Stellaris from the Automata Era

Less than two days after the meeting ended, the chief scientific researcher on the humanoid side hurriedly sent a message to Yan Luo.

Yan Luo has given most of the power to this mythical humanoid.

This also includes the ability to directly connect to Yan Luo's signal. After all, he is the only scientist Yan Luo can boast of.

This kind of scientific research leader is treated like an ancestor in the stars. If the fallen next door comes to ask for people, then the only option is war.

"My Lord! I need more high-energy crystals."

However, the first sentence she said made Yan Luo feel like he was having a high blood pressure attack.

"KanColle System! I think it's almost done!"

Yan Luo was stunned for a moment before he realized what his research leader had said.

Is the KanColle system about to be completed?

Chapter 195: Humanoids and Artificial Intelligence

The research base of the humanoid research chief is an orbital space station located in the universe.

These were originally space command centers, weapon stations, and even space-based weapon launch pads built to fight against mechanical life forms.

However, after the end of the Earth Civil War, they had lost most of their functions, and coupled with the physical reduction in the humanoid management, most of them were left vacant.

However, after the rise of the humanoid research chief, they quickly became the research center of humanoids.

The main reason is that many humanoid projects are not suitable for continued research on Earth, because whether it is biotechnology that prolongs human life or the continued development of magic weapons, they all pose a invasive threat to the human body.

After all, the nature of human beings is to coexist peacefully with viruses, and Mo Su was the culprit who once distributed lunch boxes to all mankind.

Although the humanoids now feel that their science has improved, the water is still too complicated. What if they can't control it?

"Is this what you call a ship girl?"

Yan Luo used holographic images to step into this place, and the first thing that caught his eye was a black sphere of unknown substance.

It seemed that the other party could sense Yan Luo's arrival and soon began to circle around him, speaking in a language that Yan Luo could not understand.

No, that wasn't language, but more like some kind of rhythmic beeping sound, like a telegraph code.

"what is it?"

From Yan Luo's observation, this should be a ball of energy aggregate, but compared to the psychic energy he most commonly uses, the one in front of him is more like magic element.

Soon, the answer given to him by the humanoid chief scientific researcher also proved the correctness of this guess.

"She should be considered a monster."

"Monster?"

Yan Luo didn't know much about the word "monster".

But he had seen it in the historical records written by the humanoid himself, but because the humanoid seemed to be taboo about this topic, the description was very rough.

In addition, reading written records does require a lot of patience, so he just glanced at it without trying to understand the inner meaning.

"Sir, did you know that we humans have other nicknames for monsters?" Chief Scientific Officer Rui seemed to have a different feeling towards the monster before him. "They are called human souls."

"The human soul?" Yan Luo muttered, then immediately realized. "So what is it?"

Soul separation technology has always existed in humanoid technology.

It's obvious at first glance that this technology isn't suitable for humanoids, a mechanical race that relies on data.

In fact, when humans in the old times faced the white salt disease caused by magic elements, their last and most crazy move was to separate their body and soul.

However, this measure was directly marked as a failure in the humanoid records, and the so-called "remaining" "humans" were sent to the moon for "protection".

But now almost everyone knows that this is a scam, and the human protection base on the moon is just a tombstone built with their remaining information.

Therefore, I'm afraid that even if humans at that time separated their souls, they would not be able to avoid the erosion of magic, and that might even be their last and unsuccessful struggle. (Note)

"I know what you want to say, my lord. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. The monster before us is not one of your kind, our creator."

Rui waved his hand, and a holographic screen appeared in front of Yan Luo, displaying various data.

"The reason I use the name 'monster' is simply because her manifestation is very similar. If it offends you, I will change her name immediately.

In short, apart from the magic elements surrounding her, she is essentially a data object composed of 0s and 1s. She is the manifestation of our humanoid data in the material world."

"It sounds a bit magical."

Although Yan Luo's evaluation of the human form was that it could create an ocean of magic in the scientific universe, he still found it difficult to understand this explanation when he heard it.

The data materialized and appeared in the material world, which made Yan Luo not know what words to use to describe his complex psychological process.

"But this is a fact. She is the embodiment of data 0 and 1. Although I myself do not understand the principle of her appearance, we can detect psychic reactions within her data body. Perhaps it is because of you, sir."

After a brief explanation, Rui quickly changed the subject. Perhaps she was also troubled by the mysterious principle involved, but this involved her blind spot in knowledge, so she could only choose to deal with it perfunctorily.

"Because she is a data body, we can create a new body for her, which means she is the planned ship girl."

The data of the humanoid will be returned to Yan Luo's psychic network. Compared to death and dissipation, this may be a better ending for the humanoid.

Of course, the reuse of this type of data has also become a problem for humanoids. After all, psychic power is a relatively new form of energy utilization, and their limited understanding is not enough to re-export this returned data.

But now this technological gap has been broken through.

But Yan Luo still had a question.

"So how do you plan to make it compatible with the battleship's form?"

In fact, humanoid division can be considered as strong artificial intelligence.

Originally, it should be an easy task for a mechanical race like them to use their consciousness to control a warship.

