Stellaris from the Automata Era

Fortunately, the continued weakening of resistance on the front line told him that the situation was basically settled.

What's more... the mechanical life forms surrendered, yes... they surrendered.

The specific process is difficult to explain, anyway, these ordinary Android heads' eyes suddenly changed from red to yellow, and then they showed A2 and the others the French military salute.

Team A2 and Team 8B had never seen such a situation before, especially Team 8B, who were still in the process of re-infiltrating, looking at the groups of round heads saluting, not knowing whether to chop them down or not.

Fortunately, it seems that when their eyes changed color, they also evolved the ability to speak.

"We surrender... the price is safety and leaving."

"Is it still possible? What if we don't accept it?"

Standing among the enemies, 64b asked curiously.

So the round head with yellow eyes turned red again...

The farcical war continued for a while, until Divara arrived from the rear and announced the will of mankind.

The situation improved again.

"We accept your terms."

...

...

Round Head suddenly lost his will to fight, allowing Yan Luo to take the territory he deserved without bloodshed.

But the problem at this time was already defensive.

The area of ​​his rule, which had expanded several times, began to challenge his defense limits, but fortunately, these situations could be alleviated with enough time.

What he was more curious about now was what happened to those mechanical life forms that caused them to behave so bizarrely.

As investigators, Gemini naturally presented him with their detailed understanding.

"Their network disappeared."

To be precise, it was probably due to unknown reasons that all the mechanical life forms in the factory were disconnected.

This directly caused the round-headed people's brain systems to become stagnant for a moment.

After a short pause, their thinking became clearer.

"They say I've never seen the world so clearly before." (a2:??)

No, it's not just that reason.

If Yan Luo could analyze it more deeply, he would find that this was only one of the reasons why Yuantou surrendered.

The remains of companions, ruthless killing.

When they leave their original environment, the first emotion they feel is fear.

Especially when compatriots fell in front of him one after another, the initial emotions were infinitely magnified.

The instinctive desire to survive made them make the most sensible choice.

However, perhaps he had just found his self and had not yet undergone a complete transformation, so with a word from 64b, his defense was broken again.

Although there were some farces in the middle, the ending was still relatively perfect.

"So what happens next? Do we actually release them?"

"Let it go! Why not?"

Yan Luo would never allow these round-headed creatures that suddenly left the Internet to continue staying in his territory.

However, it seems unrealistic to kill them on the spot.

It would be fine if the number was small, but the round-headed ones that remain are still quite considerable.

Yan Luo simply did not have enough manpower to carry out this action.

If we force a killing, just in case... not just in case, the round-headed creature will definitely resist if he senses something is wrong.

At that time, the territory that had not yet fully stabilized would face new challenges.

Not to mention, those purple guys are now bordering Yan Luo's sphere of influence.

Both sides have already begun deploying troops on the border, and whether to fight or not depends on whether they are confident.

Yan Luo is not so naive as to think that everyone will become close brothers just by working together. If he thinks so, they will really be close brothers.

If this is the case, we might as well let these round heads go.

Their huge base size directly causes headaches for the humanoids outside.

Anyway, they have been fighting each other for so many years, and Renxing is definitely more experienced than him in dealing with the Android issue.

Besides... he also wanted to see what kind of surprises this one that appeared in front of him could bring after the three known network environments that were separated from the traditional mechanical life.

"Let them go in batches."

"If it is your will."

Then the humanoids have nothing to say.

Afterwards, the Geminis began to organize the dispersion of the mechanical life forms.

Yan Luo needs to consider deeper issues, such as the direction of his relationship with those purple round heads.

Going to war with them directly is no longer an option.

This attack exposed most of the problems, although if we rely on the humanoids, the final outcome may not be too ugly.

But the result that Yan Luo expected could only be an exchange of homes.

"Let's just leave it alone for now."

Chapter 54: Tacit Understanding Between Similar Machines

The process of dispersing and driving away the round-headed creatures was quite smooth.

There were no unexpected events during the process, and it seemed that their level of awakening was not yet high.

At least Yan Luo's surveillance has not yet shown any leaders of the "We were driven out of our homes today" movement.

In fact, Yan Luo had always suspected that based on the situation in the neighboring village and the forest, such an incident would happen sooner or later.

After all, from his observation, Roundhead would come up with all sorts of strange questions, so it shouldn't be a big deal if he staged a revenge drama in the future.

Fortunately, as soon as they left the factory and set foot on the ruins, they were naturally warmly welcomed by their friendly neighbors, the humanoids.

To be honest, the number of round-headed creatures is indeed too large. Even if their eyes turn yellow, they look no different from those wandering models that do not actively attack.

