Chapter 820: Adjustments

Trindade Island, the pearl of the South Atlantic Ocean.

I do not know since when, this once-ignored barren island suddenly gained this nickname on Earth.

Although not many people know of it, that does not prevent it from being frequently cited on the dark web and in some encrypted communications.

Xianxingzhe sits in command of this island, and as usual, not needing to personally participate in every transaction, he made his customary patrol of the island.

This is a habit he developed after waking up from changing into his New Body and hearing that the island had once suffered an invasion.

Deeply influenced by Sun Cheng's personality, Xianxingzhe now must carefully inspect the island's security systems every day before his mood can settle.

The visible parts of the island seem not to have changed much from the past.

The buildings constructed for humans who come to the island to purchase various mechanical equipment to stay in are still concentrated in the southeast corner of the island.

The buildings originally constructed there had already been mostly destroyed during the previous invasion by the Replica Legion.

The subsequent reconstruction was done in the original locations, even using the original blueprints, so the changes are almost imperceptible.

The only thing to speak of is that when the Replica Warriors invaded, some small hills nearby that had not been destroyed were damaged to varying degrees during the battle.

Sun Cheng simply had the Decepticons blow all those hills flat during the battle and established over a dozen helicopter pads and two hangars there.

The visible parts of the island have not changed much, but the invisible parts have changed much more.

Because it is a volcanic island, the bedrock of Trindade Island is quite hard.

Coupled with the fact that the submarine volcano beneath the island had been absorbed by the Forge of Solus Prime for many years, the activity of the underground magma is severely insufficient, and it is expected that it is unlikely to erupt for at least several thousand years.

Consequently, the Decepticons, stimulated by the previous invasion, carried out a frantic transformation of this island, which has a total area of only a dozen square kilometers.

Because the exposure of some underwater tunnels and the base inside the mountain during the previous evacuation of personnel from various countries, Sun Cheng began to drastically redesign the island after the battle of the Replica Warrior invasion.

The base, which was originally concentrated only in the bellies of a few higher mountains on the island, has now expanded its construction scale to more areas of the island.

A large number of underground tunnels built with high-strength cement, reinforced concrete, and even metal plates have crisscrossed hundreds of meters deep beneath the island, and several larger-scale underground building complexes have taken shape.

In the future, even if they encounter another Replica Warrior invasion, it will be enough to temporarily transfer the personnel on the island to the underground shelters, without needing to transfer them to nearby islands as they did last time.

The most frantic transformation the Decepticons made to the island was the deployment of four land-based missile vertical launch systems, which were improved and built based on the ship-borne missile vertical launch systems on Hailishi.

These four land-based missile vertical launch systems were improved and manufactured by several Decepticon Engineers under Sun Cheng who specialize in researching and digesting Earth's military technology.

Do not think that moving them directly from a ship to the shore does not involve much technical content; on the contrary, because of the change in environment, everything from fire control to other series of interface systems needs to change accordingly.

Although changing from a ship-borne vertical launch system to a land-based one saves quite a bit of work compared to designing a new set, it is not easy either.

However, compared to the mobile Anti-Aircraft Systems on the island, the four land-based missile vertical launch systems are not only safer but also have more sufficient ammunition reserves, gradually becoming an important part of the island's defense system.

Soon finishing the patrol, Xianxingzhe walked toward the command center of the Sub-base.

Above the low altitude of several hundred meters, a few aerial combat robots flew by from time to time.

These aerial combat robots, which Sun Cheng originally designed for his Private Legion, have now become the eyes and an important aerial combat force on Trindade Island.

Currently, there are four groups of aerial combat robots arranged to patrol Trindade Island daily, with twelve in each group, all controlled by the Decepticon Warriors on the island.

Yes!

With this short period of peace, Sun Cheng carried out a series of major adjustments to his subordinates.

After his adjustments, the security, defense, and military operation command authority of all major Sub-bases were all handed over to the Decepticon Warriors under his command.

However, Workers who intend to become Warriors and have already received fifty days of training and started twenty days of combat skill training can also have early contact with work related to security, defense, and military operations under the premise of insufficient manpower.

To encourage more Workers to choose to become spies, spying was not classified as a technical profession but was listed among combat professions, so its status is also slightly higher than that of the technical direction.

As for the technical-oriented Decepticon Workers, they will only be responsible for a series of industrial-related work from mining to smelting, from mechanical design to manufacturing; or engage in fields related to medicine, scientific research, etc.

In terms of management, Sun Cheng also began to seriously distinguish the originally chaotic management system.

The Smart Brain is responsible for the release of various Tasks, chores, and basic facility operations of each Sub-base, but the power to maintain and issue orders is held by the management layer.

As for base management, technical and scientific research aspects are the responsibility of Decepticon Engineers, while security and defense are the responsibility of Decepticon Warriors.

Decepticons are easier to discipline than Autobots; the strict hierarchical system greatly suppresses the autonomy of every Decepticon, making them more inclined to obey power.

It is worth mentioning that because Sun Cheng's subordinates have always tilted resources toward technical professions like Decepticon Engineers, especially after the previous Replica Warrior invasion broke out, there were dozens of Decepticon Warrior casualties.

Afterwards, the choice of Bili, who had originally chosen to promote autonomously, where the ratio of technical professions to combat professions was once close to 2:8, began to gradually fall back to 6:4.

This is a very good self-adjustment; not every Decepticon is a qualified Warrior.

Within the Decepticon Legion, there is no lack of Decepticons who possess the strength of an Advanced Warrior or even an Elite Warrior, but who do not have the corresponding temperament and will.

Through such self-adjustment, some Warriors with weak wills can be screened out.

At the same time, it also allows more abundant labor to enter various technical professional positions, so that the development of the base does not become unbalanced.

Through a series of adjustments, the development momentum of Sun Cheng's subordinates is now rising instead of falling, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

Trindade Island, where Xianxingzhe is stationed, is the first place to enjoy all of this.

The Black Market on the island and the transactions between Earth's various countries are now handled by a group of technical-professional Decepticons specially trained to learn trade and finance on Earth. At the same time, the spy organization led by Mola has also sent a team of spies to actively develop spies in various human countries on the island.

Unless it is for important meetings or needs related to security and defense, the thing Xianxingzhe does most in his spare time is active training to fully adapt to his New Body as soon as possible.

Until this day...

I am very sorry, it is near the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people have been visiting every night these past two days.
