Chapter 422: Underground Pyramid 2

The tunnel where Sun Cheng and the others are currently located is partially composed of man-made passages left behind by the ancients.

Although the excavation robots just performed some destructive digging, one can still vaguely see traces of the passages previously excavated by humans within the tunnel where Sun Cheng and the others are now.

The most obvious of these are the fragments of broken murals that can be seen everywhere in the tunnel.

After hearing Mola finish speaking, his heart could not help but stir.

Sun Cheng has a very serious hoarding habit; after coming to this world, even knowing that many of the things he collects will not be used in the future.

But he still relies on the uniqueness of mechanical life to occasionally transform into a hacker, connecting to the internet created by humans to wantonly collect everything he can find on the internet in this world, from various academic papers to the electronic libraries of prestigious universities; he can easily crack various restrictions and copy away everything that has been artificially shelved or gated.

He does not know much about the ancient Indians and the ancient Indian civilization, but he does have a basic understanding.

The ancient Indians who lived on the Americas continent once created an unprecedentedly brilliant civilization, among which the Maya Civilization, the Aztecs Civilization, and the Inca Civilization are the most famous.

Sun Cheng vaguely remembers that among these three major civilizations, the Maya Civilization that rose in Central and South America seems to be the earliest ancient Indian civilization to be born, while the Aztecs Civilization and the Inca Civilization are slightly later than it.

It is actually not far from Central America to Bolivia, so it is strange to find Maya Script in an underground ruin here, but it seems to make sense.

Thinking of this, his mind suddenly became active.

Looking across Cybertron, apart from some Leaders who existed before the First Civil War, perhaps only those legendary Pathfinders would know how to interpret the Elder Script.

In any case, neither Sun Cheng nor the Decepticons under his command can interpret this thing.

But if it were changed to Maya Script, it would be different; the Maya Civilization has been studied by Western academia for over a hundred years since modern times, and although it cannot be said that the Maya Script has been completely cracked now, even what humans have already interpreted cannot be guaranteed to be correct.

But this is a shortcut after all!

Sun Cheng believes that if the ancient Indians had truly come into contact with a Pathfinder, then he might really be able to learn something from the murals in this Underground Pyramid.

At that moment, he could not help but look at the broken mural fragments in the tunnel; although these things were destroyed by the excavation robots not long ago, this could not stump Sun Cheng.

Previously, Sprint had controlled the excavation robots to scan the artificial tunnel they fell into, and he has a complete video record of it.

Once he thought of this, he immediately contacted Sprint, who was on guard outside the tunnel: "Sprint, send me a copy of the recorded video of the underground passage that the excavation robot just filmed!"

"Yes, my master!"

Although Sprint did not know what he wanted this for, he still sent it over immediately.

After Sun Cheng received that video record, he only browsed it briefly before looking at Mola: "Can you interpret Maya Script?"

"I can!"

Mola answered very decisively, and could even be said to be eager to try.

"My Core stores all the information about the ancient Indians that the Base could collect, and that includes Maya Script!"

The cracking of ancient scripts has always been a major difficulty for humans; modern people who want to interpret ancient scripts, especially lost hieroglyphs, can basically only rely on comparing a large number of collected murals, steles, and sacrificial texts engraved with ancient scripts, and then guess.

The advantage of doing this is that there is a considerable probability of guessing a meaning that is relatively close, but the disadvantage is that the probability of error is also very high.

Sun Cheng can even assert that among the interpretations of ancient scripts mastered by scientific research and archaeological personnel in all countries on Earth today, there cannot be any that are completely correct.

But he is not a scholar, nor does he want a completely correct answer.

All he wants is a relatively close hint, and Mola can fully achieve this, because they are Decepticons, and the Core within them is an information processor with an operating speed far exceeding all supercomputers in the current world; if Mola can obtain enough information, relying on his own supercomputing ability to constantly compare and arrange, there is a considerable probability of obtaining a relatively close answer.

At that moment, having received the other party's affirmative answer, Sun Cheng no longer had any hesitation.

He struggled to adjust his body in the not-so-spacious tunnel, and after turning to face Mola, he extended a finger and pointed it at the other party's head.

Mola did not resist, and a stream of information quickly shot out from Sun Cheng's fingertip, rudely breaking into his Core.

The red light in Mola's eyes dimmed for a moment, as if a human had been struck by a blunt object, and he subconsciously shook his head.

After a good while, he replied: "There are many murals, some have been destroyed... but I should be able to try to interpret them... Master, please wait a moment..."

"Hmm!"

This wait lasted for a full dozen minutes or so.

Perhaps because the Core was performing overloaded calculations to deduce the meaning of those murals and the Maya Script appearing in this underground ruin, white mist soon began to appear on Mola's head.

That is a situation that only occurs when the Core temperature is too high!

Sun Cheng waited patiently; although he did not have much time, he still had a little.

This time he found an opportunity to pretend to be angry and temporarily escape the surveillance of the excavator.

But that does not mean Sun Cheng is ready to show his cards to Starscream, so he can stay outside for a few days at most, and will still have to return to Russia soon.

This can also be considered his attempt; he used his operations in Severodvinsk to gamble against Starscream.

If Starscream was only testing before and had not figured out his bottom line, then his operations in Severodvinsk are safe for at least a few days.

With that guy's insidiousness and suspicion, I believe he should also know how complicated the situation on Earth is now, and should be eager to hide behind The Fallen and sit back and watch others go up to fight first.

But if his hard work in Severodvinsk is destroyed by the other party, Sun Cheng will not feel too distressed.

Because if it really reached that point, there is no doubt that Starscream's murderous intent has arisen, and with the other party's insidiousness, I am afraid that he, who is currently still in the dark, will be exposed to the public immediately.

By then, even if Megatron does not make a move, Soundwave would probably be happy to come and have a heart-to-heart talk with him!

A "pfft" sound, like leather leaking air, rang out, immediately pulling Sun Cheng's attention back.

He followed the sound and saw that for some reason, Mola, whose artificial skin on his neck had a huge tear, looked at him with a somewhat distorted expression, his voice full of excitement.

"Master, I succeeded!"

PS:

After being busy for more than a week, the trivial matters are basically finished. I told the people at Wu Ke that I would not consider a new book before the New Year; I will do my best to finish 【Transformers】 first.

Starting today, updates will resume, tentatively two updates daily; I will ask for leave if something comes up, and extra updates will count as making up for the backlog.
