#617 - Chapter 54: Peering Behind the Scenes
At this point, the tension between the two sides escalated once again, making a new round of fierce conflict inevitable.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly urgent, Shockwave decisively went to the universe to seek out and gather the legion forces that originally belonged to him for reinforcements.
On the other side, Optimus Prime, as the leader of the Autobots, also deeply understood the importance of Earth, and he also rushed to Earth without hesitation. Bumblebee was the vanguard.
Next is the beginning of the story, and Megatron, who had been frozen for a long time, was finally able to see the light of day again. However, Megatron, who had just been released from the ban, was unable to take any action before being reimbursed by Liu Yuan's Spirit Bomb.
After Megatron was resurrected, he was summoned by The Fallen. Now that there was a weapon of mass destruction like the Star Harvester, Sentinel Prime and his Space Bridge technology could take a back seat.
Unfortunately, this seemingly beautiful scene did not last long. The Fallen, whom it had placed high hopes on, turned out to be so fragile in battle that he was easily defeated and destroyed by the resurrected Optimus Prime in an instant.
At the same time, Megatron himself was also severely damaged, and he was too wounded to fight, so he had to flee the battlefield in panic. When he regrouped and prepared to rise again, he was shocked to find that the Decepticons' important base on Saturn's moon Titan had disappeared out of thin air! The precious resources accumulated over the years had also vanished without a trace.
At this point, the resources Megatron had at his disposal were so scarce that they could not meet the conditions required to awaken Sentinel Prime. Moreover, there were not enough supplies to heal his own injuries.
In this dilemma, Megatron had no choice but to instruct those human traitors who had defected to them to pass false information to Optimus Prime, hoping to use Optimus Prime's hand to complete the task of awakening Sentinel Prime.
In the initial stage, everything seemed to be progressing in an orderly manner according to Megatron's plan. Optimus Prime was indeed fooled as expected, and stepped into the trap step by step, and Sentinel Prime was successfully awakened. But just when everyone thought the situation was about to turn around, something unexpected happened - the key Control Pillar used to activate the Space Bridge was missing!
Faced with this sudden change, Megatron felt extremely depressed and annoyed, but now that the arrow was on the string, he had no choice but to do his best to assist Sentinel Prime in continuing forward, hoping to find a turning point in the subsequent development and regain the lost advantage.
The Santa Clara Valley, south of the San Francisco Bay Area, also has a resounding name - Silicon Valley. It is also the most concentrated area of the electronics industry in the United States. According to statistics, there are more than 1,500 computer companies alone.
Silicon Valley is based on a group of high-tech small and medium-sized companies, and also has large companies such as Oracle, Cisco, HP, Facebook, and Tesla, integrating science, technology, and production. Unlike other bustling, noisy, and high-rise cities, this land full of innovation and technology does not have many towering skyscrapers. Most of the buildings here are relatively low, generally no more than six floors.
Among the many buildings, a game company called Starcraft is particularly eye-catching. The office building used by this company has only four floors, but surprisingly, its underground part has as many as six floors! Especially the deepest floor, which is more than seventy meters deep underground. However, for some special reasons, the company stipulates that employees are prohibited from entering at will from the third floor.
At this moment, this deepest space located deep underground appears unusually wide, with a height of up to an astonishing twenty meters. Above the three-story platform, countless computer cabinets are closely arranged, like a forest made of metal. At this moment, the equipment in these cabinets is flashing a faint blue light, accompanied by a slight buzzing sound, and is obviously running at full speed.
Suddenly, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in this mysterious space, and they slowly walked into the central control room. In the room, a dozen robots of various shapes were busy in an orderly manner. They seemed to be completely indifferent to the two intruders, and didn't even bother to raise their heads.
In the center of the entire hall, there is a large display screen, which constantly switches between various pictures. In those specially enlarged screens, you can clearly see the figures of Megatron and his Decepticons. Judging from the shooting angle of these pictures, there is no doubt that this is the perspective of Sentinel Prime himself.
Hearing that Sentinel Prime intends to transform the Control Pillar, the people in the hall all smiled. The man said: "Aurora, the master is very concerned about this technology. You must record all of Sentinel Prime's next actions clearly. If there are any mistakes, you can explain it to the master yourself!"
