Stellaris from the Automata Era

If you are weak, the blood of our compatriots has not yet cooled, and we must avenge this today. Let's stop fighting and use force!

If you are strong, then such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning. It is better for everyone to stop fighting and start dancing.

Chapter 203: The Humanoid is Actually a Magical Civilization

It is undeniable that the Terran Empire's actions are more or less intended to deal with the ignorant people under it.

However, Yan Luo still took their statement of armed retaliation as the truth. After all, he could not believe it but he could not be careless. Mengsk, the madman who would turn a star zone into scorched earth, sometimes really did it.

Also because of his madness, even the current major branches of the Protoss are reluctant to provoke him for no reason.

Back then, he was able to lead the empire that had just been rebuilt and several races to fight each other until they were severely damaged. He was also a powerful and ruthless person.

Of course, even if we want to defend, it is not now. The Earth’s hard power is indeed a little worrying. At present, the scale of warships can be counted on one’s fingers, making it impossible for Yan Luo to defend even if he wants to.

Fortunately, there are indeed enough small ships. These navies composed of mechanical life forms are patrolling the border and can temporarily deal with the Tyranid reconnaissance team that is busy fighting the Zerg.

And according to the previous conversation with Renault, the prince of the Terran Empire has now fled with half of the empire's fleet to find him.

I'm afraid Raynor is about to complete the process of converting his fleet from biological to chemical. Faced with the cooperation of these two people, Mengsk must start to worry about the instability of his throne.

I guess he doesn't have the energy to run to such a distant wormhole galaxy to compete with Yan Luo.

By the time this matter was resolved, several months had passed. By that time, Yan Luo had at least half a fleet to serve as a facade, supplemented by a large number of small ships.

As long as he shows a little more strength, the still anxious Terran will back down. After all, the other party is crazy, not stupid.

Then, turning around, Yan Luo started to solve the problem of humanoids collecting Terrans.

Although Yan Luo has always thought of humanoids as out-of-control mechanical servants, but...well, they are indeed out-of-control mechanical servants.

But I didn't expect that they also started to develop a hobby of collecting figures.

However, the reasons for them collecting figures may be different from the traditional ones.

I have to explain this again. The humanoid technology tree is simply terrible. This is a very low EQ statement.

The high EQ version is that their magic tree is good...

After all, before they even left the planet, they had already pointed out a series of strange things such as dimensional observation technology and soul technology.

When you asked the three interstellar races from the Koprulu sector to come here, they all exclaimed that it was unscientific.

The real reason that can prove that they are a magical civilization is probably the ubiquitous human-shaped angel characters (note).

As for the origin of this text, Yan Luo no longer wanted to verify it, but he knew that various magic reactors currently used by humanoids were engraved with this thing.

Even when YoRHa's auxiliary machine provided firepower output, this kind of text appeared like a magic circle.

He had always thought that this thing was some kind of special effect. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed a special effect, but this special effect had a special effect!

How does that little thing really unleash the firepower of an arsenal?

In short, the nature of the human form can really shatter a person's three views. At the same time, Yan Luo seriously suspects that this thing may have been used in the coding of the human form.

Otherwise, no matter how good the previous logic is, it cannot explain why strong artificial intelligence cannot control warships...

Anyway, Yan Luo's three views have long been shattered.

But the real trouble is that it is clearly a magical technology, but the humanoids insist on pretending that it is science.

They label everything they study with scientific terms, but what they develop are nothing but scientific (magical) things.

Yan Luo, who had been misled for a long time, no longer wanted to delve into it.

The actual scientific level of this group of humanoids is estimated to be only equivalent to the early 21st century, and they will always remain in the time period of human extinction.

Therefore, the real role of the Terrans is to restore their fragmented technology tree.

Of course, many people may think that it is good to go to the extreme on one path, and magic looks good, and there is actually nothing wrong with this statement.

If possible, Yan Luo also wants to go all the way, but the problem is that this magic element is also an imported product.

I only have a limited understanding of human form, and I have come to where I am today through wild growth and my own thinking.

You never know when the way forward will be inexplicably blocked.

