Eternal Night

Chapter 518 The Great Lunar Operation!
The efficiency of androids is far beyond what humans can imagine. Although they possess some human souls and have the characteristics of intelligent life, they are still, in a strict sense, a type of robot. Once the next action is determined, there will be absolutely no shirking or internal strife. Instead, all androids will work together to achieve this goal.

Having decided to launch an operation against the moon, all the androids in space began to converge under the coordination of the General Command. This meant that the monitoring of mechanical life forms on Earth had been completely abandoned. All existing android military forces were concentrated, totaling sixty-one spaceships. If the accompanying attack aircraft were included, the number could exceed one thousand sorties.

When the androids gathered together, Wu Pifu was finally seen through by these infatuated men and women. In order to create the most suitable exoskeleton for him, every inch of his skin was exposed.

However, as long as they don't actually want to sleep with him, Wu Pifu doesn't care if they look at him naked. Anyway, his body is just a disguise by the main brain. What's so interesting about a dead-fish-eyed little brat?

He was actually very interested in the exoskeleton armor technology for androids.

This exoskeleton armor is not a simple mechanical creation, but a hybrid of mechanical and biological life forms. It is a semi-organic material that not only has the precision of a mechanical structure, but also the self-repair and self-evolution capabilities of a living organism.

All members of the Wakaba Squad have similar equipment, but it is only weapons, not exoskeleton armor. The manufacturing of such things is very complicated, and key materials need to be obtained from special individuals among the mechanical lifeforms. They are very precious, and only Wu Pifu, the only human, is qualified to obtain the complete version of the exoskeleton armor.

"This exoskeleton armor is a personalized product for adults. Because the adult's genetic map information is incorporated into its manufacturing process, only adults can activate it. When it is not needed, its appearance will change. Its metal parts will automatically condense. Adults can choose to display it as a bracelet, pocket watch, badge, or add metal decorations to their clothing. Its flesh and blood parts will be integrated into the adult's inner skin layer, so from the outside, it is completely unrecognizable as an exoskeleton armor."

A tall, beautiful woman with purple hair was explaining the various data and information of the exoskeleton armor to Wu Pifu. As she spoke, numerous display screens appeared out of thin air, listing the data and information of the exoskeleton armor.

Wu Pifu was completely clueless about these high-tech gadgets, but at least he could understand the data. He frowned and said, "The normal speed of flight in the atmosphere is 2,800 meters per second? Only when you go all out and can only burst speed in one direction can you reach about 8,000 meters per second and then leave the planet's surface. This normal speed is not even as fast as my physical body. And I don't understand the impact resistance. I don't recognize these numbers. Just tell me, what level of attack can this exoskeleton armor withstand? Can it withstand a nuclear bomb?"

The purple-haired beauty immediately looked embarrassed, and she slurred, "Theoretically speaking, the temperature of a nuclear weapon's close-range explosion is, uh, too high, and the shockwave, electromagnetic field, and... currently, there's no conventional individual protective gear that can, uh, can..."

Wu Pifu immediately complained, "Then what use is this exoskeleton armor to me? This thing can't even compare to my physical defense, and it's cumbersome for me to wear. How about this, you remove all the functions of this exoskeleton armor except for movement, keep only the defense, and then increase its defense. It doesn't have to exceed my physical strength, but at least it should be able to withstand a nuclear bomb, right?"

The purple-haired beauty stared wide-eyed, speechless.

Ain, standing nearby, smiled wryly and tried to smooth things over for the purple-haired beauty, saying, "My lord, we really can't do what you're asking. Just like what Lady Zihuan said, there is currently no individual defensive equipment or individual weapon module that can survive at the center of a nuclear explosion... My lord, you are a pure-blooded human, but we are just your people's creations. You can't force your creations to surpass the creator."

Wu Pifu sighed and said, "Alright, I was asking for too much. Let's streamline it further. Remove all long-range weapons and keep only mobile devices. Oh, and keep the space life support system too. Just keep those two."

Wu Pifu also knew that this was a technological creation, not the Saint Cloth he had worn before. The two could not be compared. Rather than having those half-baked high-tech weapons, he would rather discard them all and keep only the speed and life support system. In any case, as long as he was fast and agile enough, he could still fight in space.

At this moment, the silent, beautiful purple-haired woman, Zi Huan, suddenly said, "Actually, it's not impossible to make this exoskeleton armor as powerful as the adults..."

Ain immediately said sternly to Zihuan, "You cannot speak recklessly to the Creator! Do not say things you cannot do!"

"It can be done!"

Zi Huan, however, seemed somewhat stubborn. Her eyes held a blank and unfocused look, as if she were lost in her own thoughts. As she pondered, she said, "The design concept of this exoskeleton armor is based on simulated human data provided by the unified information processing center of the androids. In this data, humans are extremely weak and fragile life forms, capable of dying even from a single collision with a ground vehicle. Therefore, this exoskeleton armor is designed to allow simulated humans to fight using data from members of the Wakaba Squad. However, real humans are actually a kind of super life form..."

