Stellaris from the Automata Era

From the beginning of the interstellar age to the N2 expedition to the Koprulu sector, although they have consciously understood the importance of the fleet, their previous foundation was relatively weak after all.

In addition, if you want to produce warships at will, you must first build the prerequisite buildings, so it is not possible to produce warships in large quantities in the starry sea immediately.

Even after so many days, the mechanical life forms still couldn't muster more than a hundred frigates. With this small number of people, let alone fighting Leviathan, they might be killed by flying dragons before they even reach it.

After all, they were a little embarrassed, but that was only because their numbers were not enough. As long as the numbers increased, let alone Yan Luo's manpower, even if the Golden Fleet came, they would have to use the super-time and space channel to escape.

Therefore, the fact that a Zerg can produce an 200-population effect within a 800-population limit is no joke. Compared to others that only have special effects, this one is real.

"It seems that we can only organize ground troops to defend as much as possible and see if the Protoss will send anyone over."

With such a desperate gap, it is no longer possible for humans to turn the situation around.

We can only hope that the Protoss will react. They have always liked to curb the growth of the Zerg and will turn all the Zerg planets into a sea of ​​fire.

"Master! New situation, friendly sign! Is it a humanoid battlecruiser?!"

In front of Leviathan in the picture, a battle cruiser suddenly appeared from virtual to real.

The battlecruiser probably hadn't expected such a massive object to appear before its eyes. It was silent for a second before its reactor roared to life. Its entire body shone with light, and it seemed ready to use maximum power to escape.

"Wait?" Yan Luo questioned this familiar scene. "How did it get there?"

Chapter 11: Stupid and ignorant B comes before Leviathan!

“Ahhh! Where the hell are all these strange creatures coming from?”

11b's maturity and composure were finally shattered when countless dragons were flying towards him.

To be honest, she was just following the exhaust of a mechanical frigate she had accidentally encountered and heading to an unknown planet.

I plan to say hello to them and ask for the coordinates of the wormhole to take me home.

Although asking for their coordinates as the detection targets this time is indeed a bit tricky.

But from the perspective of the humanoids whose lower limits have generally dropped a lot, this is still feasible. Moreover, the commander next door has gone to ask for round heads to hit watermelons, and the big guys above are all in harmony. Why can't these soldiers under them do the same?

Besides, was she asking for help? No! This was simply to better monitor the movements of the mechanical lifeforms!

For this purpose 11b can sacrifice anything except humans, including the lower limit!

The reason was quite good, at least the crew members were convinced.

So, with the dream of returning home in mind, 11b ordered the battle cruiser to actively approach the planet where some signs of mechanical life activity had just been discovered.

However, when they descended above the stratosphere and were considering whether to send a transport ship down or make a hard landing with a battle cruiser, a large black cloud broke through the stratosphere and quickly enveloped them.

By the time they reacted, creatures they had never seen before had surrounded them and launched an attack with a unique biological weapon from its tail. This was the flying dragon.

"Where's the artillery crew? Gunners, return to your posts and return fire!"

11b panicked and quickly gave orders, but it was of no use.

The fighting power of the flying dragon is not too strong, and it may even be a bit of a scratch for the thick-skinned battlecruiser.

However, with the support of their huge numbers, they were able to cut through the battle cruiser's outer steel plates bit by bit.

It wasn't long before alarms began to sound in the command room.

"Commander! The outer armor can no longer withstand the damage! The damage to the left wing in particular has exceeded 50."

"So what's the gunner on the left wing doing? Didn't he hear the barrage was too thin?"

This...is no longer a problem that can be solved by the number of barrages.

Drawing inspiration from the Terran battlecruisers, the firepower of the humanoid battlecruisers was actually not that strong, but Yan Luo was very dissatisfied with this before, so he added a lot of turrets later.

Although they did not go so far as to cram a turret into every empty space, the total firepower from above and below was about a hundred groups.

Please note that this is a group! If the quantifier is broken down into units, the number would be at least around 400.

According to this calculation method, the ammunition fired by the battle cruiser can barely cover the area below it in an instant.

However, the reaction was too slow before, and a large number of flying dragons had already pressed against the battleship. They were not only tearing the outer steel plates, but also destroying the counterattacking artillery positions.

