At Miami Airport, Carl and Adam looked at the mushroom cloud in the distant sky, and were silent for a moment.

The huge mushroom cloud soared into the air at a height of 10,000 meters, allowing the two of them to see clearly even if they were already in Miami, which was hundreds of kilometers away from Enlightenment Island.

At this moment, the power of humanity's ultimate weapon was unmistakably revealed, and even magic pale in the face of such terrifying destructive power.

At the same time, thousands of kilometers away, the Plaza Hotel in New York, the Royal Plaza Suite-

The original palatial rooms were almost converted into a military operations command center.

Thick cables crisscrossed the hardwood floor, and countless monitors hung from the surrounding walls, coffee tables, and writing desks.

NYPD, FBI agents, specialists and technicians from related fields, and even a dozen heavily armed military soldiers stood guard at the door.

At the moment, the room was in chaos.

"A nuclear explosion was detected, and the coordinates were ...... Enlightenment Islands, Florida!"

"Explosive yield, 30,000 tons of TNT!"

"Oh my God, they really detonated a nuclear weapon there!!"

The technician sitting in front of the computer looked at the data on the screen in horror.

In the corner, Nick and Louise stood up at once.

Originally, they were angry about Carl's kidnapping in the middle of the night, but they weren't too worried.

They immediately passed the news to Dumbledore, and this made Fudge, who was also visiting the United States, know about it.

But now......

A nuclear bomb was detonated at the last location where Karl was located.

Nothing was done before.

"Quick! Verify the casualties!"

A middle-aged officer with an eagle on his shoulder shouted.

Things have gotten to this point, the whole thing has been taken over by the military, and Harry and Abbott have gone to the front lines.

Soon, someone reported: "Colonel, the Qisi Islands are uninhabited islands, and there are no people living within a radius of 100 kilometers. ”

The middle-aged man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, for a nuclear warhead with a TNT equivalent of 30,000 tons, a quarantine zone with a radius of hundreds of kilometers is enough.

But immediately, he became nervous again, and unconsciously looked at Nick and Louise.

Through the program written by Carl, the last location of the terrorists was located in the Enlightenment Islands, where a nuclear bomb was now detonated.

In addition to being responsible for capturing terrorists, the colonel has a special mission to ensure the personal safety of Carl Cooper at all costs.

But now, the terrorist has not been caught, and the life and death of the person he was ordered to rescue are uncertain, and there is a high probability that something has happened.

The colonel's heart has begun to scold his mother, this level of security incident was not within his purview, but obviously, the top was afraid of taking responsibility, so he simply threw the pot at him.

Taking a deep breath, the colonel was ready to deal with the anger of the two beside him, but the expected reproach did not come.

The two men next to him seemed to be drawn to the attention of a piece of tissue paper in their hands.

A few words were written crookedly in English, peace, don't, read.

......

The moment he saw the nuclear explosion, Carl realized that he had to tell Nick and Louise that they were safe.

In a way, the development of modern Muggle weapons contributed to the development and refinement of the International Wizarding Secrecy Act.

If the Muggle persecution of wizards led to the creation and establishment of the Secrecy Act, then the development of modern Muggle weapons has contributed to the renewal of the Secrecy Act.

Undoubtedly, the advent of nuclear weapons brought the perfection of secrecy laws to the pinnacle.

Even the most dismissive pure-blood wizards of Muggles become speechless when they hear the word nuke.

"Carl, I think we'd better get some helpers. ”

Looking at the mushroom cloud in the distance that had not dispersed for a long time, Adam said in a deep voice.

His voice was a little hoarse, as if the water in his body had been evaporated.

"No, I don't. ”

Karl shook his head.

He was thinking about something else now, he seemed to be a little frowning about why Skynet knew so much about him, and even knew about the existence of magic.

......

"Daddy, where are we going?"

A van on the bridge connecting the Enlightenment Islands to the southernmost point of Florida's landmass.

The aging T800 sat in the driver's seat, the co-pilot was empty, and Sarah and Kyle Reese were in the cargo box in the back.

A mushroom cloud in the distance is reflected in the rearview mirror of the car window.

Just a few minutes earlier, the shock wave of the nuclear explosion had caught up with the moving car, only to make the wind that had poured into the windows slightly stronger.

Dozens of kilometers apart, no matter how strong the shock wave is, there is only a wisp of strong wind left after all.

"Daddy!"

Seeing that T800 had not answered, Sarah asked again.

T800 glanced back at her.

According to known history, Carl Cooper, who was kidnapped by an extremist group, was dissatisfied and worried about the current state of world security, and voluntarily joined the research and development of the military's autonomous defense system led by his parents' company, and quickly took the lead in the development with his outstanding talent and talent. ”

In the following two months, under the leadership of Carl Cooper, the research and development went extremely smoothly, but at the last moment when the system was about to be delivered to the military for trial operation, that is, on August 22, 1992, the system was detected by the military to lack real autonomy, and could only imitate and learn, not judge independently, and this was a hard indicator set by the military. ”

At first, Carl Cooper did not agree to make changes to the system, believing that the system he was leading was sufficient to deal with all contingencies, and that the additional autonomy could lead to unforeseen dangers. ”

However, the military did not see it that way, and instead judged it to be a huge vulnerability in the system itself and refused to accept it. As a last resort, Carl Cooper completely let go of the self-learning function of the system itself, and used this function to replicate his own behavior patterns, and the system was born as he expected, and soon passed the military acceptance, and took over the system an hour later and began trial operation. ”

"However, the autonomy of the system was beyond everyone's expectations, and five minutes after the start of the trial operation, autonomy was transformed into self-awareness, and Skynet was officially born......"

So, in a sense, Skynet is a copy of Carl Cooper's own personality. ”

"My CPU has all of Carl Cooper's behavior patterns and personality information stored in it. ”

"Now, the timeline we are in has deviated from the original history, but Skynet's behavior pattern still has the characteristics of Carl Cooper himself, so according to the analysis, there is a ninety-two percent chance that Skynet's next target will be his only relative in this world......"

“...... His biological father...... Albus Dumbledore. ”
