Chapter 417: Comprehensive Cooperation (Part II)

After a careful inspection, Sun Cheng finally determined that this so-called Humanoid Decepticon named "Mora Kotetier" was merely a low-quality product that had the form but lacked the substance.

It was very clear that the research Frenzy and Atlas and the others were conducting on humanoid Decepticons was still at a standstill!

No, to be more precise, they had probably only moved forward a tiny half-step.

The reason Decepticons and Autobots can be called Mechanical Lifeforms, rather than robots,

is because, just like humans who possess basic life units called cells, they also possess hundreds of millions of ultra-microscopic units within their bodies that Cybertronians call "Gears," which have extremely strong plasticity.

These "Gears," which are as small as only a few dozen nanometers, are the key to the ability of Mechanical Lifeforms to transform; it is precisely they that grant Mechanical Lifeforms infinite possibilities.

"Gears" allow Mechanical Lifeforms to scan a target object, reference the target's data in an extremely short amount of time, completely alter their own bodies to transform into the target, master all of the opponent's abilities, and even further optimize them.

The benefits are very obvious; one must know that if humans want to master a certain skill, especially one that enhances their own body, it often requires years of arduous training.

But Mechanical Lifeforms can complete this process in a very short few seconds.

It is precisely the "Gears" that grant Mechanical Lifeforms this ability; of course, it is not perfect.

Just as Mechanical Lifeforms have differences in strength and rank, the "Gears" within each Mechanical Lifeform are not exactly the same.

The vast majority of Mechanical Lifeforms only have one opportunity in their entire lives to scan an object and change themselves into that target, because once determined, the "Gears" within them are as if they have been rapidly set, solidifying during the transformation process; unless they replace their body with a new one, they can only maintain one transformation form for their entire life.

Mechanical Lifeforms, including the vast majority of Advanced Warriors, fall into this category.

It is just that Advanced Warriors clearly have quite a few more choices than Low-level Warriors; although the vast majority of Advanced Warriors can also only possess one transformation form at a time, they can, at the cost of consuming a large amount of energy, forcibly cancel their current transformation form to regain the opportunity to scan a target object and transform once again.

However, under normal circumstances, the vast majority of Advanced Warriors would not make this choice.

Because, much like a human undergoing surgery, this process of forcibly destroying the "Gears" within the body that had already been fixed in form is by no means a good experience.

Sun Cheng had experienced it once before, and after that, he had no desire to do it again.

It can only be said that he was ignorant and lucky at that time; after all, judging by the body that Barricade had manufactured for him and the Spark within him at the time, he was far from reaching the strength of an Advanced Warrior.

But perhaps it was because he had been in close contact with the 【AllSpark】 that he successfully completed the scan and changed his transformation form to a Reaper Drone.

As for how the "Gears" are actually produced, even the Decepticon Engineers cannot say.

They can manufacture all kinds of bodies, powerful Warriors, Workers capable of handling any position, and Medical Spiders sufficient to treat the vast majority of wounded soldiers.

Yet they do not possess the ability to grant life like Starscream.

The only thing Sun Cheng currently has on hand that can grant life to Decepticons are those few AllSpark Fragments he obtained in Las Vegas back then.

Base No. 2 not only needs to use it to cultivate Newborn Decepticons, but all Decepticons, including Sun Cheng, must receive an energy baptism from an "AllSpark Fragment" when changing bodies, and the more powerful the body being replaced, the longer the time required to receive the "AllSpark baptism," otherwise the basic unit known as "Gears" cannot be born within their bodies.

And without "Gears," Cybertronians can at best only be considered robots possessing intelligence.

Just now, while inspecting the body of "Mora Kotetier," Sun Cheng discovered the secret of his body.

Like the vast majority of low-level Decepticon Workers, "Mora Kotetier" also had "Gears" born within his body under the energy radiation of an "AllSpark Fragment."

But the gears within his body had already completely solidified!

In other words, "Mora Kotetier" was no different from the other Workers cultivated within the Base; he was merely a Worker who had forcibly locked his transformation form into the current state after scanning a humanoid robot.

And he was not in a humanoid form from the moment of his birth!

This method is clearly taking a shortcut, and it also cuts off the transformation potential of the Mechanical Lifeform.

However, Sun Cheng could not be called too disappointed.

Although Mola had not yet met the requirements in his heart, at least from the current perspective, he indeed needed a batch of such Decepticons to serve his own expansion strategy.

This is the same regardless of whether it is the 【Transformers Universe】 or even the real world.

After all, he is not a person from the 【Transformers Universe】 world, and he cannot be said to have any sense of identification with this world.

The reason Sun Cheng still stays here, besides the fact that he has already obtained quite a few benefits from the 【Transformers Universe】 to the point that his ambition has been hooked,

is that, driven by greed, he is frantically harvesting the technology of this world.

Not only the technology of the planet Cybertron, but also the advanced military and civilian technologies on Earth.

Of course, besides this, there is another very important reason, which is that Sun Cheng still has not figured out what exactly happened to him.

Because it is unknown, it is terrifying!

This is also one of the reasons why Sun Cheng, knowing that the 【Transformers Universe】 is very dangerous, still bites the bullet and stays here.

And in this world, he possesses the identity of Frenzy, through which he can still use various means of coercion and inducement to win over and absorb a batch of Decepticons for his own use, quickly helping himself to establish and expand his power.

But in the real world, he is at best nothing more than a most ordinary human.

His frail flesh makes Sun Cheng have no power to resist in front of Mechanical Lifeforms like Decepticons and Autobots.

Therefore, even knowing that he only needs to bring a small number of Decepticons back to the real world, his power could rapidly increase.

However, the peculiar appearance of the Decepticons dictates that once they are exposed to people, he would immediately be targeted by countries around the world.

This is also why he has been pushing the research work on humanoid Decepticons for a long time!

Some strong impulses in his head could not help but emerge, yet they were forcibly suppressed by Sun Cheng.

He knows that now is not the time to leave; there are still too many resources and technologies here waiting for him to harvest.

Moreover, the recent changes in the real world have also made Sun Cheng increasingly unable to understand what is wrong with the world.

Therefore, no matter how much he misses the real world, he must still stay here for now and do everything in his power to expand his influence and scope of control.

Thinking of this, Sun Cheng could not help but look up at the space above, toward the direction where the Moon is located.

That imminent sense of crisis made him finally unable to resist starting his own actions.

At that moment, he lowered his head to look at the two subordinates who had been quietly waiting by his side for a long time and said: "I cannot stay here for too long and will soon return to Russia... Thrust, you are responsible for all the actions of the Base in Bolivia; so, how is the cleanup going over at Tiwanaku now?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Sun Cheng looked at him with burning eyes.
