Stellaris from the Automata Era

"Let's send a survey team to Cygnus as soon as possible."

Having said that, Yan Luo also knew that it would be difficult for him to decipher it in a short time.

Cygnus's journey is already quite long, and he may not be able to find the answer within the next year.

But he soon discovered that sometimes the answers would come to him.

----

"Oh! Back here again."

As the observation experiment of the other world was restarted,

A figure with a suitcase and two braids returned to her familiar job.

Jakol, an observation-type humanoid.

In fact, observing the other world is a huge project. According to the usual practice of humanoids, observation-type humanoids should actually be collectively called the Jacol type.

Yes, Yakor is not the name of a certain humanoid, but the general name of all observation humanoids.

Just like the scientific research humanoid Rui has countless bodies, Jakol also has countless identical bodies with the same appearance.

However, compared to Rui who is able to unify his personality, each Jacol seems to be more independent.

In other words, the Jacols are more like twins with countless sisters than the same person.

"Where do we even begin? Wait? Have all the materials that the Human Heritage Regeneration Agency once preserved disappeared?"

The Human Heritage Regeneration Management Agency is the predecessor of the Human Army. In order to achieve the protection, management, restoration and reproduction of the Old World heritage, after the interruption of the Morphology Plan, it actually assumed the functions of the central government of the artificial humans.

And they are also the makers of the entire alien world observation plan.

It has to be admitted that the humanoid government still had its own decisions and abilities in the early days. In the early and middle stages of the Regeneration Management Agency's rule, the humanoids still developed and researched various plans in an orderly manner.

Including but not limited to the human soul separation plan, the collection and return of the original magic essence...

After the death of the last human soul, this organization instantly stepped onto the fast lane of death. The earliest combat humanoids directly declared a breakup, and various disputes arose from this.

In fact, when the aliens came to the earth, the humanoids failed to organize enough people to resist in the first time. I am afraid that the root of the disaster was planted in that period.

In short, the Human Heritage Regeneration Management Agency is the early form of today's humanoid high-level officials.

Observation of other worlds was also part of the research plan carried out during the reign of the Regeneration Management Agency.

Written and recorded under the leadership of Jacol, at that time, the humanoid form was merely a study of the other world, and even involved the timeline.

There are already hundreds of records about where it started and where it ended, and what the reasons were and what the results were.

However, at that time, the battle between humanoids and machine life forms had already entered a white-hot stage.

Since the end of the Human Heritage Regeneration Management Agency, humanoids have gradually lost their dominant position over mechanical life, and as a result, they no longer have enough power to maintain an observation plan for an alien world.

Even in the later stages, with the large-scale attack of mechanical life forms, many databases that the humanoids used to store data were destroyed.

All the information that Jacol had collected may have been lost during that period.

"Ahhh, no!" Jacol screamed, crouching on the ground with his head in his hands in agony. "Doesn't that mean I have to start all over again?"

Is there anything more painful than playing a game to the end and then suddenly realizing that you didn’t save the game after exiting?

ps: I actually haven't played Dragon's Back, so the story of Dragon's Back will only be treated as an episode. Its main function is to promote the world view of this book and supplement some settings. After all, you have discovered before that the parallel world theory has caused a conflict between NieR and the stars in my writing.

Chapter 278: Cygnus and Dyson Sphere

In fact, there is no need to emphasize the actions of Jacol.

However, for the entire modern history of humanoids, the research of Jacol and her entire series of clerk-type humanoids has greatly influenced the direction of humanoids.

So it's better to mention it at least a little bit, and not long after they restarted the study of time and space, they came up with another big thing.

Promote and determine the strategic deployment and direction behind the earth.

"So the entire parallel world is actually in a galaxy in Cygnus?"

Very good, the Cygnus that has been bothering Yan Luo for some time appeared in his eyes again.

With the current advancement of magic on Earth and the fact that humanoids have a real backbone, Jakol and the others can finally change the direction of exploring the other world without having to conduct any experiments to reverse fate.

Perhaps it was because the times had changed that, after using the most advanced technology, Jacol first turned his attention to the starry sky of the parallel world.

