Stellaris from the Automata Era

Only then did he express it timidly.

"Those robots, they're lost."

"Lost?"

The word he'd been using a lot lately reappeared on Yan Luo's face. He couldn't figure out how he could get lost...

"I asked them to jump over the stairs but they couldn't. I could only let them wait and move on their own. When I came back, I couldn't see them anymore."

Did you stay too long and get cleaned up by the round head?

Yan Luo thought about it with some speculation, but he didn't care much about the loss of the robot.

What a joke. After comparing the performance of humanoids, he basically positioned the robots as cannon fodder. Compared with humanoids who are full of emotions and thoughts, he would not feel sad no matter how many of them died if there were enough materials.

However, he still compared the data of the robots' actual combat situation. Perhaps he could find the black box from their wreckage to see if he could get some information.

Thinking of this, he immediately used his communication equipment to transmit information to Bopora.

"Popo La, can you locate the signal of the robot team that 11b took out?"

With the recent improvement of Yan Luo's industrial chain, this kind of thing can already be done. Of course, he usually hands this work over to Gemini, as humans have a natural advantage in this kind of thing.

Soon, Bobo La also gave Yan Luo a reply.

"Yes, we've checked them out. They're staying somewhere on the upper floors, and seem to be on alert."

"kindness?"

This...situation is a little different from what I expected.

Obviously, 11b did not expect this. When Yan Luo looked at her, she was also stunned.

"Ah... sir, I'll go and bring them back right away."

"Forget it, you don't have to go." Yan Luo pressed his temples as if a headache was aching. "I'll have Popola set up a wayfinding device for them and come back by myself."

Most likely, he got lost again when coming back from 11b...so he went to the wrong place?

But if they really got lost...how did 11b get back to the base?

I can only say it's confusing..

"You should take this round head to Popola first."

"OK.."

So when Popola saw 11b, she saw a dejected human figure.

It's so sad that it's almost visible to the naked eye.

"11b..." Bobo La didn't know how to start, so she could only ask with concern. "Will you get scolded by the adults?"

"That's not the case..."

Bobola's concern made 11b's expression even sadder.

Yan Luo also expressed too many opinions on the matter, but the scene when he was reporting the task just now was too awkward.

And the look on Yan Luo's face as if he had a headache while rubbing his temples made her feel something was wrong, and she started to have some wild thoughts.

Perhaps Yan Luo himself did not expect that any random action would affect the emotions of the humanoid.

"It's just that things are messed up!"

this..

Bobo La didn't know the whole story, so she didn't know how to enlighten the other party.

However, the data she was born with does have a plan for dealing with humans in this situation, so I think it should be good for humanoids too...

So she put her hand on 11b's head, stroking it back and forth like a cat, while speaking softly.

"Okay, okay, don't be sad. Anyway, what are you doing here?"

Maybe Bopola's plan worked, or maybe 11b remembered what Yan Luo had just given her, and she quickly returned to normal.

"Oh, by the way, my master asked me to send you a round head so that you can extract its memory."

11b's words immediately diverted Bobola's attention. She had already noticed the round head following behind 11b.

However, since it was able to follow a combat humanoid intact and not be scrapped, it must have been judged to be no threat, and therefore did not attract any more attention from Popola.

At most, be a little wary of it.

Now that 11b had reminded her, her memory of the round head's details suddenly went back to the desert period. It could only be said that a humanoid head was indeed more useful than a human's...

"This model! I almost thought I'd never see one again. Okay, I understand what you mean, sir."

Then she led the round-headed man into the depths of the factory.

"Now let me see if there's anything useful in your storage records."

Chapter 42: I'm Here to Negotiate

Yan Luo overestimated the mechanical life form...

I also underestimated the fighting power of the humanoids.

Although he had previously claimed that he wanted to enclose the factory land, in fact, his real idea was just to move forward cautiously. If the round-headed creature resisted fiercely, he would immediately retreat and not go any further.

However, he really didn't expect that the humanoid was so good at fighting.

Due to the limitations of the factory's terrain and environment, the mechanical life form's army could not be deployed inside at all. In addition, many of them were withdrawn due to internal strife. The area above Yan Luo could be said to be in a vacuum state.

11b combat humanoid serves as the spearhead, assisted by Bobo La and Divara who was called back from the resistance camp.

By the time Yan Luo reacted, the area of ​​territory he could control had instantly expanded by 50%.

These three figures are advancing faster than the machine guns! Can you believe it?

Of course, this was also a situation caused by various coincidences. After occupying half of the estimated area of ​​the upper layer, Yan Luo's offensive finally stopped.

On the one hand, the reason is that there are not enough machine guns to guard all the key points, and the front line is almost not full of troops. On the other hand... the three-person group has reached the battle area where the round-head group is fighting internally.

In order to avoid being treated as intruders and suppressed by the mechanical life forms in the civil war, Popola and the others were setting up their machine guns and tacitly agreed not to advance or interfere.

In fact, their approach was correct. When they appeared on the battlefield, all mechanical life inexplicably paused.

