Chapter 141: Transaction (Seeking Subscriptions)

Walking to the side of the spaceship in two steps, Sun Cheng lowered his head and fumbled for a while at the unclosed hatch before quickly finding an interface.

Extending a finger, he transformed the tip into a long, thin metal joint and inserted it into the interface; within Sun Cheng's Core, a large number of strange runes immediately began to emerge.

In the parallel universe of the 【Predator】, the Hunter Civilization must surely have a very deep connection with the Earth civilization of that universe.

Previously, Hanjiji and Fuchou had both mentioned to him that among the information read from the Hunter's equipment, many characters could find similarities or even identical matches in the languages and scripts left behind by the ancient Egyptian, ancient Cambodian, and Aztecs Civilization on Earth.

This is also the reason why Fuchou and Hanjiji, two of the lowest-level Decepticons, were able to crack the auxiliary device obtained from the Ghost in such a short time.

Because of the fusion, the real world might have inherited the relationship between Earth and the Hunter Civilization from the 【Predator】 parallel universe, but this world clearly could not have; Sun Cheng had already investigated Megatron and the 【AllSpark】 long ago and determined that it was the Cybertronians who influenced the ancient Earth civilization of this world.

However, although he could not find ancient texts in this world that could assist him in cracking the Hunter Civilization's characters, this did not stump him.

After two upgrades by the 【AllSpark】, his current Core capabilities were already incomparable to when he first transmigrated.

Performing tens of trillions of floating-point operations per second was nothing but a small case for the Core inside Sun Cheng's body; he immediately adopted the simplest and most brutal cracking method, directly copying all the information from the electronic equipment inside the spaceship into his own Core, and then repeatedly substituting and deliberating on it word by word and line by line.

Two days later, as the last set of characters was replaced by him with Chinese, Sun Cheng finally let out a long breath.

Done!

Withdrawing his finger, the joint extended from his fingertip was quickly retracted into his body, and he looked at the spaceship in front of him with a faint smile on his face.

"A nice harvest..."

When he was in the real world, Sun Cheng had felt that this spaceship would be a nice harvest. Now, after thoroughly understanding its detailed data and taking another look, it was indeed a great benefit even from the perspective of his current Decepticon knowledge and vision.

Cybertron had also manufactured a large number of outer space spacecraft long ago, probably during the Council of Ancients period, but as for the technical content used and whether it could compare to the Hunter Civilization, Sun Cheng had no way to give an evaluation since he had never come into contact with Cybertron's outer space spacecraft.

However, from his own perspective, Cybertron was far inferior to the Hunter Civilization in this regard.

It was not that he looked down on Cybertron's technology, but from the history of Cybertron's development that Sun Cheng had compiled, both Decepticons and Autobots belonged to Mechanical Life; their body strength far exceeded that of humans and Hunters, and high-level Mechanical Life could rely on their powerful bodies to cross galaxies for long-distance voyages, so they did not invest much in the technology tree of outer space spacecraft.

However, both the Memory Chip of Blackout and Jazz contained vague records mentioning the existence of large spacecraft within both races, though the details were unclear.

From this, it can be seen that the Decepticons and Autobots had not failed to develop large outer space spacecraft; it was just unclear whether the secrecy level was too high or they simply did not value them, so not much information leaked out.

Leaving these aside for now, this Hunter spaceship was truly a great benefit to Sun Cheng.

The propulsion system of this special operations spaceship was breathtaking; although it was too bulky and his own Spark could not afford the consumption of such a propulsion system, which kept him from having the idea of copying a set to install on himself.

However, this system still gave him quite a bit of inspiration.

Sun Cheng had an idea that if he borrowed from the spaceship's propulsion system to make some adjustments and changes to his own, perhaps his speed would have a leap-forward improvement.

Only...

As soon as this thought emerged, Sun Cheng frowned, quickly shook his head, and suppressed it back down.

Not enough manpower!

Still this problem!

Regarding propulsion and body modification, he himself had only just come into contact with them; the theories and techniques he currently mastered were very limited, and even making some surface adjustments to his own body required relying on Atlas. From this, it can be seen that he was currently too lacking in industrial-type and medical-type Cannon Fodder Decepticons.

The shortage of manpower meant that although he had a pile of creative ideas, plans, and thoughts, he could only take them one by one and work on them slowly.

Especially for plans like modifying the Hunter spaceship and improving his own body's propulsion system, it was far from something one Atlas could handle!

"It seems I have to find a way to get some more Decepticon grunts..."

After this thought emerged, Sun Cheng noted it down very firmly; expanding his team, or rather his subordinate Decepticons, was already an urgent matter.

It was just that how to expand his team stumped him again!

Wanting to manufacture Cannon Fodder Decepticons himself was not an easy task!

Since arriving on Earth, the number of Workers Sun Cheng had seen in his Base was only a dozen or twenty; even an old-school Decepticon like him did not have many in his hands, which shows how rare they are.

Since manufacturing them himself was a dead end, he could only rely on outside help!

On Earth, the only outside help Sun Cheng could think of were three people: Brawl, Soundwave, and Starscream.

Soundwave could be ruled out first; this guy had been tricked by him once before and was now forced into hibernation, and that guy probably wouldn't be willing to give him any anyway.

As for Starscream!

Sun Cheng frowned slightly and immediately dismissed the thought that had just emerged.

He was willing to fawn over a dictator and pledge loyalty to a tyrant, but if the other party was a lunatic and conspirator who could not be understood at all, that was a different matter.

Starscream's impression on Sun Cheng was too deep; if he could, he wouldn't even want to see Starscream for a single second!

After such elimination, Sun Cheng smiled bitterly and realized that after going in a circle, the only choice left who could help him now was Brawl.

After thinking it over and repeatedly deliberating on what he had in his possession that could arouse the other party's interest, while also being acceptable for a trade.

Only then did he take the initiative to send a remote communication to the other party, the content of which was very brief: "I have the Memory Chip of the Autobot—Jazz, are you interested?"

1. The subscription numbers are miserable. I kneel and beg brothers who are capable to go to Qidian and support the genuine version. A month's subscription won't cost more than the price of a pack of cigarettes; you guys are just smoking one less cigarette a day!

2. This is the second chapter, I am still rushing it. If there are any typos in the article, I can only correct them when I have time during the day.
