"Just say what you have to say. Just like you usually do, speak freely. I guarantee that no one will ascend to heaven where they are. Well... I'm actually very talkative!"
Seeing that the congressmen did not believe it, Russell first woke up the unconscious people, and then said reasonably: "I do not directly control your thinking, and then control the entire military power of Zion. I think this can explain everything."
"Come on, members, I'm here to help you, not to rule you!"
It's a very simple trick to hit a stick and give a sweet date, but the MPs all follow this trick for a simple reason. Up to now, chairs with a maximum capacity of twelve people are still sitting under their butts.
This is very comfortable!
The congressmen looked at each other for a few times, and after whispering, the leading female congressman said: "Mr. Russell, we want to know, who do you represent, and what is your purpose of helping mankind?"
The female congressman who spoke was very old, with gray hair on her temples, and she was meticulously groomed. She was a very serious person.
"I have read the conversation between Morpheus and you, and his identity has been revealed. The bosses don't like machine civilization. It's that simple..."
Russell said this, paused, and added: "I know you don't believe it, but please don't use mortal thinking to measure the big bosses' ideas. They are not the same dimension. The logic of looking at the problem is very different. You want to break your head. I won’t understand either.”
The congressmen were helpless, and Russell had a big fist, so they tentatively agreed with this statement.
"So, how are you going to help us?"
"I finally came up with an idea..."
Russell raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "Morpheus has said the truth about Zion, so I won't repeat it. Frankly speaking, it will be easy for the mechanical squid to destroy you, because it has been successful for the first five times, and the machine civilization has no idea how to conquer it. Zion has a lot of experience, so if he expects his defense to survive, he might as well expect the robot to have a conscience..."
"Unfortunately, robots don't even have a heart, let alone a conscience."
Russell made no secret of his contempt for Zion and continued: "In my opinion, if humans want to defeat robots, they can only take the initiative and implement beheading tactics on the mechanical city, which is the same trick humans used back then - cutting off power. !”
"We also understand this truth, but in the past century, no spacecraft has ever been able to approach the Mechanical City, and all military operations against the Mechanical City have ended in failure."
"Even if we succeed, we humans cannot afford the loss. If the Mechanical City is attacked, the matrix matrix will be shut down immediately, and everyone will be buried with it!"
"The operation requires the dispatch of most of the suspension ships. Zion lacks defensive measures and the risk is too great..."
"..."
The congressmen said to each other that the risks outweighed the opportunities and that they could not gamble with the lives of 250,000 human beings.
The congressmen were right. Russell didn't object. After they calmed down, he said: "I didn't let you use those broken ships to fight with the robots. That is suicide. Before implementing decapitation tactics, I will help you update your technology." strength……"
Speaking of this, Russell grinned: "What do you think the savior is here to do? Directly destroy the Mechanical City, and then let you enjoy the fruits of victory?"
"Don't be stupid, that's not the savior, that's the nanny!"
"..."
The congressmen looked embarrassed, and the female congresswoman changed the subject and said: "What does it mean to update technological capabilities? Can you explain it in more detail?"
"To be more specific, it's cheating!"
Russell reached out from behind his butt and took out a digital camera, which caused Neo to look sideways and subconsciously glanced behind Russell.
Where is it hidden?
"A long time ago...forget it, I won't make it up..."
Russell was too lazy to tell the story and made it clear: "There is a lot of precious technological information in this digital camera. I will import the data into the Zion host and help you perform a collective upgrade as soon as possible."
"Oh, I almost forgot. The data contains strong artificial intelligence, which is the early template of machine civilization. Just a friendly reminder, don't seek death again."
"..."
The congressmen were ecstatic when they heard the first half of the sentence, but the second half turned them into eggplants beaten by frost and wilted.
A group of people feel sad. It is better not to bring out such a dangerous thing. What if it goes wrong and there are two machine civilizations on the land at the same time?
"In terms of weapons, you see, don't be too hasty to study things that are too complicated, especially those involving network technology, lest you shoot yourself in the foot."
After saying this, Russell pondered for a moment, leaving some time for the members to chatter. He didn't listen to a word. When the voice gradually faded, he said: "The Matrix is indeed a troublesome thing. It is unrealistic to liberate everyone in one go. Zion doesn’t have that much material to feed them.”
"But it's not good to just leave it alone. It's equivalent to when a war begins. Machine civilization holds hostages, which will make us very passive."
"Therefore, attacking the Mechanical City and seizing control of the matrix must be carried out at the same time. At the very least, the cables connecting the two must be cut off before the beheading tactic can be implemented against the Mechanical City."
Russell's words were like a boulder falling into a lake, causing the calm water surface to explode immediately.
"This is too difficult, Zion's military strength cannot do this!"
