Stellaris from the Automata Era

Well, Kepler-62e in Lyrae is 3000 light-years away, which is neither far nor near.

With the current technology on Earth, it may take more than half a year to cross the river, and a round trip may take more than a year.

From the perspective of efficiency, picking it up yourself may not be a wise choice.

Since the other party is a degenerate anyway, let them deliver the goods to your door.

"Well, it's not a problem for us to come... But don't be too surprised then." When Yan Luo gave this answer, it was obvious that the cute cat leader had some concerns.

As what she called revenge, this might be the first time Hong played a riddle on Yan Luo.

It seems that the intelligent machine is not without temper.

Then Yan Luo quickly understood what the so-called surprise was.

Perhaps they have sufficiently advanced navigation technology to deal with the fall. Even if there are changes in the universe, relying on their previous foundation, they should not be unable to move forward.

In fact, just over a month later, the humanoid reported to Yan Luo that there were signs of jumps around the solar system.

By the time the Earth accurately located the jump ship, a frigate-class ship had already met with a cruising fleet near the solar system.

"May the glory of mankind last forever (Neil's words)." The sound of a mechanical machine mixed with electronic music came from the image of the external frigate, but what was shown was indeed a humanoid life with fox ears.

Very good, it seems that the population diversity of Maomeng can be expanded further.

However, these words, which sounded like a secret code, won the favor of the cruising humanoid.

The most notable example is that the gun muzzles of those cruisers have been dimmed, thus avoiding a diplomatic incident.

Afterwards, with various complicated operations, Yan Luo was very sure of the identity of the visiting frigate.

Mao Meng's express ship.

Well, there is nothing wrong with this statement, it is the fact anyway.

What you need to do next is very simple.

"Bring it to Earth."

Originally, the offline meeting between the two parties should have been perfect at this point, but as expected, something unexpected happened.

"Sir... Mao Meng's ship crashed."

"???"

To be precise, Yan Luo didn't even know whether it was a unilateral accident.

The original idea and process should be that Mao Meng's ship was taken to the Earth's orbit, and then entered the atmosphere through a shuttle to complete the handover process.

After all, it is actually very difficult for a spacecraft that can enter space to travel through the atmosphere at the same time. This is not impossible for a civilization with the corresponding technology.

But it is not cost-effective. If you want this extra function, you will have to spend more effort on the design of the ship, and you may also have to sacrifice other functions.

Therefore, unless there are special operational requirements, such as scientific research vessels, few ships will enter the atmosphere.

But Mao Meng's frigate...had a problem above the Earth's orbit.

According to the final image, the moment Mao Meng's ship entered orbit, an explosion reaction obviously occurred at the thruster position.

Then it was pushed directly into the range of the Earth's gravity by the remaining force and plunged into the atmosphere.

According to video evidence provided by ground observation stations, an alien spacecraft was performing irregular Brownian motion in the high school, and the pilot seemed to be trying very hard to find a glimmer of hope.

However, when Yan Luo rushed to the scene to investigate, he could only see a pool of steel wreckage.

It seems that even the most advanced technology in the world cannot overcome the soul being bound by gravity.

"Sir! What should we do now?" Because Yan Luo came to check in person, Youerha, as a royal guard, would naturally follow him, but according to the current combat power ranking, there seemed to be an extra shameful character in the team.

Perhaps because of his own personality, the newly joined 11b boldly approached the wreckage. After casually sweeping a few pieces of discarded steel with his sword, he turned around and asked Yan Luo.

As for her question that went straight to the heart, Yan Luo could only express confusion.

To be honest, if Yan Luo turned around and called Mao Meng to repeat the situation, he didn't know whether the other party would believe it.

After all, the incident was too coincidental. If there was no video recording, Yan Luo would have suspected that it was an accidental discharge on his side that shot down the other party.

But the problem is that this situation has obviously risen to the diplomatic level. Considering various factors...

Mao Meng is actually here to scam people, right?

"I was careless." Yan Luo had to guess with the greatest malice that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this.

After all, a country on the other side of the ocean only had the excuse and qualifications to join the war after a fierce battle.

My thoughts are in a mess right now and this is the only situation I can think of.

Fortunately, after a while of fighting wits and courage with the air amidst various complicated guesses, Yan Luo quickly came to his senses.

Since his two most capable humanoids, Bobola and Divara, were still in a distant palace dealing with some matters, Yan Luo could only give orders to the humanoids on the scene in person.

"Everyone immediately cleaned up the scene, removed all debris, and restored all surrounding flowers and plants."

As for Mao Meng, it seems that we have to express our strong condemnation and wonder why the express delivery hasn't arrived after such a long time.

The only pity is that the Earth has not yet invented the technology to clean up traces of superluminal movement, otherwise it would be able to perfectly hide the crime scene.

Now we can only hope that our countries have not yet crossed the border and Mao Meng cannot effectively investigate the accident.

Of course, after doing so much, Yan Luo soon discovered that it was actually not of much use.

When the humanoid was removing all the broken scrap metal, a round object was found in the wreckage of the spacecraft.

It looks like the head part of a robot.

What's even more troublesome is that just when the humanoid was about to clean it up, this thing seemed to sense the danger and made an electronic mechanical sound with a strong desire to survive.

"Wait, I can still save him!"

Damn, there are actually living witnesses.

ps: According to the latest information, the real dimension will enter the Creator's Winter after two planets' autobiography days. The judges of the cat station seem to be taking new actions again. In view of the current situation, the superiors recommend raising the concealment value (fan speech value) of each observer. Before the judges leave, I'm afraid you will all suffer. Good night.

