Chapter 168: Borrowing Momentum

With his hands on the steering wheel of a newly purchased domestic pickup truck worth over a hundred thousand yuan, Sun Cheng hummed a little tune, in a very good mood as he drove back to the Nandu city center.

Although in the world of 【Transformers】, he had already sensed the efficiency of industrial robots from the construction speed of Base No. 2; even if they were not as good as the Decepticon Workers, they were not far off.

However, because he had not stayed by their side to witness their work process firsthand at the time, Sun Cheng's perception of this was not yet very clear.

Now in the real world, having personally supervised three industrial robots in the past few days as they carved through mountains and chiseled stone, it had actually only taken them three days to chisel out a passage in the shaded side of Huwangling that was three meters high, twelve meters deep, and wide enough for four grown men to walk side by side.

Base No. 1, established in the real world, was in Sun Cheng's future vision the place that would be his largest robot manufacturing base under his command.

Don't look at the fact that, following his proposal, Atlas and the other Decepticon Workers only designed the industrial robot, a product that could not be considered very mature, but it was still a good start.

Just imagine, the foundation of the industrial robot was actually quite good; the chassis, manufactured using special steel alloys, was far from something that ordinary firearms could easily penetrate.

At the same time, they could easily carry items weighing three to four hundred kilograms, which meant that they could still be modified—for instance, by equipping them with heavy machine guns and ammunition feeding systems, turning them into terrifying killing machines on the battlefield.

The difficulty of these modifications was almost zero; the only reason limiting Sun Cheng from carrying out military modifications to transform industrial robots into military robots was simply insufficient productivity.

Besides this, the existence of the Cybertronians in the 【Transformers】 world was also a reason why he was in no hurry to carry out military modifications on the robots.

Having personally learned from and even experienced several battles, he was very clear that these robots were nothing more than a pile of cannon fodder in front of the Decepticons and Autobots, and furthermore, they were the kind of cannon fodder that was more advanced than human soldiers.

Military robots had an overwhelming advantage against human soldiers, but in front of the mechanical life of the planet Cybertron, they were nothing; a single data intrusion could easily destroy their data centers, and even taking control of them in return would be an effortless task.

Therefore, unless Sun Cheng could solve the true core manufacturing technology that he had been unable to break through, and build intelligent robots possessing wisdom like the Decepticons, he would never be in a hurry to manufacture military robots and use them as capital to confront the Decepticons and Autobots.

This newly acquired domestic pickup truck was bought by Sun Cheng to facilitate his own transport of building materials; the diesel engine had plenty of horsepower when running, and for someone like him who had absolutely no love for sports cars but loved the Roadbuster muscle car to death, it could somewhat alleviate the restlessness in his heart.

It wasn't that he didn't have the money to buy a better, wilder muscle car; for one, it was too conspicuous, and for another, he wouldn't be staying in the real world for too long. Once he finished handling the construction matters of 'Cybertron Technology' and 'Base No. 1', Sun Cheng would soon return to the world of 【Transformers】.

The car had just driven out of Xixia District when the phone placed to the side suddenly rang.

Sun Cheng picked it up and took a look; after discovering that it was a call from Yang Fei and not Xu Chun, he pressed the Bluetooth headset on one side of his ear with slight disappointment and answered the call.

"Hello..."

"Hello, Brother Sun. I've contacted all those people you mentioned. When will you, Brother Sun, arrange for everyone to sit down and talk to them in person?"

"You've contacted them all?"

Sun Cheng was a bit surprised, a smile couldn't help but appear at the corners of his mouth. He lightly pressed the horn to remind the vehicle blocking the road ahead to move, adjusted the angle of his Bluetooth headset, thought for a moment, and replied: "I have time these two days. How about this, you contact them in a moment; if they can spare time tonight, I'll host a banquet at Tengwang Pavilion near Nanjing University of Technology and invite everyone to come out and sit for a while..."

"That works, I'll go handle it right now. I'll contact you again once it's confirmed!"

After hanging up the phone, Sun Cheng adjusted his sitting posture, leaning back against the driver's seat; it was faintly visible that his good mood now was even better than before.

As a top-tier science and engineering institution in the country, Nanjing University of Technology had almost most of its majors ranked at the forefront when looking across the nation, and Computer Science was one of them; it is estimated that looking across the country, only a few institutions like Fudan University, Peking University, and Jiangnan University of Technology could compare.

Within the Computer Science major at Nanjing University of Technology, there were many genius-like figures, some of whom had already begun to stand out before graduation; they either held multiple technical patents or had some inventive ideas, and even more talented ones had already shown their faces internationally, publishing many papers that attracted a lot of attention.

Unlike in the world of 【Transformers】, where he was saddled with the identity of a Decepticon, even if he was unwilling, when the Autobots clearly laid out their battle lines to confront him together with humans, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up to confront them head-on.

One must know, this was the real world, Sun Cheng's home turf.

In the real world, he was likewise a proud son of heaven at Nanjing University of Technology and an up-and-coming entrepreneur.

If he didn't utilize such a good identity, and instead left the entire Nanjing University of Technology, and even the human elites and wisdom of China and the whole world, unused, then he would truly be stupid to the core.

In the future, Sun Cheng would gradually break down some of the difficult problems that he and his subordinate Decepticon Workers could not solve in the 【Transformers】 world into countless small research topics and bring them to the real world to borrow human wisdom to solve them; the Cybertron Technology Company was established precisely out of this idea.

He didn't believe it; with the wisdom of billions of people, could they not solve all the problems, could it be that they couldn't even handle a single one?

The Cybertron Technology Company would focus on two major aspects in the future: hardware and software.

Hardware was easy to explain; from small things like hard drives to large things like electronic equipment, as long as it was technology he could get his hands on in the 【Transformers】 world, he would handle it at his discretion and move it to the real world.

As for the software aspect, it was exactly the opposite.

Sun Cheng prepared to borrow the wisdom of the real world, gathering human and financial resources to crack the secret of mechanical life.

Why could the 【AllSpark】 bestow life upon machines?

He still hadn't figured out why, but Sun Cheng had also realized that those things referred to as 'Life Force' by the mechanical life of the planet Cybertron were nothing more than special information similar to computer programs.

It was just that they were more magical than ordinary computer programs!

If the Cybertron Technology Company in the real world could crack the mysteries of this information, Sun Cheng believed that all the problems plaguing him would cease to exist.

By that time, although he would not have the military force of Starscream's faction, he would be able to continuously manufacture intelligent robots similar to the Decepticons to fight for him; then let's see, among the Autobots and Decepticons, who would still dare to call for his death at will?!
