Stellaris from the Automata Era

In fact, anyone with a little experience basically understands that if you want to save your life, it is better to find a reason to shamefully surrender at this time.

Besides, work isn't shabby! The great cause of humanoids entering the universe still needs his guidance! How can we be sentimental now?

With this realization, Yan Luo quickly stood up, and then because of the huge movement, his body, which had not been exercised, immediately responded with a tearing feeling of muscle soreness, expressing his dissatisfaction.

This couldn't help but make Yan Luo's expression change.

This subtle expression was quickly caught by Bobo La. Although she couldn't interpret the meaning behind his expression in a short time, she still asked, "Sir, are you sick?"

It's no wonder she thought so.

Yan Luo had been working all night long recently to draw his own blueprints, which in itself took away too much of his energy, and then there was the long "night" yesterday.

This has exceeded the human body's limit of endurance.

To be honest, if nothing goes wrong even after this, Bobo La would suspect that Yan Luo's body is also made of steel.

However, when he saw the human standing up just now, there was a hint of pain on his face, which was obviously a sign of illness.

Based on her knowledge and understanding of humans, she could only think of illness for the time being.

Yan Luo quickly controlled his expression and looked at Boppola seriously and solemnly.

"No, I feel fine. I'm just wondering why Divara is gone."

Is this the reaction of this expression?

Although she felt a little surprised that her analysis was incorrect, Bobo La did not think much about it.

Based on her understanding of Yan Luo, he was not the type who would try to hold on even when he was in trouble.

Therefore, I quickly accepted this statement, thought about it seriously and gave a response.

"She should be starting her work. The mechanical lifeforms' research vessel is about to go out to sea, and she needs to go and make contact with them."

So that’s it, Yan Luo nodded thoughtfully.

It’s not too difficult to understand that the scientific research team of mechanical life forms is Adam and Eve.

Because of their body shape, they are the second most popular character that people want to remove at this stage. (N2 is the first)

Even in today's peaceful environment, humanoids still have complaints about their bodies and are not usually well-received.

Only when Bobo La and Diwara think from Yan Luo's perspective can they face it calmly, so it is reasonable to let Diwara go over to contact them.

To be honest, Yan Luo has always been deeply skeptical about whether these two people can do this job. After all, they should be good at fighting.

But scientific research...this is still subject to discussion.

Of course, the main goal at this stage is just to explore and expand the surrounding map. It seems that it doesn’t make any difference who comes. Isn’t this something that can be done with hands!

So Yan Luo just let the two brothers mess around outside the earth.

"By the way, is there any other news recently?"

"It really is." Popola said with a strange expression. "A new wormhole has been discovered."

She should have told Yan Luo this yesterday, but at that time she and Diwara saw that each other was too tired.

Forcing them to sleep caused them to forget their original purpose.

Now that she was reminded of this, Bobola really remembered it.

"A new wormhole? In the solar system?"

"No, it's behind the wormhole."

A wormhole behind a wormhole? That sounds a bit confusing.

At the same time, it was a bit bad for Yan Luo.

At first glance, it sounds like a coincidence that a wormhole was discovered right behind a newly discovered galaxy.

This seems like a great fortune that only a chosen person can encounter.

A natural wormhole itself is equivalent to a cosmic wonder. It is a remarkable thing for a civilization to encounter one. But if it encounters two at once, and one is passing through the other, then it becomes a big problem.

His intuition told him that this was not an accident.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that there must be someone behind this.

As for who it was, Yan Luo immediately thought of a high-dimensional creature who had signed a contract with him.

Although the other party had promised not to interfere with him anymore, but when he thought back to when he said this, he added a "bar" at the end.

With such spiritual words, he probably wasn't sure himself.

Fortunately, Yan Luo could be sure that the man had absolutely no ill intentions.

Well, if he hadn't added another fifty years...

"Has an exploration team been sent behind the newly discovered wormhole?"

"Not yet. I'll leave it to you to decide."

"That's a good opportunity for Adam and the others to practice."

Chapter 133: Is the person opposite you blind?

The Earth is clearly on the rise, and this is something that can be seen with the naked eye.

As time went on, the humanoid space dock located outside the Earth's orbit was finally completed. The moment this big guy was completely built, the humanoids couldn't wait to test its production speed.

The object of the experiment was naturally the battlecruiser they had already replicated.

The results are pretty good. It is estimated that it will only take about three months for them to have five cruisers available to go to sea at the same time.

You should know that the battleship, which has been modified into a humanoid replica, has a length of 550 meters, a width of about 300 meters, and a height of nearly 85 meters. With such a large size and such a construction speed, it can be said to be quite fast.

Moreover, compared with all the current ships, only engineering ships can be compared with it in terms of size. Think about the time it took to build them, and then compare them now to see the difference.

Of course, their engineering ships were not for combat purposes, and there were no space docks to build them at that time. If we really compare military and civilian use, the scale will be reduced.

So let’s take a look back at our competitors, the frigates of the round-headed guys.

Let's not talk about the size for now. Five 5-meter-class frigates are not enough to fight against a single cruiser. According to N2's own report, one is built every 30 days, and there are 20 more under construction at the same time.

In terms of firepower, the Laozi-class frigate has 12 large mechanical life forms as main guns that can easily tear through large armor, and there are more than 100 auxiliary shooting round heads to ensure all-round 360-degree coverage without blind spots.

