Chapter 25
"No, it's a big problem!"
Even with Lao Wang's usual calmness and calmness, he would still feel incredible at this moment.
"If I heard correctly, you mean to ask me to pay for the supplies needed for the entire earth?" He tried to calculate, but it was impossible because he couldn't calculate it!
"Well, well, you heard it right, that's it!" The girl's host didn't understand her face and nodded happily. "Oh, I've always heard that gentlemen of the Freelancers are very poor and will do anything for money.
, and I’m still a little scared. I didn’t expect to meet a rich Mr. Lancer, it’s really great, it must be the God King who is blessing me!”
"I think you may have been deceived by the God King." Wang Hu said weakly, "No, in fact, your news is absolutely correct. The Lancers are all very poor, especially me. I have millions in debt."
Wang Hu pointed to the door, "Just leave, I can't help you, really."
"Ah? But why? You said you were very rich just now...are you afraid that I won't be able to pay you? Don't worry, I will give you all the things I have accumulated over the years, and you will definitely be satisfied!"
The girl host tried her best to persuade.
Wang Hu was slightly moved when he heard the blank check, which showed that he was becoming a qualified mercenary.
"Are there any battleships?"
A battleship is worth hundreds of millions of stars. If it can be exchanged, then go for it...
"Yes!" The girl host was very happy when she heard the offer, and she patted her barren chest confidently.
Wang Hu was about to be happy when he heard her continue. "The Washington! It has been thrown in the port. I think the United States no longer wants it. I will give it to you!"
How generous!
How brave!
He must have been moved by me, right?
God damn Washington... Wang Hu looked at the girl host silently, are you sure you're not kidding me?
The girl looked back at him innocently.
"How about adding another USS Enterprise aircraft carrier?" Looking at the unkind eyes, the girl host said timidly. "Ah, Mr. Lancer is Chinese, or do you prefer the Liaoning?"
I was very confused, "The Liaoning is not easy to get."
"...You," Wang Hu pointed in the direction of the door, "get out of here before I get angry!"
The girl host did not leave, she stood there at a loss, tears began to roll down in large drops.
Lao Wang's heart softened immediately, "Let's think of other ways while there is still time." Wang Hu turned his head away and continued to explain.
"It's not a question of millions, but tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of stars... But I'm just a mercenary. Not to mention losing money, I can't afford it even if I sell myself."
Wang Hu knew from the beginning that not all questions had answers.
As a mercenary, he can only solve some small problems, and at most medium problems.
The world's problems in Edge of Tomorrow are all solved by coincidence. The menacing army of "mimics" has a weakness that kills them with one hit. In other words, we assume that aliens do not have the weakness of Omega Meow and are just ordinary "mimics"
The army is pushing forward, and the number is tens of millions and hundreds of millions. So what else can Wang Hu do?
No, thrown on the battlefield, he has the fighting power of an elite captain. He kills hundreds or even thousands of "mimics" and then is killed by the "mimics". This is the ending.
Not all disasters can be saved...even Hollywood movies understand this.
In "The End of the World", the director even sent oil workers to drill holes in meteorites to plant bombs; in "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012", the hero was powerless when faced with a global freeze and a world-destroying flood. He could not save the world but could only save his family.
"But there is no time..." the girl host said with tears in her eyes.
*****
The problems encountered by girl hosts can be said to be the simplest, or the most difficult.
What her earth experienced was "The Matrix", in which the host did not play any role. She was neither a savior nor a prophet, not the final program and not the Matrix AI.
She is the host, a bystander and a guide.
The characteristic of Mengxin is that she is serious and meticulous and never messes around. The girl host did not make any mistakes in this process.
Under her witness, artificial intelligence and humans went from conflict to compromise to integration, and everything was perfect. In the end, AI did not try to exterminate humans, and humans gained the ability to go into space.
However, at this time, there was trouble outside.
The Empire of Dawn split into hundreds of affiliated countries overnight, and those who ran to the middle to guide them were the remnants of the empire, but at the end they were picked off by an Earthling. The new Earthling who came to power was a cruel tyrant, turning the earth into a filthy and rotten place.
Take that set with you into space!
In this case, except for the helpless Liao Qing, other hosts in the middle zone were advised to "temporarily lurk" and wait and see for a while.
If you join now, the bad thing is that you will be sending slaves to your door; even if it is not that bad, once the technological system is polluted and the ceiling is reached, there will be no future for mankind.
There is nothing we can do about the girl console. The Matrix trilogy is over... How about we have another sequel?
Anyway, just continue the whole work, create conflicts, and then humans and machines will fight fiercely, destroying the world in the virtual world, but only a few people will die in the real world...
But we all know that the setting of "The Matrix" itself is problematic. Humans cannot be used as living batteries, and machines cannot survive on human beings' bioelectricity!
This thing is as unreliable as a zombie generator.
From the beginning, the so-called perfect cycle did not hold.
The fact that humans can survive to this day depends on the careful calculation of Matrix AI.
Human beings lie in the training cabin and their thoughts live in the virtual world. The biggest purpose is to reduce consumption.
In order to maintain the operation of the Matrix and the increasingly huge material needs, the Matrix has been working hard to tap the earth's fossil energy and the underground mushroom industry. However, even this is almost unsustainable, because the fossil resources are about to be exhausted.
Without energy, everything is gone.
The scary thing is that the number of people lying in machines has exceeded 10 billion.
The Matrix AI was so tired that it wanted to give up. It told the girl host, either give me energy or I will release everyone!
If I can survive 100 million, I lose!
…
"Everyone has worked hard, and it's no one's fault. Why do we have to pay for a tyrant in the end? I don't want this! I don't want to reset the world! I don't want my people to succumb to the tyrant!"
"You are my last hope. Please, Mr. Lancer, please help me once..."
After making the accusation, the host girl bowed deeply to Wang Hu’s back.
An Earth host bows to humanity.
"Stop! You are the host of the earth..." Wang Hu had no choice but to stop her from doing this. Looking at the strong character of Liao Lan and Liao Qing, you are completely unqualified for doing this.
Wang Hu doesn't want to bend to anyone, nor does he want anyone to bend to him.
The main thing is that although the principle of the Free Lancers is "Don't do unnecessary things," he actually wants to help. "Okay, let me try...to completely solve the impossible problem and help you maintain it for a while at most.
, you should hurry up and think of other ways."
Wang Hu’s “helpless” compromise.
"Thank you! Thank you!" The female host bowed again, "Don't worry, Mr. Lancer, as long as you help, the reward will definitely not be small. I will do my best! I will definitely help you get the Liaoning!"
"No... don't."
"If it doesn't work out, why don't you consider joining? In fact, joining temporarily is not a bad idea. Now that the old and new empires are at war, we don't know what it will be like in the future. Maybe it will be better."
Wang Hu felt that considering the short life of human beings, it would be better to live than to die.
No future is better than no present. Only by living can you wait for a turnaround.
But the girl host just smiled and shook her head without explaining. Wang Hu saw enlightenment in her eyes.
At this point, the host has more say.
In the future she sees in her eyes, if the Matrix world joins the middle zone at this stage, it will turn the entire middle zone into slaves of AI, not tyrants, but slaves of AI.
The probability is as high as nearly 100%!
And that AI is not the Matrix AI on Earth and cannot communicate.
She didn't know exactly what happened, but in order to prevent that terrible future from becoming a reality, she would never let the earth go into space at this time.
If that doesn't work, the girl host will restart the world instead of watching the cycle collapse and countless people die in misery. If someone needs to bear the guilt, she hopes that person is herself.
Xi Ran watched all this with a smile. The essence of this man has never changed.
Chapter completed!
