The agreement was signed, and neither party had the heart to play the track, so everything was completed very quickly.

Yuan Hao supplied Zion with the materials needed for Zion and three of the five Jim Guards, and Zion also provided Yuan Hao with seventy of the one hundred and twenty instructors and about a thousand tons of rare earth ore.

This is the most people and ore that Yuan Hao's rangers can carry. In fact, it wasn't until this moment that Yuan Hao realized that there was one of the most troublesome problems with the connection between himself and Zion, and that was the problem of the connection between them.

Yuan Hao wants the ore to be transported from Zion, and the Jim Guardian that Zion needs also needs Yuan Hao to be responsible for providing. Although Yuan Hao has a cruiser in his hand, the cruiser is a battleship, and it is impossible for him to use such a good thing as a transport ship. Moreover, the frequent take-off and landing of warships in one area is likely to be noticed by the Machine City side and guess where Zion is.

This is not something Yuan Hao wants to see.

For this reason, Yuan Hao decided to discuss with Zion to come up with a better way to facilitate trade between them.

"Zion is a city deep underground. Our forward base is also underground, and of course we are not as deep as Zion. However, what do you think if we try to dig a trading tunnel from the forward base to Zion, and use the trading tunnel between us to secure the location of Zion in a secret and safe way?" Yuan Hao asked to see the speaker of Zion and made such a request to him.

"Hey...... Dig a tunnel? Do you know how long this tunnel needs to be dug?" The speaker of Zion was directly startled by Yuan Hao's proposal.

"Our forward base is about 3,500 kilometers away from Zion, and if you count the distance to the underground, I estimate that digging a tunnel of about 4,000-5,000 kilometers will be enough. tools, I can use a specialized industrial robot...... They excavated 24 hours a day, enough to complete the entire tunnel in a month. Yuan Hao looked very excited: "It takes a month to connect us, which is still very cost-effective." ”

"Ah...... I think we need to discuss this matter carefully. Establishing a direct channel of contact with you is a big deal for Zion. Listening to Yuan Hao's words, the speaker understood that he had done his homework, and if he didn't say anything, it was just such a big matter, and he really couldn't make a decision himself, so he could only delay it for the time being.

He needs time to consult with everyone.

"I understand! I'll be here for a few more days, and I hope you'll give me a satisfactory answer soon. Yuan Hao narrowed his eyes and whispered.

"I will!" the speaker nodded heavily, "I will hold a meeting as soon as possible to discuss this matter." If all goes well, then I think I'll be able to give you an answer tomorrow. ”

"That's the best!" Yuan Hao smiled, and then said goodbye to the speaker.

After Yuan Hao left, the Speaker quickly notified the members of Zion to convene a meeting to discuss the matter.

In fact, there is not much effort to discuss, and it is a common need between the two to open up a business route connecting the two and smoothly implement the transaction agreement between them.

Although such a thing as transporting MS can also ask Yuan Hao to use his rangers or some other warship to carry out this matter, but they are also unwilling to put the business between each other completely on Yuan Hao. As for asking Yuan Hao to build more and larger transport ships...... They said that they still had to save face, and they really couldn't say anything like that.

"We've gained a lot in this kind of deal, and we continue to ask for it shamelessly. A lawmaker said.

His words resonated with everyone: "Hey...... It really can't be like that. ”

"But if we accede to their request, then the location of our Zion will be completely exposed. It's a big disservice to us in Zion. Some people are so worried.

"What are you worried about? Even if you don't open the tunnel, do you want to open the port area every time someone transports MS over? The warship is very fast, and it only takes a few hours to go back and forth.

You can come back several times a day. With such a high frequency of take-off and landing, I am afraid that the mechanical city will also discover where our Zion is. At that time, before our MS has formed a scale, the mechanical city will call. This is not a joke. It's much better to communicate from the ground than to transport from the sky. More retorted dismissively.

"Well......" listened to the opinions of approval and rebuttal, and the speaker did not immediately make a decision.

He groaned for a moment and turned his head to look at Locke, the military commander of Zion: "Your Excellency, commander, if we turn against Mr. Yuan Hao because of this, can we win against him?"

"Can't!" Commander Locke was slightly stunned by the speaker's words, and then replied directly: "People's warships are better than us, and mechs are better than us."

If there is a battle between the two of us, I am afraid that the result will not be much better than the exercise that day. And is it necessary for us to fall out with other people? We're all human...... Even if he wanted Zion, I don't think it would be a big deal. Zion's family is not good. Commander Locke sighed.

"This ...... It's also ...... "When you talk behind closed doors, you don't have to hide some words."

The more they are at the top, the more these parliamentarians truly understand the meaning of this sentence. Zion is not as strong as many people think, and the future of Zion is not as strong as many people think. Barely developing, struggling to survive, this is the truest feeling of the Zion councilors.

They knew exactly how much money Zion had.

Look at what they're wearing.

As councillors, they also refused to wear silk and satin, and in fact they wore clothes that were only slightly better than those of the captains and civilians. Living in such a difficult environment, they really have nothing to enjoy, compared to the "extravagant" decorations that Yuan Hao placed on the Ranger, they live like pigs.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, and Yuan Hao's appearance obviously made them realize their backwardness. Their views were greatly impacted. Under such an impact, they also have some inferiority.

Gradually, they lowered their status and looked at Yuan Hao with a look of equality and a little admiration. Although it is not indicated, if Yuan Hao reveals the idea of letting them take refuge, it is estimated that they will agree. Of course, such a promise will definitely require Yuan Hao to pay more.

"You say, wouldn't it be better if we handed over Zion to this young man. We're not in a small grade. The gray-haired Speaker asked Commander Locke.