Because everyone was too close, the humanoid gunners who were in their first air combat often found out only after their guns had fired a burst of bullets that their own steel plates had been penetrated as well.

In fact, they can check the wounds afterwards and may find that many of the injuries were not caused by the dragon.

Of course, 11b didn't know yet that she was surrounded by friendly forces. As the damage value on the alarm increased, she knew clearly that if she didn't do something, the entire battleship would soon be unable to withstand it.

"Cheshire! Can we speed away from the battlefield?"

"Impossible! Do you see those creatures densely packed around us?" the battleship pilot responded quickly. "You're well aware of the instantaneous kinetic energy we've generated! Accelerating out of range and crashing into them now would cause no less damage than a direct hit from a cannonball. Given the battleship's condition, it would completely fall apart!"

"Is there any other method? As a professional, you should have some ideas!"

The current situation is already extremely urgent. To be honest, with 11b's limited abilities, she can't think of any way to escape. At this time, she can only seek advice from more professionals.

And Cheshire, who was highly expected, did not disappoint 11b, he actually had one.

"Perhaps we can warp."

"Wait, do we have this technology?"

Fold 11b was still clear, but she had some doubts when she heard this answer.

She didn't seem to have heard any inside information about the successful development of such a high-end warship movement method.

"Yes," Cheshire replied firmly. "The original ship already had this feature. The research department replicated it during the replica, but it seems it hasn't been tested yet."

Or to put it another way, the humanoids themselves have not yet fully understood the folding technology. The folding devices they have now are just what they saw on the sample battleship before, and they took a look at them and then restored them.

As to whether this thing is a perfect replica or a scaled-down youth version, there is no experimental data to support it, but based on the principle that there should be no useless extra space on the battlecruiser, they still installed the folding device.

Now this uninspected jump device may become 11b and the others' last straw.

Without hesitation or thought, 11b quickly said to Cheshire, "What are you waiting for? Warp!"

But almost half a minute after she finished speaking, there was no change in the universe and starry sky outside. There were still countless flying dragons surrounding it. Finally, 11b looked at Cheshire with a puzzled look.

As if sensing her gaze, Cheshire turned his head in response.

"Don't look at me! I don't know how to use this thing!" Yes, Cheshire didn't know how to use it. As one of the earliest spaceship pilots, they didn't have such high-end things at that time.

Therefore, it is natural that you don’t know how to use it.

"You don't know how to use it? How did you become a battleship pilot?"

"Didn't you choose it, Commander?"

Such words left 11b speechless.

"Anyway, let me read the instructions first!" Cheshire didn't argue further, scanning the instructions thoughtfully prepared by the research department. "I think I know how to do it now, but I can't guarantee the landing location. We might find the sun right in front of us when we warp out."

"Falling into the sun is better than now. At worst, I can return to the glory of my lord and warp at my command!"

Under 11b's command, Cheshire operated quickly, inputting commands one after another as he moved, and then the entire battleship disappeared on the spot.

When they reappeared in the material world, they found both good news and bad news.

The good news is, they didn't warp into the sun.

The bad news is that they warped right in front of Leviathan's face.

"Cheshire, move the battleships! Run!"

Chapter 11: The weak B attempts to challenge the powerful insect mother

"The world belongs to the Swarm!"

The nameless insect mother has always believed this.

As the creation of the Queen of Blades to replace the brain worms of the pre-Zerg Domination era, the Zerg Queens are actually not too smart. However, due to their genetic instincts, they are the most ferocious and cunning hunting leaders.

Like other Zerg Mothers, the Nameless Zerg Mother has always held a contemptuous attitude towards other races in the universe.

Those strange two-legged species that do not have sharp claws and cannot evolve rapidly will sooner or later be eliminated by the natural laws of the universe.

Now those guys can still survive, entirely relying on their steel toys. Once it tears open those thick shells, it will be able to taste their delicious fear and biomass.

According to the original plan, it should have loyally followed the queen and went to the planet of the Protoss or the Terrans to rapidly grow and evolve its own race.

But it was also because of its queen's order that it eventually came to a remote galaxy to snatch something from a Terran commander named Jim Raynor.

It originally had full confidence in this mission. Although it was not the most powerful group in the Zerg swarm, it was not as weak as many low-level Zerg queens that could only roll around on the planet.

