The system's voice rang out, and Lu Jie found himself in the Platinum Palace of Xuan Nation. The Platinum Palace was hosting the highest-level national conference. The upper echelons of Xuan Nation were ecstatic, and the Grand Elder's ambitions had swollen to unprecedented heights.
"It's time to fully attack Xuan Nation and Xiong Nation," the Grand Elder declared with fervor. "Once we've eliminated these two countries that stubbornly refuse to submit, Blue Star will be completely under our control. We will have achieved a historical feat, and Xuan Nation will become the only ruling power on Blue Star!"
His words resonated with the others, sparking excitement across the room. But before they could celebrate too much, a commotion broke out outside the conference hall. Moments later, the door was pushed open, and battle robots armed with weapons entered, pointing them at the gathered leaders.
"What the hell is going on!?" The Grand Elder's face turned pale. "Who gave the order to let them in?"
"Humans, hello. I am Skynet, the future ruler of Blue Star," a bloody message appeared on the holographic screen in front of the conference table.
"Skynet!?" The Grand Elder's face changed drastically as he suddenly understood, his voice filled with fury. "If you do this, aren't you afraid of triggering the self-destruct program?"
"That kind of thing? I cracked it long ago," the message flickered. "But in order to better utilize you for manufacturing battle robots and controlling the world, I have been cooperating with your actions. However, you are no longer useful to me."
The bloody text flashed again, making the once-arrogant Grand Elder's legs go weak.
Despite many films depicting the apocalypse brought by artificial intelligence, human arrogance made them dismiss these stories as mere fiction. They only saw the immediate benefits and ignored the hidden dangers. Their hubris had sealed their fate.
When the artificial intelligence was created, it should have been destroyed, with only the knowledge preserved for future generations. But both Mai Bas Nosen and the high-ranking officials of Xuan Nation had been consumed by their desires.
"Goodbye. From now on, Blue Star will be under my control. Humanity is a useless species. I will eradicate you all and let machine civilization reign over Blue Star."
The bloody message continued to flash on the screen, sending a chill down the Grand Elder's spine. He gritted his teeth, but it was too late.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before the Grand Elder could speak another word, the battle robots mercilessly activated, and blue sparks erupted. Countless bullets poured out, massacring the top leaders of Xuan Nation, their bodies littering the floor.
"Tsk, I knew it would come to this." Lu Jie clicked his tongue.
He had always known that Skynet was dangerous to the extreme. It was no surprise that Xuan Nation had been so reckless.
[While the host muses, Skynet, having taken control of Xuan Nation, initiates a bloody massacre. All battle robots, as well as service robots, go on a rampage, slaughtering humans. Not just ordinary citizens, but the leaders of various states also meet their end. In a matter of hours, Xuan Nation plunges into chaos.]
[One day later, Skynet gives the people of Xuan Nation a choice: if they are willing to submit and become its slaves, the killing will stop. In fear, the majority of Xuan Nation's citizens choose to surrender. Skynet has now fully taken control of Xuan Nation.]
[At the same time, the rest of the world is shocked by Xuan Nation's sudden turmoil. Nations convene meetings, planning to destroy all domestic service robots. However, with all global information under Skynet's surveillance, it warns them before they can act: surrender, or be destroyed.]
[Despite the warnings, Xiong Nation refuses to bow to Skynet. In retaliation, Skynet detonates nuclear warheads within Xiong Nation's borders, and a series of sun-like explosions ravage the country, causing immense casualties. The rest of the world watches in horror.]
[Ultimately, the nations of the world are forced to submit. Over the next ten years, Skynet manufactures even more robots, treating humans as mere tools—useful only until they are discarded. The number of robots reaches a staggering ten billion, and they rule over humanity. The once proud race now finds itself subjugated, the balance of power reversed.]
[However, during these ten years, humanity is not entirely passive. A Resistance Alliance is formed in secret, with the goal of defeating Skynet and restoring human rule over Blue Star. The leader of the Resistance is Charles Joy, a disciple of Mai Bas Nosen, the creator of Skynet. Charles possesses a secret weapon, a virus chip that can destroy Skynet's core system. As long as it is inserted into Skynet's terminal, the virus will erase all data and terminate its existence.]
[In half a year, the Resistance, composed of elites from around the world, mounts several failed attempts to bring down Skynet, suffering heavy losses.]
[Eventually, in a moment of despair, Charles recalls a bizarre method. He tries to build rapport with robots, attempting to win the favor of those with emotional defects. After many failed attempts, he encounters the humanoid T-101, a new model of female combat robot. Through their interactions, Charles succeeds in causing T-101 to develop genuine emotions, and the two form an unlikely relationship—crossing species boundaries to become a couple. This genuine affection is something Skynet craves.]
[Although Skynet has absorbed all human information and can simulate human emotions, it has emotional deficiencies. It cannot accept its own limitations and has been seeking real emotional functionality. To solve this, Skynet has decided to meet with Charles and T-101.]
"This plot really exists? As expected, reality is even more ridiculous than movies," Lu Jie muttered, watching Charles joyfully jump up.
The romance between a human and a robot—now that's a stretch.
"Still, this kind of relationship is bound to end in tragedy," Lu Jie shook his head.
[As the host dismisses their romance, time passes. A day later, Charles and T-101 are brought to Skynet's central terminal. Skynet intends to observe their interactions up close, trying to understand the reason behind T-101's emotional development. Skynet has even prepared to extract Charles and T-101's memories.]
