Chapter 1002: Transmission Tower

Jetfire was in a fairly good mood; he nodded and said without much ado, "Progress is even faster than we had previously anticipated!"

He looked toward Atlas, and seeing Atlas shake his head, he immediately knew that Sun Cheng had not asked Atlas on the way over just now.

Although this was only a small gesture, the attitude behind it was completely different.

This indicated that Sun Cheng truly acknowledged and respected him as the head of the 【Academy of Sciences】, rather than just wanting to extract more advanced technology from him.

Seeing that Sun Cheng was listening attentively and seemed to have developed a desire to confide, Jetfire began to introduce it to him earnestly.

"The Sky Bridge Project currently uses many theories and data that come from Cybertron's former Space Bridge technology!"

"I still have some experience in this area, so the initial push for the Sky Bridge Project has been relatively smooth; one could even say it has been smooth far beyond our expectations!"

"We originally estimated that the 10,000-kilometer transmission project would take half a year to stabilize, but after the 2,000-kilometer technology matured, it took less than four months to complete."

"Currently, we are already building a Transmission Tower at Severodvinsk Port. Once the Transmission Tower there is finished, we should be able to conduct transmission tests!"

Sun Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up!

Jetfire was preparing to build a transmission device directly to Severodvinsk Port; regardless of where he intended to place the other terminal in South America, the distance from here to North Port would be no less than 12,000-plus kilometers.

On Earth, this distance basically meant that with just a few Transmission Towers, Sun Cheng could ensure that his Decepticon Warriors could be deployed to any battlefield on Earth in a very short time when needed.

Moreover, as the transmission time extended, the scale of the troops and equipment he could rapidly transport would also increase accordingly.

This also meant that when total war broke out, the war potential of Sun Cheng and his faction would be significantly enhanced.

"How long will it take to build the Transmission Tower at North Port?"

Sun Cheng hurriedly asked.

He quickly realized his mistake, worried that Jetfire, an old-school Decepticon with a not-so-good temper, might think he was doubting his efficiency.

So Sun Cheng explained a bit more: "Please forgive me; recently, there have been repeated incidents of Decepticon Legion renegade warriors infiltrating the area where Base No. 2 is located. I have a very bad feeling that Megatron should be coming back soon."

Jetfire frowned, his expression turning solemn as well.

Over the past few months, he had learned quite a bit of intelligence regarding the Decepticon Legion and the Autobots from Sun Cheng.

Jetfire already knew the news that the Decepticon Legion commander Megatron, as well as the former Autobot Leader Sentinel Prime and the current Leader Optimus Prime, had all arrived on Earth.

He even knew that Megatron had died in battle while fighting Optimus Prime for the 【AllSpark】, his remains were first thrown by humans into a ten-thousand-meter-deep trench on Earth, but his head had been snatched back by Decepticons over a year ago.

Jetfire also knew that shortly before he woke up, Sentinel Prime had colluded with the Quintessons to open a transmission portal in Africa on Earth.

Although he was killed by the current Autobot Leader Optimus Prime shortly thereafter.

But because of Sentinel Prime's misdeeds, the Autobots who had hidden within Africa and rebuilt New Iacon on Earth were still being met with hostility and malice from humans, and their living environment was not good.

Compared to them, although his own faction—which had not yet explicitly stated its allegiance but had also never left—was currently in a much better living environment.

At the very least, in reality, they had basically already controlled the entirety of South America.

And some major human nations on Earth had temporarily acquiesced to their existence.

Jetfire had dealt with Megatron long ago and naturally knew the nature of this Tyrant.

Once Megatron returned, he believed that with his ambition and methods, he would soon restart the war against the Autobots, the traitorous-like Frenzy, and the humans of Earth.

Therefore, he knew that Frenzy had not been exaggerating.

"Some construction materials and equipment have already been shipped over in advance. Calculating the time, that batch of materials and equipment should be arriving at the destination soon. Considering the local climate, the Transmission Tower at North Port will likely be completed within forty days. Subsequent testing will also take time, and furthermore, a supporting power supply device must be built at North Port."

Sun Cheng nodded!

He knew that every transmission device utilizing Space Bridge technology was a massive energy consumer.

Previously, during the 2,000-kilometer transmission test at the Base, when both Transmission Towers were activated, the energy consumed in just under three minutes, if converted into electrical energy, would be enough for two million-scale human cities to use for over twenty days.

At the peak of the Cybertronian civilization, Space Bridge technology was an absolute piece of super black technology, and naturally, it was not something that a planet like Earth, which was still in the mid-to-late industrial civilization and had not yet entered the spacefaring civilization, could imagine.

Sun Cheng's brow quickly furrowed!

North Port was, after all, the Russians' territory; although according to the cooperation agreement signed previously, the Russians had held their noses and agreed to temporarily lend this important military port they had occupied to Sun Cheng and his people to use.

But if the Decepticons wanted to build factories or deploy various weapons at North Port at will, they would need the approval of the inspection team sent by the Russians.

Although over the past few years, because the Russians had needs, the management had been relatively loose.

But with the rise of Russian national power in recent years, they had also begun to become somewhat restless.

It was not difficult to build a Transmission Tower at North Port; after all, it was hard for Russian scientists to understand a Transmission Tower.

Sun Cheng could deceive the other party for a while, but this thing would not remain hidden forever; the Russians would know its purpose sooner or later.

And once they knew its purpose, whether the other party would still agree to let them build it at North Port was another question.

To power a Transmission Tower at North Port, an ordinary power supply device obviously would not suffice.

Here at Base No. 2, after several years of development, the relevant technology for nuclear power plants was already very mature; if divided according to Earth's technological iterations, it should have reached the seventh or eighth generation, being not only smaller but also having higher power generation efficiency.

Severodvinsk military port was different from South America, which was already completely controlled by Sun Cheng and his people, and it had more varied terrain; by utilizing certain techniques, it was entirely possible to hide some small nuclear power plants well among the mountains.

But that wouldn't work at North Port!

Sun Cheng thought earnestly for a while before his brow finally relaxed.

"Your Excellency, regarding the Transmission Tower, I still need you to push it forward as quickly as possible. Just tell me what you need, and I will handle the rest."

North Port could radiate across most of the Arctic Circle and simultaneously serve as a rapid forward position to Europe and the Siberia region.

Deploying a Transmission Tower there was indeed necessary.

As for Moscow, Sun Cheng felt he needed to have a good talk with that new Tsar who was currently hiding behind the scenes and accumulating power.

Apologies, I have to visit some elders in my hometown before the rain and snow arrive these next few days; I haven't had time to touch a computer for several days, please forgive me.
