Stellaris from the Automata Era

Then Blake has enough confidence to lead mankind onto the path he has predetermined.

Yan Luo is destined to be the helmsman of this human chariot.

"Now let's connect with other old friends. Wait, there's no rush for this."

Well... before that, he needs to find a language chip first.

...

"Commander, I need to go out for a while. Please arrange some guards for me."

"Your Mightiness?"

It was obvious that the commander did not quite understand Yan Luo's thoughts at the moment.

This time he planned to go out and take a look, as a human being.

Blake has spoken openly.

Even if it meant risking the truth about humanity's extinction, he still wanted Yan Luo, a human being, to make a speech.

He hadn't figured out what the deeper meaning of this was yet, but he wanted to re-examine the relationship between humans and humanoids.

Chapter 83: Becoming Your Own Shape

The resistance camp was not too unfamiliar to Yan Luo.

After all, most of his previous intelligence came from the humanoids here.

It was also the only place he knew of where the largest humanoid gathering place was, and it was also the direction he was currently heading.

Originally, according to the commander's arrangement, all YoRHa humanoids on Earth should have accompanied him.

However, considering the defense of the base on the ground, he rejected this proposal outright because he didn't really want to bring too many T-dolls with him.

In addition to the two most capable humanoids under his command, a2 and 11b (wrong), Yan Luo only allowed the commander to send him two more humanoids. This may be out of some consideration to appease Yoerha's people.

Otherwise, Yan Luo would have just broken the defense line and ran out with all his human forms.

Of course, the commander expressed some regret for this outcome, and solemnly recommended himself to Yan Luo as the most capable fighter (incorrectly). As YoRHa's highest commander, he might need to be accompanied by several T-dolls from the team to maintain appearances. This sounded reasonable...

Therefore, such a reasonable proposal was also reasonably rejected by Yan Luo.

Then the commander could only choose from the humanoids that had landed on the ground. However, the commander discovered with some despair that Yoerha might have been too excited recently and was working overtime to clean the round heads in the factory.

The reason why their injuries were so high was that the most common injuries were to their hands, especially the best ones, who all lost their hands without a single one being spared.

Okay, the above words have been polished. Anyway, in the end, much to the chagrin of YoRHa's humanoid, the job of protecting humans was assigned to 2b and 9s, who had intact limbs.

Such a simple team was put together.

Their journey to the camp was also very smooth. Yan Luo, wearing armor, did not need much protection from them. Yan Luo could probably clean up the general basic model faster than them.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, what do you think of humans?"

Yan Luo was walking on the ruined ground.

Because of the thickness of his armor, every step he took on the ground made a rumbling sound. After the humanoids ensured the safety of the surrounding area, he had time to chat with them.

"Humans are humans! They are our Creators."

This is 11b. To be honest, it is not easy for her simple mind to come up with this.

"I'm quite curious and want to know. By the way, how do adults usually replenish minerals?"

"Anyway, it's not based on physics..."

The 9s statement is more in line with the settings of his S model phone. After all, curiosity is unique to them.

He could even ask back!

As for 2b and a2, they were diligently serving as guards and did not get involved in the conversation.

However, Yan Luo didn't actually expect them to give him an answer.

To be honest, the human form actually gave him a lot of confusion.

He found that it was impossible to understand the humanoid's thoughts using human thinking. He deliberately wandered on the edge of the humanoid's vision, which was also a common human paranoia.

But when the human figures were brought to his face one by one, he realized that things were starting to get complicated.

One or two of them would be fine, as the situation could be explained by lower-level T-dolls, but the commander of a high status and a clearly high-ranking T-doll both happily leaned on him, which was a bit strange.

Especially the high-level humanoid Black's words with a sad tone, wanting him to see the current situation of humanoids, almost pulled him out of his superficial view of humanoids.

He must seriously think about the complex existential relationship between humans and humanoids.

It is no longer a question of looking at the whole from the perspective of awakened thinking beings and their former masters.

Perhaps humanoids will treat humans more purely.

Yan Luo originally wanted to think more deeply, but something unexpected seemed to have happened.

A man wearing a shirt, leather pants and glasses blocked the middle of the road.

"Human! It's great to see you here."

Mechanical life form Adam.

Yan Luo almost sighed. It seemed that nothing was going well for him recently. Even when he went out, he would meet his most troublesome enemy.

The other party had left a very deep impression on him last time in the alien cemetery. With his madness and crazy coupled with his extremely high martial arts skills, to be honest, Yan Luo really didn't want to face him again.

After all, this time the other party will not be so stupid as to take his emp. Yan Luo now regrets not bringing the commander out.

At least he didn't believe that Adam could still stand intact under the siege of Yoerha's troops.

But for the mechanical life form Adam, the people on Yan Luo's side should all be familiar faces.

Anyway, the configuration is no different from the last fight.

Almost the moment he appeared, all the humanoids immediately took a fighting stance and stood with swords in hand. Considering that he still had a younger brother who had not appeared yet, the humanoids did not immediately rush forward to start a fight.

Adam also noticed the natural humanoid's vigilance, and he spread his hands to indicate that he was harmless.

"Please rest assured, I'm just here to ask a few questions this time."

