Stellaris from the Automata Era

However, the issue was not shelved for long.

Just as Yan Luo was thinking in his heart, Mao Meng, who was 3000 light years away, had another friendly call with him.

"I heard that you won a battle, and I wanted to come and congratulate you first." The cute cat supervisor Hong still uses the cat ears.

However, it was not known whether this artificial intelligence was too anthropomorphic, but Yan Luo could actually see a hint of fatigue in her expression.

"But the kids here seem to be making a lot of noise, which has distracted me a lot."

In fact, Yan Luo didn’t quite understand that Mao Meng was more like a reverse Earth Federation.

First of all, she is a female inorganic being ruling over a large number of organic beings, while the earth is a male organism ruling over a large number of inorganic beings.

Then there are the governing policies...idols...needless to say.

In the end, it’s all about ethnic diversity, and the people under their command have all had grudges.

The conclusions are completely consistent.

Therefore, the current style of painting human figures and mechanical life can be completely incorporated into the cute cats.

I'm afraid the troubles here will be no less than those on Earth, and now she probably has to worry about more than just the problems of her own subordinates.

"Yan Luo... I initially thought yours must have some technological content, but... do you really not have any technology?"

Oh, it seems that they came here to question the scientists who were sent for exchanges.

"So..what did the scientists on my side of the past do?"

"They activated the Psionic Engine."

Huh? Psionic Engine?

Yan Luo was a little confused.

And Hong didn't seem to intend to give him time to react.

"It doesn't seem to be a psionic engine. The output is far lower than what's recorded. It's probably at the level of Level 2 (Hyperspace Transport ) technology. The question is... how am I going to upgrade it later?!"

Well, the materialistic cat Meng seems a little uncomfortable with the shock of the idealistic earth.

Just being able to activate the psychic engine shows that there are still scientific and technological talents on Earth.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about the upgrade for now, I’m mainly here to give you something.

A strange probe accidentally broke into our territory. My scientific assistant took it apart and discovered that it must have been lost by your Earth.

Don't deny it too quickly. There are a lot of introductory pictures of culture, species, and genes, which are obviously human.

By the way, there is a strange box in there with Chinese characters on it, which seems to be where you need to input magic elements.

It's so obvious, why don't you say it's not yours?"

"What a coincidence... I just got a similar one a few days ago." Yan Luo quietly opened the star map and took a close look at the Cygnus constellation.

"It should be considered that we lost it."

Chapter 276: Old Era Humanoids, a Little Magic in Science

After ending the communication with Mao Meng, Yan Luo quickly decided to explore the Cygnus constellation 8000 light-years away.

After Mao Meng said that he also got a box.

He suddenly realized that all his worries at this stage were actually a bit unnecessary. No matter what the situation was on Cygnus' side, he probably had no other choice.

If his estimate was correct, there were probably more than just one or two detectors carrying the box.

"So what's that over there in Cygnus?"

Yan Luo muttered to himself with a headache.

This is basically like putting the coordinates in his mouth like feeding him food.

Tell him clearly that you have to go to this galaxy no matter what it says.

With such a handiwork, Yan Luo could only think of the possibility of "his own" inheritance.

After all... to tell you the truth, magic element is currently only available on Earth in the entire universe!

A box that requires magic to unlock, it can only be prepared for him.

Of course, all he said was just his guess, and he would pay attention to the real experience when doing things.

In order to verify his idea, Yan Luo not only asked for the newly discovered box before ending the communication with Mao Meng, but also asked her for the wreckage of the detector dismantled by Mao Meng.

After these things arrived via express delivery from Mao Meng, Yan Luo immediately sent them to the scientific research laboratory.

After a period of disassembly and research, Rui soon obtained the analysis results.

"From the perspective of atomic half-life, the existence time of the detectors is beyond our understanding, and it is difficult for us to identify the age of these items."

If it were ordinary science and technology, the humanoid would probably be completely at a loss.

However, the use of magic elements has opened a convenient door for humanoids.

They may not understand science, but they definitely understand magic.

"This detector is made of an alloy forged with magic. Perhaps due to its age, the traces of magic have faded somewhat, but from the remnants, we can still trace its origins. Its existence... may be even older than this universe."

"Ah."

Yan Luo nodded. This answer was not unexpected to him. He already had the answer in his mind before. Now the additional time test was just to prove the conjecture.

In fact, for the additional box inside the detector, the age detection can also be carried out according to the magic element method.

However...using magic essence to stimulate the box is too dangerous.

It would be fine if it was a necessary attempt to extract the information inside, but after getting the star map, he still stimulated the box.

That is a waste of the earth's existing resources.

You know, in order to get the information inside, Guan Shi’s laboratory was rebuilt three times.

This is not how you create sufficient supplies!

“But.. sir, something is wrong.

The construction method of the detector is very strange. I saw many cables and unknown technological equipment modules inside it. Because of a long time, they have lost their functions. But after careful inspection, I found that the technological ideas inside it are a bit wrong.

I'm not sure what the civilization that built this probe would think of using it."

"This is a question left over from the previous era. I'm afraid no one can give us a truly correct answer, but... don't you think this resembles your humanoid or mechanical life form technology?"

