In response to Dolittle's explanation, Sheyan asked a little tentatively, "If I remember correctly, there's still a really long time before you'll die from your illness, so you should have enough time to choose a healthier body, right?"

Dolittle - or more precisely, the great scientist - let out a wry smile.

"Yes, I do have enough time to wait, but…the medicine has a shelf life. My friends, you should know the condition of my previous body. That's why, although this current body of mine suffers from an excessive sex drive, a rheumatic heart disease, polio, elevated blood viscosity, vitiligo and beriberi, it was still an irresistible temptation to me. I couldn't wait…"

"You're right," replied Reef earnestly, "To be able to escape from that body is a supreme temptation for anyone, sir. That body was simply a God-given cage!"

Dolittle nodded gratefully.

"Thank you for your understanding. In my opinion, I'm a new person and has a new life now, so you should just call me Dolittle."

Everyone in Party Ace was simply awed by his previous status and identity. They nodded respectfully. Meanwhile, Dolittle started to tell them the subsequent story.

"At that time, news of the Terminator's invasion had began to appear in the confidential files of certain countries. Due to the special identity of my previous body, and because I had a little achievement in the subject of space-time wormhole theory, I was able to get an all-around access to these materials."

"Therefore, when an outsider appeared before me and told me that the Terminators we were facing back then were just the small fries, I wasn't surprised at all. Next, he provided me with a slew of information which opened up a whole new horizon for me. If the knowledge I acquired in the first half of my life could only let me wander before the Door of Truth, the information he provided me not only opened the door for me, but also let me step into it and walk to the second floor!"

Dolittle waved his hands around excitedly as he told his story.

"This knowledge made me realise that the productivity and technological capabilities of humans are actually adequate; what's lacking is the knowledge of how to use them! The technologies now are full of chaos, waste, and disorder! Like a giant who can't use his strength properly, our left leg takes a step forward, but our right leg wants to take two steps back! The information the outsider provided me with was new ways of thought and application of skills that were not so far apart from the technology possessed by humans, but they were so clever that they must have been derived from the devil's mind!"

Sheyan interrupted him at that moment.

"With all due respect, Mr. Dolittle, there's definitely no free lunch in this world. The outsider must have his own reason for helping you, right?"

Dolittle nodded in agreement.

"You're right. After I've absorbed all that knowledge, he handed me another stack of information, the name of which was the 'Research Report on The TERMINATOR-1000 Machine'."

"The TERMINATOR-1000 Machine?" Sanzi was puzzled. "What's that?" ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

Unlike Sanzi, the mention of Terminator-1000 cause Sheyan and Zi to look at each other in surprise. Their hearts were beating violently. They immediately understood that this mission was actually related to that "thing"!

"The TERMINATOR-1000 machine", abbreviated as T-1000, could be said to be the representative model of the Terminators. It was a terrifying liquid metal assassin, an almost indestructible monster!

Dolittle sighed when he saw their response.

"It seems like you already know what that is. When I first saw its detailed parameters and information, the first thought in my brain was: It's impossible! Skynet is only 20 years ahead of human technology. How can such a bizarre killing machine that has such a high IQ come into being?"

"But after some careful research and deduction, I realised that my first impression was wrong. Yes, that outsider has done so much for me. The only requirement he made was for me to try to control, analyse and modify the T-1000."

"He's someone with great vision. He felt that using the liquid metal technology of the T-1000 to manufacture robots is a waste of technology! It's possible, in theory, to make it a self-evolving metal that has the power to swallow other powerful metals and completely recreate weapons suitable for combat in various environments!"

Sheyan involuntarily drew in a sharp breath. By now, he had almost completely understood what the contestant wanted. That man was truly an amazing guy. If one thought about it carefully, his train of thought would lead to something very powerful indeed.

The most amazing aspect of T-1000 lay not in its endurance and indestructibility, but in the fact that every drop of liquid metal in the T-1000 was its own CPU. A CPU had no independent thoughts, but it had the ability to self-assemble and to cooperate with other CPUs. Be it the shapeshifting or the movement of the T-1000, it was the result of the CPU's processing.

More importantly, it could assume the appearance of most objects or living things it came into contact with, as long as they were somewhat similar in volume!

Which means that it could shapeshift into any type of cold weapons it came into contact with!

For the Terminators, not being able to shapeshift into firearms was a huge weakness, which was why the improved T-X model was introduced later on. The T-X model was a more advanced model which had built-in particle weapons enclosed by a liquid metal exterior.

But the shapeshifting-into-weapon function which Skynet had almost completely abandoned was a treasure for contestants! Moreover, Dolittle seemed to be able to give this liquid alloy the ability to devour and evolve!

Sheyan was positive that if Dolittle's mission was done well, he may be able to glimpse the deepest secrets of the Terminator world.

He immediately asked, "So how far have you gone in your research?"

"I'm very close to success. And yes, as you've probably guessed, the mysterious sticky liquid injected into Nicholas' pacemaker is a drop of liquid alloy taken from a T-1000 Terminator. I set up a high-energy interference source in the pacemaker, and by utilising the properties of helium…(a thousand words of explanation omitted)…I managed to suppress the ability of that drop of liquid alloy to the limit, just enough to fill in for Nicholas' heart defects, and provide it with regular twitching. Nicholas proved to be my most successful experiment," answered Dolittle.

"Then why do you still have a heart disease?" Mogensha asked in doubt.

To that, Dolittle could only sigh. "Because an accident happened. You should know that this new body of mine was a cripple before this due to polio. After Nicholas' experiment was successful, I used the rest of the material on my legs to treat them because the FBI were chasing after me. I had to recover my mobility first."

"And then… And then, just as I was preparing for the next experiment, Gore died. "

"Before I talk about Gore's death, you must know something - presently, it's impossible for human technology to produce liquid alloys. Even Skynet, who's decades ahead in technology and has gathered the knowledge of the entire world, can't mass produce liquid alloys. That's why a T-1000 isn't that easy to find."

"In addition, T-1000s are highly intelligent Terminators. As soon as they realise that they're in danger, they will immediately flee. Skynet will also spare no effort in saving them. We only managed to get our first research material, a T-1000 finger, after painstaking effort from Gore."

Gore was naturally the contestant with great vision who cooperated with Dolittle.

It was evident from Dolittle's recounting that Gore must have gone through very thorough planning and arrangement to carry out this plan by himself. Such a grand plan was definitely not something that could be completed in one nightmare world visit.

This was enough to show that not only was Gore meticulous and powerful, he also had a certain amount of influence. It was surprising that such an amazing man would die so abruptly.

Dolittle seemed to have kept the matter in his heart for far too long. Without waiting for Sheyan to ask, he blurted everything out.

"I saw Gore die with my own eyes. So many things happened on that day, strange things…"

"That morning, Gore received news of a T-1000 sighting. He hurried over at once. At first, everything was going smoothly. Gore successfully cleared the Terminators around the T-1000 and then fought it head-on.

"According to the data we've collected, a T-1000 does not have the energy to last for decades like other terminators do. Its energy consumption is astonishing, so it has to be recharged after every mission. Shapeshifting is especially energy-consuming. That said, even in a constant battle state, it can still last for over a week, so it's still more durable than you'd expect."

"Gore tried his best to exhaust the T-1000's energy. According to my research, the energy of a T-1000 must be reduced to less than 40%, otherwise, even if we successfully obtain the severed part of the Terminator, it will explode!"
