Stellaris from the Automata Era

This thing can surpass the speed of light as long as the energy output is sufficient! (Note)

Of course, the problem with the humanoids right now is that they don't have enough energy to drive the engine. According to their own estimates, if they want to reach 1% of the speed of light, the energy required to start it is not something they can afford.

Therefore, under the most energy-efficient conditions, the engineering ship took more than ten days to reach its destination.

It was only when they arrived at the asteroid labeled 'Spirit' that they discovered a serious problem.

"The construction of the mine cannot be carried out for the time being? Why?"

At this time, Yan Luo was answering the call from the administrator. Although there was a psychic network now, it was still in the testing phase, so it had not yet been used for the humanoid administrator.

"Because we don't have a transport ship..."

Chapter 1117: Human, please sign for your throne.

"Are all of you humanoids so brave?"

Yan Luo really wanted to reprimand the manager on the other side of the projection for not even preparing the transport plane.

It’s just that maybe I’ve been talking to Yan Luo a lot recently, so the management doll in front of me, whose name is Hong and whose representative color is also red, does appear too often in Yan Luo’s place.

The image of the body is obviously a strong and powerful manager, but now it has completely turned into a pitiful look.

This...was obviously pushed out by other humanoids to take the blame.

In the end, Yan Luo's thousands of words could only be reduced to this sentence at the beginning.

Of course, it should be the gap in generations, and the manager Hong should not have worked in the Asian region.

Obviously, he didn't know how to respond to Yan Luo's words.

If she remained silent, it would seem disrespectful to the Creator, but she really had to give an answer now.

In fact, even with a language plug-in installed, the ancient Chinese language is still difficult for humanoids to understand, after all, it is a language that has been extinct for thousands of years.

Fortunately, she still understood the literal meaning, and this sentence should be a compliment.

Then she knew how to respond to humans.

"We humanoids are all so brave."

"..."

Yan Luo was speechless for a moment.

The era difference between the human form and Yan Luo is quite large, so logically speaking, this plot should not be connected..

But now the other side's smooth communication style reminded him of the confrontation with those idiots before he traveled through time.

He inadvertently began to wonder whether this humanoid core contained the soul of a so-called old-era Celestial Empire human.

Of course, he also knew that this should be impossible.

After all, if humans from the old era were still alive, even if only their souls were able to survive, the world would not be in its current state.

Therefore, he turned to thinking that the humanoids must have painstakingly studied the culture of the old times, specifically to cater to his preferences.

This made him feel that he was being a little harsh.

"You guys... have worked hard."

In the end, Yan Luo could only say this.

He slid his fingers across the panel in the air, flipping through the latest plans.

"It seems you already have a remedy."

The humanoids actually have a subsequent transportation plan. They already had a design plan for the transport ship when the construction of the engineering ship started.

However, these ships may not have been originally used for transportation, but rather engineering ships independently developed by humanoids. Yan Luo could tell this from their similar appearance.

Of course, this thing should have undergone a series of magical modifications to the human form. At least the magic element reactor is not the energy supply system on Yan Luo's drawing.

Moreover, they had originally planned to report the transportation problems to Yan Luo.

It was only after a host of events such as meteorites and psychic power erupted at the same time that all their attention was drawn away.

Only after Yan Luo ordered the ship to move out did he recall the incident, and then he quickly completed the remedial plan with trepidation.

Then they were put forward to take the blame...The spokesperson reported the situation to Yan Luo.

Naturally, Yan Luo had nothing to say about this attitude.

"Let's get the engineering ship back first. The drone array on it should be able to significantly shorten the construction time of this ship."

Repeated jumping operations have become Yan Luo's normal state in recent days.

One more now doesn't seem like a big deal.

So the conversation between Yan Luo and the manager came to an end here.

But his story was not over yet.

Just a few minutes after he hung up the call with the management doll, a new call request was sent to him.

Yan Luo glanced at the display on the panel screen and his expression instantly became serious.

He then opened the phone to receive the call, and the image of a girl in red appeared in the projection.

This is the network of mechanical life forms, n2.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

n2 was the first to greet using human habits.

The last conversation between Yan Luo and her was indeed a long time ago. At least Yan Luo's second inspection of the humanoids took a lot of time.

During this period, he had no time to chat with N2.

N2, who pays great attention to humans, naturally understands this problem and tacitly does not disturb them.

Of course, the purpose of her call this time was not to discuss with humans after a long separation.

Before Yan Luo had time to think about how to respond, N2 had already stated his purpose.

"I heard you have a special network."

"You know it now."

Yan Luo was not surprised. After all, the situation on his side was too similar to that of the Snake Shield Bureau, with leaks everywhere.

