"The main engine of the spacecraft stalled, the second auxiliary engine is being repaired, and the third auxiliary engine is working normally."
"Dark Star 1 support ship jumps and will rendezvous in fifteen minutes."
"Eighty percent of the insect swarm in Luofeng has been wiped out. It is only a matter of time before the remaining insects are wiped out. We have sacrificed more than 16,000 soldiers and lost twelve ships."
The pseudomother insects were defeated one after another, and the insect swarm lost its activity. It was being divided and surrounded by the Sherman Empire fleet, and was annihilated one by one.
"The Sherman Empire's military launched a national public live broadcast, broadcasting the already certain encirclement and suppression campaign to the entire Sherman Empire, emphasizing that they had defeated the sinister conspiracy of the New Federation."
"The New Federation has begun organizing an emergency press conference to try to explain that this matter has nothing to do with them."
Lu's voice paused:
"The New Federation's troops evacuated in an orderly manner after seeing the Zerg. This became the most favorable evidence for Sherman."
Behind the porthole.
Yang Luo, who was slumped in his chair, breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard the news that this 'small' insect swarm had been wiped out.
"Law, has our landing point been detected by Sherman's military?"
"Not yet, boss. To be on the safe side, we are heading towards the border of the Sherman Empire at this moment, making a picture of returning to the Sherman Empire. We have already passed by the edge of the detection system of a Sherman Empire boundary monument, leaving behind
Turn around immediately after leaving traces.”
Lu Kuaisheng explained:
"Even if Feinan loses most of its power, its performance is still better than that of ships of the same length."
"I have turned on the stealth system to the maximum, and the spacecraft's energy can still last for three galaxies, which is enough for us to wait for supplies."
Yang Luo nodded and began to look at the projection screen with interest.
On the projection screen, there is a live broadcast of the Sherman Empire exterminating pests.
The Sherman Empire's ability to seize opportunities is indeed much stronger than before.
Are these noble gentlemen aware of the benefits of guiding public opinion?
This battle also intuitively reflected the terrifying war strength of the Imperial fleet supported by dreadnoughts.
This insect swarm is a death squad sent by a mature group of fifth-level semi-space insect races.
With one-tenth of the strength of the death squads, the Luofeng Empire military alliance currently controlled by Yang Luo almost used all its strength to annihilate them, and had to pay a certain amount of casualties to annihilate them.
The main body of this death squad fell apart in an instant when faced with the dreadnought formation and the empire's powerful expeditionary force.
What is strength?
Dreadnoughts are called strength!
However, Yang Luo also knows that his desire to own such a powerful ship seems to be a wishful thinking at present.
"Lv," Yang Luo said, "This time the pension for the soldiers who died in Luofeng will come from our private funds, and it is twice the standard."
"Yes, boss."
Lu lowered his voice and reminded: "Miss Hera is also listening. We can discuss this matter later to avoid putting pressure on her."
Yang turned around and looked, Hera was standing by the porthole a few meters away, staring out the window.
Yang Luo nodded lightly, motioning for Lu to go ahead and get busy, got up and walked over.
"never mind."
Yang Luo hugged her from behind:
"There is a gap in our early warning mechanism. The direction from which the bug came is our usual defense gap. It will be filled after this time."
"A lot of people died, right?"
Hera whispered:
"This is my responsibility. My experiment is destined to cause disaster."
"That is also the responsibility of both of us. I fully funded your experiment."
Yang held her in his arms, feeling the tremors coming from her petite body, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Luo, I can no longer return to the Fallen Wind Empire," Hera said. "I want to go to an uninhabited planet. I will find a way to prevent the insect swarm from contacting me, such as turning on the signal shielding device all the time. I have already researched almost everything
Now, I can also take the initiative to extract samples of microorganisms infected with common worms, so as to cover the infection and completely cover the microorganisms that may have mutated in my body. I 1."
She was speechless because Yang Luo had already raised her chin, lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Hera's body became softer and softer, but she soon began to struggle.
"Lolo!"
"Okay," Yang Luo let go of his arm, Hera turned to face him, took two steps back and leaned against the porthole.
"She looked at Yang Luo with complicated eyes: I already know why the insect swarm came."
Yang Luo frowned and said, "I didn't ask Lu to tell you this."
"I have communicated with that female worm," Hera's lips trembled. "The swarm of insects thinks that its natural enemies are tainting the female worm. They worship reproduction. I have also tried to explain to it that I am a human, but its cognition
It didn’t waver.”
Yang:
"We are human beings," Yang Luo said, "Hera, you must admit this, we are all human beings, but there are some differences."
"Yes, you are human, but I may not still be human."
Hera's mood collapsed slightly:
"I can feel their thoughts. After I communicated with the Queen, I even experienced new changes. I can feel the fluctuations that occur when those bugs are defeated. They also have emotions and fear."
I can feel their fear and anger.
"Luo, I really can accept that I am not a good person, and I can betray my country because I feel that my country has done something unjust, but I cannot accept that I am no longer a human being. I know it. I know it.
