Although Nebuchadnezzar was completely damaged, everyone present was a master of craftsmanship as big as Iron Man per capita, so it was reasonable to repair it by hand.

Chen Changsheng even used the mechanical bodies of several paralyzed octopuses to forcibly add several multi-purpose robotic arms to Nebuchadnezzar.

Morpheus also expressed his approval. It seems that he likes the design of Chen Changsheng very much. In fact, Chen Changsheng has always been puzzled by one thing, that is, Hovercraft has no other weapons except electromagnetic pulse bombs, which makes Chen Changsheng feel very outrageous.

It is true that you are a rebel, but it is a bit false that you are a rebel without weapons. Logically speaking, even if you are a guerrilla, you should make some home-made bombs!

When Chen Daosheng expressed his doubts, Morpheus gave Chen Changsheng the reason why they were not equipped with weapons.

It turns out that Zion has limited resources, and every resource has been used in construction. Hovercraft even needs to go out to pick up garbage among the urban ruins on the ground and bring it back.

More importantly, Hovercraft has limited space and can carry limited energy. If the weight of Hovercraft is increased, it will only double the energy consumption, which will greatly affect the speed of Hovercraft.

Therefore, most of the time Hovercraft relies on hiding and speed to avoid octopus attacks, rather than relying on weapons to defeat the enemy.

In fact, Morpheus brought the mechanical octopus back to Zion with the idea of bringing something back. After all, hundreds of thousands of people in Zion depended on these Hovercraft who went out, so it would be outrageous to bring nothing back.

This makes Chen Changsheng feel a little weird. Chen Changsheng feels that he is about to enter a world of scavengers.

When I took the Nebuchadnezzar back to Zion, I saw a city that was different from what Chen Changsheng had imagined...

The huge underground city is like a skyscraper, except that this building develops downward.

From the Zion entrance, you can't see the bottom extension when you look down. A giant pillar runs through the whole city. This is the Zion energy and material transportation channel, and it is also the traffic lifeline channel of the entire Zion.

Following Morpheus, the first time he stepped into Zion, Chen Changsheng felt the fireworks of the human world. On the first day, Chen Changsheng was sure that this was the real human world.

Because only intelligent creatures like humans will fight among themselves no matter when, where, or under what circumstances...

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This is true, even if there are only 250,000 human beings left. In the face of this kind of crisis of genocide and genocide, it does not affect the internal strife of human beings at all. This is true humanity!

Although Zion is a small city, the world here is not small. The only 250,000 people are divided into two major factions. The first type is the native and naturally born human beings. These are at most the cornerstones of Zion City. They are responsible for the most basic construction tasks and belong to the staunch redemption faction. I want to resist the rule of machines, liberate the Matrix world, and liberate all mankind.

Another major faction is composed of those rescued humans in the Matrix world. Their number is smaller, and the humans rescued every year in the world of the Matrix all belong to this faction.

Those who can awaken in the world of the Matrix are people with keen observation and extreme intelligence. They may have certain specialties or be extremely determined. In short, although they are few in number, they have a great say.

The two major factions are divided into several small factions. Just like among humans, some people want to gain greater power, while some people just want to be rice bugs. The humans who escaped from the world of the Matrix are also divided into two factions. One group is the savior group with firm will and determination to save mankind; the other group is Cypher who were rescued but cannot accept the cruel reality. They think about returning to the Matrix world all the time. But once you enter the arena, you can't help yourself. Once you've entered a den of thieves, it's difficult to escape. These people want to return to the Matrix world, but this requires the system to be willing to forgive them.

Among the major forces, many speculators were born, fighting for power and profit in the small Zion city, causing trouble in the city.

As the savior, Chen Changsheng became the point of conflict when this conflict broke out. In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is Chen Changsheng or not, conflicts between humans will always break out, right?

As the core competitiveness of Savior Faction, whether Chen Changsheng admits it or not, he is the focus of everyone's attention. There are some things that you will not participate in if you don't participate.

Chen Changsheng has no interest in participating in the fight among the humans in Zion city. Just kidding, Zion is a small city with only 250,000 people, which is not as many people as a gang. Who is interested in participating in your struggle for power?

However, Chen Changsheng still underestimated his influence among these people. Under the shadow of doomsday, Chen Changsheng had already been built into a spiritual belief by the redemption faction and became a part of the daily life of these survivors...

People who broke out of the Matrix world have strong wills and naturally have no feeling for this kind of religion. They have received systematic education, have their own perfect outlook on life and values, and can also instill knowledge through the interface in their heads, so they do not believe in such things. However, they don't believe it, but they can't stop the vast majority of ordinary Zion people from believing it. This is also a fact.

After arriving in Zion city, Chen Changsheng spent the whole day in Zion's black market. As a Zion city that implements rationing management, the black market is of course indispensable. The management class of Zion turns a blind eye to the black market, and they probably have the idea that it is better to block it than to open it up.

As the savior, the arrival of Chen Changsheng has spread to everyone in a short period of time, and everyone even knows what Chen Changsheng looks like. This is also the reason why Chen Changsheng was able to get enough supplies for free on the black market and rub Hovercraft with his hands. In Chen Changsheng's opinion, the black market is still small. When the business here can reach the Matrix world, that will be the real black market.

The entire Zion underground city is really full of talents. With the technology that can instill memories, those who escaped from the world of the Matrix are simply born workers.

With a complete manufacturing team, the floating spacecraft designed by Chen Changsheng was quickly manufactured. However, it is not appropriate to call this big ship Hovercraft. Rather than calling it Hovercraft, Chen Changsheng would rather call it a floating ship or a gunboat.

The design of Hovercraft still uses the electromagnetic levitation principle, but the difference is that Chen Changsheng adds some other designs. Chen Changsheng has long noticed that the Hovercraft energy output of Zion is entirely powered by a rechargeable battery, which is not very reliable.
