Chapter 801: Current Situation on Mars (Part II)

Sun Cheng did not concern himself with those Workers; when he arrived at the command center, all twelve Decepticon Engineers happened to be there.

Two doctors were currently checking the physical condition of the ten Engineers who had just finished their stasis!

Seeing this scene, Sun Cheng only narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the past, Megatron, in order to better rule over the Quintessons, created a type of military Cybertronian—the predecessor to the Decepticons. With the assistance of Starscream, Shockwave, and a group of other strategists, he created a relatively complete hierarchical system and deeply branded it into the depths of every cultivated Decepticon Core.

Although in the eyes of the equality-seeking Autobots, the hierarchical system was a rotten, outdated, and unbearable existence.

But they could not deny one point: this strict hierarchical system made the naturally cruel and bellicose Decepticons become even less afraid of war and death.

Even those replicated Warriors could face death without fear in war for the sake of higher power and status.

Just after traveling to the 【Transformers Universe】 and establishing his own force, Sun Cheng once wanted to throw the hierarchical system into the trash bin.

However, he was no saint. Later, as his contact with the Decepticons increased, upon discovering that the hierarchical system could better maintain the forces under his command, he unceremoniously took the Decepticon Legion's hierarchical system and used it after making some slight modifications.

Judging from the experience of the past two years, the effect was quite good.

Powerful Decepticons would inevitably enjoy more privileges, and likewise, the contributions they could make for Sun Cheng were also greater.

"Master!"

Seeing Sun Cheng walk in, the group of Decepticon Engineers and doctors in the command center all bowed slightly to salute him.

He nodded, walked to a metal seat in the command center, and sat down.

"Since you have all awakened, let me give a brief briefing first!"

He looked at Adam and Prometheus, who were slightly bowing their heads with no emotional fluctuations visible on their faces, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved into an arc.

"Very good, you already have some composure. It seems the experience on Mars these past few months has allowed them to gradually grow!"

Withdrawing his gaze, Sun Cheng then continued, "Rewards for merit and punishment for faults—this is our consistent standard."

He pointed at Adam and Prometheus, "Adam and Prometheus, although they are newly promoted Decepticon Engineers, they were the only two when I requested the base to recommend engineers to accompany me to Mars."

As soon as these words were spoken, Adam and Prometheus, who had just been worrying that their status in the Mars Base they had worked so hard to build would rapidly decline with the arrival of more Decepticon Engineers, trembled slightly.

They finally could not suppress the excitement and thrill in their hearts, and they looked up at their master.

And Sun Cheng did not let them down, continuing, "I don't care whether they were willing to go to Mars or were recommended at the time. I value the results, and Adam and Prometheus did not disappoint my expectations. Over the past few months, they have done quite well on Mars!"

Just now in the lounge, he had already contacted the Central Main Control Intelligence in the base and had a clear grasp of the entire base's current situation.

Over the past few months, Adam and the others had established more than thirty underground mining sites on Mars, and the total length of the completed underground transport tunnels had reached over 1,170 kilometers.

The various types of robots they initially brought to Mars were fewer than two thousand, and now that number had increased nearly sevenfold.

The changes to the Mars Base were the most significant; the original base, which relied on the Underground Karst Cave in the Canyon walls, had a total area of at most three hundred thousand square meters.

However, in the past few months, the Workers directed various types of robots to work tirelessly day and night inside the Mars Base, and they had already established a total construction area of over five million square meters within the mountain walls.

Although more than eighty percent of this so-called construction area was merely storage space for various minerals after being excavated and simply treated for earthquake resistance.

But to be able to achieve this step in just over four months with so few personnel shows that after Sun Cheng left, Adam and the others must not have slacked off in the slightest.

Moreover, even if they hadn't done well, the mere fact that they discovered the Maxim Emperor Laboratory on Mars was enough for Sun Cheng to credit them for a merit.

Looking at his two excited subordinates, he calmly continued, "From now on, this base shall be named Mars Base One. The management and other work of Mars Base One will still be the responsibility of Adam and Prometheus. After you consult with each other, leave four Decepticon Engineers to supplement Mars Base One, and the remaining Technical Officers, Workers, and Decepticon Warriors will also be split equally to supplement Mars Base One."

Sun Cheng looked at the two veteran Decepticon Engineers whose eyes were constantly flickering; they were the first batch of Decepticon Engineers to follow him, and this time they had also volunteered to go to Mars.

In consideration of this, necessary favoritism still had to be shown.

He reached out and pointed at them, "You two will lead the remaining Decepticon Engineers, as well as the other Technical Officers, Workers, and Decepticon Warriors, to survey the Martian terrain first and prepare to establish Mars Base Two at a suitable location. At that time, you will be responsible for that side. The resources for constructing Mars Base Two will be supplied by Base One for the time being."

In such a large Mars, it was impossible to build only one base.

After all, every base had its optimal coverage area; the consumption of transporting supplies and patrolling alone would greatly increase operating costs.

Adam and Prometheus had originally been timid and uneasy, fearing that the arrival of this batch of Decepticon Engineers would cause them to fall out of favor.

Now that Sun Cheng had promised them the management rights to a base, how could they be unwilling?

They immediately knelt on one knee on the ground, lowered their heads, and hurriedly agreed, unable to suppress the excitement and thrill in their voices.

"Master, everything follows your instructions."

As for the remaining Decepticons, they dared not defy Sun Cheng.

Among them, the two veteran Decepticon Engineers whom he had pointed out to manage a new base, although a bit disappointed that they could not manage an existing base, were still very happy to have obtained the management rights to a base just after arriving on Mars.

Even if the address for the base had not yet been selected, it still made the two Decepticons very happy.

The pursuit of power and strength was the most direct influence of the hierarchical system on the Decepticons.

Seeing that Sun Cheng's gaze was still on them, the two veteran Decepticon Engineers who had just arrived on Mars hurriedly followed Adam and Prometheus's example and knelt on one knee to express their submission.

"Master, everything follows your instructions!"

"Very good!"

Sun Cheng then stood up with satisfaction; he could not stay too long on this trip to Mars.

So, as he would be leaving soon, he prepared to go to the Maxim Emperor Laboratory to inspect it.

Although Sun Cheng would not take risks right now, he would first study the surrounding restrictions and see if there were any further discoveries along the way, so that he could be absolutely safe when exploring in the future.
