Stellaris from the Automata Era

Chapter 50: Speculation and the Approaching War

The addition of three new humanoids and the return of a2 naturally made Yan Luo's strength expand unprecedentedly.

He is even considering whether to raise the purple round head on the day of the final battle and monopolize the factory.

What gave him such strong confidence was, of course, the combination of the 8b team.

The map, which had only been half completed by the twins for various reasons, was directly handed over to them by Yan Luo.

Then Yan Luo discovered that allocating more manpower to them would only slow them down.

The three-person team directly broke through the position of the mechanical life forms, destroyed their manufacturing production lines, measured the data on the opponent's land, and then left.

When Roundhead gathered his troops and arrived, all he could see was a burning manufacturing platform.

This efficiency and tactics shocked Yan Luo at the time.

This isn't reconnaissance anymore! This is an armed raid!

If the two sides were not on the side of human and mechanical life forms, only one could survive the meeting, and we might even see them capturing thousands of people and rushing them to the base.

Of course, they were finally ordered to stop and were pulled back to the base by Yan Luo.

This is not what Yan Luo wants to establish an atmosphere of peaceful coexistence and friendship with Yuan Naotou.

But that group of purple guys have begun to radiate their sphere of influence!

It seems that 8b and the others' actions have added some chips to the original balance of power, causing the group of round-headed people whose brains were burned by religion to gain a certain advantage.

However, this is not in line with Yan Luo's strategic approach at all.

For him, whether he is a round-head or a religious fanatic, the only thing he wants is to drain the oil.

Unfortunately, the factory’s resources are indeed abundant, so it is basically difficult to wait until that day.

But we can't let one side gain the advantage! It will just snowball and flatten the other side! How can he divide the spoils then?

All I can say is that humans are better at strategic balance.

"So how are 8b and the others doing?"

The three people who were forcibly pulled back seemed to have some sense of low morale.

Especially after Yan Luo explained his dynamic strategy, they looked as if they had messed up.

In this regard, Yan Luo, in addition to completing his daily work, also pays attention to the mentality of the humanoids.

"I haven't recovered yet, but if you can take some time to visit and offer your condolences, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Divara helped Yan Luo organize various documents and design drawings, and also actually asked Yan Luo to sign his name on the Bobo La overhaul proposal.

I think when my good sister comes back later, her expression will be quite interesting.

"But 8b and the others' real problem is still with the system."

A commonplace question.

In the previous 11b, the twins felt that there was definitely something wrong with YoRHa.

In fact, when Yan Luo got three more human figures, the twins were really shocked when they pried them open one by one.

Almost every one of them has a backdoor installed.

And just like 11b, they are all completely beyond the Gemini's technical capabilities to remedy.

Each of these characters is not something that Gemini can...or dares to rewrite.

If the situation of 11b can be explained by the round-headed man's attack, then the similar methods used by these three newcomers reveal the dark side of the human form.

"I never imagined we'd reached the point where we needed to deal with our own people." Divara sighed, then continued to express her opinion. "My Lord, I suspect there's something wrong with every single person in Yoerha."

This was the conclusion Diwara came to after integrating all the information.

In terms of time, 11b left the bunker earlier, but the code written in her system was less than that of 8b and the others.

8b and the others only updated it once before they decided to leave YoRHa after being asked by the twins.

Divara was almost certain that their system was changing gradually and subtly.

Even core data is reviewed once each mission is returned.

On the contrary, a2, who left early, did not have such worries.

"Is there any way to remedy this?"

Code is indeed a blind spot in Yan Luo's knowledge. Although he has technologies such as strong artificial intelligence in his mind, the code is ready-made and he just needs to copy it.

Just like the answers to advanced mathematics in an exam, if you really ask him to solve them...it's really impossible.

"We can't do that. We can only install patch chips to cut off the network environment, but we can't defend against electronic attacks."

"Let's do this first. I'll go back and check on them later."

Yan Luodao was not too worried about the possibility that a backdoor might be implanted in the humanoid.

According to Gemini, the settings were added step by step, and the core program has never been rewritten.

As long as this is the case, the existing T-dolls are basically his loyal subordinates, but he may need to be vigilant in the event that they lose their combat effectiveness for some reason.

"Then let's talk about the production line. Robots are already mature."

Yan Luo sighed.

I won’t go into the boring numbers, the reality is that over time, the number of robots has reached a certain scale.

In addition, their learning mechanism has matured to the point where they can be used to install machine gun production lines.

This is also the reason why Yan Luo can now sit in the office and make cooing sounds.

Otherwise, he would probably still be hammering away with a wrench in preparation for the battle.

Of course, it cannot be denied that the newly added humanoids have unprecedentedly increased his combat power, leading to some slackness.

Anyway, Gemini rarely goes to the construction site when he looks for him recently.

