Chapter 175: After the Victory
The campaign is over.
Yuan Hao's army moved into the Los Angeles Machinery City as soon as the battle was won, and he occupied it and carried out the "moving" operation according to the pre-made plan.
In just seven hours, he removed everything that Yuan Hao thought was useful in the Los Angeles Machinery City. All that remains of the matrix is an empty mechanical city and a few traces of war.
In this way, Yuan Hao left abruptly, just like his sudden appearance.
The huge number of troops, the dense transport ships disappeared into the rough ocean.
After Yuan Hao left, the matrix creator who learned the news of the mutation of the Los Angeles Machine due to the self-destruction of the interference signal tower, rushed to the Los Angeles Machine Machinery City as soon as he learned the news. But when they arrived at the Los Angeles Machinery City, what they saw was silence.
"It's empty, and the whole city, more than a million people...... Who did it cause such a huge loss of our property?" the Creator, who had been rewarded by the Scouting Force, narrowed his eyes and was puzzled.
He doesn't really think very highly of the human beings, who are regarded as property and energy by their new generation of rulers.
It was only in consideration of the role of human beings in promoting the evolution of their own race and the related energy problems that he had to pay attention to the defeat of these subordinates produced by them.
As the builder of all mechanical life and the world of the Matrix, he does have the ability to be close to the Heavenly Dao in the Matrix, and has been manipulating fate between humans and machines for hundreds of years, allowing the entire Matrix to grow in reincarnation after reincarnation. He was able to see through everything—and he thought so himself.
But after receiving this report from his subordinates, he was a little confused. He couldn't find out who had done it, and a feeble fear gripped his heart.
"Tell me...... What the hell is going on? It can't be the people of Zion who did it. Unable to find out who the enemy was, the Creator was a little frustrated, and he went straight to the Prophet and glared at her and questioned her.
The Prophet was a middle-aged woman with black hair, she was chubby, her face was covered with bits and pieces of brown spots, and her appearance was not described, but her expression was quite kind.
She didn't seem to be a grumpy person, and she didn't ask the Creator politely, she just rolled her eyes and shook her head gently: "I am called a prophet only because it seems to the people of Zion that I know a lot of things and can give them guidance accordingly.
But what I know is either known, or a summary of some kind of regularity, and the possibility of the future is derived...... As for direct sensing of the unknown, I haven't been able to get to that point yet. How can I calculate that ethereal future without enough knowing?"
"So......" What else the Creator wants to ask?
But the Prophet interrupted him: "There are too many unknowns, too little is known, and now is the critical moment...... Can you put this thing aside for a moment? Los Angeles is just a remote place.
We all know that he must have been the work of a powerful enemy...... Since they are enemies, then they will definitely have the next move. Now we should hold our ground and do our own thing while secretly observing the relevant situation! Don't be too anxious. ”
"Whew...... You're right!" The Creator was silent for a long time, and nodded heavily: "I really can't mess around. Compared with the more than 1 million people in Los Angeles, it is more important to upgrade the whole world.
If we can really find a way out of the world, then we don't need to continue with the matrix reduction plan.
To be honest, reincarnation after reincarnation made me even more confused...... Where is the way out?"
"This is something that needs to be guided, it needs to be chosen...... We were a little too anxious. The Prophet sighed and got up and left.
The Creator sat in thought for a long time, shook his head vigorously, and then stepped forward, walked to a door, and gently opened it back to his pure white designer space.
He didn't say anything more, but somehow gave an order to all those under his rule: "All be vigilant." I don't want to see it a second time!"
The Creator raised the alert of the Matrix agents, and the Prophet ordered something through someone in Zion who trusted her very much.
As a result, an astonishing piece of news circulated within the Human Resistance: "Another terrible force has emerged in the world...... They destroyed the Los Angeles machine, killing nearly a million people...... There is a good chance that they are mechanical rebels. Their treatment of humanity is more brutal than the Matrix, and they have come to exterminate humanity. I want you to help me find their ......"—that's what the Prophet said.
"What? Los Angeles, nearly a million of our compatriots are ......," the people of Zion also felt a chill at this. Because the news came from that person's mouth, and it was the words of the prophet, they did not doubt the truth of the news.
For a time, the Zion warship was everywhere. After believing the words of the prophet, they all tried to find the man who destroyed Los Angeles. As for what to do after finding the guy who could even kill the Los Angeles machine, they didn't think much about it.
The people of Zion are full of energy, but they don't think that they are the weakest party.
The trajectory of the world was fluctuated under Yuan Hao's big action, and no one can say for sure whether this trajectory will have any impact because of this.
And for this series of changes, Yuan Hao himself has no impression at all. It took Yuan Hao a full month to transport more than a million people from the west coast of the North American continent to his base on the east coast.
At this point, an even larger space has been carved out of the base's underground, in which countless devices resembling biopower plants exist.
Yuan Hao asked the transport jellyfish to put the cell cabins in the transport ship into it one by one, and then reconnected their consciousness, and re-weaved a memory, connecting them into their own matrix.
Nothing seems to have changed, for those who are addicted to sleep.
For others, a strange feeling rises in their hearts. They already vaguely felt the strangeness of this world.
"What the hell is wrong with this world?" they thought curiously.
Just when they were skeptical, a strange message appeared on their phones or computers: "Do you want to know the meaning of life, do you want to be truly alive?"
"Uh...... Such a statement seems to be a bit of a point!" When I was apprehensive, there were always people who resonated with such a statement, and some people were very curious about it, so someone clicked into it and was teleported to another place.
