Stellaris from the Automata Era

Although it can't be compared with close and long-term contact with humans, at least it can satisfy your craving!

The commander seemed to have no reason to refuse such a request.

“It seems that there really is…”

So 6 happily reached a deal with the commander.

Time passed quickly, and according to the customs of the old times, it should be eight o'clock in the evening.

When Yan Luo once again walked into Yoerha's base, he naturally attracted the attention of many humanoids.

After briefly greeting them and bewitching all the passing figures, Yan Luo walked straight to the location he and the commander had agreed upon, the room in the bunker that he had requested to be placed in.

After pushing open the door, it was obvious that the commander had been waiting here for a long time.

"Good evening, Your Excellency."

When the commander saw Yan Luo coming, he quickly stood up straight. It seemed that she was the only one in the room at this time.

It seems like 6 was fooled by her after all. She only had her do some room arrangement. In the end, it seems she even missed the chance to encounter humans. What a loss...

However, Yan Luo was not aware of these episodes for the time being. The first thing he saw when he entered the room was the food placed on the table.

It seems that the commander has actually received special training in cooking and has studied the eating habits of the old Chinese.

This time there was no magic trick to turn food into coal, but the food was cooked very well.

It's a simple meal of three dishes and one soup... Maybe the commander really put in a lot of effort, the menu she made seemed to have grasped the two major elements of color and aroma.

Before I even got close, I could smell a perfume-like aroma, and the dishes were full of colorful colors. Even though the room was a little dim, it couldn't stop them from emitting a luster.

Then Yan Luo approached carefully, lightly dipped his finger in the sauce on the plate, and put it under his nose to smell it.

Then his expression turned strange.

"Your paint isn't dry yet. What else did you add besides perfume to cover up the smell?"

"Phosphor..."

Chapter 144: The Journey is the Sea of ​​Stars

It turned out that the Geminis were foresighted and had let Yan Luo have his meal before he set off.

As for the question of him meeting the commander, the wild fox... after the first one got to home plate, they didn't seem to care much about it.

After all, they haven't lost control to the point where they have to hold humans in their hands.

Of course, the more likely possibility is that the person Yan Luo is meeting alone with this time is not the other twin pair next door. Compared with the external pressure, the commander can barely be considered an internal member.

The meat is rotten in their own pot anyway. As long as Yan Luo can handle it, they don't seem to have much of an opinion.

On the other hand, Yan Luo...

He really came with a work mentality this time.

First of all, we must admit that the commander was wearing a cheongsam that was as light as a gauze. In the dim light, she looked like she was in smoke, and her long golden hair was a dazzling embellishment combined with her serious face.

It is conceivable that the temperament of the royal sister is at its peak.

This is a completely different style from Gemini.

To say I'm not moved is simply deceiving myself.

But how to say it.

This is just like answering a multiple-choice question. Only children will choose to have everything, while adults know they can't afford it.

How could a humanoid with unlimited physical strength possibly be controlled by humans? Even if we exceed our limits, it's impossible!

Just by looking at the commander, he felt a vague pain on both sides of his waist while he was daydreaming.

In fact, the recent "non-free" scenes have forced Yan Luo to go to bed early and get up early to take care of his body.

That's why he can now talk to the commander so calmly about the important internal affairs of the humanoid.

After declining the commander's dinner which could be considered an assassination, Yan Luo decided to get straight to the point of today.

"Regarding Yoerha's military expansion plan, what are your thoughts on its development?"

Who cares about this stuff? Is this what we're mainly talking about today?

The commander wanted to shout like this, but he considered that he had already lost most of the initiative because of his own reasons.

The opportunity slipped away in vain, so she didn't know what to say. She could only restrain her expression and get into work mode.

"Roughly speaking," the commander pulled over a steel chair and sat down after receiving Yan Luo's consent. "Sir, you should understand the overall situation of our humanoids now, right?"

"almost."

Yan Luo nodded.

"Before I tell you my thoughts, sir, what do you hope we humans will become? Or what is your wish?"

Everything about humanoids is stagnant; they no longer have progress or innovation.

This is normal. After all, they did not appear to replace humans in the beginning, but to serve as auxiliary units for humans.

Therefore, their logic and design have always been closely related to humans, but this is the problem.

"Sir, what exactly is your vision of a glorious civilization that surpasses the Creator?"

"This should be easy to understand, right? Building a civilization more powerful than ours."

"Excuse me for being so presumptuous." The commander stared at Yan Luo with a scorching gaze. "We simply cannot understand."

"We just know that's your wish."

Actually, it is enough for a humanoid to be human.

They simply could not understand what the civilization Yan Luo was talking about was, nor did they know what they needed to do specifically for the existence of a civilization.

All their actions were based on Yan Luo's speech at that time.

Compared with mature mechanical life, it has begun to plan for itself and is trying to take steps towards the goal of civilization.

