Stellaris from the Automata Era

Often, at the moment when the two sides meet eyes, a volley is enough to lock the situation.

After all, the huge number of small ships themselves can be seen as an effect on consumption and damage resistance, but there are other factors involved in the huge loss ratio between the two sides.

"They actually have shields?"

Yes, the unknown civilization confronting the Earth actually has a technological route for shielding.

In the reviewed video, Yan Luo could clearly see that their ships were flashing with ripples on their surfaces like water under the volley of mechanical life.

There were even many ships whose trajectories changed direction as if they had lost their guidance the moment they were about to be hit by mechanical life weapons.

On the other hand, the mechanical life forms' ships were directly destroyed by others.

how to say.

Mechanical life forms are actually not without advanced technological routes. It is not difficult to see from the performance of Adam and Eve that they also have a lot of black technology.

Even shields can be equipped to individuals.

If the sea-wide wars with the humanoids were unnecessary, then after the battle in the universe, it was simply not worth it.

Destroyers and escorts are such crap! Are they equipped with the same equipment as cruisers and battleships?

What's even more troublesome is that the mechanical life forms themselves actually use energy weapons. There is no need to mention the shield's restraint on energy weapons, right?

So, for a standard patrol team of 30 ships, almost half of them can survive after a round of fighting. Yan Luo couldn't help but wonder if it was because of the thick armor or the strong structure?

Of course, the current situation is not an opportunity for him to express his opinion.

The sudden attack from the opposite side sounded the alarm for Yan Luo. He had to solve the problem of the mechanical fleet immediately in order to deal with the follow-up.

"We should still have time. N2, refit your fleet and weapons. If I remember correctly, you have shields and missiles, right? Install them."

The mechanical life's reinforcement fleet should not have departed from the Koprulu sector yet, so it should be possible to renovate it during this time.

The current situation has to be like this. From the fight between the two sides, Yan Luo can clearly see the disadvantages of mechanical life.

Although the subsequent reinforcements are all newer models, the equipment should not be much different in essence.

If we let them go to the front line, they will probably be suppressed and beaten.

Shields and shield-ignoring equipment must be deployed immediately.

"But if that's the case, my frontline fleet is no match at all. We don't even have an advantage in numbers. If they attack now, then..."

"Then let them attack," Yan Luo sneered in response to N2. "Given the current situation, even three fleets on the front lines aren't safe. If you don't complete an upgrade, any additional fleets will just be a gift to others.

Don't look at space wars with the same eyes you use for your battles with humanoids. Massive armies have long been overestimated. Only flawless armies are the theme of this era..."

Of course, Yan Luo also knew that what he said might not be right. If there were a massive army that could overwhelm the enemy, who wouldn't like to attack with their eyes closed?

But this is obviously not achievable for the mechanical life in the current situation on Earth.

"Anyway, if they can break through the front lines, let them fight. The fleet composed of humanoids and you will be responsible for protecting the solar system. They will be the last line of defense."

According to Yan Luo's estimation, the fleet of mechanical life forms should be fully equipped within three months.

If no war occurred during this period, it would be fine. The advanced fleet would resume its defense duties. However, something went wrong during this period.

Yan Luo will quickly empty all the galaxies outside the earth and directly stage the scene of the emperor guarding the country's borders.

Given the speed at which the enemy's main force would need to travel through the hyperspace channel, it's impossible for them to capture Earth in less than three months, right? This isn't Paris.

Anyway, once the mechanical fleet is modified, Yan Luo can immediately let the other side see what a double blow in terms of quality and quantity is like.

As for this tactical plan, it was quickly and well accepted by n2.

Then all that remains is one last question.

"N2, what do you think the other party wants to do?"

If the purpose was just reconnaissance, the reaction from the unknown party would be too strange.

Yan Luo said to be fair, the mechanical life had not found any trace of them at all. It was not difficult to find out from the video that the other party took the initiative to jump out of the shadows and completed a thrilling ship attack with the mechanical life.

They even seemed to give the mechanical lifeforms time to react.

It's no wonder that n2 was so angry before. If he was hit through the head by tricking and sneak attacking, it would be fine, but if he was taunted and hit through the head-on, he could only be furious and say that he was not as skilled as the other person.

So from this point of view, they are reconnaissance. Yan Luo can only say that they are taking a smart route (infiltration) and doing stupid things (provocation).

But if we think about it from another perspective, if the enemy is secretly sabotaging behind enemy lines...

"After destroying half of the patrol ships, you just ran away with one strike. That's not even considered a perfect infiltration, is it?!"

It’s not even considered a covert operation if we don’t kill all the enemies we find!

In short, without a God's perspective, Yan Luo couldn't figure out how the other party would behave.

Since he couldn't think of it, then n2 would be even more unable to think of it, especially since the suffix in front of him contained the word "destruction".

Yan Luo wanted to discuss the possibility of finding another n2 to evolve, after all, they only had one brain.

"Please don't embarrass me, Ruler."

In fact, N2 may be very self-aware. If she wants to fight against the cunning humans, she may seek help from another self.

So let's skip this for now.

"Then I'll figure it out myself."

So we might as well change our perspective and turn our attention back to the mud.

"Everyone, I see that the Zenithians (Earth) are just a paper tiger. We only need to give it a light kick and it will collapse on its own."

The oozes' top-secret reconnaissance fleet did indeed escape with one strike, and after another wave of attacks, they simply ran away along the hyperspace slide back to their home territory.

Perhaps compared to the small team that wants to wipe out all the mechanical life forms, they may be more concerned about their lives.

After all...the results of the initial battle do seem good, but considering the subsequent reinforcements from others, they might soon be overwhelmed by the incoming large force.

Looking at the salary in hand, this is not enough to make the slime who came to scout risk his life, otherwise the results of the battle may be even more amazing.

And it is enough for them to obtain the effects and intelligence they need at present.

After receiving the first-hand battle report, some people began to incite the paper tiger-like enemy.

If their previous expectation was that it was just a decent opponent that could consume excess population and speed up domestic sales.
