Stellaris from the Automata Era

She unconsciously quickened her pace, and with the sound of her shoes tapping on the steps, they quickly went deeper into the passage.

They didn't stop until the scene inside appeared.

"This place is abandoned."

This conclusion was reached because Yan Luo left a message in the desert base.

Because he was afraid that A2 didn't know, he carved Chinese characters on the wall facing the entrance. With the help of the language system installed in the system, A2 could naturally understand the meaning of the characters.

"Is the surrounding area dangerous? Should we go to the factory first?"

What happened during the days she was away?

a2 almost felt like he was missing out on something.

If she had known earlier, she would not have returned to the desert and would have searched directly near the camp.

"what happened?"

Of course, the three new T-dolls didn't understand the above information, but they instinctively sensed what A2 was worried about.

"This base was abandoned due to an accident. Let's return to the central city. If nothing unexpected happens, the new base should be there."

If you can't find it anywhere...that's when a2 will really have a headache.

Now she can only pray that humans stay in the originally set position... otherwise... the world is really too big.

"Let's go."

Then a2 led the team away again. Before leaving, she looked at the hibernation capsule under the wall with confusion.

She knew that thing well. According to the Gemini's description, it seemed to have been dismantled by humans for parts, leaving only a useless shell as a souvenir.

Now it seemed to be repaired again, because she saw that the hibernation chamber time display started working again.

The value written above is 10000, which represents the time humans have been dormant...

"Are you sure?"

'Confirmed.'

'A human-shaped creator?'

'The Creator in human form.'

Chapter 44: Human, please stand up!

The civil war between machine life forms will not end so quickly.

This was clear to both Yan Luo and the purple round-headed creature. After all, their production lines were right there, and their bases were so close...

This distance is not much different from a face-to-face confrontation.

The purple round heads probably also understand that this is probably a long process, which is why they need some external power.

Yan Luo, who had just forcibly seized a part of the factory from the mechanical life forms not long ago, was regarded by them as their best helper. Before the real war with the heretics, they had sent envoys more than once, but perhaps for various reasons, they had not been able to successfully establish diplomatic relations.

Of course, the current development of the situation should not be too bad in their eyes.

The above is off-topic, and most of it is supplemented by Yan Luo himself based on the words of the purple round head.

Although preliminary cooperation has been established with the purple round-headed people, the actual details are still to be discussed.

It was obvious that the mechanical life forms had never experienced any real negotiation, and it was estimated that they learned this knowledge from human books unearthed from the ruins.

The application is extremely simple and crude... and rigid.

They start by asking for a sky-high price, then bargain, and finally settle on a price. After doing this many times, Yan Luo can understand the other party's bottom line as soon as he sees them start.

In the end, both sides decided to send troops to fight against the heretics together at 20 days later. Since the earth stopped rotating and the days could not be counted, it would be 504 hours later. Before that, Purple would take the responsibility.

What? How do you calculate a 20 in 504 days?

Then Yan Luo explained to them what is the run month, run day, run hour, run minute, run second,

After a lot of explanations, they basically understood. At this stage, their newly awakened round heads are still relatively simple...

After this communication, Yan Luo also obtained a complete regional topographic map of the factory from them. Thanks to the commonalities between humanoid and mechanical life forms, it was finally no longer a hand-drawn version.

After sending away the so-called envoy with the purple round head, Yan Luo also began to speed up his armaments, such as restoring large-capacity machine guns to deal with the subsequent war.

And...getting internal affairs in order.

In Yan Luo's studio, the twins looked at each other in surprise.

"Just tell me, whose idea was it?"

This question corresponds to the recent incident of the lower class rebellion. Of course, although it is not completely a case of the lower class rebellion, but this time they dared to let robots monitor him, maybe next time they would dare to lock him up in a small dark room and tie him to the bed!

Even if he understood that their starting point was good...but what about the dignity of mankind? How could he lead this small circle in the long run?

Obviously, the twins had not anticipated the violent reaction of humans. Their brain cores calculated for a moment and immediately came up with the optimal solution, while pointing at each other.

"It's Bobolla!"

"It's Diwala!"

What a scene of sisterly love... The style of these two paper sisters is becoming more and more wrong.

When I first saw how deep their feelings were in the desert, the gap between them was so obvious now.

What happened before his eyes almost made Yan Luo laugh.

"So, who is it?"

this...

Bobola and Diwara looked at each other, and it seemed that the memories in their minds replayed the days when they depended on each other in the past and the emotions that had accompanied each other for thousands of years.

The inseparable bond between them from the past to the present could not help but waver a little...which eventually turned into emotional firmness.

"It's really Bobolla!"

"It's really Diwala!"

Good guy... pointing at each other again! Now, only when they speak at the same time can Yan Luo see that they are sisters.

"Go dig mines for me for ten days! Now! Immediately! Immediately!"

