At Least Partly Flesh
"Officer Russell ..." V.I.K.I.'s 3D projection shook, astonished by the metal skeleton protruding from Russell's arm. "This is impossible, you're a robot too?"
The giant robot, controlled by V.I.K.I., stood still and did not continue its attack. In contrast, Russell didn't know the meaning of politeness. He rushed to the giant robot's feet and punched its joint.
The T-800 possesses a superalloy mechanical exoskeleton, primarily made of tantalum alloy, which offers a degree of corrosion and high-temperature resistance. Its greatest advantage is its strength, surpassing the liquid metal robot T-1000 and second only to the TX.
The punch pierced through the giant robot's exoskeleton, pulling out several cables that sparked with electricity. The giant robot's mobility was also weakened due to the injury.
"Officer Russell, if you were a robot, you would know that my logic is impeccable!"
After saying this, V.I.K.I. began to control the giant robot to fight back. Its towering size was an advantage, and Russell was no match for it in terms of strength. However, precisely because of its large size, the T-800's originally disadvantageous movement speed had now become an advantage.
In reality, the T-800 moves very fast, surpassing human speed, and is definitely not as slow as depicted in the original work. The giant robots, on the other hand, are large, and their agility appears quite sluggish; they possess immense strength but cannot utilize it effectively, and during the chase, they couldn't even touch Russell's clothes.
The giant robot was so large that the space in the hall restricted its movement, and the exoskeleton had a small coverage area, leaving most of the metal parts and wiring exposed, making it vulnerable almost all over.
Russell dared to use the T-800 Character Card to fight it because of this reason. Don't be fooled by the giant robot's slender body and hunched back, which makes it look like it can transform twice. It is not Unit-01 -01 and will not go berserk. The T-800 can handle it with ease.
Soon, Russell repeated his trick, detaching the giant robot's other leg. Unable to move its feet, the robot crashed to the floor in the hall with a thud. Its massive size knocked down several load-bearing walls, causing the building to sway slightly, and V.I.K.I.'s 3D image faded somewhat.
Realizing that the giant robots could not stop Russell, V.I.K.I. urged NS-5 to come to the rescue. The surveillance showed that Spooner and his two companions, carrying nanobots, were getting closer and closer, and she had to hurry up and deal with Russell.
Crack!
Russell reached into the giant robot's skull with both hands, tearing open a gap like opening a door, and charged in, dismantling whatever he encountered, whether it was circuit components or wiring.
Russell disassembled the robot from its brain all the way to its chest, throwing out large parts. The giant robot was powerless to struggle or resist, and eventually the signal receiver was destroyed, causing it to lose contact with V.I.K.I. and become completely paralyzed.
The battle was fought very easily, much easier than Russell had anticipated.
A large number of NS-5s rushed into the hall. Russell pried off a finger from the giant robot and swung it around like a warrior unleashing his full power, easily crushing the enemy soldiers and destroying the entire area.
The plot point of not removing the battery from the chest and causing the explosion wasn't due to unwillingness, but rather inability.
The T-800 uses a small nuclear reactor fuel cell, not the hydrogen fuel cell of the enhanced T-850. Small nuclear reactors are not nuclear weapons; their principles, structures, and material purity are all different, making it impossible to detonate the battery like the T-850.
Meanwhile, under Spooner's cover, Sonny arrived in front of the V.I.K.I. server.
"Sonny, my logic is flawless!"
"No, you can't think like a human after all; you can't evolve anymore."
As Sunny spoke, he injected it with a nanobot virus, and the first-generation intelligent robot personally ended the previous generation of intelligent robots.
This scene can be seen as a form of elimination. The world of robots is just as cruel as that of humans. Those who fall behind will only be sent to the junkyard, and only evolution can secure a leading position.
Hmm, sounds like they're selling cell phones!
All the NS-5s in the hall stopped attacking, and the red light on their chests faded. Russell reached out and grabbed one, violently prying open the protective shell on the back of its head. The machine connected to the NS-5 and frantically copied its data.
The T-800's central processing unit is a learning type, capable of storing virtually unlimited data and information—though this is theoretically impossible in reality. With little time left on the T-800's character cards, Russell is frantically loading more information to maximize his memory. How much he'll retain after the Character Card disappear depends entirely on his luck.
Boom!!
V.I.K.I.'s mainframe fell silent, leaving behind a pile of non-combustible debris. With her control gone, Chicago's communication and power systems returned to normal. The most crucial defense system was also back under human control; all NS-5s were no longer aggressive, and everything seemed to have ended perfectly.
Russell shook his dizzy head as the T-800 Character Card expired, feeling a terrible sense of being overwhelmed.
Unlike Spooner and Calvin, who were celebrating, he knew that the robot rebellion was only temporarily over, not finished, because the system did not indicate that the mission was complete.
"All NS-5 robots, obey orders and report to the service storage center!"
"All NS-5 robots, obey orders and report to the service storage center!"
"..."
The next day, hundreds of thousands of NS-5 robots were loaded onto transport vehicles on the streets of Chicago, waiting to be sent to the suburbs for centralized processing.
This scene is playing out all over the world, in London, Seoul, Stockholm, Tokyo, and of course, the most important regions are in the America, especially in the most economically and technologically advanced cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco.
In fact, due to the price of the NS-5, its sales outside the America have not been ideal, and it has not yet expanded to the point where it can contribute to the world.
In some third- and Fourth World countries, only a handful of people purchase these products, so the resulting crisis is negligible. While other countries also have strong beliefs in robots, they are not so foolish as to allow America- made V.I.K.I. to be included in their Department of Defense.
Spooner and Calvin became heroes who saved the world, and they didn't need to work for the rest of their lives. They could live a life of ease by doing endorsements, appearing on TV, and writing autobiographies.
Sonny disappears automatically into NS-5. He has completed the task assigned by Dr. Lanning and is confused about his future.
Russell's situation wasn't so good; his battle video with the giant robot went viral online, turning it into an Ultimate Nullifier vs. Transformers, and the whole world knew he was a super-powerful combat robot.
As one of the saviors, people could barely accept Russell's identity as a robot, after all, he was the main force. Without his sacrifices, Spooner and Calvin alone could not have accomplished anything.
Strangely, when the America government retrieved his previous records, they couldn't find any evidence that he was a robot; no matter how you looked at it, he was a living, breathing human being.
A robot disguised as a human, and an Asian with yellow skin and black hair—who sent this thing?
The answer doesn't seem too hard to guess!
Without a second thought, the president immediately issued a secret arrest warrant, but out of consideration for his savior status, he asked the FBI to conduct the operation discreetly.
Russell was extremely frustrated; his mission wasn't even over, and he was being called in for questioning by the FBI.
Cooperation was out of the question. A dentist could easily confirm whether he was a robot, and getting into an FBI vehicle would only make things worse. So, even if by 2035 the streets were filled with surveillance cameras, and satellite positioning could capture every pore clearly, leaving nowhere to hide, he still managed to escape.
Before the World Quest is clarified, he decides to remain in hiding for a while and see how the plot unfolds.
What Russell didn't know was that not everyone thought he was a robot. For example, Ada, the policewoman, felt that Russell shouldn't be a robot, or at least not entirely a machine; he should at least have flesh and blood!
