Chapter 786: Armed Transport Ship (Part 1)

~7 min read 1,368 words

The battle is over!

Looking at the devastated Trindade Island, which had been almost completely destroyed into ruins, Sun Cheng frowned, his mood surprisingly calm.

The destruction of the Black Market could be said to be both outside his expectations and within them.

When Sun Cheng originally prepared to establish the Black Market on Trindade Island in the South Atlantic Ocean, besides truly wanting to cooperate with various human nations and wanting to obtain more resources from Earth to build starships and strengthen himself.

There was another consideration, which was to use the Black Market to attract more eyes focused on him, diverting them from searching for Base No. 2 all over Earth, and instead attracting them here to Trindade Island.

If one were to say Starscream hadn't investigated where his lair was, even Sun Cheng himself wouldn't believe it.

However, investigation is one thing, and ultimately finding it should have only been a matter of time for Starscream.

But by successfully attracting his attention to the Black Market here, preserving the integrity of Base No. 2, the loss was still within an acceptable range.

Of course, this was just self-consolation.

"Sure enough, it's still very annoying!"

Looking up toward the direction of the Moon, Sun Cheng did not know if Starscream had already received the battle results from the Black Market on the Moon at this moment.

But he was truly very annoyed right now; he had noted down this grudge.

After dealing with those replica warriors whose states had plummeted after being hit by the Electromagnetic Pulse Missile, the batch of Decepticon Warriors who had rushed over from Base No. 2 to provide support began to clean up the battlefield.

"Master!"

Sprint, Brawl, and the others each brought several Decepticon Warriors and arrived at Sun Cheng's side.

He nodded, "You've worked hard!"

After a fierce battle, Sun Cheng no longer had the mood for a lecture.

Looking at Swindle, who was slumped on the ground to the side, and the few remaining Decepticon Warriors, no emotional fluctuations could be seen on his face.

"Are there any doctors coming? If not, contact the Workers and doctors who have already evacuated to other islands to return, and treat the injuries of the wounded on the island first."

His gaze finally fell on Thunder, whose state was very poor right now.

Thunder's strength was significantly stronger than Swindle's; among Advanced Warriors, he could definitely be considered outstanding. In the previous battle, he had killed twenty or thirty replica warriors, only a few less than Sun Cheng.

However, because of this, he was also besieged by a large number of Decepticon replica warriors, his Spark was nearly injured, he lost an arm, and there were wounds all over his body.

Given Thunder's current condition, it was hard to say how much combat power he still had without resting for a period of time and receiving treatment from the doctors.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Cheng simply ordered him: "Thunder, return to Base No. 2 immediately. I will arrange for Atlas and the others to prepare to arrange a New Body for you after Pioneer wakes up."

This time the Black Market was suddenly invaded; if he hadn't been overly suspicious in the past, I'm afraid it would have been a different scene.

However, although he held it, this kind of pyrrhic victory was definitely not what Sun Cheng wanted; just as the battle ended, he was already summarizing the shortcomings and lessons.

His subordinates' medium, low, and high-end combat power were all insufficient; this was the biggest problem exposed in this battle.

However, regarding medium and low-end combat power, Sun Cheng glanced at the wreckage of Decepticon replica warriors that were everywhere on the ground.

According to his guess, these wrecks could bring him at least three or four hundred Decepticon Warriors whose combat power was slightly inferior to the replica warriors.

This big gift from Starscream could also be considered to have helped him accelerate his development speed a little.

As for high-end combat power, this shortcoming must be filled quickly.

"To be able to make even Megatron have to put down his hatred to win me over, I must have at least a dozen Elite Warriors under my command to drive!"

After setting a goal for himself in his heart, Sun Cheng's gaze toward Thunder held a bit more consideration.

It was impossible to say he had no vigilance toward Thunder in his heart; in fact, being suspicious by nature, he was not only uneasy about Thunder, who was awakened using Blackout's Core, but even toward another core general under his command—Pioneer, Sun Cheng could not say he had let down his guard.

Pioneer's Core came from Starscream's hands; heaven knows if this guy would also be like Swindle, a Decepticon who had been pitted miserably by Starscream in the past.

Resurrecting the dead might be out of reach for ordinary Autobots and Decepticons, but Starscream had been responsible for cultivating replica warriors for years and was also a top-tier Scientist within the Decepticon Legion; Awakening Technology was just something with a little bit of technical content to him.

If Swindle hadn't met Sun Cheng, heaven knows how long he would have been toyed with by Starscream.

Because of this, Sun Cheng, who had long had the technology related to upgrading the bodies of his Decepticon subordinates, had dragged it out until now.

"Forget it, don't suspect those you use, and don't use those you suspect; even if they all betrayed me, I still have my Private Legion."

After hearing Sun Cheng's order to return to Base No. 2 and prepare to accept body modification, Thunder's expression froze for a moment.

But soon, a rare emotional fluctuation appeared on his face, which was clearly a look of excitement and thrill.

"I understand, Master!"

Thunder bowed slightly, then leaped into mid-air, transforming into a heavy armed helicopter covered in scars, and flew toward the direction of Base No. 2.

Although Sprint and the others were envious, they had also been notified before that their body upgrades would be completed uniformly in the coming months.

Therefore, although they were envious, they were not jealous.

On the contrary, Swindle, over there, had an expression that changed between envy and jealousy.

Sun Cheng just glanced at him with his peripheral vision and stopped paying attention to him.

This guy had already missed the time for the trust he had given; he was no longer prepared to give him another chance and was going to start considering how to deal with him.

A group of subordinates who came to support were sent by Sun Cheng to clean up the battlefield on the island.

He himself walked to the three landed warships and carefully examined this type of Small Aerospace Warship modified from the Hope starship he had designed himself.

The Hope was a flat, streamlined starship, the whole thing like an isosceles right triangle, looking three or four parts similar to the United States B-2 stealth Bomber.

When finally finalized, the Hope starship was 27.51 meters long, with a wingspan of 32.3 meters and a height of 15.36 meters; the final empty weight of the starship reached 94.25 tons, and the maximum takeoff weight reached about 164 tons.

That experimental starship was a small starship biased toward reconnaissance and transport within a star system; it couldn't be said to be very advanced, but it still had its merits.

However, when the Decepticon Engineers under Sun Cheng carried out military modifications on the basis of the Hope starship, the original body was obviously a bit too small.

After accepting the redesign and modification, the overall shape of these three Small Aerospace Warships did not change much from the original, but they had undergone fattening and weight-increasing treatments.

Directly connecting to the Central Main Control Intelligence on the three warships, Sun Cheng obtained the most precise warship data from them.

31.2 meters long, 35.17 meters wingspan, 17.9 meters high; the empty weight of the warship reached 137.52 tons, and the maximum takeoff weight was about 227 tons.

Obviously, this increased length and space were used to install weapons and ammunition bays.
