"Identity verified, Colonel Dole, permission to enter."

Australia, a barren desert region in the middle of the country.

The colonel took Tony and the others to a secret military base in the uninhabited desert.

As Tony had guessed, the Australian government eventually chose to compromise.

Of course, this process of compromise is clearly fraught with all sorts of political calculations.

The calculations between the upper echelons are naturally not something that a small military colonel can participate in.

Therefore, all the colonel could do was obey the orders of his superiors, even if his heart was full of resistance to this order.

The Pine Valley Military Base, as the most mysterious area in Australia, has always been known as Australia's 51st District.

It's just that the reason for the mystery of the military base in Pine Valley in the past was purely because of the military's need for secrecy, and they didn't want to be discovered the intelligence in the base, so they deliberately created a mysterious illusion.

Now, it really confirms what the rumored District 51 should look like.

Following Tony and the others through the gate of the base into the underground, Corason looked at the heavily guarded base layout in front of him, and subconsciously felt a little timid, he was just an archaeologist, where had he ever seen such a battle, if it weren't for the doctor's permission, he might not even have the opportunity to enter the military base in Pine Valley.

Retracting his gaze from the real submachine gun in the soldier's hand, Colason swallowed a mouthful of saliva and couldn't help but speed up a few steps to keep up with the colonel and the others in front of him.

After a period of guarded checkpoints, the Colonel led them into a huge bomb shelter.

In the bomb shelter, Corathon saw the same Iron Giant he had first seen in the ruins.

Or, by the name of the Doctor, Transformers.

In the military base in Pine Valley, the Transformers, who are as large as Megatron but slightly different, are staying quietly.

Around this Transformer, a large number of researchers sent by Australia are constantly collecting data around it.

Around the Transformers, there is a group of special soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition, aiming at the Transformers at the center of the experiment with extremely vigilant eyes.

They already knew Megatron's information, so they were naturally well aware of the dangers of the Transformers.

Even if the Transformer in the Pine Valley Military Base did not show any danger, but, with Megatron's experience, they could not guarantee that this Transformer would suddenly come back to life like Megatron.

"Sure enough."

Eyes fall on the huge Transformers in front of you? Tony provokes the corners of his eyes? There was a look of surprise on his face.

Australia's research on Transformers didn't go beyond his expectations.

Is this kind of thing him? It will do the same.

After all? This particular super-mechanical lifeform, no matter for which country? are very important research objects.

His gaze was withdrawn from the top of the Transformers, and Tony immediately looked at the doctor on the side? An inexplicable color flashed in his eyes.

Didn't he forget? The purpose of the doctor's arrangement for the nanobots to come to Australia is for the Transformers.

"I don't have much interest in this lifeless carcass."

Sensing Tony's tentative gaze, the doctor replied calmly.

"Megatron, a Transformer who still has life characteristics, is the focus of my research."

"Good? At the very least, it's certain that the Doctor won't make a move on the Transformers inside the base. ”

Hear the doctor's answer? Tony breathed a sigh of relief as he turned his head to look at the Colonel.

"Mr. Colonel, we're not here to appreciate the Australian government's research on Transformers."

In Tony's eyes, this research method of collecting data from the Pine Valley military base? It's a bit too time-consuming and laborious, and it won't take so long if it were in his hands.

"Please follow me."

In the face of Tony's somewhat contemptuous words? The colonel decisively chose to ignore it.

The words of this superhero from the United States are not very catchy, but they are also true.

Compared to the technological level of the steel suit that Tony mastered? Australia's level of technology is a bit hard to describe.

This is one of the reasons why the Australian government attaches so much importance to the technology of the Transformers in the ruins.

Leaving from the base bomb shelter where the Transformers are located? The Colonel took Tony and the others to a more heavily guarded laboratory.

Into the lab? Tony's gaze was immediately drawn to the cube in the center.

The three-dimensional graphics that were previously built by Ultron? Tony already has a certain level of understanding of what the cube looks like.

However, when he saw this mysterious cube with his own eyes, he was still attracted by the unique texture of its surface and the mysterious aura that it constantly emanated, which he could not feel from the three-dimensional images.

Also fascinated by the mystery of the cube was Colaston.

Looking at the cube that flickered faintly on the surface, Colaston subconsciously took a few steps forward, staring at the mysterious cube in front of him with an obsessed expression.

A distracted Corathan didn't notice that as he approached the cube, the screen of his phone hidden in his pocket automatically lit up, and a signal about the coordinates of the military base in Pine Valley was transmitted at the same time.

The signal transmitted by the mobile phone to this coordinate is so special that even the base's network cannot detect it.

The only thing that was noticed during the whole process was the doctor himself, who also entered the laboratory.

However, it did not react to this.

In other words, this situation is exactly what he is happy to see.

It is not clear that the crisis is near.

The Colonel withdrew his gaze from the cube and spoke to Tony in front of him.

"This is an item that the military found and brought into the base along with the mechanical lifeform called the Transformers, for the internal structure of the cube, the military has tried to scan it more than once, but each time the results are unsatisfactory, X-rays cannot penetrate the cube at all, it seems that there is a special structure outside the cube that protects itself and prevents us from exploring."

Because of the special nature of the cube itself, the Australian military's research on it has been delayed, and it is precisely for this reason. As a result, the military had to temporarily abandon the study of it and instead focus on the Transformers.

