Zi was currently focused on grinding the coffee.
Her black hair drooped down slightly, coincidentally covering half of her dimples. Her snow-white skin and jet-black hair together created an exceptionally distinct contrast. Coupled with her serious and focused expression, she really had a kind of beauty that made one's heart palpitate with eagerness.
Sheyan rested his chin on his hand as he watched Zi's movements. He felt an indescribable delight in his eyes. At this moment, he felt that grinding coffee was probably similar to the tea ceremony. Both of them had an ulterior motive, admiring the smooth and elegant movements of others. He suddenly could not help but want to talk to Zi, so he tried to find something to talk about.
"You've been grinding for so long. It's about time."
Zi turned her head and spoke in a patient tone like she was lecturing a child.
"Whether a cup of coffee tastes good or not, the key lies in the grinding step. Because coffee beans are made up of fine fibrous tissue, during the grinding process, the fibrous tissue will be cut open, releasing the coffee oil and mellow taste at the same time. Therefore, to brew a cup of mellow and delicious coffee, the grinding process is very important. Depending on the type of coffee bean and the quality of the coffee machine, the grinding time is also different. Actually, there's still a long way to go! "
Sheyan was speechless.
"Ugh..."
Zi glanced at him and said indifferently.
"Previously, after you drank the coffee, did you smell a faint sour taste in your mouth? Once instant coffee powder is in contact with the air for too long, it will produce a sour taste. If you don't drink it quickly after it's brewed, it will also produce a sour taste. This is because the coffee and the rich vitamins in the air will oxidize during the contact with the air. Therefore, the best coffee to drink is freshly ground coffee with the best taste. Truly delicious coffee has a lingering fragrance, but only people with patience can drink the best coffee. "
Sheyan had no right to speak in this regard, so he could only nod honestly.
In the end, after a series of complicated processes, Zi rapidly extracted 30 milliliters of strong coffee liquid from the meticulously ground coffee powder under 9 atmospheres of pressure and 90 degrees Celsius steam in a short period of 20 seconds. Finally, she added the pre-prepared fresh milk and it was finally ready to drink.
After Sheyan took a sip, he indeed felt a silky smooth feeling spreading from the surface of his mouth. Because of the rich fragrance, he felt a heartfelt pleasure in his body and mind.
Zi, on the other hand, was full of praise for the almond brownies next to Mr. Dolittle's. She cut them into small cubes and took one bite at a time. The buttery aroma and the sweet taste of chocolate perfectly blended together. Zi's evaluation was that the taste was even better than her VIP private shop in the real world.
But at this moment, the alarm clock next to them rang! Sheyan and Zi's expressions changed at the same time. They rushed out at the same time, because the alarm clock was actually a warning signal, and it was Dolittle!
To be honest, the first thing that came to Sheyan's mind was the sneak attack of those contestants who practiced secret arts. Only their attacks would be so secretive and persistent.
But when Sheyan knocked open Dolittle's door, he discovered that the old man was still sitting on the chair. Seeing this scene, Sheyan suspected that Mr. Dolittle would give a stuttering explanation of "I accidentally touched it" ….
But Dolittle was obviously a person who knew what to do. He frowned and said:
"Out of the eight temporary base stations I set up around here, six of them have sent abnormal signals. The Lulanduo signal has increased by 3 milliamperes. In addition, the Milgaussian index has increased by 7712%. This is very abnormal."
But when Dolittle saw Sheyan's perplexed expression, he sighed and said:
"Well, to put it simply, Skynet has successfully tracked us here through the information we left on the network. In at most two minutes, three space-time nodes will be activated, and the space-time wormhole will open. Three Terminators will come to attack us."
"What!!" Sheyan exclaimed in surprise. It had only been a little more than eight hours since Dolittle released the news. His previous estimate was that it would take more than twenty-four hours. The attack from Skynet was much faster and crazier than Sheyan and the others had imagined!
Dolittle frowned and said:
"Such a fast reaction speed can only mean one thing — the TOK715 Terminator model developed by Skynet has officially been put into use. They will lurk in human society and collect information about human society, so that they can react in time to some variables in human society. "
The TOK715 Terminator model did not appear in the movie plot. It only appeared in "The Terminator Chronicles". It was a Terminator designed mainly for infiltration purposes. Usually, it would adopt the appearance of a beautiful woman or a handsome man, which would make it easier to win the favour of others.
