Stellaris from the Automata Era

This ultimately led to the last batch of round-headed people in the factory being disconnected from the Internet.

It's just that she was a guarantor at that time, but now her position has changed.

She really couldn't accept this trend of alternating offense and defense.

"I agree with the concept he gave to Adam. Killing, love, death, and destruction have changed the definition. The value of human beings can expand my concept. There is no need to capture them for the time being."

'? ? ? '

Are you being fooled? You're being destroyed! And you can still change your self-definition like this? Why would she need to evolve?

Now n2 (evolution) has no impatience, it is all confusion.

She checked her data to see if there was anything wrong or hallucination, and then she tried to speak.

'Because of Adam?'

'Because of Adam!'

Adam is not a mechanical life form completely separated from the network. In a sense, he was created by the joint efforts of n2.

Therefore, he is neither controlled by Evolution nor under the command of Destruction, but somewhere in between, able to access both normal and 'offline' networks.

This also means that n2 can obtain the information it needs from Adam.

Just as the meaning of Adam's name suggests, he is a new mechanical life form, as well as a new possibility and beginning.

It is the final result of the experiment to diversify mechanical life forms.

'Now I am thinking about the connection between life and destruction.'

"Why not focus on the human airborne plan?"

This topic can no longer be continued.

"It's meaningless. Regardless of whether he succeeds in the end, the destruction of the server will only lead us (machine lifeforms) to a different path."

Yes.

The destruction of the server that feeds the mechanical life forms would indeed seem to cause irreparable damage to the mechanical life forms, but the blow is not actually fatal.

At most, it will cause a temporary imbalance, but this is just a network disconnection phenomenon. Afterwards, the new network they reorganize will also be under the control of n2 (evolution), even if this control is very weak.

For them, it is the difference between the left hand and the right hand.

That's true, but is it really a good thing for Destruction to become so rational?

Evolution feels like it is gradually losing its value and meaning.

"If you think that, why start a war?"

"Because it is destruction, following my own basic settings and instincts, I need to defeat the enemy, and now humans are my enemy."

N2 no longer needs to fight against humanoids.

With the return of the humanoid creator, her priority has become completely locked on humanity.

However, due to various strange actions of humans in the past, she could not fully agree with the statement that humans were the enemy.

All we can say is that n2 has once again fallen into a vicious circle of self-contradiction, and perhaps there is a possibility of splitting again?

Chapter 2: N: Yoerha, we are actually compatriots

"This is 2b. All Yoerha members have arrived at the target area."

More than ten flying devices appeared at an altitude of more than 100 meters. As the human army, the Yoerha humanoid that appeared this time naturally obeyed Yan Luo's orders.

Although they were indeed initially presented at the humanoid command post as human guards, the temporary nature of this assault was taken into consideration.

It is difficult for Yan Luo to guarantee that the humanoids can gather the troops for the airborne (stealing home) plan in a short period of time.

Therefore, the YoRHa doll and all the flying equipment that followed him this time were naturally sent out.

After all, from the perspective of elites, it is difficult to find a more powerful type of soldier than YoRHa on the human side.

Model, performance, combat effectiveness and rich combat results behind enemy lines, all the dolls could only stare blankly at the series of data they received.

Not to mention the poor logistics and equipment of today's humanoids, which really don't give traditional humanoids any advantage at all. To be honest, how have they been able to hold on until now? Yan Luo's mind is full of question marks.

If he hadn't understood that the humanoids and the machine life forms were mortal enemies, he would have almost thought that the management and the machine life forms had some unspeakable behind-the-scenes deal.

As a result, those round-headed people are like releasing the sea, and even maintain the current situation.

"I've heard your report. Launch a tentative attack on the target. If anything goes wrong, retreat immediately."

Because the report was received from the communication equipment, Yan Luo was unable to see the actual situation on the scene.

But he still made a very cautious decision.

In fact, he was about to give up his plan to destroy the server of mechanical life.

After all, the confrontation between the humanoids and the round-headed men for so many years couldn't possibly be without any precautions.

The humanoids carried out hundreds of airborne operations for similar purposes.

From the final conclusion, it doesn't seem to be very useful.

Because the result of these airborne operations is that the humanoid resistance forces in the occupied areas are increasingly expanded (Note).

This was only the record of their fourteenth counterattack, a battle plan that gradually faded as the humanoid war enthusiasm faded.

From the earlier wars, it can be imagined that the humanoids were already veterans at rushing in and giving up.

Then why can the fighting methods that the humanoids have reproduced year after year be effective in the hands of Yan Luo?

Given his self-awareness, his original plan was just to see if the geographical location of these servers could allow space-based weapons to fire.

However, the machine lifeforms, who are quite familiar with the human form, are fully prepared.

Server groups that can be detected by humanoids must go through the process of entering deep underground facilities.

Obviously, it cannot be solved by a single round of firepower strike.

