If the principle is in line, even if the protagonist destroys the machine, someone will soon be able to make another one.

Therefore, it is in vain to say that the protagonist worked so hard to go back to destroy the machine.

The world is so smart, even if the first machine is destroyed, everyone will be able to build it again within 5 years, so the final result is the destruction of the world.

Just like the atomic bomb, atomic fission can release energy. As long as this principle is discovered, even if the United States does not drain the atomic bomb technology, other countries can build atomic bombs.

    "If you show someone their future, they won't have a future. To take away the mystery of the future is to take away hope." It turns out that Wu Yusen can also make this kind of more humane science fiction suspense film, of course it ends. It is still inevitable that his iconic white dove appeared, although it appeared suddenly~ This film reflects on the machine that predicts the future from the perspective of the protagonist. A person’s judgment on his own personality and habits will also change his fate.
