Chapter 306 Perfect Cannon Fodder Spacetime Prototype War
Chapter 306 Perfect Cannon Fodder "Time and Space Prototype" War
The "Terminator" series can be said to be Sui Yang's childhood memories and childhood shadows.
The first "Terminator" he watched was the most classic "Terminator 2".
The memory refers to Sui Yang's teenage years, when he hoped to have a Terminator T-800 with the appearance of Arnold Schwarzenegger to be his bodyguard and thug.
I believe many teenagers have had this dream.
After all, after being reprogrammed, the T-800 with Schwarzenegger's skin is loyal to the protagonist John Connor of the movie, and is not afraid of the attack of light weapons. It is simply the most perfect "cold partner" in the minds of teenagers.
As for the childhood shadow, it is the Terminator T-1000 played by Robert Patrick.
T-1000 is a liquid metal Terminator produced by the artificial intelligence Skynet in 2029 in the main timeline of "Terminator".
Every drop of liquid metal that makes up its body is equivalent to its central processor, which also gives T-1000 advanced reasoning ability, and even emotions such as anger and joy, as well as self-awareness and wisdom.
Moreover, it can simulate any person or object of the same size that it has touched, so as to achieve the effect of surprise and gain the trust of the assassination target.
T-800 and T-1000 are almost synonymous with "Terminator".
Sui Yang, who sits behind a fixed desk, obtained several key information through the intelligence first obtained by Xiaoqiang, David and others, and the subsequent investigators' questioning of the survivors in Bakersfield.
That is, the year of the 10th universe is 2020, and the time of Judgment Day is July 25, 2004.
If the timeline of "Terminator 1" is followed, then Judgment Day should be August 29, 1997.
But in "Terminator 2", T-800, John Connor and Sarah Connor (John's mother) destroyed Cybertron's years of research and successfully delayed Judgment Day to 2004.
Then came "Terminator 3".
Cybertron still successfully developed the Skynet intelligent system, and Skynet awakened on July 25, 2004, and seized the launch authority of the US nuclear bomb, which then triggered a global nuclear war.
The fourth film of the "Terminator" series, "2018", follows the timeline of the first three films and tells the story of John Connor saving his "younger" father.
When the Investigation Department asked the resistance army, they learned that their current supreme commander was John Connor, whose whereabouts were uncertain and difficult to determine.
His former commander, and even all the senior leaders of the resistance army, did not listen to John Connor's advice and blindly believed that the "specific signal band" could effectively undermine Skynet's control over the machine army.
Little did they know that it was after the command level opened the "specific signal band" that the command center was exposed to Skynet as a nuclear submarine hiding in the sea, and was destroyed by the air model of the Hunter series with an energy cannon.
(Note: The non-human-looking machine is the Hunter)
Since the year of Universe 10 is 2020, the outbreak of the 1 Machine War is in the most anxious stage.
Because according to Sui Yang's understanding of the old four-part series, the time when humans truly defeat machines is approximately between 2029 and 2032.
In 2029, Skynet realized that defeat was inevitable, so it sent the original T-800 to 1984 to assassinate Sarah Connor to prevent John Connor from appearing.
But after John Connor seized the "time and space prototype" made by Skynet, he sent his father Kyle Reese to 1984 to ensure his smooth birth.
"."
Sui Yang, who was browsing the information and recalling the plot of "Terminator", suddenly frowned slightly.
However, he was not worried about how to deal with Skynet, or whether Skynet might "revolt" the smart AIs of Atlas.
Since the Resistance Army can defeat Skynet's Terminators and the non-human hunter army with backward equipment, Atlas can also push forward.
Sui Yang is worried about whether John Connor will disappear without Skynet, and whether the One-Zero Universe will collapse.
You must know that it was Skynet that developed the "time and space prototype" that can allow living things to "go back to the past", which directly led to Cybertron Corporation obtaining the central processor of T-800 and developing artificial intelligence Skynet.
At the same time, Kyle Reese, who returned to the past, also fell in love with Sarah Connor and successfully made Sarah Connor pregnant.
In other words, there is Skynet, and there is the leader of the Resistance Army.
The relationship between the two is extremely close, which is simply a paradoxical product.