"If the cable is cut, the decapitation tactic will lose the advantage of a surprise attack. When the spacecraft arrives at the Machine City, they will be greeted by an army of robots, which will eventually trigger a large-scale war."
"It is more difficult to seize control of the matrix. Even if all the hackers enter the matrix together, they are no match for computer agents..."
"..."
"There is indeed trouble over there in the Matrix!"
Russell nodded in agreement with this statement: "I have tested the maximum limit of the matrix. In the virtual world, the program set by the robot is too powerful, and it is as good as a god."
(lll￢ω￢)
Morpheus and Neo swayed and glanced sideways at Russell. If they hadn't been there at the time, they would have almost believed Russell's lies.
A few days ago, Russell was showing off his power in Matrix, hammering down the most powerful version of the anti-virus software and almost crashing the system.
Just hammer it, and after hammering it, you still say that the anti-virus software is too powerful, how shameless?
Or is it that gods use marketing strategies to flatter their enemies to increase their own worth?
Russell did not notice the psychological changes between the two of them, pointed at Neo and said: "Fortunately, we have a savior here. Although he is much worse than me and cannot touch the ceiling of the matrix, his identity is very important and the decision Whether the matrix can be safely restarted."
"What's the meaning?"
"It means that the matrix has hostages, and we also have hostages!"
Neo: "..."
Come again?
"Of course, it is impossible to exchange hostages. Robots will not keep their promises. We humans are not good, not even as good as robots."
After the words fell, everyone in the meeting hall seemed to be interested. The words were true, but they couldn't be said like that!
"When the cable is cut, Neo will enter the matrix, giving the program hope of restarting the system and preventing them from jumping over the wall and erasing everyone's consciousness."
After Russell finished speaking, he turned to look at the shocked Neo: "Don't panic. Last time I fought with Chang Wei, I left something in the matrix to ensure that you won't be beaten to death."
Neo's face turned pale. After spending a few days together, he didn't believe a word Russell said.
Russell didn't explain either. There was something buried in his heart that he didn't want to say. The world view of "The Matrix", or the formation of the matrix, resulted in humans and machines being grasshoppers on a rope.
Humans cannot live without machines, and machines cannot live without humans!
This is a dead knot. Forcibly untying it is like cutting it off with scissors. Man and machine will perish together.
Therefore, Russell's real goal is only the Mechanical City. If he can defeat the Mechanical City, he will demolish it. If he cannot defeat it, he will sacrifice a Neo and then consider the long term.
After sorting out the plot some time ago, he found that the key element to successfully ending the plot of "The Matrix" is not the successful upgrade of the matrix matrix, but the end of the war and peace in Zion.
He didn't like the peace in the original plot. Since it was all about peace, why not a peace led by humans?
In the meeting hall, the members whispered to each other and whispered about the feasibility of Russell's plan.
Cut off the connection between the Matrix and the Mechanical City, and then use Neo's savior ability in the Matrix to stabilize the safety of human lives in the 'Power Plant', and at the same time implement a decapitation plan for the Mechanical City, thereby taking over the control of the Matrix and repairing human society. Awakening the humans in the matrix little by little.
It sounds great and feels doable, but in actual implementation, the success rate is almost zero.
The results of the deliberation of the congressmen were very unified, and the plan seemed to be working out, but it was simply impossible to achieve it!
But Russell's reasoning was too great. They were unwilling to gamble with Zion's future, and they were afraid that Russell would turn his back and directly control them and forcefully order the execution of the plan.
dilemma!
For a moment, several congressmen scratched their heads and scratched their heads, their hair falling out in handfuls with worry.
So bald!
They were just curious about what God looked like, and did not think about starting a war with machine civilization immediately.
"Commander Locke, something bad is going on!"
The door of the meeting hall was pushed open, and a messenger hurriedly ran in, apologizing to the members of the council. It was an emergency and had to be done as a last resort.
Russell frowned after reading the memory of the signal soldier, and then released Locke's mind control, allowing him to take over control of himself.
"Congressmen, Commander, the defense system shows that the robot dropped an excavator drill above Zion."
The communications soldier spoke quickly: "This time is different from previous attacks. They did not avoid the defensive monitoring we set up. When they encountered fortifications, they all violently attacked and demolished them, just like crazy..."
"Calm down, soldier!"
Locke scolded and said solemnly: "How long does it take for the enemy to arrive in Zion?"
"Commander, according to calculations, the squid army will enter the dock in about 12 hours, numbering 250,000."
"..."
There was silence, no one spoke in the meeting hall.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand squid versus two hundred and fifty thousand humans, it's really like a machine!"
Russell looked at a row of congressmen: "Everyone, it seems that the war has begun, and you have no choice!"
