Chapter 950: The Quintessons

"Is it really a transport device... How could Sentinel Prime possibly transport Autobots directly to Earth across a distance of several light-years?"

When the drone transmitted the captured footage to a fleet that had just entered the Mediterranean Sea, Sun Cheng also saw that heart-shaking scene for the first time.

"Transporting Autobots to Earth from the distant Cybertron, several light-years away?"

Thunder, who was with him, widened his eyes, his face also filled with disbelief.

Sun Cheng frowned and nodded slightly.

Anyone with even a slight concept of distance knows what a light-year represents.

Then, just look at the Autobots and Decepticons; the Decepticons and Autobots who arrived on Earth years or even longer ago had already sent the coordinates of Earth back to the planet Cybertron.

But even now, the number of Autobots and Decepticons that can reach Earth each month remains sparse.

The reason Optimus Prime's Autobot faction has welcomed over a thousand Autobots in the past two years...

... is thanks to the exhaustion of resources for the Autobots stranded on a satellite of Cybertron after their defeat in the civil war.

In order to continue the entire race, Optimus Prime had already ordered the Autobots over a hundred years ago to freely travel to various parts of the universe to search for resources and the missing former Leader, Sentinel Prime.

Therefore, the Autobots who came to join him in the past few years were all Wanderers who had left Cybertron over the past hundred years due to this order and drifted to the star region near the Solar System.

If they were truly departing from the planet Cybertron, the Cybertronians have already discovered and mastered some legendary wormholes, allowing their travel to save some time.

But to cross several light-years in just a few months, even with the technology from the most glorious period of Cybertronian civilization, it is hard to say whether it could be done.

Not to mention now, when Sentinel Prime seems to have used only some special devices powered by Energy Pillars to forcibly open a transport channel capable of spanning several light-years.

To achieve this step is no longer just a matter of individual technology.

Sun Cheng is not completely ignorant of the Space Bridge; after finding Jetfire, he peered into Jetfire's Memory Data at the first opportunity.

Because of the special protection mechanism of his body, a considerable portion of memories that were very important to Jetfire could not be read by outsiders unless they forcibly broke through that protection mechanism.

However, Sun Cheng did not return empty-handed; some related knowledge about the Space Bridge was also in the Memory Data he glimpsed.

Although not comprehensive, at least it made him no longer completely ignorant of Space Bridge technology.

With the related technology Sun Cheng has currently organized, Base No. 2 now also possesses the foundation to manufacture transport devices.

In his spare time, he also took the time to practice designing a set of transport devices, which he had handed over to the Decepticons under his command not long ago, preparing to start construction.

Setting aside whether there would be some problems in terms of stability and safety.

In terms of efficiency alone, Sun Cheng had no confidence in the set of transport devices he designed.

Because according to his calculations, the transport device he designed had a maximum single-unit transport weight of only a few kilograms, a distance of no more than five kilometers, and the transport channel could only be maintained for about ten seconds or so.

Moreover, that is the limit he could reach, having only just touched the surface of Space Bridge technology now.

That is why Sun Cheng could not believe that Sentinel Prime could directly open a transport channel leading to Cybertron.

In the footage continuously transmitted back by the drone, the circular hole above the ancient city of Cairo finally underwent a change after being open for a period of time.

With a ripple of water-like movement, a mass of distorted light and shadow broke through the circular hole, fell from mid-air, and smashed a crater into the ground.

Under the control of the Decepticons, the drone very aptly controlled the lens to zoom in, finally clearly capturing the appearance of that light and shadow that had rushed out of the circular hole first.

It was a mechanical Warrior that looked unremarkable, with a height of only about six or seven meters.

He had a ferocious face, and on his not-so-tall body, Sun Cheng only needed one glance to see traces of many weapons.

"Decepticon?"

Sun Cheng was somewhat surprised; although the drone did not capture the Decepticon insignia on the mechanical Warrior at the first moment, just from his face, which was obviously more ferocious than that of an Autobot, and that body which had clearly undergone insane modifications, it was not hard to guess his identity.

But soon, he knew he had guessed wrong.

It seemed that because of the long-distance transport, this guy suspected to be a Decepticon fell into cognitive confusion after rushing out of the transport channel.

After shaking his head, that guy of unknown identity suddenly raised his head, and a pair of blood-red electronic eyes first looked at Sentinel Prime, then immediately looked at Optimus Prime beside him.

Then, as if he had remembered some order, he suddenly let out a low roar like a beast.

The drone then captured that guy's arms suddenly raising, rapidly transforming into two cannons suspected to be of 45mm caliber, with the muzzles aimed at both Sentinel Prime and Optimus Prime, and he began to fire wildly.

"Hmm?"

Just as Sun Cheng was puzzled, several more masses of distorted light and shadow rushed out of the transport channel, falling to the ground like meteorites.

Being thousands of miles away, he might not be clear about what exactly happened at this moment.

But in the city of Cairo, the moment Optimus Prime was attacked by that unknown mechanical Warrior, a certain memory hidden within his body seemed to awaken.

He easily used his Shield to block the rapid-fire shells aimed at him, and on that face which was always serious, a rare emotion called anger appeared at this moment.

"Quintesson... Sentinel Prime... you traitor..."

Anger made Optimus Prime's face begin to look somewhat ferocious at this moment.

He glared at Sentinel Prime and threw his Heavy Sword violently; the huge force directly caused the Heavy Sword to pierce through the body of that ferocious mechanical Warrior, who did not seem to have much sanity, instantly stopping the shelling.

The Quintessons had colonized Cybertron for countless eons; during the long years of colonizing the planet Cybertron, they not only plundered countless resources from the planet Cybertron but also abducted a large number of Cybertronians as slaves, and used them as blueprints for various inhumane and cruel modifications.

The known first generation of Decepticons came from the hands of the Quintessons, being military-type slaves modified based on Cybertronians.

If it were not for that Cosmic Rust and the great uprising launched by the Cybertronians who could no longer bear the oppression, there would be no current Decepticons; there would only be military slaves from the planet Cybertron belonging to the colonial armies of the Quintessons.