It is certain that the technological thinking is wrong. After all, Yan Luo had already learned from the Fallen Cat Meng that the laws of cosmic physics and mathematics have changed, and the times have long since changed.

These items from the last era lack human maintenance. Even the fallen cat next door can only sigh at the failure rate.

"First of all, it can't be a mechanical life form, sir. As I said, I found a large number of cables inside the detector. If you carefully dissect the round head, do you know what those wire-like things are made of?"

"Some kind of...plant." Yan Luo's expression became complicated.

Mechanical life forms may seem like pure mechanical science, but in fact they are also the ultimate patchwork monsters.

Use plants as 'blood vessels', use magic essence as 'heart', and use technology as skeleton and skin.

If this is placed in Stellar, it is basically the ascension of clicking all three lines once.

No, they are all natives rolling on the ground, how can they be directly given talents?

However, it is said that the upcoming new DLC will allow you to dig up shot-down battleships. I think these are not ordinary natives, and even heavy punches will be useless.

Too reasonable.

"Yes, some kind of plant. That alone rules out the possibility of mechanical life. As for us humanoids, perhaps we did use traditional cables in the past, but now... we use angelic writing."

Yan Luo suddenly thought of the Starlight-class battleship. The blue light on its surface, which was outlined with angelic words, was not just a decorative pattern.

At the same time, it is also the "wire" for conducting power. Humanoids have long abandoned the traditional conduction method after the leap in technology. If it still exists, it may be that the building or thing is relatively old and difficult to repair.

"A little bit of science in magic and a little bit of magic in science?"

Now thinking about it carefully, Yan Luo seemed to see in the memory crystal given by Mao Meng the scene of "himself" excitedly asking the human form to pick up the ancestral craft.

Could it be that the human forms of the last era were really scientific?

Having lost their powerful magical advantage, they might have resorted to using firearms again in their initial clash with the machine lifeforms!?

"No, what's the point of me thinking so much now?" Yan Luo rubbed his temples and gathered his scattered thoughts.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of something very important.

"11b... Rui, have you carefully checked the specific data of 11b?" The current 11b is also a product left over from the last era.

According to the laws of cosmic technological change, it is obviously abnormal that 11b can still operate normally.

"This... I'll retrieve some information. The research on her is still ongoing, but I'm not in charge of it now." After saying that, Rui in front of Yan Luo was obviously stunned for a while.

It seemed like she went to retrieve some information, but she returned immediately.

"Impossible... 11b's body has had a % chance of continuous failure since its activation, but her body should be made of some kind of memory metal, which should be able to recover and maintain its operation. However, this process requires a lot of energy. Drinking some gas will do the trick. No, that's not the most important thing.

The magic element reactor at 11b has the initial magic element reaction..."

Chapter 277: Parallel World

"Wait? Didn't you realize that 11b uses the original magic essence?"

Yan Luo found it a little unbelievable. With the human's understanding of magic elements, he didn't notice the situation in 11b at the first time.

What are your magic element specializations?

"The main reason is... the two magic elements are too similar, making it difficult to distinguish before they erupt."

Indeed, the nature of magic is like the relationship between twins.

Not to mention that the humanoid magic element is a secondary fan work, so it lacks a factor that is harmful to humans compared to the original one.

It is understandable that we were not able to find it immediately.

"As for the fact that I discovered it later, I didn't report it immediately. The main reason was that the magic element reactor itself is a sealed structure, just like a nuclear battery. It is completely harmless until there is a leak."

In fact, even if a reactor used by a normal humanoid were to encounter any accident, the damage would be devastating.

Looking back at history carefully, Popola's farewell rampage was a suicide reactor.

From this perspective, even the so-called harmless magic element of humanoids is only relative.

This also means that the original magic element actually has the same properties as nuclear technology. As long as it is handled properly, the harm will be within a controllable range.

Yan Luo could barely accept Rui's statement.

"Then 11B can't continue to serve as a guard. It seems that she should be sent to the navy or army. They are both isomorphs, so their abilities should be similar, right?"

Yan Luo moved 11b away from him not because he was afraid of the danger of magic essence leaking.

The main reason is that with the characteristics she currently possesses, she is no longer suitable to stay by his side.

As far as Yan Luo knew, if the other humanoids knew that 11b possessed the original magic element, they would definitely be sentenced to death.

The humanoids hate anything that leads to the extinction of humanity, and they have already paid the price for this.

It's not like they haven't done something similar to 'killing nine clans' before.

Therefore, he strictly prohibited this matter from being spread outside and marked the information file as top secret.

After finishing all of this, he turned the topic back to the beginning.

"So, regarding the extra box, have you figured out the information inside?"

Then Yan Luo quickly received the answer he expected.

"Yes, as you instructed, I exported the data inside, which is also the star map of Cygnus."

It seems that this kind of detector is indeed thrown everywhere, at least that is Yan Luo's initial judgment.

The only thing he couldn't figure out now was that this thing was obviously a product of the last era and should be his legacy. But what exactly did "he" want to explore on his own?

Why use the original magic element as the power source?

It seems that if he wants to find out the truth of everything, he must follow the planned route.
