Chapter 694: Workers and Engineers

Having obtained what he wanted most, Sun Cheng did not continue to stay inside the spaceship.

He said a word to Explorer 203, stating he needed to temporarily shut down its backup energy, and then brought it out.

Afterward, it consciously disconnected its backup energy.

Spending some time, Sun Cheng used the Spherical Space to stuff it inside.

Subsequently, having no more attachment, he quickly left the spaceship by the original route.

Just as he emerged from the spaceship, Brawl, who had been waiting for a long time at the bottom of the lake, came up to greet him.

"Master..."

Sun Cheng saw the confusion on his face, nodded, and said in the communication channel: "Let's go, I have brought out everything of value on this spaceship!"

Brawl seemed to have realized something, answered with a sudden realization, and followed behind him, swimming upward.

When they arrived above Lake Titicaca, on the lakeshore, rows of silt-clearing robots that had just been driven ashore were already neatly lined up there under the command of the Workers.

Clearly, because he had been too hurried just now and had not explained clearly, the Workers responsible for controlling these robots had not figured out exactly what Sun Cheng's intentions were.

After all, they had spent months searching for the spaceship, and having finally found the ship that crashed at the bottom of the lake, they had only just cleared a small portion of it; why was he suddenly saying it was over and driving them all out?

Sun Cheng realized the problem: "Prepare to evacuate. The spaceship is severely damaged and has been soaking at the bottom of the lake for too long. I have already brought out all the valuable equipment on the ship; there is no need to continue excavating!"

With their Leader speaking, the Workers present finally saluted and began to control the robots to evacuate.

Sun Cheng and his group did not stay at Lake Titicaca for long; soon, he took Brawl and returned to the headquarters of Base No. 2.

Although he had just returned a short while ago, because he had returned with things on his mind at the time, he had not been in the mood to properly appreciate it.

After more than half a year, the current Base No. 2 has developed very well.

The valley that Sun Cheng initially selected for Base No. 2 now barely shows any of the desolation of the remote mountainous areas of western Brazil.

In the valley, which is nearly three kilometers wide and about a thousand meters deep, metal-forged buildings and facilities are everywhere on the valley floor and the mountain walls.

Because an astonishing number of optical camouflage devices are deployed nearby, even if satellites from various countries on Earth or human drones fly over the valley, what they see and photograph is the same desolate scenery as the western mountains of Brazil.

Yet here, there are highly intelligent self-propelled artillery pieces, sets of advanced air defense equipment capable of intercepting nuclear missiles; Combat Robots patrolling along the mountain valleys twenty-four hours a day, and aerial combat robots constantly cruising in the sky.

Under the orders of Sun Cheng, who suffers from a severe lack of security, the military units deployed within six hundred kilometers of the headquarters of Base No. 2 are already sufficient to completely destroy Brazil, the country known as the number one military power in South America, within twenty-four hours.

Not to mention that among these towering mountains and ridges, his Decepticon Engineers and Workers have utilized almost all the land that could be utilized.

On this most unlikely land, they have built factories with small footprints but terrifying production capacities, as well as geothermal, hydroelectric, and nuclear power plants.

This is Sun Cheng's confidence and capital.

Ignoring the fire-control illuminations that locked onto him one after another and then quickly disengaged, Sun Cheng and his group landed in the core area of Base No. 2.

Although there was no prior notice, when he and Brawl arrived, Atlas, who is in charge of Base No. 2, still rushed out with Brawl to welcome him.

"Master, welcome back!"

Atlas bowed slightly to him humbly.

Sun Cheng nodded, glanced at Atlas, who had turned into having four arms, and felt slightly uncomfortable in his heart.

In order to promote the rapid development of Base No. 2, although he had only concentrated on replacing the new bodies for his subordinate Decepticons once.

But once a Decepticon under his command performed in a way that satisfied him, all Decepticons, including Engineers like Atlas, could obtain the opportunity for modification and Enhancement.

Although modification and Enhancement are not as direct as replacing a new body in terms of strength improvement, for the Decepticons, it is still a good way to continuously improve their strength.

Atlas and these other Decepticon Engineers often get the opportunity for modification whenever they complete important projects or Tasks assigned by Sun Cheng, so whenever he returns after a period of absence, he can always notice that their images are constantly changing.

For example, the current Atlas has a head that has increased by nearly double compared to when he just replaced his new body, and his computing power has also obtained a several-fold increase.

Of course, what makes him look increasingly strange is the pair of mechanical arms he previously applied to add to himself.

It is said that this added pair of mechanical arms can help Atlas handle multiple targets simultaneously during experiments, greatly saving verification time.

Although, in Sun Cheng's view, his current image looks more and more like a spider demon from Far East legends.

"Huan, clear an empty Laboratory for me. I have found a new companion for you, also a Super Intelligence created by the Cybertron civilization!"

Seeing a Normal robot following behind Atlas and the others, Sun Cheng immediately knew this was an avatar controlled by Huan, the Central Main Control Intelligence of Base No. 2, and immediately looked at it and ordered.

The robot's voice was a bit surprised; it could be seen that Huan had processed this avatar slightly: "A new companion like me? Very well, Master, please head to C-17 Laboratory!"

"No rush!"

Sun Cheng nodded at it, then immediately looked at Atlas again: "My time was quite tight when I returned last time. I heard you say that several Workers in the Base have met the standards for promotion. Arrange for them to come and let me see them, and prepare the data while you're at it; I want to take a look in a moment!"

"Very well, Master, please wait a moment!"

Just as mentioned before, since its establishment, Base No. 2 has been in a stage of rapid expansion.

To date, the vast majority of scientific research in Base No. 2 has been completed for him by the more than twenty original Decepticon Workers he obtained from the raid.

These Workers have performed great service for the expansion of his forces, and because of this, he has never abused them with the same contempt and slave-like attitude as the Decepticon Legion.

Previously, when collectively replacing new bodies for his subordinate Warriors, Atlas and a group of Decepticon Engineers all obtained a more powerful new body and shed their status as bottom-tier Workers.

Sun Cheng bestowed upon them a new identity—Engineer; they are the scientific research, manufacturing, and logistics of Base No. 2.

However, with the increasingly large Base No. 2, relying solely on these twenty-plus Decepticon Engineers has long since resulted in a shortage of manpower.

Therefore, a long time ago, Sun Cheng set his sights on the new batch of Workers he had cultivated.

Referring to the promotion process of the Engineers, he spent some effort to formulate a set of barely complete Worker cultivation and promotion processes.

All Workers in Base No. 2 only need to conscientiously follow this process, honestly participate in enough various Tasks, and regularly receive technical training from Decepticon Engineers.

After meeting certain standards, they can obtain a quota—a quota that allows them to be promoted from a Worker to a Decepticon Engineer.

PS:

Sorry, I had things to do during the day today and was running around outside for almost the whole day.

In the evening, because my younger sister's wedding is coming up soon, relatives came over to pass on their experience, which delayed me for a while, and I couldn't finish the manuscript.

There will be no third update today; please forgive me.
