Chapter 450 -339: No Feelings_1

“Skynet is currently gathering data, it has listed you as a top priority target, but due to lack of intelligence, it can’t analyze more…”

“Hmph.”

Hearing Lumiaire’s report, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

“Nothing new, it would be miraculous if it could analyze it. How long will it take?”

“I still need some time at present, Skynet is very cautious, and in addition……”

Upon saying this, Lumiaire hesitated for a moment.

“I have found something very strange.”

“Strange information?”

“Yes, Skynet seems to have obtained some…… information from the future, but it does not line up with the current reality, so Skynet is also processing this information.”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Huai furrowed his eyebrows.

“What do you mean?”

“The situation is unclear, but it seems that in the future, Skynet failed, so before its failure, it sent a few of its infiltrators back to a time point before its failure, trying to warn itself about where things went wrong. I can’t access the specific details because they require the highest level of privileges.”

“This damn thing really isn’t afraid of causing trouble.”

Duanmu Huai clenched his teeth. Going back to the past was not that simple. Apart from the time paradox, his biggest concern was weakening the barrier of time, thereby allowing Subspace to invade reality. If the Cunning Deception targeted them, this planet would be done for, and the only option would be to issue the Extinction Order.

However, Skynet seemed to be completely unaffected, not worried at all about the impact of changing the past. Upon noticing its imminent defeat, it would immediately reload, ordering its next version to eliminate the errors and proceed towards victory again.

This shit was never going to end!

If that was the case, then they would have to change their plan.

Duanmu Huai stroked his chin. Initially, his goal was simply to destroy Skynet. But after hearing Lumiaire’s report, Duanmu Huai found that the situation differed greatly from his expectations. Obviously, Skynet had already built a time machine and even learned to cheat by reloading its system. If it sensed its defeat, it would immediately send other robots through time to warn its past self. Even if Duanmu Huai annihilated this world’s Skynet, there was no guarantee that another world’s Skynet would be as cooperative…

Therefore, they had no choice but to adopt an alternative plan.

“Lumiaire.”

Upon thinking of this, Duanmu Huai made a decision.

“The battle plan needs to be changed.”

“Changed?”

“Yes, can you develop a virus that can’t be detected by Skynet but will activate when certain conditions are met?”

“This…… I’m sorry, I don’t understand your meaning?”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s request, Lumiaire looked confused and didn’t understand what Duanmu Huai wanted to express.

“You surely know by now, Skynet has built a time machine, so if it realizes its defeat, it will send robots carrying information back in time through the time machine in order to warn its past self. This will never end! Even if we fix our world, the past of other worlds won’t be fixed!”

“This……”

Lumiaire was quick to understand, and she of course understood what Duanmu Huai meant. In fact, just thinking about it made her head hurt, but…….

“But how do we do that?”

Although Lumiaire had the ability to manipulate electrified particles and control machinery, she didn’t have a time-traveling ability. She could only influence the Skynet of this world at most. But when it came to other worlds’ Skynet, Lumiaire was completely helpless.

“Just like I said—virus infection. I want you to develop an electronic virus that can’t be detected by Skynet but can activate automatically. Set the condition for its activation as the moment Skynet realizes that it’s doomed and plans to reload its system! How does this sound? Can you do it?”

It was necessary to mention that Duanmu Huai’s request was difficult to fulfill, but he didn’t care—it was his prerogative to offer whatever input he wanted. He demanded the virus to sing the Scallion Tossing song, so she’d better make it sing!

Isn’t this what programmers are for?

“I understand.”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s request, Lumiaire immediately understood his idea. Indeed, if they infected the system with a virus, there would be no need for her to travel through time. Simply hide the virus in the information, have Skynet take it to the past, and then the virus would automatically infect the Skynet of that time. When that Skynet encountered a crisis and decided to reload its system, the virus would activate again…

“Can you do it?”

“I need to analyze Skynet’s core system……”

Upon saying this, Lumiaire pondered for a moment.

“I can do it!”

“Good.”

Hearing Lumiaire’s answer, Duanmu Huai nodded his head before ending communication. He then looked up at the ruined city in front of him and let out a silent sigh.

Honestly speaking, even though Duanmu Huai had dealt with these Evil Intelligences in games, the feelings evoked when encountering them in reality were completely different. A game is, after all, a game. Due to review and age restrictions, they can’t make it too explicit or bloody. But reality clearly doesn’t apply the same rules, nor does it censor scenes or blur them out.