As Zi Huan spoke, her pupils seemed to glow, and she looked at Wu Pifu, saying, "My lord, I want all of your life essence!"

In a panic, Ain immediately said, "In the android sequence, I am far superior to you! So I should have gone first, and I have a reproductive module, plus, I also have a pleasure module, and I also have..."

Wu Pifu stared at Zi Huan, speechless, and at Ai Yin, who looked like a complete madwoman. He covered his head and said, speechless, "Zi Huan, do you mean to use my flesh and genes to create a new exoskeleton armor?"

Zi Huan nodded repeatedly, then said to Ain with dissatisfaction, "I didn't load the estrus module! Also, don't interrupt me, this is what I mean: use the flesh and blood genes of adults to purify this exoskeleton armor, replacing all the organic components of its mechanical life with the genetic flesh and blood of adults. In this way, this flesh and blood will have the strength of an adult's physical body. Of course, it will definitely not be as strong, but in this way, not only will the rejection reaction be almost non-existent, but even in battle, it can rely on the flesh and blood of adults to carry out a certain degree of repair!"

Zi Huan grew increasingly excited as she spoke, even ignoring Wu Pi Fu and Ain, directly pressing buttons on the control panel as she spoke: "That's not all! This exoskeleton armor can also change many of its performance concepts. For example, its charging method can be completely changed from being filled with thermal and light energy to being filled with the chemical energy of an adult's body. Moreover, it can reserve space for future evolution upgrade modules. If the modules for long-range weapons, ballistic weapons, etc., are removed, and only speed and defense characteristics are retained... it's amazing! This is simply a super space combat equipment designed for real humans!" Seeing Zi Huan seemingly caught up in a frenzy, Wu Pi Fu looked at Ain, who put on a helpless expression and said: "We androids have our functions determined the moment we are created, and most of the capacity of our chips is filled with information related to that function. Therefore, we will focus on and specialize in that field, but we will be indifferent to things outside of that field... Don't worry, Master, Zi Huan is actually an exception. Most of us androids are equipped with some or most of the modules related to human reproduction..."

"I didn't ask you that!"

Wu Pifu glanced at Ain speechlessly, then asked Zi Huan, "If I use my flesh and genes to create this equipment, how long will it take? Will it be ready to join the battle?"

Without looking up, Zi Huan said, "There's enough time, absolutely enough time! Don't worry, sir, the equipment can be modified within 24 hours, because the materials and modules are readily available. The only thing needed is your flesh and blood genes and life factors!"

Wu Pifu nodded, about to agree, when Ain, whose eyes seemed to turn into hearts, said, "My lord, I will collect life factors for you!"

Wu Pifu fell silent again; he had begun to consider whether it would be better to have the androids change their commander-in-chief.

However, it must be said that although Ein is a super fangirl and anime otaku, her command ability is indeed the strongest among the androids.

As Wu Pifu's specially designed exoskeleton armor began to be manufactured, all the android spaceships in space began to gather. Under Ein's command, they were divided into eight combat teams, guarding the starport space station where the headquarters was located, and began to sail towards the lunar android headquarters area.

According to the calculations on the central computer, the battle will begin in 26 hours. All the spaceships, as well as the space-based weapon space station that is assembled, and the flagship command center space station, will open a direct passage to the moon for Wu Pifu.

Once Wu Pifu lands on the moon, the ultimate goal of this operation will be achieved!
Once the exoskeleton armor was completed, it was time for the operation to begin!

Time passed second by second. All the androids' spaceships had arrived at the rendezvous point and, under Ain's command, were heading towards the moon in different waves. Other space stations followed suit, and numerous unmanned combat vehicles also began to disperse.

Then... about eight hours before the final battle, and six hours before Wu Pifu's personal exoskeleton armor was completed, an unusual change occurred on Earth.

Monitoring equipment on Earth shows that a huge mass of mechanical life forms has appeared on several continents. The largest one is located on the Asian continent. The mass is more than 3,000 meters high and more than 6,000 meters long. These things, which are made of metal and look like flesh and blood, are gradually taking shape.

"Mechanical lifeforms want to enter space!"

Looking at the changes on the continents displayed on the screen, Ain spoke seriously to Wu Pifu.

Before the androids could react, a special signal was connected to their central network.

Then five human figures, whose features were indistinct, appeared on the screen.

"The only human left, we represent the remnants of humanity from the past, and we hope to make a deal with you..."

Five humanoid figures spoke the same words in different tones and voices: "We've come to assist you in fighting the aliens on the moon and opening a passage to the moon, and in return, you give us hope of becoming human again! Is this deal... acceptable?"

Wu Pifu didn't answer immediately. After thinking for a long time, he looked up and said to the five special mechanical lifeforms, "If I refuse..."

"Will you launch an attack on the androids and me now?"

"Careful with your answers, mechanical lifeforms, for they will determine your fate!"
