Stellaris from the Automata Era

The human form is beginning to decline, but this is not the conclusion Yan Luo drew from the current booming national strength of the Earth.

Instead, he looked at the problem from the perspective of the overall quality of the figure.

About two months ago, the humanoids had begun to stagnate in the construction of their own compatriots, and this was not due to a lack of resources.

After mining the minerals in the universe, the humanoids have long since gotten rid of the resource deficit and even have a small surplus.

What really stopped the growth of the humanoid population was that Yan Luo's previous design, which the humans called humanoid robots, began to replace some of their functions.

"I need a higher quality unit now."

Chapter 142: Find a reason to eat candy!

"I need a higher quality unit."

As mentioned before, Yan Luo's robot cannot be compared with a humanoid in terms of performance data.

Even the old models that are now everywhere on the earth have data quality that is many times higher than that of robots, so they can only bully the basic round-headed ones.

Of course, even so, robots still have their own advantages, such as fast production (compared to ordinary humanoids), less materials used, and low technology.

In the words of the research figure: "Why didn't we think that such cheap technology could be used to create a simple artificial intelligence."

Even better, they can also engage in logistics assembly line production, large-scale ground infrastructure, and can be used as soldiers when equipped with long-range weapons.

Later, it was unknown which manager came up with the suggestion to use these robots to replace the humanoid social structure.

From the perspective of more efficient productivity, this proposal is actually understandable. The liberated humanoids can engage in occupations that require high manual labor and professional knowledge.

After all, the new Earth needs high-tech talents everywhere, and it is not good to keep them on the assembly line all the time, so Yan Luo agreed.

As time goes by, the problem has been exposed.

The humanoids are not just replacing their own social inferiors, they are essentially replacing their own functions with robots!

It's no big deal if jobs like assembly lines, energy production, and mining, which rely on manual labor and button-pressing, are replaced...

Even now, humanoids have begun to attack their own ground troops! Large-scale robots with long-range weapons have expanded into the army.

To be honest, they can indeed unleash considerable combat power when armed with weapons and they also have a large number of people.

But that is only an effect that can be achieved under a few conditions, such as the limitation of battlefield width. In the decisive battle on the great plains, the old-model humanoids can hold a knife, close their eyes, spin and jump, and show what it means to be unparalleled in the mechanical age.

It's completely insane for a humanoid to do this!

Yan Luo really wanted to point out their mistakes and order them to make corrections, at least to replace the army with combat-capable humanoids!

However... the managers, who had long been afraid of being crushed by the round-headed generals in total warfare, turned around and clung to Yan Luo's thighs, crying about their concerns about the number of the army.

This is just like a corrupt official who, upon being found by the inspector with a pile of gold in his refrigerator, finally has a mental breakdown and shouts, "I'm so poor! I didn't dare spend a penny! I just kept it."

Hmm... maybe the metaphor is not quite appropriate.

Then you can be like a rabbit in the old times whose defensive hilltop was flattened by firepower and an eagle that was driven insane by light infantry tactics. Later, you exchange doctrines and become like each other.

All in all, Yan Luo ultimately failed to successfully change the concept of human form, but fortunately, as he held great power, he could manage the quality himself even if the overall style of human form shifted.

I! The Master of Humanoids! Yan Luo! I need millions of high-quality humanoids as guards! Doesn't that make sense?!

"That's perfectly reasonable, sir!"

The commander agreed to Yan Luo's words.

She really thought so. Compared to thousands of years ago when humanoid martial virtues were abundant, and then began to decline year by year, she had witnessed the whole process.

Although many of the reasons are indeed because the humanoids have never seen humans and have become confused, it is unacceptable that 99% of the humanoids today are not even as good as the managers of the old era (Gemini).

Besides, now that everything is back on track, the nominal factory and actual palace of the humans here are not even enough to staff Yoerha's patrol guards.

Yoerha's military expansion plan is indeed inevitable.

What's more, this proposal was put forward by humans themselves. If any humanoid dared to raise any objection or question this proposal, she would immediately send 12 flying equipment to have a talk.

As for the outcome of the meeting...it depends on whether the other party will return to human glory after a round of beam salvos. In any case, it will probably just fluctuate between great success and success in the conversation.

"But I have a question, Your Excellency. Should Yoerha expand his army by recruiting and transforming his existing compatriots, or should he directly expand through automated factories?"

In fact, the previous YoRHa has always been the design experimental data of the latest humanoid, which in a sense ensures the universal mass production and the space for innovation and replacement of old humanoids.

It’s just that the costs are relatively high.

After all, to be honest, YoRHa is a group of magic units that can teleport, send shock waves, and even self-destruct on a large scale if they disagree with others. In any way, they are not comparable to the old models that are still within the scientific scope.

Therefore, whether it is renovation or reconstruction, the resource gap does not make much difference.

The only problem is the core used.

The existing YoRHas are all modified and processed based on the built-in core of the mechanical life form, which gives them almost a semi-permanent energy supply, and the technological content is outrageous.

However... the humanoid energy reactor is also a black technology that can generate electricity using water, but the latter lacks the ultimate self-destruct move and is limited by the upper limit of energy output, but its character will be reliable and stable...