Faced with such a large crowd, the humanoids instinctively became nervous.

According to traditional thinking, mechanical life is bound to cause trouble!

So in recent days, with the help of the humanoid resistance army, their engine oil has been spread on the ruins again, until the relative quantity is concentrated to a reasonable level, and the confrontation between the two sides has subsided.

Well...without the coordination of the network, these detached round heads are indeed no match for the humanoids.

However, it seems that because the main production capacity of the round heads in the central city was really destroyed, the intelligence the twins obtained from the resistance army also turned into a large number of round heads entering and leaving nearby areas such as the desert and the water city.

Their mechanism... seems to be intended to keep a certain amount of mechanical life in Central City?

Maintaining scale and creating the illusion of an enemy at the gates is the most troublesome problem for the humanoids recently.

Both Popola and Divara have received notice from the camp that the resistance army has begun to stockpile large amounts of repair and armament materials and has sent them a large number of orders.

Of course, the humanoids have their own headaches, and Yan Luo also has them.

Because the round head's frequent movements have increased the attention on the humanoids, they have now begun to trace the source.

The beginning of all the events, the reason why the round-headed man ran out from the factory became the first thing they needed to know.

The frequency of humanoid appearances around the factory alone is almost beyond the range of reconnaissance.

Relying on the honeymoon period of cooperation with the purple round-headed people, many of the robots that Yan Luo sent out to install surveillance in the other party's territory were witnessed by the humanoids.

Now the whole camp is spreading the news that the mechanical life forms have developed a humanoid variant.

After all, there is no way to deny the fact that those purple round-headed people turned a blind eye to the robots and might even engage in a chat (or proselytize) with them.

What's more...Yorha's troops just received some reports from 2b who returned from the desert not long ago.

They concluded that a mechanical lifeform was imitating a humanoid form, and less than a month later, a humanoid-like creature appeared in the enemy base.

Is there any need to think about this? It's a sure thing!

So recently there have been a lot of YoRHa's people among the armed reconnaissance dolls. The attitude of humans cannot be desecrated!

If the purple round heads on the outside had not been strong enough and had been forced back several times, they would have been sent to Yan Luo one by one like the gourd saving his grandfather.

But Yan Luo actually felt that he was not far from being exposed. After all, Round Head had been running around in the symphony of explosions too many times recently.

Many of them were even about to hit him. If he hadn't seen the other party's figure on the surveillance, he wouldn't have known what kind of enemies those purple ones were facing.

Even more coincidental is...

Recently, 2b has been wandering in the ruins for a long time in search of a2.

Then, looking at the shivering round head in the ruins, she actually softened her heart and escorted him to a village on the outskirts of a forest. It seems that her recent travel experience was also very rich.

What's even better is...

This is a round-headed guy who was driven out of the factory...

As a reward for the escort, I was told exactly what happened in the factory.

During the storytelling...those figures with swords as vanguards seemed familiar.

Well, maybe it's more than just familiarity. 2b finally understood what the round-headed man meant when he first saw him, saying something like "murder to silence the witness."

Although she has not yet figured out how A2 got into the factory, the previous target (A2) and the current target (factory), when combined, are definitely worth exposing the black box.

If there weren't some minor problems with her source of intelligence, she could even report it and organize an E-type team.

So after getting a map of the factory's interior and the locations of all the elevators that could be reached directly or via transfer, 2b headed straight for the factory with his followers.

At this time, Yan Luo, who didn't understand what was happening, was still tidying up his production line.

...

...

"This elevator is locked."

Outside the factory, near the sea, the electronic special attack 9s said something that seemed to be impossible.

"Can't we hack it to unlock it?"

"This isn't a hack anymore. I feel like the power cord has been pulled."

Faced with 2b's confusion, 9s said that he was really helpless.

Although their model is indeed very effective against electronic devices, at least there is an interface to access the system.

Just unplug the power cord like you are doing now...it's useless even if it has an interface.

In fact, this kind of operation was unheard of in his previous experience, and he really didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Then take the stairs."

After understanding the current situation, 2b immediately changed the plan.

Fortunately, because of her previous kindness, she now understands how to proceed internally.

So I pulled 9s and found the nearest entrance and went in.

Amidst the chaos of the purple round-headed people, he turned into the stairs of the silo and then jumped down from the air.

With the help of the descent control function provided by the auxiliary machine, they quickly found the shortest route.

"Wait 2b, this elevator seems to work!"

Then 9s was finally able to use his skills to find the elevator that led straight to the complex terrain.

"Let me do it... And there are surveillance facilities? Fortunately, we can handle it."

After a series of operations, 2b and 9s entered the elevator.
