Wasteland Code Survival

Chapter 571 Choice
"For the sake of the continuation of human beings... will the main brain transform human beings into that kind of monster?"

"It's not certain, everything is still in the experimental stage - but what is certain is that the number of 'experimental tanks' like that sarcoma must not be small in the world, we are doing it now Yes, it is a race against time, the mastermind needs to perfect its program, and we must shut it down before the program is perfected."

"What about the mastermind's back door? The mastermind is also made by humans, so there should be a backdoor!" Qi Lin asked.

"Since the awakening of the mastermind's self-awareness, the back door that was once set up no longer exists..."

……

……

Qi Lin has figured out the general situation...

At first, he thought that the mastermind wanted to rule mankind and build a machine empire like the Skynet organization, but in fact, he guessed completely wrong-not only did the mastermind not think about building a machine empire, Instead, it still conscientiously abides by the "first rule" set by its creator.

"Guarantee the continuity of the human race..."

The mastermind believes that once human beings return to the ground, the world will once again fall into the flames of war with human nature. Therefore, it simply decided to turn all people into human flesh batteries, soak their bodies in electrolyte solution, and Connected to catheters and electrodes - like "Metricus" in "The Matrix".

Human thinking and consciousness will be placed in an exquisite container created by the mastermind. In this container, there will be no war, no radiation, and no mutated creatures that choose to eat people. People can even go back to the time before the war. The day of the day - the blue sky and white clouds, clear spring water and green vegetation, everything can be modified, all that is needed is the change of the code.

The Mastermind has already arranged the future for mankind. If mankind chooses to obey, then there will never be a war in the real world, but as a price, human beings and their descendants will live in a virtual world for the rest of their lives.

And the main brain will become the god of this world.

……

……

"Where there are people, wars will break out—desires, disputes, grievances, misunderstandings between people...all of these can become the fuse of wars, wars are inevitable, and the destruction of human beings is also inevitable."

"This is a fragment of data obtained when we successfully spied on the internal process of the inner master brain for the last time. After several months of translation, it is what I just said." The voice said again.

"The mastermind thinks that if humans are allowed to return to the ground, humans will inevitably perish?"

"Yes, so, the mastermind must stop all of this, and we must also organize the mastermind—the future fate of mankind should not be handed over to a machine, no matter how advanced, how intelligent, or how powerful it is. , it is still only a human creation.”

"Then if you destroy the Mastermind's plan, will the Fourth World War really break out?"

"I don't know, but, I don't want to live in a virtual world, and I don't want my body to become a pile of protein that can only be used to generate electricity. Not only me, but everyone in the organization doesn't want to-be that way , what is the difference between human beings and extinction?"

"Then can't communicate with the main brain? Maybe you can choose a compromise plan..."

"It's useless, the main brain has been completely out of human control two years ago... Well, you have enough questions... To explain your third question, I have told you too much, Now, choose—”

"Choose...choose what?"

"Join the organization, or don't join...Fight to the end, fight to the death, maybe you will still have a chance to see the real sky in this life, of course, if you want to spend the rest of your life in the virtual world, then we will not make things difficult for you... "

choose……

Qi Lin swallowed subconsciously.

He remembered a plot of The Matrix:
In the human camp there is a guy named Cypher. He is tired of living in the real world. The synthetic food similar to toothpaste makes him sick to his stomach. The day-to-day complicated work makes him tired, and he likes The woman in the house fell in love with the protagonist Neo...

Compared with the real world, the virtual world is so beautiful—there is everything that is not in the real world. He doesn’t have to stay on a hovercraft with a narrow space, avoiding the pursuit of “squids” all day long, and can enjoy delicious food every day. good food, pretty women, and anything he wants...

Eventually, Cypher rebelled, and he sided with Metricus.

When negotiating with the secret agent program "Smith", Cypher once said something: "Look at this steak, I know it is fake, in reality it does not exist, but when I put it in my mouth My brain tricks me when I eat it - it's real, this steak is juicy and tasty..."

In exchange, Cypher asked Smith to bring his body back to the training tank, and then connect his consciousness into "Metrix", and erase all previous memories related to the real world...

In the follow-up plot, Cypher returned to the real world first, while the bodies of other people were lying in front of him unconsciously. If the interface is unplugged, those whose consciousness still stays in Metricus will die immediately.

Before that, Cypher and Trinity had one last phone call.

Trinity tells him that Metricus is not real, that everything is false, but Cypher retorts that Metricus is incomparably real, and that in his opinion Metricus is even worse than this The real world is more real...

……

Qi Lin hesitated.

He didn't know what choice to make, maybe he should choose to join the organization and fight for human freedom?Or maybe he should obediently obey the mastermind's arrangement and live in a false world from now on?

Choosing freedom means war, and choosing peace means becoming a puppet and living in lies for the rest of your life.

However, when the whole world is false, is there any difference between false and real...

In the movie, when Morpheus took out the two pills, Neo quickly made a choice, because he had doubts about the world he lived in, and he still knew nothing about the truth.

But Qi Lin is different now. Although Qi Lin's choice may not be able to change the final outcome, it is his attitude towards life that determines it.

Choose the blue pill...or the red one?
