Chapter 636: Deep in the Magma (Part 2) Please Subscribe

Expecting to extract benefits from Sun Cheng without paying a price? That doesn't exist.

After making a round with Thunder, the Forerunner returned very quickly.

The Base located on Trindade Island was not particularly large; after all, it was a small island with a total area of about ten square kilometers, and with a mountain hollowed out, there wasn't much space in the hinterland.

Aside from the main hall, which reached an area of over five thousand square meters, there were two auxiliary halls here.

However, those were slightly smaller than the main hall and much messier, piled everywhere with all sorts of equipment.

A group of Decepticon Workers were still operating machines, searching everywhere on the island for possible abnormal energy fluctuations.

Seeing that this guy Swindle wouldn't release the hawk until he saw the rabbit, Sun Cheng had no intention of indulging him.

He threw him directly to the Forerunner and Thunder, letting the two of them watch him for now.

As for himself, accompanied by the Decepticon Engineer in charge of this Base, he began to walk around inside the Base.

He only glanced briefly into the two busy auxiliary halls before leaving; seeing the tunnel extending deep into the depths, Sun Cheng asked curiously, "Is this place still being expanded?"

He glanced toward the depths of the tunnel, and under his keen eyesight, everything up to the very end was within his field of vision.

Unexpectedly, Sun Cheng did not see anything.

The Decepticon Engineer hurriedly explained, "Master, at the beginning, upon learning that this was a volcanic island, we brought a set of geothermal power generation equipment. We originally intended to find a suitable location to install the power generation equipment after surveying the belly of the mountain!"

"Oh!"

Sun Cheng immediately lost interest; geothermal resources on volcanic islands are abundant, but for humans, due to the high construction costs of geothermal power stations and certain threats to the environment, they are rarely built on volcanic islands, but the Decepticons couldn't care less.

Their power stations had higher conversion efficiency, and the machines occupied less space.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Sun Cheng suddenly reacted, "Wait, I didn't see any Engineering Robots over there? Have you given up on installing the geothermal power generation equipment?"

"Yes!"

The Decepticon Engineer nodded, "After we conducted a thorough survey of the entire island, we discovered that the underground volcano of this island has not completely extinguished. The magma layer is less than two hundred meters from the island's base at the bottom of the sea. It's just that for some reason, it has been peaceful all these years and has never erupted!"

"An underground volcano!"

The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart.

When he heard the words "underground volcano," Sun Cheng felt as if a thunderbolt had flashed through his mind.

"Magma, damn it, how could I have forgotten about that!"

For Mechanical Life, there are many ways to hide an item.

Sun Cheng had been constantly flipping through Jetfire's memories these past few days and had roughly understood why he couldn't find the 【Matrix of Leadership】 at the Nameless Temple back then.

The six Primes used very clever means to create an Imaginary Space independent of Earth.

The old guys seemed not to have completely died yet; only those who met their standards could discover and enter that Imaginary Space to take away the 【Matrix of Leadership】.

Of course, even for Jetfire in his prime, such a method would require repeated testing before he could determine if he could pull it off.

For ordinary Autobots and Decepticons, the methods for hiding an item are nothing more than those three.

The most dangerous items are launched into outer space, using the vast universe to hide an object; this is the most responsible and also the most irresponsible method, because afterward, not only can your opponent not find it, but even you cannot find it.

Secondly, it is hidden on some small asteroids known only to one's own side; back then, before the second civil war was about to face a full-scale decisive battle, Sentinel Prime personally led a team to empty the Autobots' energy Warehouse on the planet Cybertron, preparing to transport it to a hidden asteroid to hide it, so as to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Decepticon Legion.

And the third method is to bury it deep on the spot, using the soil's cancellation effect on electromagnetic waves to prevent it from being found by other factions.

The magma located deep underground is undoubtedly one of the most suitable locations for underground burial.

Detectors find it difficult to discover high-energy reactions in magma because magma itself is an active, high-energy aggregate.

Thinking of this, Sun Cheng could no longer hold back.

The magma on Earth is a hot, viscous molten substance formed by molten or partially molten rock underground, with temperatures generally between nine hundred and twelve hundred degrees, and up to fourteen hundred degrees.

For humans, this temperature is a death zone that absolutely cannot be crossed with a physical body.

But for Mechanical Life, this is not the case; ordinary carbon-iron alloys, commonly known as steel, have melting points of over fifteen hundred degrees.

Not to mention the special alloy used for the body Sun Cheng currently inhabits, which has a melting point exceeding thirty-seven hundred degrees.

Briefly entering the magma, while it would make him very uncomfortable, would not be fatal.

Thinking that the Beast General might have hidden that item, which even the Primes dreamed of, in the magma, how could Sun Cheng still hold back?

He immediately asked, "I suspect that item is very likely hidden in the magma. How long will it take you to dig a tunnel leading to the underground magma?"

"Uh..."

Although it felt a bit incredible, the Decepticons' strict hierarchical system meant that the Engineer under Sun Cheng did not dare to question his decision.

"Concentrating the Engineering Robots on the island, we will need about ten days or so!"

He explained in detail to Sun Cheng that the island base of Trindade Island was made of basalt formed by submarine volcanic eruptions, which is a relatively hard type of rock, and the difficulty of excavation is not much lower than mining.

Ten-plus days was a time Sun Cheng thought he could accept after some consideration.

"Just in time to take advantage of this period to mobilize a batch of metal over here; I want to repair the injuries on my body!"

Following his order, the entire Trindade Island began to get busy.

Setting aside the simple and boring process for now, although there was no movement on Sun Cheng's side for the moment, the Autobots located within Egypt had now become the target of public criticism.

After Optimus Prime relied on the 【Matrix of Leadership】 to finally narrowly kill The Fallen, although Ironhide hated The Fallen to the extreme,

The Fallen was one of the thirteen Primes of the planet Cybertron, the source of all Mechanical Life, so necessary respect still had to be given to him.

After using the 【Matrix of Leadership】 again to heal all the Autobots who were injured in the previous battle, Optimus Prime transformed back into his heavy truck form and dumped the corpse of The Fallen at the bottom of the Nile River near Aswan.

"Although he committed many sins, all sins disappear with death; the dead should not be disturbed again!"

Before dumping him into the riverbed, Optimus Prime destroyed his Memory Chip, cutting off the possibility of The Fallen being resurrected again in the future.

After doing all this, he looked at Ironhide, "Let's go; we must hurry to resurrect our companions."

There might very well be a hard battle to fight later!

He couldn't help but think of the evil existence that the six Primes had mentioned when he saw them at the moment of his death.

Optimus Prime's expression turned solemn, and then he transformed back into his heavy truck form; the mighty motorcade headed north again, rushing toward the Autobot burial ground located on the Sinai Peninsula.

They did not yet know that a conflict between the Autobots and humans was about to arrive.
