Stellaris from the Automata Era

In his opinion, this was similar to the first bunch of incomprehensible praises to the Protoss when meeting them.

Should I have one too?

Chapter 224: This book has been blocked

Morse suddenly felt that the atmosphere on the scene became much friendlier.

The humanoids, led by Blake, had expressions that said, "You are half-brothers."

This not only made the conversation between the Terrans and the Earth very lively, but also allowed Morse and others to receive a mythological "book" that was said to have been copied by Blake himself when they left. At the same time, they were given a gift at parting, an energy coin.

"So what are the contents of the classics you copied?" Yan Luo asked curiously after facing Blake's personal report.

Although he relied on psychic power and holographic projection to watch the entire communication between Terran and Earth, apart from the fact that he instructed the sending of energy coins, he really didn't know the content of the so-called mythological texts of Earth.

After all, the hobbies of humanoids are too broad and unique. After the collapse of the human era, most of the human information they collected contained their own imaginary elements.

It was hard for him to imagine what kind of weird, self-imagined stuff there was in Earth's mythology.

"I wrote all of this myself, combining existing materials. It's basically a collection of stories from the time you woke up from the desert. Don't worry, I promise I won't tarnish your image."

"So...wait a minute?" Yan Luo was stunned at first after receiving Blake's reply, but then quickly realized what was happening. "Whose story are you talking about?"

Who else could it be? Of course it’s Yan Luo’s!

Humanoids are not the same as humans. They are essentially the heirs of human civilization. Compared with the various myths passed down by humans in ancient times.

Instead, they believe in humans even more. As the only remaining humans on Earth, it is not too unusual for them to write Yan Luo into a myth.

Unexpected yet natural...that's what I mean.

"Can you tell me what I wrote?"

"The old era has collapsed. The twins, nearly human, quietly entered His promised land and awakened Him from His endless sleep..."

"So the humanoids really gave us this myth?"

The Terrans quietly flipped through the mythology book brought back from Earth. In fact, the origin of a civilization can be traced, especially for species with obvious social characteristics.

To be honest, if possible, what Terran wanted more was books on the history of the Earth.

After all, that is what records everything about a civilization's past and present, but now it seems that the myths given by human figures also contain a huge amount of information.

"According to the translation... this seems to be called the Current Contract, right? Does the literal meaning mean there was an older copy before this one?"

A sociologist scratched his head and expressed his question.

Thanks to the fact that the humanoids and the Terrans had previously exchanged texts in their respective languages, the so-called Earth mythology was still within the realm of being understandable.

However, their Chinese characters are indeed somewhat obscure and difficult to understand, and it is a complex language with multiple pronunciations and translations.

Therefore, even after more than a month, the Terrans' translation of the Earth's language still relied on "I'm thinking" to infer the meaning in various contexts.

"It doesn't matter whether there is an old copy before. I feel that this is more of a historical record of theirs than a myth." The expert made the remarks as he slowly turned the thin pages to the bottom.

As he translated the text while comparing it, he couldn't help but whisper: "That life that is different from us came from the stars and met the Emperor. He called himself the Protoss and sought a way to resist the dark doomsday.

The next day, he got the answer he wanted and left. Then the Terrans arrived. The Emperor sent his personal guards to defeat the Zerg Queen.

This is really not a history book written by them?"

"Let's not worry about whether it's historical or not. This myth of theirs always feels like it happened very recently."

To be exact, it is no longer a feeling. Considering the current actual situation, this is something that has only happened recently.

Earth...has described all of this as part of their mythology?

"Then the question is, who is this 'human' they are talking about, the Emperor? The Xel'Naga?"

The Terrans have a set of mythological systems inherited from their home planet Terra, but as they headed towards the stars and the sea, they regarded these as imaginary stories.

If we really have to make a careful classification, Terran should belong to the materialistic worldview.

However, as they developed and grew in the Koprulu Sector, their ideas began to slowly change.

