Chapter 230: The Mysterious Earth (Seeking Subscriptions)

On the thin metal plate named "Memory Plate," the recording soon came to an end, following the clearly visible anticipation in the eyes of the Beast General.

After the audio content finished, he silently held the Memory Plate. A moment later, his chest suddenly writhed and split open, revealing a not-so-large space, and Sun Cheng casually stuffed the "Memory Plate" inside!

He no longer needed to rewatch the footage left behind by the Beast General!

The eidetic learning ability of a mechanical lifeform allowed him to remember every frame of the content clearly from his previous viewing.

And now, he needed some time to carefully analyze this unexpected harvest.

Glancing at the metal cabinet on the stone pedestal, this thing was already useless to him.

However, after a moment's thought, Sun Cheng waved his hand and stored it into the Spherical Space. Although this cabinet had not directly withstood his Plasma Cannon, seeing that it had not been damaged in the previous bombardment, Sun Cheng was still somewhat interested in its material composition.

"Let's go..."

He issued a gathering order to the seven Combat Robots that had been standing quietly on guard nearby, and he also stored these Combat Robots back into the Spherical Space.

Compared to himself, their movement speed was still too slow. Seeing that there were only a few days left before the first delivery deadline with Russia, Sun Cheng needed to return to his Base No. 2 in Brazil as soon as possible to extract a batch of industrial robots from there.

As long as the first transaction with Russia could be completed smoothly, a steady stream of resources would enter his pocket.

Sun Cheng's influence in this world would also begin to grow explosively as a result.

Speeding along the way, it didn't take long before he returned to the Ghost, which was still anchored in the Bay of Bengal. After ordering Hephaestus to return to the South Pacific, he entered his private lounge on the Ghost and began to calmly analyze the harvest he had obtained from the audio left by the Beast General.

"The thirteen Primes were born before the Ancient Council; they should all be Prime-level mechanical lifeforms..."

"Currently, I can confirm the identities of nine Primes: Megatronus, Prima, Solus Prime, Maxim, Micronus Prime, Alchemist Prime, Quintus Prime, and the Thirteen Primes..."

"Among the nine Primes, Solus Prime is dead, Maxim and Megatronus are missing, and Prima, Micronus Prime, Alchemist Prime, Quintus Prime, and the Thirteen Primes are suspected to have died in battle..."

"Then, who exactly is The Fallen? Megatronus? Or perhaps Maxim? Is Prima dead? And where is the Tomb of the Primes?"

This was the first time Sun Cheng had heard the names of eight of the thirteen Primes, though he had heard of the name Maxim before.

Blackout's Memory Data contained some information about him; it is said that Shockwave once excavated a workshop left behind by Maxim on the planet Cybertron.

It seems that even if that workshop was not the place where Maxim used to build his savage mechanical beasts back then, it was certainly not ordinary.

Otherwise, without the technology he left behind, even a great Scientist like Shockwave would have found it difficult to open the door to the field of life creation and create mechanical lifeforms like the Decepticon Workers, which seem unremarkable but are very practical.

Now, what worried Sun Cheng most was not the identity of The Fallen, but the Earth, which had become even more shrouded in mystery.

From a long time ago, even before he knew about The Fallen and the thirteen Primes, he had already developed many doubts.

Since ancient times, countless mechanical lifeforms have crossed the galaxy from the distant planet Cybertron to arrive on Earth.

Such an unremarkable planet, separated from Cybertron by almost half the galaxy, is located in the most remote corner of the galaxy.

But why did so many mechanical lifeforms keep coming to Earth?

The "Memory Plate" left by the Beast General undoubtedly deepened Sun Cheng's suspicions!

Why did Maxim lead Megatronus and the others to Earth?

Did the thirteen Primes really choose to fight each other just to protect life on Earth, ultimately sacrificing themselves, just to seal the Matrix of Leadership so that Megatronus could not obtain it to activate the machine he built to destroy the Sun?

The Matrix of Leadership is on Earth, and the AllSpark also came to Earth!

Even according to the records in the footage left by the Beast General, he had one last journey before his energy was about to run out.

Judging by the fact that his energy was about to be exhausted at that time, the Beast General's journey must have still been on Earth.

Then, another mystery that puzzled Sun Cheng appeared!

What exactly did the Beast General find on his final journey?

What kind of thing could make Primes, who were like Primes, dream of it?

Was it a divine artifact or something else precious?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Countless mysteries kept emerging in Sun Cheng's mind, eventually converging into a problem that puzzled him the most.

Why Earth?

Unfortunately, no matter how much he racked his brains, he suffered from having too few clues. By the time Hephaestus came to report that the Ghost had arrived in the South Pacific, he still hadn't sorted out a general line of thought!

With a helpless sigh, Sun Cheng left the Ghost with some regret and flew straight to Base No. 2 in Brazil.

"Stop thinking about these for now? Earth might not be as simple as I thought, but right now I really don't have the energy to spare to study this matter... I can only continue to investigate after the New Body is completed and the transactions and cooperation with China and Russia are on the right track!"

Finally, as he entered the Amambai Mountains and was about to return to Base No. 2, Sun Cheng finally made a decision in his heart.

He immediately cast aside those distracting thoughts, quickly arrived at the Underground Karst Cave where Base No. 2 was located, and issued a gathering order to everyone.

"I'm back. Everyone, gather at the Main Hall immediately. I have orders to issue..."

After quickly issuing the gathering order to all the Decepticons in the base, Sun Cheng ignored the dust of the journey and, after entering the Underground Karst Cave, immediately rushed to the Main Hall.

Soon, when he arrived at the Main Hall, except for the Pioneer who was not always in the base, all the Decepticons in Base No. 2 stopped their work and gathered in the Main Hall of the base.

"Master, you're back!"

Seeing Sun Cheng return, Frenzy hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully fawned over him.

He and the Pioneer were currently the highest-ranking Decepticons under Sun Cheng, and because they were both combat units, Atlas had been with him longer, but his status was far inferior to Frenzy's.

Therefore, after the Pioneer took over the outer perimeter security work of the entire Base No. 2, Frenzy, although a newly born Decepticon, won his favor without hesitation. When Sun Cheng was not at home, he was responsible for the defense of the entire base.
