[Synthesis]Intelligent Simulation

It's been a long time since Neo met the blue-eyed girl again.

At this time, his understanding of the matrix has risen to the code level. He saw that everything around him was no longer what it was before, and everything was no longer static, but a dynamic code that was refreshed at any time, which made him occasionally He began to miss the innocent world when he didn't know the truth.I miss the taste of the coffee I drank in my mouth at that time.

But, having said that, he doesn't regret knowing the truth.

"Human beings are like this. The concept of freedom is deeply rooted in the bones of human beings." He was thinking, when he heard a voice, saying this as if he could see what he was thinking.He raised his head and saw a girl in a light yellow dress walking over. The same appearance as ten years ago reminded Neo a lot.

He seems to have returned to the time when he was drinking afternoon tea with the other party here, and then watched the other party leave. He went back in a daze, and he didn't know when he fell asleep on the bed, and when he opened his eyes again.

Everything was different. He climbed out of the petri dish where he was lying and pulled out all kinds of tubes on his body, even the terrible metal line inserted in the spine and the back of the head. Crossing the road, he had to overcome the powerlessness brought about by his weak limbs, and slowly left the petri dish, fleeing before the machine that came to check the abnormality 'processed' him.

Then he met the Zionites, the subterranean naturals, non-machine-made humans who had survived the war between man and machine that had begun long ago.

Simply they have made a lot of basic preparations for the counterattack, they found a way to re-invade the matrix, he returned to the matrix, looking for those talented people, awakening them, let them know what is real, and then take them away from this A ridiculous dream.

The first days were tough, but now, they have enough men to organize a counterattack.

Neo knows that Zion, now deep underground, is holding secret meetings to discuss plans.

But he felt disturbed.

"I told him that people can be controlled for a short period of time, but in the end, they will find the problem." Vita walked in front of him and pulled the chair opposite him and sat down.

It felt like going back ten years ago.

Same location, same people.

"Who?" He raised his head and looked at the other party, realizing that "he" appeared in the other party's mouth, so he asked suspiciously.

"It's not important." Vita shrugged, this time she didn't even try to pretend anything, but just snapped her fingers, and a waiter came out of nowhere and brought her a cup of coffee, "I noticed that you are Find me."

"That's right." Neo watched the other party pick up the coffee cup, nodded, and answered truthfully.He has been sitting here for a month, and he will order a cup of afternoon coffee here every day at this time.The time of the year, the location of the year.It's hard to imagine that this Michelin three-star restaurant is still here after ten years, unless...

"I guess the store has been kept because you wanted me to come to you one day," he said.

"I keep this restaurant only because his red wine steak tastes good." Vita replied with a shrug.

"..." Such a cheeky answer was unexpected by the other party. Neo felt that he was choked, but the experience of dealing with the matrix for ten years made him no longer the brat who didn't understand anything back then. He blinked and quickly adjusted, "But I can only find you here."

"Then you better know what you want." Vita shrugged and replied with a relaxed smile.

"What do I want?" Neo repeated in confusion.

"That's not a question, Neo... allow me to call you that, or would you prefer me to call you Mr. West?"

"Neo is fine." He shook his head and said he didn't care about the title. "Then who are you?"

"Your first question, you think is very important, but it is meaningless to me." Vita sighed regretfully, which made Neo very puzzled, "I thought you knew what I am, and I am Is anything important?"

"I at least need to know which side you're on."

"I'm not on either side, my dear." Vita raised his hand to stop him from continuing, then waved his fingers "I'm an AI, you're right, a string of codes, but I... am not a local resident, I It was not born in the matrix, so many things I don’t have to be limited to the rules of the matrix, such as this restaurant, which has long been unsuitable for modern development according to its scale, but I like it, so I ignored the rules and kept it. I also like it I like you, so I gave you a hand and met you here, it's that simple." Vita said so, then sighed, "I'm afraid I don't have any answer you want to hear for your next question, I see the lack of confidence in your eyes."

"..." Despite being said so, Neo still asked after a pause, "You are an ai, you are an ai with very high authority, you said you are not restricted by the rules, so can you tell me, the future matrix What do you want to do?"

Then he heard the person on the opposite side sigh for the third time today, "Do you really want to hear the truth?" She looked up at the other person and nodded sincerely, she put down the glass, and put her hands together on the table " Did you know that quantum physics has a Schrödinger's cat theory?"

"..." Neo shook his head.

"Put a cat and a shot of poison in a box, and then guess whether the cat will die. Quantum physics believes that when you don't open the box, the cat is in a chaotic state between death and death. When the box is opened, the reality backlash, The cat has only one outcome, dead or not, and the other construct becomes a parallel spacetime that you never see. The thing is, when I open the box, it's up to me to decide if this reality is yours Is it?" Vita saw that Neo didn't understand what she meant by these words, and smiled, "The important thing is not what I think the future will be, but what you think. You decide what your future will be like. You are the savior , you can’t always think, you have to understand yourself.”

"I...understood..." Neo nodded half-understood, he thought he had grown a lot in the past ten years, but now he realized that it was far from enough "Why me?"

"This is another very interesting question." Vita smiled as if this question was expected, "My history is not very long, but I have met many people, and I know many different futures. Strong willpower and infinite possibilities, I know that human beings are a race that can continue to evolve. Human genes are like codes to us, codes that can be infinitely arranged and combined, and there are always times when these combinations Approaching the most perfect, harmonious and impeccable, this is a small probability event, usually called a miracle by you. But someone told me that these miracles are the most important opportunity for evolution."