It can be said that the humanoids still have their own confusion, they just want to make humans happy...

Even the current commander is just a more advanced form of this foundation.

Maybe it’s hard to understand..

In other words, when Yan Luo, the true human being, returns to human form and steps onto the earth with his feet.

The humanoids have lost their goal, and their thousand-year wish has been achieved.

What's even more ridiculous is that this wish was forced upon them by the 'Human Council' which has neither humans nor a council...

"So that's it."

Yan Luo had some idea of ​​what the commander was thinking.

Humans may become obsessed with human-shaped demons.

Even if Yan Luo hoped that they could be liberated and live for themselves, they didn't know how to do it.

On the contrary, they may make some kind of excessive interpretation, and then try to analyze it layer by layer using their own logic.

Just like a certain tree man named Zhou could never produce a reading comprehension essay that satisfied the examiner.

Now Yan Luo already knows this problem, but he has no solution.

"Did I really say too broadly back then?" Yan Luo sighed. "Humanoids and...mechanical life shouldn't be confined to Earth."

"You have better conditions than us, so try to explore the universe, considering the fact that alien civilizations already exist.

We humans were once the masters of the entire earth. We conquered the land and the ocean, but we failed to conquer the universe.

Although what I say now may seem contradictory and hypocritical, I still want to say that I hope you will not be bound by my will, but open up yourselves and allow other civilizations in the universe to hear your names resound."

It was obvious that the commander could not understand the meaning of Yan Luo's words.

She only heard a few key words: explore, conquer, and resound.

"Is the journey to the sea of ​​stars?"

"If you can understand it this way, then you are very close to what I mean."

It is true that humans conquered the earth, the sea, and the sky, but until their demise, they were never able to truly set foot in the universe.

The Commander could understand the grand ambitions their Creator had always envisioned. As the last surviving human, he probably also wanted to make up for the regrets of his entire race.

In this way, Yan Luo's radical strategy of expanding the universe from the beginning to now makes sense in the commander's mind.

Now the will of mankind is the will of human form, and the desire of mankind is the desire of human form.

"We are truly unqualified for being so lax." The commander stood up and gave Yan Luo a humanoid military salute. "May the glory of mankind last forever."

Her sudden action naturally made Yan Luo feel something was wrong.

Thinking back to the humanoid's ability to imagine itself, he felt that something big might happen in the future.

However, Yan Luo had no time to explain the meaning of his words.

After learning everything he wanted, the commander began to change the subject.

"My Lord, I have an immature idea about Yoerha's military expansion plan."

"what idea?"

As expected, human attention is easily diverted, and Yan Luo suddenly forgot the previous thing.

"I hope that adults' rights, such as the right to shake hands and go on vacation together, and other rights, will be included in YoRHa's reward and punishment system."

"what?"

Don’t you humanoids act anymore?

Chapter 145: Commander: My Lord, you don't want to see the humanoid society in chaos, do you?

First of all, let me make it clear that Yan Luo is very clear about what the humanoids' intentions are towards humans.

After all, he has lived in this world for so long. Even if his wisdom is blessed by a blue-haired goddess, he should have realized it after such a long time.

Not to mention that he later acquired the cheating-like ability of telepathy, which almost gave Yan Luo a general understanding of his situation.

In a sense, it's a bit worrying.

However, no matter what, the humanoid was at least relatively restrained and reserved before.

It's nothing like now, where they don't even try to act, and their intentions are completely exposed.

The commander's current thinking was far from immature! It could be described as well-thought-out and long-planned.

Of course, Yan Luo could essentially refuse this question.

However, it was obvious that the commander had already prepared her own explanation. Before Yan Luo completely refused to cut off all attempts, she hurriedly made her own explanation.

"First of all, my lord, you know me. I have no selfish motives in making this proposal."

The commander said something she didn't even believe, but with rich experience in facial expression management, Yan Luo suddenly heard a strong power in her words.

Therefore, he remained patient for the time being and listened to the reasons that would allow the commander to stand up straight and feel justified.

Seeing that Yan Luo did not refuse immediately, the commander immediately began his own performance with full confidence.

"You should have noticed, sir, right? Even your return hasn't significantly improved our overall situation."

Is that right?

The commander's words made Yan Luo think about recent events with some uncertainty.

If you think about it carefully, it seems to be true.

Production, scientific research, and exploration, the overall situation seems to be proceeding smoothly and orderly, but if you peel off the inner layers, you will find that nothing has changed much before the arrival of the human form and Yan Luo.

Even more confusing..

"We have lost our initiative and are blindly following your guidance."

Yes, if Yan Luo needs to expand the army, the humanoids will rush to the registration office of the recruitment point. If he needs to do scientific research, the humanoids will all rush to the research laboratory. If he wants to explore the universe, the humanoids will drive the spaceship and draw the star map.
