Chapter 505: Sleep Pod

Late at night, inside Safe House No. 3 in the villa's basement.

After more than half a month, the originally spacious and empty Safe House No. 3 had completely changed its appearance.

Rows of glass walls, clearly installed not long ago, partitioned Safe House No. 3 into two different areas on the left and right, leaving a corridor only about a meter wide in the middle for passage.

The space inside the glass wall on the left was furnished just like a living area.

This was the living area Sun Cheng had specifically prepared for himself, featuring a sectional sofa, a coffee table, a bookcase, a wardrobe, a television, and a large double bed.

He had even used tempered glass walls to partition off a bathroom of less than ten square meters at one end of the living area, and similarly used tempered glass walls at the other end to partition off a small space of about twenty square meters, placing several cold storage cabinets filled with various reserve foods and a full set of kitchenware and tableware inside.

When necessary, the food and water he had pre-stored here were completely sufficient for two people to stay here for a month.

The work area was separated from the living area by a narrow corridor; although the areas on both sides were almost similar in size, compared to the well-organized living area on the other side, the work area was clearly much dirtier and messier.

In the dead of night, Sun Cheng, with oil stains on his cheeks from who knows when, was sitting in the work area of Safe House No. 3, more than thirty meters beneath the villa.

At this moment, several piles of completely disassembled parts were laid out all around him!

"... Frenzy, has the data recording finished?"

Putting down his disassembly tools, Sun Cheng stretched his neck, which was a bit sore from looking down for too long, and asked.

Beside him, the micro-Decepticon—Frenzy, who had transformed into combat mode at some unknown time, was playing the role of a qualified assistant and tool.

"Data recording complete. Do you need it processed?"

"Process it!"

"Understood, data processing in progress..."

Taking advantage of the time while Frenzy processed the data, Sun Cheng allowed himself a rare moment of relaxation.

The work area in Safe House No. 3 was a small laboratory he had newly established after he was targeted by an unknown force and could no longer temporarily go to Base No. 1 at Huwangling, all to avoid delaying some of the plans he had originally formulated.

A space of about a hundred square meters clearly couldn't hold much equipment.

Sun Cheng in the real world also lacked a Frenzy Body and could not use the special mechanical structure of a Decepticon to conduct research that humans would find incredible at will.

Therefore, this small laboratory located in Safe House No. 3 was, at best, a place for him to research and handle some small gadgets.

And Sun Cheng was currently using it to conduct research he considered very important.

Sleep Pod!

The so-called "Sleep Pod" actually drew its inspiration from the stasis pods commonly seen on spaceships in science fiction films.

For countries on Earth that had not yet stepped into interstellar civilization, this kind of stasis pod was merely a product with theoretical development possibilities.

After all, with the current technological level of humanity, they could already manufacture over 80% of its parts and functions.

However, the two most core difficulties—"the technology for re-awakening after long-term suspended animation" and "how to ensure bodily functions do not degenerate during long-term suspended animation"—had never been overcome.

Sun Cheng hadn't thought about building any stasis pods; he didn't need that thing for the time being, but he was not lacking in the relevant technology to manufacture stasis pods.

The small spaceship manufactured by the Hunter Civilization that he had accidentally obtained on Nublar Island a few months ago was equipped with similar equipment.

Although humans could not directly use the similar equipment installed on the spaceship because those alien creatures had body structures vastly different from humans.

However, the principles were roughly the same; in the 【Transformers Universe】, Sun Cheng had even ordered his Decepticon engineers to conduct a comprehensive technical decryption and modification of it.

He even had Yuri send some death row inmates to Base No. 2 through certain channels to conduct experiments, confirming that humans could completely use the stasis pods decrypted and modified by the Decepticon engineers.

The stasis pod technology was also brought back by Sun Cheng as black technology, with part of it stored in his brain and the other part stored in a super-large storage chip at Base No. 1 in Huwangling.

Of course, his current research was actually still somewhat related to stasis pods.

During this period after returning to reality, because there was a large amount of work to handle at the company every day, he also had to set aside at least one or two hours to exercise his body after returning home.

This resulted in Sun Cheng having to sleep at least seven or eight hours a day to relieve mental and physical fatigue.

For him, who had become accustomed to the Frenzy Body, this was undoubtedly unacceptable.

A day only had twenty-four hours to begin with, yet because of the fragile human body, one-third of the time had to be wasted on sleep.

Therefore, after recruiting a president's assistant, and also to test the capabilities of the future Chief Operating Officer of the group, Sun Cheng dumped the work that he should have handled and coordinated himself onto Lin Bing, who had come to the group to report, allowing him to squeeze out an extra two or three hours of time every day recently.

All of this squeezed-out time was used by him to research and design the "Sleep Pod."

The "Sleep Pod" in Sun Cheng's design was theoretically a special instrument that could assist in entering a deep sleep state, thereby shortening sleep time and even quickly achieving brain and body recovery.

When designing the Sleep Pod, he drew on some relevant technologies of the "stasis pod," but because the relevant equipment technology on the Hunter Civilization spaceship was very rudimentary, and the Decepticon engineers in the 【Transformers Universe】 had no use for this thing, they only retained the most primitive functions when modifying it.

Therefore, for Sun Cheng to design a "Sleep Pod" based on the relevant technology of the "stasis pod," the first step was to integrate the functions possessed by some medical equipment on Earth—such as monitoring heart rate, pulse, brainwave frequency, and other medical functions he could use—into the "stasis pod" technology first.

In the future, he hoped to use the "Sleep Pod" to simulate the changes in the bio-electromagnetic fields between muscle tissues in various parts of the body during human exercise and deep sleep, so as to subtly transform his body while he slept.

Of course, one must eat a meal one bite at a time.

Currently, Sun Cheng's research and development of the "Sleep Pod" was still at the very beginning stage, which was integrating the functions of some medical equipment on Earth that he could use into the stasis pod.

Frenzy quickly completed the data recording and processing of the equipment he had just disassembled; although it was only a micro-Decepticon whose self-awareness had been erased, its computing power and ability to link to the internet and hack into the data ports of major laboratories were still quite remarkable.

With this excellent tool serving by his side, although Sun Cheng's current research and development progress was very slow, he had not yet encountered any major difficulties that hindered him from continuing his research.

Time passed quickly as Sun Cheng buried himself in a pile of parts, using increasingly proficient techniques to reassemble these scattered mechanical components into other shapes according to the design in his mind.

About an hour later, suddenly, Frenzy, who had been quietly serving on the side like an alloy model without moving, suddenly raised its head, the red light in its eyes flashing rapidly.

After processing the information just transmitted from the outside, its cold, hollow electronic voice rang out.

"Master, the ultra-micro reconnaissance device responsible for monitoring the bar has discovered some useful clues. Would you like to view them?"

Hearing this, Sun Cheng put down the socket wrench in his hand.
