Stellaris from the Automata Era

"..."

Feeling even more embarrassed.

However, Yan Luo, who had seen many ups and downs during this period, quickly got out of this embarrassing situation.

He simply waved his hand and said:

"Regina, I remember."

“It is my honor to have you remembered.”

Regina pushed her glasses and looked very rational. She turned around and pointed to a facility inside the battleship.

"I've asked you to come here in person this time because I really want to tell you that we've made some progress in cracking the technology of this battleship."

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. The technological content of this warship is actually not beyond our knowledge. In fact, some aspects may even be relatively backward."

"Of course, their advantages are beyond our reach, such as their warp drive."

Great, it looks like the technology comparison has gone from godlike to neck and neck.

Thinking about the gap, Yan Luo nodded with satisfaction.

However, the humanoid named Regina did not intend to stop talking.

"Next comes the most important thing, my Lord."

"Regarding the race piloting this battleship, I initially thought their home planet's environment must be extremely peculiar, which is why their appearance is somewhat unsightly."

"However, after my genetic analysis of them, I discovered that they weren't originally like this. They were completely invaded by another species, and the forced fusion of their genetic chains caused a mutation."

"After I carefully separated their genes, I quickly obtained their original genetic data and appearance modeling."

"Their original appearance should be... like this." Regina turned on a projection, and soon a model of a species appeared on it.

"Is this... human?"

Looking at the complete model above, Yan Luo frowned.

Obviously, the appearance given here is very similar to him.

However, Regina seemed dissatisfied with Yan Luo's words.

"To be more precise, they should be humanoids (similar to humans). Their genetic profiles differ greatly from yours, and even the original incomplete map doesn't match them at all! We can only say they look similar!"

The original map of the human race on Earth has long been lost.

This was something Yan Luo only found out later, and of course it was completed because of Yan Luo's intervention.

"So, apart from their appearance, they are a different species from me?"

"That's not the case. The difference between them and you is probably similar to the difference between monkeys and humans. Perhaps they can be traced back to the same origin."

It is unknown how much of the words here are self-beautified by the human imagination.

In short, Yan Luo has already understood that there are races in this universe that look similar to him.

"I already understand the details. So what is the other species whose genetic chain was forcibly integrated?"

"The other species doesn't have complete genes. There are many traces of modifications. I can't even analyze its original form."

The doll replied.

"However, at the location where the second research team was stranded, we discovered a similar genetic structure in the unknown creatures that were killed and brought back."

"Where did the second research team fall into trouble? Come to think of it, I always forgot to ask them what the anomaly was?" Yan Luo asked.

The answer he received surprised him directly.

"It was also a warship. We've deduced that it lost its power source and was drifting in space relying on its remaining kinetic energy. It was eventually captured by the planet's gravity and crashed."

"And it crashed recently."

Chapter 128: Listen, the ship is talking.

It's time to really gather some troops.

In some ways, what has happened recently is already very serious.

From encountering a spaceship on 11b to the unknown creatures on the castaway planet.

What happened in the past few days has instantly made Yan Luo extremely alert.

These events happen too frequently, indicating that something big is about to happen.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but even his psychic power began to give him a subtle warning.

Therefore, after returning, Yan Luo began to plan the real formation of the naval fleet, at least to get their ships out first.

Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for a group of navy dolls to use the combat tactics of the Marine Corps.

Although boarding battles do sound very brave, the bombardment of huge artillery between fleets is the real routine operation and the real use of the navy!

Boarding!? That's what the lower-class people do!

Having said that, Yan Luo really had no idea how to form a fleet.

The main reason was that I had no experience.

If this followed his previous style, he would directly send one frigate, and then fill the rest with battleships to form a fleet to stack combat power.

But this can only be done in the game. The real fleet is a complete system.

Often an interstellar fleet has strict requirements on the ratio of various warships.

It is impossible to say that a type of ship is useless once it is designed.

We can only enrich the ship design library.

Now Yan Luo was stuck on the fleet ratio, and then he quickly realized that he was actually getting too stuck in a dead end.

"Really? We don't even have frigates right now, so how can we talk about a large fleet?"

Or improve the drawings of the frigate.

In fact, if we want humanoid and mechanical life forms to better travel into the universe, we should let them design their own ships.

Although he directly called up the existing blueprints in his mind, it was also a good way to climb the technology tree.

However, such a simple and crude method would be both laborious and time-consuming for Yan Luo.

After all, even judging from the data on paper, he didn't know how long it would take to draw the smallest frigate, at least in months.

Not to mention the intermediate process of converting the drawings into real objects.

