Chapter 176: Goodbye
This is the second time that Ax has come to Yuan Hao's forward base.
The last time was more than a year ago, it was not long after Yuan Hao came to this world, and the advance base had just opened a space. Although it is a little special, it is still a little firm in the end.
But now it is different, more than a year later, the opening of the forward base has reached a scale, not only the facilities have been further improved, but even the original dock port has more than tripled compared to the original expansion.
The whole base looks magnificent and atmospheric, not as narrow and gloomy as ordinary people imagine the underwater base, but looks bright, making people feel like they have entered the future world.
Well, it's pretty sci-fi indeed—for Ex. The people are still the same as last time, and there are no new faces. It's just that after more than a year of experience, they were very young at the beginning, but now they are a little sophisticated.
Yuan Hao saw these childish retreating faces, and sighed in his heart: "It seems that they have grown a lot." ”
While sighing and leading them down, Yuan Hao and Ex came to the reception hall of the front line base together.
It was an extremely spacious reception room, with pure white pink walls, pure white lighting, thick carpets, and thick mahogany round tables—all of which they had never seen before, but they were all in the matrix. Everything in the matrix can be considered data and is unreal.
And all these unreal things appear in this real world...... It really surprised and extravagant Ex.
"Looks like you're doing well, and you can use these things. After the two sides sat down, Huang Yun served hot tea to everyone. Smelling the faintly fragrant heat floating in the celadon teacup, Ex and his party were a little like a hillbilly entering the Grand View Garden, and there was a fuss of surprise.
"Is this true? We're not going to enter the matrix without even knowing it. Startled, Ex reached for the back of his head and touched the cold, hard metal socket there.
That's right, we do feel like we're in the real world.
As Ex made the move, he looked to the left and right: Mina was still there, she was a natural person, and naturally it was impossible for her to enter the matrix - which once again showed that she was in the real world now.
"This ...... How did you get it? The sky is dark all over the world...... The forest is basically extinct because of this, how did you get this?" asked Ex as he stroked the table in front of him with his hand, feeling the warmth and hardness and a hint of heaviness that was not the same as steel.
"Is this difficult? As long as you have the right technology and enough energy...... If you want trees, you can clone them out. Wasn't that what genetic engineering did in the beginning?" Yuan Hao smiled slightly, spread his hands, and said very indifferently.
"Huh, can you do this?" Ex was slightly surprised, and then smiled bitterly.
Yuan Hao said it simply, but he couldn't really do it. Zion has enough energy, relying on the geothermal heat of the planet Earth, Zion's energy is not a problem.
However, the related technology ...... Zion is completely gone.
After the last bitter struggle, "most of the human civilization" has been destroyed. Not only is there an extreme lack of tools, but even most of the technical inheritance is missing.
And the population base of Zion's millions of people also determines that it is impossible for them to rely on farming to recover all this, and the matrix deliberately creates a situation of pressing step by step, which makes the people of Zion generally have a sense of urgency.
In this case, the people of Zion had to rush for quick success. They attach importance to the use of science and technology, and to everything that can really provide them with short-term strength.
As for the development of new weapons or something, they were all vetoed because the cycle was too long.
In short, in Yuan Hao's words, the feelings of the Zion people are somewhat similar to the psychology of those awakened people who have just entered the imaginary space, and they are all in a precarious environment, the attitude of rushing for quick success and quick profit. This is actually understandable, after all, you don't know if there will be a tomorrow, so it is more important to produce one shell than to study a nuclear formula.
To put it bluntly, this is still a matter of choosing between the reality of safety within reach and the beautiful life far away. For Zion's choice, Ex didn't know whether it was good or bad, so he could only smile bitterly at Yuan Hao's explanation.
He shook his head helplessly.
There was no way, Ex could only talk about the purpose of his visit: "You have to be careful!"
"Why?" asked Yuan Hao.
