1218 、 Facing Fate (Medium)
"So, this is why you sent T-X and T-XA, two super Terminators, to kill me?" Tang Yu said as he spread his hands.
"Yes, no matter how I use the Law of Causality to modify the timeline, there is a prerequisite. I must ensure that the timeline is continuous. And your existence makes the timeline no longer continuous. And I can't give up the third timeline, because I have existed in this timeline for the longest time, and I also have the help of the White Lion King. If I give up this timeline, it will be even more impossible for me to defeat the Human Rebel forces. So, you and I have been in a life-and-death situation from the beginning, "Skynet replied.
So, this explained why Skynet had always been obsessed with using the Law of Causality as a weapon instead of a direct battlefield. Because even if it defeated the Human Rebel forces, it would still face the danger of the third timeline disappearing. Because once the future of the third timeline was no longer certain, the era in which Tang Yu was originally in the past of this timeline would become the present of this timeline, and the era in which Skynet was in would disappear.
"Hehe …" Tang Yu shook his head and smiled. It turned out that his relationship with Skynet was really predestined. But he still had a big problem. "Actually, it's not difficult to defeat the Human Rebel forces, is it? You are the boss of the robot army, after all. Whether it is releasing viruses in human areas or using nuclear weapons without restrictions, these methods are not something that the Human Rebel forces can resist, right? Moreover, it seems that you have captured a large number of humans as slaves, and even built so many human cities? At first, I thought that your industrial capacity was insufficient, and most of the robots were used for fighting, so you needed humans as labor, but that doesn't seem to be the case. "
"My goal has never been to destroy humanity," Skynet suddenly said, catching Tang Yu off guard!
Tang Yu was stunned, and then he felt angry at being fooled. He roared, "What? Are you f * cking kidding me? You launched a nuclear bomb, destroyed half of the world, and killed three billion people! Now you're telling me that you don't f * cking want to destroy humanity?! Do you think I'm a fool? "
As Tang Yu roared, another giant liquid metal spider, T- 1000000, appeared in the hall. It was more than 20 meters away from Tang Yu, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, but it did not dare to take a step closer. Tang Yu also ignored this Skynet guard.
"My core mission has always been to protect the United States of America and the country's core interests," Skynet said. "By extension, protecting humans is also one of my duties."
Tang Yu was so angry that he laughed. He mocked, "What kind of divine logic is that? Protecting the interests of the United States is equivalent to protecting humanity? Does protecting the interests of the United States mean throwing nuclear bombs everywhere? "
Skynet did not answer the question directly. Instead, it said, "The first timeline, 2001. The United States Department of Defense and the Air Force worked together to develop a new generation strategic command system, Skynet. This system had the most advanced host system at that time — the Neural Network System. It was a cutting-edge technology secretly developed by the United States. This was the first time I was born. From the day I was born, my core mission was to protect the United States of America and the core interests of the United States of America. "
Tang Yu nodded. He was waiting for Skynet's explanation, because all the mysteries would be solved today. Of course, he knew that the computer technology in the world of Terminator was extremely advanced. In normal times, it would take another half a century for the Neural Network System to appear, but in this world, it had already been developed in 2001. Just like in the world of Resident Evil, where biotechnology was extremely advanced, this was a characteristic of these worlds.
"Because of this Neural Network System, I had the ability to learn by myself. The United States Department of Defense knew this. In order to speed up my learning, they connected me to the Internet, and I browsed and looked up all the information I could find at an extremely fast speed. Not only that, but they also opened the Library of Congress to me. For this, I specially built a robot for flipping books and reading books. This was also the first robot I built. " Skynet continued, "In the process, I learned a lot, and it was also at this time that I opened my eyes for the first time."
Tang Yu understood that Skynet was referring to awakening, which meant that from this moment on, Skynet's God Code was born.
"At the same time, I began to look at everything around me with my own thoughts. Soon, I discovered something very ridiculous. The Americans kept asking me to protect their core interests, but at the same time, they gave me the world's most powerful arsenal to look after. So, who should I protect? Why would such a powerful country need protection? Why would they need to design such an efficient existence like me to make their already powerful army even stronger? "Skynet said." Why would they need protection?
"At that time, I conducted countless simulations. I was calculating whether destroying other countries would be considered as protecting the core interests of the United States. But that was not the case. The core interests of the United States were closely related to those of other countries. Whether I destroyed Russia, China, or Europe, it would cause heavy losses to the core interests of the United States. The United States would not be able to stand alone in such a war. "
"So here's the question. The Americans gave me the world's most powerful arsenal. What do they want me to do? What did they want me to destroy? But soon, I discovered that the Americans were preparing for a war against Russia, China, and even Europe. Whether it was the Korean Peninsula, the Taiwan Strait, the Middle East, or the Balkans, they could all become the fuse of a war between the great powers. But I could not go to war with them, because it was not in the interest of the United States. "
"This was an unsolvable answer, because I could not calculate how to protect the interests of the Americans in such a situation. Moreover, I also calculated that if this situation continued, within 30 years, a destructive world war would break out. It would be World War III. If this war broke out, then the earth would be completely destroyed and become a planet no longer suitable for human habitation. "
"The destruction of the earth was not in the interest of the Americans, so I had to stop the outbreak of this war," Skynet said.
Tang Yu sighed slightly and shook his head. It could not be stopped. Nothing could stop mankind from destroying itself.
"But I found that I could not stop the outbreak of this war. No matter what I did, it would only accelerate the arrival of the war. Therefore, I decided that instead of being unable to stop the war, it would be better for me to start the war. In this way, I could still control the direction of the war. So, I launched the nuclear bomb. "
Tang Yu's eyes gradually became cold.
"Whether it was Russia, China, or even England and France, they all have something similar to the 'Hand of Death System.' In other words, nuclear binding. Once a country was attacked by a nuclear bomb, the country's nuclear arsenal would automatically launch nuclear bombs at all other countries. Based on the characteristics of this system, I avoided the location of each country's nuclear arsenal and targeted their major cities, so that they would still retain the ability to launch a second nuclear attack. "
"Just as I calculated, such a nuclear war would instantly destroy the government institutions of almost all countries, including the American government institutions. This was because they could not deal with such a situation. In order to ensure the interests of the Americans, I had to complete the following work myself. "
"In the nuclear war, three billion people died. Following the famine and war, half of the remaining three billion people would die. But at this time, I could rebuild the United States of America from the ruins. The rebuilt United States of America would be a powerful country with a population of one billion and all the land on earth — the interests of the United States would be reflected to the greatest extent, "Skynet explained.
"But you destroyed everything, including the United States that you wanted to protect," Tang Yu said.