Soon they were surprised to find that the so-called parallel world seemed to be in the same river system as the Earth.

It is located in the constellation Cygnus.

Now all the clues point to this area. Isn't it obvious that they are trying to lure the Earth over there?

To be honest, Yan Luo actually wanted to refuse this unknown situation, as he couldn't tell whether it was a conspiracy or an open conspiracy.

But after the information was updated and the news spread, the other humanoids couldn't help but get excited.

You must know that the source of human suffering on Earth comes from the first ray of magic in a parallel world. This is also the beginning of the subsequent extinction of mankind and the deviation of the humanoid technology tree.

Therefore, the emotions towards the humanoids in the parallel world are quite complicated. In order to reverse the fate of mankind, they have used their own strange black technology to go to the other world along the Internet cable to perform tricks.

The ending doesn't seem to have changed much.

But these are not the main points. In short, after seeing that there are offline operations in addition to the Internet cable, the humanoid regained his motivation and prepared to go to the scene to see it for himself.

After all, in the past, when humanoids used black technology to go to another world, it was equivalent to online dating, and once they found the coordinates, it was equivalent to offline dating.

The research and operation methods after these two types are different, okay? Maybe this offline trip can reverse the extinction of mankind?

Therefore, with so many factors combined, no humanoid could remain calm.

Even Divara and Popola personally ran to Yan Luo, ready to ask for various resources for the upcoming opening to Cygnus.

It was not until Yan Luo was blocked by the twins again that he quickly realized how cruel the humanoids were in dealing with human-related issues.

"I understand your anxiety, but I just have one question. The coordinates of that parallel world have always been there. Haven't you, the humanoids, ever really looked up at its starry sky after observing and studying it for so long?"

In fact, when Yan Luo asked this question, the Gemini's CPU was directly turned into a state of overclocking and crashing, just like the human brain was turned into a paste.

They had to find a reason other than food for their research on humanoids thousands of years ago.

"You know, my lord, that in that era, mechanical life forms were competing with us for control of the Earth. Furthermore, we had lost many of the old technologies, and astronomy had always been our weak point. It's understandable that we couldn't see the coordinates."

So after all this talk, isn’t it all because of the food?

But it seems to be within the scope of understanding. After all, the research on parallel worlds was something that Yan did before he fell into the form of a master.

Before Yan Luo arrived, the entire humanoid society seemed to be full of anger towards mechanical life and trying to find and get close to humans.

Given their thinking patterns, it's a bit difficult for them to focus on other aspects, and accurate positioning of the universe is a new technology that humanoids have only recently acquired.

Before this, it was quite difficult to locate the humanoid in an unfamiliar area of ​​the universe.

After all, having lost a large amount of human heritage, they no longer have the same astronomical technology as the humans of the old era, who in the 21st century could use to determine that there was a suspected hoopoe civilization thousands of light years away. (Note)

But after saying so much, Yan Luo has basically confirmed that he seems to have no reason to stop the humanoid from opening up the focus of Cygnus.

He simply approved and reimbursed all the resources needed with a stroke of his pen.

After finishing all this, I discussed in depth with Gemini the more troublesome follow-up matters.

"As for the various resources needed to reach Cygnus, that's easy to do. The problem is, with our current technology, a trip to Cygnus would take about two years. How are we going to solve the distance problem?"

This is not the most troublesome thing, because the current long-distance navigation technology on Earth is only subspace navigation.

However, ships cannot send information out of the subspace. Anyone who has had some contact with the stars knows that every time a subspace navigation experiment is conducted, the research ship is in a state of loss of contact.

This is enough to prove the information sealing within the subspace.

At the same time, based on the characteristics of the subspace...who knows what strange things you will encounter in it during a long voyage.

"Actually, we've considered using the Subspace voyage first. It's only two years, and we humanoids can afford to wait. Also, since we've only recently opened up the road to the ooze, perhaps we can explore a shorter trans-dimensional route."

It's not impossible. Anyway, the star map obtained from Mao Meng only depicts the halfway route to the earth, and the rest is blank.

