Stellaris from the Automata Era

She...or rather, she felt that humans needed stronger, larger, and more terrifying firepower to protect them, and that traditional knives and swords were indeed not enough.

Of course, although the plan was to fully guarantee the operation of the machine gun production line, they found that this was simply impossible after some operations.

After all, besides the cannons... they also need to produce ammunition. Yes! These things also require a complete logistics support system to ensure their firepower! Otherwise, with the appearance of these cannons, once they run out of ammunition, they will just be round-headed punching bags for testing the power of flying kicks!

Yan Luo even seemed to be designing a special ammunition loading machine to ensure stable output.

You can't just put bayonets on them and expect them to charge at the critical moment... It seems... But?

In short, after all the operations, Yan Luo still desperately continued production at the original speed.

This also resulted in the fact that on the last day of his humanoid attack plan, the number of his machine guns was barely over 500, and his sudden attack failed miserably.

Just when Yan Luo was lamenting that time was running out, the battle on the ground between the humanoid resistance army and the mechanical life forms had reached a tense state.

The humanoid decision-makers have never concealed their intention to attack, and this is actually impossible to conceal.

Their continuous preparations for capturing the factory have more or less exposed their purpose.

And it just so happens... whether it is human or mechanical life, they all rely on calculations to make a living... This situation can be figured out by repeated calculations.

Although it is still unclear what the decision-making level of the mechanical life forms is, if they are a loose group, then the humanoids who have been fighting them for thousands of years can simply commit suicide by self-destructing their cores out of shame.

'boom'

It doesn’t really matter how the war started. When the first machine exploded, both sides had already entered a white-hot stage.

The humanoids who chanted "Glory to humanity forever" and the mechanical life forms whose purpose was still unknown set the tone of fighting for this land from the moment they were born.

Now only the cooling water and oil in both parties' bodies can cool their burning cores.

"Get through."

While the killing was going on on the ground, Yan Luo naturally followed his own plan.

As the excavator's drill opened the factory's outer wall, the spacious interior and pools the size of four or five football fields, churning with red juice, unfolded before him.

“There’s even a smelting pool.”

He exclaimed.

He was not wrong in his guess. This was a complex factory that integrated mining, refining and manufacturing.

The value of occupying this place completely exceeded his expectations.

As long as he took control of this place, his meager production line would be fed instantly, but before he could claim his dominance here, he still needed to clean out the round heads inside.

Just as he had planned, the battle on the ground absorbed most of the mechanical life forms' attention.

But this does not mean that there are no other traces of round heads inside the factory. When they explored a room-like place, the scene before them instantly made the twins who were accompanying them solemn.

“This is a round-head production line!”

Stamping, assembly, production.

When a round-headed man came out, Yan Luo didn't need Gemini to remind him of the function of this area.

Obviously, Round Head did not expect that there were machines inside his house that did not belong to him.

The humanized blinking operation at the first moment of production also paused for a moment, and then as if there was a problem with consciousness, the orange-yellow eyes turned red, but before it could make any other reactions, it was chopped into two by the advancing Divara.

Then a chain reaction occurred.

"Enemy attack, attack."

First, the machine guns at the end of the team opened fire. Yan Luo equipped them with voice and a certain degree of intelligence. It was obvious that they had encountered an attack from the round-headed monsters.

Then it developed into machine guns firing from all directions, accompanied by the sound of the round head's mechanical feet touching the ground and jumping continuously.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Sir! The second one!"

Another newly born round head was chopped to pieces by Divara.

"Is this production speed a joke?"

too fast!

Another machine is produced in less than a minute. Yan Luo has reason to believe that this room is just one of the Round Head production lines.

He suddenly understood why the advantage of round heads has always been quantity.

"Poppola, deploy the printer! We have ample resources here! Now we can only fight numbers with numbers before we are overwhelmed!"

Chapter 23: Arrogant humans are attacking from within!

"Poppola, deploy the printer! We have ample resources here! Now we can only fight numbers with numbers before we are overwhelmed!"

