Chapter 693: Wormhole

Just as Sun Cheng was feeling somewhat uncertain and suspicious, scared by his own conjectures, the answer from Explorer 203 quickly made him heave a sigh of relief.

"That is not the case. We were indeed chased by a strange fleet during our voyage..."

"The captain recognized them as a marauder fleet from Quintessa and, believing death was inevitable, had me leave behind a flight log..."

"However, although we were hit multiple times during the chase, causing some minor damage to the ship, we eventually managed to shake them off by passing through a wormhole."

"The reason we crashed is that shortly after exiting the wormhole, our ship was accidentally struck by a meteorite, ultimately losing control and crashing onto this planet!"

"So that's how it is!" For Sun Cheng, this counted as good news.

The threat of the Quintessons was truly too great. Having successively digested the memories of Frenzy, Jazz, Jetfire, and a portion of Megatron's, the more Sun Cheng understood about the Cybertronians, the more he could feel the power of the Quintessons of the past.

Where the Quintessons went after being driven away by the Cybertronians was a problem; the Cybertronian civilization had searched for millions of years without finding them, and heaven knows where this colonial race had hidden.

However, as long as the Quintessons did not die out, it was only a matter of time before the Quintessons, accustomed to external colonization and plunder, rose again.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Cheng asked again: "Are there wormholes in the Solar System capable of interstellar travel?"

"Yes. According to the basic introduction to the Solar System you transmitted to me, I have determined that a wormhole is located between Jupiter and Saturn, though I cannot confirm whether it is a stable or unstable wormhole!"

A wormhole is a space-time hole, a special celestial body under the concept of astrophysics, an incredible existence formed by twisting the concepts of time and space.

It can connect two ends of the universe spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers or even tens or hundreds of light-years, allowing a passing fleet to complete a journey that would otherwise take tens or even tens of thousands of years in just a few days.

Theoretically, a wormhole can also twist more space-time channels and possess more entrances and exits.

The Space Bridge, a super black technology created during the peak of the Cybertronian civilization, was ultimately derived and created by Cybertronian scientists through continuous research into the special celestial phenomenon of wormholes.

A so-called stable wormhole refers to a wormhole that is constant at a certain place in the universe, fixedly connecting two distances.

An unstable wormhole, on the other hand, refers to a wormhole that links more space-time and possesses more than two entrances. Because it connects too many space-times, under their mutual influence, such a wormhole becomes very unstable, appearing and disappearing at times, and it is even said that eerie and inexplicable Time-Space Storms can appear inside.

In Jetfire's memories, Cybertronian scientists once lost a probe while conducting data tests on the Time-Space Storms that occasionally appeared inside an unstable wormhole.

Interestingly, one day several years later, they suddenly received a response from that lost probe again.

When the Cybertronian scientists recovered the probe, they were surprised to find that the records on it showed the interval between its two data responses was only a few hours; the concept of several years seemed to have vanished from this probe.

Later, after continuous repeated testing, the Cybertronian scientists finally confirmed.

The special phenomena similar to storms that occasionally appear inside unstable wormholes can cause time deviations.

This phenomenon, which they eventually named a Time-Space Storm, could not only cause a probe to eerily jump several years in time to appear at a future moment, but could even return it to a point in the past.

Both Jetfire and Shockwave had participated in this research experiment that lasted for over a thousand years, which is why Sun Cheng was able to learn a great deal of valuable information.

Frowning, his fingers tapped unconsciously on the alloy seat.

Explorer 203 could not determine whether the wormhole they used to evade the Quintessons was stable, which was indeed a huge destabilizing factor.

If the wormhole between Mars and Jupiter were unstable, that would be fine; perhaps it would disappear on its own at some point.

But if it were a stable wormhole, that would be terrible; the expansion speed of the Quintessons was very fast.

Two bouts of Cosmic Rust might have severely crippled this colonial race, but as long as they were not wiped out, under the cruel rule of the Quintessons, the recovery speed of the Quintessons was far faster than other civilizations.

Therefore, that Quintesson marauder fleet that once chased the New World Explorer might not have originally operated in the star region near the other end of the wormhole, but they would eventually expand there sooner or later.

If they really discovered the wormhole, Earth would be in danger.

This was not Sun Cheng being overly anxious; only those races that had been colonized by the Quintessons would remember their cruelty and coldness, and the Cybertronians were among them.

The Decepticons have always been viewed by the Autobots as evil and bellicose, but compared to the evil Quintessons, they were still slightly unqualified.

Worrying was one thing, but fortunately, Sun Cheng soon realized that with his current forces and strength, even if the Quintessons did not attack, there were already many forces on Earth alone that he could not handle at present.

Thinking this way, a bit of unease was forcibly suppressed by him, only to be left for a future time when he was free to recall and continue to have a headache over.

"Explorer 203, transmit all the data you have retained regarding the New World Explorer, as well as all your flight logs, to me?"

"There is a vast amount of data to transmit, are you sure, sir? And I am afraid my backup energy cannot support the transmission of all the data!"

"So much?"

This was something Sun Cheng had not expected, and he also realized he had been a bit rash. After thinking for a moment, he spoke again: "I intend to build a new ship for you. Explorer 203, transmit all the data regarding the New World Explorer ship to me!"

"Please wait a moment!"

Having the authority of a First Mate to access the entire ship's data was an unexpected surprise for Sun Cheng.

Without making him wait too long, Explorer 203 quickly packaged and transmitted all the organized data regarding the New World Explorer ship to Sun Cheng.

A massive amount of information flooded into his head. Sun Cheng controlled his Core to digest it with all his might. Only after a full twenty minutes or so did the data characters constantly flickering in his eyes finally stop jumping.

Explorer-class ship, all data acquired!

The Explorer was a medium-sized cargo ship designed by Qimaoji, another student of the great Scientist Zhelasasi, during the peak of the Cybertronian civilization.

Because it was selected by the Outer Colonial Bureau for large-scale construction for extraterrestrial colonization and mineral transport, this Explorer series of ships was built in the tens of thousands during the Council of Ancients era, making it the most built type of ship in the Cybertronian civilization.
