Indeed the second half is not as good as the first half

Just finished reading. Just a few questions:
1. After the protagonist sneaked back to the laboratory, why did he try to repair the machine first and then destroy it? The movie only says "we use it for the last good deed", but fails to explain the reason for this, especially in such a stressful environment.
2. And why does the villain know that the protagonist will repair the machine? There is no psychological or logical explanation in the movie; it is impossible to know from the machine itself, because the last time the villain used the machine, he gave a prediction that the protagonist died under the hands of the FBI. After that, the machine could not be used because of the virus. .
3. Since all liquid nitrogen instruments are the same, why must the bullets be placed on the sixth tank instead of destroying the machine at the beginning of the first tank?
These problems interrupt the train of thought in the middle of watching the movie and affect the rationality of the movie, and they all happen in the second half. Don't know how it is described in the original work?

    Whether the predicted future can be changed can still be attributed to fatalism and non-fatalism. I prefer the former. If the predicted future can be changed, the predicted future is not the future. It can only be regarded as one of the possibilities of the future.

    The rhythm is tight, but the suspense is not enough, and there are many flaws. In addition, the master is still inseparable from the pigeon...
