Chapter 521: The Lunar Operation!

The efficiency of the androids was far beyond what humans could imagine. Although they possessed parts of human souls and the characteristics of sentient life, strictly speaking, they were still a type of robot. Once the next step was determined, there was absolutely no shirking or internal friction; instead, all the androids united as one to achieve that goal.

Since the decision to fight on the moon had been made, under the coordination of the General Command, all the androids in space began to converge. This meant a total abandonment of the monitoring of mechanical lifeforms on Earth. All existing android military forces were concentrated, totaling sixty-one spaceships. If auxiliary attack craft were included, the number could exceed one thousand sorties.

While the androids were gathering, Su Xing was finally seen through completely by these infatuated men and women. In order to manufacture the most suitable exoskeleton battle suit for him, every inch of skin on his body had truly been seen.

However, as long as they weren't actually trying to sleep with him, let them look. Su Xing didn't care. Anyway, his current body was just a disguise by the Main Brain—a dead-eyed little brat, what was there to look at?

He was, instead, very interested in the androids' exoskeleton armor technology.

This exoskeleton armor was not a purely mechanical creation, but a semi-mechanical, semi-biological creation mixed with mechanical lifeforms. It was a type of semi-organic matter, possessing not only the precision of mechanical structures but also the self-repair and self-evolution functions of living organisms.

All members of the Young Leaf Unit had similar equipment, but they were only equipped with weapons, not exoskeleton armor. The manufacturing of such things was extremely cumbersome and required obtaining key materials from special individuals among the mechanical lifeforms. It was very precious, and only Su Xing, as the sole human, was qualified to obtain the full, complete version of the exoskeleton armor.

"This exoskeleton armor is a personal custom product for you, my lord. Because your genetic map information is added during manufacturing, only you can activate it. And when not in use, it will change its appearance. Its metal parts will condense on their own; you can choose to display it as a bracelet, pocket watch, brooch, etc., or add metal decorations to your clothing. Its flesh and blood parts will merge into the inner layer of your skin. From the outside, it is completely impossible to tell that it is exoskeleton armor."

A long-legged, purple-haired beauty was explaining the various data and information of this exoskeleton armor to Su Xing. As she spoke, a large number of display screens appeared out of thin air, listing the data information of the exoskeleton armor.

Regarding these high-tech gadgets, Su Xing was naturally completely in the dark. However, he could at least understand the data. He frowned immediately and said, "The conventional flight speed in the atmosphere is 2,800 meters per second? Only by exerting full power, and only when exerting speed in one direction, can it reach about 8,000 meters per second, and then break away from the planet's surface? This conventional speed isn't even as good as my physical body. And I don't understand the impact resistance; I don't recognize these numbers. Tell me directly, what level of attack can this exoskeleton armor withstand? Can it withstand a nuclear bomb?"

This purple-haired beauty immediately looked embarrassed. She stammered, "Theoretically speaking, the close-range explosion temperature of a nuclear weapon is, uh, too high, and the shockwave, electromagnetic field, and also... currently, there is no conventional individual defensive gear that can, uh, can..."

Su Xing said with dissatisfaction, "Then what use is this exoskeleton armor to me? This thing doesn't even compare to my physical defense; wearing it just feels like a burden. How about this: remove all functions of this exoskeleton armor except for movement, keep only the defense, and then increase its defense. If it can't exceed my physical body's strength, at least it should be able to withstand a nuclear bomb, right?"

The purple-haired beauty was dumbfounded, completely unable to speak.

Ai Yin, standing to the side, smiled bitterly and tried to smooth things over for the purple-haired beauty: "My lord, we really cannot fulfill this request of yours. Just as Ms. Zi Huan said, currently there is 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 only the creations of your people. You cannot demand that the creation surpass the creator."

Su Xing sighed and said, "Fine, it's my request that was too much. Then simplify it, simplify it further. Remove all long-range weapons, keep only the movement equipment. Oh, and keep the space life-support system. Just keep those two."

Su Xing also knew that this was a technological creation, not the holy armor he had once worn; the two could not be mentioned in the same breath. Rather than wanting those half-baked high-tech weapons, it was better to discard them all and keep only the speed and life-support system. Anyway, as long as he was fast and flexible enough, he could still fight in outer space.

At this moment, the silent purple-haired beauty, Zi Huan, suddenly said, "Actually, it's not impossible to make this exoskeleton armor as strong as you, my lord..."

Ai Yin immediately said sternly to Zi Huan, "Do not speak recklessly to the creator! Do not say things that cannot be done!"

"It can be done!"

Zi Huan appeared somewhat stubborn. Her eyes held a bit of confusion and detachment, as if she had fallen into her own thoughts. She spoke while thinking, "The design concept of this exoskeleton armor was simulated according to the false human data provided by the androids' unified information processing hub. In that data, humans are very weak and fragile lifeforms, who might even die from being hit by a ground vehicle. Therefore, this exoskeleton armor was designed for false humans to fight using the data of Young Leaf Unit members. But real humans are actually super lifeforms..."

