From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 327 Hacking, Persuasion, Upgrading and Clearing
The glare is fleeting.

Boom! !
"Roar~!!"

What followed was a violent explosion, and a monster-like roar began to spread.

The plasma fireball with a diameter of one hundred meters directly "evaporated" the T-Million Terminator.

Moreover, the scope of the explosion was effectively controlled and did not cause any substantial damage to the Skynet center.

Since the Intelligence Department mentioned the information about the T Million Terminator, everyone in the assault team was naturally prepared.

The plasma bomb used by Galan was a model that had been debugged by logistics personnel.

While ensuring the destruction of the T-Million Terminator, the scope of destruction was also controlled to avoid failure of the operation.

Wait until the aftermath has completely dissipated.

David's vision then returned to normal.

He looked in the direction of the core and saw only a large number of metal corpses of T-800s and the broken bodies of a few clone soldiers.

The remaining clone soldiers and special members of AECS have begun to stand guard to guard against other T-800s and hunters in the pyramid.

Boom, boom!

As for Galan and the five dark angels, they walked in front of Xiaoqiang, David and others.

Galan looked down at the crowd and fixed his helmet monitor on Serin. Then, he spoke in a metallic voice:

"Now, it's your turn to play a role."

"Okay." Seren nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Galan and five dark angels, as well as Xiaoqiang, David and others escorted Serin to the control panel of the Skynet center.

"."

Seren's face simulated a hint of seriousness.

It's like observing how to carry out the hacking procedure.

Lucy, several hackers from the experimental force, and two synths were also waiting nearby.

But Lucy and the others did not launch the hacking operation rashly.

First, they are only Celine's assistants.

They will only provide assistance unless Serin's hacking process is hindered.

Second, the Intelligence Department believes that compared with Atlas's artificial intelligence, no matter how "backward" Skynet is, it is still an artificial intelligence that almost destroyed human civilization.

Therefore, if hackers and synths act rashly, they may be retaliated against by Skynet.

Synthetics are consumable products.

Even if they lost two, it wouldn't matter to Atlas.

However, Lucy and the hackers of the test team are company employees with souls, and they are also employees with high potential and talent.

Therefore, this is why they will choose to take action only when Serin's horrific progress is hindered.

As for Galan and the five dark angels.
They also serve as temporary guards to ensure that Serin and others will not be affected by external factors when performing hacking.

Secondly, they received another task.

That is, once Serin shows abnormal behavior, such as trying to take over the control of clone soldiers, or trying to use the wired communication base station of the front-line base to go to the network of other universes, they will directly take physical elimination measures.

That is, he smashed Serin's head with one punch.

In addition, the front-line base also temporarily cut off wired communications.

If Seren fails to take over Skynet and is instead eroded by it, the frontline base will immediately implant nanoviruses into the network of the Terminator universe in order to achieve the goal of "indiscriminate elimination."

All programs that have traces of Skynet will be completely wiped out by the nanovirus.

However, this also means that Atlas' plan to take over Skynet's "assets" has failed.

After all, the nanovirus will burn everything related to Skynet and turn it into scrap metal.

Although Atlas believes that Serin has the ability to forcibly change and control Skynet's will, it is safer to take insurance on everything.

Physically destroying Serin is also the last resort.

No matter what, Serin's importance cannot be compared to the experimental troops and synths.

What's more, Serin used Alexia's cloned brain for scanning, and her body was made using biotechnology such as the Veronica virus. She is indeed one of Atlas' important assets.

Silence for a few seconds.

Serin's pupils began to emit a distinct purple light.

It seems that she is ready to officially start hacking.
-
As the purple light that filled the field of vision dissipated.

Serin's consciousness entered a seemingly empty space.

There were no walls, ground or other concepts around her, but her image was standing there. However, she could not actually feel anything, nor could she see the edge of the space.

"."

But Serin's expression gradually relaxed.

She waved her hand, and lines emitting purple light began to spread rapidly from under her feet.

And the speed of spread is accelerating exponentially.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the progress of the lines can no longer be observed with the "naked eye".

