Chapter 0470: Thoughts on the World of The Matrix



Fang Zheng had never thought that he would go out on a date with his little angel during such an aid mission.

But he had to admit that this was indeed a very good way to relax.

Walking along the artificial lake with Nymph, Fang Zheng bought two ice creams and ate them while walking. Looking at the cheerful crowd around him, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

"I never expected that. If I hadn't known about this in advance, I wouldn't have thought that this world was just a virtual world... Um, Nymph, what do you think?"

"well?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the little angel who was licking the ice cream was stunned for a moment, then she spoke with a little hesitation.

"Well... Master, I think this world is actually no different from the world we live in. Well... Of course, in terms of information data, this world is a little rougher..."

"I had forgotten that this is your specialty."

After patting the little angel's head, Fang Zheng realized that his question was a bit stupid. Nymph was an all-purpose angel specializing in electronic warfare. In the real world, she could modify and control the information elements of reality through intrusion. So this world was just like "playing The Sims on a computer in The Sims" to her.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng suddenly began to think about another question.

If this virtual world is just a relatively rough "copy" of the real world for the little angel, then is the real world really the real world? What is reality? Humans use computers to process and inject signals into the brain after various analyses, so that they can feel the real reality even in this virtual world.

Then on the other hand, is what they feel in reality the real reality?

Temperature, taste, touch, all of these can be experienced only through the brain. But is the world we see what we see? For humans, we think the sky is blue, grass is green, and fire is red, but this is only because of the color capacity that our human vision can capture.

Conversely, for dogs, the world only has two colors, black and white. So, which color is the correct one for the world seen by dogs and humans?

For example, when Fang Zheng turns on the Time Dragon mode, he can see the timeline of everyone in front of him and the blurry shadows, which represent their past, present and future. For ordinary beings, they cannot perceive these. But for Fang Zheng, who has transcended time, a person's existence is nothing more than a picture from one end of the river of time to the other.

Then conversely, all of this is not true? The world we live in is nothing more than the result of processing in the brain. The human brain instinctively "filters" information that humans cannot process and understand, and only retains information that they can understand. So, what will happen if the human brain is exposed to information that they cannot understand?

Maybe, the fresh grass in front of you will become full of tentacles like insects, and the people walking towards you will also appear as disgusting rotting meat. The air will be filled with various pungent smells, and even the food in your hands will appear completely different, like the head of an insect blinking countless compound eyes...

So, what is the real world? This question...

It's really meaningless.

Fang Zheng shook his head and threw aside these random thoughts in his mind. The ideas expressed in The Matrix seemed meaningless to him. It seemed to be accusing machines of enslaving humans and the sadness of humans being immersed in falsehood. But hasn't mankind been controlled since its birth? Controlled by the air, controlled by water, controlled by food, unable to fly, and unable to move freely in the deep sea.

Human beings are so fragile that a disaster can easily wipe out their cities and even civilizations. Isn't this a manifestation of human beings being controlled?

So, what is freedom? Is it freedom to deceive yourself into thinking that you are free?

So in Fang Zheng's opinion, this question is totally worthless. The first page of the prophecy mage's learning manual says that when you become a prophecy mage, you must remember one thing: as long as you don't feel the fate, then the fate will not control you.

To put it bluntly, if you don't perceive it, then it doesn't exist.

So in Fang Zheng's opinion, torturing oneself with such questions is purely asking for trouble. Unless one is mentally deficient or extremely bored, who would care about such nonsense?

As for Morpheus and Zion, are they really fighting for freedom? Fang Zheng was very skeptical. After all, judging from the story of The Matrix, the first group of people discovered the "truth" of this world accidentally. Some of them might really want to escape the slavery of the machines, but Fang Zheng didn't believe that everyone thought so. In his opinion, perhaps many of them joined the "anti-matrix" movement just to pull a few more unlucky people!

Think about it carefully. They learned the truth about the world. It sounds great. But then what? Can the truth be eaten? No! They may have lived in a daze in the womb before, but at least they can eat delicious food, even flirt with beautiful girls, and have a bonfire party at the beach. What a comfortable life!

But what about now?

They hid in underground passages like sewer rats, eating disgusting protein like slugs all day long, and had to worry about being caught and killed by the robot octopuses. Even if they returned to the mother body, they had to be trembling with fear, because they had been "banned". If they were discovered by the mother body's agents, they would have no choice but to die!

Think about it carefully, is there really anyone willing to live like this?

History tells us that all revolutions are for a better life and future, but Fang Zheng can't see any future or hope in this group of people. Apart from an illusory "freedom", they have almost no substantial "reward"!

At least if you beat the local tyrants, you can get land. What can freedom do for you? Can it give you land? Can you eat meat? Can you drink milk? Can you pick up girls? Can you have a stable job and a peaceful life?

Besides, what would they gain by defeating the Matrix?

But they have no way to return to the matrix, so based on the idea that they cannot let others have an easy time when they themselves are in trouble, these people will naturally find more scapegoats. When those scapegoats wake up and find that their accounts have been blocked, they will naturally not be content with this, but will look for more scapegoats... To put it bluntly, in Fang Zheng's view, this group of people is of the same nature as a pyramid scheme organization.

No wonder the parent company launched a special crackdown, after all, pyramid schemes are extremely harmful and have left a lasting legacy...

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, withdrew his thoughts, and looked at the little angel next to him.

"Nymph, where are we going next?"

"Well... Master... I... I want to go to the movies."

"oh?"

Fang Zheng was also surprised by Nymph's suggestion, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he had never watched a movie with the little angel. Then again, he didn't know what the quality of movies in this world was like.

"Okay, let's go to the movies."

"call……"

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Nymph's heart finally settled down. She saw the little girl following Fang Zheng, and her mind began to reminisce what Tilia had said to her during the chat.

The process of the date...well, it's to go to the park, watch a movie, go shopping with the master, then go to a high-end restaurant for dinner, and then sleep in a hotel together...the master will be very happy this way!

But...why would the master be happy to sleep together?

Thinking of this, Nymph couldn't help but feel a little confused. Tilia's expression was also very strange at the time, so she couldn't delve into it. However... she just had to do what Tilia said...
