Stellaris from the Automata Era

Even so, they were taken away by a wave of self-destruction when the opportunity arose, and no one survived.

Now that he has nothing, what is he going to do with his head?

It would be better to oil the road.

.....

An hour later, accompanied by the mournful cry of the flying wings behind the sword soldier armor, Yan Luo completely understood from its red appearance that he could no longer make any maneuvers in the short term.

This is not because the sword and armor's cooling system is too bad. On the contrary, it is already very good that it can last for an hour before being scrapped due to high temperature.

After all, he didn't dare to stop at all while escaping, and he was jetting almost the entire time. He even relied on the powerful power to fly directly over some low-lying terrain.

It was only by fleeing in such a panic that he didn't see any signs of pursuit from behind.

In fact, he had not seen the mechanical life form when he broke away for the first time. Perhaps compared to Yan Luo and the others who ran away, it seemed more in line with its judgment to annihilate the remaining large number of counterattack troops.

Therefore, only after abandoning the spoils and all the results of the past few days and leaving behind to cover the retreat, Yan Luo was able to escape successfully with the two humanoids. Otherwise, he might have had to try to fight a desperate battle.

However, even though he escaped, Yan Luo was still cautious and did not return directly to the base. Instead, he circled around the base until his flying wings were scrapped.

After letting go of Gemini, the whole incident came to a simple end.

"Have you ever encountered that type of model before?"

"not at all."

Divara and Bobola's expressions may show that they blame themselves for their incompetence.

Of course, they still responded quickly to human inquiries, and even Bobo La could quickly make her own guesses.

"That's probably a new type unique to the desert, like a large mechanical lifeform. If a humanoid were to witness it, its characteristics would be quickly reported to all humanoids."

In other words...only in the desert, a terrain that is not valued by humanoids and is not currently included in the target of competition, can such a powerful model be seen?

Thinking about the ability the opponent had just demonstrated, Yan Luo felt that if it pounced on his base, he would probably have to make another tactical shift.

"Let's go back to the base and rest. We'll start the transfer tomorrow."

We can't stay in this desert anymore.

It's time to consider the Loyal Factory. After all, it's right under the noses of the Humanoid Resistance Army, so there shouldn't be any oversized mechanical lifeforms there...right?!

Chapter 17: Is this a transport vehicle?

"Divara, have we been on hold for several months?"

"No, Bobo La, the system told me that we just slept for one night?"

Diwala and Popola were filled with self-doubt. If their memories and systems were correct, it should have only been one night...

But how did this car, which is big enough to fit several people, appear in front of me?

A chassis design with five pairs of road wheels and tracks, an armored shell structure that looks very thick at first glance, and a gun...turret that carries justice and truth?

Hiss! Isn't this an ancient water tank according to the records? Why do humans always come up with these Renaissance things?

Gemini really wanted to remind Yan Luo that this kind of vehicle was indeed useful in ancient times and is still useful for civilian use now, but if used as a combat sequence, it has been eliminated for almost ten thousand years.

But now, instead of worrying about these things, they would rather know how humans assembled the water tank in one night.

In fact...Yan Luo himself also wanted to know.

But he felt that this should be related to higher-dimensional creatures. After he came back yesterday, he just had an idea of ​​creating a greater truth, and then the system reminded him that the higher-dimensional creatures had sent him a message saying something about the English letters ic and instant_build, which had no clear meaning.

So he had the same idea as I did, and he used a hammer and a wrench to knock it out, and also modified the base to make it easier to raise the water tank to the ground.

By the time he reacted...

God knows how he did it!

I can only say that the high-dimensional creatures are much more reliable than his system. After all, the previous one was useless and could only embarrass people, and now this one can only deliver messages to Taijun, which is even more useless...

Compared with this, he wished he could become the one who took on the responsibility and just take the benefits.

Of course, no matter what he thought, the first priority was to move into the factory immediately.

Even though the water tank is out now, to be honest, it still doesn't give him much sense of security. The performance of that mechanical life is really scary.

Ah, yes, yes, the king of land warfare! How could he be afraid of the enemy? But that mechanical lifeform possessed noble air force attributes. Yan Luo didn't think it could survive the bombardment of the black energy ball intact. That kind of attack was definitely not something the thickness of armor could withstand, not to mention the beam attack behind it.

It is indeed better to give Congxin a wave. Once he has developed well, he will teach the mechanical life what the iron torrent, justice and truth are.

"Divara and Bobola, let's pack up and move in today."

Yan Luo ignored the two twins who had expressions of 'I'm very curious' and gave orders directly.

However, in every transition to victory, there are always many difficulties.

"Sir, where should we store our materials?"

really...

Looking at the smaller internal capacity of the chariot, Yan Luo was a little troubled for a moment.

...

The corporal was startled by the loud roar.

As a member of the outpost guarding the desert, his job is actually only one, which is to monitor whether the round heads in the direction of the desert are making large-scale movements towards the central city.

In terms of strength, it was quite easy. After all, the superiors did not expect that when the desert machinery advanced, the outpost battle would be able to hold the front line alone.

So his function is very simple, observe and report, and the rest is to make decisions on his own. For example, when a small group of round-headed people try to enter or exit the desert, he can decide for himself whether to annihilate them alone or call on nearby resistance forces to join in.

From the time he left the factory to the time he became a guard, he had experienced many major events over the years and had gained a lot of experience...but what was this today?

The heavy steel armor, tracked chassis, and gun holes that look very intimidating...

Is this a car?

The corporal wasn't sure. He had actually seen quite a few transport vehicles from other resistance forces, but he had never seen one as hideous as the one before him.

He carefully crawled to a hidden position and continued to observe secretly.

It seemed that the moving car not only attracted his attention, but also the round heads of many mechanical life forms were disturbed by the huge noise.

