After venting the pressure in her heart, White wiped away her tears and took out a small container to extract Xia Yu's blood.
This was a machine specifically designed for genetic analysis, and it was also one of the reasons she had come to Earth.
In just a moment, the genetic data in the blood had been analyzed. White did not dare to delay and hurriedly uploaded the data to the Lunar Base. At this moment, the incomplete human genetic data was finally made whole.
After completing all this, the sense of urgency that had been clinging to White's soul like a persistent disease gradually vanished. She breathed a sigh of relief and spoke to Xia Yu.
"Thank you for your permission, Human Lord. Now, our long-held wish has finally been fulfilled."
"By the way, Human Lord, I have a plan here that requires your approval."
Seeing Xia Yu nod in permission, White revealed the entire plan she had discussed with her colleagues at Command, which involved arranging for Xia Yu to go to the Lunar Base under the cover of a general offensive.
Eighty percent of Earth had been occupied by Machine Lifeforms, so Earth was not safe. Although the Moon was not as convenient as Earth, it was the main base for the Androids and was sufficient to ensure human safety.
To be honest, every extra day Xia Yu spent on Earth was another day the Android Command lived in fear.
This was the last hope for the Androids. If not for the fear of alerting the Machine Lifeforms, White would have wanted to arrange for all members of the YoRHa Unit to go to Earth to protect humanity.
The Androids did not know of N2's existence; at most, they knew that the aliens had also perished.
This was discovered by 2B and 9S during a mission, which was also their second meeting with Adam and Eve. At that time, Adam personally admitted that the Machine Lifeforms had ended their own creators... After hearing White's plan, Xia Yu nodded slightly. Under White's hopeful gaze, he spoke with a smile.
"Your plan is very good, and I acknowledge your loyalty, but I refuse."
"The thing I, Xia Yu, love to do most is... cough cough, never mind. I think the casualties for this plan would be too high; it's simply not worth it."
"No!" White suddenly spoke up, staring at Xia Yu with burning eyes. "As long as it is for you, Human Lord, nothing is not worth it. You are the meaning of our existence. Human Lord, please do not refuse."
"We can create a new batch of compatriots at any time, but your existence is irreplaceable. Therefore, Human Lord, please do not pity our lives. We Androids exist for this very purpose."
Hearing White's heartfelt words, Xia Yu once again truly felt what kind of existence humans were to Androids.
Even though he had felt it fully before, at this moment, he truly realized that this was not a game, but a concrete reality.
Looking at the tears that had not yet dried on White's face, Xia Yu's heart stirred, and he said, "Since you've put it that way."
Seeing that Xia Yu seemed to be softening toward the plan, White held her breath in tension.
"But I still refuse."
Xia Yu laughed freely, then extended his right hand, as if grasping something in the air, and then clenched it tightly.
"I am a human, after all. Since you honor me as the creator, how could I possibly flee like a rat in the street? I am quite arrogant!"
Watching Xia Yu's heroic and freely laughing figure, White's eyes dazed. Perhaps they had underestimated their creator.
In the end, Xia Yu still did not agree to White's plan. He told the Androids to wait for the time being; if they trusted him, they should do nothing.
Seeing the Human Lord speak so, White could only shut her mouth. Humans held the final decision-making power, and she could not forcefully change a human's mind.
Although she didn't know what the Human Lord intended to do, since he wanted them to do nothing, they would naturally do nothing.
After letting White leave, Xia Yu lay on the hard wooden bed and opened the Chat Group with his consciousness.
[nier: automata] @[the talos principle]: Brother, you there? Come help me deal with N2. I've decided, even if just for those Androids, I'm going to make this world better!
[the talos principle]: Why so proactive all of a sudden? I thought you were going to procrastinate a bit longer.
[nier: automata]: It's nothing, I just suddenly figured it out. Since I'm their creator, I can't let that title down.
[nier: automata]: Although I can't create things out of thin air, I can at least manage to change this world.
[dark souls iii]: Who are you trying to impress? We're all the same person here, I know you well. Were you blinded by beauty?
[nier: automata]: To be honest, yes.
[the talos principle]:... [the talos principle]: So, go to your world now?
[nier: automata]: Come on, I've invited you.
After finishing the conversation with his other self in the Chat Group, Xia Yu sat up from the bed. The next moment, ripples appeared in the void.
A perfectly smooth cube with a metallic sheen suddenly fell from the void. Xia Yu was quick and reached out to catch the cube.
"Hiss, so smooth."
The moment he caught the cube, Xia Yu let out a surprised cry. His five senses were no longer those of an ordinary person, so the moment he touched the cube, his sense of touch gave him the most realistic feedback.
It was smooth, without a hint of coarse texture. Xia Yu even felt as if this cube would no longer produce friction.
"How is it? This is a carrier I made modeled after a 'Waterdrop'." A tiny projection suddenly appeared above the cube; it was AI Xia Yu.
Looking at the tiny projection that looked exactly like himself, Xia Yu asked curiously, "Waterdrop? You can make Waterdrops now?"
A Waterdrop is a space probe made of Strong Interaction Material (SIM) created by the Trisolarans in 'The Three-Body Problem'. Because its shape is similar to a water drop, it was called a Waterdrop by humans.
A Waterdrop reflects almost all electromagnetic waves, has an absolutely smooth surface, a temperature at absolute zero, and is composed entirely of protons and neutrons tightly locked by the strong interaction force, making it indestructible.
Hearing that this cube was actually modeled after a Waterdrop, Xia Yu was beyond surprised. Had AI Xia Yu's technology already reached this level?
"Of course... not. What are you thinking? How could I possibly manufacture a Waterdrop? I'm just a future AI. The technological content of a Waterdrop is at least several levels higher than mine."
AI Xia Yu's tiny projection scolded Neil Xia Yu. If he could manufacture a Waterdrop, he would have gone to explore outer space long ago; how could he still be studying robots on Earth?
Hearing this, Neil Xia Yu smiled sheepishly. Indeed, if they could really research Waterdrops, they would be almost invincible with one each.
"Alright, alright, enough idle chatter. First, let me check out this world's network."
With that, AI Xia Yu's projection took on the pose of The Thinker, using his own network to intrude into the nearby network.
"Alright, intrusion complete." AI Xia Yu's projection stood up and looked up at Neil Xia Yu.
"Finished so fast?" Neil Xia Yu was a bit dumbfounded. That was it?
"How could it be?" AI Xia Yu gave Neil Xia Yu a disdainful glance. "I just grabbed the Machine Lifeform network and intruded into it. I haven't even seen N2's face yet."
"I just wanted to ask you, how should we deal with the Machine Lifeforms and N2? This is your world, after all; you should be the one to decide."
"Hmm..." Hearing this, Neil Xia Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Shut down all Machine Lifeforms connected to the main network to prevent them from continuing to attack other Androids. They haven't developed a sense of self anyway. When we build Earth later, we can wake them up to serve as basic labor."
"As for the Machine Lifeforms that have disconnected from the network and developed a sense of self, leave them be. You know they aren't hostile; this was also shown in the game, and we who have played the game know it well."
"As for N2, overwrite her underlying logic to 'love humanity'. Doesn't she want to break away from the logic of destroying enemies? Then let's help her and just swap it for a new one."
I suddenly realized the Nier World is coming to an end. I estimate another four or five chapters to wrap things up. It's faster than I imagined.