As Zi Huan spoke, her pupils seemed to be glowing. She looked at Su Xing and said, "My lord, I want your life factors, all of them!"

Ai Yin became anxious and immediately said, "In the android sequence, I am far higher than you! So it should be me first. Besides, I have a procreation module, and also, I have loaded a romantic module, and I have..."

Su Xing looked at Zi Huan, who was again dumbfounded, and Ai Yin, who had the look of a super infatuated woman. He covered his head and said speechlessly, "Zi Huan, do you mean to say you want to use my flesh and blood genes to manufacture a new exoskeleton armor?"

Zi Huan nodded repeatedly, and then she said to Ai Yin with dissatisfaction, "I did not load a mating module! Also, don't interrupt me. That is exactly what I mean: use the lord's flesh and blood genes to purify this piece of exoskeleton armor, replacing all the organic components of the mechanical life with the lord's genetic flesh and blood. In this way, this flesh and blood will exhibit the strength of the lord's physical body. Of course, it certainly won't compare, but this way, not only will the rejection reaction be almost non-existent, but even during battle, it can rely on the lord's flesh and blood to perform a certain degree of repair!"

Zi Huan became more and more excited as she spoke. She even pushed aside Su Xing and Ai Yin, pressing buttons on the console, saying as she pressed, "It's not just that. This exoskeleton armor can also change many of its performance concepts. For example, its charging method can be completely changed from thermal and light energy filling to the lord's body chemical energy. And it can also reserve upgrade module space for future evolution. If the long-range weapons, live ammunition modules, etc., are removed, and only the speed and defense characteristics are kept... It's too great! This is simply super space combat equipment built for a real human!"

Seeing Zi Huan, who seemed to have fallen into a frenzy, Su Xing looked at Ai Yin. Ai Yin put on a helpless expression and said, "We androids have our functions decided the moment we are manufactured, and most of our chip capacity is loaded with information related to that function. Therefore, we are focused and specialized in that field, but we are indifferent to things outside that field... Don't worry, my lord, Zi Huan is actually a special case. Most of us androids are loaded with some or most of the modules regarding human reproduction..."

"I didn't ask you about that!"

Su Xing glanced at Ai Yin speechlessly. He asked Zi Huan, "If I use my flesh and blood genes to manufacture this equipment, how long will it take? Will there be enough time to participate in the battle?"

Zi Huan said without raising her head, "There is time, plenty of time! Don't worry, my lord, the equipment can be modified within twenty-four hours because the materials and modules are all ready-made. The only thing needed is the lord's flesh and blood genes, the life factors!"

Su Xing nodded and was about to agree when Ai Yin, beside him, already had eyes that seemed to have turned into peach hearts, saying, "My lord, let me collect the life factors for you!"

Su Xing fell silent again. He had already begun to consider whether it would be better to have the androids change to a new commander-in-chief.

However, it had to be said that although Ai Yin was a super infatuated woman and a two-dimensional otaku, her command ability was indeed the strongest among the androids.

As Su Xing's custom exoskeleton armor began to be manufactured, all the android spaceships in space began to gather. Then, under Ai Yin's command, they were divided into eight combat teams, guarding the spaceport space station where the General Command was located, and began to sail toward the android headquarters area on the moon.

According to the projected data on the central computer, the battle would unfold in twenty-six hours. All the spaceships, as well as the gathered space-based weapon space stations, and the General Command space station serving as the flagship, would open up a path directly to the moon for Su Xing.

Once Su Xing descended onto the moon, the final goal of this operation would be achieved!

When the exoskeleton armor was finished, that would be the moment this operation unfolded!

Time passed second by second. All the androids' spaceships had arrived at the gathering point and, under Ai Yin's orders, sailed toward the moon in different waves. Other space stations also followed, and at the same time, numerous unmanned combat devices began to spread out.

Then... about eight hours before the main operation, and six hours before Su Xing's personal exoskeleton armor was finished, an abnormal change appeared on Earth.

Through the monitoring equipment of Earth, it could be seen that on several continents of Earth, a huge gathering of mechanical lifeforms had appeared. The largest one was located on the Asian continent, with the gathering being over 3,000 meters high and 6,000 meters long. These things, which carried metallic materials and also seemed like flesh and blood, were gradually taking shape.

"The mechanical lifeforms want to enter space!"

Ai Yin looked at the changes on the continents on the screen and said to Su Xing seriously.

Then, before the androids could react, a special signal connected to the androids' central network.

Then, five humanoid figures that could not be clearly seen appeared on the screen.

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

The five humanoid figures said the same words in different tones and voices: "We will assist you in fighting the alien lifeforms on the moon and open up a path to the moon, and you will give back to us the hope of becoming human! Is this deal... acceptable?"

Su Xing did not answer immediately. After thinking for a long time, he said to these five special mechanical lifeforms, "If I refuse..."

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

"Be careful with your answer, mechanical lifeforms. This will determine your survival!"
