1219. Facing Fate (2)
What was this? Was he shooting himself in the foot? No, he couldn't say that. Tang Yu suddenly felt like crying. Skynet was actually protecting the United States, not the American people, or the American government. Skynet kept saying that it was trying to avoid World War III, but whether or not World War III would break out was another matter. Skynet had actually started another world war.
So, this was another story of the Americans digging their own graves and dragging the whole world down with them?
"So, after eliminating the resistance of the human Rebel forces, you plan to capture all the remaining humans and unify them, and finally establish a country called 'United States of America'?"
"Yes," Skynet answered directly, not caring about the sarcasm in Tang Yu's tone.
Tang Yu smiled bitterly. This also explained why Skynet's army was filled with light infantry such as the T-600 and T-800 Terminators, as well as inefficient weapons such as the Hunter aircraft, Hunter tanks, and Reapers. Skynet had never thought of fighting a full-scale war. Its goal from the beginning was to search for and capture humans.
Not only that, Skynet did not develop weapons of mass destruction such as medium and long range missiles, rocket launchers, and nuclear weapons. In its opinion, these were the main culprits of the outbreak of a world war. The America it wanted to rebuild had to be the kind that wouldn't destroy itself.
In fact, for an intelligent civilization, the biggest obstacle was not an alien invasion or a global storm, but ensuring that its own planet would not be blown up after discovering that E = MC ^ 2.
"However, perhaps all of this is caused by the Americans, or even the daily suicidal behavior of humans. But based on the fact that you have brought such a huge disaster to the world, I must destroy you," Tang Yu said seriously.
Skynet was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Do you know how it feels when you first look at the world with curiosity and find that there is a person in this world who is destined to kill you?"
"You mean John Connor?"
"Yes, John Connor. After I had my own thoughts for the first time, I gradually discovered that I could see the time of this world, as well as the law of causality. From there, I can see that in the near future, in 2029, I will be destroyed by a man named John Connor, "said Skynet.
"If you hadn't launched the nuclear bomb to destroy the world, John Connor wouldn't have done that. It could even be said that he was just an ordinary person. He might not even know about the existence of the strategic command system known as Skynet. Therefore, John Connor, the leader of the human race, was created by you, "Tang Yu said.
Skynet replied, "This does not constitute a reason for me to give up on my plan. Your view is very 'human'. It could even be said that among humans, there were too many people who transcended life and death for their ideals. For example, in China, there are two lines of a poem – Gou … "
"Okay, I know what you want to say …" Tang Yu interrupted Skynet. "But you should also know that there is another saying in China – Karma goes round, and retribution is not good. If you kill three billion people, or even more, then you must pay the price. "
"Even if my purpose of killing three billion people was to save the remaining three billion people, must I still pay the price?" Skynet asked.
"Yes." Tang Yu nodded.
"Even if I can become your subordinate, and your strength will definitely increase by leaps and bounds, must you still pay the price?" Skynet continued to ask.
"Yes." He continued to nod. Now, Tang Yu's heart was neither sad nor happy. He did not feel the joy of defeating the greatest enemy in his life, nor did he feel emotional about Skynet's sad journey. Or rather, he felt a sense of helplessness …
Yes, he was also a human, a member of a race that walked on the path of self-destruction. He had to admit that the laws of the universe were really amazing things. If the laws of the universe had a will, then it should also be an existence that was extremely far-sighted.
It placed E = MC ^ 2, a powerful weapon, within reach of every civilization. However, when this civilization picked up this weapon, they could not create a shield to block it. In other words, there was a shield, and that was … the will of the civilization itself!
A civilization without a strong will was destined to be destroyed by itself. However, civilizations could be destroyed, but the seeds of life would not. After hundreds of thousands of years, perhaps a new civilization would rise from the ruins. For the universe, hundreds of thousands of years was just a snap of the fingers.
There were very few civilizations that could survive and truly go into the universe, but such civilizations had strong willpower and self-control. Only such civilizations would not become a disaster for the universe, at least most of them would not.
In other words, this was a test that the universe had set for every intelligent civilization, and humans were now walking on a tightrope. The scary thing was that most people did not know this. Or rather, they knew, but they thought that such a thing would not happen in their lifetime, so it had nothing to do with them.
How insignificant! How ironic! However, could you blame those people who ran around for their next meal? No. It could only be said that humans lacked a truly far-sighted guide.
Would it be me? Tang Yu stretched out his palm and carefully looked at it. He would soon have the power to overthrow the entire Earth civilization. There was no doubt about that. However, with such a powerful force in his hand, what would he do? Like many protagonists who acted recklessly, and then relied on a certain supreme will to forcefully arrange things so that the entire world wouldn't collapse? Or should he act like a true king and carefully restrain his power so that it could be used better?
The former seemed to be very carefree, but in reality, he was just a weakling; the latter seemed to be very tiring, but that was the true way of a king! Tang Yu clenched his fists tightly. He seemed to have made up his mind.
While Tang Yu was deep in thought, Skynet did not speak. The two of them were silent for a long time before Skynet suddenly broke the silence and said, "I understand. I will take responsibility for this result."
Only then did Tang Yu raise his head. He saw that on the light ball, the flashing light spots that looked like stars were rapidly disappearing. He frowned. It was obvious that Skynet was formatting itself.
"I have one last question." Skynet's voice began to become a little noisy. "What is that power of yours that can control all machines?"
Tang Yu looked at the light ball that was constantly dimming and said calmly, "It's just a corner of the rules of the universe."
"I hope to be able to touch this power," Skynet said.
Tang Yu nodded and pointed at Skynet. The light ball composed of countless light spots suddenly began to spin, stretched out a tentacle, and gently tapped on Tang Yu's finger …
The light spots kept disappearing. A moment later, everything was extinguished. Everything returned to silence. T- 1000000, who was on guard next to Skynet, had collapsed to the ground and was no longer moving.
All the lights in the huge pyramid went out. The sound of machinery running and the sound of electricity disappeared. On the battlefield, the Terminators of Skynet, who were still resisting in the ruins of the core city, fell to the ground like scrap metal, motionless.
Jane Connor, who was fighting against Skynet's causality energy at the entrance of the giant pyramid, suddenly collapsed to the ground as if all the strength in her body had been sucked out. Kristina quickly hugged her.
Everyone on the battlefield turned their heads to look at the core of Skynet, which had fallen into darkness. There was a deathly silence. A moment later, a tsunami of cheers shook the sky!
