#546 - Chapter 33: Past Events on Cybertron (Part 2)

Due to their unique life forms, Transformers have needs that are quite different from those of carbon-based life. They don't need to seek out habitable planets for interstellar colonization like carbon-based life forms do. Instead, they require special metal resources and stellar energy from other galaxies to survive and develop. These resources are crucial for Transformers because their body structures and technological equipment rely on these precious materials.

In the beginning, Cybertron was not as large as it is now. However, as countless rare metals were continuously transported back to Cybertron, the planet expanded and grew. These resources not only became the energy source for the Transformers but also supported the cornerstone of the entire Cybertronian civilization.

During this period, the Transformers did not have a good reputation; their behavior was comparable to that of cosmic locusts. Through constant exploration and discovery, the Transformers found many habitable planets. However, they only needed the unique metal resources on these planets and converted organic matter into transformable metal. Before leaving, they would destroy the star system's sun, absorbing its energy! Their actions strangled countless planets that could have given birth to intelligent life.

Over time, a massive metal ring was built around Cybertron, like a brilliant belt encircling the planet. This metal ring not only provided protection but also gradually expanded and covered the entire surface of the planet. It was through this method that Cybertron was able to develop into its current magnificent scale.

Cybertron employs a political system similar to a federation, dividing the entire planet into one hundred and eight districts. Each of these districts has its own characteristics and functions but must obey the leadership of the central government in Iacon, located in the Arctic.

Finally, the Cybertron High Council implemented a ban, strictly prohibiting predatory mining in star systems where life had originated. However, behind the prosperity of the civilization, some potential problems had quietly arisen.

Long-term warfare and resource plundering forced the Cybertronians to face increasing demands. To maintain the normal operation of the massive Cybertronian war machines, they engaged in a more precise division of labor. Among them, a large number of engineering Transformers took on production tasks, becoming the ordinary civilian class. Those Transformers who specialized in combat gradually rose to become the new military aristocratic class. They even had their own unique symbols and were called 'Decepticons.'

This social stratification led to division and antagonism between the two classes. The military aristocratic class began to oppress the civilian class, and the contradictions between the two sides intensified. This ideological divergence plunged Cybertron into chaos, gradually dividing it into two major factions: the Decepticons and the Autobots. They competed with each other in the council, trying to win more power and benefits for their factions. However, with thirteen elders in the council mediating and suppressing, the conflict between the two sides did not fully erupt.

Until one day, the seven elders who had gone out suddenly disappeared without a trace. The balance of the council was broken, and during this turbulent period, the situation on Cybertron became increasingly tense. Conflicts between the Decepticons and the Autobots continued to escalate, eventually leading to a full-scale civil war, completely changing the fate of Cybertron. This civil war not only affected Cybertron itself but also had a profound impact on the entire universe.

This war lasted for a full six million years, and almost the entire Cybertron was reduced to ruins, with the four outer orbital satellites outside the planet also blasted into fragments.

According to Jazz, those satellites were much larger than Earth. However, he didn't see it with his own eyes; he was born in the last million years of the war. At that time, the Autobots were already at a disadvantage. The Autobot's main base, Iacon, was almost lost, and the Autobot's main force had been transferred to the Kaon region in Antarctica.

Jazz was born in Kaon City as a protoform. By the way, a protoform is like a gourd vine-like cultivation tank, where the energy of the AllSpark can be stably imported through special instruments. This has one advantage: the basic template of the newborn can be determined before birth, and knowledge can also be transferred. This is also the most traditional way for Transformers to reproduce. During this process, a very small number of female consciousnesses and twin consciousnesses are born, with a probability of about three in ten thousand. Female Transformers have a special ability: they and male Transformers can each split a part from the AllSpark and merge with each other to give life to a brand new being.

Liu Yuan suddenly understood. This explains why Transformers, which are robots, need to be divided into female robots, completely skipping the AllSpark to reproduce the race. Those Transformers with girlfriends have to compete with more than three thousand three hundred of the same sex for a spot. Tsk tsk tsk, that's really amazing!

Liu Yuan casually asked, 'Do you have a girlfriend?' This directly made Jazz shut down. He squatted in the corner, scraping the ground with his fingers, making a harsh sound.

Liu Yuan tapped his fingers. Jazz is less than two hundred thousand years old in Earth time. He is a young Transformer, equivalent to just passing puberty. The knowledge he has is also extremely limited. After all, in the war, there was no time for him to learn more scientific knowledge.

The language and writing of Cybertron evolved from the source text, which is quite different from the symbols on the AllSpark. Moreover, the writing of the Decepticons and the Autobots is also different.

Liu Yuan scratched his scalp irritably. This is a bit troublesome. He also needs to contact research-type Transformers, such as Sentinel Prime and Brainstorm.

Temporarily putting aside deciphering the symbols on the Cube, Liu Yuan focused on Cybertronian technology, especially weapon technology. He learned the manufacturing methods of pulse cannons and particle cannons from Jazz. Jazz didn't hide the technology from Liu Yuan, after all, with Earth's technology and craftsmanship, it would take at least fifty years to produce a finished product.

That night, Agent Tom from Sector Seven came: 'Mr. Liu, hello, we meet again.'

Liu Yuan shook his hand: 'Please sit down, Jazz, bring something to drink.'

Jazz: 'Drink tea? Or coffee?'

Tom: 'No need to bother, I'm here to inform you that you can leave here!'