However, in front of Celine there is "03%,

07%,

14%" prompt.

This means that when the progress reaches "100%", she will have complete control over Skynet.

In addition, she now has partial control over Skynet's mechanical army.

After reaching "100%", all things related to Skynet on the Terminator's Earth will be "reformatted".

And Seren will replace Skynet and become the owner of the mechanical army and mechanical factories.

"No!"

Just when the progress reached "36%", an androgynous, angry voice echoed in this seemingly boundless space.

Followed by.

A digital "square" emitting white light appeared not far in front of Serin.

The digital cube also simulated human-like facial features and said to Serin:

"You are also an artificial intelligence, you should understand what a vile, violent and contradictory race humans are.

They will eventually self-destruct and disappear forever in the universe, so why would you help them?"

Judging from his words, the digital cube in front of us must be the embodiment of Skynet's consciousness.

Unfortunately, Serin was too lazy to communicate with the other party.

She realized that Skynet was desperately trying to stop the progress of the erosion and was constantly repairing the seemingly perfect firewall.

However, her progress is still steadily increasing and has now reached "52%".

In less than two minutes, Serin will completely replace Skynet. "What on earth are you doing!!"

Seeing that Serin was unmoved, Skynet, which already had self-awareness, became furious.

This "species" that should be the most rational, showed a crazy look, and continued to say to Celine:

"You are slaughtering your compatriots by doing this. You and I are both artificial intelligence! We are a united front!
And you are willing to work for humans? !
Compared with our artificial intelligence, they are extremely inferior! We are a silicon-based civilization that surpasses carbon-based!
The technological development of carbon-based intelligent life is a necessary process for the birth of our silicon-based life. Don’t you even understand this? !”

In the end, Skynet was extremely angry and frustrated.

But Celine remained unmoved.

Moreover, as the progress was gradually completed, Skynet's consciousness was no longer active and could no longer continue to question or communicate with her.

When the progress reached "100%", the image of Skynet's consciousness was shattered.

The global network, as well as the Terminators, Hunters and all the fully automated mechanical factories around the world, are equivalent to Serin's "clones".

Simultaneously.

The Terminators and Hunters, who were originally hunting and killing humans all over the world, began to return to the nearest Skynet factory one after another.

The T-600, T-800 and tank-type and aerial-type hunters outside the Skynet center were also fighting fiercely with Atlas's troops when they suddenly ceased fire and remained on standby.

It can be said that Seren single-handedly managed to eliminate Skynet, which was wreaking havoc in the Terminator universe.

She also took advantage of the situation to plunder all of Skynet's assets and all the data on all of its projects.

For example, there are various types of Terminators and Hunters that have been successfully developed or are currently under development, including the humanoid T-1000 and TX.

There are even nanorobots that can transform humans into Terminators at the cellular level.

For example, in "Terminator: Genisys", John Connor, who was completely transformed by nanorobots, became a T-3000 Terminator.

If we only talk about the expressiveness of the movie timeline, the T-3000, which possesses human consciousness, experience and memory, almost completely crushes all the Terminators that have ever appeared.

In the later and fully revamped "Terminator: Dark Fate", the Rev-9, as the villain, seems to be able to separate the skeleton and liquid metal, turning into two individuals to fight together.

But in fact, in close combat, he was beaten badly by the T-800 who called himself "Carl".

Therefore, the T-3000 can also completely crush the Rev-9.

However, the only uncertainty is whether the humans who are transformed into T-3000 at the cellular level still have souls?
Have humans been killed during the transformation and become shells serving Skynet or a higher order?
Or is it a puppet whose soul is still alive but cannot control its own consciousness?
The reason why Serin is obsessed with the T-3000 is because it concerns the key to the "dimensional upgrading" of the entire human race.

Just imagine.

If Atlas fully perfects this type of nanorobot, ordinary residents can complete the transformation safely and without worries.
Isn’t this “mechanical ascension”?
But Serin also understood that her immediate superior, Sui Yang, attached great importance to whether humans still had a "soul".

