  • After Geoffrey had obtained wheat seeds, he convinced Zion to produce wheat on the surface. They found a location where working power lines still stood, far away from the cities that the Machines had taken over, and began to set up ultraviolet (UV) lights. These UV lights, which drew energy from the power lines, allowed the wheat to grow and were protected from the rain by tents that they had put up. Geoffrey's plan had been a success, growing the wheat on the fields and transfering it back to Zion where it was made into bread for the other members of the Resistance to eat.

abstract
  • After Geoffrey had obtained wheat seeds, he convinced Zion to produce wheat on the surface. They found a location where working power lines still stood, far away from the cities that the Machines had taken over, and began to set up ultraviolet (UV) lights. These UV lights, which drew energy from the power lines, allowed the wheat to grow and were protected from the rain by tents that they had put up. Geoffrey's plan had been a success, growing the wheat on the fields and transfering it back to Zion where it was made into bread for the other members of the Resistance to eat. The operation slowly expanded and the skill of both farmers and bakers improved. While the trips to the surface still proved dangerous and problems did occur, they remained undetected by the Machines for years, mostly due to the fact that they were using a relatively small amount of power compared to what the Machines used. Eventually, however, the Machines found out about the wheat fields and moved into attack.