The surface of its body was made of living biological tissue, which was extremely realistic. It could even simulate body odour. Its body was made of a superalloy mechanical skeleton controlled by a microcomputer. It was highly intelligent and had more powerful learning and emotional simulation functions than other Terminators, so that it could better infiltrate human society. The only downside was that its fighting ability was not strong.
Sheyan frowned and asked:
"The future world's Skynet has seriously interfered with the progress of this world. Now, they're even trying to infiltrate and launch sneak attacks. Will the Judgement Day come when John Connor is still a minor?"
Dolittle shook his head and said:
"That's absolutely impossible. With so many Terminators invading this world, do you think the people in the government are all idiots? The information you brought back from Cyberdyne Systems has revealed a series of information. Future Skynet's attempt to recreate itself in the network of this world has attracted the attention of the government. They've even set up a special official force to scan and destroy it. "
"So far, although Future Skynet is still tirelessly trying to recreate itself in this world, the interference of the government has also played a very obvious role. According to my current speculation, the time of Skynet's awakening will only be later, let alone earlier. "
In fact, for the future Skynet, it was now in a dilemma.
In a situation where humans were already on guard, it would be very difficult to send in low-end Terminators to complete the mission. When the target grew up, the threat they would pose would be very terrifying. On the other hand, if they sent in high-end Terminators, although they could kill the target and eliminate the hidden danger, after the high-end Terminators were captured and destroyed, the technological achievements would in turn make humans stronger, and they would be able to clean up Skynet's traces on the network more effectively...
At this time, Dolittle pressed a few more buttons on the side, typing out a string of letters and entering the Enter key. Suddenly, three progress bars appeared on the screen, slowly shrinking.
Dolittle explained that the three progress bars represented the completion rate of the space-time tunnel. Once it reached 100% … it meant that the three powerful Terminators would come at the same time and chase after Dolittle relentlessly. They would not stop until they were dead!
Dolittle had already begun to pack up his things. Sheyan asked curiously:
"What are you doing?"
Dolittle was stunned.
"I'm getting ready to retreat, of course. You know the destructive power of the Terminators! Every piece of equipment I have is a priceless treasure to me. I can't afford to lose any of them! I'd better pack up and get ready to leave first to avoid being affected by the battlefield. "
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"No problem. Don't worry about your experiments. Since Future Skynet has opened three space-time portals in one go, it means that Future Skynet still values you quite a bit. However, this also means that it's impossible for them to send a T-1000 to assassinate you."
Dolittle shrugged and said, "Of course.
A trump card like the T-1000 is not a particularly important target with strategic significance, so Future Skynet won't send them out. The program I wrote is also a one-time virus, so it's impossible for it to evolve into a new type of virus. Skynet can successfully guard against it with a slight adjustment of the firewall command, so the value they attach to me is limited. "
Sheyan smiled.
"So, since no T-1000 is coming, you don't have to worry about anything."
Dolittle had obviously not seen the strength of Sheyan's group, but he knew that Cyberdyne was heavily guarded. The fact that they were able to forcibly bring out all kinds of equipment that could be regarded as important national secrets from there was no doubt about their strength. Therefore, he stopped packing up his things. For a science fanatic like him, every second was a race against time. If he had time, he would continue his research.
But at this time, Sheyan pondered for a moment and suddenly said,
"Mr. Dolittle, based on the way the previous Terminators entered this world, Future Skynet's space-time wormholes can only be placed within an approximate range. It's absolutely impossible for them to accurately mark the opening of the space-time wormhole near the target's house like they do now. More importantly, the Terminators who have just entered this world are also quite lacking in information about their targets. They have to look for photos and other information of their targets to be able to accurately lock onto them!"
Dolittle thought for a moment and asked doubtfully,
"What do you mean?"
Sheyan continued.
"But now, looking at the way the Terminator cut in, it's as precise as a scalpel. Considering that you mentioned a new type of Terminator, the TOK715, which is used for stealth purposes, can we infer that it's behind all of this?"