As for the humanoid battlecruisers, the humanoids did not understand the technological content of the replicated plasma main guns and could not imitate them, so they simply dismantled them and replaced them with what they understood, and directly installed two heavy electromagnetic guns on the front of the battleship.

The power should not be much worse than the original one, and the rest is just to supplement the escort firepower. There are about 30 laser cannons, most of which are installed under the battleship.

"How come the data shows you're still not as good as Roundhead?"

Yan Luo was quite surprised when he received the data of the humanoid battleship. In recent times, apart from being busy drawing blueprints, he has been dealing with the Gemini.

This fulfilling life made him forget to pay attention to the large-scale construction plan of the humanoids for a while. It was not until their drawings were stuffed into the dock and started construction that he remembered and took a look at their paper data.

In an instant, Yan Luo felt that there seemed to be too many problems here.

"Sir, you can't say that! Those round-headed warships are made of paper! One of our main guns can send them to the scrapyard."

The person who was talking to Yan Luo was naturally the humanoid manager Hong. Since Yan Luo came to power, those managers seemed to have mastered Yan Luo's habits.

Generally speaking, you won't go to them for small matters, as Gemini will convey them. But once the time comes to meet them, it depends on the situation.

It depends on whether you want to meet all of them or just their spokespersons.

Everyone is planning the future strategic direction, while the spokesperson is probably preparing to be scolded.

Therefore, when Yan Luo asked the managers to come for a personal talk, they all slipped away as if they were already familiar with the process.

In other words, Hong seemed to have gotten used to this situation and consciously connected to Yan Luo's communication.

"Even their 12 main guns can cut you into pieces!"

This is the truth. The firepower arrangement of mechanical life forms is extremely crazy. To put it bluntly, if Yan Luo could accept it physically, he would always feel that they are more to his liking than human forms.

Moreover, the armor of this humanoid replica of the battleship does not seem to be anything special.

It's as thin as paper, and it's no joke that the 12 main guns of the mechanical life form can easily cut it.

Obviously, the humanoids are also aware of this problem, but they are not much better than others in materials science.

Their improved armor isn't much different from the original, at most it's like a piece of paper folded in half.

This situation is quite embarrassing. When two weapons have high attack and low defense, the only difference is whose gun group has a faster firing rate.

Fortunately, in the battlefields of the universe, the main factors in fighting are not armor and power, but also distance.

So at this time, Hong can still be full of confidence.

"Sir, our weapons have an effective range of one thousand kilometers. Roundhead's beams definitely can't reach as far as ours."

"You did state a fact."

Yan Luo nodded.

The range of mechanical life forms' weapons is indeed generally worrying. According to N2, it is only about 100 to 200 kilometers.

If someone doesn't know what this means, it can be understood as the lowest altitude of Earth's early spy satellites in the old days.

It sounds like the fight can be fought from a long distance, but you have to know that for space warfare, a distance of 100 kilometers is only equivalent to close combat.

Of course, Yan Luo didn't expect that the humanoid's range could be like in a certain game called Stellaris, where it could easily hit an astronomical distance (from the earth to the sun).

But at least the range can be controlled at 10 kilometers? At least it can be considered a bow and arrow shooting.

However, he is not unacceptable to 1 kilometers for the time being. After all, the rise and replacement of technology always requires a process of advancement.

Becoming fat in one bite is something you can only dream of.

However, looking at the report on paper, Yan Luo still had a question.

"Speaking of which, what about our beyond-visual-range range? Why don't I see it in the reports?"

The so-called beyond visual range is naturally beyond the limit of what the eyes can see, and it is also an important factor on the battlefield.

If you can't see the enemy and don't know where they are, no matter how far you fire your artillery, it will be useless.

Obviously, when hearing this question, Hong hesitated.

It's not that she didn't know the range of her own field of vision, but it was a little difficult to say, but when faced with human inquiries, she had to answer.

Finally she bit:

"Less than a thousand kilometers."

"Less than a thousand?"

Yan Luo repeated in a low voice.

This answer was a bit intriguing. He could sense the perfunctory tone of the red-haired woman in front of him, but this was not because she had lost her awe of humans.

Even through the psychic network, Yan Luo could feel the tension coming from the other side. If he had to make a serious analogy, it would probably be like a student being called out by the teacher to answer a question in class.

Faced with the right or wrong of my answer, I fell into the fear of the unknown.

"This is too vague, could you be more specific?"

"This..." Hong hesitated again, but finally answered cautiously. "Due to various reasons, our current accurate range is approximately 300 kilometers."

"300 kilometers?" Yan Luo was stunned at first.

"Do you think the person opposite you is blind?"

Chapter 134: Earth is not allowed to have a second research ship

"Even if I install a telescope on a boat, I can still see farther than this, right?"

In fact, Yan Luo was just speaking out of anger. Astronomical telescopes could not be used for long-distance ranging on the battlefield due to various reasons such as light resolution.

However, at a distance of three hundred kilometers, this is actually no different from hoping that the person on the other side is blind.

Think about it, in the old days, it only took 100 minutes for Earth rockets to fly to 10 kilometers in space. This was the speed under the most basic chemical fuels and the limitations of the earth's gravity and air resistance.

In the outer space environment, for a spacecraft equipped with a curvature engine, the difference between 100 kilometers and 300 kilometers is just the difference between stepping on the accelerator once and twice.

By the time they see someone in their field of vision, they are almost ready for close combat.
