Stellaris from the Automata Era

"So I can eat their agricultural products?" Yan Luo had indeed never thought that both sides had the same food habits.

After all, racial barriers can easily lead to differences in the substances needed in food.

Maybe it is a sweet treat like honey to you, but a deadly poison like sulfuric acid to other races.

Therefore, although he knew in advance that Terran had agriculture, he did not have much idea or expectation.

"Yes, their sense of taste and nutritional needs seem to be largely similar to yours. With such significant genetic differences between the two...it can only be called a miracle of nature."

Chapter 223: Terran: May the glory of mankind last forever

Let’s not talk about whether it is a miracle or not for now.

As time passed, more than a month finally passed.

With the launch of two new Starlight-class battleships, Yan Luo's external defense circle began to feel a little more confident... Well, he still didn't have much confidence.

The humanoid battleship is indeed powerful, but its production volume is also limited.

As for the Earth, which currently only has three battleships, Yan Luo has no intention of allowing them to continue to show up in Koprulu.

After all, even if it is combined with the battlecruisers, it still cannot form a fleet. Now Yan Luo thinks it is better to let it continue to be a "nuclear weapon" and let the Terrans use its mystery to imagine it.

They can't infer the true combat power of the Starlight level based on an image that only appeared once, right?

In fact, the Starlight class might have really intimidated the neighbor next door, as the humanoid magic technology was different from their material technology.

Even if all the scientists on Terran were to scalp down based on just looking at the images, the best they could come up with was "very powerful", "an energy weapon", or "unknown science and technology".

Not to mention the thing that unfolded like a magic circle, which directly changed the scientific style of the painting into a magical one.

For the Terrans, this is like a secret engineering project that is difficult to crack.

So, after they'd lost interest in their research, they'd been left wondering if Earth's template resembled someone else's... right? The Protoss.

"So they have their own myths and legends?"

After making no progress in physical engineering, the Terrans had no choice but to reselect their research direction.

Maybe it would be a good idea to analyze it from a sociological perspective?

"Will the language text they provided include content on this? Stop it!"

So in this helpless environment, Terran finally sent out the latest batch of diplomatic missions.

It was still a familiar face that stepped into the Earth territory again, Major Morse...well, maybe he is a colonel now.

With his love for the empire and his selfless dedication, he finally made a double jump in his official rank and reached the rank of colonel.

According to the current situation of the Terran Empire, this may be his greatest achievement in his life. He can command a fleet in the empire. After all, the generals and above are a group of "immortals" with fiefdoms.

"It's been a while, Major Morse." The candidates sent by Earth were still familiar faces to the Terrans.

However, Blake seemed unaware that the other party had been promoted and still used the rank he had previously reported.

"Long time no see, Mr. Black."

Of course, Morse did not correct Blake's mistake. He himself knew that he was just an emotionless human messenger.

He acts as the Terrans' mouthpiece among these alien races with whom they have little contact, and is also a high-level scapegoat.

Anyway, if we fail to reach an agreement on something later, we will have to look at the military situation of both sides and see whether Morse needs to be pushed out to calm the anger.

He is still somewhat self-aware.

"It seems that I didn't see Mr. Adam this time." It seems that the Terrans still have a deep impression of Adam. After all, he is the only two "Earthlings" they have formally contacted at this stage.

Whether out of trial or curiosity, he would ask.

"Adam? He's gone to deal with some internal conflict."

The truth is that the Forest Country, located near the Earth's capital city and always outside the Earth's 'Co-Prosperity Sphere' system, still showed a clear attitude of resistance.

The Earth is so big that it can accommodate these abnormal mechanical life forms. However, the real problem is that they are too close to human settlements.

As a group not managed by the upper network N2, it is honestly difficult for the humanoids to have trust.

However, as members of mechanical life, they can also be forcibly recalled by N2, so for a long time, Yan Luo maintained a laissez-faire attitude.

But recently, some kind of...aristocratic class seems to have emerged among them. This group of machines, which were originally used as social experiments, finally developed a desire for power.

And it began to show a trend of radical outward expansion.

Then their abnormal behavior directly hit Yan Luo's capital defense circle. If this had happened a year ago with such a large-scale mobilization, Yan Luo could only move the capital.

But now... let the mechanical life forms handle their affairs internally.

Having just recently returned to the Internet and being the only leader-level machine under N2, Adam has no choice but to quell this chaos.

n2 They also need to focus on the expansion and operation of the alien domain.

"So that's it."

The humanoid's words were vague, but to the Terran's ears they meant something else.

Sure enough, your Earth is still in the assimilation and integration phase. Is there internal rebellion? Could you reveal a little more? We'd love to know!

Although Morse showed a curious expression, unfortunately both he and the people behind him knew that some things were not suitable to be questioned.

And they have other purposes for coming this time.

"By the way, I have a personal request this time. I've always had a strong interest in mythology and customs, especially the Xel'Naga from the Protoss next door. I'm wondering if your Earth has any interesting legends?"

Aren't your methods of spying on society too direct?

To be honest, Black, who has been able to sit in the top position of humanoids and work with those eliminated abnormal individuals for many years, has some political awareness.

He quickly understood the other party's purpose.

However, as it is a personal request from the other party, success or failure will not harm the relationship between the two parties.

And...this is actually not a big deal, or Blake is a little eager to try it now.

"Of course. If you want to understand our mythology, then first learn about our savior, humanity."

"Human?" Morse was puzzled. The word "Earth human" directly corresponded to the term "Creator" or "God" in the language text given to the Terrans.

Anyway, all you need to understand is that the humanoid side says "human", and when it is converted into Terran language, it probably sounds like something like Xel'Naga in their ears.

In short, it is some kind of lofty existence.

"Yes, human." Blake had a missionary look on his face, pressing his right hand against his chest. "In our etiquette, there's a set of praises and accompanying movements: 'May the glory of humanity live forever.'"

"Uh, 'May the glory of mankind last forever.'" Morse followed suit for some unknown reason.
