　　As the androids, under the leadership of Shen Ye, were busy with construction, transformation and development of new territories, the mechanical life that had been in a sluggish state and passively beaten for a long time seemed to have finally come to its senses.

　　Just when the number of androids had exceeded 200,000 and they had dozens of factories and gathering places of various sizes, the androids on the front line clearly felt that the number of mechanical life had increased dramatically.

　　The news was quickly passed back to the headquarters in Hope City, so White convened another meeting.

　　At the same time as the artificial humans were holding a meeting, a meeting of only a few people was also taking place in a large mechanical life tribe hundreds of kilometers away from Hope City.

　　And in this tribe of mechanical life, a city also appeared, but this city seemed to have no breath of life. It was pure white all over, emitting dazzling reflections in the sun.

　　There is a tall tower in the center of the city, which is also pure white, and around the tower are densely packed mechanical life forms. They face the tower and make gestures of worship. Although they have no independent consciousness, they are shouting the words "The glory of my God will last forever" in their mouths.

　　Inside the tower, Adam and Eve stood under a huge throne. They raised their heads and looked up along the steps of the throne. When they passed the last step, they stopped and no longer looked up, because on the last step, they saw two pairs of slender legs.

　　The owners of these two pairs of legs are a pair of identical little girls in red clothes with human appearance.

　　And they are N2, a special network aggregate with independent consciousness born from the mechanical life network.

　　At the same time, they can also be said to be the gods of all current mechanical life forms, because they were born in the network of mechanical life, and even the birth of Adam and Eve is related to them.

　　At this time, the two girls in red were standing on the last step, looking at Adam and Eve standing under the throne, and listening to the worship and prayers of the mechanical life outside the tower.

　　"The strength of the androids has improved qualitatively. Their number has now exceeded 200,000, and this number was yesterday. I'm afraid there will be more today. Coupled with the appearance of their creators, humans, they already have the strength to overthrow us."

　　One of the N2s glanced at the sisters who looked exactly like her and said calmly.

　　"So, you still insist on your idea that protecting the artificial humans is protecting us? Now, can you admit that your original idea was wrong?"

　　Ever since mechanical life occupied most of the land on the earth and drove the androids from the surface into space, N2, which was born from the mechanical life network, has developed two different concepts.

　　One believes that a war of extermination should be waged against the androids, destroying all of them and fulfilling their creator's goal at the time.

　　And before that, they did so. Due to the extinction of mankind and various restrictions, the artificial humans, who were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, were almost in a state of extinction. Even if they left the surface and came into space, they were still in a state of being destroyed by mechanical life at any time.

　　However, with the evolution of mechanical life, when mechanical life retaliated against their creators, a problem arose. This problem is also the underlying logic of mechanical life, that is, their existence is to destroy artificial humans. If artificial humans no longer exist, then is there any need for them to exist?

　　This is just like the existence of artificial humans is for humans, it is a logical problem.

　　So, another N2 came up with a different idea. In order to maintain the logic that mechanical life can exist, she proposed the idea that protecting androids is to protect mechanical life. As long as androids exist, these mechanical lives can continue to exist.

　　However, if nothing unexpected happens, this is indeed a feasible plan, and that is what they did. After occupying a huge part of the surface land, they basically stopped the attack. You have to know that they have an absolute numerical advantage. If they really want to take the initiative to attack, even the large resistance camp of Anemone will not be able to withstand the attack of mechanical life.

　　The artificial people also vaguely noticed this, but they just didn't know the reason.

　　But the situation is different now. Because of the emergence of humans, some restrictions on artificial humans have been lifted. Artificial humans with technological advantages can produce a large number of artificial humans in a short period of time as long as they have enough materials. They are no slower than mechanical life forms, and the individual combat power of artificial humans is generally stronger than that of mechanical life forms. Once the numerical advantage of mechanical life forms no longer exists, the only thing that awaits them is destruction.

　　"Wrong? No, my concept is not wrong. I still think that protecting androids is protecting us." Hearing the accusation of his sister, another N2 slowly shook his head: "I just never expected that a human would still exist. His appearance is incomprehensible. There are no humans on the Moon base, and according to the android high command's data, the last known human perished millennia ago. So... where did he come from?"

　　"No matter where he came from, his appearance has seriously threatened our survival. The androids now have a backbone and are no longer as demoralized as they were before. My sisters, we must do something." said N2, who spoke earlier.

　　"Yes, we have to do something. We have been at ease for too long and our evolution has stagnated for a long time." Another N2 nodded and continued, "Well, since they want to take back their former land, let's continue the war with them, kill their creator, and then suppress their numbers back to their original level."

　　"Do you still want to stick to your previous ideas?" asked the N2 with a frown.

　　"What can we do? This is the underlying logic that we cannot modify, unless we can completely surpass our creator and replace that underlying logic." Another N2 said with some distress: "But we are just born from data after all. Unless we can have a free and uncontrolled consciousness like humans, but we seem unable to do it. Even if we use the knowledge we learned from humans to practice religion like machine life, it will be useless. After all, we are just data, even if we are gods in the eyes of machine life."

　　At this point, she lowered her gaze slightly, looked at Adam and Eve standing under the throne, and murmured, "Perhaps they can, but I cannot predict what the consequences will be. Just like in the human story, God created Eve and Adam, but did not know what would happen to their descendants. Perhaps they would worship him as the Supreme Being and regard him as the Creator. Or perhaps they would rebel against thier Creator like we did, and then kill us like we killed our Creator before."
