Stellaris from the Automata Era

So after internal discussions, they decided to abandon the production of the basic model.

In fact, the basic round-headed units on Earth are about to be discontinued, and the mechanical life forms seem to be seeking troops with higher quality and technological content.

However, after entering the Koprulu sector and fighting against the Protoss, N2 and the others had to re-activate this low-level model in large quantities.

A big reason for this is that they are produced too quickly.

Especially in the early stage of N2, they needed an excellent commander. After cutting off Adam's vision of the specific situation in the factory, the dense models of mechanical life forms that appeared on the surrounding planets without understanding the quality really gave him the confidence to take command.

It also became one of the main culprits for his recent shift to the front line.

Because this thing was really copied by n2 and the others... They borrowed Yan Luo's design and made a round-headed youth version.

Not to mention whether they can use common offensive methods such as basic high-speed punches and round-head flying kicks, their standard energy supply black boxes and various mechanical life form characteristic materials have been removed by N2, leaving everything simple.

This thing has been chopped countless times except for its appearance. It may not even be able to defeat the Zerg worker bees in battle, and can only carry goods and do infrastructure.

Adam, who had recently relied on limited transportation capabilities to regroup his troops several times, had completely despaired of this thing. As soon as he got it, he sent it out as a disposable pathfinder tool.

It was a mistake to infiltrate the human interior. I heard that it seems that a few of them were captured by the Protoss for research. They wanted to see what the structure of these mechanical bastards was. Now they are still providing effective beacons, exposing the location of the Protoss base.

Of course, Yan Luo found it hard to accept such magical logic for a while, just like he had always found it difficult to understand how those round heads he had made could get into the factory.

However, this did not prevent him from getting first-hand internal intelligence of the human race with peace of mind.

Compared to Yan Luo's confused face, N2 next to him was carrying a more important task.

"These human languages ​​are somewhat similar to the Indo-European languages ​​of old, but if you compare them closely, they are quite different, with many unfamiliar words."

In reality, mechanical life forms are more suitable to be called the successors of human civilization on Earth.

A database originally used by humans to preserve civilization was completely taken over by them. Compared with the humanoids created by humans themselves, in a sense, they can jump out and claim that they are the orthodox human race.

Therefore, it is reasonable to be able to quickly find similarities between humans and "humans" from one's own database.

"Indo-European? You're speaking English, right? Maybe it's just some kind of coincidence."

As to whether it was a coincidence or not, Yan Luo himself might not be sure.

The human vocal organ is there, and as long as we use language to communicate, similar scenes will be created to a large extent, such as the German version of "I'm so angry."

And even if the group of people in front of me were using English...to be honest, it might have been changed beyond recognition.

After all, as a simple language, before he traveled through time, in order to keep up with the rapid development of the times, English dictionaries had become thicker and thicker every year, not to mention the English of the interstellar era.

If this language family does not undergo a thorough change like Old English and Modern English, it will feel completely out of touch with the times.

"Okay, we can capture... rescue someone and then study their language. What is Adam doing now?"

...

Adam felt that he was fooled by the two upper-level networks.

When he took over as commander, he was told that there would be enough backup round-heads, and he could even form his own legion if possible. The only problem was that he needed to defeat those aliens.

However, when he gained a slight advantage by getting a first kill against the Protoss, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

The Star Spirit got serious and hung him up and beat him.

Facing these Protoss with light blades and shields, he couldn't even utter the line "Times have changed".

The exchange in terms of combat damage ratio is even more exaggerated than the time when Yoerha chopped down 2B and those guys. Anyway, it's not a good look..

He really needs some higher-quality troops to deal with the next possible threats. In fact, he still has this high-quality combination at the beginning.

However, in a battle with the Protoss, they were destroyed all at once according to the traditional mechanical life form's thinking of piling up troops.

What's even more terrifying is that the troops N2 replenished to him later seemed to be of questionable quality...Have the advanced units of the surrounding planets been emptied out?

So Adam experienced what it meant to turn like the wind.

In fact, he didn't know how many times he had to regroup his troops!

If the Star Dance Arena wasn't so huge, the Protoss wouldn't have been able to completely wipe him out. I'm afraid he would have already returned to the Internet.

Of course, he is not without growth in the face of the Protoss. Under the pressure of higher technology, he can proudly declare himself a master of tactical transitions, infinitely draining the Protoss' energy on the field battlefield.

