Chapter 203: A Chance Encounter with the Side Road (Part I)
The Arctic Ocean, probably the quietest ocean in the world.
Of course, this silence does not refer to the environment.
Although there are many countries along the Arctic Ocean, only Russia and the United States are the only countries that can compete for this ocean.
Russia's superiority in the Arctic Ocean is enormous, and its vast territory provides it with a large number of ports along the coast of the Arctic Ocean, in addition to this, since the time of Tsarist Russia, the country has established the Arctic Ocean Fleet, which has defined the blueprint for controlling the Arctic Ocean by force.
After the establishment of the former Soviet Union, the Arctic Ocean Fleet was expanded and renamed the Northern Fleet of the Red Navy.
By the seventies and eighties of the last century, relying on the strong national strength of the Soviet Union, the Northern Fleet had expanded to become the largest and most powerful naval fleet among the five major fleets of the Soviet Union.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Northern Fleet was inherited by the Russian Federation, and although the strength of the Russian Navy was greatly reduced after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Northern Fleet was preserved intact.
The terrifying combination of Kirov-class cruisers and Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines has made the Northern Fleet's range of activities cover the entire Arctic Circle, as well as the North Atlantic Ocean and the waters around Canada.
Beneath the snow cover of the Arctic Ocean, there are unimaginably rich resources.
In fact, since the U.S. military built the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, the Nautilus, in the middle of the last century, the year after it was launched, they couldn't wait to arrange for the Nautilus to cross the North Pole under the ice, and began a half-century-long uninterrupted exploration.
It is a pity that although the Americans intend to enter the Arctic Ocean, Russia will not give in easily, and the open and secret struggle between the two sides is almost white-hot.
But just as the Yankees overwhelmed Russia's Pacific Fleet, the Northern Fleet also repelled the ambitions of the American military in one test after another.
Beneath the deep sea of the far north, the Ghost was traveling at nearly forty knots before passing through the Bering Strait and into the Pacific Ocean.
"Master, as you commanded, I have completed the task. Just two days before you came to pick me up, I already received a reply from the other party in the email address you brought to my attention! ”
Inside the Ghost, Sun Cheng was sitting cross-legged in the main lounge of the dismantled former submarine soldiers, and next to him, a short Scout Decepticon was standing on his knees, respectfully reporting to him.
This scout Decepticon is the No. 2 who was left in New Ålsund by him before, and was responsible for infiltrating the Yellow River Station to deliver contact information to China.
It was just picked up not so long ago.
Rubbing his metal chin, a faint smile was visible on Sun Cheng's face.
He expected that there would be a reaction from China, and during the days he stayed in the [Transformers] world, he also paid attention to this country, and naturally noticed that the external environment of China in this world was not much better than that of China in the real world.
With changes in the political system and popular will at home, and all kinds of filth from Europe, the United States, and neighboring countries, this country seeking to achieve rejuvenation really needs some external forces.
And he, obviously, can take on this role.
"Well done!"
Sun Cheng nodded at him with satisfaction, his gaze lingering on No. 2 for a moment, and his heart moved slightly.
Brought revenge and defense back to the real world, because of the inexplicable conflict between San Jose and King Ida, the two Scout Decepticons were not lightly injured.
So when he returned to the [Transformers] world this time, he also brought both of them with him, ready to strengthen them.
The last time I tried it on Madness, it was undoubtedly a good attempt.
After gaining experience, I believe that these Scout Decepticons who have received the radiation of [Tinder Source] and gained life with him should be able to play a greater role for him after being transformed.
At that moment, he did not hesitate to promise: "After returning to the base, I will give you a chance to strengthen." Now come over and let me see the human response! ”
He stretched out his palm, and excitedly No. 2 quickly jumped up and landed in his palm.
"Yes, master!"
Sun Cheng lifted it in front of him, and as soon as the core moved, two blue beams of light immediately shot out from a pair of electronic eyes and sank into the core of No. 2.
Soon, he read all the information he wanted to know from No. 2, including everything he had done during the week it had been in hiding at the Yellow River Station, and Sun Cheng knew everything at a glance.
"Huh? It's set in 17 days, huh, this coordinate? Is the meeting place scheduled in the Lop Nur area of western Xinjiang? ”
The blue light in his eyes flickered slightly for a while, and the corners of Sun Cheng's mouth curved even more.
[Transformers] has been in the world for more than half a year, and he is no longer a fledgling who has not been deeply involved in the world, so how can he not know what China's choice means.
Lop Nur is located in the western part of China, and the coordinates show that the area is supposed to be surrounded by a desolate desert.
Choosing the meeting place here, to put it bluntly, is to be on guard against his temptation!
After all, China in this world is also one of the only few nuclear-armed countries on the planet, and although the meeting place chosen by the Chinese side is desolate, it is not far from the nuclear bomb test site of the Chinese side in the past, and if Sun Cheng can arrive at the appointment as scheduled, the Chinese side can not only test his strength with this, but at the same time, even if Sun Cheng has hidden evil intentions and makes a big fuss at that time, there will not be too many casualties.
It's a decent choice!
"Lop Nur?"
Although he was aware of the Chinese side's calculations, Sun Cheng did not have much anger and dissatisfaction, but suddenly became a little interested.
If he remembered correctly, he had looked up the Cybertrons on the Internet who had arrived on Earth a long time ago, and had left a large number of Cybertron characters on Earth.
If Sun Cheng remembers correctly, he once saw the Cybertron script engraved on a boulder in a photograph taken by Soviet explorers in the Lop Nur area.
That character was still preserved in his core, but because it was a patriarchal script, Sun Cheng couldn't decipher what that character meant.
"A remote planet at the edge of the Milky Way, so far away from Cybertron. But why did Cybertrons come to Earth a long time ago? And look at the number should definitely be more than one batch, the size of a few people? Is it also to find the [Tinder Source]? Or is there something else hidden on Earth that attracts them? ”
As he was constantly thinking about it and deciding on his trip to Lop Nur, he wanted to take some time out to investigate whether there was anything unusual about the boulder of the patriarch's writing left there in Lop Nur.
While thinking about it, the Ghost finally managed to cross the Bering Strait before the Russian naval blockade.
Because he was not exposed, Sun Cheng was in a very good mood.
It's just that this happy mood was quickly shattered.
Hephaestus trotted all the way from the command room to Sun Cheng, looking a little flustered.
"Master, the radar has detected something ......approaching us at a very fast speed."
