Chapter 449: Taking It Away

"Hoo!"

Letting out a long breath, Sun Cheng slowly withdrew his fingers, which had been continuously rubbing his temples, and could not help but reveal a look of joy on his face.

"I've hit the jackpot!"

Because he was too excited, his body could not help but tremble.

This trip to Washington was truly a bountiful harvest.

The memory of a true Decepticon elder was exceptionally precious to him; after all, he could take this opportunity to glimpse into much of Cybertron's ancient past that had been buried by time.

Not to mention, this Jetfire was actually one of the Decepticons' most outstanding scientists.

Born during the Ancient Council era, Jetfire had received the most complete education, and his memory data preserved the most peak-era Cybertron Technology, systematic and complete; as long as he digested it, he could use it directly.

One must know that during the Ancient Council era, the Cybertronian civilization at that time possessed terrifying power capable of easily annihilating stars and causing civilizations to vanish.

The legendary Space Bridge was sufficient for the Cybertronian army to conduct intra-planetary or cross-planetary strategic deployments over distances of hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilometers.

And the Cybertronian Spaceship, equipped with a propulsion system similar to a curvature drive engine, was a piece of super black technology capable of crossing galaxies in an extremely short time, continuously transporting resources found by exploration fleets from the vast universe hundreds of thousands of light-years away back to Cybertron.

Although limited by location and time, Sun Cheng had only just selected and roughly browsed through some of Jetfire's memories, but even so, he had still glimpsed many good things that made his Spark burn so intensely it almost crashed.

Among them was that super black technology he had longed for for a long time—the Space Bridge.

Yes!

This was simply an unexpected joy; he had not expected that Jetfire would actually possess the Space Bridge, a piece of super black technology that was rumored to have been almost lost on Cybertron.

It is imaginable that once Sun Cheng digests and masters this technology, he will truly be invincible on Earth in the future.

Excitement aside, he had experienced too much and grown quite a bit over the past year or so.

Sun Cheng quickly controlled his emotions, though his gaze toward the Blackbird in front of him remained fiery.

"Prepare to leave here..."

He gave an order to the Pioneer, yet he could not help but feel fortunate in his heart.

The Spherical Space that had inexplicably appeared within Sun Cheng's body had previously been discovered by him to also require the absorption of energy, and after absorbing enough energy, it would undergo a change that he was not yet sure was good or bad.

At the time, he had barely given it any thought before he began bringing large amounts of High-purity Energy Liquid produced by Base No. 2 into the Spherical Space, letting it draw more energy from within.

The effect did not disappoint Sun Cheng; although it had been a while since he had carefully studied the changes in the Spherical Space, it was obvious that the space had expanded compared to the beginning.

Now, inside the Spherical Space hidden within his body, not only was the small spaceship he had obtained from the Hunter Civilization in the real world stored, but there were also hundreds of combat and industrial robots manufactured by the base, as well as some other sundries and equipment.

Although there was not much space left, it was still enough to fit this Blackbird and take it away.

Although doing so also meant he had to take a certain risk—after all, the Spherical Space within his body was the foundation of everything for Sun Cheng—letting an undead Decepticon elder enter the Spherical Space certainly carried risks.

However, it was not a big problem.

He had already checked carefully just now; the energy within Jetfire had completely dried up, and he had fallen into a special state of being neither dead nor alive.

This state was even more dangerous than the state of Megatron he had seen on the seabed before, because although Megatron had also entered a state of suspended animation, one could see the strangeness of his so-called death from the fact that Sun Cheng had been countered by Megatron's consciousness shortly after peeking into his memory data.

But Jetfire was different; his Spark had completely dried up. Although the Blackbird high-speed reconnaissance plane in front of Sun Cheng looked new, that was merely an appearance.

Because the Spark had long since dried up and Jetfire could not obtain energy for maintenance, the body was already decaying to the point of reaching the internal organs.

For Mechanical Life born on Cybertron, because their bodies contained a large amount of metal, rusting was inevitable, though it would not rust easily.

Even though he had only checked it roughly before, Sun Cheng could still be certain that the alloy used on Jetfire's body was superior to the System Alloy he used for forging his New Body.

Yet, such an excellent super alloy had now begun to rust.

Once a Mechanical Life's body begins to rust, there are only two possibilities: either it has been infected with the Cosmic Rust, which is comparable to a terminal illness for Mechanical Life, and the outcome is that it will soon die because the entire body completely rusts and corrodes.

And the second possibility is that its natural lifespan has reached its end.

Yes, just as it is difficult for humans to break through the Hayflick Limit to obtain a longer life, Mechanical Life also cannot break free from the curse; although they possess a lifespan far longer than humans, this lifespan also has a limit.

The more powerful the Mechanical Life, the longer their natural lifespan, but if they cannot complete an essential transformation before their lifespan reaches its end—such as the Frenzy Body that Sun Cheng possessed, evolving from an initial micro-Decepticon into his current appearance—then they will also die naturally.

When Frenzy was born, the history of the Cosmic Rust ravaging Cybertron had long since passed.

However, although Sun Cheng did not know much about this, he still had some concept of it.

He knew that if Jetfire had been infected with the Cosmic Rust, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to survive for at least a million years or more to the present day.

Therefore, the only remaining possibility was the last one: Jetfire's natural lifespan had reached its end.

In this situation, wanting to wake him up, unless it was a holy relic like the AllSpark, otherwise, even directly infusing High-purity Energy Liquid into his Spark would not necessarily stop his body from continuing to decay.

The AllSpark had long since shattered, and although Sun Cheng had a few fragments in his hands, the two were not related, so he naturally was unwilling to use a precious fragment to test whether he could wake the other party up.

This was a true Decepticon elder, although from the other party's memory data, Jetfire should not be the kind of evil Decepticon like Megatron whose core was deeply branded with destruction and conquest.

But he was unwilling to gamble; at least in Sun Cheng's view, an uncontrolled Decepticon elder brought him a hundred harms and not a single benefit.

Quickly brushing away the countless thoughts that flashed through his mind, Sun Cheng took a deep breath and reached out to touch the Blackbird in front of him again.

The next moment, with a thought, the Blackbird high-speed reconnaissance plane that had been quietly placed in the exhibition hall suddenly disappeared from his and the Pioneer's field of vision.