Now the enemy is too lazy to send troops to suppress him, at least that's how Adam feels now.

"So what do we do next?"

In the newly built base of mechanical life, Adam frowned and discussed this with his younger brother Eve while swiping the map in the system.

In the continuous and fierce high-intensity confrontation, both the intelligent Adam and the fanatical Protoss on the opposite side have exhausted their patience.

Faced with the three situations of "cannot be killed", "cannot be defeated" and "cannot be won", the two sides tacitly entered into a brief ceasefire, each licking their wounds.

Of course, Adam, who had plenty of combat experience, believed that this was a preparation for a bigger conflict.

"Raid their base!"

As Adam's follower, Eve didn't actually have much room for thought, and her words were more in line with his personality.

Likewise, Adam didn't have high expectations for his brother's advice.

"Eve, remember what humans have taught us: love and peace."

Adam smiled and said something he didn't quite believe.

Recently, facing the attacks from the Protoss, he has begun to be able to "dodge" and dance.

He doesn't want to do anything that will lose money until he is absolutely sure.

Chapter 156: I want to attack all bases!

Adam, who had been slacking off in the war command recently, quickly changed from being good at pigeons and dancing to being good at singing and fighting. The reason was that Yan Luo, the big boss behind the entire mechanical life form group, issued a specific military order to him, ordering an all-out attack.

To be honest, having seen the technological gap between the two sides, Adam felt that this operation was like sending troops away.

However, since humans themselves are his life mentors, Adam feels that there must be a deeper meaning in this. After all, as an intelligent mechanical life form, he is only a few years old. How can he compare with the cunning humans?

Fortunately, they followed Yan Luo's instructions and assembled their troops to attack.

As for Yan Luo, he certainly understood the huge gap between them and the Star Spirits.

But Adam has been able to fight on this planet for so long without being destroyed. It can be imagined that this should not be a situation of being crushed, so there is room for the mechanical life form to struggle.

Besides, he had no choice but to let Adam and the others attack now, because the human group on the other side of the planet had already had large-scale contact with the Protoss.

From the perspective transmitted from the round head that penetrated into the human body, the Protoss waved their glow sticks and invited the humans in this base to join a lively "party".

At the same time, a large number of four-legged chicken hunters and mechanical sentinels enthusiastically presented their fireworks. Yan Luo even seemed to see several giant statues more than ten meters high casting "light projections" on the venue.

For a moment, the base on the human side was caught in an atmosphere of artistic explosion and howling songs.

Perhaps the human commanders here still had some tactical skills. They set up several passes and obstacles based on the terrain, and used architecture to block all possible attack routes.

This behavior can be considered professional in tower defense, but now it is like a trapped beast due to the huge disparity in troop strength. After their outer defense circle was almost completely broken, they found that they seemed to have no escape route.

What’s even more terrifying is that no one knows what kind of organization is behind this group of humans. They don’t even have any heavy firepower weapons when they defend the base.

It's true that every Marine armed with a Gauss rifle is like the Korhal Superman in the game, not only can their legs outrun a battlecruiser with four thrusters, but they can even shoot them down from the stratosphere.

Therefore, after a period of chaos, the human side quickly retreated to their last line of defense, hoping to rely on the bunker on the high slope to fight for their chance of survival.

However, when the head of the colossus slowly rose from the hillside, the trembling fighters hiding in the bunker recalled the crushing and humiliation they had suffered under higher technology.

If there hadn't been rumors that anyone could survive by surrendering, they would probably have lost their will to fight by now.

Of course, having the courage to fight is not enough. The power of the rifles in their hands is simply not enough to break the body of the giant in the distance.

Although the enemy's huge size makes it a good target, when combined with the Protoss' large shields and steel technology, their hardness may be even greater than the bunker where the Marines are located.

Not to mention that the Colossus's ray weapon can completely burn through the bunker's armor layer and penetrate into the core as long as time permits. If you are lucky, you can even randomly draw away a lucky Marine.

Even if humans have a miraculous SCV, in reality they cannot perform crazy masonry and keep the bunker in brand new condition without a single original screw.

At most, they could enter the bunker to carry out emergency repairs and reduce their own losses.

Therefore, the defeat of the human side is almost certain. As for when they will be completely wiped out, it depends on how long the last defense can hold out.

When Yan Luo saw the military deployment of the Star Spirits, he immediately realized that this was not a force he could resist for the time being.

Although he really wanted to capture a few living people to use as excuses, he just couldn't win.