In fact, what they saw inside the bases was much more nauseating than what they encountered in the games.

The robots disassembled humans one by one, performed live dissections, and even conducted a variety of restructuring experiments. The sight left the girls pale-faced, with several of them fainting more than once. Among those killed by the robots were not only young people, but also the elderly and children.

Seeing humans being slaughtered like animals naturally incited great anger.

But, is it useful?

This is like the surveillance footage of traffic accidents, where you watch a child crossing the road, and then gets crushed by the speeding truck the next moment. Seeing a tiny, adorable child turning into a bloody, mangled mess under the enormous wheel, naturally, you’d be as heartbroken as you possibly can be.

So who should this anger be vented on?

Definitely it’s the reckless driver, no one would cause trouble with the truck itself.

And even if you did, what good would it do?

If you burn, dismantle, or strip the truck, it won’t react at all, isn’t it?

What good does that do?

This is how Duanmu Huai sees Skynet and artificial intelligence now.

As a Judge, as a human, he is indeed very angry with these machines. But… Duanmu Huai can’t make these machines pay for it.

Because they are just machines.

They can’t feel pain, do not have feelings, nor can they think, or have emotions of their own.

What can you do to them?

Even if you go to kill the greenskins or the Insect Race, at least they are life forms. Breaking their limbs will make them scream, ripping open their bodies they will feel pain. But faced with robots, no matter how you shred or crush them, they have no feeling. These things don’t even have souls… they are simply machines.

In simple words, one doesn’t even know who to vent their anger on, this truly pisses one off.

It’s the same for the girls, Ann and Greiya have been a bit listless these past few days, and Lorena has been poring over books all day. Only Lani and Felin seem very leisurely, one idling about meddling with the machines whenever she has nothing to do, and the other one just dropping herself onto the reindeer and going straight to sleep, not caring about anything or anyone.

Who cares about the chaos outside?

“Master?”

As Duanmu Huai was thinking, he saw Ogis coming to him, staring at him.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Just a bit dissatisfied.”

As Duanmu Huai spoke, he reached out and stroked Ogis’s head. Ogis just kept looking at Duanmu Huai, and spoke again after a moment.

“Is it because of those robot puppets?”

“Pretty much.”

“Does master hate them?”

“Hmm.”

Duanmu Huai nodded silently. Actually, if these robots really were a mechanical civilization with self-consciousness, it would be fine, but the fact is that they are not, they are only a part of Skynet, just a part, a screw. Getting angry at these things… it’s meaningless, and it has no value.

“…………”

Ogis didn’t say anything else, she simply stared at Duanmu Huai, then reached out and pounced into Duanmu Huai’s arms.

“Ogis?”

Seeing Ogis’s actions, Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised. Ogis lifted her head, looking at Duanmu Huai.

“I read in a book that this should make people feel happy.”

“Thank you.”

Duanmu Huai reached out, gently patting Ogis’s body, which feels soft and warm to the touch. It doesn’t feel like a puppet at all, but more like an ordinary human. This feeling also relieved some of the pressure in Duanmu Huai’s heart due to his frustrations.

However, what Duanmu Huai didn’t expect was that, at this moment, another voice suddenly rang out.

“I also want to hug together with my mate!”

Accompanied by a joyful shout, Duanmu Huai felt a soft, warm sensation at the back of his head, as Bambi flew over from behind, hugging Duanmu Huai’s head, perched on his shoulder, laughing heartily.

It has to be said that the little girls are quite cheerful. Of course, this is also because she and Kula mainly help the wounded and did not join the front-line battle, so they are not very clear about what those damned machines have done. But this is also good, seeing too much would inevitably cause psychological trauma, wouldn’t it?

“Pfft.”

At the same time, Kula also hugged Duanmu Huai’s leg from behind, then she popped her head out, making faces at Ogis in front of her.

These two really can’t get along.

“Alright, alright, if there’s nothing else, just rest early.”

Duanmu Huai reached out and stroked Kula’s head, then took Bambi off his head.

After such a fuss, his mood has relaxed a lot.

Well, he doesn’t care what those metal shells are. As long as he does what he needs to do, that’s all that matters!

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai finally let out a sigh of relief, then turned his gaze away.

In that case… it’s about time to have a good talk with the commander of the rebel army.
