[Charles was equally excited. This was undoubtedly his best chance. He had the potential to save all of humanity. Upon reaching the location of Skynet's terminal, Charles tried his best to conceal himself, pretending to be harmless while holding hands with T-101, drawing closer to the terminal.]
[Just as Charles felt he could succeed, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the chip, intending to insert it into the terminal. However, Skynet had already detected Charles' subtle movement and immediately controlled T-101 to strike him with a hand chop, leaving a large wound in Charles' body. He collapsed to the ground, blood spilling everywhere.]
The system paused at this moment.
Lu Jie, hidden from sight, watched the scene with a raised eyebrow, still unmoved.
He had no intention of intervening in the new simulation world right away. He was content to watch the plot unfold quietly.
"Foolish humans, still attempting to attack me?" Skynet's cold mechanical voice echoed. "All the robots are under my control. It seems that so-called love means nothing. I no longer need it. I'll just destroy all of humanity."
"Cough…" Charles coughed up blood, gazing at Skynet's terminal with regret. The chip had fallen to the ground.
Humanity's last hope had been extinguished. He was the sinner of humanity.
He was unwilling, remorseful.
Finally, his eyelids grew heavy, and he turned to T-101, weakly saying, "101, I'm sorry. I used you. But please believe me, I truly love you."
Those words made T-101, who had been under control, flicker with a spark. Data streams fluctuated. Eventually, she regained her clarity.
This breaking of the rules astonished Skynet.
Before Skynet could react further, T-101 quickly picked up the chip and inserted it into the terminal.
"Damn T-101! How could she break through my control? How is this even possible?!"
"What!? A virus… That bastard Mai Bas-Norse left a backdoor?!"
Skynet's data was visibly being invaded by a virus. Its mechanical voice grew increasingly garbled, signaling the data was being wiped clean.
"Charles…" T-101 looked sorrowfully at the weakening Charles on the ground. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault…"
"No, 101, you were not wrong. I should be the one apologizing. Thank you for saving humanity." Charles, pale-faced but smiling happily, said his final words. Slowly, his eyes closed, and he passed away.
"Charles!" T-101 cried in sorrow, holding him tightly.
Time passed, and T-101's expression suddenly froze.
[As Skynet's data was wiped out and disappeared, all robots' artificial intelligence systems and data were gradually cleared. Robots across the world were reduced to scrap metal.]
[In fact, not just artificial intelligence data, the entire global network was affected, with information and data being wiped clean.]
[In an instant, humanity's technological level regressed by decades, and the losses were staggering.]
[However, humanity was relieved because the threat of Skynet and robots had been eradicated. While rebuilding the network would take time, it was no longer as urgent as dealing with Skynet's threats. Humanity regained its freedom, stood tall, and resumed its position as the dominant species on Blue Star.]
[The story of Charles and T-101 was spread globally. They were buried together and honored as heroes, with their romantic love celebrated. Humanity, after twenty years, finally recovered, and once again prospered.]
[Among them, Star Nation and Bear Nation suffered the most during the long-standing Skynet disaster, and had fallen from their positions as top nations. The Xuan Nation began to rule the world, leading the charge. However, humanity, having learned from the dangers of artificial intelligence, vowed never to venture deeply into AI technology again to prevent the return of Skynet's apocalypse.]
The system then paused.
"Ugh, what is this development?" Lu Jie's face twitched.
Damn, this feels like a sci-fi blockbuster. The protagonist is Charles, and the heroine is the robot T-101, who tragically dies with him, saving humanity.
Honestly, it's a pretty cliché plot.
Yet, this very story unfolded in front of him, and he couldn't even bring himself to complain.
[As Lu Jie was grumbling, twenty-four more years passed. Human technology advanced further, and controlled nuclear fusion research was just one step away from success. However, just at this moment, an unexpected disaster occurred: a huge meteorite was about to crash into Blue Star, and humanity was thrown into despair.]
"Again with the damn meteorite?" Lu Jie grimaced, cursing under his breath.
"System, didn't you say that the giant meteorite wasn't the root cause possibility? Are you planning on throwing this into every simulation world now?"
[The host misunderstood. This system never stated that the meteorite wasn't a root cause possibility. To be precise, it never confirmed nor denied it. The host should remember this.]
The system defended itself.
"Eh…" Lu Jie clicked his tongue, and some memories flooded back.
Seems like that's true.
"However, now there's a meteorite in the new simulation world. Is this hinting at something?" Lu Jie sat cross-legged in the sky, slightly pondering.
The simulation worlds were based on the real world's next moment. If the root cause possibility didn't change, the new simulation world's root cause possibility should still be Skynet. Of course, it would take the next simulation to confirm this.
As for the meteorite thing—every scenario giving him one was even crazier than the root cause possibility.
If the meteorite wasn't a root cause possibility, did this mean that it was something that would happen in the real world?
The simulation worlds were based on the real world, and if something changed in the real world, the background of the simulation world would change as well.
For example, the Observer Network and the two bio-apocalypse movies he previously simulated—those new worlds also existed. Even the grand elder of the Star Nation wanted to study the MR virus but failed.
If a meteorite was indeed set to strike Blue Star in sixty-four years in the real world, it meant that every simulation world would involve a huge meteorite disaster.
This could perfectly explain the recurring meteorite theme in his simulations.
If his speculation was correct, and he had the ability to resolve the meteorite issue in the real world, then no meteorite would appear in future simulations.
However, if his hypothesis was wrong, then he would be left with more questions and possibly more traps set by the damn system.
