Stellaris from the Automata Era

Yan Luo was still quite conflicted about this situation. In a certain sense, the humanoids were natural allies, but whether the humanoids succeeded in capturing the factory or the mechanical lifeforms defended the factory, it would not be good for him.

The most favorable situation now is that the humanoids failed to successfully seize the factory, but the strength of the mechanical life was greatly weakened, and then he could pick the peaches directly.

As for whether he would be exposed after occupying the factory.

He hasn't thought much about this issue yet.

"What time? When?"

"A month. The camp has already started gathering nearby humanoids. They should be planning to secure the frontline position before the official attack."

"No wonder Popola keeps saying there's been a lot of humanoid activity around here lately."

Where is the front line of the factory?

Yan Luo is here!

Apparently, the commotion caused when building the house some time ago made the humanoid see the possibility of completely expelling the round-headed creature.

After many attempts, they may have made up their minds to launch a large-scale battle.

Perhaps their previous tentative attack on the factory was also a prelude to the big battle a month later.

In this case...

"Time is running out." Yan Luo hurriedly ate the food in his hand. "We may need to speed up the process and work overtime today."

"Please rest on time. I will supervise you."

Of course, Divara would not agree with Yan Luo's decision today. In her eyes, good health of human beings is the most important thing.

Unfortunately, due to underlying agreements and various other reasons, she was unable to make her supervision more practical.

After all, forcing Yan Luo to hibernate and maintain a healthy body was something she had never dared to imagine.

Therefore, she can only speak verbally.

In fact, as long as Yan Luo gave any instructions, he could get her out of the way and continue his 007 career.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take responsibility for my own health."

Chapter 21: Prelude to the Raiders

The drill clicked.

Divara and Bopora stared at each other in front of the tunnel dug by the crude machinery.

They have been supervising these simple intelligent machines for a long time, which led to Popola, who rarely went to the resistance camp today, seriously suspecting that Yan Luo was just finding a random excuse to get them away.

"Don't doubt it, the master just wants to get us out of the way." As a member of the same type, Divara naturally understood her sister's underlying thoughts. After a moment's hesitation, she decided to explain. "Before you came back, he was still considering whether to work overtime."

"..."

Bobo La had to admit that after spending these days together, the Creator's full devotion did have a unique charm, especially when he was so absorbed in his work that he forgot to eat and sleep.

After all, due to historical reasons, the humanoids probably have a strange obsession with humans, to the extent that as long as they are human... they are acceptable. With this idea in mind, Yan Luo distorts and beautifies any of his actions.

However, beautification is one aspect, but now it makes it difficult for them to do this kind of model.

Bobo La has already begun to think about what kind of advice can make humans pay attention to their own health and daily routines.

"Don't worry, the master had already rested when I came."

"You... don't think he'll go set up his own production line once we get here?"

"No, he probably doesn't have the energy."

"That's good...wait? How did you do that?"

Bobola looked the sisters up and down.

There are many ways to get humans to rest, but without considering coercive measures, the only way to do it is to make humans lose their physical strength, and without physical strength...

Bobo La tried her best to increase the sensitivity of her sense of smell in the system, trying to detect the scent of stone magnolia in the air.

Obviously her spell was interrupted.

"what's on your mind?!"

"That's probably what you're thinking now."

The good thing about sisters is that they can understand each other without words.

"No! It's the wine! The master drank and fell asleep on the bed!"

That's it.

Boppola turned her head with some regret. In fact, if her sister was really so bold, she would probably have to consider whether she should just go ahead and do it.

It is undeniable that Yan Luo’s views on them may be somewhat wrong.

He had previously thought that Gemini was incredibly loyal to him for some reason, and he might not have been wrong.

It's just that loyalty has turned sour.

Gemini never denies their emotions.

This started to accumulate as they kept moving from one safe camp to another around the world, and began to erupt when they met Yan Luo.

The existence of humans is the source of the collapse of their systems.

Being able to meet and survive with humans again is a dream they dare not imagine, and this is also what Yan Luo believes is the essence of their awakening and sublimation.

Of course...now that it has come to this point, their system can be said to be locked.

After all, the first thing is really important.

"Instead of daydreaming, why not consider expanding your menu? My Lord has complained countless times that he can't find any other dishes besides meat."

"But now all you see outside are apples, and the problem is not yet ripe."

Ugh...

Divara obviously had no intention of making things difficult for Bobola, and she also knew that this problem could not be improved in a short period of time.

She even suspected that even though Yan Luo had built the hydroponic farm, he might still be in an awkward situation of having no vegetables to grow because he had no seeds.

That was the end of the conversation between the two sisters.

The excavators worked for an unknown amount of time. After the drill hit a thick steel wall, as sparks continued to fly, Divara and Popola showed incredible expressions at the same time.

"Is this the underground outer wall of the factory? Map..."

"Yes, the map shows that we are in the underground area of ​​the factory."

How wonderful.

