Chapter 364: Autobots Attack (Part 1)

When the reply from Moscow was delivered to Sun Cheng, he was in the Severodvinsk Shipyard, busy as a bee.

Under his personal supervision, a giant object shaped like a mushroom was being strenuously hoisted by a disgruntled Scavenger, who walked slowly toward the position designated by Sun Cheng.

Calling that thing a mushroom was actually quite an apt description.

It had a massive, round, pedestal-like base with a radius of about one meter and a length of about two meters, while above it was a slender pillar about six meters long forged from an unknown metal; at the top of the long pillar was a giant, star-shaped, wheel-like disc with a radius of over two meters, and inside the disc were eight pointers of identical length, looking exceptionally strange.

This eye-catching object was soon transported by the laborer—Scavenger—to the designated position and set upright on the ground.

A team of about seven or eight industrial robots waiting there immediately surrounded the mushroom-shaped giant object as soon as it was in place, busily working on it with practiced skill.

Not far away, a Worker who had not yet replaced his body stood fawningly beside Sun Cheng; his stature, not even reaching the calf of Sun Cheng's New Body, made this Worker look more like a pet fawning over its master.

However, the words they exchanged revealed something unusual.

"Master, as you ordered, the last Dianci Fashesheqi of this set of electromagnetic equipment we designed is being installed. In a few hours at most, the Severodvinsk naval port will completely disappear from Earth..."

Sun Cheng cast his gaze past the impatient-looking Scavenger and looked at the mushroom-shaped giant object that had just been erected, nodding with satisfaction.

Letting Severodvinsk completely disappear from Earth did not mean physically destroying the city, but rather using certain means to make it vanish from the eyes peering at this far-northern naval port.

The means Sun Cheng employed was the thing before him.

This mushroom-shaped giant object that had just been erected by Scavenger was the core part of an electromagnetic device designed by Decepticon Workers—the Dianci Fashesheqi. Once assembled and operational, each Dianci Fashesheqi could release a strong electromagnetic field covering a radius of four kilometers.

Within the coverage area, except for specially treated equipment, all other electronic devices would be affected.

Of course, its primary purpose was to target threats from the sky, such as high-altitude military reconnaissance satellites from other countries, especially the military satellites of the Americans that almost surrounded Earth's outer space, as well as the brand-new hypersonic strategic reconnaissance aircraft—the Aurora—that the U. S. military had likely equipped following the SR-71 (Blackbird) reconnaissance plane.

This electromagnetic equipment designed and manufactured by the Workers was not just for defense; it was also a set of electromagnetic weapons.

When a high-altitude target was detected spying on their side, the Dianci Fashesheqi could emit a strong electromagnetic pulse to interfere with or even destroy the opponent's electronic equipment.

"Well done. After the next batch of replacement Engineers arrives, you can return to Base No. 2 with the fleet to replace your New Body!"

Sun Cheng was very satisfied with the electromagnetic Barrier that the Workers stationed at the Severodvinsk Shipyard had designed and manufactured according to his requirements in just a few days.

Electromagnetic weapons were a very practical technology. Many countries on Earth had realized their terror since the last century and spared no expense in research and development, with the United States, China, and Russia being the most deeply involved, though they were still stuck in the transition phase from theoretical verification to testing.

But for the Cybertronian civilization, electromagnetic weapons were very mature.

Cybertronians, whether Decepticons or Autobots, were Mechanical Life and were extremely susceptible to electromagnetic interference.

During the two civil wars, scientists from both the Decepticons and Autobots manufactured one electromagnetic weapon after another and threw them into the war, not only eliminating countless enemy Warriors on the battlefield, but many battlefields even became strong electromagnetic interference zones that Cybertronians could no longer approach after the war.

Sun Cheng had deployed similar equipment at Base No. 2 in Brazil, which was clearly more advanced than the one here in Severodvinsk, and could even prevent Decepticons like Brawl from transmitting communication information.

However, this was not his own territory after all, and many things had to be kept in reserve and could not be revealed, so this electromagnetic equipment, mainly used to guard against local Earth forces, was already enough.

Hearing his commendation, the Worker's ferocious, beast-like face beamed with joy.

Just as he was about to thank him, a burst of footsteps came. Seeing Sun Cheng turn his head, he had to shut his mouth; due to the angle of standing, the Worker had clearly seen who was coming.

"Master... the cargo has been loaded, and the Ghost can set off to return to the base at any time... I came over to ask if you have any other instructions?"

The person who came was indeed Trailbreaker. Compared to his miserable state a week ago, the Workers and Medical Spiders had long since repaired his original broken body.

Seeing Scavenger not far away also looking in this direction, Sun Cheng frowned slightly but did not show much else.

After thinking for a moment, he gave Trailbreaker two instructions: "This batch of cargo contains a batch of Enriched Uranium delivered by Russia, which is very important for our development. So you must be very careful on the way, and if you encounter any emergencies, you must notify me at the first opportunity. Follow the route we took before... By the way, after you return to Base No. 2, have Atlas manufacture new bodies for you and Frenzy according to the B1 Biaozhun... Also, tell him that I need a batch of more powerful combat robots, and tell them to speed up their research..."

Starscream had accidentally discovered his layout in Russia and even left a spy by his side.

Scavenger was now practically with him twenty-four hours a day. Although Sun Cheng was very unhappy about this, he was somewhat wary of Starscream and did not intend to completely give up the situation he had worked so hard to open up in Russia.

Plus, other than following him closely, Scavenger behaved honestly; any dirty or tiring work, even if reluctant, would be completed as long as Sun Cheng ordered it.

Based on the above, he reluctantly accepted having Scavenger by his side for the time being.

However, with such a spy by his side, Sun Cheng could not move as freely as he had in the past for the time being.

In the coming period, he would stay in Russia, or more accurately, stay in Severodvinsk, to promote more comprehensive cooperation with Russia as soon as possible.

Trailbreaker listened to his instructions and hurriedly agreed.

At the end, he suddenly seemed to remember something and reported to Sun Cheng in a low voice: "... By the way, Master, regarding your previous proposal, the reply from Moscow has arrived."

As he spoke, Trailbreaker suddenly reached out and pressed his head, instantly transmitting an encrypted message to Sun Cheng.

With a flash of blue light in his eyes, Sun Cheng quickly finished reading the message transmitted to him, and his eyes soon narrowed.

"It finally passed..."