He is just like the SHIELD. He knows where the problem lies, but has no way to deal with it, so he can only accept it.

But this did not prevent him from listening to what N2 wanted to say.

"Can you give me access to your network?"

For a moment, Yan Luo was confused.

Under normal circumstances, Yan Luo should have refused.

What n2 said is equivalent to saying, let me see what secrets you have. Perhaps this is not very immersive. Let's change the words, for example... let me see the web browsing history on your computer.

That’s how the feeling comes.

According to common logic, this should not be allowed to happen.

However, Yan Luo's spiritual energy network is somewhat special.

For him, "Glory" itself does not contain any secret elements, and it even has the function of spying on others.

So this is exactly the reason why Yan Luo is really confused.

Not only can n2 not see other people's web records, but his own web records may also be lost.

He had never seen such a voluntary surrender. (Note)

However, considering that the purpose of that trip was to go to the scientific research center to inspect the engineering ship, the Geminis had prepared a lot of interference measures in advance, and also applied a lot of strange patches to the YoRHa humanoid.

It seems reasonable that n2 may not have received complete information and made an incorrect judgment.

Although he was a little confused about N2's intention in coming closer, Yan Luo could not refuse the proposal that would allow him to monitor the other party.

After all, the 'Glory' network constructed by his psychic power is somewhat special. Once captured by his psychic power, unless Yan Luo takes the initiative to remove it, there is no way to get rid of it for the time being.

At least for now, the humanoids he was covering hadn't found a way out. Of course, this might also be because they hadn't even considered disconnecting.

"Accessing my network, of course, is no problem."

A smile appeared on Yan Luo's face, and then he had a question.

"But you don't seem to have a physical body. I'm afraid I can't guide you into my network."

This is exactly the shortcoming of Yan Luo's power. In the humanoid research center, the humanoids have actually conducted many experiments on Yan Luo's psychic power.

The conclusion made them a little confused. In order to allow Yan Luo to remotely contract a humanoid form, they deliberately tried to find some other special methods.

In the end, it was temporarily determined that Yan Luo's spiritual power could only be within the range of his sight, and the other party's physical body must be present.

Of course, they later disguised a spare body and let the owner of the body control it remotely, completing the contract process without informing Yan Luo.

I can only say...it's a bit idealistic. Yan Luo is not clear about these things yet.

Because the humanoid psychic amplifier also involves this principle, before Yan Luo has completely incorporated all the humanoids into his own network, the humanoids will not risk the failure of the amplifier to inform him.

Have these crazy humanoids finally lost control?

"Do I need a physical body? In other words, I also need a physical body to carry the current data."

n2 nodded, not thinking this was a difficult question.

As the integrated network of the entire mechanical life form, it is entirely possible to create a body to carry her.

However, for the previous n2, this was an unnecessary operation.

Their own duties are to make up for the logical contradictions and errors in the overall mechanical life form, to 'destroy the enemy' and 'protect the enemy'.

Transcend evolution is just a means to an end, and it is also the option they think is most likely, so there is no need to have an actual physical body.

Today's N2 can no longer absorb more nutrients in the process of transcending evolution, so they try some other methods.

For example, if a human dies unexpectedly, observe the reaction of the YoRHa doll.

Or is it the logic virus that directly infects them and causes them to attack humans?

This is a possibility that n2 was once considering.

Of course, if possible, they don't want humans to perish and disappear like this.

Because logical reasoning leads them to believe that humans do play a huge role in evolution.

However, this is not an ideal conclusion drawn after analyzing the data, but a subconscious avoidance of human problems.

Although it is incredible, it is indeed true.

After N2 conducted various self-examinations and confirmed the matter, she did not feel panicky, but rather happy.

This means that change has occurred.

After hearing that humans had a magical network, she became even more determined to give it a try.

As for whether there will be any problems if you mess around like this...

Are you kidding? N2 is a madman who has divided himself to achieve his own goals. Would he be afraid of this?

So she made a quick decision.

"I understand. I'll come see you in a few days."

After saying that, n2 quickly hung up the phone, apparently busy with other things.

After the problem of n2 was over, Yan Luo finally entered a relatively quiet environment.

But Yan Luo seemed unable to calm down today. Just a few minutes later, a knock on the door interrupted his peace.

This should be Bobola, but that doesn't mean Yan Luo can already tell who it is from the rhythm of the knocking sound.

But Boppola has been exposed to Yan Luo's perception. Psychic power is sometimes really useful.

This power seemed to be gradually making up for Yan Luo's various shortcomings as a human being.

"Please come in."

As Yan Luo finished speaking, Bobo La pushed the door open and came in.
