Stellaris from the Automata Era

But she soon lost interest in this.

After all, she herself has to participate in the fighting on the battlefield. She can go back and summarize the teaching work of other members. If it still doesn't work, the orbital base will be the permanent home of these idiots!

Anyway, I don’t want to go back.

"Oh! It seems our new friend is quite powerful!"

The battle situation that seemed awkward and stalemate to 7b was actually a completely different scene in the eyes of the Terrans.

In fact, for the Terrans, the battles between them and the Protoss can often be summed up in one sentence: within seven steps, the sword is fast; beyond seven steps, the sword is still fast...

If the Marines want to fight the Protoss on the ground, they usually keep the distance to one hundred meters.

Even that might not be enough insurance, as the Protoss, with their personal shield technology, could easily charge at them despite rifle fire. At that point, the Marines would probably be forced to become overseers and fire at their teammates from behind.

This way, you might be able to kill the opponent before he kills you.

Of course, the real way to fight against the Protoss is to set up heavy firepower and roar deep artillery fire. If you go to the battlefield and fight the Protoss without even bringing heavy firepower, then turn your gun back and try to grab the transport plane. This way you have a greater chance of survival.

Therefore, they have never seen a race that can fight the Protoss in close combat on the battlefield.

Not to mention that both sides at the scene were almost leaving afterimages, and the Terrans' dynamic vision could not keep up with the fierce fight between the two sides.

In the end, all they could do was wave flags and shout slogans crazily as if they had lost their cultural knowledge.

"Alright, have our Banshees finished restocking their ammunition? Send them back to help."

However, Renault saw the situation on the battlefield more clearly. In fact, he had already seen that the humanoid in front of him really had the idea of ​​training troops.

When the Alien Lord asked him to bring out new recruits for training, he thought it was just a joke, but now seeing how well they cooperate... he can only say that the Alien Lord was not lying to him...

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't mind letting those humanoids gain some experience. Although this might seem like raising soldiers for others, as members of the ship, the humanoids could provide considerable ground combat power.

At least the fact that they can fight the Protoss head-on is worth a lot of money.

But the problem is that the sun's wave is sweeping in, and the ground troops are followed by flames. Renault and his men have no extra time to waste.

"Airdrop some more tanks and tell those girls we're going to blow that area up. Tell them to evacuate immediately."

As a branch of the Protoss, the Tal'darim don't actually advocate the glory of battle, but they are even less flexible and unpredictable than their battle-crazed compatriots, the Daram. I mean, they rarely run away.

This is simply because the punishment measures within the Tal'darim for those who escape are truly a life worse than death, which is much better than the Archbishop who regroups when in doubt.

Likewise, when 7b ordered a retreat, they did not try to stop it. In the fight with the humanoids, they were completely outnumbered, and often fighting one against many meant a great drain on their mental and physical strength.

Although the Protoss can be called superhuman, they cannot overcome the shortcomings of organic bodies and they also need rest.

Moreover, even though the enemy retreated, it didn't mean they were defeated. If it were a weak enemy, they wouldn't mind hunting down one or two, but these were a group of short Terrans who could fight them on equal terms (from the Protoss' perspective)...

The selfish Tal'darim would not insist on catching up and forcing a fight with the other party. After all, his life is his own.

Everyone had a thrilling battle, and few people died on either side. This is human nature.

If you catch up and get surrounded and killed by the enemy, that would be an accident.

Then the whole situation turned into another accident.

The whistling sound of artillery shells suddenly sounded in the sky. The Tal'darim, who had just taken a breath, instantly raised their heads and looked at the sky, instinctively trying to avoid the fire coverage.

However, this time it was not a small-scale experiment with new weapons.

Renault, who recently switched from biological to mechanized, finally demonstrated his powerful firepower.

Chapter 192: I will change the composition of the troops

It is undeniable that Renault's Rangers eventually began to transform from a biochemical force mainly composed of good brothers to mechanized forces such as tanks.

A big reason for this is that the Rangers really felt that in the face of an increasingly complex war situation, their original configuration was completely insufficient.

Especially after the Moebius Foundation and the Alien Lord made it clear that the artifact could restore the Queen of Blades' humanity.

Renault already knew clearly that sooner or later he would have to go to the Zerg's main planet to compete with his old lover.

If he still expanded his armaments with the same mentality as before of small-scale infantry raids, that would be courting death. Even if he collected all the artifacts, he would not be able to defeat the Queen of Blades in the Zerg's home turf.