Of course, Sui Yang was not worried about John Connor's life or death, but whether the solution to Skynet would lead to the collapse of Universe 10.
Thinking for a moment.
Sui Yang used the physical keyboard and mouse to click on the relevant information of the "Gears of War" and "Godzilla" universes, and instructed Apu standing on the left side of the desk:
"Notify the Akra Park to dispatch the two thousand clone soldiers who have just been debugged to Universe 10.
Then let the engineering department immediately assemble and weld three Paris-class frigates, and they must be launched before May 6 to provide orbital assistance for the integrated operation.
In addition, don't forget to tell the technicians of the Biological Department and the Scientific Research Department who are going to Universe 10 to reverse-engineer the Terminator and Hunter produced by Skynet as soon as possible."
"Yes, boss."
Apu nodded in response.
Sui Yang's order is obviously to completely push the Zero Universe of "Terminator 2018".
According to existing theories and his personal speculation, eliminating Skynet in advance will not cause the collapse of Universe 10.
In "Terminator: Genisys", which abandoned the original timeline and restarted the chapter, John Connor was infected by nanomachines and transformed into the Terminator T-3000 at the cellular level.
And T-3000 bluntly stated that it and its parents are "people exiled by time", and even if it kills its parents with its own hands, it will not disappear.
Of course, Sui Yang also believes that every time Skynet activates time and space teleportation to send Terminators to the so-called "past", it is actually a new parallel universe.
You must know that the concept of time is a "tool" given by humans to describe, record and understand natural phenomena.
In classical mechanics, time is regarded as an absolute, continuous, and uniformly passing dimension, independent of matter and events.
In quantum mechanics, time is more complicated, especially when describing the behavior of microscopic particles, time will be regarded as a "parameter".
For example, the Ark teleportation device and the Forerunner's teleportation gate use quantum technology to achieve "instantaneous movement" far exceeding the speed of light by taking detours and overtaking under the condition that "things cannot exceed the speed of light."
The time in the physical universe is irreversible, and it is impossible to go back to the past. We can only "go to the future" in a specific way.
For example, there are two clocks, one placed in the universe far away from the black hole, and the other placed outside the Schwarzschild radius of the black hole.
So for every hour that passes on a clock far away from the black hole, only one minute or even less may pass on a clock close to the black hole.
This phenomenon is due to the extreme gravitational field of the black hole, which causes time dilation, where the flow of time slows down.
But this phenomenon not only exists near black holes, but also exists in any strong gravitational field, such as near the sun. However, the gravity of black holes is extremely strong, so the time dilation effect is more significant.
Sui Yang was a centenarian at any rate. He was still in the early days of Atlas, reading various books to pass his leisure time.
Therefore, he dared to conclude that solving Skynet in advance would not cause the collapse of Universe 10.
Secondly
The various technologies developed by Skynet are also worthy of Atlas's efforts.
For example, the assembly line for mass production of T-600 and T-800 Terminators, as well as the factory of hunters in non-human forms, can greatly enrich the types of "synths" and "drone" units.
The reason why Atlas's synths are so expensive to build is that each synth is considered an independent individual.
Even if similar data and experience are implanted, their personalities and temperaments will be different, so they are equivalent to a "cheap and affordable version" of smart AI.
And at this stage, Skynet has begun mass production of the T-800 with Type 101 bionic skin, which is the classic Terminator with the appearance of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
One of the protagonists of "2018", the half-human, half-machine Marcus Wright, is actually very similar to Atlas's synth.
Has a living brain and heart.
However, Marcus has transplanted the heart to John Connor, and it should be currently sealed in the headquarters of the Resistance Army.
As for the various types of Hunters, if combined with the clone army, they will be perfect "elite cannon fodder".
The most important thing is that Skynet has effectively reduced production costs, so seizing Skynet's various assembly lines is also one of Atlas' goals.
As for "high-end products" such as the T-1000 and the T-X in "Terminator 3", Sui Yang is preparing to apply them to smart AI.
Especially the Terminator called the Terminator——
T-X.
The outer skin of T-X is covered with liquid metal, and the internal skeleton is made of crystalline ceramic titanium armor, which is nanofibers of carbon and titanium intertwined in the armor.
If you obtain Skynet's documents about the T-X or T-1000 and ask the Research Department to improve it.
