Chapter 840: Replica Warrior—Ravage

Magnifying Glass received Sun Cheng's praise, and in his excitement, the expression on his face became even more ferocious.

He had actually noticed long ago that Decepticons seemed to look more ferocious and tough than Autobots from the moment they were born.

For a time, Sun Cheng had been thinking about setting up a project team specifically to study this issue.

But later, there were simply too many things he needed to be busy with, and coupled with the fact that he didn't have that many hands available to use, this thought gradually faded away.

"Perhaps the Decepticons' appearance issue, along with the nameplates that are bound to appear on them and the Autobots, is like the yellow, white, and black races on Earth—a problem at the level of human genetics!"

After exchanging a few words with Magnifying Glass for a moment, Sun Cheng encouraged him a few times and, while he was at it, put forward some of his own thoughts and suggestions; he did not stay at the airport for too long and soon left the airport.

It had been said that the Armed Transport Ship could only be considered the one with the lowest gold content among the batch of projects about to be harvested; naturally, there were more eye-catching things to come.

The achievement that satisfied Sun Cheng the most was, without a doubt, the Mars Base.

Although he had previously sent two batches of Decepticons there first, and at the same time had successively purchased four batches of various minerals from this world's Earth and the real world.

However, developing the Mars Base was actually still very difficult.

The biggest difficulty was the lack of chemical fuel needed for industrial development there; at least before he returned from Mars the second time, the Mars Base had successively dispatched more than a dozen batches of mineral exploration teams, but they had never been able to find fossil fuels like coal or oil.

But this predicament was resolved more than two months ago.

After more than half a year of bitter searching, the exploration team at the Mars Base not only found two uranium mines with decent reserves, but at the same time, near an impact crater, they discovered that the soil there contained relatively rich Helium-3.

Although it was far from being comparable to the Helium-3 reserves on the Moon, the industrial energy problem that had always been unsolvable on Mars was finally resolved.

The first small nuclear power plant had already been built and put into use, and the second, third, and fourth were already being planned and constructed.

More and more Underground Ice Lakes and underground rivers were discovered, which also solved the industrial water problem at the Mars Base.

The final report sent back from Mars fourteen days ago showed that they had already begun attempting to cultivate Decepticon Workers.

For Sun Cheng, there was probably no news more wonderful than this.

Once the snowball of development on Mars started rolling, the effect would be very considerable.

Perhaps one day in the future, when Sun Cheng was uprooted from all his power on Earth by the Decepticon Legion, he might have to rely on the Mars Base to make a comeback.

Of course, this was his judgment under the most pessimistic situation regarding the situation.

Given the complexity within the Decepticon Legion, Sun Cheng was confident that he would be accepted back there again once he demonstrated sufficient strength and resilience.

Do not think that such a thing is impossible; in fact, from the beginning of its formation, the Decepticon Legion was a concentration camp for ambitious people and conspirators; Starscream's repeated rebellions and subsequent forgiveness was the best example.

But Sun Cheng's situation was more troublesome; he did not cause much damage to the interests of the Decepticon Legion, but his influence on Megatron's threat and authority was too great.

Given that Tyrant's consistent performance, the possibility of him being accepted back was very low.

However, these were not things Sun Cheng needed to worry about now; being accepted back by the Decepticon Legion had more disadvantages than advantages for him.

The most urgent task was to further strengthen his own power and influence; this was the survival law of the Decepticons.

And among the several achievements about to be harvested, although they could not compare to the Mars Base finally getting on the right track.

There were two projects that were particularly significant for the improvement of Sun Cheng's forces.

The first was that the replica warrior modeled after the Predacon—Ravage had finally been successfully cultivated.

The second was that Sun Cheng's subordinates would soon possess two more Elite Warriors!

After coming out of the tarmac, he quickly headed toward the Number Three Cultivation Center.

The Number Three Cultivation Center was located more than fifty kilometers away from the Central Control Center; due to safety considerations, it was also built inside a mountain belly that was difficult to destroy.

The Decepticon Workers directed the Engineering Robots and had already hollowed out almost all the mountain bellies dominated by solid rock within a hundred kilometers of the initial Base No. 2; one after another, scientific research centers, laboratories, and even important factories were all hidden inside the mountain bellies.

When Sun Cheng arrived at the Number Three Cultivation Center, Huan's robot avatar had already been waiting here for some time.

"Commander, please follow me!"

He nodded and followed behind the robot avatar of the Base No. 2 Central Main Control Intelligence—Huan, entering into the Number Three Cultivation Center.

The Number Three Cultivation Center had already been established before the battle to encircle and suppress Soundwave.

This place was initially a laboratory where Sun Cheng's Decepticon Engineers studied replica warrior technology.

Later, after he successfully joined forces with the Autobots to encircle and suppress Soundwave and the others on Trindade Island, Sun Cheng's Decepticon Engineers believed that Ravage, who came from the same 【Cassette Corps】 as him, was the most suitable prototype to be cultivated into a replica warrior.

Afterward, its remains were sent here and had been studied for a long time, until some Decepticon Engineers believed they had mastered the secrets of the Predacon—Ravage, and the cultivation of the final replica warrior officially kicked off here.

Under the guidance of Huan's robot avatar, Sun Cheng quickly passed through layers of verification and entered the cultivation center.

As an important research institution within the base, an Advanced Warrior was arranged to be stationed here.

Seeing Sun Cheng, Frenzy hurriedly walked up and respectfully saluted: "Commander, welcome to the Number Three Cultivation Center for inspection!"

He nodded slightly, passed the alloy door guarded by Frenzy, and entered the cultivation center behind it; he soon saw Decepticon Workers and Technical Officers, and even several Decepticon Engineers, busy in the huge laboratory of the cultivation center.

This was a place that looked exactly like a gene cultivation bank on Earth; as soon as Sun Cheng entered, he saw huge cylindrical cultivation tanks, each three meters high and about five meters in diameter, densely occupying nearly half the area of the cultivation center.

His eyes swept around; there were forty cultivation tanks in total.

In each cultivation tank, a Ravage was currently sleeping in a specially prepared Energy Liquid.

Sun Cheng examined them carefully and could see that the Ravages in six of the cultivation tanks were close to completing cultivation; their similarity to the Ravage he had once fought in his memory exceeded eighty percent.

As for the other cultivation tanks, some of the Ravages were only the size of puppies, clearly still in the initial stage of cultivation.

Some Ravages looked like jackals on Earth; they should have been cultivated for a period of time, but compared to when they were fully mature, with a body length of over three meters and a height of nearly one point five meters, they still needed to wait for a period of time.

And it was no surprise that this was the case.

Because the Ravage chosen by Sun Cheng's Decepticon Engineers as the prototype for the replica warrior was a Predacon with strength comparable to an Advanced Warrior.

Cultivating an Advanced Warrior from scratch was not a small amount of resources consumed.

PS:

One update should continue for another day or two; there has been a tricky matter at home recently, and I should be able to finish it in these two days.