The task given to them by Yan Luo was to dig a passage leading to the underground of the factory.

Considering that it would be inconvenient for them to be exposed on the ground, Yan Luo came up with a compromise solution, which was to directly open a road that went through the interior of the factory.

Seize the factory from inside when the humanoids attack.

In fact, they did not have high expectations at the beginning. After all, the vibration caused by mechanical underground operations would not be too small.

Moreover, the various strange models of mechanical life are not just for decoration.

They had even prepared measures in case the mechanical lifeforms counterattacked them halfway through the excavation.

It just went surprisingly smoothly, as if something invisible was pushing it forward.

"I can't believe it. Maybe the Lord can really seize the factory."

"What should we do now? Should we wake the adults?"

For a moment, the two sisters seemed to be entangled in some important matter.

.......

When Yan Luo woke up, he still felt a little dizzy. He knew that this was a typical symptom of a hangover.

This is not because he has recently changed his personality and become addicted to alcohol.

But the wine that Divara gave him...was sweet! Sweet! Sweet!

Yes, he could still remember smelling a faint floral scent before he felt dizzy. It was obvious that the raw material of the wine was some unknown flower.

For Yan Luo, who only sees meat for three meals a day, the lethality of this thing can be imagined.

After all, everyone is a potential diabetic patient.

So he drank it all like a bottle of happy water. Even now, he seems to still remember the distressed expression on Divara's face when she looked at him. It must be because he stole her drink...

But he was not the type who was good at drinking, and he fell down after taking a gulp.

"Have you dug up to the outer wall of the factory? So fast?"

Yan Luo was somewhat surprised himself, as he had not really intended to launch an underground surprise attack.

In fact, he is still thinking about how he should take advantage of the opportunity when the humanoids attack the factory. Letting the twins to supervise the excavation progress is just to make his 007 mission more successful.

But he didn't expect that he would collapse after drinking a lot of alcohol, and the unexpected passage was almost dug through! ?

"It's actually going quite smoothly. We've already stopped the project there," Popola said, trying to be concise as she reported on the progress. "I've assigned Diwala to monitor the situation there."

"You are right."

Yan Luo was quite glad that he had asked Gemini to supervise the excavation process.

Otherwise, if those simple intelligences continue to work, they will probably break through the outer wall all at once.

Then it would not be a surprise attack plan, but a head-on confrontation with the massive number of round-headed people inside who had noticed the problem. Given their current unprepared state, they might be pushed over by others right away.

"Now that the passage has been opened, we need to speed up the rest of our preparations."

What's missing now?

Rally the troops!

Storm the troops!

Chapter 22: Despicable humans appear inside the factory!

Storm the troops!

Although Yan Luo's idea was correct, he knew from the beginning in the desert that he had some talent in designing robots. After all, he was a self-aware person.

Even if there is a ready-made reference design of a controllable humanoid Yan Luo, considering that the humanoid itself is a high-tech, high-value, and high-quality product, and there is no hope of imitating it even with the voluntary cooperation of Gemini, unilaterally announcing that the humanoid does not conform to his values ​​in terms of cost-effectiveness does not conform to his values.

In reality, the level of humanoid manufacturing was indeed somewhat beyond the scope of the standard. This might even involve the use of idealistic things like magic elements. The required technology was beyond the capabilities of a 21st-century person like him, using scientific concepts that were over 12000 years behind him. (In Niel's time, it was over AD.)

Therefore, after rejecting all plans to copy humanoids, he finally launched a mechanical and machine gun attack model that belonged to the concepts of his own time.

I won't go into detail about the appearance of this type of model. Anyway, the only thing to understand is that it has legs added to the machine gun....

What a genius idea..

However, we have to admit that this design is simple and easy to use.

Of course, the actual effect may not be known until the day of actual combat.

"How many of those machine guns have been produced in Popola?"

"After tonight, it'll be about three hundred."

Three hundred...is not a lot, because there is less than half a month left until the humanoids' attack plan.

Yan Luo understood that these current quantities were not the actual production capacity of the base. Due to a number of reasons such as limited materials, the production speed of machine guns had always been slow.

On the contrary, sometimes in order to widen channels and production lines, there will be a phenomenon of grabbing materials.

In addition, the round-headed creatures on the ground seemed to sense that something big was happening and had retreated into their daily activities, making the situation even worse for Yan Luo, who was already not wealthy.

Now he couldn't even find a 'friendly' way to communicate with the round head and get what he wanted.

If this continues, he doesn't know if he can mobilize a thousand people when the humanoids attack.

"Please stop all other projects and focus on the production of the machine guns."

Bobola agreed with this order.

Perhaps because she has spent too much time in contact with humans, her concepts have undergone some unknown changes.

Perhaps the mechanical life in the desert left a deep impression on her. Faced with the noble air force and unstoppable range, her sword also felt deeply powerless.

Times have changed again...

This is the truth she can understand now.
