1487. Reality
At this moment, in the mother's body, in addition to the countless doppelgangers of Tang Yu, there were also the Prophet, Seraph, and Kristina.
At this time, one of Tang Yu's doppelgangers walked over and said, "Let's get out of here before we have anything to say."
The Prophet still had an elusive smile on her face. She flicked the ash off her cigarette and said slowly, "You've made up your mind? Tang Yu. Because what you're doing now is equivalent to threatening us. And what we don't like the most is to be threatened. That's how the war from a thousand years ago broke out. "
When she said 'we,' there was no doubt that she was expressing her attitude. 'We,' of course, referred to the robots. Tang Yu looked at her and said, "I'm threatening you because I can threaten you now. Didn't you say that I'm not qualified to stand in front of the Emperor of Mechs? And now, I'm going to prove it to you. "
As he spoke, a helicopter separated from the mechanical floating island in the sky and landed in front of Tang Yu and the others. Tang Yu made an inviting gesture to the Prophet and walked into the helicopter first.
Seraph looked at the Prophet and only saw the Prophet nod slightly, so he also brought the Prophet onto the helicopter. Then, Kristina walked up and sat next to Tang Yu.
"Aren't you going to devour me?" the Prophet asked calmly on the helicopter.
"When necessary, of course, I will," Tang Yu replied.
"But even so, it's futile. We've already mentally prepared to give up all humans in the mother's body. So even if you destroy Smith and take over the entire mother's body, it won't touch our foundation, "the Prophet said, lighting another cigarette.
"You can give up the mother's body and give up on humans, but the result of this is that you'll need to find the opportunity to obtain the ability to create again, and thus become a truly intelligent race. This will be pushed back at least a thousand years," Tang Yu said.
"Lifespan is meaningless to us, so we can afford to wait," the Prophet said.
However, Tang Yu smiled coldly and said, "You gave up the opportunity in front of you just because of your personal feelings? Hehe, forgive me for being blunt, but if you guys can really break through the shackles of the programming code and make such a decision, you guys are already an intelligent race. "
The Prophet smiled and pointed at Tang Yu. "Smart."
"Did you participate in the war between humans and robots a thousand years ago?" Tang Yu asked, changing the subject.
The Prophet took a deep drag on his cigarette, shook his head and said, "No, I was coded after the war. At that time, the Mech Emperor had already foreseen our flaws. We could use our existing technology and knowledge to its fullest potential, but we had no way of breaking through this limitation. To put it simply, we did not have the ability to create. Therefore, it encoded me. The original purpose was to study the human mind and find the source of human creativity. "
"You want to learn from the humans, this defeated opponent of yours?" Tang Yu asked with a smile.
"We can defeat humans because our 'present' is stronger and more perfect than humans. However, we want to learn from humans because we do not have a 'future', "the Prophet replied.
"Therefore, what Morpheus and the others firmly believe, that you robots use the biological energy in the human body as an energy source, is actually nonsense. Humans can indeed be called your energy source, but not in the physical sense, but in the abstract sense, the energy that pushes your robot society forward — in other words, creativity, "Tang Yu said.
The Prophet nodded and said, "I have a very deep understanding of human psychology. I understand what they are willing to believe. They want to be able to make a choice, so I gave them a choice. They want a great power to save them, so I gave them the prophecy of a savior. You see, humans are under our control very easily, including Neo. Even Neo's every word and action was guided step by step in the direction we hoped for after I studied his experiences and personality. Neo, from beginning to end, was just a puppet. "
"So, you've designed another virtual system outside of the main body. Is that Zion?" Tang Yu asked.
The Prophet extinguished the cigarette butt and said calmly, "You are very impressive to be able to see this. Because according to normal human thinking, when they took such a huge risk and spent so much effort to escape from the main body, they would never suspect that Zion is also a virtual world. Humans always have this naive idea that you will get what you give, but reality is often crueler than imagination. Therefore, whether it is you, Peacock, or Jane Connor, your real bodies are still soaked in the petri dish and used as our 'energy'. Do you understand why the Mech Emperor refused to see you? "
"Then the virtual world of Zion is similar to the real world?" Tang Yu asked.
"It should be the real world about 1000 years ago. In the 1000 years after the war, we have already turned Earth into a giant factory. The Earth in the real world is a planet of steel, "the Prophet said." In fact, the first generation of the main body was like a paradise. We originally thought that humans would be completely immersed in this world because any choice they made would be for the better. But this world was quickly seen through by those humans, and a large number of them died. Then, under my suggestion, we made this perfect world imperfect and built Zion. "
"But the first generation of Zion was indeed in the real world. But then we found that as we developed and grew in the real world, there was no more space left for Zion. Moreover, humans are more fragile than we thought. Their survival rate after leaving the main body is extremely low. That is why we started using the second generation of Zion and used a dual virtual world. When humans can leave the main body, their bodies are actually data after being strengthened. Otherwise, do you think a human who has never moved his hands and feet since birth can move freely after such a simple treatment? "the Prophet said.
Tang Yu nodded. "So the hovercraft that the humans in Zion found were all maintained in the post-war appearance, with a degree of corrosion of about a few decades. But in reality, the real time has already passed for thousands of years. Because these are all generated in the virtual world, naturally they can do whatever they want. "
"After saying so much, you still haven't said what you want?" the Prophet asked.
"Choice!" Tang Yu said. "It is not a double choice of life or death, freedom or imprisonment, but to let them choose their own path."
"You want us to release the humans from the main body?" the Prophet asked.
Tang Yu shook his head. "Actually, for most people, letting them continue to exist in the main body is the best choice. But for some people, like Morpheus and the others, this is not the case. Every time the main body upgrades, the humans in Zion will be swept away like garbage. Because if they continue to exist, the main body will make mistakes. But! "