A projection appeared in the air, the appearance of a human boy. He rolled his eyes at the two of them and said: "Ravage, although you are my senior, in my field, you, a layman, should not interfere. I basically understand the technology of the Space Bridge, and the only thing I need is Sentinel Prime's underlying core code, so that I can tamper with it. Sentinel Prime's control authority." This Aurora is the supercomputer that Liu Yuan snatched from Princeton University four years ago.
Because he had acquired the knowledge brought by The Fallen, Liu Yuan had a certain understanding of some source texts, and he was now able to control the power of the AllSpark to a certain extent. Moreover, Liu Yuan also had the ability to edit and transform even the newly transformed Transformers, even without the help of external tools such as incubators, he could still control the professional attributes of these Transformers, so that they would not be Decepticons as soon as they were transformed.
After countless repeated experiments, Liu Yuan finally successfully transformed the supercomputer using the AllSpark. However, due to the supercomputer's own mass defects, in order to make up for this shortcoming, Liu Yuan did not hesitate to send all the Decepticon wreckage he had painstakingly collected in the early stage into the furnace, melt it down again, and put it into it.
When Aurora's huge body is fully unfolded, it covers an area of nearly two square kilometers! And if Aurora transforms into a human form, it will become an ultra-large Transformer with a height of more than 200 meters and a width of 60 meters. Liu Yuan, this naming waste, even lazy to bother to think about a new name, directly used the name "Aurora".
As Liu Yuan had expected, Aurora showed extraordinary scientific research talent. In addition, its unimaginable super computing power as an auxiliary, made its research and development efficiency so amazing that it was enough to offset the achievements of hundreds of professional research teams working at the same time.
No matter what research direction Liu Yuan gave, Aurora could always quickly grasp its core points, and independently complete a series of complex and tedious work processes such as project establishment and subsequent group research. With its help, Liu Yuan's analysis of the source text progressed very quickly.
The thick cement walls and the lead plates inside completely blocked the huge radiation source emitted by Aurora itself. Neither Decepticon nor human detection equipment could find it.
This game company called Starcraft is actually a cover that Liu Yuan cleverly laid out. He created this seemingly ordinary enterprise to cover up the unknown secrets underground. Ravage also successfully replaced a brand new body and chose a human appearance as a disguise. Now, it has transformed into the company president together with the previous Alice. Not only that, but three other similar lurking Transformers have also joined in, jointly managing the company's daily operations and management work.
Speaking of Space Bridge technology, this technology had already begun to be applied in the Golden Age of Cybertron. At that time, the Space Bridge relied on two huge devices to work together. When they were activated at the same time, they could instantly create a channel connecting different spaces. However, due to various restrictions, the volume of objects that could be transmitted through this channel each time was relatively small. Therefore, in the beginning, the Space Bridge was mainly used for the rapid transfer of important items between galaxies.
However, in the Cybertronian Civil War, the Space Bridge device located in the suburbs of Iron Bastion was devastatingly destroyed, leaving only a relatively stable space crack. And this tragic war that lasted for millions of years caused a large amount of waste to pile up like a mountain, but people have always had no time to take care of the proper disposal of these wastes. A large amount of waste, metal blocks, and garbage piles filled the major cities of Cybertron, and even led to the inability of both sides to effectively engage in combat. Finally, both sides thought of using the remaining space cracks, and they threw waste into them on a regular basis, but no one knew where they were sent in space.
In addition, the Transformers also mastered a small Space Bridge technology, but the transmission volume and distance were strictly limited. For example, Skyfire's ability to transmit Bumblebee and Sam and others belongs to small Space Bridge technology.
Sentinel Prime is based on this technology, and made improvements. It replaces the fixed transmission device with a matrix composed of transmission pillars. And the matrix effect can be superimposed by increasing the number of transmission pillars. Can carry out extremely large-scale transmission. Theoretically, if there are enough transmission pillars and sufficient energy, it can even transmit the entire planet.
After Aurora disassembled and studied the transmission pillars, it basically deduced Sentinel Prime's Space Bridge technology. And when Liu Yuan landed on the moon last time, he did some tricks on Sentinel Prime's body. It can be said that everything Sentinel Prime hears and sees will be transferred here in real time. And Sentinel Prime himself is completely unaware, and even Ratchet did not find it when he was giving it a checkup.