When Popola and the others acted as if it was none of their business, the ordinary round-headed ones seemed to want to divert their guns and fight the traditional enemy humanoids, but the purple round-headed ones didn't think so.

After confirming that no new enemies would intervene, they became even more brutal towards their compatriots, and the scene became a mess...with engine oil and parts scattered all over the ground.

Ding ding ding ding

The battle situation in front had nothing to do with Yan Luo. He was now hammering on the production line.

One reason is that the front line is advancing too fast and his troops are not enough. Also, the machine gun production line was abandoned prematurely before the previous transformation was completed... which led to him having to reinstall it now.

After all, the machine guns are produced quickly..

Another reason is that the dolls don't let him go to the front line.

Yes, although Yan Luo was confident that his combat effectiveness in armor would not be inferior to that of the humanoids, and he might even be better than the twins, his proposal to lead the army in person was directly rejected due to the humanoids' excessive desire to protect him.

I don’t know what logic they base their judgment on. When they were in the desert before, they could happily go out and communicate with Round Head, but now they won’t let them.

What's more, based on previous cases, in order to prevent Yan Luo from running to the battlefield himself, he immediately used the core control to lock several robots and make them watch Yan Luo the whole time.

As useful as the humanoids were as command towers in the past, they are now so restrictive.

"Have I been sidelined?"

He almost shouted that!

This is getting out of control!

If he hadn't interviewed him several times later, he would have known that the robot's care was not to restrict his movements, but to report his whereabouts to Gemini.

Anyway, whenever he touched the armor, he would immediately receive a message from either Divara or Popola, saying things like, "Where are you heading to the battlefield, sir? I'll meet you now."

If it weren't for this... he almost wanted to order a "big purge" after this incident.

Of course... no matter what, he still needs to confirm his supreme power after this incident is over, so as to prevent the humanoids from playing this kind of drama of overthrowing the superior again.

However, his current problem is still those production lines. The front line is pushing forward so fast. It would be really funny if it was pushed back because there are not enough troops to fill the line.

But he soon found that these worries were unnecessary. After reaping enough results in battle, the humanoids turned to maintaining stability and weaving a defense line.

At the same time, it seems that someone is offering land.

"What? Purple Round Head wants to negotiate?"

"Sir...according to what they say, you are a special envoy."

Bobo La talked to Yan Luo through the communication device, while looking at the purple round head holding the French flag in front of her with complicated eyes.

If she hadn't seen a similar scene with Yan Luo in Pascal Village before, she would have almost thought that Round Head had come up with a new type of machine that held white chess pieces.

"So, are we going to talk to them?"

"Talk! Of course. I want to see what kind of strange species these purple guys are compared to the ones in that village."

The exact statement should be that Yan Luo wanted to see what these special types of mechanical life forms wanted to talk about.

Or perhaps he seemed to know whether they would do anything unexpected.

The result really shocked him.

Because it is impossible for the humanoid to actually let humans appear at the negotiation table, it is still Boppola who handles the phone calls.

Obviously, the mechanical lifeforms had no experience in negotiation, so they went straight to the point once they sat down at the negotiation table.

"We...will not invade each other, and fight heretics together. Both sides will keep their territory intact, and the heretics will be divided 70% and 30%."

"this..."

Through the communication and translator, Yan Luo almost wanted to add, "Then I'll become a beggar!"

But he finally swallowed all his words.

In fact, the words are easy to understand. If I am not mistaken, heretics are basically referring to those ordinary round-headed people.

As for non-aggression... the meaning of 30% and 70% is obvious, okay?

After thinking for a while, he felt that he could still gain some benefits.

For the sake of viewing experience, let's reduce some of the descriptions in the middle.

"That's missing. This and... this." Bobo La stood up straight, pointed at the machine gun next to her and then at the 11B, which was temporarily filling the role. As the other party looked puzzled, she continued speaking. "At least %."

In fact, according to the instructions of humans, Bobo La was talking about the four of them... After all, in their current situation, if they really ate it, it would still be a question whether they would have enough manpower to defend it.

But the opponent may want to fork... thinking that the big head is with the humanoid.

"Fifty-fifty, no, no more."

"????"

It seems that the round-headed person's brain is indeed not very useful.

The atmosphere afterwards was naturally very pleasant, and Yan Luo would certainly not refuse the share set by Yuan Nao Tou.

But there was actually one thing he had never understood: the internal strife among the mechanical life forms, and why the purple round-headed man would think of involving outsiders.

This made him feel a little bit puzzled.

The purple round head, which is just beginning its honeymoon period, provides a seemingly reasonable explanation.

"They are heretics, you pagans. Your God also said that heretics are more hateful than pagans..."

Okay..no need to say more.

Now Yan Luo really wants to know what kind of weird things his compatriots in this world have left behind!

41. Complete Factory

In fact, Yan Luo didn't have much hope for the intelligence from his reconnaissance plane.

To be honest...that was an arrangement made before he took over the factory, and after he moved into the factory, the effect of this thing was already very small.