Following behind the rolling yellow sand, the car's gun barrel turned... boom!

Chapter 18: Don’t talk about humans!

"The small group of mechanical lifeforms has been cleared out, my lord. Shall we go...collect the spoils?"

Divara's voice was heard in the not-so-spacious cockpit, but it seemed a little small compared to the roar of the ancient radiator engine. Even when the burgundy-haired figure saw the human almost falling asleep due to the noise, the volume of the voice behind him became even smaller.

Of course, even if she deliberately controlled the volume of her voice, it would not have much effect. The sound of the cannon was too loud. After spending some time to get rid of the nightmare, Yan Luo opened her eyes wide and began to look at the situation through the observation hole.

"Did someone just fire a gun? What happened?"

This reaction made Bobo La, who was observing silently, admire him. It was obvious that compared to the records that the Creator could only live in a comfortable environment, their current "master" was indeed much more powerful.

At least with the noisy sound, she couldn't fall asleep without turning off her hearing.

"Divara just discovered a small group of round-headed harassers and has completely wiped them out. She is asking if you would like to clean up the battlefield."

Bobo La repeated the situation helplessly, while looking at Divara with a reproachful look.

Apparently, in the sisters' unique way of communicating, they accused each other of disturbing human rest.

It's not my business!

Divara felt that she was as wronged as the ancient Chinese characters, a rabbit wearing a hat, it was unfair.

However, as the one who made the last call and woke up the humans, she really can't get rid of this blame.

All I can say is that the feelings between sisters have long since changed from unbreakable steel to paper since they met humans.

Fortunately, it is humans who interrupt this strange emotional exchange between them.

Pushing open the top cover, Yan Luo leaned out of the car body and then saw several broken bodies lying in a heap at the left rear of the car. Some of them might not have died yet, their legs flopping on the ground.

"There are eleven of them in total. Tsk tsk, are they gathering together to be blasted into the sky? Forget it, give the ones that are still alive a few more hits and reload them."

The so-called loading is actually a carriage that is attached to the back of a water tank and towed. After all, the purpose is to move, not to go to war, so it is a temporary solution to solve the capacity problem.

However, the rear part is equipped with a wheeled structure. The desert terrain is very harsh on wheeled vehicles, and the water tank torque is sufficient to allow them to stumble to the edge.

"Let me do it!"

Apparently, Divara couldn't stand the sisters' attacks any longer, so she jumped out of the car and started doing odd jobs.

Watching the red-haired figure dragging the wreckage skillfully, Yan Luo turned his attention to the front of the car.

"We're leaving the desert."

The boundary between the desert and the green land is clearly visible, with many ruins mixed in.

"Yes sir."

Bobo La could naturally hear Yan Luo's mumbling. Compared to human hearing, the humanoids were superior in all aspects. Even the noisy roar of the engine could not stop her from observing humans attentively.

In order to have a normal conversation with humans, she even squeezed into the opening inside the lid, almost sticking close to Yan Luo, and looking into the distance together.

"Just ahead is the central city. It used to be a prosperous city, but now it's just ruins."

There was a lot of nostalgia in her words. After all, this was a model that had actually existed with humans. Naturally, it had witnessed the end of humanity's prosperity and destruction, as well as the beginning of various events.

"This is the main area of ​​influence of the Humanoid Resistance Army, but the activities of machine life forms are still rampant. My lord, we... wait, what are you doing, Divara?"

"You're trying to say that everyone needs to be careful, right? I'm sure you understand."

After cleaning up the battlefield, Divala appeared on the roof of the car at some point, with one hand on Bopora's head, trying to push her down from the roof.

"And don't you think it's hard for adults to breathe when they're this close?"

"Why do I feel like this isn't your reason? Hmm..."

Death Grip.

The sisters have a very good relationship.

Yan Luo did not feel any extra emotions about the interaction and playfulness between the twins.

Although he could indeed feel that Gemini had special feelings for him, he knew very well that it could not be classified as love.

No...maybe it could be considered that. As far as he understood, the core of the humanoid form was centered on humans.

But the liberation of thinking and emotion means all kinds of possibilities.

Sublimation, reversal, distortion.

Generally speaking, Geminis are of this sublimated type. No one knows what they have been through, but when they deal with human problems, they sometimes transcend themselves and break through the limitations of their own systems.

But it’s not a bad thing for Yan Luo.

This interaction lasted for a while before being interrupted by Yan Luo, who saw an unknown human figure emerging from a hidden area.

He clapped his hands, catching the twins' attention.

"Okay, we have guests. Go and negotiate. Remember not to mention me!"

So soon, the twins began to negotiate with the unknown humanoid.

"We are businessmen."

Of course, a corporal at a certain outpost guard believed what the twins said.

Ever since the Dolls swore an oath to humanity and launched a massive counterattack on their homeland, they have actually been planning to restore the human social structure.

Money and businessmen are also part of it.

Well... although the T-dolls still don't quite understand the value of money, it's actually not a big problem as long as we convert g (T-doll money) into contribution points.

Merchants are resource transport teams that carry their own food. It is reasonable for them to exchange actual resources for money that has no practical significance.

The most important thing is that there are actually quite a few dolls who do this.

Even with many analyses of human readings, the humanoids can do a lot of strange things.

For example, a few days ago, a white-haired humanoid pushed several living round heads in cages, saying that it was an order for living mechanical life forms required by a certain scientific research humanoid.

"Your car?"

"This transport vehicle is something I modified myself. We're going to cross the desert and run into a lot of round-headed people. We need to have some way to protect ourselves, right?"

Very...reasonable.

The members of the humanoid resistance army still believed the statement that Bobola came up with on the spur of the moment.
