Eternal Night

Chapter 517 Plan
(PS: I feel much better today. I'll try to resume three updates a day this weekend or starting next Monday.)
"I need to go to the lunar headquarters, where the unified information processing center for the androids is located."

After looking at the moon, Wu Pifu had a general idea of ​​what was going on. Although he was unsure about the strength of enemies at this level, since the opponent had the tiger attribute, he had a special attack against the enemy, and he used the negative volume of his consciousness to launch the special attack. This was enough for him to defeat the enemy across levels. For example, the principle was similar when he fought the Golden Arhat.

However, this sounds unbelievable to others, because the mutation of the moon affects the entire planet, and the moon is heading towards Earth. If Wu Pifu were to go to the moon now, it would be equivalent to him fighting against a monster the size of a planet as a human being... This is simply impossible!
Seeing that all the androids wanted to persuade him, Wu Pifu said directly, "It's not that the moon has turned into a monster, but that pollution has eroded the moon. What we really have to face is not the planet, but the pollution byproducts that are enveloping the moon. You can think of it as the moon being enveloped by mutated mechanical life forms."

The androids looked at each other, and Ain immediately said, "Sir, even mutated mechanical life forms are extraordinary. They can cover the entire moon and even move it to crash into the earth. This is something that our current technology and power cannot contend with."

Wu Pifu shook his head and said, "I don't need you to defeat such an enemy, nor do I need you to shatter the moon. You just need to help me get to the surface of the moon."

Wu Pifu was very clear about his strengths and weaknesses. He was a specialist in fighting humanoids and individual combat units. When encountering enemies the size of planets, he was far inferior to Chu Minghao, who could directly shatter a star. His combat strength and combat mode did not allow it. Therefore, he had to avoid his weaknesses and use his close-range true damage to get close to the enemy.

If it's a battle on the continental level, it's fine. His movement speed on the Earth's surface can reach over 4,000 meters per second, and at full power, 4,500 meters per second is no problem. At this speed, it's almost impossible for any enemy on the planet's surface to dodge his close-range attack.

However, once it comes to the planetary level, his speed becomes incredibly slow, a mere 4,000 meters per second, slower than a snail in space. Moreover, he lacks the ability to survive in space. Whether it's his martial arts or the Immortal Martial Arts, at most it allows him to hold his breath for a little longer. Without air, he would still die. Furthermore, he doesn't have the ability to move in space.

These are all his weaknesses.

Unless the human government's technological capabilities are fully restored, and it creates a super brain assist device, a dragon rider system, and a mecha exclusively for him, he will not be much different from an ordinary person in space warfare.

Wu Pifu simply doesn't like to use his brain, but he's not stupid. At this moment, without the help of androids, he wouldn't even be able to get to the moon, even if he had a spaceship. The pollutant derivatives that envelop the moon can extend at least 100 kilometers, waving like tentacles across the lunar surface. Even if he had a spaceship, he wouldn't be able to get close; he would be blown up in space, and then everything would be over.

He must, and can only, rely on the collective power of the androids to ensure his landing on the lunar surface, and once he lands…

Hehe, the enemy is really fierce!
If he can actually swallow it, this is probably the most powerful and largest "tiger" he has ever swallowed so far. This also means that he will not have to worry about the problem of negative mental backlash for a long time. The negative mental backlash mode that can be used without limit for a period of time is powerful enough to make Wu Pifu's combat power explode by one or two times during this period!
However, despite Wu Pifu's words, the artificial beings remained hesitant and silent.

Logical and rational judgment, along with the various data results generated by their programs and chips, all failed to support Wu Pifu's proposed battle plan. Even if they managed to send Wu Pifu to the moon, under the attack of a terrifying monster of that size, only death awaited Wu Pifu; there was no other possibility.

Wu Pifu was in a bit of a predicament.

He understood that he couldn't force the androids to do this, even if he said they were pure-blooded humans. According to the Three Laws of Robotics, the first core requirement of these androids was to ensure the continuation of humanity and the safety of human lives. Unless they were certain that Wu Pifu could defeat the enemy and survive, they would never agree to this operation.

In fact, besides relying on artificial humans, Wu Pifu has another trump card to use, which is the Nodos Contract Crystal.

This item, obtained from the Warhammer Dreamworld, allows him to merge with the remnant soul of the Heroes and unleash their power. However, since it is only a fragment, it can only be used once. After that, it must be recharged and restored using the Ascended Essence. He had previously used the Mainframe to check it, and so far, it can only be used once. In the recent battle, he has only recharged it to less than one-fifth of its capacity.