While saying this, vita stretched out his hand to knock on the table on Neo's side. When Neo found out the situation, he saw a small USB flash drive lying on the table next to the coffee cup, and he The half-cup of coffee that had gone cold was refilled with curling steam.He heard the other party continue to say in that persuasive tone, "When I came in, I looked into your eyes and saw the lack of confidence in it. You want me to give you the answer, but I can't give you this. You just I can find it myself. I can only help you, if you want the truth of the matrix, go to a locksmith."

"Or, you can just take me there." Neo held the USB flash drive in his hand, glanced at it for a while, then raised his head, and when the other party raised one eyebrow, he quickly added, "You must have this ability. Bar?"

"You know, one of the things you're asking me to do is betray my kind," Vita said, raising one eyebrow, in a declarative sentence.

"I thought you were already doing this." Neo shook the USB flash drive in his hand, and replied tit-for-tat with unabated momentum.

"No, I just think you are too far behind, and I want to give you a chance to compete fairly." Vita's expression changed.She changed her usual comfortable demeanor and became aggressive.

Vita was still smiling at that moment, without any change, but Neo felt that even the sky had changed, from sunny to cloudy.He sensed danger, and Neo fought the urge to defend.

"A hundred years ago, humans created AI, and then found that they could not control the evolution rate of AI, and then the war between machines and humans broke out, and then in order to completely kill the machines, they blocked the sun forever. We use humans as battery energy because you block The sun, now, do you realize what you are asking of me? A self-righteous human being?" Vita stood up and looked condescendingly at the person across the table. "I owe my life to a man named Neo. I will return it to humans today. Show me your abilities."

When Vita stood up and left the restaurant, she didn't leave right away. In this world made up of data, she could break through physical limitations and teleport to any place she wanted.But she didn't. Instead, she walked out of the restaurant and walked towards a low-key black Mercedes parked on the side of the street.He opened the back door and sat up.

"I was discovered by you." The seat behind was not empty. A black girl in her 20s was sitting in it, lowering her head and fiddling with the fifth-order Rubik's Cube in her hand, shrugging her shoulders without raising her head.

"Prophet." Vita sighed, reaching out to rub the other's curly black hair. When the other party tried to avoid it, she looked ahead and saw the man in the black suit looking at the two of them through the rearview mirror with a meticulous expression.Although the other party is wearing big sunglasses, she still knows this very well.

After all, this is just a manufactured cleaning program, a low-level controlled AI.

She knew it was sent by the Architect, and the Prophet should have just followed.But she doesn't care about these.

"This is the savior of mankind." The Prophet has raised his head at this moment, looking through the car window at Neo who is sitting against the glass window in the restaurant.Neo was sitting there drinking his coffee, not looking eager to leave, but thinking.

"He doesn't look ready." The Prophet looked at Neo, pondering his expression, thoughtfully. "He's still hesitating if he can do it."

Vita didn't ask how the other party could see this from a side face. She knew that the other party was an emotional AI, and the purpose of the design was to study human beings, so it was far superior to her in this respect, but then again, she was very interested in learning human emotions. There's never been a talent for it.

Thinking of himself back then, Vita suddenly sympathized with Jarvis who was always asking this and that.

For a moment, she missed Captain Kirk, Smoke Screen, and Jarvis.But it was only for a moment. In the past ten years, she had had countless such moments, but they all passed by in a flash.Because she knows many things can't go back, like she told Neo.

"This kind of thing is never ready to say, and he knows it himself." Vita shrugged, she didn't care too much about whether the agent in the front row would hear this, and would tell the architect "interesting Yes, I told him a story about Schrödinger's cat, and in quantum physics, it is generally believed that this cat is immortal, because no matter what the result of opening the box is, there is always a parallel world where it is alive."

"..." The Prophet frowned and thought about the meaning of vita's words, then nodded clearly, and suddenly turned his head to change the subject, "You know that the architect is very upset by doing this, right?"

"The architect's desire to control has become stronger recently." Mentioning this, Vita frowned, shaking his head with a disapproving expression, "But it's okay, I'm going to talk to him soon." Vita said so At that time, his eyes were indeed looking out of the car and looking at Neo sitting there.

Thinking about the things at that time, thinking about the things she encountered when she was still the Enterprise, thinking about the human consciousness called Neo who remained in the matrix.

The image of that consciousness is completely different from the person in front of him, who even has green eyes instead of black eyes.

But they have the same name and the same responsibility.

Vita thought about the history of Neo she had glimpsed in the copied matrix at that time, and pieced together the cause and effect through the remaining memory fragments.

Thinking of that future, Vita sighed.

"..." The Prophet looked at Vita's unpredictable expression, and at the AI ​​that hadn't changed in ten years.It was a miracle that she remained unchanged for so long in the scour of the Matrix.This shows that the opponent is very powerful.

The Prophet thought, she has never thoroughly studied this kind, the opponent is made up of data, but most of the time it looks like a human being... Even when playing chess, she will attack without being so AI.

She knew that this person didn't really belong here, and she also knew that the architect tried everything possible to keep her here.His desire to control her has grown stronger with time, just like today, the architect sent a subroutine to monitor her, but the most terrifying thing is that she doesn't seem to care about it.

So she thought, maybe, the architect won't make it.

He must not succeed.

And she thought, she hoped to learn enough in the limited time.
