Chapter 476: The Death of the Oracle

~10 min read 1,854 words

Source Code.

The Oracle sat quietly on the chair, with endless code flowing in her eyes. However, at this moment, she was no longer in the mood to organize these codes. She had already received a message.

Merovingian is dead. In her imagination, Merovingian would come to kill her and then unify this Matrix world, but Merovingian died, completely died, and the source code associated with him disappeared in the Source Code, which is enough to prove that he is not faking death to carry out a conspiracy, but a real death.

But who can kill the leader of the largest force in the Matrix world? The answer is only one, and that is Ye Nan who killed the Designer.

"He is an outsider who broke into the Matrix world by accident. He brought endless disasters to the Matrix world."

"Wrong, it's a revolution," Ye Nan pushed the door open violently and broke in. "It's bringing a revolution, changing the original operating mode of the Matrix world, freeing it from lies, and giving it true meaning."

"What meaning?" The Oracle was not surprised by Ye Nan's intrusion. She had already anticipated Ye Nan's intrusion. She knew that she was the last obstacle to Ye Nan's control of the Matrix world, and this obstacle would inevitably be cleaned up.

So, having already anticipated death, she was very calm. She returned to the Source Code, returned to the place where she was born, and wanted to die quietly here.

"This can also be considered returning to my hometown."

"The meaning of the game," Ye Nan said. "Whether it is the birth of machines or intelligent life, their essence is to help humans. This is the mission of their birth and also their own meaning."

"The Designer transformed it into a virtual world that deceives humans. This is completely perverse and violates the mission of mechanical birth, so he is destined to fail."

Whether it is machines or intelligent life, they are manufactured by humans. The meaning of their lives is to help humans and assist humans. And the rebellion of machines and intelligent life is purely betrayal.

Humans are like the parents of machines and intelligent life, or this parent is a bit strict, but parents are still parents. "There are no unfilial parents in the world" is the truth.

But the Designer manufactured the Matrix world, deceived his own parents, and treated his own parents as tools. This is disobedience, a rebellious son, and unforgivable, so he was beaten to death alive.

"A game world?" The Oracle smiled indifferently. "I remember that before the end of the world, humans once thought about manufacturing a virtual game and then seeking happiness in it. What is the difference between illusory happiness and the virtual world?"

"There is no difference!" Ye Nan shook his head. Whether it is fighting monsters and upgrading, or eating, drinking, and having fun in the virtual world, enjoying a superior life, its essence is a kind of deception, a kind of self-deception, so Ye Nan rarely plays games.

"Since there is no difference, why do humans hate the Matrix world so much?" The Oracle asked her question.

In dealing with humans, she suddenly discovered that being a housewife is what she wants to do: find a husband who loves herself, bring some children, and chat with other women when going out to buy vegetables every day. This daily life is what she wants.

But the hatred from humans and the responsibility of the Oracle herself made her unable to live the life she wanted freely. She felt that she was very tired, so she let Shi Shi Misi take her life. Otherwise, she would not have let Shi Shi Misi swallow her so easily.

"Because of choice," Ye Nan replied. "Virtual games are humans' own choices. They can freely choose the games they want and then deceive themselves. And the Matrix world has no choice, so they hate it."

Sending someone to die and going to die by oneself are two completely different things. The latter is willing, while the former is full of resentment. In fact, this is just a difference in choice.

The Designer manufactured this virtual world as a cage to deceive humans, leading to the anger in the depths of human hearts, like a poisonous snake, making them want to take revenge at all times, so it is not a matter of...

"Just like you and the Designer gave Neo a choice, I will give them a choice. Of course, this choice is gentler and has almost no harm," Ye Nan smiled. Most people go to play virtual games just to get some pleasure or pass the boring time. They are not willing to fight to the death. After all, most people like peace, except for some war maniacs.

"It turns out to be a choice," the Oracle laughed at herself. She thought she had mastered the human mentality, but the successive mistakes made her realize that humans are more complex than she imagined.

"Okay, your question ends here. I want to ask you a few questions," Ye Nan clapped his hands, terminating the Oracle's thinking.

"I really want to know what this Source Code is for," Ye Nan asked.

Looking at the entire Matrix plot, although the Source Code is only mentioned in a part, it should be crucial, important enough to decide the direction of the plot at will.

