Chapter 384: Expansion (I)
In the southwest of Brazil, in a canyon surrounded by mountains.
In the depths of the Great Cave where Base No. 2 is located, after an unknown amount of coma, the consciousness of the Precursors finally began to recover!
"Precursor, can you hear me?"
Next to his ears, there was a shrill electronic sound.
The Precursor subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look at where the sound was coming from, but he soon sensed that it was difficult.
Countless metal bone spurs and braces held his body firmly in place.
After a brief period of confusion, he finally completely recovered, and immediately stopped struggling, and calmly replied, "Can I hear, Atlas, has my new body been replaced?" ”
Although he pretended to be calm, the blue light that kept flashing in his eyes undoubtedly revealed the master's excitement now.
In this regard, Atlas on the side also smiled knowingly, and they all pretended not to see it and quickly controlled the machine in front of the operating table.
"Yes, Precursor. The replacement surgery was a great success, but it will take some time for your core to get to the tinder and the body! Wait a moment and we'll unmount it for you now! ”
There was a loud sound of metal brackets being withdrawn, and hundreds of brackets quickly completed the extraction work.
After feeling that his head and body could finally move in a large way, the forerunner resisted the excitement in his heart, first tried it, and moved his head.
"Strange and familiar feeling ......"
Feeling the abundant power that seemed to be pouring out of the new body, he tried to control the new body to step down from the machine platform, and his left foot had just landed on the ground, but his whole body suddenly stumbled and almost fell on the spot.
“…… Precursor, please be careful...... Your new body is still in the run-in period, and you won't be able to control it as much as your old body! ”
"Hmm!"
In response, the Precursor took control of his new mech more carefully, stepping down from the platform of the huge airframe manufacturing workshop, and staggering slowly around the factory area for a while before gradually getting used to his new mech.
At the same time, detailed data about his new body is constantly being updated in the core of the forerunners.

……
The so-called 'Sub-Specially Strengthened Warrior' is the new B4-level body that Sun Cheng originally promised to redress for the Precursor.
As early as Atlas began to design Sun Cheng's new mech, Sun Cheng was considering setting up a complete 'mech enhancement system' that would be used to reward his growing power in the future.
Until his new body was finally completed, there was also a fairly complete system.
Sun Cheng has obviously been exposed to a lot of games and fantasy works in his original world, so this 'body enhancement system', which was basically formulated by his will, obviously has a very heavy shadow of another world.
The resulting 'body enhancement system' is simple and practical.
From the highest to the lowest, Sun Cheng and the others set up a total of five different levels, namely A/B/C/D/E, and each of them has five different enhancement classifications from 1 to 5.
E-level enhancement is undoubtedly the lowest level of the first level, and in this enhancement system, it is named 'secondary level non-combat enhancement'.
This level of enhancement is limited to limited enhancements to the core, energy system, and internal parts of the body, and in the future, it will basically be used to reward the new sappers who have recently given birth to wisdom and contributed to the development of Sun Cheng's power.
The D-Class is completely different, as from this level onwards it will be possible to obtain a completely new body, which surpasses the E-Class in terms of material strength.
D1 refers to the optimization of the core on the basis of the new body; D2 is the optimization of the energy system; D3 is the component; D4 is the one who chooses to strengthen one of the core/energy systems or internal components on the basis of the previous three; D5 is based on the first three, and once again comprehensively strengthens it.
The enhancement of E and D ranks basically rarely involves combat aspects, and from C rank onwards, it is biased towards the promotion of combat type.
In this set of enhancement systems, the C level is named 'low-level combat enhancement', from 1 to 5, which are hand-to-hand combat, speed reconnaissance, long-range firepower, special enhancement, and comprehensive enhancement.
Sun Cheng plans to reward the new generation of enhanced warriors in the future, including the four Decepticon Scouts from one to four, who will be able to receive C4 and C5 enhancements.
On the other hand, B-level is an 'Intermediate Combat Enhancement', and both the materials and enhancement strength are enhanced on the basis of C-level.
For example, the Precursor is a B4-level enhancement, and the type of enhancement he is 'long-range firepower', and when the Atlas they modified their own mech, he specifically requested an increase in speed.
As for the A-level, it is 'advanced combat type enhancement', and in Sun Cheng's design, the top three types of fighters at this level should have combat power that is not weaker than that of ordinary high-level fighters of Autobots and Decepticons.
However, because each body at this level requires a large number of expensive alloys, the cost of converting to materials on Earth is estimated to start at a billion dollars.
So far, apart from his own body, which is designed to the highest A5 standard, no Decepticon has received such a reward.
In the future, the enhancement of grade A or above should only be used to reward those subordinates who are loyal to Sun Cheng and have made great contributions to themselves, after all, the cost is there.
Unless he can truly control a country rich in mineral resources on Earth and carve out a territory of his own, it will be difficult for Sun Cheng's subordinates to give birth to another high-level warrior besides himself.
Countless messages continued to beat in the strengthened core of the Precursor, and the excitement and smile on the Precursor's face became brighter and brighter.
“…… Atlas, how long will it take for me to take full control of this new body? ”
The surging and abundant power, as if it was endless, was constantly surging in his new body, which also made the voice of the forerunner a little anxious.
He was one of the first Decepticons to follow Sun Cheng, because the core had been passive and had followed Sun Cheng most of the time, it can be said that in the entire No. 2 base, except for the intelligent computer 'Phantom', he should be the most loyal to this master.
The fact that the Precursor had now been so blessed and transformed from an inconspicuous scum into a Decepticon warrior comparable to a shovel digger undoubtedly further strengthened his loyalty to his master.
The last time he came back from his rotation in Beigang, Sun Cheng gave him a mission to go to the United States.
Naturally, the current forerunners have not forgotten, so they can't wait to set off.
Unfortunately, as soon as his words were asked, he was persuaded by Atlas.
“…… Precursor, according to our calculations, it will take at least a week or so for you to fully strain into this new body. And we can't guarantee that there won't be some problems during this time, so I recommend that you stay inside the base during this time, so that if something goes wrong, we can deal with it in time! ”
The forerunner's face furrowed, and he was a little impatient, when suddenly Atlas seemed to remember something again, only to hear him quickly say, "Oh, yes. Lord Two had just returned to the base shortly before your surgery, and he seemed to have received a new order from his confused master, and it seemed that he needed you to come and take a look! ”
"Oh?"
A Decepticon who looked somewhat similar to his past self instantly appeared in the forerunner's mind, narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and walked out.