For the first time, Bobo La had doubts. As Yan Luo's temporary assistant, she understood clearly that the so-called printer was a mobile base on the front lines, but once deployed, it was virtually impossible to move again. This was also why, after producing 300 machine guns in the first half of the month, the number decreased after production capacity was adjusted in the second half.

Some of the materials were stolen again.

The human's order seemed to mean a fight to the death inside the factory. She subconsciously wanted to refuse to carry it out. Based on her current logic, the safest way would be to retreat directly to the base and blow up the passage.

"Unfold the printer now? My Lord! Given the current situation, we should just retreat back to base."

"I know! But listen to the sounds around you! I'm sure there are round heads everywhere! There's probably no way back!"

The sound of machine gun firing was still vibrating with no signs of stopping in the short term. In terms of caliber, the firepower of the machine gun was enough to defeat small-scale mechanical life forms, but the continuous sound clearly told everyone that the number outside was definitely not that simple!

I'm afraid that when they were discovered by the first round-head, the internal network of the mechanical life form exploded. Obviously, the opposing team gathered a large number of troops to eliminate the enemies that appeared inside.

It was only then that the Geminis realized the seriousness of the problem. Their own models did not have long-term computing capabilities, and they did not have many options to choose from. They could either act decisively and drag humans all the way back to the original channel, or... become an extension of human will.

"May the glory of mankind last forever."

They ultimately decided to be the latter.

Four machines were rapidly deployed inside the room. With the help of Divara, the original round-head assembler was violently dismantled, and the parts of the conveyor belt were directly integrated into the disassembler that had just been deployed by the printer. After that, the materials were supplied and the assembly began.

The assembly of the simple robot production line begins! The assembly of the simple ammunition production line begins! Simple...

then.

“More minerals are needed.”

"I shouldn't have used this for voice."

Yan Luo felt his blood pressure rising.

Of course, he was sure that most of the reason for this high blood pressure was due to the rapid increase in the number of round heads around him.

He knew that his decision was very rash, but the reality did not allow him to have any extra thoughts.

"I hope the humanoid resistance outside can help and share some of the pressure."

At this time, the humanoid resistance army that Yan Luo had placed high hopes on had indeed broken through the round-headed formation outside the factory.

In fact, when the war reached the middle part, the humanoids clearly felt that the number of mechanical life forms had dropped sharply.

Although the reason was unknown, it did not prevent the resistance army command from making a prompt decision and launching an all-out offensive, intending to wipe out all the round-headed people on the ground in one go, and the effect was obvious.

As the battle continued, the mechanical life forms, which no longer had an absolute advantage in numbers, suddenly became weak, and the humanoid forms, which already had strong basic quality, instantly took over.

The battlefield entered a complete massacre in the later stages. There was even a rare situation where the humans outnumbered the enemy. The ground seemed to be completely under their control.

But it just seems...

"what is that?"

A piercing roar filled the entire arena, and then several cylindrical objects with crimson tails appeared in mid-air and quickly pounced towards the battlefield. The moment they appeared, they were captured by the humanoids' vision.

"It's a missile! Damn it, find cover!"

Naturally, there were humanoids on the field who recognized this thing.

Firearms are now out of the spotlight simply because of their small caliber. Larger caliber weapons are still in regular service with the humanoid forces. Obviously, the resistance isn't considered a regular army unit...

The sudden intruder cast a shadow over the previously established situation. A round of missiles slammed directly into the ground, and the intense fire and explosion instantly disrupted the humanoid form.

If you are lucky, you are out of the range of the missile's power. If you are unlucky, you have been scrapped or severely damaged.

"Is this coming towards us? Who is the enemy?"

Almost all the humanoids present fell into intense self-doubt. Mechanical life forms have always been good at using energy weapons. That missile just now... looked like it was fired by one of our own!

As they were thinking this, a huge machine appeared behind the factory.

It was so huge that even from the perspective of the humanoids, the factory in a straight line with it could not block its presence.

"Mechanical life..."

The large mechanical lifeform stood, missiles spewing out from behind it.

........