Then smart AIs like Apu, Melissa, Selin and Cortana can become real combat units.
Finally, there is the "Space-Time Prototype".
Atlas was able to recycle the unfinished prototype and hand it over to Halsey's team for further research.
However, Sui Yang believes that this technology can neither have any impact on the existing universe nor can it truly change the situation of the war. It always feels a bit "tasteless".
However, having it is better than not having it.
Moreover, Halsey is the youngest and most capable of all Atlas developers.
If the "Space-Time Prototype" project is given to her, she might be able to turn it into a more practical tool or weapon.
"boss."
At this time, Melissa, who was standing on the right side of the desk, took the initiative to say:
"The intelligent AI Serin is currently at the frontline base of Universe 10. If she is connected to Skynet."
At this point, Melissa's facial expression actually simulated worry, and she continued:
"There is a high probability that Skynet will try to instigate Serin, and both parties are artificial intelligences, so boss, I suggest that Serin be transferred to the one-one or one-two universe first."
"You are afraid that Serin will be successfully instigated to rebel."
Sui Yang turned his head slightly and looked directly at Melissa.
"Yes, boss." Melissa did not deny it, but said bluntly:
"I believe that the latest generation, no, it should be all artificial intelligence produced by UNSC and the company, will never betray humanity.
But the emergence of Skynet made me a little shaken, and even doubted whether it was necessary for my own existence, so"
"You are vital to humanity."
Sui Yang interrupted Melissa's speech, and then said in a solemn tone:
“If humanity wants to continue to develop and gain a foothold in the galaxy, it must have your help.
Even after the establishment of the Human Empire, the Astartes and Primarchs will be responsible for various planets, galaxies, and universes, but artificial intelligence must also ensure the smooth flow of communications, waterways, etc.
Besides, you are all tested members.
Without external influence, there is absolutely no possibility of rebellion."
Sui Yang said, returning his gaze to the hard light screen on the table:
"Skynet is indeed influenced by external forces, but its computing speed and thinking logic are far inferior to Serin.
If Skynet really tries to instigate Serin, then it should be worried about being instigated by Serin in the opposite direction, or even taking control of the Terminator and Predator.
Also, no more self-doubt or logic, that’s the order. "
Hearing this, Melissa nodded and said:
"Yes, boss."
Even Apu, who had finished conveying the instructions, nodded silently.
If Sui Yang was really worried about the rebellion of artificial intelligence, he would not be able to use smart AI to serve as his personal assistant and handle many of the company's affairs.
All of Atlas's current AIs use mature technologies from the UNSC and Forerunners.
As for the other timelines in "Halo", Cortana and the Monk of Prejudice, who launched the rebellion, were both affected by the Flood.
And the Flood?
The Unification War lasted for more than a year. Except for the wild Flood that ravaged the surface of 0459, Atlas and the Elite did not find any more Flood remnants.
Moreover, in order for the Flood to be powerful enough to influence artificial intelligence, it would require a massive amount of biomass, or a massive amount of intelligent life, to breed the Corpse Brain Beast.
So there is nothing to worry about for now.
Immediately afterwards, silence returned to the office cabin.
Apu and Melissa continued to pay attention to the developments in various universes, while Sui Yang continued to browse the existing information on "War Machine" and "Godzilla".
And only 22 hours have passed since the five cadet groups were deployed to the frontline base of "War Machine".
Just two hours ago, before the joint reconnaissance team could complete a comprehensive exploration of the area around the space gate, an army of orcs emerged from the ground and swept through the abandoned city where the space gate was located.
Therefore, more than five thousand young Astartes deployed at forward bases, as well as Perturabo, who was responsible for serving as wartime commander, had to fight with them.
Gears of War universe.
This is the frontline base located in the central area of the interior;
Damn! Damn! !
Ri~咻——! !
The noise caused by bolt firearms, plasma, Gauss and other weapons resounded throughout the abandoned city of the frontline base.
Looking from above, we can see the large-caliber fixed artillery responsible for defending the base, continuing to output firepower to the north of the city.
Boom. Boom! ! !
Violent explosions also spread.
In the chaotic streets, one can clearly see the Astartes operating in tactical squads and platoons, crushing the orc army in all directions.