However, he would still use it if necessary. Trump cards are meant to be used. But he had a premonition that if he used the Nodos Contract Crystal in this world, it might trigger some terrible change of Lost Contamination. And once this change happened, even if he temporarily gained the powerful strength of the Hero Race, he would probably perish completely in this world.

This premonition was so strong that Wu Pifu would never use the Nodos Contract Crystal when facing the Lost Contamination.

It seems... the civilization of the Hero Race has been completely lost, hasn't it? Just as Wu Pifu and the androids were sticking to their respective ideals, Beelzebub suddenly spoke up: "I suggest you use large computing devices to calculate in detail what will happen after the moon collides with the earth, Wu Pifu goes to the deep space exploration station as you wish, and sets sail for Mars."

Beelzebub's words stunned all the androids; a fly the size of a fist had actually spoken...

However, the androids quickly recovered. They instinctively felt the fly was some kind of artificial aid, a kind of assistive device. Although they didn't understand why Wu Pifu would create his intelligent aid in the form of a fly, Ein immediately replied, "That's right. We've used the central computer at headquarters to perform reasonable calculations. Once the moon collides with Earth, the moon will be completely shattered. Although Earth will retain about two-thirds of its celestial structure, everything on its surface will be destroyed, and its geological structure will also be permanently damaged..."

“What will happen to Wu Pifu?” Beelzebub asked immediately.

Ain paused for a moment, then a male android beside her said, “You can live on a deep space exploration station. It’s essentially a deep space exploration spaceship that can continuously travel to Mars. It has many construction and production modules. With our help, we can easily build a colony on Mars. Furthermore, this deep space exploration spaceship itself has an extremely powerful internal circulation system. You can definitely…”

At this moment, Beelzebub suddenly asked again, "Will Earth be infected by monsters and then continue its trajectory towards Mars? What are the chances of that?"

All the androids fell silent again. After a long while, Ein said in a hoarse voice, "The probability is extremely high... To be precise, the central computer's calculation is that the probability is over 75%. Earth will mutate and then crash into Mars, or rather, its purpose is to destroy us, and to destroy you, Master."

Beelzebub laughed and said, "This is the answer. The plan you chose is nothing more than a slow death, while Wu Pifu's plan is a desperate counterattack. There is not much difference between the two. In fact, the longer your plan drags on, the higher the failure rate will be, isn't it?"

The androids, including Ain, shook their heads. The man who had spoken earlier said, "No, it's not like that. As long as adults exist, we can create new humans by cloning their genes and simulating the genes of the mother. With enough humans, technology will continue to advance. According to our calculations, once adults go to Mars, even if Earth is mutated, it will take at least a thousand years to reach Mars at the current speed. During this time, our technology will be able to advance significantly."

Ain continued, "Moreover, apart from Mars, the solar system is vast. We have ample space to contend with this monster, at least several thousand years to accumulate. When future technology becomes more advanced, we might even break free from the solar system's confinement and take humanity to other star systems. This is entirely possible!"

Wu Pifu and Beelzebub exchanged a glance, and they immediately understood the crux of the problem... These androids believed that the changes on the moon were based on science, biology, or something else, even the disappearances and cataclysms. They didn't know the truth, and Wu Pifu couldn't tell them the truth at all. The more they knew, the faster they lost their way.

Wu Pifu thought for a moment and said, "You didn't consider the disappearance catastrophe. Right now, it's just a period of calm for this catastrophe. If we don't deal with the things on the moon as soon as possible, and if I can't get to the unified information processing center of the artificial humans as soon as possible, then the catastrophe will continue to intensify. Even if we go to Mars, it won't help. Not only will you disappear, but as time goes on, I will also disappear."

The androids' expressions changed drastically. Ein immediately said urgently, "Even increasing the distance won't help? The probability of an android disappearing on Earth is different from the probability of an android disappearing in space. According to the data calculations of the central computer, if we go to Mars, the probability of disappearing will drop to a level that is almost negligible, almost the same as the probability of quantum tunneling in the macroscopic world. It's impossible..."

Wu Pifu said seriously, "I'm not joking with you. You don't understand the truth about this disaster, and I can't tell you. Believe me, if we give up this battle and you protect me to Mars, that will be when the disaster will completely erupt! It has nothing to do with how far away from Earth it is, it only has to do with how many lives are left!"

The androids exchanged glances. Ain said resolutely, "Rest assured, sir, we have contingency plans. If the escape plan cannot be carried out, we are determined to fight to the death for the glory of humanity. But before that..."

At this point, Ein's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, saying, "We need to thoroughly scan your body, and then create a combat suit for you to fight in the vacuum of space, so..."

"Please allow me to personally scan and measure your body data; every inch of your skin needs..."

Wu Pifu's face darkened again.

He discovered that almost all of these androids were obsessed with women!