When the meeting was over, the crowd dispersed, and the Speaker left Commander Locke behind to talk to him about it.

Contrary to the expectations of everyone in Zion, Locke, who usually looks lonely and arrogant, seems to be the most friendly guy to Yuan Hao now.

"I have no opinion. But now is not the time!" Commander Locke said bluntly, "and I have some concerns about him as well. ”

"My child, what are you worried about?" the old speaker looked at Locke with his eyes open.

"Computer Man...... Intelligent Life ...... I've heard that they are also equipped with highly intelligent computers, and some even have computerized human forms to follow them directly. There is already a matrix, a creator, and it is enough to give us a headache. I don't want to see the danger again. It's hard for me to trust them until they show their absolute control over computer people. I have reservations about that. Commander Locke was very direct about his opinion.

"Are you worried about the recurrence of yesterday?" the old speaker glanced at Locke and nodded slightly, "This is indeed something we need to estimate. But with our past in front of them, they shouldn't be unwary. Maybe it's not as bad as you think. ”

"I'm vigilant! I don't believe in maybe, I only trust what I see, my own judgment. Anyway, I think we'd better let this matter go first. It's only the first time we've met each other, and we still need to see how we communicate with each other. Why should we bother to go up so blindly? Zion, though there is some trouble. But it's not yet the point where tomorrow will be destroyed. Locke said with a smile.

"Yes!" said the old speaker, laughing.

And so the conversation ended. Since Locke had the idea of taking a second look, he would not object to the exchange between Yuan Hao and Zion. He wanted to observe and observe again, and naturally he wanted to pull others in front of his eyes.

Naturally, this matter can only be done according to Yuan Hao's suggestion. The old speaker immediately asked Ikoth to show Yuan Hao the decision of Zion's side, and handed over one of Zion's most confidential data, Zion's city coordinates, to Yuan Hao.

Yuan Hao understood that this was Zion making his position and trust clear to himself. In terms of Zion's strength, since people dare to hand over their coordinates to you, it means that they believe that you will not be against them.

"Is this for my sake, which is also a human being? Yuan Hao narrowed his eyes as he spoke, and he felt heaviness.

However, since Zion had agreed to the plan for a connection between the two places, Yuan Hao planned to return to the front line base as soon as possible to arrange this matter. He's been in Zion for almost a month, and he does have a lot of compulsions to go home. But just as he was about to leave, Morpheus suddenly found Yuan Hao.

"The Prophet wants to see you!" said Morpheus, earnestly, and rightly so.

"What?" Yuan Hao heard Morpheus say this, and the expression on his face suddenly changed: "You told the prophet of my existence?"

"I don't know if your presence is good or bad for us, so I ask the Prophet for help. I believe the prophet ......," Morpheus said.

The prophet helped him a lot before, and he still believed in the prophet a little more than Yuan Hao, a strange "life-saving benefactor" who had not been meeting for a long time, and Yuan Hao did not specifically explain that the people of Zion should hide their existence. The things that Yuan Hao brought to Zion were naturally necessary for Zion, and Morpheus admitted that Yuan Hao was helpful to Zion.

But with the help of Yuan Hao, some things in Zion began to change inexplicably. Morpheus didn't know whether this change was good or bad, and he was a little confused, so he naturally turned to the prophet for answers. He believed that the prophet would help him and clear himself of his confusion—in a sense, Morpheus was a believer, a prophet-worshipping believer.

"It's terrible...... How can I forget that Zion still has a lot of prophetic brainless fans?" Yuan Hao frowned secretly in his heart.

Originally, he didn't expect to expose himself to the eyes of the matrix boss so quickly. Morpheus believed in the prophet, but Yuan Hao did not.

Although the Prophet has helped many of humanity's awakened people, he is a computer man after all. Yuan Hao, who wanted to re-establish the leading role of the human race, did not believe that at the juncture when he wanted to destroy the matrix, the prophet would disregard the interests of the entire race and stand on the side of the human race. He still had some doubts about the Prophet. He knew he would meet the prophet eventually, but he didn't want it to be now.

However, looking at Morpheus, who sincerely made a request to him, Yuan Hao understood that such a thing would happen, and maybe he couldn't blame him. After all, everyone has their own ideas and their own persistence.

"Morpheus may think that it is also good for him to let the prophet meet with him......" Yuan Hao muttered, and then thought again: "Is it good or bad for me to meet with the prophet?"

In fact, from the description of the Prophet in the movie, the Prophet is not a character with extraordinary combat effectiveness, she needs the protection of others, but as the two major bosses of the Matrix, you think that she is a powerless person, then you are very wrong.

With some kind of authority over the entire matrix, how could it be so simple.

"But what would the prophet do to me?" Yuan Hao couldn't figure out why.

It's just that an inexplicable feeling in his heart told him that it would be excellent to meet with the prophet and understand the demeanor of the matrix boss.

"Moreover, the Prophet is a character who has direct contact with the Matrixhead Creator...... In that case, why don't I give some of my own words to the Creator?" Yuan Hao thought, his heart moved, but he nodded lightly: "When are we going to see the Prophet." Now?"

Yuan Hao looked at Morpheus.

"No, not now! Enter the matrix here for the coordinates I'm worried about being exposed. Morpheus shook his head.

"In fact, I made an appointment with her in five days. We'll get back to the ground and enter the matrix somewhere near New York Machine City. Morpheus was honest with his thoughts.

"Okay, then do as you say. Yuan Hao directly agreed, and everything was arranged according to Morpheus.

At this time, he had already thought of what he was going to say to the Prophet - peace, peace under equal strength, although it was a little early to say this, but it was not impossible to say it.

"Anyway, let's go and see what the prophet is up to. Yuan Hao thought.