It was an existence called imaginary space, which was also part of the matrix that Yuan Hao had constructed. It's just that unlike the stable and peaceful modern city, the imaginary space is quite cruel.
It was a barracks, a place where people learned to obey and know the truth. In Yuan Hao's original idea, he wanted to use this existence similar to this main god space to extract people who were suspicious of the "real" world, and guide them step by step how to accept the reality that the world has been played with and human beings are no longer the protagonists.
Those who can accept it, those who "survive" in the imaginary space will become Yuan Hao's subordinates and come to the real real world, and those who can't accept all this, who have repeatedly failed in the imaginary space, and finally die in battle, will be eliminated by the imaginary space, and will be teleported back to the stable real world after some memory operations, and continue to live a chaotic life of drunken dreams and death.
This may sound like a better choice, but Yuan Hao said to them three months later when he successfully came to this cold and desperate world after his initial assessment: "The reality is disgusting, maybe there are still people here who are nostalgic for the peace and beauty there."
People perceive the world through their senses, and when all senses are misled, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the unreal and the real. But this is already the case with your generation, do you want the people after you, your children, your children's children to be like this?
The road is made by man, and the greatness of human beings lies in our ability to create. It seems that it is very difficult and desperate now, but no matter how difficult and desperate, do we have the difficult and desperate situation that our human ancestors faced?
We must open up a path for our descendants, a way for a race to survive.
If you don't want humans to continue to exist as fruits, then you have to put them back in their main roles. Man is in charge of all things, not a mechanical puppet like he is today!"
At the same time, these young people with an average age of less than thirty in Yuan Hao were full of enthusiasm. At the beginning of the selection of servants, Yuan Hao deliberately set the range below thirty.
In Yuan Hao's view, people of this age not only tend to mature mentally, but also have a certain degree of plasticity and have the last blood.
"Such a person is quite easy to train!" At least that's what Yuan Hao himself thinks. Of course, he didn't imagine it either. In fact, this has been proven in the training that has just been experienced.
These people selected by Yuan Hao do have good obedience and enthusiasm, and they are all passionate people. After more than a million more mouths, Yuan Hao's work has indeed become busier.
You don't just take them and do it, you take them and make them work for you, you have to take care of their provisions.
To put it simply, it is a matter of eating. In the days of Machine City, the machines of the Matrix "fed" and ate corpses by liquefiing them, extracting nutrients from them, and feeding them like the inside of the human body.
And now that Yuan Hao manages all this instead of the Machinery City, he naturally can't use people to feed him like the Machinery City.
Therefore, Yuan Hao chose the path of gene cloning, which is simply to open up a large nutrient tank, and then use the eggs brought from the small world to artificially incubate, turn them into various organisms, and then clone and breed these creatures, and then liquefy them in the corresponding fusion tank - at the beginning, the mechanical city let people eat human corpses, and now Yuan Hao makes people eat animal corpses.
The same is to obtain the corresponding nutrition through intravenous injection, and the same is to feed on corpses, but Yuan Hao's means are more acceptable.
It's just a more troublesome procedure, Yuan Hao has collected the hearts of those soldiers who have graduated, and it is possible to use this to collect the hearts of those soldiers who are about to be liberated in the future.
After all, it's not a barbaric era of drinking Maoru's blood, and people still have certain rules in their hearts. Eating people or something, although there is a whole set of processes, but most people still don't approve of it.
"But...... The intravenous nutrient delivery device of the matrix is still very effective. Speaking of this, Yuan Hao involuntarily crooked the building.
"ACCORDING TO THEIR DELIVERY METHOD, AN ADULT HUMAN ONLY NEEDS 400CC OF NUTRIENT SOLUTION A DAY...... Again, this is done at a diluted concentration. If there is a higher concentration, this amount needs to be further reduced...... It's a really useful set of techniques.
It does not act directly on the body through digestion of the stomach and intestines. Maximum energy support in the smallest amount. It reminds me of the legendary drip irrigation. Yuan Hao said and narrowed his eyes slightly, and he asked the red queen: "Do you think we can use this process?"
"You want to?" the red queen seemed to have guessed something.
"Some of us in our practice pay attention to exercising our physique. Since this set of techniques of the matrix can be used to survive for the basic needs of human beings, can it be applied to my body, so that I can better absorb all kinds of required cultivation resources?" Yuan Hao put forward this proposition, and he imagined: "If this can be done, then my cultivation speed can definitely be greatly improved. ”
"Is this really good? Anyway, master, can you really accept a few openings in your body? And it's a permanent one? When you used the T virus for reinforcement, you insisted on your own intention, excreted all the T virus, and only used it as your own reinforcement stimulus, so now...... Have you changed your mind, master?" asked the Red Queen with a crackling voice.
"This ......," Yuan Hao said. He froze there, his eyes widened and he thought about it, and finally nodded a little reluctantly, "You're right! When I see something that is useful, I want to use it as a ...... Strange, when did I start this sense of urgency?"
This one......
Yuan Hao couldn't say clearly, but he understood that this sense of urgency was a sick heart, and he should relax instead of continuing to be nervous.
"Perhaps, I should find a time to take a good rest?" Yuan Hao thought.
With a lot of things on the right track, the rest of the things are that the human body factory needs Yuan Hao to pay attention to the progress from time to time - in fact, it's not very problematic, just need routine attention. In short, Yuan Hao at this time can indeed rest for a while.
So......
"Where should I go to play?" Yuan Hao pondered this question seriously.
At this time, someone outside reported, "Zion hovercraft Mohican requests landing!"
"Moxican, is Ex here?" Yuan Hao was slightly stunned, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