After contact with the Protoss, Tyranids more or less knew about the Xel'Naga, a higher being known as the God of Life.

Although they don't want to admit it, visits to various archaeological sites and ruins in Köprü have revealed a lot of conclusive evidence proving their existence.

"So the 'humans' they're talking about are creatures that can rival the Xel'Naga?"

P.S. Damn it! This month... I was actually gagged! Hedgehog Cat actually blocked me! I can't accept it.

ps2: You can’t search my books now, you can only rely on the bookshelf.

Chapter 225: Forest Country Strategy

While the Terrans continued to speculate on the specific identity of humans, far away on Earth, the humanoids recognized the core area of ​​the capital.

It is undeniable that although Yan Luo completed the unification of the earth, that was only on the surface.

During the thousands of years of conflict between mechanical life forms and humanoids, because N2 had been continuously conducting evolutionary experiments on his own race, the mechanical life forms had actually already completed their division.

Whether it is the forest country mentioned above, the mechanical tribe hidden in the desert, or the happy machines and Pascal Village in the nearby amusement park.

These mechanical forces have actually divided up the awakened machinery of the entire mechanical life form.

Of course, there may be a few that slipped through the net besides them, but these machines were either bought out by N2 and sent to the modification factory to remove the core and complete the process of selling themselves.

Or they could join the various mechanical cults that were growing wildly in various places, and develop into various strange sects.

"So those we saw earlier who transformed themselves into animal forms are the so-called Mechanicus?"

Eve, who rarely appears, narrates his doubts. He is simple-minded and is usually bound to another mechanical life form.

Therefore, as long as you see his figure, there is no need to think about the result, Adam must be nearby.

"It's a machine that advocates peaceful coexistence with wild animals." Adam replied to his brother, gazing at the distant edge of the woods. "According to human standards, they already have signs of primitive religion. What they lack now is a more complete ideological core. Of course, they are not our target this time."

Adam took two steps forward, and then the view in front of him became wider.

Compared to the green and peaceful natural scenery that should have been seen near the Forest Kingdom, the two mechanical leaders could only see pieces of wreckage of mechanical life forms.

These should be mechanical life forms with their own standard equipment. They arm their external torsos with helmets and armor, and hold various cold weapons in their hands, just like an army from ancient times.

These are the vanguard troops, or support troops, of the invasion from the neighboring Forest Country.

After Adam's eyes scanned their remains, the scene at that time was quickly recreated in his mind.

"It looks like they ran directly into the defense network of the capital's core area. No, they were attacked by humanoids before they even left their own forest area."

Adam couldn't help but admire in his heart that these fellow countrymen from the Forest Country were indeed quite brave.

If it were a few years ago, these awakened machines would indeed have strength that the humanoids in the current region could not contend with. After all, the humanoids back then were fighting against mechanical life forms all over the world.

It may be difficult for them to focus their attention on this half-lost piece of land.

However, with the arrival of Yan Luo, the once ruined city directly became the current capital city. Not to mention the humanoid manpower and resources, all will definitely be tilted towards this area.

With such a huge military force in hand, even the N2 at that time had to consider how much it would cost to capture the capital.

Not to mention that the only human in the world currently exists here. Having lost the reason to slack off, the humanoid can only cry out with tears in his eyes, "The emperor guards the country's gates, who dares not die for him?", and then bury the surrounding machinery as if stacking up buffs.

Anyway...N2 wouldn't dare to advance directly into a city with humans, let alone a forest kingdom composed entirely of awakened machines. They don't even outnumber humanoids...

"So who gave them the courage?"

"Perhaps... they haven't realized that times have changed yet?"

Before Yan Luo incorporated N2 to actually rule the Earth, the Forest Kingdom had already entered a state of isolation, driving out all humanoids and mechanical life forms that were not of their faction.

Given their current situation, it's possible that they don't understand the outside world. After all, the last time humans came into contact with them was because of a brief conflict over expanding the capital's defense circle.