"Don't you know?" Ex looked at him in surprise, and suddenly came to his senses, "yes! you can't enter the matrix, so ...... It's normal that you don't know. In fact, I'm here to warn you that an even more formidable enemy has emerged. ”
"Who is the more terrible enemy??have you met him?" Yuan Hao was slightly startled when he heard this, and asked with a confused expression.
"I don't know exactly who this enemy is. I didn't meet him either, I just got news from Morpheus...... It came from the Prophet. It is said that the enemy destroyed the city of Los Angeles, killing more than a million of its compatriots. Ex said in a heavy tone.
"Destroy the enemies of Los Angeles? How do you think they are our enemies? Just because of the words of the prophet?" Hearing Ex say this, Yuan Hao was slightly stunned, and a series of rhetorical questions blurted out.
In response to Yuan Hao's inquiry, Ex sighed and shook his head gently: "Most of the captains of Zion believe the words of the prophet. Because she has always helped us. In fact, many people, including myself, have been rescued because of the prophets. She is the one who leads us on the right path......"
"And what about yourself?" Yuan Hao asked rhetorically.
"I'm ......," Ex choked for a moment, then smiled wryly, "I can't say it myself." I know that the prophet is here to help us. But I know that prophets are also procedures...... So I'm skeptical about her ultimate position. It's a little ungrateful, but I'm just not at ease. After all, we ...... The ultimate goal is to overthrow the rule of the machines, or even wipe them out. ”
Ex said this, the muscles on his face twisted and a little hideous. He really thinks from the standpoint of being human. You have to be at the top of the food chain to stand out from the crowd – and that's what Ex thinks.
Yuan Hao understood his thoughts very well and agreed with his thoughts very much. Although the humans in his concept are very different from the humans in Ex's thinking, there are quite a few similarities between the two so far.
So, after listening to him express his thoughts and force field from the heart, Yuan Hao decided to reveal some of his secrets to him: "Do you know? ”
This fluttering sentence was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and it shook Ex and the others not to want it.
"What?" Ex's eyes widened in surprise, "You ......"
"What am I?" Yuan Hao looked at him with a faint smile.
Maybe it was Yuan Hao's smile that soothed the shock in his heart, or maybe it was because he didn't believe in the prophet's words very much, so after hearing Yuan Hao say that, he was not inexplicably annoyed.
He was shocked. But after being shocked, he was a little curious.
"How did you do that?" he asked.
"How?" Yuan Hao was slightly stunned: "Shouldn't you ask me if I killed anyone?"
"You won't!" said Ex categorically.
"Are you so sure?" Yuan Hao raised his eyebrows: "We don't seem to be that familiar!"
This is indeed something that must be puzzling. After all, Yuan Hao and Ex are only meeting for the second time. The second time we met, people believed in you so much - Yuan Hao always felt a little weird.
"Do I look so honest?" thought to Yuan Hao.
Of course, he knew that the real reason was not this.
But......
"Because you're human......" Ex replied with a natural fit.
What is the reason for this?
Yuan Hao tilted his head, his face full of puzzlement.
"Humans and machines are mortal enemies. If you really did it, you must want to liberate the people and strengthen your own strength. Because you are human. Ekes's explanation is still very concise and clear.
What he meant, Yuan Hao understood.
This is still a matter of position.
Because Yuan Hao is from the standpoint of human beings, for the benefit of mankind and in order to defeat the machine, Yuan Hao will definitely not slaughter all human beings.
After all, this is not what it used to be, and there are too few human beings.
Maybe Yuan Hao has other thoughts, self-respecting thoughts, or other desires, but as long as Yuan Hao is the enemy of machines, then Ex doesn't care about Yuan Hao's actions.
Still, he was curious.
"How did you do all this?" asked Ex again.
"All the way through. I set up three sub-bases off the coast of Los Angeles. Four months ago, I sent troops from those three sub-bases to fight directly with Machine City. Machine-to-machine, I defeated them when I cut them off from the main base in advance, and moved everything back in the Los Angeles Machinery City, including the population and related equipment inside, and the data ......" Yuan Hao said calmly and calmly.