This brief interlude ends here for now.

In fact, Yan Luo really couldn't do anything effective to punish the twins. First of all, their starting point was really good.

Secondly... to put it bluntly, Yan Luo might have been spoiled... if he really fired the twins, he might even have trouble getting enough food in the future...

It’s not that he can’t make it himself...but without Gemini, he may not be able to find the seasonings, including the most important desert wine (sweet) and salt.

As for the other humanoid 11b, you can let her go out and fight, but let her take care of herself. Yan Luo was afraid that the next time he would see hard dishes like snail soup on the dinner table, his teeth really didn't have a hardness of level nine (as far as I know, the highest hardness is ten, and iron seems to be around level 7...).

"Then the next step is to verify the authenticity of the map given by the purple round head."

This was also a headache for Yan Luo, because the recent strange behavior of the mechanical life forms was a development he had never imagined.

He was so confused that he didn't know what to do next.

In fact, he was a little confused now, after all, things were too outrageous.

Naturally, he had to confirm the map that was handed to him, otherwise he really couldn't explain what traps were set or what tricks were done in it.

Thinking of this, he immediately used the communication device to send a message to 11b.

11b also quickly set off with a small team of the latest models of robots armed to the teeth.

.....

.....

In the end, the twins didn't actually dig the mine for ten days. They were liberated from the mining area in less than an hour.

It’s not that Yan Luo was soft-hearted and let them go. In fact, this was not a big punishment.

The real reason was that the task of surveying the authenticity of the map originally assigned to 11b was transferred to them.

Why do this..

Of course, 11b came back alone to report that the team was missing.

This made Yan Luo unconsciously feel confused. This kind of thing happened twice in a row, making him a little confused as to whether there was an error in the robot's program, or... something else.

In short, after repeated decisions, he sent a message and released the two sisters who were mining.

Let them take on the responsibility of hosting the survey mission.

Judging from the final conclusion, there may not be much problem with the design of the robot.

After several hours of hard work, the Gemini sent back maps of the surveyed areas, proving the accuracy of the maps, and no accidents occurred.

Then there was something wrong with the way Yan Luo looked at 11b.

"Sir..sir?"

11b, feeling frightened by the stare, called out timidly.

"Ah... nothing much. Okay, from now on, you'll be my bodyguard in 11b. As for reconnaissance missions, leave them to Popola and Divara. You'll focus on combat."

Losing more than ten robots every time is simply unbearable at this stage!

By the way, the team of robots that accompanied 11b out last time hasn't come back yet. They might have encountered a civil war among the round-heads and got beaten up on the way.

Chapter 45: Baimao is coming back!

The twins' reconnaissance mission went relatively smoothly, but due to the huge scale of the factory, they have not yet fully surveyed and compared the map they have.

Of course... because Yan Luo had become a "useless person", not all of them were released by Yan Luo in the end. Instead, one person was left to take charge of the housework.

This... definitely wasn't a desperate move by Yan Luo because he couldn't even find the salt storage location at noon one day...

The point is that Gemini is usually responsible for the regularity of the production line, and serves as the command tower of Yan Luo's various machines, which is really indispensable!

And... and...

"And let me think about how to edit it..." Yan Luo rubbed his temples and said as if he had a headache.

Well, Yan Luo had to admit that it was difficult for him to even find excuses for himself now.

As the first humanoids to follow him, the twins have truly integrated into his daily life, taking care of the human models... Indeed, they are very competent.

Yan Luo felt that it would be better for him to accept the reality that he had become a "useless person" as soon as possible.

"Alright, let's not dwell on this, Divara! How's the factory map survey going?"

"We're already halfway through. Judging from the current intelligence, there's actually no need for us to continue."

This is true..

This half of the progress has already completed the survey of the portion that belonged to Yan Luo after consultation with the purple round-headed man.

Judging from the existing information, they are relatively honest... or have they not yet extended too much complexity?

So, assuming that the intelligence is not too wrong, the most important issue now is how to get the land into our hands.

Also, because of the previous negotiating delay, the specific time of the general offensive was postponed a lot, so Yan Luo still had time to develop armaments.

Of course, there is no need to think about those complicated robots. After all, there is only time to build a production line. Yan Luo doesn’t know how many machine guns have been built, and the production speed is still slow.

Therefore, those products that are close to being discarded will eventually have to make use of their remaining energy.

Yan Luo really knows how to make the best use of items, but this time the machine gun will probably be treated as a disposable item.

Because the production lines that support their logistics have been used to produce various weapons.

Those weapons are almost filling up Yan Luo's warehouse, now all they need is some guys with hands to take them...

"What's wrong with those purple guys?"

"Still fighting, but they're pretty friendly..."

How can we not be friendly!

I don’t know what kind of human books those round heads dug out from the ruins, it feels like the whole machine is stupid.