"You seem much more polite?"

Of course, this could also be because Adam's change from being shirtless to being well-dressed gave Yan Luo an illusion.

In short, Adam this time was more pleasing to the eye than the ones he had seen before.

Therefore, he did not mind talking to the other party without resorting to violence.

"So what do you want to ask?"

"Ah! How should I put it?" Adam pondered, as if forming his words in his mind. "These past few days, I've been observing that the humanoids are collectively tired of war, and some of my fellow detached compatriots also don't want to fight. I want to ask, is this an evolution from fighting? Can it be considered peace?"

"Humanoid Warpity?"

Yan Luo did not answer immediately.

He looked at Adam carefully and found that the style of this mechanical life seemed to have changed a lot compared to before.

Maybe he could give the other person a more romantic answer.

"No life enjoys fighting, unless it's a selfless machine. I've said before that it would be tragic if peace evolved only through fighting."

"Huh? You weren't talking about love back then..."

"I'm human!" Yan Luo interrupted him. "You're right to listen to me. I feel like you've gained intelligence too quickly. Perhaps you should learn how to communicate."

"Communication? I should have learned it by now?"

"You're being too one-sided. That can only be called a conversation. When you, as a mechanical lifeform, appear before a humanoid and don't attack, and when they aren't wary of you, that's communication."

"Is that right?"

Yea, very good.

Seeing Adam's face full of question marks, Yan Luo felt that if he asked a few more times, it would probably soon become the shape he wanted.

Chapter 84: The Abandoned Resistance

The conversation with Adam ended quickly. He left in a hurry, as if he had received some new inspiration.

Therefore, Yan Luo did not have much conflict with him this time.

To be honest, Yan Luo almost couldn't be fooled anymore as long as Adam insisted that he recall what he said at the cemetery.

Yan Luo probably went to seek help from the humanoid who had this memory. After all, he didn't know what he said in that situation.

Fortunately, just as Adam said, he was not here to cause trouble this time, so after his level was lowered, he was quickly defeated by Yan Luo with his rich experience.

He, Adam was lost on the path of his life again.

It is foreseeable that he may not be able to get rid of the influence imposed on him by humans for a long time.

Of course, for Yan Luo, this was just an episode. What really shocked and attracted his attention was not Adam's casual remark.

"Humanoids are collectively tired of war."

He had encountered this situation before in the village of Pascal's mechanical life form, but at that time Yan Luo always thought it was just an isolated phenomenon.

But listening to Adam's tone, it seemed like the collective norm for all humanoids.

Yan Luo almost had to think seriously about how much value there was in the results of the humanoids' previous counterattacks described with pens.

Well...in fact, after more than a dozen counterattacks by the humanoids, there was no obvious change in the territory on the map, which seemed to foreshadow something.

Of course, this could just be his one-sided view due to incomplete intelligence, but even the humanoid enemies have pointed out the problem, and combined with the previous conversations with the humanoid leaders, he seems to have vaguely grasped something.

But in the end he still had to confirm it with his own eyes, after all, people tend to believe what they can see.

The humanoid resistance camp was his target.

"2b and...2?"

Anne Moening in the Resistance area could hardly believe her eyes.

In fact, she and A2 knew each other even earlier, which can be traced back to the last purge of YoRHa's troops.

She had some understanding of the situation A2 had gone through, so she was naturally particularly surprised when A2 showed up in the camp openly.

Especially since the active members of YoRHa were right next to them, it would be a bit unreasonable to not fight and only have one left.

However, the facts were before her, and even if she couldn't explain it anymore, Annie Morning had no choice but to accept it. Maybe Yoerha was speeding up the preparation of the list of traitors again.

Despite this slander in her mind, Annie Morning finally chose to welcome it.

"It's been a long time since we last met. It seems a lot has happened recently." She said this as if reminiscing about the past, then turned her gaze to Yan Luo. "It seems your identity is not simple."

She still had some impression of Yan Luo. After all, the last time she came, this strange equipment made her curious.

It's just that Gemini just perfunctorily answered it verbally.

Now it seemed that the humanoids surrounded by Yoruha's troops could even allow A2, who was labeled a traitor, to coexist peacefully with them, which almost broke her cognition.

"Are you the administrator? Anyway, welcome to this gathering place for us abandoned people."

"Abandoned? How can you even begin to say that?" Yan Luo frowned, and a mechanical voice rang out from the translator. Then, sensing something was amiss, he removed his visor. "Someone translate for me and tell her I'm human."

...

The Resistance is not an official humanoid army, or at least they never were.

In the process of every humanoid counterattack, there is always a drop operation plan for the purpose of infiltrating and destroying special areas, which can also be called an airdrop operation.

The Resistance Army is the product spontaneously formed by the surviving humanoids after the failure of the descent operation. As the war with mechanical life forms gradually expanded and the number of descent operations increased, the gathered humanoids became a force that could not be ignored.

A regular force recognized by the 'Human Council'.

"Of course, that's just a nice way of putting it."

Annie Mo Ning stared into Yan Luo's eyes.

Unlike all the humanoids he had seen before, Anne Morning's emotions were more complex.

Even when he first saw A2, he didn't find it so difficult to distinguish.
