Stellaris from the Automata Era

"I've long seen that, ultimately, his actions have been too indulgent towards us. Therefore, we must also respond to his expectations, such as crushing those 'invaders' in the border star regions."

"Are you sure...this isn't just some kind of delusion caused by the remnants of your original logic?"

"Perhaps. After all, as the One who destroys, I am also in charge of war."

Destruction tilted his head, and then the entire data space was filled with the image of the mechanical life form's research vessel being destroyed.

"Destroying our spaceship is a declaration of war!

Now let our frigates take the base and set off! Soon the master will find that the entire border star sector will pledge allegiance to him! "

Chapter 136: The opponent's technology is unknown, let's open a mine first

Behind the second wormhole is a star region that has not yet been brought under the Earth's rule.

In fact, N2’s thoughts were somewhat different from Yan Luo’s guess. They didn’t do anything just because they wanted an order.

And their purpose was very clear from the beginning: they wanted war.

Well, that's not quite right. It should be said that they want territory.

This should be based on the speech Yan Luo once gave to the humanoids, in which he hoped that the humanoids could build a glorious civilization, and he even used the word "command" at the end.

This is enough to prove how passionate humans are about this.

As the Earth has evolved into its current dual political system, it is natural that this expectation should now be placed on the Earth Federation.

The mechanical lifeforms felt it was time to do their part.

But what does a brilliant civilization need?

n2The first thing that comes to mind is territory, huge territory, super huge territory.

This condition, relying solely on humanoids, feels a bit difficult for n2.

How can those things that only know how to lick humans like defeated dogs do anything practical?

They can't even fight a good battle!

It seems that only their mechanical life forms are needed to facilitate this process. After all, there are too few people like them who are not flattering and are willing to work hard in the current environment on Earth.

Therefore, after getting Yan Luo's promise, N2 started to send his only frigate off with some equipment.

As for why the previous conversation between n2 (evolution) and Yan Luo is somewhat inconsistent with the current situation.

Maybe this was the result of them wanting to be riddlers and chat across servers.

In short, the process is no longer important.

"We shouldn't go to the site of the research vessel crash."

In the data space, n2 communicates.

"We brought a psychic beacon with us this time. We've taken over their previous data. I've discovered that there seem to be quite a few mineral planets nearby."

The lower-level network of the mechanical life form and Yan Luo's psychic network are completely different.

After being eroded by Yan Luo's spiritual energy, their networks were essentially changed, but their original functions were preserved intact.

This included N2 being able to freely access the data of the sub-individuals under her control, and none of the mechanical life forms had any way of getting rid of N2's network connection.

This makes no distinction between awakened and unawakened.

At most, the awakened round-headed n2 has a little weaker control over it.

Of course, their control ability also has a delay like signal transmission, but relying on Yan Luo's spiritual power can make up for this problem well.

You just need to bring a psychic beacon as a relay.

This time, with the psychic beacon, N2 directly captured Adam and his team's information and recent situation data on the distant Earth.

It seems to be still alive, but it is hiding in a somewhat awkward manner on a lifeless planet.

Well...this doesn't count the alien race that's hunting them.

In short, in the short term, they don't seem to have any major problems.

So after paying a little attention, n2 and the others quickly shifted their sights.

"We've also brought infrastructure equipment with us, so we can build our initial bases on the surrounding mineral planets. Given enough time, we'll be able to quickly assemble a powerful force capable of defeating those aliens."

This is not n2's arrogant statement.

According to the data transmitted from Adam, the alien race that was hunting them did not seem to be sending a large-scale fleet.

In other words, instead of maintaining troops in space, they established a base on the ground, as if guarding something.

In this case, as long as N2 develops secretly in the surrounding area for a period of time, it is entirely possible to establish a powerful cosmic army and gain an advantage in the sky.

However, there are still certain risks.

To be honest, in the screenshot, N2 seemed to see the process of the alien race building a base.

That looks like some kind of warp technology?

This kind of technological content really makes n2 a little confused.

They even suspected that if necessary, the other party might be able to produce a fleet in an instant.

"High war potential, but why does their way of fighting remind me of humanoids?"

"You mean, they also like close combat like humanoids?"

"Yes."

There was a brief silence in the communication in the data space.

Seeing guys who looked just like those lickers in such a remote area did make them feel a little down.

Even though there is a big difference in appearance, we will probably fight later anyway, so now we can find a reason to beat them up so that we can kill them.

At the same time, it can also make you feel happy.

"Confirming again, this alien race possesses unknown technology, possibly related to warp construction. They prefer close combat, primarily using the light blades on their wrists. They also possess impressive ranged abilities, and...what's that? A white ball?"

"With such a powerful energy reaction, we may need to be more cautious."

