the end of the heavens

"It turns out that squid is not only a maintenance unit, but also a scout..."

Russell piloted the spaceship and said to himself that it was his fault. He always thought that Zion was defeated by the robot arms of miners + farmers + cooks.

Feelings underestimate squid and Zion. Humans are very powerful, and robots dispatched regular troops to defeat them.

"Also, did you knock over something just now?"

Russell asked himself, the old driver would not have a car accident, so he must have not hit anything, and it was the end of the world, so where did something hit him.

Hit a robot?

Oh, that's it!

……

The two spaceships moved at high speed, and staged various high-speed movements and exciting drifts in the underground pipeline. Because of the fully enclosed design, the crew could not see the scenery of the outside world retreating rapidly.

They only know that if they don't fasten their seat belts, they will be thrown out by the inertia of a sudden turn, and half of the time the spaceship under their buttocks is driving backwards.

Russell redesigned the internal structure of the cabin, and concentrated all the communication equipment and the control console of the spacecraft's defensive firepower on the main deck. Two rows of monitors were back to back, and several people, including Neo and Murphys, sat in two rows with headphones. There is a large electronic screen in front of everyone.

Two rows of five seats in a row, the ingenious layout design can be called a stroke of genius.

Murphys and others didn't understand the significance of this design, but they had to admit that it really felt good after sitting down.

Ms. Trinity and Switch are responsible for contacting Zion and exchanging intelligence information in real time. The others are responsible for the armed defense on the ship and are currently in a state of idleness.

Neo found that there was a "fc little bee" game on the computer, and Murphys found two of them, and the latter was furious...

Five hundred words are omitted here!

As a result, the first 'Nebchadnezzar Cup FC Little Bee Qualifying Tournament' was in full swing, and Neo was far ahead in points because he often played in the matrix world.

It wasn't that they were neglecting their duties, that they were heartless and couldn't distinguish priorities, but that the speed of the floating boat was so fast that the squid couldn't even catch up with it.

As for finding a large number of squids blocking the road and re-planning the route, they also worked hard, but Russell didn't listen at all, and just took a short cut, ignoring how many squids lay ahead.

After Russell's painstaking redesign, the Nebuchadnezzar not only upgraded the fire control system, which greatly improved the defensive firepower, but also added two new black technology weapons as the main artillery.

Dark Matter Cannon!

Electromagnetic gun!

For example, tens of thousands of squids blocked the road in front of them, and the black squids cast a huge net to cover the sky. Russell, who was in the driver's seat, activated the main weapon at the front of the spaceship.

The specific situation is as follows. He opened the window next to the driver's seat, stretched out his hand, and released the dark energy bat and the silver-white giant wolf that was materialized by Thunder.

The effect is outstanding. Under the black technology carefully developed by Russell, the mechanical squid was defeated and beaten to death.

Cuttlefish: Quantity is everything!

Russell: Truth is within the range of the cannon, and the caliber is justice!

Obviously, the science and technology of machine civilization cannot compare with Russell's black technology, so his productivity is stronger, boiling water is fast and energy-saving, which determines that there is no suspense in this assault battle.

After four hours of sailing, they broke through the sixteen blockades of mechanical squids and wiped out more than 20 squids in total. They finally left the underground world and entered the canyon crack close to the surface.

Further upwards is the area ruled by machine civilization. Russell reduced the speed of sailing and gave the crew a 15-minute rest time.

Murphys: No, in another 15 minutes, Neo's points will be higher than all of them combined.

Chapter 9 From The Matrix to Ready Player One

In the bottomless gully, covered by mist, you can't see your fingers.

Two groups of shadows floated from it, and an arc flashed on the side close to the cliff. The Nebuchadnezzar and the Icarus quietly lurked one after the other, passed through the big crack in the canyon, and walked to the edge of the power plant.

This is not Russell's style. He is a mage who is good at confrontation, but not good at lurking assassination.

Moreover, even for assassins, there are very few honest people who sneak around and play lurking these days.

Outdated assassination technology has been ruthlessly eliminated by the times. All real assassins know that lurking is to kill everyone who sees him

No, a real assassin will kill everyone he sees.

A large number of precious historical documents show that honest people who were dressed in black and lurking were basically captured on the spot, and their fate was miserable.

That is to say, the two floating ships have important missions, and their roles cannot be replaced. Otherwise, Russell would have soared into the sky and resorted to his best tactics.

The mist is hazy, the surface does not see sunlight all year round, the temperature is frighteningly low, and it is hard to say what the composition of the fog is.

Close to the power plant, you can see countless metal towers standing under the night from a distance. On the huge cylinder, azure blue arcs wander from time to time, but they maintain a certain set pattern.

In front of the power plant, there are rows of fruit trees planted and cultivated by robots. The red fruits are full of vitality, and each one is wrapped with human embryonic larvae.

When the humans in the cultivation warehouse of the power plant die, the robots in charge of cultivation will collect ripe fruits and replace them with newborn babies.

The dead body is melted into a nutrient solution, realizing the cycle of life in another mode.

During this period, it will inevitably cause energy loss, and it is unrealistic to support people by people. Even the machines need to replenish a large amount of energy to maintain the long-term effective normal operation of the power plant.

This is why Russell believes that human beings are not batteries. Energy conversion is getting worse and worse. Counting on human bioelectricity, machines will become extinct tomorrow.

"There are not many squids near the power plant, and the two spaceships are armed enough for defense. I will leave the Death Knell Armor to help you protect the power plant."

Russell said and looked at Neo: "Seeing that the cable is no longer transmitting current, immediately enter the matrix matrix, where there are enemies waiting for you. Remember, you can only enter by yourself, and others will only become hostages. It will not help ,Understand?"

Neo nodded silently, his future was bleak, and the god of death holding a sickle was beckoning, but he had no choice, and he knew he was going to die but he had to fight.

responsibility?

The savior is the program set by the machine, so there is no responsibility at all, Neo only knows that no one can stand up except him at this time.

He didn't refuse, but accepted the reason calmly. He couldn't explain it. Even he himself was a little surprised. He obviously always wanted to dawdle

On the side, Trinity looked at Neo with a frown, was silent for three seconds, grabbed his shoulder, and dragged him into the private room involuntarily.

It may be doing ideological work!

Russell curled his lips slightly, he was going to the Mechanic City soon, why no one came to do ideological work for him.

Just thinking about it, Murphys' big black and rough face appeared in front of his eyes, grinning, super white.

"what are you doing?"

"Mr. Russell, I still think the plan is too risky. How about letting the Icarus go to Mechanic City with you?"

Murphys implied that Russell needed a cannon fodder to attract firepower, and they were ready to sacrifice at any time.