However, a seemingly simple problem turned out to be a huge mistake.

The humanoid system is not compatible with warships, and the fundamental reason is that they are humanoid strong artificial intelligence. (Note 2)

Their thinking, emotions, and reasoning are all the same as those of humans. If they are forced onto the battleship, various errors will quickly appear, and the battleship humanoids will not be able to effectively control their bodies.

This is not a deficiency in algorithms or computing power, but a more conceptual problem, just like getting humans who used to walk upright to walk on all fours again.

They are also able to write humanoid core codes, but they are unable to write non-humanoid artificial intelligence codes. These two areas are equivalent to humans trying to create a new race.

"The compatibility process is actually complete." Rui looked at the black sphere. "Please, demonstrate it."

Then Yan Luo saw that the room he was in was flashing with crystal patterns that spread to every corner of the room.

They are like blood vessels in the human body or electrical circuits in a machine.

Then a female voice delivered her words through the broadcasting system in the house.

"Finally, I have a physical body again! Oh, right! Sir! I'm Susan! I used to be in the Space Force, under the command of Commander 11b!"

"how did you do it?"

Chapter 196: Small goal: First create a Warship Girl.

"how did you do it?"

"They are high-energy crystals. They have excellent energy conductivity. In my research, they are compatible with various energies, including magic elements and the adults' spiritual energy."

For humanoids, the high-energy crystals in the Koprulu sector are completely useless.

Humanoids with magic element reactors don't care about energy consumption at all, and the core reactor of mechanical life forms is a kind of semi-perpetual motion machine.

Therefore, high-energy crystal, an efficient and clean energy source, has never been included in the eyes of the earth from the beginning.

However, it must be admitted that as an energy source recognized by the three interstellar races, it must have some advantages that humans are unaware of.

In fact, the research on humanoids is just a try-and-see attitude. After all, everyone has better options for energy supply.

It was soon discovered that after special processing, this crystal could not only be used as energy, but it could also be transformed into mineral alloys.

But if that's all, it seems like too much of a waste.

I don't know if it was a sudden inspiration, but when the humanoid came into contact with the crystal, magic element, and even psychic energy, a chemical reaction immediately occurred.

It is the best carrier, able to accommodate human psychic fluctuations and has outstanding effects.

Even now, human-shaped data can be derived from Yan Luo's network, thanks to its contribution.

If he could remove the monster's magic shell, Yan Luo would soon discover that there was crystal powder inside that was undergoing psychic reactions.

But the real surprise is that if they are carved and laid out like circuits, a humanoid figure with magic elements can completely control mechanical objects through its extension.

This is almost like an external converter, allowing the humanoid to control different bodies at will.

"A humanoid with magic essence? Yoerha is the only one who meets this standard among the entire humanoid community, right?"

Ordinary humanoids do not have the right to use magic elements, even though their reactors are made of magic elements.

But that is simply consumed as energy, and their body materials do not meet the standards for releasing magic energy.

This is why the YoRHa doll has the same size as everyone else, but its value is dozens of times higher.

"Yes, but now we have to add a humanoid figure derived from the psychic network."

Rui looked at Yan Luo and continued to explain.

"Their monster bodies are a reproduction of magic essence, and combined with the essence of their data bodies, they are more than enough to become battleship girls. And even if they don't choose to become ship girls, they will be a different kind of YoRHa when they return to human form.

At least they can use magic plug-ins, which is no different from YoRHa."

The real strength of YoRHa lies in the complexity of their plug-ins, which are comprehensive in functions and can handle a wide range of complex situations.

If these returning humanoids can use the same plug-ins as YoRHa, they will be more powerful than expected.

With these characteristics of returning to human form, there is no need to choose to become a human form. With a little expansion, perhaps it can also become a car girl... and a gun girl...

Since they are digital bodies, it is definitely easier for them to change into physical bodies than other humanoids.

"Hearing what you said, it seems that this is indeed a breakthrough. So what are we missing now?"

"We're short of high-energy crystals! We need more high-energy crystals!"

If that were the only thing, it would be easy to solve.

High-energy crystals are rampant in the Koprulu sector, and they can be seen on almost every planet.

One can imagine their huge reserves, which can support the Terrans to push nuclear fusion technology to the extreme.

In fact, many mineral veins can be seen in the galaxy that Yan Luo currently occupies.

All we have to do now is mine them out.

"I'll arrange this right away, but what are you going to use it for? If it's just to import humanoid data, the demand shouldn't be too great, right?"

"But our warships need it! Without the transmission of crystals, the hull cannot be effectively controlled."

Previously, Yan Luo saw that the patterns on the entire house were paved with high-energy crystals. Perhaps the situation was too urgent and he was unable to explain it clearly.

High-energy crystals are not carved and laid out like circuits, but they truly replace the functions of circuits.

This also means that it has to extend to almost every inch of the corner. Considering the size of the hull alone, this is probably a huge investment.

Fortunately, the Koprulu sector is indeed a treasure land, and even the Zerg cannot consume its huge reserves.

Because it is renewable. As for the principle, you can ask the creator of the star zone, the Xel'Naga.
