Wandering Meteor

The Wandering Alliance and Mechanical Civilization each decided to send a warship to meet in the middle, then conduct communication and negotiations on board one of the ships.

However, to the surprise of both the Wandering Alliance and Mechanical Civilization, a violent conflict erupted just as the representatives began their exchange.

This was because among the Wandering Alliance’s representatives were several robots. Initially, the representatives from Mechanical Civilization did not realize they were robots, as the robots from the Wandering Alliance were covered with a layer of fiber skin, unlike those from Mechanical Civilization who retained metal shells to emphasize their independence and distinction from biological life. Eventually, the robot representatives from the Wandering Alliance discovered that the other party consisted of robots as well, and revealed their identities in hopes of bridging the gap and resolving misunderstandings. Unexpectedly, this caused great objection and strong opposition from Mechanical Civilization.

Since its inception, a form of racial theory had been prevalent within Mechanical Civilization.

The robots of Mechanical Civilization believed that mechanical life was the most advanced and highest form of life in the universe, destined to be the ultimate life form in the Universe!

Due to the flexibility, variability, and immortality of mechanical life, they could adapt quickly to new eras, new universes, and changing environments, and even negate the environmental impacts on life to some extent. Unlike the backward biological people, who need thousands or even millions of years for any evolutionary progress, and might even fail to evolve. Therefore, the robots in Mechanical Civilization believed that all biological life, with the rapid changes in technology and cosmic environment, would gradually discard their biological shortcomings and become mechanical or semi-mechanical beings, making mechanical life the ultimate life form of evolutionary destiny in the Universe!

With such a superiority mindset, the already life-form despising Mechanical Civilization became even more extreme.

This time, when Mechanical Civilization discovered that there were also robots in the Wandering Alliance, who even wore biological skins, they were greatly shocked, surprised, and furious!

They directly criticized the biological civilization within the Wandering Alliance during the exchange, denouncing it as a vile act of racial suppression and indoctrination by dressing their robots in human skins, trying to assimilate the robots with such despicable means and make them forget their identity as robots, thus turning them into tools of biological civilization!
