Chapter 990: Awakening

Sun Cheng's gaze lingered briefly on the headless body with the split chest, then he looked away.

"Prepare to replace Jetfire's New Body!"

He reminded them!

"Yes!" Kongsi nodded, and with a wave of his hand, three Decepticon Engineers who had been prepared for a long time walked over.

Surrounding Jetfire's New Body, the three Decepticon Engineers—one lifting the torso, two each carrying a leg—quickly moved it into the Laboratory onto a metal platform that slowly rose from the ground.

"Commander, please wait a moment; I need to participate in this surgery myself!"

"Mm!"

Following Sun Cheng's nod, Kongsi also stepped forward and began to busy himself.

He watched carefully from the side; for the four Decepticon Engineers to replace Jetfire's body was not an easy task, and at the very least, there was a certain level of danger involved in the process.

The body checks handled by the other three Decepticon Engineers were fine, but they needed to deal with the potential rejection reactions that might occur after Jetfire's Brain, spine, and Spark were transplanted together into the New Body.

This was no joke!

For Cybertronians, replacing a New Body was actually the same as humans replacing body organs or even undergoing brain surgery; rejection reactions existed in all of them.

It was just that, unlike current human technology, they could not yet fundamentally eliminate rejection reactions by modifying cell structures or even deeper genomic information when such reactions appeared.

Cybertronian technology could already resolve rejection reactions as much as possible, although there would still be some aftereffects.

For example, after replacing a New Body with a relatively strong rejection reaction, more time would be needed to adapt to the New Body.

Sun Cheng paid close attention to every technological development within the Transformers multiverse. Although he was not a professional Scientist, he was never stingy about reading and absorbing the various technologies mastered by his subordinates, preparing to digest them and bring them back to the real world.

Thanks to this effort, he also knew the experiments Kongsi and the others were conducting like the back of his hand.

Unlike Sun Cheng's own few body replacements in the past, where he had directly transplanted a Memory Chip that retained a large amount of data.

They did not have the ability to recreate a powerful Spark for Jetfire, so they could only adopt a conservative approach.

Kongsi had the deepest research in the medical field, so the most critical transplant of Jetfire's Brain, spine, and Spark for the body replacement was handled by him.

After the three Decepticons placed Jetfire's body, they all extended their arms, and countless bone joints flew out from their arms, quickly submerging into Jetfire's body.

"Ready!"

They looked at each other, then looked at Kongsi in unison.

Later, to prevent the body from having a rejection reaction, these three Decepticon Engineers would be fully responsible for suppression and guidance.

After Kongsi received an affirmative answer from them, he nodded, then reached forward, and countless bone joints resembling liquid metal quickly covered the culture tank.

Without seeing any further movement from him, Sun Cheng saw the nutrient solution manufactured for Cybertronians inside the culture tank quickly disappear.

Soon, the crystal cover around the culture tank was opened, and at the same time, more metal bone joints flew out from Kongsi's body, and in less than three seconds, they quickly transported Jetfire's Brain, spine, and Spark to the top of the New Body.

"Coordinate with me!"

He commanded.

The scarlet light in the eyes of the three Decepticon Engineers intensified simultaneously.

Then, Jetfire's New Body seemed to come alive; it quickly writhed and parted at the crack in the chest, and at the same time, many fine bone joints extended out from within his body.

Kongsi slowly controlled Jetfire's Brain, spine, and Spark, placing them onto those fine bone joints.

At the same time, a large number of bone joints quickly separated from his own body and inserted into Jetfire's New Body.

It was truly miraculous; as Jetfire's Brain, spine, and Spark connected with the fine bone joints extending from the New Body.

His New Body began to tremble violently, as if convulsing.

"The rejection reaction is very strong, prepare to guide it!" Kongsi roared with difficulty.

Countless bone joints immediately shot out from the bodies of the four Decepticon Engineers and Senior Engineer, quickly inserting into Jetfire's New Body.

Sun Cheng noticed that some subtle patterns were constantly flashing in the eyes of the four Decepticons.

He keenly captured a few of them; they were patterns more profound than the Cybertronian Elder Script.

That was not text; it was the source of life for Cybertronians, a kind of miraculous information they called "information," which Sun Cheng had not even managed to crack one-billionth of until now.

It was like the soul in human legends, giving Cybertronians life and turning every impossibility into a possibility.

"I remember that the AllSpark also contains this miraculous information... It seems that after we can step out of the Solar System in the future, I need to use the Soul-Suppressing Gun to recreate an AllSpark to study its true secrets!"

In the cognition of Cybertronians, information was like their soul and the source of their life.

The reason the AllSpark could transform machines on Earth into Decepticons was precisely because it could input the information inside into those machines, thereby endowing them with life.

Even if that endowment, in Sun Cheng's view, was actually incomplete.

But this process was like the theory of evolution, where the ancient ancestors of humans moved from the ocean to the land.

At that time, they might never have imagined that hundreds of millions of years later, one of their branches would evolve from apes into ancient humans, thus giving birth to the highly intelligent species of humans, and eventually creating human civilization.

As if sensing his inner thoughts, Sun Cheng instantly felt a weapon that had been silent for a long time in his body vibrate rapidly, as if responding to him.

And just as Sun Cheng was about to try to communicate with the Soul-Suppressing Gun again, his attention was once again attracted by the scene in front of him.

On the metal platform in the Laboratory not far away, the violent rejection reaction caused Jetfire's body to constantly twist, convulse, and tremble on the metal platform.

But under the control of Kongsi and the others, Jetfire's Brain, spine, and Spark were still merging with the New Body bit by bit.

Now it looked like someone had been cruelly disemboweled, with someone directly inserting into the chest cavity, pulling out the heart along with the spine and Brain; how hideous it was.

The violent rejection reaction meant that Jetfire's Brain, spine, and Spark had not been able to merge into the New Body, always remaining mostly exposed.

Even though the Laboratory was full of Decepticons, one could hear the sound of gasps of cold air from time to time.

"Pay attention to coordinating with me!"

Replacing the New Body seemed to have reached a very critical step, following Kongsi's sudden, fierce shout.

Thick white smoke rose from the four Decepticons simultaneously, and some azure electric arcs constantly jumped along the countless bone joints connecting them to Jetfire's New Body, quickly submerging into Jetfire's New Body.

Finally, Jetfire's Brain, spine, and Spark, which had been deadlocked with the New Body for half a day, began to merge into the New Body bit by bit.

Soon, accompanied by the armor at the chest writhing and closing up.

One Decepticon Engineer was the first to be unable to hold on, interrupting the bone joint connection with Jetfire's New Body and collapsing onto the floor nearby.

Then came the second, and the third!

In the end, only Kongsi remained, still attempting to continue helping him resolve the not-yet-fully-cleared rejection reaction.

And just at this moment, on the metal platform, Tianhuo, who had originally kept his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
