Chapter 811: Getting What One Wishes (Part 2)
Because he was impatient for the upcoming trade, Sun Cheng flew very fast along the way.
It took less than three hours for him and Leiting to cross South America and the Atlantic Ocean, arriving at the East African Rift Valley region.
Just like before, Sun Cheng contacted Optimus Prime first.
They had exchanged methods for emergency contact a long time ago, but everyone maintained a tacit understanding and rarely used them.
After informing Optimus Prime that they had arrived via the emergency contact method, Sun Cheng and Leiting descended from the sky.
Having cooperated with the Autobots several times already, he was not overly vigilant due to his trust in Optimus Prime.
Optimus Prime arrived much faster than Sun Cheng had guessed, and accompanying him were several other Autobots: Ironhide, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Wheeljack, and a somewhat unfamiliar golden Autobot.
"Lord Optimus Prime, and fellow Autobot friends, it is a pleasure to see you all!"
After letting his suspicious gaze linger for only a moment on the Autobot who gave him a very familiar feeling, Sun Cheng took the initiative to greet the Autobots.
"Lord Frenzy, we have brought the 【Matrix of Leadership】 energy!"
Optimus Prime nodded at him, not intending to chat much.
It was evident that the situation at New Iacon recently was likely even more severe than he had guessed.
Sun Cheng saw Ironhide take out a black box from somewhere; he tapped the box lightly with one finger, and the lid opened immediately, revealing the ten familiar crystals inside.
"I understand!"
Sun Cheng nodded: "I will take out the trade goods now, please wait a moment!"
Not to mention that he never intended to be at odds with the Autobots after offending Megatron.
Even for the sake of the Soul-Reaping Gun, Sun Cheng would not be so arrogant as to think of double-crossing them or playing any underhanded tricks.
He walked straight toward a spot not far away, and after walking a full few dozen meters, he saw that the surrounding space was sufficiently open.
Sun Cheng immediately began to take out the mechanical equipment, uranium-rich ore, and five Energy Pillars he had prepared long ago from the Spherical Space within his body.
Soon, he had piled up a cargo area dozens of meters high and covering thousands of square meters in front of the Autobots.
"This is... a Space Bridge... no..."
Wheeljack's attention was drawn by the scene before him; he had not been called out from the Laboratory this time to verify the nuclear power plant equipment Sun Cheng provided.
He could manufacture that kind of equipment himself; Wheeljack had been called over to prevent the other party from tampering with the Energy Pillars.
After all, although Energy Pillars are stable, through some reversal methods, an activated Energy Pillar can still be used as a bomb.
In such a situation, the power of a single Energy Pillar is not much worse than the nuclear bombs created by humans on Earth.
Optimus Prime and the others could not afford to be careless!
This was not the first time Optimus Prime had witnessed this scene with his own eyes, but he was still somewhat shocked.
He asked Wheeljack in a low voice: "Colonel, is Frenzy using a Space Bridge to transport these supplies?"
Optimus Prime did not know much about Space Bridge technology, but he had witnessed Sentinel Prime use it during the Cybertronian Civil War in the past.
According to his understanding, when a Space Bridge is activated, the party opening the Space Bridge must consume a massive amount of energy.
Even someone as strong as Optimus Prime's teacher—Sentinel Prime—would not easily use a Space Bridge even at his peak, because unless Energy Pillars were used to open the Space Bridge, relying solely on the energy within one's own Spark, even just transporting a few soldiers thousands of kilometers away would consume enough energy to drain an Advanced Warrior dry.
Wheeljack was staring intently at Sun Cheng, who was continuously producing numerous supplies as if performing a magic trick out of thin air.
Hearing Optimus Prime's inquiry, he subconsciously shook his head in denial.
"It's not!"
Wheeljack also had research on Space Bridges; although not as deep as Jetfire, he still understood some of the basics.
For a transport of materials on this scale by Sun Cheng, one would need to use Energy Pillars to open a stable wormhole; otherwise, the energy consumption alone would be enough to drain even a peak-era Sentinel Prime.
Moreover, he did not see even an unstable wormhole appear.
"This is not a Space Bridge... but a new technology unknown to us... very interesting. It gives me the feeling that it's somewhat like storing supplies in a special space in advance and then taking them out when needed..."
Wheeljack was indeed worthy of being called the second-greatest Scientist in the Autobot faction; his vast, ocean-like knowledge allowed him to vaguely infer some things just by visual observation.
It was a pity that no matter how fanatically he looked at Sun Cheng, Sun Cheng, having finished taking out all the weapons prepared for the trade with Optimus Prime, simply acted as if he did not see his expression.
"Lord Optimus Prime, please send someone to count the trade goods on our side!"
Sun Cheng made a gesture of invitation, Optimus Prime nodded, and Wheeljack and Ratchet immediately walked forward to quickly inspect them.
Not long after, confirming that they matched the trade goods previously agreed upon by both sides, Ratchet called out: "Leader, there is no problem!"
Only then did Optimus Prime wave his hand, and Ironhide immediately brought the black box to the two Decepticons.
Without needing a prompt from Sun Cheng, Leiting walked up knowingly, took the box from his hand, and carried it to Sun Cheng.
Opening it and scanning the box at close range, he saw the ten 【Matrix of Leadership】 energy crystals capable of resurrecting ten Advanced Warriors, and a joyful expression appeared on his face.
He immediately took the box from Leiting's hand and Sun Cheng stored it directly into his Spherical Space.
Then, smiling at Optimus Prime, he said, "Lord Optimus Prime and fellow Autobot friends, we are very happy to engage in a series of friendly cooperation with your side, and we hope that such cooperation and exchanges will become more frequent in the future. We will not stay any longer; we look forward to the next cooperation with you all."
Seeing that the Soul-Reaping Gun would soon be able to completely lift its restrictions, how could Sun Cheng hold back?
After greeting Optimus Prime and the others, he and Leiting leaped into the sky once more, one after the other transforming into two very similar-looking fighter jets, and flew proudly toward the high altitude.
Before long, Sun Cheng and his companion had disappeared from the field of vision of the Autobots.
Optimus Prime watched the two fighter jets fly away and looked at Ironhide beside him, "Did you recognize that Decepticon?"
"Leiting, I remember his electromagnetic spectrum. I didn't expect that after only a few months, he has also evolved into an Elite Warrior!"
"The resources in Frenzy's hands are far more than we imagined."
"This is not strange; the Autobots have always adhered to the principle of 'not interfering with humans, not provoking humans,' so our development speed here in Africa is much slower than that of the Decepticons!"
……
I am very sorry, I had intended to post three chapters a day for the past two days. However, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and since something happened at home this year, I have to visit all the relatives' houses myself, which delayed me a bit.