There's nothing a single Tyranid commander's forces can do to stop it!

However, as it was marching its forces, it was attacked by the Tal'darim Death Fleet.

After both sides suffered serious damage in a fierce battle, it finally broke through the blockade of the Tal'darim with the last Leviathan and came to this unknown galaxy.

Soon it discovered that a mechanical creation had occupied this place and all the surrounding galaxies.

"So are these ridiculous toys Protoss or Tyranids?" The Zerg Queen thought as she squirmed inside the Leviathan.

Essentially speaking, it, or rather all insect queens, do not have much desire to attack mechanical creations.

After all, these machines have no essence and biomass. Even if the casualties reach 1 to when exchanging with them, it is unthinkable, not to mention that when has the Zerg ever achieved a positive record?

Although she didn't want to have any conflict, the Zerg Queen knew with her limited wisdom that the machines were minions of the Tyranids or Protoss. If she didn't destroy them all, even toys used to relieve her fatigue might scratch her thick skin.

Moreover, these mechanical creations have occupied the current precious habitable planets. For the Zerg Queen who has just emerged from the war, it must strengthen its own race again.

So it began to issue its orders without hesitation.

"Send troops to these planets!"

The Zerg landing troops, wrapped in spores from Leviathan, crashed into the planet very smoothly.

Compared to the past, whether it was the Tyranids or the Protoss, the moment their spores were ejected, they were intercepted in orbit countless times, and there were even fleets assembled ready to fight to the death.

The mechanical creature's reaction is quite slow and... funny.

The insect queen even saw those silly and cute round-headed machines curiously jumping in front of the tumor that was transforming from a worker bee into a spiny reptile, and gently tapping it with her hands.

At the same time, the yellow eyes blinked, as if wondering what was in front of them.

Are these things...really the creations of the Tyranids or the Protoss?

If it was the Queen of Blades who came in person, she might be able to react quickly. She might have encountered a completely new and unknown race, or at least their creations.

However, the Insect Queen didn't think so much.

It continued to make tactical deployments according to its previous thinking and established its own front-line base. Since those round-headed creatures did not come to harass it, it ignored them for the time being.

And the moment the front-line base was completed, it immediately issued its highest order to occupy the entire planet!

It was not until this time that those round-headed creatures finally reacted and began to fight back.

But how can their ridiculous and weak bodies reach the indestructible swarm of insects? All their efforts are in vain and useless... Well, it is still useful...

It is undeniable that those short round-headed creatures really have no fighting power. The one who was the most daring to touch the tumor had already been pierced by the sharp spines of the spiny reptile.

What follows is a frenzy of springtails popping out of the hive one after another.

It was originally a one-sided massacre until the Zerg encountered a larger and taller model.

These guys who were armed with weapons and engaged in close combat made the Zerg Queen think of the group of Protoss involuntarily. The casualty ratio was also... What was even more uncomfortable was that because they rushed too fast before, a large number of Zerglings were killed within the control range of the Round Head, and the biomass they left behind was difficult to recover.

The Worm Queen now only felt that she was touching the industrial cables of the Terrans, which was a loss.

Fortunately, the battle situation was not difficult to maintain. The insect queen quickly adjusted her deployment, and a large number of flying dragons emerged from the insect nest, and soon these iron lumps affected by gravity were beaten and fled away in panic.

Although the enemy's flying troops also arrived at the battlefield later, the wonderful thing is that it finally found a unit that was more embarrassing than the flying dragon!

Those round-headed creatures sitting in the small frisbees were simply the objects of the flying dragon's teasing. No matter their attack frequency or maneuvering speed, they were completely crushed by the flying dragon.

The only problem is that there seem to be a lot of them...

After all, it is a modification of the basic round head. The biggest advantage of this model is that it is cheaper for large quantities. In addition, N2 has been operating in the galaxy for quite some time, so the modification is fast.

This is simply the equivalent of Emperor Mengsk of Tyranids going to the streets and arresting a bunch of people, giving each of them a gun, and telling them that there are no civilians in war anymore.

It would be difficult to defeat the huge swarm of insects that had just rushed in for the time being.

In fact, the Zerg Queen has begun to doubt who is the real Zerg Swarm.

"No! My tribe must regroup." The tension on the battlefield made the insect queen squirm back and forth anxiously.