Therefore, as the current controller of the earth, Yan Luo must find a way to open source.

Now you see, there is a race next door that relies on science and technology. They are a bit weak and have internal and external troubles, and their people are scattered. The most important thing is that you look similar and can be assimilated. As for what to choose next, there is no need to say more, right?

In short, with so many bonuses, even a person with racial purported obsession would not be able to get an impression score of negative 1,000.

So assimilate! You must assimilate!

Of course, even if you choose to assimilate and let the other party provide technology, there must be a limit to assimilation.

With the current humanoid population of several hundred million on Earth, it is simply impossible to swallow up the Terrans, who number over 10 billion.

Since ancient times, the process of assimilation has been carried out by the majority to the minority, and the other way around can only be called being assimilated.

If the Earth wants to become fat all at once, then the minority iron fist that the humanoids are currently performing in the colonies will become a real minority iron fist in the future.

I'm afraid that when that happens, it will happen that after finally finding the way back to the Earth Link, the Earth Link will be filled with famous scenes of Fu Rui. (Note 2)

Similarly, if there are few people assimilated, there will be no effect. After all, what Yan Luo needs is a different scientific route of magic, and he also needs them to provide more subsequent advanced technologies.

This requires a steady stream of scientists. Just think about how many people emerged from a certain country in the old days when universal education was implemented for 13 billion people, and even fewer were decisive talents.

How can you raise scientific research figures with just over one million people?

In short, if Yan Luo wants to open a scientific line, there are many things to consider.

At least the population ratio is of paramount importance. Humanoids must exert absolute suppression on other ethnic groups, otherwise the Big Brother on Earth will serve as a lesson.

What? Round head?

A population of 800 billion may seem like a lot, but you have to understand that, apart from the awakened intelligent machines, all other mechanical life forms are not considered as population at all!

If we talk about real data, I'm afraid the Terrans have more than them.

"It's such a headache. Can I just ignore these things?"

But the main problem now is that if he doesn't care, the humanoid will definitely give up the whole time.

Note: Angel text is an important part of NieR. In fact, it appears in both Artificial Life and Automata. Of course, it does have some magic spell effect in it. Anyway, this thing appears every time the auxiliary machine launches a fire attack. I finally understand why it has unlimited bullets.

Chapter 204: Appraisal Completed, Magic Has Only a Little Science

Time passed quickly for several months. Because of the need to deal with the threat of the Terran Empire, the Earth launched several battlecruisers under Yan Luo's strict order.

Now the Earth has finally gathered a reasonable number of them, and it is still possible to take them out to form a small fleet.

Of course, at this point, Yan Luo no longer expects these battle cruisers to provide much combat power.

After all, they are all products made by Reverse Terran Technology. To some extent, they are probably the youthful versions of some Terran warships.

There is no such thing as plagiarizing and getting better grades than the original, right?

Well... although there was indeed a red-haired reserve Heroic Spirit who defeated the golden original by copying it single-handedly. (Note)

But they also have a lot of accumulation, okay! Humanoids are not made in infinite battleships, so how can they be genuine?

In short, Yan Luo was very skeptical about the combat effectiveness of these things when taking them to the battlefield.

However, the combat effectiveness of these battlecruisers may be worrying, but they are still good for bluffing others. At least from the appearance, the other party should not be able to understand their actual situation.

As long as Yan Luo doesn't become exhausted by Finland like the old Big Brother, the Tairen Empire should still consider whether the benefits of going to war between the two sides are reasonable. (Live 2)

In fact, after the newly produced warships were launched into the sea, Yan Luo quickly organized them into a new fleet and sent it to the border of the Koprulu star zone.

Naturally, this fleet of warships was quickly observed by the Terrans. Although they kept wondering whether the styles of the warships of both sides were somewhat similar, the appearance of these steel behemoths made them curb their recent frequent probing actions.

After all, their Iron Fleet still needs to deal with the Zerg, especially after their prince ran away with half of the battlecruisers. The current border situation makes it impossible for the empire to form any fleet to conduct military exercises with Yan Luo.

Moreover, our regions do not border each other, so there is no need to sign a non-aggression treaty for the time being.

