Chapter 428: The Fallen Spaceship

"Elder Script!"

Mola said from the side in disbelief, shaking his head with some regret.

Every Newborn Decepticon cultivated by the Base had enough information preserved in its Core before birth, which included those Elder Script characters that Sun Cheng and the others had previously discovered on Earth.

However, this was only to give them a concept of it; after all, even Sun Cheng and Atlas did not know how to decipher the Elder Script.

A flash of blue light flickered in his eyes, and those few lines of indecipherable Elder Script on the ground had already been completely saved.

Sun Cheng toyed with the sphere in his hand, feeling somewhat regretful about this in his heart.

Megatron certainly knew how to decipher the Elder Script, but unfortunately, although he had previously stolen a portion of Megatron's Memory Data, it clearly did not include the part about the Elder Script.

However!

Glancing at the Metal Sphere in his hand, the slight regret that had just risen in his heart instantly vanished.

"A key... the mural was true after all, a Cybertronian Spaceship really did crash nearby..."

With his sharp fingertips, which emitted a chilling gleam, lightly pinching the sphere, a wave of heat surged in Sun Cheng's heart.

From the very first moment he saw this sphere, he had recognized what this thing was.

"Mola... prepare to withdraw..."

He toyed with the sphere lightly in his hand; because he had obtained it, Sun Cheng was in a very good mood, and even his voice clearly betrayed the owner's delight.

Mola looked up at the sphere in his hand and immediately replied respectfully: "Yes, Master!"

He did not know what the sphere was, and even though he felt as if a cat were scratching at his heart, seeing that his master had no intention of explaining, he could only bury the question in his heart.

Naturally, there was no need for Sun Cheng and the others to move the Golden Ship themselves; Mola would naturally arrange for robots to handle it later.

Because of the military coup in Bolivia, coupled with the fact that Rio de Janeiro in Brazil had also been lively not long ago, many countries had increased their satellite surveillance of the South American region in recent times.

The few months Sun Cheng spent in Russia were not in vain; he had left backdoors in the satellites the Base provided to Russia that could detect Cybertronians.

Although the Russians checked these satellites repeatedly, the technological gap between the two sides was ultimately too great; not only did they find nothing, but he also took the opportunity to hack into Russia's military satellite Control Terminal.

And the mission reports sent back by Russian spy satellites some time ago clearly showed much more filming and recording of South America than in the past.

Besides looking for his foothold in South America, this country, which was single-mindedly trying to restore its status as a superpower, was likely also paying attention to everything happening in South America, including the Brazilian drug trafficker riots and the military coup in Bolivia.

The subsequent cleanup work naturally did not need to be done by Sun Cheng; he only gave an order, and Mola would resolve all the problems later.

Because the Underground Pyramid concerned the secret of a Cybertronian Spaceship, the murals inside and the Elder Script within the pyramid would all be thoroughly erased.

They were not human, after all, and did not need to consider things like tourism economies or cultural treasures.

In fact, after the Golden Ship was cut into small gold bricks and moved out, this Underground Pyramid would be filled with cement to block it for destructive, permanent sealing.

He sent Mola, who had finished changing his exterior, back to La Paz to continue dealing with that increasingly greedy President Numar.

Once he left, at the Sub-base in the mountain stream on the outskirts of La Paz, Dash, who had been unable to enter the Underground Pyramid, watched his master constantly toying with a Metal Sphere in his hand, and rare, frequent expressions of excitement and agitation appeared on his face.

He was a Decepticon, after all, not as good at concealing and suppressing his emotions as humans.

He soon could not help himself and asked him: "Master, what exactly is this thing?"

"Hmm?"

Having his train of thought interrupted, Sun Cheng gathered his focus, tilted his head slightly to look at him, and after a moment of silence, answered him in a pleasant tone.

"This... is a key..."

"A key?" Dash looked at the Metal Sphere in his hand again, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes!"

Sun Cheng nodded slowly, pinching it lightly with two fingers, a flash of light flickering in his eyes.

Calling it a key was indeed correct.

Because if the information he stole from Megatron was correct, then the true identity of this thing should be the Activator for the main control computer of a Cybertronian Spaceship.

Once he used it, he would be able to find the spaceship suspected of having crashed nearby.

However...

Cybertronian computers were all special existences possessing intelligence no less than that of Mechanical Life, such as 'Phantom' that he had obtained from Brawl.

And the main control computer installed on a Cybertronian Spaceship, in Megatron's memory, was an existence possessing intelligence far exceeding that of ordinary Mechanical Life.

For example, Optimus Prime's Ark; the main control computer on that ship could even automatically distinguish intruders and counterattack.

This was also the reason why Sun Cheng did not use it to find the crashed spaceship the moment he obtained it.

Once the Activator was used, it would inevitably awaken the main control computer on the spaceship, and with his cautious nature, he would absolutely not gamble on the extent of the spaceship's damage.

Because even if the probability was only one percent, if he could not gain the other party's recognition, and that computer possessed the ability to control the main cannon to attack.

The consequences would be something he was unwilling to see; the spaceship's defense system could easily destroy his body, and even this South American inland country beneath his feet.

What he was even more unwilling to see was the commotion being too great after the spaceship was awakened, attracting the attention of the Autobots and The Fallen on the Moon.

Therefore, for the time being, Sun Cheng could only suppress the restless urge in his heart.

Now was not the time to awaken it!

After toying with the Metal Sphere in his hand for a while, he forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart and placed it into his Spherical Space.

Recently, he did not know if it was because it had absorbed the High-Concentration Energy Liquid manufactured by Base No. 2 that Sun Cheng kept in the Spherical Space.

He had briefly entered his consciousness into the space and discovered that the size of the space had increased again.

This was undoubtedly good news; while proving some of his previous conjectures, it also provided possibilities for some of his new ideas.

For example, first find that Cybertronian Spaceship, and if its damage was relatively severe, cut it into pieces and use the Spherical Space to transport it directly back to Base No. 2 for research.

Thinking of this, he was just about to order Dash to have him immediately dispatch Scout Robots to conduct a wide-ranging search within a radius of thousands of kilometers centered on the Underground Pyramid.

Who would have thought that at this very moment, Sun Cheng felt a stream of information being precisely transmitted from afar.

Before he could react, his Core had already automatically received that information.

Sun Cheng was startled at first, then checked it and immediately understood why.

"Master..."

Sprint clearly also sensed something and vigilantly came to his side.

"It's nothing..." Sun Cheng waved his hand to stop him, "It is an emergency communication sent over by Pioneer..."

Pioneer had a relatively steady personality, at least far better than Sprint and the others.

This was also the reason why he had sent him to the United States to lurk within the sphere of influence of the Autobots.

However, for him to send an emergency communication, there must surely be a very important matter.

Thinking of this, he gave a brief explanation and then ignored Sprint, earnestly reading the other party's communication.

The next moment, Sun Cheng's face froze in surprise.