For Australia's level of technology, studying Transformers is hard enough.

Not to mention the cubes.

Tony wasn't too surprised by the colonel's explanation.

Extraterrestrial technology such as the cube is inherently uncontrollable in the research process.

It often takes a lot of manpower and material resources to research reliable results from it, such as the research of space gems by S.H.I.E.L.D. in the past.

And, the Avengers' attempt at the Mind Gem, of course, Tony and they successfully simulated and created the powerful artificial intelligence Ultron through the power of the Mind Gem.

However, in reality, the process of the birth of Ultron is full of uncertainties.

Even if all the original conditions were put in front of Tony, he was not sure that he would be able to make Ultron again.

Therefore, after listening to the colonel's words, Tony subconsciously set his eyes on the doctor on the side.

He was well aware that the Doctor had apparently withheld some key information about the Transformers he had revealed.

"If the source of fire is cracked so easily, then it is not enough to become a holy relic of Transformers."

Under Tony's gaze, the doctor calmly revealed the origin of the cube.

He strode up to the cube and reached out to pick it up under the Colonel's wary gaze.

Looking at the mysterious symbol that flickered on the surface of the cube, he said in an inexplicable tone: "According to the records of the ruins, the source of fire is the source of the power of the Transformers, and the destination and source of all the power of their race. ”

"Since the Tinder Source is so important to Megatron, maybe we can just destroy it."

Hearing the doctor's explanation of the source of the fire, Tony frowned, his eyes swept over the cube in the doctor's hand, and he couldn't help but speak.

"No way!"

Hearing that Tony actually wanted to destroy the cube, the colonel subconsciously refused.

"The cube belongs to the Australian military, Mr. Stark, you have no right to ......"

The Colonel's attitude was resolute, however, Tony clearly ignored his attitude.

For him, although he is very curious about the power of the cube, he is more afraid of the threat of the cube.

In particular, Megatron's attention to the cube made Tony understand that instead of leaving the cube and waiting for danger to happen, it was better to directly destroy this mysterious cube once and for all.

"If you want to do that, you can try it."

In the face of Tony's suggestion, there was not the slightest change in the expression on the doctor's face.

He himself threw the cube in his hand at Tony, seemingly not worrying about the cube at all.

"Mr. Stark, please stop your actions."

The Doctor could act like he didn't care, but the Colonel was clearly unable to do that.

The existence of the cube is very important to Australia, and he naturally can't sit back and watch Tony cause any damage to it.

Reaching out to catch the cube thrown by the doctor, feeling the heavy weight in his hand, the expression on Tony's face became a little more solemn.

If his previous rhetoric about the doctor was just one of his own thoughts, then looking at the cube in his hand at this moment, he really had some thoughts on his mind.

Grabbing the cube in his hand with one hand, Tony's hands were quickly wrapped into arm armor by the nanobot.

Open your palms, and the blaster condenses.

Boom –

With the silent impact sound, the entire laboratory shook a few points under the force of this impact.

After a few seconds, the light in Tony's palm dimmed, but the cube in his hand was intact, not even a trace of the scar from the ultrasound was there.

Seeing this scene, the colonel's original heart was relieved.

"Looks like you've known this for a long time, doctor."

Looking at the intact cube in his hand, Tony looked at the doctor in front of him.

"As a sacred relic of the Transformers clan, the Tinder Source is naturally protected in the strongest container, and the cube is nothing more than a container used to contain the Tinder Source."

Under Tony's gaze, the doctor explained calmly.

Controlling his arm to turn into liquid metal and fall into Tony's hand to take the cube again, the doctor looked at the indestructible cube, turned around and placed it in the arms of a dazed Corasen.

"Therefore, if you want to stimulate the power of the fire source, you must use some special means."

As the Doctor's words fell, his arm visibly morphed into a silver-white metal scalpel, lightly slashing across Corathan's cheek, stained with Corason's blood and smearing it onto the cube in his arms.

Because the scalpel was so sharp, it wasn't until the blood on his cheek wound that Corason felt a hint of pain in hindsight. He looked down at the cube in his arms, reached out and touched his cheek again, looked at the blood stained with his fingers, and looked at the doctor in front of him with surprise.

"Why ......"

However, he didn't wait for Colaston to express his inner doubts.

In his arms, above the originally cold cube, the dead red magma-like texture still flowed and flickered, accompanied by bursts of warm currents emerging from the cube.

"This is?!"

Seeing the anomaly of Corasen's neutral cube, the expression on Tony's face immediately changed, and he looked at the doctor.

"The cube is a sacred object of the Transformers family, hiding the source of the power of the Transformers, and as a unique mechanical lifeform, Tinder naturally has a corresponding coping mechanism, just like humans will have an immune mechanism in the face of a virus, for the cube, human DNA is an alien virus, and the cube that feels the invasion will naturally react."

His eyes fell on the cube of red light surging in Coranson's arms, and the doctor gave a serious explanation.

Completely ignoring the fact that the reason for the cube's reaction is actually the fact that the antique store itself is shot.

Of course, Li Ran started more than just the cube.

And at the same time that the cube reacts.

In the bomb shelter of the base, the Transformers standing quietly seem to be pulled by the cube or the force at the same time.

The huge Transformer's chest was extinguished so that the core let out a low roar, and the dim eyes in the skull flickered with a faint blue light.
