Chapter 974: Sky Bridge

"Commander, the Awakening of Lord Jetfire is currently proceeding steadily according to plan."

"Regarding Lord Jetfire's New Body, the design and construction have reached approximately 61% of the original target. We expect that in about four more weeks, we will be able to attempt the New Body's faster!"

A Decepticon Engineer responsible for Jetfire's life support explained to Sun Cheng, who listened patiently, then nodded slightly to indicate he already knew.

The New Body designed for Jetfire is being manufactured entirely according to the body of a Leader-class Warrior.

Because Jetfire is a Scientist, Sun Cheng also saw in his Memory Data Jetfire's hatred for Megatron and his aversion to war.

Furthermore, he was worried that if he designed a body that was too powerful for this former great Scientist of Cybertron, it would create an additional powerful opponent should he refuse to serve him after being Awakened.

Therefore, although the New Body designed for Jetfire would reach Leader-class, the Decepticon Engineers, under Sun Cheng's hint, did not design enough weapon systems within his body.

Four weeks or so is not a long time for Sun Cheng.

Designing and manufacturing a body for a Leader-class Warrior is not an easy task; otherwise, Megatron, who had been dormant on the Moon for nearly a year since being saved, would have been out jumping around long ago.

After staying for a while in the Laboratory specifically prepared for Jetfire's Awakening, Sun Cheng left.

Before leaving, he proactively contacted the Smart Brain of the Central Main Control Base—Huan, "Huan, how is the Sky Bridge Project coming along?"

"Lord Commander, I do not have the authority to access the core data of that project. But according to the information uploaded to my database, the project is currently proceeding very smoothly."

"I see!"

Sun Cheng quickly leaped into the sky, transformed into flight mode, and flew rapidly toward another secret Sub-base more than 170 kilometers away.

Not long after, his figure appeared in the sky above the location. Because he had notified the Commander in charge of guarding this Sub-base in advance, the anti-aircraft alert system was not triggered.

He arrived at this Sub-base, which had just been renovated not long ago, and Frenzy had already walked out from inside.

"Commander!"

Frenzy had not seen him for a while, so he appeared very excited.

"How is the Sky Bridge Project coming along?"

"The Engineers have used the Pseudo-AI to simulate the experiment thousands of times, accumulating a massive amount of data. They have even conducted three small-scale real experiments, and all of them were successful!"

A look of excitement could not help but appear on Sun Cheng's face.

The so-called 'Sky Bridge Project' is a project targeting the massive amount of technology related to the Space Bridge that he extracted from Sentinel Prime's Memory Data not long ago.

Sun Cheng then gathered a group of Decepticon Engineers and Senior Engineers under his command, pooling their efforts to digest, absorb, and attempt to apply it on a large scale in a super project.

Regarding long-distance teleportation, especially cross-stellar teleportation, he wished he could create it immediately.

Once the Space Bridge technology is mastered, in the near term, it can realize the cross-regional transport of supplies and troops within Earth.

After further progress in the future, Sun Cheng could even build Sub-bases on Earth, Mars, and even other suitable planets within the Solar System, and set up portals on them.

When needed, he and all his Decepticons could cross hundreds of millions of kilometers in a short time through those transport channels to reach any planet in the Solar System.

This project is undoubtedly important to Sun Cheng and his team.

For this reason, he had to pull a batch of Decepticon Engineers and Senior Engineers from other projects to participate in this one.

He even ordered the breeding center that cultivates the new generation of Decepticons to tilt the allocated Worker quota toward the 'Sky Bridge Project' for a period of time in the future.

Sun Cheng did all this for a beautiful future!

In the short term, he dared not hope to be like Sentinel Prime, who could teleport Quintesson soldiers hiding in some corner of the universe to Earth.

Sun Cheng would be very satisfied if he could just link the entire Solar System together.

Unable to suppress the anticipation in his heart, Sun Cheng ordered.

"Take me to see it, and by the way, ask the Decepticon Engineer in charge if we can conduct a real experiment now!"

"Okay Commander, please follow me, I will contact them right now!"

Under Frenzy's guidance, Sun Cheng soon arrived at a fully enclosed underground steel building.

In the spacious underground steel building, a large number of Decepticon Engineers were busy working at this time.

As soon as Sun Cheng approached, he felt a massive amount of information constantly being transmitted around him.

This is a means used by Decepticon Engineers to exchange information and ideas with each other.

They built a local communication network, and then with just a thought, ideas from different individuals would be uploaded and exchanged within this communication network, read by others, and receive feedback, and eventually, everyone would gain something from it.

"Commander, you are here!"

Waving his hand to stop the salutes of the Engineers who noticed his arrival, compared to these superficial courtesies, what Sun Cheng cared about most now was the absorption efficiency of his Decepticon Engineers regarding the Space Bridge technology.

The entire Base briefly suspended regional exchanges of technology and inspiration with Sun Cheng's arrival.

Soon, Atlas, who had been transferred to be in charge of this project, hurried over to report to Sun Cheng.

"Commander, everything regarding the Sky Bridge Project has been progressing smoothly so far. As of now, we have conducted three related experiments."

"However, because the 'Sky Bridge Project' involves the spatial aspect, our accumulation in this field is very small; we can only borrow a little from the relevant experience of Earthlings while intensifying the absorption of the data you provided."

"Therefore, our previous three experiments were all conducted with a cautious attitude. The teleportation distance of the first experiment was only 100 meters, and the weight of the transported item was 10 kilograms. The experiment was very successful; we successfully teleported the target to the designated area."

"The second time, we extended the teleportation distance to 3 kilometers, and the weight of the transported item was also increased to 200 kilograms. The experiment was still very successful, without any deviation."

"And for the third experiment, we increased the teleportation distance again, setting it to 10 kilometers, and the weight of the item was also increased to 500 kilograms; the experiment was still a success!"

"And after this, we intend to be a bit bolder. We are preparing to increase the distance to 50 kilometers and increase the weight of the transported item to 5 tons for the upcoming fourth experiment."
