Stellaris from the Automata Era

This time it was Yan Luo's turn to remain silent.

Even through the projection screen, n2 could feel that the look in the other person's eyes had changed.

However, as a mechanical life form, she cannot understand the complex emotions of humans, so she does not understand what the look in a human's eyes means.

It was unknown how long it took before Yan Luo seemed to organize his words and continued speaking.

"If it's just for this purpose, I think there's a village on the edge of the forest. They..."

"That's just a special case," the red-dressed girl interrupted. "It's an accident that occurred after many experiments. And if we really need them, they will return to our arms at any time. They can't resist the call." (Note)

"I suddenly know what you are."

Yan Luo let out a breath.

"I shouldn't call you a mechanical life form. The server here is your body... or a part of it?"

"You are their network."

Chapter 101: Trade, Human

"You are a network of mechanical life forms!"

As she finished this sentence, the girl in red stopped where she was and did not answer immediately.

She began to think, and her logic seemed to determine whether it would be beneficial for her to mislead or admit it next.

She was still quite surprised that humans could guess her identity.

She has never shown up in human form. Logically speaking, there should not be enough information from the human form to confirm and speculate her identity.

In fact, they may not even care about the actual situation of the mechanical life forms, and their best efforts can only maintain the existing social system from collapsing.

There is simply no extra energy to investigate and pursue the true nature of mechanical life forms.

So how did humans know this?

Perhaps sensing her doubt, Yan Luo said:

"Don't be so quick to deny it. I've always been interested in the network of mechanical life forms. In fact, I just confirmed your existence."

N2's idea has always been correct. Humanoids really don't have the extra energy to explore more about mechanical life forms.

But unlike humanoids, humans have enough time and energy to track down everything behind this.

Not to mention that in recent times, all mechanical life forms that can communicate have inadvertently mentioned the word "Internet".

Yan Luo was extremely sensitive and thought that this network should have some kind of key.

But he has never been able to determine what the network in the mechanical life form relies on.

Until now..

"You shouldn't appear in front of the pod if you want to keep your secret."

Yan Luo lowered his head. In addition to the video projection in front of him, there was also a data analysis about the girl in red.

Perhaps the auxiliary machine may be the greatest black technology in the entire YoRHa army.

These square-headed gadgets had already begun reverse analysis the moment N2 appeared, and when N2 unscrupulously used her authority in this mechanical lifeform facility.

The auxiliary machine has completed the data collection and uploaded multiple possibilities about n2 at the same time.

Perhaps they have realized the seriousness of the problem from the YoRHa information scattered around them, and this time they plan to bypass their assistants and report to humans.

Then, although their analysis results of n2 varied, they all agreed on the highest possibility after exchanging data privately.

n2 is the server here.

They marked this probability percentage at 80 and emphasized it in the report secretly uploaded to humans.

While Yan Luo was scanning the various materials on N2's side from top to bottom, he had already secretly read the report at a glance.

That's why he looked so solemn.

Of course, Yan Luo was still a little surprised that the server group of mechanical life forms actually had its own personality.

However, after recently witnessing the various confusing forms of mechanical life forms, he has given up on trying to find the reasons for the appearance of these things.

Anyway, since it exists, there must be a reasonable explanation.

After talking with n2, he immediately realized that the n2 in front of him was definitely not just a regional server.

She knew too much and said too much.

The various keywords such as "experiment" were enough to make Yan Luo have more associations, but the embodiment of a server alone should not be able to bear the arrogance in her words.

Wanting mechanical life forms to evolve is not something that a regional server can consider.

Then let Yan Luo have bolder imagination.

For example, the integration of all servers, and the network mentioned in fragments by some mechanical life forms.

These thoughts flashed through Yan Luo's mind in an instant, and he blurted out questions to her.

"My auxiliaries have already revealed your true nature. Admit it."

n2 actually didn't realize that this was just a cliché.

A trick humans have always used.

She considered the possibility seriously.

"Assisted machine?"

n2 turned his head and looked at those square heads.

Soon she began to agree with what the human had said before.

If it is an auxiliary machine, it can indeed analyze her data.

There is not much information about auxiliary machines within YoRHa. It is only known that they are used for analyzing data and supporting shooting, and other things are rarely mentioned.

This is not to say that the role of auxiliary machines is too small to be ignored.

Rather, their base was not qualified to carry data about auxiliary machines. In terms of level, their authority was probably higher than that of any person in YoRHa.