"
"Calm down Hera," Yang Luo said in a deep voice, slowly hugging Hera.
Hera suddenly collapsed emotionally and sobbed in Yang Luo's arms.
Although Yang Luo's focus might be a little strange in this situation, he clearly felt it.
Hera's mood seemed to be back to normal.
Her emotions that had been suppressed and affected before, and the emotional system that she had lost before, seemed to have suddenly recovered at this moment.
She is no longer so compulsively calm and rational.
There were signs of this change before. Yang Luo recalled it carefully, and it was probably about the same time that she adjusted the direction of the experiment and started trying to give instructions to the bugs.
The reason why Hera's emotions were suppressed before was because of the microorganisms in her body?
It's quite magical.
Yang Luo quickly suppressed these thoughts and began to comfort Hera gently.
It stands to reason that in this atmosphere, they can start a great journey of post-war warmth;
But Hera insisted that they could not engage in any cross-border behavior now and must maintain a certain distance.
This made Yang Luo feel a little annoyed.
Fifteen minutes later, a water drop-shaped, 500-meter-class large supply ship appeared above the Feinan.
This supply ship is obviously a copy of the New Federation's latest special ship. The tail of the "Water Drop" is the engine room and the control room. The nearly three-hundred-meter-diameter circular cavity in front of the "Water Drop" has a super large volume.
Feinan maintained optical stealth and faced the supply ship.
The outer deck of the supply ship continued to rotate, slowly opening a huge crack, swallowing the Feinan in one go.
Subsequently, the supply ship began to coat, jump, and disappeared in this desolate star field.
In order to avoid possible pursuit, the supply ship first jumped into the no-man's land within the Sherman Empire, and then jumped four times in a row before returning to the Fallen Empire.
The Dark Star No. 1 supply ship is a support ship tailor-made for the Feinan.
The Feinan docked in the dock, and several huge telescopic robotic arms immediately pressed over to secure the Feinan firmly.
Dozens of suspended platforms painted silvery white floated forward, forming a stable passage outside Feinan's main cabin door, connecting the luxuriously decorated rest platform.
Hundreds of mechanical guards lined up behind the metal frames on both sides.
Rows of crawler robots quickly passed by the bottom deck and began to perform maintenance on the Feinan.
When the hatch was opened, the mechanical guards and the robots everywhere stopped moving at the same time. These machines with independent thinking bodies inside, at the same time, caressed the chest of their father, the great goddess of law, and saluted.
"is it beautiful?"
Yang Luo asked Hera with a smile, and the latter nodded slightly.
Yang curled his lips and said: "Three hundred million, this ship and the machinery inside it are all made for you, and they are all beautiful in exchange for money."
Hera smacked her lips slightly.
Yang Luo remembered something and turned to wave to 026.
026, who was admiring the scenery inside the ship, immediately ran up. After being warned by Yang Luo, he helped Hera to go to the platform to rest first.
Then, Yang Luo turned to face the black box that could not be seen by outsiders, and said with a smile:
"Welcome aboard, Examiner."
The examiner appeared above the black box with his hands behind his back, turning his head and looking around, his eyes full of emotion.
Yang Luo quickly entered the state and began to talk:
"The Luofeng Empire and the surrounding subordinate political systems that you saw before are just the forces I formed on the surface."
"You know, I have no foundation. Unlike Levi Sherman, who came from a noble family with territory and led his family to fight all the way."
My foundation now lies in these little guys that I personally raised.
"The next thing we are going to is our Dark Star Base No. 2. After Hera is settled, we will go to Base No. 1 for a walk."
"Also, can you guide me? I want to protect my partner. Can we use our existing technology to build a shielding facility to ensure that she is not threatened by the insect swarm?"
The examiner nodded immediately.
"Rules are dead, but people are alive. Your cherishment and love for your partner makes me look at you."
The examiner turned his head and looked around. He seemed to be able to see those small mechanical thinking bodies, and his old face was full of emotion.
Even a little moved.
"You have won my respect, Secondary Ancient God Life Form. This is the second time I have said this. All of this is simply unbelievable."
Yang Luo and Lu looked at each other, their expressions tightened, and they continued to remain serious.
Although the Dark Star Project is their backup plan, the original intention is to solve the bug of getting stuck in the assessment after the effort to gain power fails;
But from now on, Yang Luo, who has mastered the 'assessment code', has decided that they will control a human force from the beginning in order to better develop the Mechanical Star!
"Clear priorities".
Dark Star’s second base was chosen on an abandoned resource star near Luofeng’s third administrative star.
The scale of the base here is not too large. Unlike the No. 1 base that goes deep underground to develop an underground city, the No. 2 base is only opened at a depth of two hundred meters above the surface. It relies on three connected abandoned mines, and the amount of construction work is much smaller.
Nowadays, Base 2 already has the prototype of an underground city.
Its main body consists of a medium-sized shipyard (under construction), two mechanical automatic production workshops, a heavy machinery assembly workshop, and twelve maintenance workshops;
Around these core buildings, residential areas have been built to accommodate thousands of mechanical thinking bodies.