Therefore, they were able to form an exploratory team mainly composed of small ships, which was already a great respect for the ignorant people below. At least they had sent out a "retaliatory" fleet, but the results were not ideal.

Of course, until this time, the Terran Empire still had not thought that Earth was plagiarizing their technology.

Because in addition to the battle cruiser, a special kilometer-long battleship was also sent to the border this time.

After several months of development, the battleship independently developed by the humanoids was finally launched for the first time.

If you simply compare it with the previous battlecruiser, it would be hard to believe that these are military ships produced by the same civilization.

If the humanoid battlecruiser still retains the appearance of a technological ship by copying, then this battleship is of a completely different style.

A magic steel plate with the same skin as Amon's Void Projection, and the surface of the steel plate is engraved with angel characters with high-energy crystals. If someone knows this kind of characters, they can probably decipher a series of strange words such as protection, reflection, seal, etc.

Of course, these words appear very small compared to the surface of the hull, and are arranged in a regular, neat, and repetitive manner. From a distance, they can basically be regarded as patterns specially added to add an artistic atmosphere, except that this pattern is engraved all over the body.

Because the entire battleship is surrounded by angelic characters, and the high-energy crystals used will continue to emit a faint blue light, it is particularly conspicuous in the dark universe.

Therefore, this battleship was officially named "Starlight Class" by Yan Luo.

It is about one kilometer long and about 120 meters in diameter. It looks like a flying cylinder in space.

It is worth mentioning that the humanoids finally realized that they were not cut out for science. The entire ship's design, except for the jump and curvature engines, was entirely made up of magic elements.

"Susan, can you hear me?"

Because this is the first battleship developed by humanoids, and it is also equipped with the newly developed ship girl system, her debut naturally attracted Yan Luo's attention.

At the same time, because he was the first to try something new, Yan Luo felt that he should give more verbal comfort to the humanoid who was operating the warship.

The effect can be said to be excellent.

When Yan Luo's voice sounded on the Starlight Battleship, he immediately received a cheerful response from the other party.

"Sir! I can hear you!"

The shipgirl figure seemed very happy. Yan Luo, who was watching remotely from Earth, had already noticed that the battleship began to spin...

If it weren't for the mismatch in size, he would probably have been thinking of a pet from the old days that could destroy a house.

"That's enough, Susan! Starlight is our highest technological achievement! As its operator, you better be steady!"

Yan Luo: “…”

The words just now were not spoken by Yan Luo, but a rebuke from the chief humanoid researcher who was the creator of the battleship.

As the mythical figure who designed the entire ship herself, she naturally has sufficient authority to observe the sea trial and see if there is anything that needs improvement.

But Yan Luo didn't know how to complain about what she had just said.

Looking at the angel characters surrounding the battleships, he finally decided to say nothing. After all, when these humanoids chose their routes, they swapped the science and magic signs and firmly chose science.

With their stubborn mindset of still waiting even after thousands of years of human extinction, there is probably no way for them to correct their mistakes.

Of course, it would be a different matter if Yan Luo forced them to change their words.

"Anyway, Susan, do you see the asteroid belt in front of you? Pick a random asteroid and start shooting."

After calming down the warship's restless hyperactivity, Yan Luo gave his own orders.

The purpose of bringing the new battleship out this time is not just to let her go on sea trials.

In fact, choosing the border of the Koprulu sector is more or less a show of force. It can be understood as a preventive military exercise for others to see.

Judging from the current situation in the Koprulu sector, Yan Luo is sure that there must be a lot of Terran hidden filming equipment around it.

Of course, it does seem a bit bold for a new warship to come out and wield a big stick.

However, as long as the Starlight class performs satisfactorily this time, all races that have ambitions towards the Earth will immediately retreat to avoid being harmed.

The war in the Koprulu sector seems to be going on for some time. It is not worth it to provoke the hostility of another race during this period, even if this race currently only has one powerful battleship.

But in the case of asymmetric intelligence, no one dared to gamble. Who knows if after throwing a punch, they would find that there are more warships behind.

"Magic element main cannon, prepare to charge."
