#603 - Chapter 40: Hidden History (I)
Confusion quickly walked to the hatch door, his eyes fixed on the complex control panel above. His hands danced swiftly across it as he muttered, "Master, this spaceship has been damaged for a long time. Its energy system is completely paralyzed and cannot function normally. It seems we can only forcefully break through this hatch to explore it. Please wait patiently for a moment. Alice, come and help me!"
Before he finished speaking, Confusion and Alice simultaneously ejected a bright laser beam from their respective bodies. The light, like lightning, instantly illuminated the surrounding dim space. They aimed the lasers at the seam of the hatch and began cutting. Accompanied by harsh noise and flying sparks, a thin slit was gradually cut into the hatch.
Suddenly, a dull thud was heard—"Bang!" The originally sturdy hatch door crashed to the ground, raising a thick cloud of dust, as if a sandstorm had swept over. The entire ground trembled slightly from the huge impact.
When the dust settled, Confusion and Alice did not hesitate to walk into the spaceship. Guided by the signals they had previously received, they quickly arrived at the ship's cockpit. As soon as they stepped into the room, they could clearly see many Transformer corpses lying scattered about. Some of these corpses were incomplete, and some were disfigured beyond recognition. They were all Cybertronian natives, but from the remaining features on their bodies, it could still be determined that they were all Autobots.
Confusion didn't linger. He walked straight to a raised metal panel. After pressing it, the metal panel flipped up, appearing to be a hidden mechanical device. Confusion first connected his own power supply to the metal panel, then hesitated slightly, and finally reached out to try to operate it. Just as he randomly entered a string of characters, the metal panel slowly slid open, revealing the hidden compartment below. At the same time, a dazzling blue light burst out from it, instantly illuminating the entire cockpit. Then the floor slid open to both sides, revealing a platform inside, on which lay a red-painted Transformer.
Alice walked forward with light and steady steps, her electronic eyes, flashing with cold light, began to scan the object in front of her in all directions. As the scan progressed, a virtual screen slowly floated in the air, with a series of complex data constantly jumping and refreshing.
"Master, after preliminary testing, the energy reaction in his body is extremely weak. It can be determined that he is in a state of deep self-sealing. Moreover, due to being sealed for too long, this guy has lost the ability to awaken himself," Alice reported the test results expressionlessly.
At this moment, Confusion interjected, "Master, by comparing with the information in the database, I can confirm that this is the former leader of the Autobots—Sentinel Prime!"
Hearing this, Liu Yuan slightly raised his hand. The dozen or so metal pillars that had been standing quietly beside Sentinel Prime seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, and they all slowly floated into the air. Just as they were about to leave the cabin, an amazing scene occurred: the surfaces of all the metal pillars simultaneously glowed with a faint blue light, and the thickest metal pillar shone with a dazzling red light, as bright and dazzling as the brightest star in the night sky.
Faced with this strange phenomenon, Confusion couldn't help but said with some doubt, "Sorry, Master. I am temporarily unable to accurately know the specific uses and functions of these metal pillars, but judging from the energy fluctuations they emit, they are likely to be a highly efficient energy converter. But fortunately, we have a large number of such samples here, which can be handed over to Aurora for in-depth research."
Liu Yuan nodded, indicating his agreement with Confusion's suggestion. Then he waved his arm casually, and the energy pillars floating in the air, like obedient children, flew towards his hand and eventually disappeared into his small world. Of course, except for the five smaller energy pillars, they fell back to Sentinel Prime's side.
Liu Yuan said to Confusion, "Close the hatch and restore this place. Don't let people see that it has been frozen."
He turned to Alice again and said, "Alice, go and check this spaceship to see if it has any value."
"Yes, Master!" The two Transformers searched the spaceship, while Liu Yuan came to the dead Autobots. The Transformer spaceship was very rough in shape, without the kind of partitioned cabins that humans have. Overall, it was an open type. If it weren't for considering the special environment encountered in space travel, the spaceship wouldn't even need to be sealed.
After a long time, his two subordinates returned. Confusion respectfully said, "Master, the spaceship is completely damaged and has no repair value."
Liu Yuan waved his hand, "Since that's the case, let's go! Take me to Saturn to see what's in the Fallen's base? Didn't you say there's another set of cultivation pods there? It's perfect for cultivating some helpers."
………………………………
September 2013, Washington D.C. NEST Base.
Charlotte Mearing, the arrogant National Intelligence Director, was in the secret hangar below the building. There were a large number of soldiers conducting combat coordination training with the Autobots, learning how to deal with the Decepticons.
William: "Good to see you, Director Mearing. Optimus Prime is inside. He's been in there ever since he came back from Ukraine."
Charlotte said in a bad tone: "Colonel Lennox, can you tell me, are you still the commander? Why are you allowing them to run around everywhere?"
William: "I'm very sorry, Madam. Many of these Autobots are like teenagers, and the garage can't hold them. And as allies, I can't restrict their actions."
Charlotte: "Enough. I hope you can take responsibility for restraining them. The Autobots' arbitrary actions are making us very passive. The CIA has complained to me many times, and even the public often compares NEST forces with Skywatch. And don't call me Madam anymore, am I that old?"
William: "Sorry! Director Mearing, we're here, this way please." After saying that, he pressed a button, and a huge hangar door slowly opened.
The Autobots over there turned their heads. The blue Autobot handed the energy cannon in his hand to Ironhide. He said to them, "Oh, you're here. Hello, strange lady, my name is Topspin. I hope you can answer his doubts, to be honest, I have never seen Optimus Prime so angry."
