Chapter 30

The robot was stealing a wallet, but when they clumsily caught the robot, they realized that it was actually helping its owner retrieve the respirator kept inside the wallet. While staying in America, Tang Tian didn't forget to observe the progress of this world. When the plot was about to begin, he could take action because his extraterrestrial identity granted him a great deal of freedom in America. Everything that needed to be done from now on would be much easier.

One month later, at the Chicago Police Department...

"Based on the facts! That's what your badge says," Spencer had just sat down when his boss and good friend, John, approached slowly. Unbeknownst to Spencer, his clumsiness had been reported by the owner of that robot.

John stood with his hands in his pockets, calmly looking at Spencer, who was writing something with his head down. He said, "Let's talk about this, shall we?" "What is it?" Spencer raised his head, puzzled, clearly having forgotten about the silly thing he had just done.

"Help, officer! That robot stole my dry-cleaning!" A middle-aged white police officer, upon seeing Spencer and John talking, mockingly raised his hand, causing the people around to burst into laughter.

"Oh, you want to talk about that," Spencer ignored their laughter and turned to face John.

"Detective..." John sat down next to Spencer, holding a chair, and said seriously, "How many robots have you seen stealing wallets?"

"No, John, I saw that guy running..." Spencer explained.

"How many robots in the world... have committed crimes?" John didn't listen to Spencer's explanation and continued speaking.

"Define a crime!" Spencer replied.

"Answer my question." John still ignored Spencer and said sternly.

"None, John." Spencer turned around, unable to look at his friend, and said awkwardly.

"Good, Spencer. Now you can tell me what happened today." John finally got to the point. His real purpose was to understand why Spencer had done something so silly today and to make him realize the impact he had on others.

"No, nothing happened." Spencer shook his head helplessly, even though he was deceiving himself. It was evident from the mockery of others and John's questioning that they knew about the incident.

"I can pretend like nothing happened, but I hope this is the last time." Seeing Spencer's expression, John said helplessly. After all, his good friend had gotten into similar troublesome situations many times, so he hoped Spencer would change for the better.

"Spencer, are you sure you're ready to come back? You can take your time, no need to rush." John stood up from the chair and patted Spence's shoulder, expressing his deep concern for his friend.

"I'm fine, thank you, John. It's better than sitting at home." Spencer replied with a tone that seemed both grateful and helpless.

"Homicide Unit, Spence." Just as they were having their conversation, the wireless communicator at the Chicago Police Department suddenly rang. Spencer put on his wireless earpiece and asked. As the voice on the other end kept coming through, Spence received a distress call from USR Corporation, stating that his friend, Dr. Alfred Lanning, had committed suicide. Upon receiving the news, Spencer immediately stood up and said to John.

"John, I have something to take care of." John looked at Spencer's expression and understood that something major was about to happen. He nodded to indicate his understanding.

Machine Enemy, the largest company in the dimensional plane, United States Robotics Corporation, abbreviated as USR Corporation is the biggest multinational super corporation that has ushered in the era of domestic robots based on the NS series intelligent robots. Speaking of which, it is similar to the Umbrella Corporation from the movie Resident Evil, both being super global conglomerates. However, the difference is that the Umbrella Corporation created a biohazard crisis that could destroy the world, while USR Corporation has propelled the world forward. But let's get back to the main topic.

By 2035, USR Corporation has completely popularized intelligent robots, with one NS intelligent robot for every 15 people. Machine workers and assistants are everywhere, even infiltrating household life, and taking on the responsibilities of nannies and caregivers. People are becoming increasingly reliant on robots that tirelessly serve humanity. But will this kind of life continue indefinitely? Reality provides a new answer, and that answer is negative.

Dr. Alfred Lanning, the father of the NS robots, no one understands how such a mistake led to his downfall. The former genius could not prevent his untimely death. Now, he lies in the lobby of the USR Corporation headquarters on the first floor, surrounded by police caution tape.

"A true genius, such a pity that he fell like this." Tang Tian, dressed as a successful person, slowly approached the place where Dr. Lanning died, claiming to be inspecting the blood at night for toxins. He presented his credentials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and easily collected a blood sample from Dr. Lanning.

In fact, it's unnecessary to resurrect him. With the technology Tang Tian possesses, he can perfectly replicate deceased scientists. Through the previous collection of samples from Veronica's place, he also obtained the technology to enhance genetic intelligence, just like the Alekzia siblings. He can clone a super-intelligent version of the scientist to serve himself. Alexander's contribution is truly significant. Given time, Tang Tian will resurrect him.

After dealing with most of the transaction matters, Tang Tian has temporarily become a member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation under the arrangement of the United States government. Although one particular alien doesn't seem to like it, it is sufficient for the upcoming actions.

Spencer's actions on the other side were also swift. In no time, he arrived near the caution tape on the first-floor lobby and, after presenting his credentials, was allowed entry into the crime scene where Dr. Lanning committed suicide.

One particular alien who was just there to observe didn't make any moves. The successful transaction between the alien and the United States government allowed the alien to obtain identity and protection. Tang Tian helplessly looked at the American agents protecting him from behind, as these were all part of the agreements with the Earth government. The United States government also promised that if the alien has the capability, they can access the desired technology. Of course, the United States government knew that the alien needed robot technology, so they indirectly facilitated the alien's plundering, coincidentally aligning with the alien's character.

"It's good to see you again, young man." When Spencer approached Dr. Lanning, a silver holographic projector popped up, displaying a holographic projection of Dr. Lanning. It was clearly prepared in advance.

"Hello, Doctor." Spencer's expression was slightly abnormal as he spoke. After all, Dr. Lanning was his friend, and his death saddened Spencer.

...

...

The dialogue continues as in the original plot, with Dr. Lanning instructing Spencer to seek answers on his own. At this point, the USR Corporation Wiki has gained control of all NS-5 robots. If it weren't for Spence discovering the betrayal of

The wiki or if the number of NS-5 robots reached a certain threshold, a Terminator-like doomsday scenario might have occurred again.