Of course, they have no complaints about the harsh environment and work hard every day for the prosperity of civilization.
Yang Luo introduced Base No. 2 like this:
"This is used as a production base and also as a foothold for later foreign trade. In the future, the number of mechanical thinking bodies here will still be controlled at three thousand, and a large number of low-end artificial intelligence machines will be stationed for fully automated production."
"My plan is to let the most outstanding mechanical thinking bodies stationed here and be equipped with unified simulator skins so that they can integrate into human society."
"After all, the thinking blueprint of these mechanical thinking bodies relies on imitating human thinking."
"That's right," the examiner said with a smile, "Actually, they are more like an extension of human thinking, but without the frail human body."
Yang Luo nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Lv and I designed a complete set of logical structures, and each area is equipped with a psychological counselor to prevent our thoughts from going astray."
"You can browse briefly first. Once we build a defensive barrier and place Hera, I will take you to Base No. 1 immediately."
"Let Lu move faster," the assessor urged, "I can't wait to announce your assessment results. The method I gave should be very simple."
Lu appeared next to him and complained: "It's very simple. Use biomagnetic fields to manipulate particles in the microscopic world. Teacher, haven't you considered that the technology I master at this stage may not meet this requirement?"
"Is this," the examiner wondered, "is it difficult to do? Have you been focusing on studying how to make yourself cute these past few years?"
Lu pursed her lips tightly and disappeared.
Yang Luo smiled and said: "She is indeed quite cute."
The examiner shrugged.
Once you understand the examiner's preferences, the next assessment will become extremely smooth.
In particular, they arrived at the Dark Star, the Void Dark City and the large-scale underground city after half a day, which made the examiner marvel.
The existence of the Dark City ensures the common logic between mechanical thinking bodies and humans.
The thinking bodies born inside subconsciously think that they are human beings.
And this steel city built on the underground ocean maintains the activity of more than 100,000 machines on weekdays, and can already provide hardware support for 60,000 mechanical thinking bodies.
Although in order to support the construction of Base 2, the number of thinking entities living here is only a few thousand;
But as long as there is an emergency, the Dark City can pull out an army of 60,000 mechanical thinking bodies at any time.
The underground ocean was originally dark, but under the illumination of this mechanical city, there were patches of light here.
After walking half a circle around Base No. 1, Yang Luo parked the hover car near the artificial beach, led the assessor to a lighthouse-like building, and turned around to look at the entire city.
The examiner's eyes were full of emotion, but he still reminded himself:
"Pay attention to the scale. It must not be too large, otherwise the Faya civilization will treat this place as an omnic crisis."
"Although I am very happy that you can accept the form of mechanical thinking body civilization, the Milky Way is now the territory of mankind, and you still have to make a supplement here to manage the existing human social order."
"I don't want to, after finally encountering such a good seedling, it was destroyed by Faya unreasonably."
Yang Luo pondered for a few times: "Is there anything hidden in your description of the Faya civilization?"
"Of course," the examiner smiled, "when you master more information and have a more comprehensive understanding, you can get more truths. The development of civilization is cruel and there is no emotion at all. After all, individuals
Submitting to the collective will is the tyranny of the majority."
Yang Luo nodded.
The powerful Faya civilization, the cruel Faya game.
"abyss".
Zerg.
The threat of the Valkyries.
The Luofeng Empire and the main civilization of the galaxy.
Yang Luo's mood was very complicated at this moment, but these complicated emotions soon turned into a shallow smile.
"You seem to have figured something out?"
The examiner asked with great interest: "Can you share it with me? Before I announce that you have passed the examination."
Yang Luo shrugged: "I just thought that compared to the moment I opened my eyes and recognized this galaxy, I already have a lot, so why bother worrying too much about the constant crises, to see and conquer."
/With a good attitude, "The examiner's projection left the black box, and there was an extra scroll in his hand," "Okay, I'm going to announce your results next."
Lu appeared in a corner, nervously waiting for the examiner to speak.
Your first assessment result was excellent, undisputedly excellent. Your score was 126,705.2, which was 60,000 higher than the baseline.
I declare that you passed the first Omnic Twilight assessment.
"Next, you must take three months to go to Omnic Twilight to accept the gift of this lost civilization and start a new assessment cycle."
"Although the technology given to you after the first round of assessment is only the basic technology for the development of first-level civilization towards second-level civilization, it is also the cornerstone for you to undertake high-level technology in the future."
"This assessment has been successfully concluded."
The assessor stopped talking, and the black box became faint at the same time.
Before leaving, the examiner winked at Yang Luo:
"This time, you can bring a 400-meter-class ship over."
"It's time for me to upgrade your protection measures. The enemy you face is too powerful for you at this stage."
"If my master knew that their successors would be so bullied by such humble high-dimensional insects, it would be unimaginable. I would definitely be thrown into the time vortex for hundreds of millions of years."
Four hundred meters level?
A higher level of transformation than Feinan?
Yang Luo's eyes became extremely shining.
Mudd!
He had no choice last time. Feinan was his first ship. This time he must get a gunboat with dual main guns!
