Chapter 231: The Change in Brazil (Seeking Subscriptions)

Sun Cheng nodded slightly, which counted as a reply to Frenzy.

Seeing that Pioneer was not there, he immediately sent a communication to Pioneer.

Not long after, he moved like a cheetah, quickly returning to the Underground Karst Cave from a hidden path inside the Base.

"Master, you have returned!"

Pioneer was very perceptive; seeing that all the Decepticons in Base No. 2 were gathered here, how could he not know that he must have had further instructions.

After respectfully greeting him, he stood in the queue and came to a stop beside Frenzy.

"Very good, since everyone is here, I am now going to announce something..."

Sun Cheng could not hide the smile on his face, "Not long ago, I made a deal with humans. The deal was very successful, and in a few days, a steady stream of resources will be sent over..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the dozen or so Decepticons under his command one by one, only to find that these Decepticons had no emotional fluctuations regarding this.

Occasionally, what could be seen were actually some doubts and confusion!

Sun Cheng frowned slightly, but the next moment he realized why.

That was it!

These Decepticons were not the same as him; they were the purest Mechanical Life, and even the lowest-level Workers maintained a contempt for humans, this type of carbon-based life.

After quickly realizing this, Sun Cheng felt a bit restless; to this day, he was still trying to figure out how to make these Decepticons under his command remain loyal to him—who possessed a human body—while retaining their intelligence.

It seemed that this road was long and arduous.

He dismissed the thought in a flash; since the Decepticons under his command had no reaction to the cooperation between him and humans, Sun Cheng simply downplayed this point and turned to look at Pioneer and Frenzy.

His gaze lingered on the two of them for a good while before finally landing on Pioneer.

"Pioneer, prepare yourself and hand over the base's defense to Frenzy. In two days, I need you to go to the human world to be stationed for a period of time, to protect the safety of our Workers and industrial robots..."

"Yes, Master!"

According to the agreement he reached with President Vladimir during his trip to Russia five days ago, in a few days, Russia would provide Sun Cheng with the first batch of a total of five thousand tons of various finished metals, rare earths, and Enriched Uranium.

Sun Cheng also needed to keep his promise; as a condition of the exchange, he would provide Russia with at least ten Five-axis Linkage CNC Machine Tools on that day, as well as other equipment used for the modification of Russian Nuclear submarines.

Seeing that Pioneer had agreed, he nodded slightly.

His gaze fell on Atlas again, and Sun Cheng signaled to him: "Atlas, come here..."

"Do you have any new instructions? Master?"

Atlas hurried over and asked with a bow.

"Raise your head..."

Sun Cheng commanded, and after seeing him raise his head, two beams of light immediately shot out from his eyes and quickly submerged into Atlas's Core, at which point he instructed: "Have your people produce these pieces of equipment according to the design and requirements as soon as possible!"

"I will go arrange it right away, Master..."

Atlas shook his head, and after digesting the data he had transmitted, he immediately understood what he had asked him to arrange for manufacture.

He immediately summoned a Decepticon Worker from the Worker queue, copied the data Sun Cheng had just transmitted to him, transmitted it to that Worker, and instructed him to take a team of industrial robots to manufacture it.

Sun Cheng watched him finish all this before asking: "In the days since I left, how many industrial robots have been manufactured in the base?"

"Materials were not very sufficient, only 37 new industrial robots were manufactured!" Atlas replied.

"Materials were not very sufficient?"

Sun Cheng frowned deeply, his face looking somewhat unpleasant as he looked at him and asked, "What is the situation?"

Atlas hurriedly shook his head and replied: "Master, we are not clear either. The materials have always been purchased by humans you arranged and sent to the designated location, but since the last batch of materials was sent three days ago, there has been no news from that side, and we don't know what the situation is!"

Hearing this, Sun Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Regarding the construction of Base No. 2, except for the main equipment which he personally contacted humans to purchase and smuggle in through channels like the Black Market, he had stopped being responsible for basic material procurement several months ago; he only listed a procurement list and sent it to the group of humans he had developed within Brazil, letting them procure the items and send them to a plantation he had purchased in his private name near the Amambai Mountains.

After the items were sent to the plantation, the base would arrange for industrial robots to transport them over.

"Could it be that those insiders of mine at the military trade company have been exposed?"

With thoughts in his mind, he did not make things difficult for Atlas, nodding slightly to indicate that he knew; he would handle this matter personally later.

"How many Combat Robots were manufactured? Has the production line design been completed?"

"The production line design has been completed; after going into production, one production line can manufacture three Combat Robots per day. However, also because of the lack of materials, we have only manufactured six new Combat Robots recently; there are no more than that!"

Is it a lack of materials again?

Sun Cheng's brow furrowed again; it was clear that the procurement line he had established in Brazil must have had a problem.

Aside from copper mines, mineral resources near Base No. 2 were not abundant.

As a result, once a flaw appeared in the procurement line he established in Brazil, it immediately affected the production situation of Base No. 2.

"It looks like I must go take a look at the situation as soon as possible!"

Having made the decision in his heart, Sun Cheng had made up his mind that after arranging all the tasks later, he would go out to deal with the problem in Brazil.

If it were only affected by personal problems, that would be fine!

If they were really targeted by United States intelligence agencies, and then followed the trail to find him here, he would have to curse.

After all, Base No. 1 could be abandoned if it had to be; after all, it was within the United States and was in danger of being captured at any time.

But Base No. 2 was located in South America; not only were the geographical conditions better, but the effort he had spent here had long since far exceeded that of Base No. 1 in Saguache County, Colorado.

If they were really targeted by the Americans, they wouldn't even need to mobilize a large army.

They would only need to arrange for a few Autobots to come knocking; to be honest, Sideswipe alone would have a high probability of being able to steamroll them.

At that moment, Sun Cheng suddenly felt a bit more nervous.

After he hurriedly gave instructions on the things that needed to be done recently, he did not stay in Base No. 2 for long; after returning to his private Laboratory once, he quickly left Base No. 2 and flew toward the east coast of Brazil.
