#635 - Chapter 12: Uncovering the Truth
A teacup was handed to Sam. He took it and took a sip of the warm black tea, saying, "Thank you! Sorry to have shown you this pathetic sight. My health is just getting worse and worse."
Sam, now twenty-eight years old, was no longer the naive youth he once was. He already had white hair at his temples. In the Battle of Chicago five years ago, Sam was caught in the blast. His right lung was severely damaged, and he could no longer engage in strenuous exercise.
After being discharged from the hospital, he married Kelly and moved to England. Kelly's family, the Huntingtons, were quite prestigious locally. However, their numbers had dwindled by her generation, and her brother had died in battle in Egypt.
Sam and Kelly's son would be the next heir to the Huntington family. Sam had married a rich and beautiful woman and was living the life of a kept man, a 'lying flat' life of luxury.
Liu Yuan: "It's been so many years, and your health hasn't improved. What do the doctors say?"
Sam shook his head and pointed to his chest, saying, "It's all shriveled up here, about half the size of a normal person's. I'm already satisfied that I'm still alive."
Liu Yuan stared into his eyes and asked, "Do you regret it?"
Sam looked at Kelly, his eyes filled with tenderness, "It was worth risking my life for her! Enough about me, Mr. Liu. So many years have passed, and you're still so young. What are you busy with these days? Still working with the Transformers?"
Liu Yuan: "Yes, it's been ten years already. Jazz and the others have been doing very well in China these years, unlike in the United States, where they are so prejudiced against the Transformers. Oh! Right, I saw Mikaela."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Sam spat out his tea, covering his embarrassment as he asked, "How is she?"
Liu Yuan said teasingly, "Not bad. Mikaela took over her father's auto repair shop and also runs a used car business. I heard business is pretty good. Oh, right, she's married. Her husband is your classmate Miles, the blond kid who used to hang out with you."
"What! Miles Creviell. Good heavens! You're not kidding, are you!" Sam was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth!
Liu Yuan found Sam's expression very amusing. Just then, his phone rang. After answering the phone and listening for a while, he said, "Okay, I understand."
Liu Yuan said to Sam, "It looks like I won't be able to have dinner with you. Something's come up at the company in the States, and I have to go back and take care of it."
......................................
Chicago, heavily damaged from the last alien invasion, has been completely renovated after five years of construction, bursting with vitality. Many high-tech companies have chosen to settle in New Chicago, and the opening of numerous factories has solved the employment problem for a large population.
Kinetic Solutions Incorporated (KSI for short) is an enterprise integrating scientific research, high-end technology applications, and mechanical manufacturing, operating globally. It has laboratories and factories mainly in Yokohama, Japan, Chicago, USA, Hong Kong, China, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
At the KSI headquarters building, Joshua Joyce, the CEO of the group's US operations, is presenting to other senior executives the research results his team has achieved over the past few years.
Thanks to its favorable conditions, KSI's American branch can obtain a large number of research materials in Chicago. They have not only reverse-engineered a large amount of Cybertronian technology but have also conducted in-depth research into this technology, developing Transformium technology. Transformium is a programmable metal that is the main component of the Transformers' bodies.
Liu Yuan, as the representative of KSI China, attended this internal results presentation. Joshua Joyce is committed to deciphering and researching Cybertronian technology to create Transformers belonging to mankind.
His ideas are very much in line with the current environment. Not only has he received a lot of official policy support, but he has also established secret cooperation with special departments, so the American KSI company is developing very rapidly.
It must be said that Joshua is a very talented person. He has made the most of the transforming metal, easily changing its shape and structure, and quickly splitting and recombining it.
Joshua walked to the front of the stage and took a sphere from the instrument. He said to the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce you to a groundbreaking achievement - Transformium! It is also the basic element of the Transformers, which we call transforming metal. As times develop, our technology is also advancing. Especially after the arrival of aliens, I believe many people's lives have changed."
As he spoke, the sphere in his hand split into countless particles, floating in Joshua's palm, giving people an unspeakable visual impact.
Joshua continued, "As we all know, the biggest feature of the Transformers is that they can transform into vehicles and other carriers. However, the traditional physical transformation mode of the Transformers is not very friendly to our fragile human bodies. If we want to enter the civilian market, we must change this phenomenon. Not only must we have a safer conversion mode, but the appearance must be more beautiful and cooler. Like this..." As he turned his palm over, the suspended particles turned into a Bluetooth speaker.
"Wow ~ oh!" Many people couldn't help but exclaim.
Joshua: "So our research team has developed a particle conversion mode. Or you might like something more powerful..." The Bluetooth speaker in his left hand quickly split into particles and reassembled into a Glock-18 in his right hand.
All the participants applauded enthusiastically. This was indeed a groundbreaking technology that could take the company to a higher level.
Next, only a few people followed Joshua into a small laboratory. A blonde beauty and two researchers in white coats were in the room. Joshua said to them, "Okay, gentlemen. Next, our experts will tell you a different kind of history. Darcy ~"
Dr. Darcy: "I think we all learned history when we were young. 65 million years ago, an asteroid from the universe hit the Earth, bringing about the extinction of the dinosaurs. But my discovery in the Arctic can prove that this statement is wrong..." He projected a few slides onto the screen.
"These are the dinosaur skeletons we unearthed in the Arctic. Incredibly, they are made entirely of metal, and according to carbon-14 dating, they formed exactly 65 million years ago." The pictures showed a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton, gleaming with metallic luster, ferocious and terrifying.
