Stellaris from the Automata Era

"The Cosmic Dream Strike Fleet will bring victory to the United Group!"

It seems that the slime is ready for battle with full confidence.

And the Earth next door...

After three months of anxiety, Yan Luo finally got through his weakest period.

The three fleets of mechanical life have been modified specifically and are now estimated to be halfway to the front line.

To be honest, these past three months had made him a little uneasy, fearing that he would hear a fleet from the neighboring civilization approaching his doorstep in the next second.

Even when he was eating, he would complain about this to the humanoids around him.

"You know what? In my dreams, the enemy team fought all the way to Earth's orbit, and then suddenly it started snowing heavily in the universe."

"Winter is coming, right?" Since the humanoids have more channels and time to organize the data of the earth's past after the peace, the Geminis still understand some of the jokes.

After all, from a textual perspective, the amount of knowledge stored in Asia has always been considerable.

However, this strange description still forced Popola to respond.

"Sir, do you have so little confidence in our fleet? If they want to reach Earth orbit, they'll have to get past the main fleet first."

"But from another perspective, isn't the snow a full-scale counterattack?" Following Popola's lead, Diwala saw the situation from a different perspective. "Thinking about it this way, doesn't the Lord still have confidence in us?"

Hearing such remarks, Bobo La immediately glanced at her sisters with an expression that said, "Think about it carefully."

"But the problem is, they've already reached Earth orbit, and the main fleet is probably gone. Given our current situation as humanoids, who do you think will launch a self-defense counterattack?"

"That's about mechanical life." Divara came to her senses in an instant after being reminded of this.

"Sir! Do you really have so little confidence in us humanoids?"

Why do you take it so far?

Yan Luo, who was just complaining about his thoughts in the dream, was a little confused for a moment. He didn't expect Gemini to raise the issue to such a high level.

Seeing that both twins looked like they needed an explanation, Yan Luo could only find a way to divert their attention.

"Don't make trouble, A2 is watching. I'll get back to you tonight."

The abrupt and forced change of topic instantly drew the twins' gazes to A2, who had been standing by as a close guard.

After the two of them looked at each other carefully, they adjusted their gazes nonchalantly.

"It's okay, we're one family."

"A2 has also worked hard, so let's just..."

"??"

Wait a minute, this kind of thing that can only be put in extra chapters is not suitable for the current scene, and continuing it will easily cause an accident that permanently explodes the universe.

Fortunately, when A2 was also full of doubts, a savior came from the next galaxy.

"The fleet of an unknown civilization is attacking."

When the news came out, which was not sure whether it was a blessing or a loss, Yan Luo immediately stood up from the dinner table.

Then he walked quickly towards the meeting room.

When Yan Luo hurriedly rushed to the meeting room, he found that everyone else had already taken their seats.

Before everyone wanted to stand up and salute Yan Luo, he waved his hand to end this unnecessary courtesy.

"How's it going?"

"The battle is still going on, but I'm afraid the fleet over there won't be able to hold out for much longer."

"Show me the projection."

Obviously, the mechanical fleet on the front line cannot effectively stop the slime. After all, the real warship fleet of the earth is still halfway.

Judging by the time, we have probably just reached the first galaxy.

It would be difficult to confront these outdated machines head-on unless something unexpected happened.

The moment the projection appeared, Yan Luo was shocked by the experience of a real battleship duel.

Tens of thousands of warships were pouring out their cannon fodder at a distance that could be said to be face-to-face.

Energy and kinetic energy intertwine, kicking off the blockbuster.

"Something's wrong.. They seem a little weak."

However, Yan Luo keenly noticed the incoordination in the battle between the warships based on the effective intelligence obtained from previous reconnaissance and combat.

The main means of attack of the unknown civilization is kinetic artillery. In a head-on confrontation, the Earth does have a slight advantage, but with the help of shields, there is not much obvious difference between the two sides, and it is even at a disadvantage.

What really surprised Yan Luo was that the battlefield was clearly in a tense situation.

This was a different result from the previous one where half of the enemy's warships were destroyed in one round of salvos.

"Ruler, our hit rate is 5%. The enemy... has some problems."

Five percent? The enemy has really become weaker!

What is the probability of five percent?

On Earth, it is only slightly higher than the level of World War II, but after entering the 21st century, modern traditional artillery no longer counts this thing.

"They don't have auxiliary artillery?" Yan Luo shouted in surprise at first, then quickly ruled out this possibility.

The reverse analysis of the wreckage of an unknown civilization once showed that the other party did have a complete war technology line.

The current scene is very intriguing, and then Yan Luo quickly thought of a possibility.

"N2 orders your fleet to close the distance. How close? Literally close to the face!"

Yan Luo's decision was bold. If the distance between the fleets was to be shortened, it would also mean that the mechanical fleet had to move in a straight line under the opposing artillery fire.

Especially when the mechanical fleet is composed entirely of small ships, their hulls and damage resistance make this a dangerous move, and they might all be killed on the way to the charge.

But out of trust in Yan Luo, N2 did not have any objections and quickly and faithfully carried out the instructions.

However, the sudden strange behavior of the earth seemed to cause considerable panic to the slime.

Only after the mechanical fleet approached did they hurriedly maneuver, trying to keep a distance from the mechanical fleet.

I don't know if it was because they were too hasty, but the slime fleet seemed to have a collision between two ships.