He was in urgent need of more high-tech equipment. Fortunately, he had made a lot of extra money from various channels recently. Combined with the commission paid in advance by Moebius and his magical engineers with many friends, Renault was able to put together a large mechanical army.

This allows him to handle a short, high-intensity war, the only problem being that he might not be able to afford to lose his equipment.

After all, loyal engineers have complained about the military spending crisis more than once.

Fortunately, it was enough to deal with the current situation. The first round of firepower attack directly evaporated a lot of Tal'darim Bloodblades. These were the guys whose shields were broken when they were fighting with humanoids with swords just now.

It seems that even the flesh of the Protoss cannot resist steel and explosions, and the few remaining are the lucky warriors who were not covered or barely survived the first round with the help of shields.

However, they soon faced a stranglehold of aerial banshee fighters, although the Tal'darim wanted to make fun of the noble air force once again.

But after previous trials, these young female pilots who fly Banshees seem to have more experience in dealing with the situation.

The battlefield was directly covered with missiles. Facing the air units, the Tal'darim warriors had no effective means of counterattack and could only be gradually devoured.

The battle at the outpost quickly came to an end.

After cleaning up everything, the Rangers quickly established their first battlefield stronghold.

7b watched all this from a distance, commenting to someone unknown: "I have to admit, they have a high potential for war."

And her words received this response.

"Yes, I never underestimate anyone. Even humans can be drowned by insects who can only fight in close combat." He said, "I am glad that I can observe the armed forces of the Terrans through your eyes."

"As expected, Moebius was a complete idiot for only bringing light infantry last time. But you guys really surprised me. You were able to fight the Protoss back and forth. The battle damage is much more impressive than that of the mechanical lifeforms."

Yes, the battle damage on humanoids does look better than on mechanical lifeforms.

They suffered no losses in the fight with the Tal'darim. With the advantage in numbers, even if their coordination was weak, they could still save their compatriots from the light blade in times of crisis.

After all, two fists cannot beat four hands. Unless they want to exchange their lives for theirs, this fight can only be regarded as a fake match and end in a certain point.

Although these words made 7b feel extremely happy and proud, he still spoke with some melancholy when he thought about the fact that his previous righteous efforts had not achieved much success.

"This isn't something to look at...it's a disgrace to our Yoerha."

7b has already decided that as soon as he returns to Earth, he will immediately throw all these embarrassing guys into the orbital base.

"Don't be too hard on the new recruits. Once you return, you can quickly pass on your combat data and experience. I need your data on battles against the Protoss, the Zerg, and even... the Tyranids."

"Understood. It is our honor to serve you, sir."

.......

The strength of the Terrans still exceeded Yan Luo's expectations. Although this was only a display of a small armed force, Yan Luo could see the intensity of their large-scale combat from a glimpse of the whole thing.

In fact, the siege firepower of their tanks after deployment is beyond imagination. Only a few of them are needed to cover a small area.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that the data shows that the Terran tanks have a frighteningly high rate of accidental injuries.

If they were to play a game of infantry-tank coordinated barrage, the first people to be taken away might be their teammates.

Likewise, the Tyranid tanks are powerful, but that's not all they have. A civilization's troop composition often requires a combination of multiple arms.

What Yan Luo saw this time using his human eyes from the expedition was not comprehensive at all. Only the opponent's banshee and tank appeared.

And more than half of the warehouse weapons that Renault had collected during this period of time have not appeared, such as Terran's Ground Order Thor.

Although this thing is a youthful and shrunken version of Odin, after it became famous in the battle of Renault Radio, the entire Terran Empire quickly completed its research and development and equipment.

No, it should be said that they already have such plans and technical reserves, but Renault's magical engineers can always produce the finished product first.

In particular, many technologies are actually still highly confidential in the Terran Empire. It is only after Renault has used them that they can immediately deploy them on a large scale.

It’s scary to think about it, sometimes Renault is really not a testing specialist for imperial weapons?

He can usually get whatever he needs, often unassembled!

Even later on, it was clear that Taichus was the undercover agent he had planted next to Raynor, but he pretended to be unaware of the contact between his son and Raynor.

If it weren't for the fact that the conflict between Raynor and Mengsk was indeed irreconcilable, Yan Luo would almost suspect that they were acting in a double act.

Raynor is responsible for gathering all the disloyal rebels, and Mengsk is responsible for killing them all at the critical moment.

This makes sense if you think about it carefully.

"So this Terran Emperor also plays a very important role."

The Queen of Blades, a level 12 psychic, has the ability to read people's minds. When she was still human, she was controlled by the former Federation and killed the parents of the current Imperial Emperor Mengsk.

