Stellaris from the Automata Era

Therefore, after waiting for a while, the chief researcher Rui soon gave him an explanation.

"They seem to have been crushed."

Crushed? What kind of adjective is that?

Chapter 246: It's time to restore the ancient and advanced corvee system.

"I know this might be a little hard for you to understand, sir. I'm just explaining the process." The research leader paused, seemingly trying to formulate a better word. "I may not have explained the specific principles of subspace navigation to you.

Compared with other superluminal means, subspace navigation actually enters a space similar to a transit zone, where we can travel hundreds or even thousands of light years in one day, depending on the speed of our ship.

As for our research team... according to them, they saw a different blue space area during their journey, so they decided to temporarily change their itinerary.

However, when they went out, they seemed to encounter some strange existence. He seemed very hungry. We..."

"Okay, no more talking." Yan Luo interrupted the chief's narration.

The World's Ghoul, in fact, Yan Luo never expected that he would come into contact with the Four Psychic Vendors so early.

Logically speaking, as a mechanical unit, the humanoid should not be able to connect to the virtual world, but unexpectedly, there is a direct road in the subspace.

Of course, perhaps due to the mechanical properties of the humanoids, the World Ghoul didn't seem to want to communicate with them and chose to eat them all.

I just don't know if mechanical units are to his liking.

On the other hand, Yan Luo is not very familiar with the four psychic vendors.

The one he was most exposed to during that period was actually The End of Samsara, or it could be said that this was the only version during that period.

Although he had heard of the reputation of the Psycho Four Vendors later, when he wanted to experience it, he ran to EDF to do family planning for the insects.

And now, precisely because he is not very familiar with them, Yan Luo plans to choose a more cautious attitude in his approach.

"Seal all the files from this incident and strictly order all ships to enter the virtual realm, that unique blue space."

Normally, Yan Luo should directly close all subspace directions to prevent all possible dangers.

However, for the entire Earth, the subspace is their only means of long-distance travel.

Although it was not impossible for him to forcibly incorporate Terran's Quyue technology, after silently estimating it in his mind, he found that the subspace technology seemed to be even better than Quyue.

At least that's the current technology.

After all, Terran's technology is just a younger version of their origin planet, Terra, and it will take years for the UED to travel across 16 light years.

Not to mention Terran, who has not yet figured out how to make money by eating Terra's old capital.

From a long-term perspective, Yan Luo will not give up his current advantages because of future dangers.

As a former war criminal...or more accurately, the ruler of the universe, he naturally wouldn't be too wary of those ancient beings in the virtual world.

Anyway, those guys are restricted and can't get out.

If they really come out...let's see how many divisions there are first.

However, since the four psychic vendors have appeared, there will definitely be ignorant civilizations that will come into contact with them in the future.

As a future response, Yan Luo still plans to set up a special agency to conduct special research and crack down on the four vendors, while setting up a cordon.

Information and knowledge can be trusted, but not completely.

After such a long time, Yan Luo had long realized that there was a certain gap between what he knew and the actual situation.

As a mature leader, Yan Luo would not confuse the previous games with today's reality.

"At the same time, you will lead a research team to conduct surveillance observation and research on the virtual realm." Yan Luo paused, as if thinking of something, and continued. "Remember not to reply to any unfamiliar messages. I will compile some special information and precautions for you to facilitate your research."

There was no big problem with Yan Luo's arrangement of the human figures.

After all, they don't quite understand the characteristics of the Psycho-Psycho Four, but as avid fans of humans, they are still quite determined to obey orders.

I believe that for a long time, the research on the human form of these ancient beings will not cross the red line set by Yan Luo.

"Then the next issue is to speed up our exploration of the universe." Yan Luo chose to end the conversation with the chief scientific researcher, and then he turned to the twins.

"Regarding recruiting Terrans to supplement our external exploration sequence, please do so as soon as possible."

If Yan Luo's prediction is correct, the universe may be very lively in the future.

If we continue with the current trend, all kinds of monsters and demons will appear.

Therefore, he began to have an urgent mentality about expanding his territory.

You know, even the universe has strategic depth.

Placing a sentry tower in an unexpected area can often bring more advantages to the Earth.

Yan Luo didn't want to be brought into the solar system without anyone noticing, as it would be too late to say anything by then.

Therefore, mobilizing experienced explorers has become his current option.

"By the way, if possible, place some humanoids into their team."

This should be considered a necessary vigilance. The mixing of humanoids and Terrans is, in a sense, a form of surveillance, which can effectively reduce some unrest.

It also allows the humanoids to learn more from them.

I believe that humanoids with mechanical attributes should be able to quickly summarize some experience through their excellent processors (brains).

As long as we accomplish these, we can cultivate some real professionals for exploring the Earth. The goal is simple: don't crash the boat.

Moreover, this move might even speed up the assimilation of the Terrans. Although... we cannot integrate physically, we can integrate culturally.

However, Yan Luo soon discovered that he had thought too simply.

After the Geminis turned around and began recruiting the Terrans, they immediately found that the resistance was quite high.

The main reason is that after settling down, the Terrans have basically started families and careers.

After the situation stabilized, they basically lost their previous adventurous and enterprising mentality, and most people only wanted to farm.

Although they may not have Earth's Celestial Empire bloodline, for some reason they have reached a consensus on cultural identity. (Note)

Therefore, looking at the recruitment plan that had made no progress for two consecutive days, Yan Luo's expression became a little tense.

He looked at the twins who asked him what to do next, pondered for a while, and finally made a decision.

"Put me in a corvée system!"

Note: Is it possible that this is because the author of the book is Chinese? (Official complaint)

Chapter 247: Humankind, please bless me.