However, humans later felt that these awakened machines would eventually become their own, and did not want the humanoids to engage in unnecessary internal friction with them, so they stopped the humanoids from taking the next action.

Perhaps it was precisely because of so many factors that the mechanical life of the Forest Country misjudged something.

In addition, the humanoids later entered the space age, and the technology tree underwent strange updates. Now even Yan Luo may not know what kind of defensive firepower is buried in the area where he lives.

The Forest Country crashed into the outskirts of the capital area, and its death was not too unfair.

However, their outward expansion directly alerted Yan Luo. It seemed that there were still many things on Earth that had not been dealt with.

"Anyway, let Engels, who is still alive on Earth, lead the way first." Adam connected to his own network and prepared to call for support.

A lot of these digging (war) machines were sent to the Koprulu sector by N2 before, but there are still some in stock on Earth, enough for Adam to deal with the problems of the Forest Kingdom.

Soon, several huge monsters hundreds of meters high rose from the nearby sea and slowly walked towards the forest.

In fact, N2 has always had difficulty dealing with awakened mechanical life forms.

Their value from the very beginning has been to provide fuel for the subsequent evolution of mechanical life forms, so the fact that they can maintain self-awareness is the result of N2's mercy.

After all, the mechanical superior network can forcibly connect to the Internet and summon these awakened machines back to its own command, but such a crude method can only turn these machines with their own selves back into the meaningless tools they originally were.

If this were to happen, all the achievements of N2 over the past few hundred years would have been wasted.

Not to mention that the awakening machinery produced by the so-called network disconnection is itself a process of blind box lottery. N2 himself does not know what kind of weird awakening machinery will appear after a series of operations.

Anyway, the formation of these mechanical forces all had their own conditions. From the perspective of diverse development, it would be a pity if they were all destroyed.

So we simply took this opportunity to bring them back under network control.

As for what means to use...

Of course, the most primitive and effective way is violence!

Since the mechanical life in the Forest Country has already formed a strange mechanical class called "nobles", I think they should have a preliminary understanding of the rule of the jungle between countries.

It just so happens that N2 is still short of a lot of awakened machines to unleash the subjective initiative of the tribe. Let's see what strange flowers the absorption of the Forest Kingdom can make the mechanical life bloom.

Similarly, Yan Luo is also very interested in the way mechanical life evolves by imitating humans.

I also want to see how far mechanical life forms can go by following the path of humans.

Chapter 226: I'm not a traitor! I want to see the king!

"Minister, it's bad, it's bad! The enemy is attacking!"

Located deep in the forest, inside a huge castle, a basic round-headed creature jumped all the way into the so-called national conference room.

If you look closely, you can clearly see that the mechanical life forms inside are wearing clothes with cloaks and various hats on their heads.

This shows that they are the so-called aristocracy of mechanical life forms.

And their ministers are no exception.

As a bizarre product that imitates humans, it is unknown what kind of knowledge the mechanical life forms have absorbed from humans.

The minister turned his head, looked at the round head that came to report the news with his small red eyes, and instinctively continued with a sentence in a mechanical voice.

"So you led them here?"

"???"

The round head that brought the news blinked twice, which was obviously its way of expressing its surprise.

However, although most awakened machines have self-awareness, their intelligence level is not very high, and in many cases is only at the level of a junior high school student or a toddler.

So after a brief moment of surprise, it decided to continue with its job.

"Minister! Minister! The enemy is coming! The enemy is coming!"

"What benefit did they give you? To let you lead them?"

"They said if you surrender, you won't be killed and will be sent to the modification factory."

"..."

The scene suddenly fell silent. The two mechanical life forms were obviously unaware that they were chatting across servers, but strangely they brought out the key point of the whole issue.

After a brief silence, the round-headed man known as the Minister tried hard to recall from his database how humans treated traitors.