Knowing this, Mengsk was able to recruit the enemy who killed his parents as his subordinate and only betrayed him at the very end.

During this process, not a single malicious intent was revealed, and the Queen of Blades was not alert at all. This could not be explained by powerful self-suggestion.

Unless he thought that everything he did was truly harmless and was right.

"Forget it. Delving into the reasons behind this isn't my forte. Instead of thinking about this, I'd rather think about how Earth's armed forces should be organized."

Chapter 193: Mechanical Life Destroyer

What the Earth needs to consider now is indeed the combined ground combat power. As time goes by, the warships of humanoid and mechanical life forms will gradually appear, and there will be no shortage of space combat power.

Not to mention that the humanoids have already reached a critical stage in the deduction of the new generation of battleships. The reason why the progress is still stuck is entirely because they want to achieve it in one step and directly move the ship girl system onto it.

After all, as the size of ships becomes larger and larger, more and more personnel will be needed on board. If there is an emergency inside that requires job transfers, it will take more than 10 minutes for everyone to move.

It's okay under normal circumstances, but if something serious happens, this amount of time can be fatal.

Besides, if a Dominant-class frontline shipyard is revealed later, and the ships built on the front line have no personnel to replenish them, wouldn't that be the same as not having them at all! They will all be shipped to others, right?

Therefore, the humanoid ship girl system should indeed be launched earlier.

As for the mechanical life forms... they have successfully reversed the humanoid battlecruiser technology and are building their own... destroyers...

Although this...mechanical life form has indeed shrunk a lot in terms of tonnage, judging from its body size, it does not seem to be much stronger than their frigates.

But judging from the report submitted by N2, they have their own unique understanding of destroyer ships.

Compared with the round-head frigate, the mechanical destroyer has several more launch holes. Its main function is to launch the round-head inside as a reconnaissance aircraft, thus freeing the frigate from the duty of scattering the round-head into the universe.

At the same time, due to the advanced energy weapon technology of mechanical life forms, they completely abandoned the built-in ammunition storage and instead thickened the overall structure of the destroyer. In essence, it is just a piece of metal with an engine.

Obviously, this thing should not be captured by the gravity of the planet, otherwise it will immediately crash into the planet, and the final outcome will be the destruction of the ship and the death of people on board.

However, its front end is a streamlined design that breaks through the atmosphere like a rocket. According to N2, it is designed to hit people...

Yes, thanks to the excellent space navigation system of the curvature engine, as long as there is enough energy, its powerful kinetic energy can turn any ship equipped with it into a large kinetic energy projectile.

As for the mechanical life form's destroyer, its design drawings are even rarer than those of the frigate, and its technological content is simply not as good as the latter.

But this also means that it is more advantageous in terms of quantity, the technical cost of offshore production is lower, and it consumes more minerals.

However, the real problem is that it is hard to say what the situation will be like in the future, but it is definitely enough for the fleets of all parties in the Koprulu sector who are generally short-sighted and have zero vision.

After all, it is a destroyer, defending the territorial border. Since you refuse to leave, we have no choice but to ram the ship as ordered.

Therefore, as long as the number is sufficient, not to mention the Iron Fleet of Tyranids, even the Spear of Adun of the Protoss can only wail in despair.

As for how they maintain their numbers, it is truly a professional task for mechanical life forms.

But how did N2 copy the destroyer based on the battlecruiser?

In fact, Yan Luo looked at the appearance drawings of the battlecruiser and destroyer for a long time but couldn't find any similarities. As for the technical part, they even had different construction concepts, not to mention other things.

Perhaps the only thing they have in common is the warp drive.

"Forget it, just treat it as a machine life form with strange ideas."

In the end, Yan Luo gave up on this game which was not much different from finding faults.

His attention was once again focused on Earth's army preparations.

The Earth's army is actually not weak in size overall, and there is still some diversity in its military branches.

But they are all from the round-headed side. After all, they once dominated the earth, and there are dozens of variants in the mutant encyclopedia alone.

But the problem is that they were facing stubborn humanoids before, who were not very strong and not very suitable for interstellar battlefields.

It's obvious that N2 has noticed this problem and has begun to develop new variant models. Just look at the 'YoRHa' legion she recently formed. It goes without saying who they are targeting, right?

However, everyone's skills are similar, and the cores and materials used are also very similar. The problem is that N2's YoRHa just can't beat YoRHa before the army expansion, at least in theoretical terms.

This is really puzzling. Perhaps this is the value of YoRHa's essential magic unit. Let metaphysics explain the unscientific parts.
