Chapter 874: The Giant Behemoth Hailishi (Part 1)

Sun Cheng did not yet know everything that had happened in the Far North snowy plains, and naturally, he knew even less about the Moon.

However, after ordering the Decepticons under his command to fire dozens of Temperature Difference Bombs using four Golden Eagle Fighters, and coordinating with the Autobots to strike a wave of Decepticons, his attention was no longer there.

After all, the Arctic Circle was too far from South America, and next to Great Canada was the United States, which held the largest nuclear arsenal; even if Sun Cheng wanted to intervene, he lacked the strength to do so.

Therefore, although satellites were still monitoring the Arctic Circle, keeping an eye on the further development of the situation.

Sun Cheng himself was no longer personally watching this matter.

He was very busy now; the clash between the Decepticons led by Blitzwing and the Americans in the Arctic Circle was not a very good sign for him.

Sun Cheng believed that such incidents would only become more frequent and numerous in the future.

In fact, from the moment Blitzwing and the others arrived in the Solar System and shortly thereafter dispatched Decepticons to raid the Black Market, he had already begun making preparations.

And now, one of Sun Cheng's important subordinates had finally undergone a complete transformation after nearly half a year of modifications.

Near Lake Titicaca, within an area designated as a military restricted zone by Bolivia.

At this moment, inside a giant oval-domed building, dozens of Workers and over a dozen Technical Officers were busy under the command of four Decepticon Engineers.

They were surrounding a giant mechanical warrior lying flat in the empty building, who stood over thirty meters tall; there were even a few Decepticon Technical Officers standing directly on the mechanical warrior's body.

Yet their height of three to four meters seemed insignificant on the mechanical warrior.

From this, it could be seen that this giant mechanical warrior was none other than Hailishi.

Sun Cheng stood in a corner of the modification workshop, staring unblinkingly at Hailishi, who was undergoing his final upgrade.

A Decepticon Engineer stood by his side, explaining the progress of the modification to him.

"Commander, in the first phase, we recast Lord Hailishi's body, replacing all the special steel alloy originally used on his frame with Titanium Alloy..."

Sun Cheng nodded, looking at the sleeping Hailishi, feeling a pang of heartache.

Titanium Alloy was not a metal created by the Cybertronians; it came from another interstellar civilization in the galaxy.

It is said that during the era of the Cybertronian Elder Council, the Cybertronians fought a war that lasted nearly a thousand years against another interstellar civilization to compete for alien colonies left behind by the Quintessons.

In the end, the other interstellar civilization was defeated and forced to sign an armistice agreement with the Cybertronians, paying a series of reparations.

Titanium Alloy was one of the many technologies that the interstellar civilization compensated the Cybertronian civilization with; it is a strong titanium alloy with a relatively complex forging process, and because the pronunciation of 'titanium' in the Cybertronian language is 'Titanium', it got this name.

This alloy is excellent; it is harder than special steel alloy, has a higher melting point, and is corrosion-resistant, which is why it was favored by Cybertronians and widely applied to the bodies of Cybertronians above the rank of Advanced Warrior.

Although the formula for Titanium Alloy is no secret to the Autobots and Decepticons.

However, with the depletion of resources on the planet Cybertron, this metal became extremely precious by the middle and late stages of the Civil War.

With Sun Cheng's current forces, the total amount of Titanium Alloy he could synthesize each month would not exceed one hundred tons.

Yet this time, to upgrade Hailishi's new body, over a thousand tons were used at once.

It was no wonder Sun Cheng felt heartache.

That Decepticon Engineer clearly did not know his current mood and continued to explain to him.

"... Although we wanted to create a more powerful Spark for Lord Hailishi, limited by current technology, we could only use a stock Spark from an Elite Warrior, which we tuned and slightly modified before installing it for Lord Hailishi... At the same time, to ensure Lord Hailishi's powerful combat endurance, we equipped his new body with an Auxiliary Power System previously designed for you, Commander..."

The Decepticons under Sun Cheng had not yet mastered mature Spark cultivation technology.

After all, for Cybertronians, a Spark is just like a human heart.

The Decepticon Engineers at Base No. 2 initially had no technology regarding Spark cultivation.

Later, because Sun Cheng held several fragments of the AllSpark, his Decepticon Engineers gradually summarized some experience while using the fragments to induce the birth of newborn Decepticons, and only then began to slowly use AllSpark fragments to cultivate Sparks.

However, unlike the rapid maturation of Decepticon cultivation that came later after obtaining a large amount of newborn Decepticon cultivation technology from Scalpel.

The difficulty of specifically cultivating a Spark is far greater than directly cultivating newborn Decepticons.

The Decepticon Engineers under Sun Cheng had gone through more than two years of repeated experiments, and so far, they could only cultivate Level 1-2 Sparks that could be replaced for Ordinary Warriors or Decepticons in technical professions.

Moreover, the success rate of Spark cultivation had yet to exceed forty percent, and there was only a less than one percent chance of accidentally cultivating a Level 3 Spark.

Because of this, the Decepticons under his command who wanted to promote to Advanced Warrior, Senior Engineer, or higher had to find other ways.

Fortunately, Sun Cheng and his team found a way out, which was to seize them from other Decepticons and Autobots.

Yes, this was also the reason why Sun Cheng had always been keen on recovering the remains of Decepticons and Autobots after battles.

Not only to decipher the secrets of their bodies, but also to extract large amounts of precious metals and rare materials from their remains.

Most importantly, any Decepticon's Memory Chip and Spark were very precious strategic materials for Sun Cheng, who started from scratch in this world.

Sun Cheng nodded upon hearing this, his expression very solemn.

This was also an important reason why he had always tried his best to win over the Autobots and avoid being enemies with both the Autobots and the Decepticon Legion at the same time.

Relying on various means and also possessing resources from two worlds, although Sun Cheng had developed rapidly over the past three years, he had already become a powerful force on Earth in the Transformers universe.

However, his foundation was still far inferior to the Autobots and the Decepticon Legion.

Base No. 2 could now mass-produce ordinary Decepticon Warriors, but Sun Cheng's desire to cultivate warriors above the Advanced level was still strictly limited by Sparks.

Even for himself, if the Spark in his body had not been embedded with a piece of an AllSpark fragment that had exhausted its energy by the Decepticon Engineers he commanded.

And then, after transferring his own Memory Chip to a new body, he infused energy into the Spark of the new body, inducing the fragment to cause his own Spark to mutate, only then did he obtain a Spark that could barely support the consumption of his current body.

Even so, Sun Cheng knew his own situation best.

The quality of the Spark in his body was vastly inferior to those of true Leader-class Warriors like Optimus Prime and Megatron.

It was only until now that Sun Cheng finally understood why the Decepticons and Autobots would develop technology related to Giant Combiners instead of directly cultivating the Primitive Titans and Predacons they favored more.

He suspected that even the Spark of a Leader-class Warrior might not be able to provide sufficient energy for such a behemoth.

After all, in the ancient legends of Cybertron, during the first Cybertronian Civil War, the appearance of three Primitive Titans as tall as mountain peaks forced the Autobots and Decepticons to end their battle.