However, an unexpected benefit was that Yan Luo's daily routine became much more regular.

At least Popola doesn't have to argue with Divara every day about the disappearance of her private collection of fine wine.

"It's almost time to harvest new territory."

We have all the troops, sufficient weapons, morale, reliable allies, and a two-pronged attack. The advantage is mine!

Yan Luo is full of confidence about the upcoming battle.

After all, the civil war among those round-headed creatures was only at a stalemate. Recently, with Yan Luo's unexpected intervention, the purple round-headed creatures had gained a slight advantage.

If he really intervened fully later, Yan Luo would have no reason to lose.

He should now think more about how to face the purple round head after the factory is divided equally.

Although the self-proclaimed peaceful mechanical life on the edge of the forest restored some of their image in Yan Luo's heart.

But he really didn't dare to trust the one in the factory.

After all...they are playing with religion!

His brain wasn't working well to begin with, and he was also following the path of faith. Plus, his round head was broken when we first met...

To be honest, the best option is to destroy them all together, right?

But this should be considered depending on the situation.

Because over time.

The war is about to begin.

Chapter 51: Complete troops and sufficient weapons!

Move time forward.

The war begins.

In fact, for the humanoids, this is not an ordinary war.

Ever since machine life forms gradually gained a foothold on Earth and the frantic counterattack of humans failed, the meaning of the war between humans and machine life forms has changed.

From the perspective of both sides, they have bid farewell to the overall war based on billions of dollars, and turned to more sophisticated regional competition that requires micro-management.

Hold on, advance, fight to the death! Each side has the option to fight in their own style. The humanoids don't care about the gains and losses of the area, and they only care about the survival force.

The real reason why they are fighting for the area is simply that it was once a human city.

However, if humans become the host of this battle, even if it is just a small piece of high ground, they will almost have a reason not to lose.

"The first area is cleared."

After the countdown ended, the newly joined 8b team began to infiltrate according to Yan Luo's will.

Over the past few days, Yan Luo has fully understood the fighting style of this team of original Yoerha humanoids.

The task assigned to them was also very simple, which was to destroy the production line, destroy the production line and destroy the production line.

The difficulty in fighting against mechanical life forms has always been their endless supply of troops. In fact, if their supply of troops cannot be effectively curbed, even if Yan Luo can gain a temporary advantage, he will be overwhelmed by the sea of ​​round heads later.

This can be seen from their civil war.

Therefore, the fundamental purpose of Team 8b is to keep moving around, attack the production capacity of the round-heads, and evaporate their possibility of subsequent troops.

And they are indeed very suitable for doing this. At the beginning of the battle, they did not fight and went straight to the production line. Some of the round-headed people even waited for almost ten seconds after the other animals ran past their faces before turning their eyes as if they had reacted and started chasing after the figures.

"Well done, I'll leave the rest to A2 and the others."

After the first goal is achieved, it is natural to follow up with the main force.

A mixed unit of machine guns and robots, with a2 and ..11b as the spearhead.

In just a moment, the round-headed people's defenses were broken through.

Or perhaps they have no defense line at all. Currently, most of the round-heads seem to be still encircling and chasing the infiltration team of 8b.

When A2 began to advance, there were only a few scattered groups in the front, which were cleared out almost effortlessly, and then they began to deploy defenses on various traffic arteries.

When the group of round-headed guys, who were like walking dogs, lost sight and returned, they were naturally suppressed by targeted firepower.

So after a series of combined attacks, the round-headed war logic unit finally came online.

"So now we're suppressed on the front line?"

Sitting in the rear, Yan Luo was unable to reach the front line due to the strong opposition from the humanoids.

So he could only listen to the twins in the command tower reporting the battle situation to him.

"It wasn't that they were suppressed. It was that the machine guns ran out of ammunition, which directly created a defensive vacuum."

Use the most basic model to offset the ammunition, and then the shooting type to suppress the firepower. The war logic of the opposite round head is indeed very restraining to Yan Luo's troops.

This is what Bopora knows now.

And what's even worse is...

"Models with shields also appeared on the battlefield."

A2 had just finished reporting the situation to the rear when he casually split open a shield-shaped round head.

This type didn't seem to have much resistance to close combat, and she easily broke into the enemy's position and cut a large area with her sharp blade.

Not far away from her, 11b was doing the same thing.

Although 11b's confused nature prevents her from moving behind like 8b, if she simply follows the main group, she shouldn't be embarrassed.

Therefore, considering the pressure on the front line, she was sent out together with A2.

This decision was also very correct. After a brief period of high-intensity firefight, the machine gun without ammunition directly became a fire stick.

They are basically useless until the subsequent machine guns arrive or they retreat and reload their ammunition.

It was at this time that a2 and 11b personally took up their swords to fill the defense.

Of course, as two humanoids that are more inclined towards close combat, they naturally have their own shortcomings.
