Stellaris from the Automata Era

Then a projection popped up where the sphere had originally stood.

11b on the other side looked at it for a long time before realizing that this should be a map showing a panoramic view of some direction.

If nothing goes wrong, it should indicate the direction of the psychic beacon.

"It's a bit crude." She complained after comparing it with her own built-in map.

Naturally, someone reacted and refuted it.

"This is the environment of the universe."

"Anyway, we're quite a distance away from the nearest psychic beacon, which is also the wormhole exit. But if we accelerate, we can get there in four hours. From there, we'll recalibrate our direction and set off again."

This proposal is the most helpless option at the moment.

Although they now understand the urgency of time, every bit of time wasted will put the scientific researchers stranded on an unknown planet in great danger.

But without any better method, their aimless search based on their current position will only lead them further away from their goal.

You have to know that the universe can travel forward, backward, left, right, up and down, and there is no concept of direction at all!

Therefore, everyone knows that at this time everyone knows that re-proofreading is the best option.

However, as a mechanical life form, Spherical Marvin is still a little confused.

It asked from behind:

"Humanoid, that blue dot of yours should represent a network relay point, right?"

Marvin's network relay point is the so-called beacon. Humanoids and mechanical life forms use different names for it due to habit.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Naturally, one of the humanoids' attention was drawn away. Similarly, 11b next to him was also quite curious about why the ball asked such a question, and was watching the situation on the field.

Under the gaze of the two, the ball quickly gave its answer.

"And what are the yellow dots?"

"Yellow dot?"

The humanoid was confused for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed.

He glanced at the panorama and indeed saw a tiny, inconspicuous yellow dot.

Then he pulled up the joystick, and the bow of the transport ship slowly turned in a direction.

Then I saw a bright light getting closer and closer.

"Our long-range detectors... damn, the transport ship doesn't have that capability!"

After all, the humanoids had just entered the universe and did not have much experience. The transport ship was a simplified version and its functions were much reduced compared to the engineering ship simulated during their training.

As a result, I can't do anything if I want to observe what's in front of me from a distance.

However, they may not need long-range equipment.

Because soon the bright light in front of them was approaching them rapidly.

No, close to is not appropriate.

And very close to them, a huge shadow appeared.

Then it quickly became solid, and then a "steel monster" appeared in their sight.

"Warp?"

"We've encountered another civilization!"

Chapter 125: If You're Not Dead, You Should Engage in a Boarding Battle

"We've encountered another civilization!"

Anyone who was able to get on the scientific research fleet before naturally possessed a strong level of scientific research and knowledge.

He quickly determined what he was facing.

In fact, after entering the universe, the humanoids also conducted research on technologies applicable to the universe, including space folding.

Obviously, now is not the time for them to get everything they want at once, but humanoids have a natural advantage in this kind of space technology.

After all, when they were still on the surface, the magic elements they developed were already able to achieve instant teleportation.

I don't think there will be too much technical difficulty.

But these have nothing to do with the current situation. A humanoid who works as a driver and scientific researcher understands that a normal civilization that wants to reach the heights of the universe also needs warp technology.

Compared with their human form, this technological strength is like that of a god.

Although he didn't want to belittle himself, to be honest, if the humans of the old era hadn't left them with unscientific magic, the humans of today would have taken them on a bold and unscientific journey into the universe.

If they want to start exploring the universe with their abilities, they have to first defeat the mechanical life forms. This will take at least a thousand years or even several thousand years.

So when the other party suddenly jumped on his face, he almost wanted to step on the accelerator and run away.

But his action was stopped.

"Wait! Something's wrong!" 11b was very calm.

Having stayed by Yan Luo's side for so long, he didn't learn anything, but he did learn how to remain fearless in the face of danger and to fight to the death, which he did very well.

Of course, the main reason may be that she is not very clear about the value of the opponent's technology. Besides, it doesn't really matter even if she dies on the spot.

Everyone here had backed up their data before setting off. At most, they could just walk out of the Earth factory in a few hours and start over.

Moreover, she had heard from the humanoids in the scientific research center that the adults' glory network seemed to have an alternative way of storing data.

Soul Return Card... Rong Guang is not just talking about it. Now those guys who study it all day are trying to export the data stored in Rong Guang after his sacrifice.

It seems that no one has died yet, so there are no experimental subjects.

She 11b might even be the first humanoid to try something new!

Well...if possible, I don’t really want to eat this crab 11b.