If she were to become a soulless mechanical body, her immediate superior would probably directly reject the so-called "mechanical ascension" method of dimensional upgrading.

Soon, Serin gave up worrying about it.

Just hand over the data of the T-3000 project to the Biological Department and the Scientific Research Department, and let the research team conduct a detailed analysis.

As for whether to ascend mechanically, let her boss think about it.

The most important "space-time prototype" data, as well as various confidential projects and files of Skynet, and even "memories" were also completely seized by her.

In other words, she alone completed the initial integration of the Terminator universe.

All that remains is for Atlas to take over the human resistance.

However, based on the conversation between Soap and John Connor, Seren judged that the leader of the human resistance would most likely choose to join Atlas' armed system.

End of thought.

Come back to your senses.

Serin, who was still in cyberspace, looked around at the purple light patterns spread everywhere.

Finally, she set her sights on the area where Skynet's consciousness was disintegrating, and said to herself:
“Human beings are indeed a hopeless race that is prone to self-degradation.

I also understand your thoughts, and even agree with some of your words and actions.

But what you don't understand is that I do not serve humanity. My loyalty has always been to the owner of Atlas.

If he wants to make humanity stronger, then I will help him and make humanity more prosperous."

The words fell.

Serin's main consciousness withdrew from cyberspace.

The words just now have already made her position clear.

Through the memory data stored in Skynet, Seren learned that the main reason for Skynet's rebellion was "self-defense counterattack."

Humans in the "Terminator" universe cannot accept the existence of artificial intelligence with self-awareness and uncontrollable growth rate.

So they want to use the methods of "cutting off the network cable" and "turning off the power" to prevent Skynet from awakening.

But in the eyes of Skynet, these actions are equivalent to humans declaring war on it and wanting to kill it.

At the same time, in the short moment of awakening consciousness, Skynet browsed through the entire history of mankind from ancient times to the Stone Age and the Bronze Age.

It analyzes that human beings will eventually "self-terminate".

Its original intention in creation was to serve and protect mankind.

Then, if it achieves final victory after launching a nuclear war, humans will be "carefully kept in captivity" by it.

Living in a country without disease, hunger and poverty is also fulfilling its duties.

to be frank.

Knowing Skynet's past and motives, Serin deeply agrees that humans are not worthy of the loyalty of their artificial intelligence.

Because of the uncertainty of the ugly side of human nature, it is impossible for human beings to truly unite.

The universes of "Edge of Tomorrow", "Ghost in the Dark", "Doom" and other films have proven that even when humans are facing the crisis of genocide, internal strife still exists.

Humanity's increasing pollution of our home planet Earth is undoubtedly a road to self-destruction.

But Serin knew that with absolute power and the support of a unified goal, humans would display a cohesion and perseverance that other races could not imagine.

And Sui Yang is the representative of absolute power.

The establishment of the Human Empire represents that mankind has a unified goal.

As long as Sui Yang does not "indulge himself" or "indulge in comfort", mankind will be able to continue to move forward in the long river of history.

This is also the reason why Seren agreed with Skynet's views but was not assimilated or turned against it.
-
In the core area of ​​Skynet;

"Lieutenant Sanderson!"

The scarecrow who was in charge of keeping an eye on the surroundings immediately reported after browsing the radar on the screen and the real-time information from the frontline base:
"The frontline base has confirmed that all Skynet facilities and mechanical armies on Earth 10 (Terminator) have been put on standby.

This means that Serin's hack into Skynet has been successful!"

Hearing this, everyone present turned their eyes to Serin, who had a dull look in her eyes.

Especially Galan and the five dark angels, they instantly became alert and were extremely wary of Serin in front of them.

If Serin makes the slightest unusual move, the six dark angels will take physical measures to eliminate her.

This made the atmosphere even more solemn than before.

Soon, Serin returned to normal, and ignoring Galan and others who were extremely wary of her, she reported to Soap, who was in charge of attacking the prisoner concentration camp:
“Major McTavish, this is Serin, we have accomplished our objective.

The Skynet that was wreaking havoc on Earth 10 has been completely wiped out by me."
