Chapter 340: For Whom the Bell Tolls
Chapter 340: For Whom the Bell Tolls
"Success comes from the magnetic field rotation, and failure comes from the magnetic field rotation. If it were the original magnetic field rotation, I would truly have no way to deal with it. Unfortunately, this is not the original version."
After a total of two months, Qin Muye finally developed a solution to counter the Terminator.
The liquid metal of the Terminator can be upgraded, and its core program can be updated, but the magnetic field rotation, as one of its methods, does not change.
Although the 8th-stage Terminator has been continuously perfected and reinforced by Skynet, even to the point of upgrading its Spark Source to the latest model, the one thing that remains unchanged is its magnetic field rotation.
Qin Muye started from this point and combined it with a large amount of data samples, finally completing the development of the Terminator's treasure.
As long as he disables the Terminator, Qin Muye doesn't believe Skynet will still have any combat power to match him. An 8th-stage Terminator is not a true 8th-stage life form; it's just a robot, not as flexible as a human. As long as he finds its weakness, he can disable it directly.
"Black Hand, go and install the Bell of Doom into the weapon systems and see who ends who." Qin Muye, with a bit of a dark sense of humor, named this weapon specifically targeting the Terminator the Bell of Doom.
It is said that in the original DC comics, the Bell of Doom's nickname was actually the Terminator, but because the movie "The Terminator" was released, the Bell of Doom had to change its name. Just thinking about it makes him a bit amused.
So, Qin Muye indulged in this dark humor.
Incidentally, the Bell of Doom is actually an electromagnetic field disruption weapon, specifically designed to damage the magnetic field rotation and cause the liquid metal to short circuit. Not only that, but if the Terminator's stage is insufficient, it will also damage its internal power source, leading to permanent damage.
"Yes, Master." Black Hand had been waiting for a long time.
The development of the Bell of Doom was already complete; the main issue was the testing, which was a bit more complicated. It couldn't be put into use immediately after development; it had to be tested multiple times to ensure there were no errors.
The Bell of Doom was taken away by the goblins, who began installing it into the weapon systems according to Qin Muye's design. This project would take at least a day, as it was a high-precision device. Moreover, it wasn't just one that needed to be installed, but at least ten thousand, so production was also necessary.
"Recently, the Terminator's strength has been getting stronger. It can now withstand one of my punches." Hercules, a man of pure muscle, walked in, carrying a Terminator that had been beaten to a pulp.
The Terminator looked like a limp, boneless mass.
He casually threw it to the ground, where it splattered into a puddle of liquid metal, resembling a slime.
"You shouldn't underestimate an artificial intelligence. Its computational power is much stronger than yours." Qin Muye said.
The reason the Terminator was in this state was due to the prototype principle of the electromagnetic field disruption device, the Bell of Doom, which Qin Muye had taught him. It was also a small test. Only Hercules, who practiced the basic principles of the four fundamental forces in Dionysus' Dark Stars, could complete this test. Others wouldn't have the ability.
"No matter how strong it is, it still can't match you. Now that you've developed a weapon that leaves Skynet defenseless, what's the problem?" Hercules was indifferent to Skynet. If Qin Muye hadn't held him back, he would have already launched an attack.
To Hercules, whether it was the Terminator or any weapon, it was just that. An 8th-stage strength was enough to destroy all server worlds of 7th stage and below.
Since Hercules and the other deities came to Qin Muye's territory, the original attackers and defenders had already switched roles. However, Qin Muye kept playing to earn more points.
"The Bell of Doom only disrupts Skynet's minions and cannot kill it. I still lack expertise in programming." Qin Muye said, knowing that he could physically restrict Skynet but couldn't completely eliminate it. After all, it was an artificial intelligence, and he would need to destroy all of its servers to deprive it of its physical form.
But that was too troublesome. It would be better to learn some computer science and wage a cyber war to take it down.
Qin Muye's current plan was simple: first, clear out all of Skynet's Terminators, then physically destroy its base. This would confine Skynet to the network, and finally, he would destroy the ecological environment, depriving it of geothermal energy, solar energy, and other power sources.
Of course, during the process of destroying the ecosystem, all resources will be scoured, leaving nothing behind.
Finally, it will be simple: a thorough search to locate and destroy all of Skynet's servers one by one.
It might take a bit longer, but it maximizes the benefits and repeatedly extracts all of Skynet's value.
In this way, Qin Muye will not only gain a large amount of points and treasure chests but also the resources of the entire world as reserves. He can even harvest all of Skynet's scientific research data, making it a highly profitable endeavor.
With Terminator technology, the skeleton soldiers can extend their labor from a few months to a few decades. Although it requires investment, their efficiency will be much higher, and they will be more intelligent and combat-capable. They can serve as both cannon fodder and security.
"It's not impossible. If you delve deeper into the development of Dionysus' Dark Stars, dealing with Skynet would be quite simple," Hercules reminded him.
"Of course, I know that, but the cost is too high," Qin Muye actually had another thought: the benefits are too low.
Could he not understand how powerful the four fundamental forces would be if fully mastered? Even Zeus might die, assuming such forces exist in that world; otherwise, they would be useless.
For example, in the Netherworld, the four fundamental forces do not exist. There are likely many worlds like this.
Hearing Qin Muye's words, Hercules did not take it to heart, as he believed Qin Muye was right. After all, he had not made any progress in years, and it would probably take him a century to further perfect Dionysus' Dark Stars.
For Qin Muye, who had achieved such accomplishments in just a few years, the cost was indeed too high. There were better things to do with that time.
Of course, this was what Hercules thought. If Qin Muye wanted to perfect it, it would be faster, probably taking about two to three decades. Completing it might even result in a Mythic-level profession.
It might even be stronger than a Cultivator.
But for Qin Muye, it was not worth it unless it was for a dungeon. Wasting two to three decades in a server was not worth it.
In two to three decades, his strength would likely increase even more.
With that time, he could research things like the Yellow Spring Water, the Elf Queen's Class Change Voucher, and various other items. Having the entire group reach Epic-level professions would be much stronger than him alone reaching a Mythic-level profession.
As the lord, the prosperity of his territory is key. He can always enhance his own strength later.
'However, it seems the advancement task for my territory is almost complete?'
Epic-level buildings and special buildings have already been purchased and completed using points from the point store by Black Hand.
The most absurd part is that the task to eliminate 10 stage 5 factions is now 8/10. This means he has eliminated other factions in this Skynet era, but Qin Muye has no memory of it. He just killed wherever he went in the Endless Abyss.
He never saw any factions, only Terminators.
'So, the Terminators under Skynet's command are divided into factions and classified as forces?'
Qin Muye was unsure, but it seemed likely. The Spark Source can give life to mechanical beings, so theoretically, Terminators can awaken self-awareness like the T-800 in "Terminator 2," and they might even find it easier to awaken.
'Indeed, with a large enough base, you have all kinds of birds in the forest.'
Qin Muye was actually quite curious about this. He wondered what these self-aware Terminators wanted to do. Since they have formed factions recognized by "The Age of Lords," why do they still swear loyalty to Skynet?
"Master, the latest news: we have found Skynet's core base, Zion, and discovered some unusual things," Black Hand reported over the Magic Network.
"..." Qin Muye was momentarily at a loss for words. What a chaotic mix, with Terminators, Transformers, and now the Matrix. If robots, mechanical enemies, and the like appear next, Qin Muye wouldn't be surprised.
"Send it over for me to see," Qin Muye sighed, hoping it wasn't something bizarre, but it was likely that humans were being used as bio-energy.