So after smacking his lips, Yan Luo turned his gaze directly to the armor of the mechanical lifeforms on the front line.

I plan to see if the more expensive heavy firepower on the humanoid side will be more effective than the cheap artillery just now.

Then Yoerha's men stood up.

If you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem surprising at all. Yoruha, who has countless spare bodies, doesn't care about the threat of death at all (Note 2).

In addition, the commander has adjusted the internal reward and punishment mechanism in recent times, which has caused Yoerha to be somewhat eager for military merits.

After all, the human figure that came down earlier never cared about the envious looks of others when he was showing off his hands.

Especially in recent times, a team has been confirmed to stay in the orbital base for a long time due to a failed infiltration.

This gave all the humanoids a sense of urgency! They should fight for the power to stand on the ground of the earth.

It seems that for long-term considerations, it is natural to improve the performance first.

Even the commander couldn't stop them at this point. Even though she was watching over the new base thousands of miles away, she couldn't stop them either...

"Understood! YoRHa's forces are about to launch a exploratory attack." 2B hung up the call and, as was customary with YoRHa, began cheering on the humanoids. "May the glory of humanity last forever!"

“May the glory of mankind last forever!”

After the shouting, Yoerha officially began to clean the ground.

...

The defensive measures deployed by the mechanical lifeforms on the ground were unable to stop the YoRHa humanoid equipped with cutting-edge equipment.

Although they do have a lot of flying units that can effectively compete with humanoids for air superiority, this is the difference between miscellaneous soldiers and elites.

Almost all models of mechanical life forms in the air cannot be compared with humanoids equipped with flying equipment.

They are often cleaned up quickly.

As for the remaining ground forces, they were quickly defeated by the firepower carried by the aircraft.

In fact, it is easy to understand. The humanoid may have installed all of its latest equipment on the flight equipment.

If no effective results can be achieved due to the absolute generation gap, then the humanoid will commit suicide as soon as possible to see if it can save a little dignity.

After completing the suppression of all airspace and clearing the ground, 2b began to implement the actual landing operation.

As some of the humanoids landed with her, the others continued to maintain their advantage in the air to expand their victory and fight against the mechanical lifeform reinforcements that might arrive at any time, buying time to sneak into and destroy the server.

After 2b and his men kicked open the door leading to the underground facility, they realized that the situation seemed to be getting complicated.

"No guards?"

Contrary to expectations, the interior of the server facility was not defended by a group of round heads.

On the contrary, it seems that the place has been deserted, leaving only empty facilities.

The strange atmosphere for a moment made people feel that something was not right.

"Everyone beware!"

The normal and more effective approach would be for everyone to withdraw immediately and then conduct investigation using various means.

However, the target was so close, and the fact that they were in enemy-occupied territory and other factors did not allow the humanoids to make such a decision.

So they chose to move on without hesitation.

As they passed by one strange mechanical facility after another, they finally seemed to have reached their destination.

The server group of mechanical life forms.

Then a voice like this was heard.

"You're finally here," a male voice said. "Originally, I didn't want to meet you like this, but considering the limited means of communication, now is indeed a good time."

This is a weird combination. The voice is obviously male, but the projection is indeed a girl in red.

The moment she appeared, all the auxiliary machines following Yoruha's troops issued a warning at the same time.

"Mechanical lifeform! Incorporeal. Try analyzing it. The amount of data... is enormous!"

Listen to the alarm sounding from the auxiliary machine.

Almost at the same time, all the humanoids clenched their weapons.

"Mechanical lifeform?!"

"Yes, I am N2, your compatriot."

Chapter 2: Humans hope N will change its voice.

"I am N2, your compatriot."

If she could choose n2, she really didn't want to have any actual contact with YoRHa's humanoids.

After all, for her, Yoerha is an excellent observation and experimental material.

No, it should not be described as excellent, but perfect.

With a human body and a mechanical life core, Yoerha should essentially be on her side.

However, from the appearance of YoRHa's humanoid form to their involvement in combating mechanical life forms, N2 did not see the shackles of the original creator in their core at all.

Although this may be related to the fact that they have been subjected to a new logic, it also indirectly proves that mechanical life forms can transcend the constraints at the bottom level.

Therefore, N2 has been closely observing and guiding YoRHa, and even designed his first experimental mechanical life, Adam, based on their information.

And the ultimate goal of all this is only one, evolution and transcendence.

In fact, her plan could have already entered its final stage at this point, if humans hadn't appeared...

The influence humans exerted on Adam allowed her to see greater possibilities.

After all, letting a mechanical life form whose core purpose is to destroy the enemy try to communicate with the enemy is, in a sense, more valuable than the peace faction and other strange mechanical life forms she accidentally created.

This...is not a change that occurred under their influence!

But others did it without digging into the core or rewriting the logic! I can't understand it at all!

Therefore, in order to obtain the human beings who changed Adam, she quickly adjusted her next plan after learning that she (destruction) was slacking off.
