Captain, your ship has exploded again.

Zhang Xun came to the side of the collapsed Shirley and looked at her weak state. She was a 17-year-old girl who needed to be cared for.

"Alte has been teleported away. Do you want to leave with me or wait for him here?"

"I believe he will come back, he definitely will."

"I will leave some technology for you and Orchid. This technology was originally intended for Mishima, but it's the same for you since he's gone. This is your guarantee for the future."

"I will leave enough treatment fluid. This time you can't run around during the day and come back for treatment at night! Take good care of yourself. If he comes back late, there are cryogenic hibernation pods I left to make sure you will see each other again."

"Thank you, uncle."

After Shirley finished speaking, she fell into a deep sleep. Zhang Xun felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. "I'm only 28 years old! Even if you were 17, wouldn't it be better to call me 'brother'?"

After rescuing and repairing Grace, they prepared to board the Battle-class warship they had previously traded.

"Orchid, we're leaving! Could you sing us a song to see us off?"

Lan Hua smiled as she watched Zhang Xun and Natal, who were about to part ways.

"Okay, Uncle Zhang!"

Zhang Xun stared speechlessly at the corrupted orchid, listening to her sing "Hoshikira Battleship" as it gradually left the planet. Perhaps only at this moment could the song soothe his soul.

Back in the rest area, Zhang Xun felt a little regretful that he hadn't gotten his hands on Sheryl.

"Summary of the System World"

"World settlement: Mission 1 completed, Mission 2 completed, Mission 3 completed."

"Zhang Xun, a recruit, has been promoted to second lieutenant and his salary is 5000G."

"The officer's privilege is that each time they pass through a world, they can choose to return to the original world, and each time they can vaguely specify the range of the next world."

"Three VF series fighter jets, one Battle-class warship with a range of 1.6 kilometers, and some miscellaneous items."

"That's my collection of Queen merchandise, not just random stuff!"

Natal ignored Zhang Xun, who was venting his emotions on the screen in the air, and silently walked towards the newly built three-story villa to go back and rest.

"Tongzi, do you think I still have a chance to return to Macross?"

"I don't know. You've only entered a cosmic node, similar to your concept of the multiverse. Each universe you enter will have many nodes, and you may never see them again unless there are continuous nodes."

"I intend to vaguely specify the next world."

Please enter keywords.

"robot."

"Search the world and lock onto the successful Terminator universe."

"Why would it be the captain's unit that entered this world? Shouldn't it be the mechanized infantry?"

"It's impossible to know, but this universe seems to have restrictions, preventing warships over 500 meters in size from entering."

Zhang Xun decided to leave it for now. Since it was only possible to operate below 500 meters, he would have to use the Archangel. However, the Terminator's combat strength was fluctuating, so he should make some preparations.

I redid the internal defenses of the Archangel, implemented data isolation, installed radio wave mode self-destruct bombs, and found some heavy armor for mobile infantry made of Mandalorian alloy at the factory.

They acquired some electromagnetic bombs and magnetic weapons, as well as some wheeled hover armored vehicles equipped with Gatling guns at the rear and homing missiles on either side of the rear seat. It's unclear which Terminator they're sending this time, but most of them are single-soldier vehicles.

I've planned out the Terminator content I'm going to make, focusing on the movement and attack capabilities of robots like the T-800 and TX. The combat capabilities of low-level robots in Star Wars are truly inferior to those in Terminator.

Seeing that preparations were almost complete, Zhang Xun returned to his newly built villa to rest.

After getting up, I had the smart voice system play Canon in D. Perhaps it's a habit I developed after returning from Macross, but listening to music really helps me relax.

"Are you feeling better, Zhang Xun?"

Looking at Natal preparing a simple breakfast, perhaps it would be better to hire more people.

"Thanks, Natal!"

After having breakfast, the two arrived at the Archangel and checked the progress of the maintenance. When they arrived at the bridge, Zhang Xun had already had it converted into a double captain's seat, and Natal sat next to him to check the warship's change information.

"Natal, you'll always be by my side, won't you!"

"Don't worry, my captain, we're bound together forever!"

Zhang Xun smiled, looked at the screen in the air, and shouted.

"Set off, Terminator!"

I vaguely found myself in a desolate place.

"World: Terminator".

"Mission 1: Destroy at least two Skynet bases."

"Mission Two: John Connor and Kyle Reese survive."

"Mission Three: Survive a future Skynet attack."

"Launching satellites and small energy-powered air defense arrays."

No matter which Terminator universe you come to, deploying satellites and space defense arrays is never a problem.

According to satellite feedback, Zhang Xun discovered that this world was different from Earth. The continental map under the satellite differed significantly from Earth's. Although there was information about the Great Beauty Country, there was no trace of China.

"This Asian region of the universe doesn't even have islands like Japan. I don't know if they were bombed out or if this race never existed."

Comparing satellite images, it is currently located near the south of Las Vegas, Mexico.

"Automatic deployment base for deployment."

The large equipment mounted between the legs of the Archangel was airdropped to the ground, and the unfolded machine base began its busy construction.

The Archangel is docked at a temporary helipad.

"Can you tell me what year it is now?"

"We need time because we cannot directly connect to the world's electronic devices."

"Using a radio receiver, only this thing is reliable during wartime."

The base was fully operational, with factories being built and resources being salvaged from the surrounding wreckage. All electronic products were being recycled and remanufactured.

"Captain, radar has detected an unidentified enemy approaching us!"

Is there a response on the radio?

"no!"

"Sink it. If there's no radio response, they're all the enemy."

Before long, the base's defense range expanded to a 10-kilometer radius.

"Captain, it has been confirmed that most of the planet has been attacked by nuclear weapons."

"Then it must be sometime after Doomsday."

"Incoming missile detected!"

"Where did you come from?"

"From northern America, suspected to be a nuclear weapon!"

"Skynet has begun its purge of us."

"The Archangel has launched, and all base defenses are activated."

The outer space defense array intercepted all missile attacks using high-energy weapons, after which a large number of flying machines began to attack the temporary base.

"How strong is the attack?"

"Most of them are electromagnetic weapons, and our new shield can only partially deflect physical attacks."

"The enemy began to gather in large numbers from the surrounding areas, with a total of 4 flying objects of various sizes."

"Prepare small reactive missiles and aim at the airspace ahead for attack."

When they came to the Terminator world, they prepared a lot of small reaction bombs and a dimension devourer to directly destroy the planet. If that didn't work, they would put the ones they wanted to protect into cryogenic hibernation pods.

If people don't die, the disappearance of a planet won't affect the world's financial system.

"A large number of enemy troops have appeared on the ground."

Is Skynet in a panic? They've concentrated half of America's military forces here?

"Send our combat robots to intercept them."

The advantages of combat robots are that they are foldable, have a large carrying capacity, and are cheap. That's about it. Although they are equipped with energy weapons that are a generation more advanced than the gunpowder weapons below, the battle situation is one-sided.

The Skynet-designed T600 series robots are far superior in defense and agility to the Star Wars combat robots. It takes at least four to five energy weapons to completely destroy an enemy, while a combat robot will have its offensive capabilities greatly reduced if it is hit by a single energy weapon.

Looking at the unarmed combat robots on the ground, they attempted to strangle the T600's neck with their slender limbs.

Zhang Xun understood that defeat in the ground battle was only a matter of time. If Skynet gave the automated factory enough time, the combat robots could gain an advantage through sheer numbers.

However, the ground base has now been lost.

"The Archangel clears the enemy from the retreat route, detonates the EMP bombs in the automated factory to overload and explode the reactor, and we evacuate."