Yan Luo didn't realize that the round heads on the ground had completely retreated, so he planned to first eliminate all the rats that appeared inside. He still believed that in the face of the humanoid's onslaught, the mechanical lifeforms still had a large enough number to counterattack.

The battle situation seems to be too unfavorable for Yan Luo.

Fortunately, with the completion of the printer and sufficient supply of materials around, Yan Luo quickly assembled a new force with a large number of machine guns!

"Enemy spotted! No ammunition! No logistics machinery signals nearby, bayonets fixed, charge!"

Yan Luo still installed a bayonet on the machine gun...and of course also added the logic of using the bayonet to the simple machines.

However, in this way, the machine guns have almost become disposable consumables. Obviously, in the current situation, they are better than some machines that rely on kinetic energy to launch a long live charge.

Yan Luo needed some machine guns that could retreat to the rear to change ammunition and then come back to fire shells normally.

Naturally, in this case, he didn't expect the artificial idiot he created to mature on his own... so he needed a frontline commander...

"I'm Divara, sir, and I need a new batch of machine guns."

Holding the walkie-talkie in hand, Diwara made her request.

This kind of scenario has actually happened more than ten times.

In fact, although Divara is the front-line commander, it is just a nice way of saying it. Her real responsibility is to stop these idiots when they launch a charge and reduce losses!

To do this, she needs to keep running around the battlefield.

"I understand... the new one will be here soon..."

The quality of the walkie-talkie made by Yan Luo doesn't seem to be very good... The current of bilibili greatly affects the accurate communication of meaning, but considering it is a temporary manufacture, it is enough to be able to convey basic messages.

"Next, I will stop you from moving forward until new machine guns arrive."

Divala, the 'frontline commander', seems to be trying to fill the gaps in the battle line...

To be honest, if the Geminis hadn't strongly requested that Yan Luo must be accompanied by someone, the two humanoids would have been sent to the front to make full use of their resources.

Chapter 24: The Great Human Beings Moved into the Factory...Part 1

Yan Luo did feel short-staffed.

This person is someone who can think independently! He is not a cannon fodder like a machine gun!

In fact, the war situation has been improving since the printer was deployed to the front line to provide supplies. According to Yan Luo himself, what he lacked was materials.

After he diverted the production line originally used to produce round heads, his war potential was unleashed.

In terms of the number of machine guns deployed, the number of localized clashes could even reach a staggering one-to-one ratio with the round-headed ones. Of course, this was probably due to the complex traffic environment within the factory.

The strange terrain of stairs, narrow passages and silos restricted the mechanical life forms, making it impossible for them to deploy their actual military forces in front of Yan Luo.

Furthermore, most of those round-headed creatures had short arms and legs, and their means of attack were limited to flying kicks and spinning arms to deliver a 10-ton high-speed chest hammer. With their range advantage, they were easily targeted by machine guns! Their destroyed wreckage was enough to block their attack route!

Since he still can't hold his position despite all the added conditions, Yan Luo might as well commit suicide to save face.

Of course...the current situation can only last until now. After all, mechanical life has been on equal footing with human beings for thousands of years.

After the first wave of troops were sent out, the logic unit on the round-headed side may have sensed something was wrong, and soon a large number of modified types based on the round-headed units entered the battlefield.

"Is this a shooting round head?"

Divara's mood was so complicated that she couldn't put it into words.

If the shooter on the Creator's side has a machine gun and legs, then the round-headed one has a gun on its chest... Based on the design, Divara thinks humans will definitely have something to talk about with the other side...

However, it must be said that this is indeed simple, violent and... practical.

Compared to the small number of specialized melee models that simply have longer limbs on the original basis, these shooting types are more threatening!

At least the machine guns on Divara's side were consuming ammunition, while the opposite side was using energy weapons that fired a kind of black energy ball. Who knows how many shots these round-headed people's own reactors can support them to fire!

The moment these round-headed shooters appeared, the battlefield situation instantly turned upside down. The sounds and whistles of energy and kinetic weapons alternated, as both sides suddenly demonstrated their superior firepower.
