Chapter 577: On the eve of the rainstorm

A plane that looks like an American Global Hawk drone is constantly flying over the skies of Africa.

The information filmed was continuously transmitted to a rudimentary cave in a section of the East African Rift Valley near the border with Ethiopia in South Sudan, located on a mountain wall.

"Hasn't the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft found new strong energy and electromagnetic reactions?"

Sun Cheng looked at the huge display screens hanging on the wall in front of him, and his brows had not been stretched for a long time.

"Not yet!"

The forerunner reached out and pressed on a machine, blue electric sparks beating from time to time, and he was currently remotely controlling three drones, hovering over North, East and West Africa at the same time, looking for possible targets with strong energy and strong electromagnetic reactions.

"Barren land!"

The shovel said sullenly, "Those damn reptiles have ruined this fertile land!" ”

During the construction of this temporary base, Sun Cheng and his team accidentally discovered several small mines nearby, and in line with the principle of not wasting them, they sent dozens of mining robots to mine the small mines they found.

As a result, in less than a week, they had already mined 3 tons of gold, more than 850 tons of copper, 171 tons of tin, more than 500 tons of iron, and so on.

Africa is truly a godsend.

Sun Cheng nodded imperceptibly, and he also admitted some of the views of the shovel that Africa was indeed a fertile land that had been abandoned.

However, there are many reasons for this, and it can be summed up as nothing more than 'great power game' and 'too close to Europe'.

Such a good piece of treasure land, it can be imagined that when he decided to use fertile Africa to trap the Autobots, Sun Cheng was reluctant to do so.

It's just that the reluctant child can't trap the wolf.

Sun Cheng and the others have noticed that the Autobots have begun to explore and mine in the uncontrolled areas of Sori and Kenya, and he knows what this means very well.

The Autobots can't help but build a base on Earth.

The Cybertrons' base is different from a human city, and it is technically better to describe it as a military fortress.

A base needs to have an energy supply system, a defensive combat system, a residential area, a command center, a barracks, etc., and there must be a mineral distribution nearby.

On the planet Cybertron, whether it is an Autobot or a Decepticon, even if it is just a small base, it covers an area of at least ten square kilometers, covering hundreds or even thousands of square kilometers.

They are often responsible for the security and defense of an area, as well as mineral extraction, energy smelting, and so on.

It is no exaggeration to say that once the Autobots' bases in Solie and Kenya are completed, with the rich heritage of the Autobots, they may only need a few months, and the scale and coverage area will surpass the second base.

Of course, this is just an ideal state.

Not to mention whether the Decepticon Legion can allow the Autobots to establish a base on Earth, the Autobots themselves may not be able to cross a mental hurdle called 'morality' and compete with the locals for minerals and living space.

But these are not what Sun Cheng needs to care about.

His investment in the Autobots is over, after all, the Autobots have only shown a little bit of kindness to him all along, and Optimus Prime has not directly rejected his request for an alliance, but he has not agreed either.

This is also in line with Sun Cheng's intentions, after all, it is not a good thing to be too deeply involved with the Autobots.

Holding a spark fragment in his hand, the azure arc of electricity kept beating between his fingers and the shard.

"Tinder Source Fragments!"

The shovel was a little red-eyed, and he didn't have to breathe at all, but his nostrils spewed out two hot white gases when Sun Cheng took out the fragment.

Stared at by the cold gaze of the thunder next to him, he quickly realized his gaffe and turned his head to look in other directions.

The fragments belonged to Sun Cheng, something he couldn't get at all.

Thunder snorted, his fingers rubbing against a wound on his chest that had not yet healed from the surfboard.

A medical spider was crawling around his body at this time.

It had a piece of metal between its legs, and it was trying to fix some of the inconspicuous little wounds on Thunder's body first.

The fragment in Sun Cheng's hand was obtained from the runner by the forerunner not long ago, and its original owner was the American boy Sam.

He had been keeping it close to him since he got it.

When you have time, you can use power generation equipment to replenish its energy, which has been discovered in the past in the process of continuous research on the fragments of the spark source, and the fragments can directly absorb electricity to replenish energy.

During the period after he first got the fragment, Sun Cheng only regarded it as an ordinary fragment.

Although he had been studying the fragments before, his engineers had discovered that the fragments contained a lot of information.

However, because most of the information is disorganized, it is very cumbersome to interpret.

Therefore, Sun Cheng was not in a hurry to read the information inside, and wanted to wait for time to study it in the future.

Not long ago, Surfboard kidnapped Sam with the Doctor to get the information they needed from his head.

It was only after Sun Cheng realized the importance of the piece of shard that Sam had gotten.

Like the Autobots and the Decepticons, Sun Cheng is also looking for the [Leadership Module].

However, there is no better way for the three parties, the [Leadership Module] is deliberately hidden, although they all believe that this energy source containing huge energy cannot be completely hidden, once they get close to a certain distance, whether it is the Autobots, the Decepticon Legion or Sun Cheng, they can sense it, just like the [Tinder Source].

Based on this understanding, whether it is the Autobots, the Decepticon Legion, or Sun Cheng, they are now using a wide net to find the [Leadership Module].

The Decepticon Legion is the most well-manned, and the Red Spider has sent more than 100 Decepticons to the planet to search for them.

According to Sun Cheng's investigation, the Autobots were personally led by Optimus Prime, with Sori as the first stop, and began to take the lead in finding them in East Africa.

As for Sun Cheng and the others, he ordered the No. 2 base to specially design and manufacture three special unmanned reconnaissance planes on the basis of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft such as the US Global Hawk, which can capture strong energy sources and electromagnetic fluctuations dozens of meters underground.

At present, the three unmanned reconnaissance planes are searching for traces of the [leadership module] everywhere in Africa under the control of the forerunners.

Sun Cheng himself, on the other hand, took the opportunity to decipher the information in the fragments, hoping to get more useful information from them.

Africa, for the time being, has entered the storm and the final dawn.
