Chapter 44

Tang Tian was still very eager for various high-tech talents from different dimensions, so in the operation that night, Yoge, leading the New Human Team, resorted to threats and inducements to gain control over the top scientists of the Dyson team and their families in the world of "Terminator 2".

Meanwhile, everything in the Cyberdyne Systems Skynet Laboratory, including files, disks, etc., was completely plundered. The original Skynet mainframe, developed by Dyson from the central processor of the first-generation Terminator, was also completely taken away by the modified version of the 94-type robot from the Mechanical Enemy. Yoge eliminated all the unrelated personnel from Cyberdyne Systems, and under a 500-ton equivalent nuclear warhead, the place turned into ruins. On the other hand, Tang Tian began his own operation and headed to the mental hospital where John's mother was located.

"The opening hours of the mental hospital are from 10 AM to 4 PM," explained the security guard of the Los Angeles Mental Hospital as he blocked Connor and Arnold. Arnold wasted no words and immediately drew his gun and shot. "Who the hell are you? Fuck, you shot me! Damn bastard, don't shoot at me again, don't kill me!" Under the pressure of death, the security guard kept begging for mercy from Arnold.

"Bang!" Just as Arnold let go of the begging security guard, a loud gunshot suddenly broke the previous tranquility. All that could be seen was a fist-sized bullet hole in the struggling security guard's chest.

"Ah! Why did you kill him?" John looked at the fallen security guard and angrily said to Arnold, apparently thinking that Arnold had not followed his orders.

"I didn't kill him," Arnold explained expressionlessly to John, and then instantly aimed his pistol at a group of armed personnel approaching, with Tang Tian leading them, his expression emotionless.

"Target unknown, high level of danger... Authorization to terminate." After scanning the system, Arnold found this armed personnel to be highly dangerous and decisively opened fire. Countless rotating metal bullets, carrying the aura of death, shot toward this armed personnel. In order to deliver a fatal blow, Arnold aimed all his shots at the heads of these armed personnel, under the lock of the Terminator chip. If nothing unexpected happened, each of them would be shot in the head.

"Heh, it seems I underestimated you." Ignoring John's angry gaze and the bullets shot by Arnold, Tang Tian disdainfully looked at the protagonist and Arnold, magnetically manipulating their abilities. As a result, the bullets in mid-air, just like how Neo in "The Matrix" used telekinesis to control the bullets shot by the Agent, were fixed in place. John and Arnold were also firmly immobilized by the gravitational force released by Tang Tian.

"No, no, please don't. This gentleman, don't take Arnold's chip. He is the only one who can prevent the disaster from happening in the future," John pleaded helplessly as he watched the mysterious person in charge open Arnold's head and take out the T-800 chip.

"Of course, I will help you. After all, today is also doomed for destruction, so I might as well conduct my research. As for the future of 1997, it will be changed." Ignoring John's words, Tang Tian separated the T-800's chip from its body and placed it in a specially prepared steel box. After capturing the T-800, Tang Tian left a portion of the New Human soldiers to guard John and walked into the mental hospital himself.

"There are 215 bones in the human body, and that's just one of them. Don't move recklessly," Sarah threatened the doctor, holding a syringe and plunging it into a barrel labeled "Herbicide, Industrial Concentration, Highly Toxic."

"Open the door, or he's done for," Sarah said, looking at the motionless security personnel.

"Don't act impulsively, Sarah. Stay calm," the frightened psychiatrist pleaded.

"You're all dead already. Everyone is dead. I know you don't believe it, so don't push me," Sarah said fiercely, glaring at the people at the door.

"Open the door, open it," the doctor reluctantly compromised and ordered someone to open the door.

"Step back, move back," Sarah warned the people around her as she stepped forward.

When Sarah came out, the T-1000 accelerated towards her, almost crossing the railing, when suddenly it seemed to be controlled by a mysterious force. Then, the New Human soldier holding a liquid nitrogen sprayer froze it with a toxic gas at -196 degrees and placed it in a special iron box. Of course, protective measures were prepared in advance, and these New Human soldiers were wearing protective suits to prevent harm from the toxic gas.

Following the plan, after Tang Tian ordered the elimination of everyone in the mental hospital, he allowed John and his mother to meet and left his contact information. Tang Tian, on behalf of the T-800, also revealed the origin of Skynet to them, informing them that Cyberdyne Systems had been destroyed and that the T-800 and T-1000 were preparing for destruction at the steel mill. He reassured them temporarily and provided some information.

Then, Tang Tian instructed the Umbrella Corporation's forces to infiltrate various parts of the world, engaging in trade and trafficking while establishing numerous large-scale biochemical bases. Although Tang Tian obtained the original Skynet and its designer, the desired Terminator models would only be available in Terminator 4, so the battle with the other Skynet would begin. This was the preparation before the battle, determining which is stronger, bioengineering or mechanical technology, which needed a collision to prove.

Colony No. 2, in the Tennys Mechanical City, Core Laboratory.

Several months after the original timeline, Dyson, the creator of the Skynet designer, was busy with Dr. Lanning working on the Skynet microprocessors.

Dyson, the Skynet designer, was truly a genius. Skynet possessed the ability of self-evolution, but the existence of a designer who could expedite Skynet's birth also demonstrated his capabilities. Tang Tian admired such talent, which is why he wanted to acquire Dyson's team. Currently, he and Dr. Lanning were researching the artificial intelligence—Skynet—aiming to develop its self-awareness.

In the original timeline of Terminator, Dyson achieved great success. Within a few months, he created the first revolutionary microprocessor. Within three years, he brought it to Cyberdyne, becoming the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers utilized Cyberdyne computers... gradually transforming into unmanned combat aircraft... such abilities were truly admirable.

"Dr. Lanning, we still need to run some tests. Wiki and Red Queen need final debugging. According to the boss's instructions, if it attains consciousness, the program composed of countless neural processor nodes forming a massive network will undoubtedly surpass Wiki and Red Queen," Dr. Dyson said excitedly in the Skynet Core Laboratory, resembling a black celebrity.

"Of course, we will succeed," Dr. Lanning said calmly, watching the data from Wiki's diagnostics, sipping a cup of mild Blue Mountain coffee.

Meanwhile, Tang Tian himself had already traversed into the Marvel main world. This time, his goal was to observe the situation in the main world and take away all his clones. The substitute would be the T-800, transformed through skin grafting to become his spokesperson. This would be much safer than relying on clones. As for the counterparts in the parallel worlds and the main world's Tang Tian (including Tang Xing), they would all be dealt with. Of course, someone had come up with a good idea: the Ultimate Bio-Weapon Plan.