"There's something wrong." 11b pointed at the 'steel behemoth' in front of him.

There was indeed a problem. The stopped humanoid quickly looked at the 'steel behemoth', which should be a space battleship.

Due to the lack of detailed reference objects in the universe, it is impossible to measure the distance, so its size cannot be determined, but humans instinctively feel that it should be a huge creature.

However, compared to its huge body, what everyone cares about more is that its body is covered with pus-like substances.

This description may not be accurate. If I have to say it, it is probably a group of round lumps of flesh growing on the body of a steel creature.

Everyone could even see the piece of meat rising and falling like a beating heart.

"What is this?"

Seeing this scene, a certain humanoid instantly shouted in surprise.

Is it a combination of steel and some kind of creature? Or has it been invaded by something?

"I'm not sure, but I can imagine how disgusting it would feel if it grew on me."

Everyone tends to believe that the piece of meat above is not from the steel creature itself.

The strange style of painting they form is unacceptable to the aesthetic taste of human figures.

Even Marvin, a mechanical life form with a different human form, expressed his malice bluntly, even though his aesthetic was different from that of humans.

It also felt extremely uneasy about the appearance of this big guy in front of it.

In this respect, it is much better than the figure in black clothes next to it.

"Listen, something doesn't feel right to me. We better get out of here."

Is there such a thing as a mechanical life form having feelings?

I'd like to complain about 11b and a certain doll, but they may not have the time for that.

The space battleship that warped in front of them had already started its next move after a short conversation.

A substance like a beam of light gathered at its bow.

Looking at all this, 11b made his own evaluation:

"It looks to me like it's charging some kind of weapon."

The mechanical life sphere next to it also had the same feeling.

"It's somewhat similar to the principle of the laser weapons in my eyes."

The only one of the three human beings in the cockpit who was trying a little bit started to roar.

"It's just recharging its weapon! Hold on tight! I'm going to evade!"

He stepped on the accelerator suddenly and grabbed the joystick to try to make a climb-like operation.

However, the disadvantages of the transport ship they were riding in the universe were exposed at this time.

Because at the beginning they had not considered the possibility of encountering spacecraft from other civilizations, and the mission of the transport ship itself was only to transport goods.

So there aren't enough gyroscopes on it to provide enough force for emergency steering.

In fact, even its normal turning is very slow, but it is barely enough for the humanoid's current cosmic environment.

Now, before a humanoid climbed up, it happened to be facing the warship in front, which made it difficult for him to have enough time to completely climb away.

"I feel like it's almost fully charged! Too late! I'm going to start the engine! Pray we don't crash!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator, and the spaceship 11b was on rushed straight towards the battleship in front of him.

"We're about to crash! Stop or turn!"

It's totally impossible! Let's not beat around the bush. I've already explained why.

Just talking about stopping...it takes a certain amount of time. After all, the principle of the curvature engine is to fold space, creating folds to allow the space to push you forward.

To put it in a more vivid way, it is like a ship in the sea, relying on the waves.

The instantaneous kinetic energy generated at this time can be stopped immediately.

So in the end, everyone could only watch in despair as they approached "little by little," and the image of glass in front of them, which might be the enemy's command room or observation post, became larger and larger.

"That's good. The power generated by the curvature should be enough for us to penetrate the battleship in front of us."

At the end of the tour, 11b felt that it had paralyzed a warship at the cost of one of its own transport ships.

It doesn't sound too bad.

When I go back to life, it seems that soaking in the hot springs would be quite prestigious and not shameful.

With this thought in mind, 11b closed his eyes peacefully.

'boom'

The kinetic energy of the collision between the two ships arrived as expected, but the miraculous thing was that despite the huge difference in size, the transport ship was not crushed.

Instead, it got stuck inside the battleship. So after a series of kinetic energy impacts, 11b managed to survive thanks to its tenacious physique.

"Hey? I'm still alive!"

Chapter 11: From now on, B will be an army general!

"Is there anyone still alive? Everyone, get up quickly."

It turns out that 11b is indeed magical in a sense.

When the two ships collided, her small transport ship not only suffered no damage, but was even stuck inside the warship.

Not only that, it seemed that few people died on the ship.

Except for a few unlucky people, everyone is really unlucky.

So when she left the cockpit, she said goodbye to a humanoid whose hand was accidentally crushed by the ball during the collision.

All the army and navy members who were staggering in the hold were quickly gathered together.

If you count carefully, you should be able to make up the number of people for two companies, which is about 300 people.