Sometimes n2 even wonders who is the helper between them and the humanoids.

Even YoRHa's humanoid may have thought about this question?

n2 thought.

She turned her gaze again, scanning the crowd, and then retracted her inner words with an expressionless face.

At this time, Yoerha turned his attention to humans. The information given to them before seemed to no longer be able to cause much waves in their systems.

All their confusion was thrown away when the human figure appeared, and they seemed to be seduced by beauty?

n2 didn’t know if this metaphor was correct, but she just wanted to express one thing at this moment.

These humanoids are beyond saving... As long as there are humans around, the experiment will lose its value.

An inexplicable feeling flashed through N2's heart. What word would humans use for it? Melancholy?

This feeling quickly turned into her nourishment, or part of the information.

Only after all this was over did she face the humans again.

"I agree with you. When dealing with humans, no detail can be overlooked."

Her figure floated up, passed through the center of the human form, and flew straight towards the human.

All the humanoids subconsciously surrounded and protected even the human projections, and stopped in front of them.

Looking at the human figure surrounded by human figures, she continued speaking.

"Human, let's make a deal. I will make all the round heads temporarily cease all attacks."

"It sounds like you've made a good offer, so what will I have to pay?"

"You need to answer for us."

Yan Luo frowned. He understood what N2 meant, but he couldn't quite understand what N2 was thinking.

The chips put on the scales by both sides are somewhat unequal.

This inadvertently made him suspicious.

"It seems like I got the upper hand."

However, n2's explanation was beyond his expectations.

"Completely equal. We can't possibly destroy the humanoids. In terms of value, they are equal."

Is it impossible to destroy the humanoid?

Yan Luo suddenly remembered the humanoid's report to the mechanical life forms, "They will stop attacking once they occupy 80% of the land."

"I understand a little. Please withdraw your troops. I'll make this deal, provided my own safety is protected."

"Transaction successful."

Chapter 102: Whether humanoid or mechanical lifeform, roll up and combine into one

The information that YoRHa is a mechanical life form cannot be made known to others for the time being.

After all, the attitude of humans towards mechanical life forms cannot guarantee what they will do when they find out that the guards surrounding humans are mechanical life forms.

Therefore, Yan Luo believes that the best way now is to block the information.

Of course, he was still unsure whether this news could be blocked.

In fact, when the auxiliary machine was communicating directly with Yan Luo and N2's words came out from the speaker, he already felt that the problem was serious.

Although he quickly cut off the sound source and found an excuse to return to the room assigned to him by the humanoid, he asked a2 and others to guard the door.

However, the key words in the conversation between N2 and the YoRHa doll were enough to make the people in the command room at the time have significant associations.

I guess by the time he gets out, there will be rumors everywhere.

From this point of view, he may have to think of a way to deal with YoRHa's secret being exposed.

Of course, the situation shouldn't be as bad as he imagined.

As the Geminis who understand humans best, after his face changed and he hurried into the room, they guessed that humans probably didn't want anyone to hear.

However, since many people at the scene had already heard the key words, they immediately realized that the time had come to help humans solve their problems.

They immediately implemented martial law and temporarily prohibited any information from the command post from flowing out.

Originally...with their current authority in the humanoid realm, they should not be able to command the surrounding humanoids.

But after all, the Geminis dug humans out of the ground. To be frank, they are the benefactors of the entire humanoid group.

Not to mention the last time humans were inaugurated, these two were humanoids following behind humans the entire time.

In terms of invisibility authority, it has exceeded the imagination of other humanoids.

Therefore, both the highest commander and the ordinary soldiers directly expressed their gratitude.

After doing all this, they stood on the left and right of the door of Yan Luo's room, looking at each other, waiting for the human conversation to end.

"How long have they been in this position?"

11b blinked boredly.

To be honest, as guards, she and A2 and several combat dolls should stand near the door to prevent Yan from falling into the room and causing problems at any time.

However, after Popola and Divara had intimidated the entire command center, they immediately drove the few humanoids to the corridor next to them.

The key is that they also gave reasons.

"This matter concerns Yoerha. You don't want to eavesdrop, do you?"

Although the excuse is indeed far-fetched, it seems to be true when you think about it carefully.

Every combat model present now is from YoRHa, and out of curiosity they are all suspected of eavesdropping.

And even if they weren't eavesdropping, the humanoids didn't think a thin wall could block their ears, so it was no different from listening openly.