On the other hand, Yan Luo was somewhat afraid that the humanoid would become dependent on him.

The technology in his mind is directly in the form of results, not an unproven or conjectured technology tree. As long as the basic processes such as steelmaking and welding meet the standards, it can be built and used.

The intermediate experimental process is omitted.

This kind of thing is okay once or twice, but if it happens too many times, Yan Luo doesn't know if it will ruin the research and development capabilities related to humanoids.

After all, I spent many years painstakingly designing it, and there were a lot of steps such as testing and experiments in between, but others finished it in a few months and used it perfectly after it was built.

Anyone would be mentally frustrated if they were in this situation. If you have time to create something original, you might as well just use a template. It’s so simple and easy to use.

Eventually, an alternative technological blockade is formed, turning us into monkeys who can only press buttons.

Of course, this may be Yan Luo's unnecessary concern. He is just applying human thinking to the human form.

Humanoids, who are completely different from humans, may take a different path.

Besides, it only takes one or two times to help the humanoids achieve technological advancement, so it doesn’t seem to be a big problem.

With this idea in mind, Yan Luo directly started to draw the blueprints.

But what he didn't expect was that he had just started working on the blueprint when N2 seemed to have other things to report.

"Huh? You want me to visit the new warship built by your mechanical lifeforms?"

Wherever n2 appears, there will inevitably be the presence of Bobola or Divara. In fact, Yan Luo has begun to doubt who is the real sister among them.

I always feel that the two girls in red and the Gemini have a very good compatibility, and they seem inseparable.

"Yes, this is the first warship we have designed. It will be the future naval fleet."

N2 nodded emphatically at Yan Luo's questioning sentence.

Yan Luo knew that she wanted to form a naval fleet on her own.

She had actually submitted this plan to Yan Luo for review a long time ago.

Yan Luo's comment on this is: If you can do it yourself, then why should he bother thinking about it? Of course I support it!

It’s just that the progress of the mechanical life form is a little different from that of the human form. It seems that the progress of the mechanical life form is beyond his expectations.

It seemed like it hadn't been long before their warships appeared. It was unknown how much their productivity exceeded that of the humanoids.

Sure enough, when the earth was in internal strife, the mechanical life forms released a distance as large as the ocean.

Bobo La was also very surprised at N2's rapid progress. She was now paying close attention to the movements in N2's palace, simply because she didn't want this woman from the wild to seduce humans.

So when she appears, I have to be there too, to avoid being robbed without paying attention.

However, she was indeed very curious about the N2 battleship, so when Yan Luo was considering whether to go, she gave her own advice:

"Sir, let's go take a look. Roundhead's independent research and development must be a memorable moment."

This reason is a bit far-fetched. In fact, the relationship between Popola and N2 is not that good yet.

She may have come to obtain necessary intelligence.

As space exploration accelerates and it is confirmed that there are indeed new civilizations nearby, the Earth currently needs a unified external name to deal with possible diplomatic incidents.

Under the leadership of human beings, the formation of a dual government on Earth is an unstoppable event.

However, who will be the main body of this is still under discussion.

Perhaps this will be determined by various factors, such as naval strength.

Of course, it is not impossible for each side to play its own game. The two sides can completely separate administratively, without a so-called entity, and only retain a nominal unified name to the outside world.

This is not impossible.

It's just that as humanoid and mechanical life forms that have been in opposition for thousands of years, suddenly one side progressed too quickly and even developed its own warships.

This is a bit unreasonable. Doesn't it clearly mean that they are not good in human form?

So Popola needs to go and see what kind of tricks the mechanical life has come up with.

At the same time, she also needs to obtain enough evidence to urge her compatriots to be more vigilant.

Start building now! Or you'll be surpassed by your former rivals!

Yan Luo was obviously not quite clear about Boppola's idea, but her advice did play some role.

It is indeed necessary to go and see it.

"go!"

So a few hours later, Yan Luo saw a scene that destroyed his worldview.

"Welcome to the Ruler."

"Did I hear correctly? The ship is talking?"

Chapter 129: Sphere, freedom is calling you.

"The ship is talking?"

The warships of the mechanical life forms were obviously built within the atmosphere.

After all, they don't have the conditions to build ships in the universe, and even if they did, their progress should have been reported to Yan Luo long ago by the humanoids who had seized the initiative in the universe.

It’s not like now, where we still need the other party to report to us.

However, since it is built in an atmospheric environment, this ship should have the ability to enter the planet.

Otherwise, when it is built, the cost of sending it into space will not be worth it.