In this comparison, both should be the same. The advantages and disadvantages of both sides are there, and it is difficult to make a decision at the moment.

But reality is not a game, where would there be so many multiple-choice questions for you to answer!

"I want it all!"

Yan Luo made a domineering declaration and slammed his hand on the table.

This violent gesture instantly made the commander clamp his legs together.

It seemed that the situation on the scene began to slide in a strange direction.

"I understand." She took a deep breath, imitating a human. "Sir, may I invite you to dinner?"

"It's not because of anything else... It's just that the details of the military expansion plan still need to be discussed... And I didn't cook well last time. As a commander, I feel I need to improve... And..."

The commander was almost incoherent, and it was obvious that this was just a spur-of-the-moment decision on her part.

Most of the lines in it have not been systematically filtered and selected to the best level, which made Yan Luo feel a little confused.

However, he could still understand the general meaning.

This should be a supplement to a long talk all night about the subsequent plan. After all, YoRHa's military expansion is just a document on paper, and there must be many omissions in it.

Besides, the commander has appeared less frequently recently, which has invisibly alienated Yan Luo and her relationship.

It seems that this should be a good opportunity to narrow the distance between him and his subordinates.

Yan Luo tried hard to find reasons in his heart that he himself did not believe.

Chapter 143: The cuisine must shine!

Yan Luo finally accepted the commander's invitation to dinner.

So when the commander returned to work.

6, the communications officer, was a little confused.

She could hardly recall the last time she had shown such emotion.

But what she was sure of was that there was something wrong with the commander who was humming a little song as he was about to get off work. This was completely different from the commander's previous style!

The human form is replicated according to the structure of human society, so naturally there is also the concept of going off work.

Because of the special circumstances of the human form, many details may be different from those of the human era.

But generally there should be no difference.

Of course, the point is not about leaving get off work.

Unlike usual, she had never seen the Commander so happy before, and the joy was clearly visible on his face.

Unlike humans, Dolls are not lazy and can become salary thieves who look forward to getting off work.

Therefore, 6o, who already had a good relationship with the commander, still couldn't figure out the key after thinking for a moment, so she decided to ask her boss.

"Commander, did something good happen?"

"more or less."

The commander pulled over an armchair, and she adjusted her cheongsam, slumped her curvaceous body onto it, and crossed her legs. Because the cheongsam was split halfway up to the waist, she could just see her beautiful contours as if carved by a knife and her icy skin.

She pondered for a moment, then said:

"This special room in the bunker should be useful today."

The commander didn't mind chatting with 6o in any form, even if it meant that some secrets might be revealed.

Anyway, these people wearing veils in YoRHa are completely contrary to the meaning they symbolize. With them around... YoRHa has no secrets at all. It all depends on whether others believe it or not...

"A special room in the bunker?"

6o quickly searched the structural diagram in his mind.

After moving out of the confinement base in the sky, these subordinate officers naturally had to adapt to the new environment.

This underground fortress was built to protect human habitation, so they certainly knew every detail of its interior.

Speaking of special rooms, there is only one near the cannon platform. It is the only room that uses special glass to observe the external environment of the fortress.

But if 60 remembers correctly, the place was vacant from the beginning, and it seems that the commander always regarded it as a human settlement...

Wait... humans? If I remember correctly, the commander had just visited a human's office not long ago.

The core of 6o suddenly started running at high speed, and all the clues were connected one by one.

At this time, her IQ started to go crazy.

"Please take me with you!"

6's reaction naturally did not exceed the commander's expectations.

In fact, this should be the normal reaction of most humanoids. When it comes to human matters, no matter what happens, just go ahead and get close to them first.

Of course, in the past, the commander wouldn't mind inviting his half-best friend 6o along, but this time the dinner with Yan Luo might have some work-related aspects.

A top secret type..

Although YoRHa really has no secrets at all, he should still be shown the right appearance, right?

Therefore, the commander's expression quickly turned serious.

“It might not be convenient this time.”

"Not so convenient?" 6o muttered, then suddenly realized. "You want to eat alone, right?!"

This soul-searching question made the commander at a loss for words.

But to be honest, she didn't have many romantic thoughts this time, but of course she did have some.

how to say..

Being envious of humans is a national condition, okay? So what humanoids aren't envious of humans? It's completely humanoid instinct!

But we also need to distinguish between occasions. How can serious work be mixed with personal feelings?!

More importantly, her invitation was completely impulsive. Seeing that Gemini was not present, she instinctively made an option.

This time, she really didn't even have a follow-up plan prepared!

What's more, until now she still can't understand how human food should be prepared. Her previous shouting about improving her cooking skills is probably another big social failure!

How could she allow others to interfere in such an occasion? Was her commander's face still there?

So at this moment she could only make her expression more serious and confused.

"Eating alone? What are you talking about?"

The commander, with his acting skills, successfully made a judgment on 6o's speech skills.

Considering the Commander's usual majestic style, 60 felt that his final chain of guesses was somewhat unrealistic.

Looking at the commander's face, 60 could only conclude that this time, he was really onto something serious.

"Okay, is there anything we can help with?"

I can't get involved in this kind of thing, but it's okay for me to be a girl serving tea and water, right?