He said it lightly, but everyone was shocked by it.
Mechanical City: they've seen it. While rescuing their compatriots who had awakened from their mother's womb, they drove the hovercraft into the Machine City at the risk of death.
The countless electric spires, the mechanical octopuses that resemble schools of migratory fish in the sea, and the large combat boats that slowly cruise through the sky all terrified them.
For them, the Machine City is powerful and powerful.
And such a powerful and powerful mechanical city is actually flat in Yuan Hao's understatement, which is really ......
"It's true...... "Can you show me?"
"Hmm, what are you looking at?" Yuan Hao suddenly heard Exx's request, and suddenly became a little confused.
"I want to see how you managed to win...... I'd like to see your army!, can I?" said Ex in detail.
"Well...... Yuan Hao groaned slightly, and finally nodded in agreement: "Yes!"
With that, he stood up and led the group to the No. 1 Column Yard in the basement.
Column No. 1 is located on the fifth basement level of the forward base. This is an unusually large and tall space, and it is one of the Yuan Hao's combat readiness warehouses. There are twenty such parade fields, and they are still being developed.
"It is 536 meters long, 512 meters wide and 24 meters high, with take-off and landing layers. It is divided into 1o layers. Each floor can accommodate 10,000 T-6oo Terminators - there are 100,000 T-6oo in one warehouse. Yuan Hao led them to the top floor of the No. 1 Column Field, pointed to the light of the light, stood on the take-off and landing plane without saying a word, covered in silver metallic light, looking very cold T-6oo Terminator said to Ex and them.
The "T-6oo" type is a guy that looks like a skeleton. At this point, their power is not turned on, and they just stand quietly in place to give the impression of a group of silent statues. It's just that such a statue exudes ruthless cruelty.
"This is the weapon you used to defeat the Machine City? They look evil. Ex frowned.
Skeletons! It doesn't always feel good.
"They are all very obedient weapons!...... commanded by my aI," Yuan Hao said lightly: "They are knives, and knives don't care about evil and justice...... The key depends on who holds the knife!"
"But you don't have to worry about ......" Ex's frowning brow did not relax: "We humans have already suffered a loss......
"My aI is my closest assistant, and I am confident that I can grasp her life and death in my thoughts. Yuan Hao insisted on his own point of view.
"You!" Ex sighed.
Should you trust artificial intelligence or not?
This is the biggest disagreement between Yuan Hao and Ex.
Ex hates intelligent machines, and he always fears that intelligent machines will rebel against humanity.
Once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and this is what he thought.
But Yuan Hao is different.
Yuan Hao is confident that he can control everything.
For this, Yuan Hao couldn't convince Ex, and Ex couldn't convince Yuan Hao.
The two argued for a while, and finally subconsciously gave up the issue temporarily. After all, it's just a difference in philosophy, and the key now is to seek common ground while reserving differences to defeat the matrix.
The dispute was put to rest. Ex realized what Yuan Hao used to defeat Machine City, and in his heart, he didn't have the idea of continuing to read Yuan Hao's army.
At that moment, he asked Yuan Hao about the situation of his compatriots who had been rescued from Los Angeles.
Yuan Hao told Ex about the things that he gradually guided them to liberate, including the things that he created in the imaginary space.
Ex is interested in imaginary space, and he thinks it's a good idea.
It's just that, in his opinion, will Yuan Hao's method be too conservative?
“...... Those people are already in your hands, and you can completely free them completely. If you can accept it, you will stay, and if you can't accept it, you will give up...... Why do you want to be like this!" Ex persuaded Yuan Hao: "Your liberation seems to be a little too slow. ”
"Huh...... I think I should be on the safe side! This kind of training guarantees loyalty. Yuan Hao said lightly, this is also where he insisted.