"Indeed, then now... Laozi-class frigate, go to the nearest mineral planet and drop off all the infrastructure equipment on you..."

Then come back and pull another batch.”

These two women are sick!

A certain Laozi-class frigate who received the order was slandering in his heart.

It is loaded with 12 balls and countless shooting round heads, and it is obviously a powerful battleship.

It was actually being used as a transport ship, which naturally made it a little dissatisfied. It already had quite a few complaints about its two superior managers.

Now the resentment is even deeper.

Of course, it could only talk about some banned and blocked words in its heart. The last speech incident had made it see the dominance of the two networks N2 over mechanical life forms.

It also changed from a sphere into a spaceship that could soar in the universe.

Overall, the results don't seem too bad.

But it cannot guarantee what it will be changed into next if it says something this time.

Therefore, we just headed towards the marked target planet.

As a frigate, it should not have the cargo carrying capacity.

However, due to the special design of the mechanical life forms, they do not need to provide crew members for the ships. In addition, they use energy weapons, so it seems that they do not even need to stockpile ammunition.

The original plan was to design the frigate to have a more solid interior in order to increase the structural hardness.

However, considering that this would increase the tonnage and make it difficult to work on planets with gravity, no major changes were ultimately made.

But this also saves just enough space for loading and unloading goods.

From this perspective, it seems that the mechanical life form's frigate also serves as an armed transport ship.

In terms of size and tonnage, this little guy, who is only a few dozen meters tall, is far superior to a humanoid.

"I understand, I'll go right away."

Chapter 137: Now that the population has increased, we can start a new attack.

"N2 seems to be very busy lately."

The mechanical life form's escort ship came to Earth to pick up equipment, and its frequent movements in and out of the atmosphere naturally could not be hidden from the humanoid's detection.

Although the humanoid's current vision is indeed a bit weak, it still has the ability to scatter detectors around the entire earth.

In addition, at this stage, neither human nor mechanical life forms have yet developed anti-detection technology.

Therefore, N2's strange behavior was eventually reported to Yan Luo by the humanoid, and someone strongly suggested that this needed special attention.

At the same time, if necessary, we will intervene with force, and the humanoids are willing to serve and lead the charge.

Judging from the situation, it seems that they are going to wipe out the entire family.

Of course, this matter was suppressed by Yan Luo, after all, n2 had obtained his authorization.

The reason why their spacecraft frequently enters and leaves the Earth is not clear yet, but it is likely to be closely related to the crash of the scientific research vessel.

After some guesses in his mind, Yan Luo naturally decided to let it go and let N2 play on his own.

And after more than ten days, space almost became a solo show for mechanical life forms.

As the ships under construction at N2 were launched one by one, many frigates had already made more than one trip to and from Earth.

It seems that the noise is getting louder and louder.

"I don't know what they are doing, but I always feel like they are giving me a headache."

Border star zone.

At this time, Yan Luo was feeling the two mechanical networks that were giving him a headache, and was planning whether to launch a tentative attack on the dead planet occupied by the alien race.

In recent days, they have established a firm foothold on the uninhabited mining planet nearby by relying on the infrastructure equipment brought in by frigates.

In the early days, they relied on infrastructure transported from Earth, but the frequency of this transportation actually became a bit slow later on.

After all, the development of the mechanical race itself does not rely on long-distance transportation.

They are building infrastructure simply because it is a necessary initial investment.

As time went on, the first simple factories were built on mineral planets, and then their development speed gradually grew like a snowball.

In fact, the conditions on Earth limit the expansion of round heads.

Especially due to various factors such as the constant harassment from logically exclusive humanoids, the war potential of mechanical life forms has never been fully utilized.

But now, on the remote mineral planets in the star region, they have the opportunity to demonstrate their strength.

Not only can they expand their factories exponentially, but the fact that no one comes to harass them allows them to be in a very comfortable state.

Just like now, in just ten days, they have gathered about 100,000 round heads.

Ten thousand a day...this number doesn't seem to be a big deal.

But this is just the average production capacity over time. If we really want to calculate it, we should start with the improvement of their production efficiency.

For example, on the first day, only 100 round heads came off the production line, on the second day, 500... and on the tenth day, a total of .

How much efficiency has increased in the middle? People who can't count would have been confused long ago.

This is not something that can be described simply as good operation.

So this is why N2 feels that it is time to launch a tentative attack to test the waters.

There is actually a second reason as well.

Adam, who had been hiding in the dead planet, seemed to have finally been caught.

They are currently surrounded by dozens of aliens holding light blades. N2 estimates that if they don't go to rescue them, they will only be able to recover the remains.

Although N2 and the others were not particularly interested in Adam's life or death, they came here under the pretext of rescue.