Therefore, there is still a lot of room for expansion and exploration on Earth.

Anyway, just think of it as expanding the empire's territory.

After figuring this out, Yan Luo finally found a way to get these humanoids who were waiting to get close to humans to work enthusiastically.

Note: I also forgot where I saw this strange article, which said that there was a completed hoopoe sphere (suspected) in the Cygnus constellation 8000 light-years away. At that time, I always wanted to complain, what kind of magical astronomical black technology could break through the light-year difference and see a Dyson sphere in a dark galaxy?

ps: Happy 61 everyone, it’s my turn again this month, I activated the Resurrection of the Dead and carried out thirty rounds of actions... Well, the truth is that I am yang again, so I have time to write again.

But this time it's worse than before! I can tolerate everything else, but why am I being deprived of my sense of taste? Damn it!

Chapter 279: Strange Uses of Slime

After finishing the task of exploring Cygnus, Yan Luo turned his attention back to his own inner self.

To be honest, he didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but after the earth expanded outward, it had conquered a large territory.

What’s more important is that there are billions of organic creatures that need to be supported, which instantly makes it a joke that an empire composed entirely of mechanical units actually has food needs!

This is outrageous! It's not like they're using biomass to generate electricity!

In short, after hesitating for a long time on the option of connecting to the power grid, Yan Luo finally let go of the mud. The reason will be explained later.

This decision forced him to face up to the issue of food demand. However, when he looked at the entire territory, he found that in the vast federation, only the Koprulu region produced grain.

What is even more troublesome is that the Terrans who are responsible for producing food only have a population of tens of millions during this period.

Tens of millions supporting billions? What kind of scale is this?

If it weren't for the fact that he could increase revenue and reduce costs on food, Yan Luo would have given up the slime long ago.

However, before the production of food can be internally recycled, the Terrans will probably have to suffer first, as they have to continuously supply food.

Of course, in the eyes of Earth, the Terrans are at least a white flag, and they have given full support after Earth took over Köprü... In order to prevent the Terrans from feeling exploited, Yan Luo must think of a better excuse and method.

"I will reorganize the Earth's monetary system."

In fact, anyone with common sense knows that the monetary system is, in a sense, a piece of waste paper. It can only be given value by relying on national credit, which is a high-level means of exploitation.

What Yan Luo has to do now is to take out this system and make the Terrans and the slimes behind them grateful to him while working for him.

I will not repeat the specific principles and methods, after all, only financiers can explain them clearly.

However, just when Yan Luo was about to leave the backward Stars and move to the advanced Victoria to play with the economy, he suddenly discovered a huge problem...

There is no one on this earth who understands economics! ?

Hiss...If you think about it carefully, the distribution of materials, whether human or mechanical, has long been the ultimate form of communism.

Even the humanoid resistance zone that once used spare parts as currency was forced to retreat due to lack of supplies. They stopped playing long ago after the unification of the Earth.

This is troublesome... Although Yan Luo is seen as an omnipotent hexagon by humans, he knows everything, but he really doesn't know anything about mathematics.

If he really has to force his way in, Yan Luo will only build a re-employment center!

Fortunately, someone gave him some effective suggestions at the critical moment.

"Those slimes...should know what to do, right?"

...

"Dinner is ready, gulp!"

It's undeniable that it's not just the dolls who seem to be working enthusiastically.

As time went by, after two months, both in reality and in other senses, the Earth had initially achieved effective control over the slime under its command.

The biggest achievement is that these slimes have begun to use human-like images and language.

Of course, it is indeed difficult to ask these slimes that can only mumble to learn Earth language.

Although from a human perspective the tones of the ooze can only make a pot of pigeon soup, their special ears and pronunciation structure allow a coo to have 26 tones and receive sounds.

The combinations can still form a language picture, but after they used the human form, there was a big change, because they suddenly couldn't coo due to the vocal structure!

After all, the early cultures of the ooze had a tradition of transforming into the forms of powerful beings, which allowed them to effectively preserve themselves in the wild times, especially before they became the overlords of the planet...