"So you are the Imperial Army... Pah, you are the team sent by our Federation?"

The former bearded battlecruiser captain held his pipe in his mouth and exhaled a deep puff of smoke.

Although Yan Luo said that he wanted to replace the corvée system, it was actually just a joke.

However, after communication between the humanoids and the Terrans, the Earth side successfully persuaded the Terran refugees to send experienced personnel.

What is certain is that these adventurous practitioners are probably not entirely willing to do so.

After all, the good days haven't lasted for a few days, and who would be willing to go out and work hard before the newly settled mood has worn off?

And the more important issue is that there doesn't seem to be much benefit in working for a doll.

Although it is not very friendly to save them from danger, the Terrans need to eat.

This is mainly because of Yan Luo. Although he is the ruler of the entire earth, the limitations of human beings do not allow him to plan every aspect.

In fact, until now, the earth has not yet had a complete financial system.

After all, he was a half-baked monk, so what did he know about governing a country? The Earth's steady progress today is entirely due to the self-awareness of humanity.

As for the newly joined Terrans, without a trading system, the level of each colony was directly reduced to the ancient times, with goods being exchanged for goods.

Fortunately, they just want to eat their fill right now, so there hasn't been any major trouble.

In any case, since the value cannot be measured now, their enthusiasm is not too high.

The plan to recruit expedition teams with their own ships had to be put on hold.

However, since we cannot place the T-dolls in their fleet to learn experience, then we can place them in the T-doll team to pass on experience.

In short, the Earth has a number, and each colony just needs to gather the people.

That's why the puppet army's thunderous speech at the beginning, of course this could also be a problem with the translator...

"So where is your ship?" To be honest, the bearded captain was not unwilling to serve as a guide for the Earth.

At his age, according to Terrance's situation, he may no longer be able to pursue a large family, so he might as well make his last period of time full of passion.

So he should be considered one of the few people who are more or less willing.

Since the people who rescued them were in urgent need of a large number of experienced explorers, he didn't mind lending a hand.

Of course, forget about asking him to send out a ship. The Terrans themselves haven't even built up their own industrial system yet, so how could they have the spare energy?

"Isn't it already in front of you?" The doll responsible for picking him up was a male, but his name was not very important.

In addition to him, there should be two other humanoids. The three humanoids correspond to driving the ship, emergency repairs and learners respectively. The use of manpower can be said to be reduced to the extreme.

"S...you really didn't just modify a small cargo ship?" Captain Tyron actually saw the ship in front of him.

But at first he thought it was just a temporary transportation for the people coming to pick him up. After all, think about the decadent Terran Empire next door, where the old-fashioned scientific research ships were about three hundred meters long.

The Earth shouldn't be small, right?

But in fact...is this small boat less than 50 meters in front of him really used for exploration?

And why does the square shape seem to be used for convenient loading?

For a moment, the former captain of the Terran ship had a bad feeling.

However, considering that their current purpose is only to explore the outside world, there is actually not much difference between large and small boats, so he is not sure where this feeling comes from.

Then he soon discovered that the problem was really serious.

"Let's take a look at the star map. It looks like our next destination is several hundred light years away."

"Wait a minute, are you sure this is your star map? Why does it look a bit sloppy to me?"

Captain Tyron took a deep puff of his cigarette and asked a question.

To be honest, using cursive is still too conservative. If he had descendants, the hand-drawn pictures he drew when he was three years old would probably be better than this one.

Neither the x-axis nor the y-axis is clear, and all the labels are crammed together. Perhaps... his brain needs a powerful image processing to analyze the star map clearly.

The scene before him, like a scroll of hell, reminded him of the layer of painting that was once displayed in the museum and was drawn by Terran when he just returned to the universe.

Did the Earth Federation just break out of the atmosphere or did they hire some amateurs to draw the pictures?

"We haven't yet conducted an on-site survey of our destination. This star map is just a temporary one, created using the first probe we launched. It's understandable that it's a bit sketchy. A detailed version won't be available until we complete our investigation..."

The captain didn't hear the last word because it was dragged out for so long.

However, he did feel that what the humanoid said made some sense. If the detector was useful without field investigation, why would they need an exploration team? He just believed it for now.

But what really terrified him was that when he entered the so-called subspace channel of the humanoid, he saw the driver next to him cutting out rows of projections with words on them, muttering to himself while driving.

"When entering the subspace, avoid the area that looks like a blue storm. Strictly record the time and distance you travel in the subspace. After converting it to the outside world, you can immediately jump out and reach your exact destination. I think I know how to use it."

"Excuse me..." Captain Tyron could no longer smoke. He peered through the observation hole at the glittering, yellow universe outside. He began to feel uneasy, and his hand on his pipe began to tremble. "Are you reading the manual on site?"

"Well, that's about right. After all, this long-distance navigation technology was only recently developed. Most of us haven't used it yet, so we can only practice on the spot."

"Can I ask about the experimental survival rate of this technology? Well, it's not that I don't trust our Federation technology, I just want to know its specific data. Of course, if it's too confidential, I won't ask."

"It's not something too secretive. It happened only twice, and one of them seemed to be a plane crash on a research vessel."

"Damn it!" Even inside the temperature-controlled ship, the captain felt his breath shivering and his hands and feet were cold. He will look for the original text and imagine it himself later.

In short, he now really doesn't understand who gave the humanoid the courage to directly apply a technology that has not yet been fully secured.

Aren't these guys afraid of something happening? Are your lives worthless?

Recalling everything that had happened after he boarded the ship, he finally understood what it meant to bring in new people (the Earth Recruitment Office's external statement).

This guy is really too new. He just wants to get off the boat and run away, or find a god to protect him.