Chapter 256: I would call it a win-win situation

"Thank you very much. Ever since the mathematics of the universe literally changed, our spacecraft has been having minor glitches. Who on earth suggested using explosive pellets as a propulsion reactor energy source?"

Of course, after thinking for a few seconds, Yan Luo still didn't do something like killing to silence the witness.

And judging from the subsequent developments, it seems that this is not necessary. Mao Meng's intelligent machine is indeed the top technology of the fallen civilization. Even if it was blown to the point where only a head was left, it still survived tenaciously.

The only trouble is that they should be considered humanoids in another sense, but they are materialistic.

The Earth's current technological level does not seem to be enough to repair its body.

After thinking for a while, he simply gave it a try. Judging from the final result, the matching rate between the mechanical life form and it was even higher.

Now everyone knows who is more scientific, right?

"Hmm, my mobility seems to have decreased significantly. The response to commands from various parts of my body is 30% slower. Can your ordinary industrial robots on Earth really do anything?"

The cute cat-like intelligent machine waved its hands and looked in front of its eyes for a while. After removing its round head and replacing it with a fox-ear head, the overall picture looked a bit funny.

In fact, even the mechanical life form with the highest matching rate just made it fall flat on its face while walking. The reason was that the cute cat-like intelligent machine really could not master the movement mode of the mechanical life form.

"Mechanical life is not an industrial robot."

"I know, it's a war machine, right? It's shown in the information about you, but my short-legged basic type isn't suitable for combat, right?"

Indeed, but that is a cannon fodder unit, a combat type.

The old tank-infantry coordination is that the tank helps the infantry resist damage, while the advanced tank-infantry coordination is that the infantry is responsible for resisting damage.

In today's cosmic age, mechanical life increasingly realizes that it may still need some cannon fodder.

After all, facing the momentum of a large and dense formation of people, who do you think the enemy ground defense artillery will hit first?

The targets with more people or larger bodies will be the priority targets for concentrated fire!

"Never mind, I don't really have a choice. Your Earth's tech tree is just ridiculous..." The cat-like omnic paused, its prosthetic eye drawn to something it suddenly saw. "Don't you still have normal mechanical units?"

It should be referring to the humanoid being used as an industrial robot on an assembly line, the kind with guns and tools that Yan Luo designed in the factory in the early days.

After Yan fell into the main earth, the humanoid took over the entire technological line.

However, in terms of performance, they may not be able to compare with the oldest humanoids at that time, but using them as assembly line workers is more practical than using humanoids to do work.

Because of their special nature, the humanoids did not initially think of using them as backup bodies for the cute cat-like intelligent machines.

Now it seems that there are other options besides mechanical life.

So after much piecing together, the omnic finally got a normal body.

What’s even more wonderful is that because they are truly based on basic science, these early industrial robots and intelligent machines are a perfect match.

even..

"It's even better than the one I had before!" The bitterness of fall seems difficult to describe in words.

Maybe Yan Luo is lacking in materials science, but his technology is based on the physical engine of the universe.

On the other hand, because the cute cats already have experience and background, when they enter the new universe, it is like they are learning from a master. The master of the universe has taught them everything.

Various techniques and experiences are watching them with an expression that can only be understood but not expressed in words.

Therefore, this becomes a painful process. You have to know that science was originally built up from generation to generation using wisdom when life was still in the monkey (human version).

Any mistake in any link will lead to disastrous consequences.

If it is really difficult to understand, you can take a look at the programmer's ancestral code.

Anyway, I know there is a problem with the code, but I don’t know which part is the problem! ?

Faced with the changing times, even with Annotated Maomeng, he can no longer maintain his technological empire. After all, those are all outdated things.

In the words of the omnics themselves, "We'd be thankful if our own bodies could even be 50% reliable."

It's so sad that it makes anyone who sees it cry.

After a little tidying up, Mao Meng's intelligent machine finally recovered from the sad memories.

Now it just wants to return to its home planet immediately and show its compatriots the technology of its new body.

Perhaps the advanced elements in them are not too high, but the technological routes and ideas are the valuable assets they need most.

Just by comparing them with their original technology, they can immediately replace a large amount of outdated science.

Fortunately, this omnic whose cup was starting to heat up still remembered that he came here with his responsibilities.

After reconfirming that it could function normally, it immediately asked the humanoid to take it to an audience with Yan Luo.

However, when Yan Luo saw this intelligent robot again, he felt that this audience process seemed a bit redundant.

While cleaning up the wreckage of Mao Meng's ship, Yan Luo had already found the express items they needed to deliver.

Because Mao Meng attached great importance to this matter, they used a special alloy that had never been seen on Earth to create a square secret box. It was the only one that was well preserved among the wreckage of the ship.

It was obviously telling Yan Luo who the main target was.

Now that the things are in Yan Luo's hands, Mao Meng should have completed the task perfectly and can leave.

Of course, the purpose of Mao Meng’s visit may not be this.

"Your Majesty (the title used during the Imperial era), my spaceship has exploded. Could you please send me a transport ship so I can return home?"

Good guy..

Yan Luo indeed forgot that the return of the intelligent machines was also a huge problem.

But why did he always feel that his technology was being taken advantage of? Although the transport was a civilian vessel, it seemed that it could also bring considerable inspiration to the corrupt person next to it.

But the problem is that Yan Luo may not be able to refuse.

Damn...could this be part of Mao Meng’s plan?

"Forget it." Yan Luo responded helplessly. "I'll have someone prepare it for you."

I just hope Mao Meng doesn't look at the magic reactor and angel characters on the transport ship with a look of confusion on his face.

As for now, let's just treat it as a part of scientific research cooperation. After all, their spacecraft wreckage seems to have a lot of research value.

I just don't know if I can get the three-piece dark matter set from here.