If he mobilized all the mechanical life forms to come and rescue people now, the Protoss might gladly accept the gift of nature and settle the old accounts together.

But if he couldn't defeat him, he could always steal his home base! He still understood the allusion of besieging Wei to save Zhao, and he quickly ordered Adam to assemble his troops and march towards the Protoss base, hoping to turn the balance of the war.

In fact, when the Protoss executor attacked the last defense of humanity, his personal terminal had already received a report that "your base is under attack."

However, he ignored this information.

In order to completely kill the mechanical life forms in the battle, he had actually tried many tactics.

This included the tactic of building bases all over the planet to leave no room for mechanical life. However, after the Queen of Blades' Zerg swarm indiscriminately attacked the entire Koprulu sector, he declared the plan bankrupt as he could not get support from his own tribe.

It was obvious that he could not carry out such a huge project without sufficient resources.

But the result of this plan is that he has several bases on this planet.

Although those mechanical bastards were indeed smart and knew how to seize the opportunity to attack at this time, he still couldn't help but laugh.

The mechanical brain is reckless and lacks wisdom. In the face of humans who want to desecrate the holy land, he can still afford to lose a mere branch base.

He even planned to immediately remove the machines after destroying the group of humans in front of him. Although the other side might pop up more like weeds in the spring breeze, at least there would be peace for a while.

Now let him turn his attention to humans.

As the last high ground of human defense, it is not as strong as they imagined.

If the Protoss generally still possess a sense of justice in human morality, in the early days they even thought about warning or even helping humans face the threat of the Zerg.

Then the Tal'darim among the Protoss are a collection of their bad character traits.

It was unbelievable that a small slope could not be captured for a long time for the Protoss, who could withstand the firepower of hundreds of Marines with their shields.

On the one hand, the executor is not a reckless man who rushes into battle without thinking. On the other hand, his psychic power can sense that every ray of the Colossus can bring about the despair and helplessness of mankind, which makes him very happy.

He can still play this cat and mouse game for a while.

After this scene lasted for a while, Yan Luo, who was observing the situation, heard these words.

"It seems we haven't put enough chips on the table yet." He glanced at the map and continued. "Aside from some autonomous turrets on Adam's side, I haven't seen a single Protoss counterattack. Are they sending out all their forces?"

"N2, tell Adam we're raising the stakes. I want him to attack all known Protoss bases simultaneously!"

Chapter 157: What Mechanical Insect Swarm?

The Protoss are probably better at using energy weapons than mechanical life forms.

When Yan Luo's order reached Adam, he was leading his round-headed men to break through the Tal'darim's autonomous turrets.

One thing that must be acknowledged is that compared to the black energy balls with slow attack speed of mechanical life, the white balls fired by the autonomous turrets on the opposite side have more remarkable speed and power.

Fortunately, the mechanical life had robbed many houses before, so they naturally had rich experience in dealing with it.

Moreover, Adam has been slacking off these days and has learned a lot about retaining his superior troops, so he now has the most elite troops under his command.

Not to mention some autonomous turrets, even if a small number of Tal'darim troops return to defend this time, they can be defeated and killed by Amon.

What's more, when the base was built before, because of the reliable tactical recall, the Tal'darim did not deploy many defensive fortifications. By the time they needed defense, the war against the Zerg broke out again, and there were no resources to build during this period of time.

Therefore, Adam will be able to quickly break through the opponent's defense circle, and perhaps the voice message "Your probe is under attack" will immediately reach the ears of the executive officer.

Of course, as mentioned earlier, the loss of a branch base really didn't bother the Tal'darim executor.

Compared to the threat posed by the Terrans to the Sanctuary, the Executive could still tell which base was more important. Besides, compared to the mechanical creations that had no fear, the emotional fluctuations of the Terrans made him happier.

"Wait? An all-out attack? Are humans playing such a big game?"

When the latest military order came down, Adam couldn't help but want to learn the rich facial expressions of humans and was dumbfounded.

Adam was somewhat surprised that he could effectively break into the Protoss base without encountering much resistance.

But I didn’t expect that the humans above were still not satisfied, and their gluttonous appetites were still greedy for greater results.

To be honest, the future of this war was beyond his ken. However, as a mechanical lifeform that had only been born a few years ago and was still somewhat proficient in personal combat, he understood the war of hammers! He still had a lot to learn!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have privately treated Yan Luo as a teacher.