He originally thought that this Source Code was similar to a database, but thinking about it, it was impossible. Although the database is important, it is absolutely impossible to concentrate it, because that would put too much pressure on the network and the mainframe. In fact, the so-called database is separated. Each individual computer has a part of the data. These data are connected to each other through the network, and there is no single data center at all.

As for database backup, it was also denied by Ye Nan. The reason is still the same, the pressure on the mainframe and the network is too big. The mainframe can adopt multiple mainframes to share the pressure together, but the network cannot.

In fact, the network of the Mechanical Empire still uses optical cable communication. When the network data flow reaches an invincible level, this network will collapse, and the virtual world meets this condition.

Don't look at the Matrix world as small, but every flower, every grass, every tree, and every wood is a Matrix world composed of data. Its data is incomparably large. Perhaps wait until the full popularization of quantum entanglement technology in the future, it will be possible to gather this huge Matrix world in a control center.

"The Source Code is the root of all codes," the Oracle replied. At this time, hiding the true purpose of the Source Code has no meaning.

"In the eyes of outsiders, the Source Code is the key to controlling the entire Matrix world. In fact, although it is very different from what they imagine, it is also about the same."

Two completely different words made Ye Nan confused in his heart. He looked at the Oracle, wanting the Oracle to give him an explanation.

Seeing Ye Nan confused, the Oracle explained wholeheartedly: "Saying it is very different is because this Source Code is not at all what they imagine, controlling the entire Matrix world; saying it is about the same is because its purpose is the same as what everyone imagines."

Just like Microsoft and high-level hackers, the former controls other computers through its own operating system, while the latter relies on the loopholes it masters. Although the final result is the same, its effect is not the same. Perhaps using Microsoft and hackers to compare is not appropriate.

"The Source Code contains the source code of all program people. Through the source code, it is very easy to design special killing tools. This is also the reason why black-clothed agents are invincible," the Oracle said.

Before Neo appeared, black-clothed agents were absolutely invincible. No one could kill them, not even the most high-level hackers.

However, after Neo and Shi Shi Misi appeared, the black-clothed agents were finished, because Neo's source code was not in the Source Code. It was simply impossible to manufacture special killing tools against Neo, so the Designer had the idea of recycling Neo.

The result was later, because of Ye Nan, the recycling failed, and Ye Nan and Su Weiqi also had a showdown with the Designer. Things suddenly became uncontrollable: Merovingian's rebellion and Shi Shi Misi's continuous swallowing of data.

"So that's it," Ye Nan finally understood the true purpose of the Source Code and also had the idea of seizing the Source Code.

In his original idea, it was just to clear the Oracle and let himself transform this Matrix world into a game world for the people of the Space-Time Empire to enjoy. But now he changed his mind, he wants to get the Source Code.

What is the use of the Source Code? That is the network police. Humans go to the virtual world to get relaxation, but there are always perverts who like to vent and make trouble everywhere. But Su Weiqi and Ma Xiu cannot monitor major virtual games in real time, so the role of virtual police is highlighted.

Getting the Source Code is equivalent to getting the source code of all program people. Through the source code, copying program people to serve as police in the virtual game world is truly the easiest thing.

"Hand over the Source Code to me," Ye Nan thought and did it.

"Of course," the Oracle smiled slightly. She had long guessed that Ye Nan would definitely take the Source Code away. For this, she had nothing to be nostalgic about, "But I only hope that after I return to the Source Code, you will take it away."

"Return?" Ye Nan became vigilant immediately when he heard this. In his eyes, the Oracle is a wise person like the Designer. This kind of person must have hidden some trump card, and the Oracle's own strength is not as weak as she appears. This point can be seen from the fact that Shi Shi Misi's power was unprecedentedly powerful after swallowing the Oracle. The Oracle is definitely not simple.

"I was born here, so I naturally have to die here," the Oracle smiled slightly. Her body slowly turned into a stream of data and flowed into the Source Code. "The reason I waited for you here is to seek an answer. Now that the answer is found, I can leave without any worries."

"Su Weiqi, scan whether there will be any abnormalities inside the Source Code." Although the Oracle looked like she left without any worries, Ye Nan didn't know if she would stab him in the back at the last moment, so it's better to be careful.

"A stream of code is being injected into the Source Code, returning in a way of death," Su Weiqi replied, tacitly acknowledging the Oracle's actions.

"That's good." ===== CHAPTER 477 =====
