Waltham is a subsidiary of Raytheon's New Materials Laboratory.

Kevin Hanks, a materials expert hired by Thor and who has been working for him for fourteen years, wears a hazmat suit and holds a piece of metal less than the size of an adult's palm, looking at the person who sent it with displeasure.

"The remains of a bumblebee were sent to you for eight days to study, and as a result, you cut off such a piece of metal?"

"In fact, in order not to affect the subsequent testing of the bumblebee's body, we only cut six pieces in total. You know, general hot and cold cutting is mostly useless for these alien bodies, and we had to use lasers to cut them! ”

Kevin Hanks raised an eyebrow, it has been more than a week since the remains of the bumblebee were delivered to Waltham, and in the past week, Raytheon has mobilized a large number of scientific research elites from many laboratories within the company to focus on the technical investigation of the remains of the Autobots.

However, the effect is not very good, after all, the level gap between the Earth civilization and the Cybertron civilization is too big.

It is not easy for a backward civilization that cannot even develop and utilize its own satellites to eat the product of a civilization that has begun to carry out interstellar colonization millions of years ago.

However, despite the difficulties, Raytheon is willing to invest heavily in the study of Bumblebee's organism.

What is the research value of the Autobots' corpses?

Anyone who knows the business knows that the value is too high.

Their bodies are made of alloys that can withstand most weapons on Earth, are resistant to high temperatures, corrosion, and have some self-healing capabilities.

Their fire can provide abundant energy for long-term use for a behemoth weighing several tons or even dozens of tons.

In the eyes of many human scientists, the technology used by Tinder, which is comparable to the legendary black technology of nuclear fusion, once mastered to improve the civilization of the earth, the benefits are huge.

Autobots are mechanical beings, and their transformation abilities also involve many fields, such as picometer-sized electronic components smaller than nanometers, plastic memory metals, combat systems that perfectly mimic any weapons and equipment on Earth, and so on.

Kevin Hanks took a fragment of a bumblebee's mech that had just been sent to his lab, weighed it for a moment, and found that it was not heavy.

"Can you only use laser cutting, it seems that the melting point is very high......"

With his experience, after some initial assessment of it, he clapped his hands and called all the staff in the lab.

"This is the surface mecha slice of the Autobot that was just sent over above...... Cheney, you go and get ready, and do an anti-corrosion test later......"

"Okay, Director!"

"Kailin, you guys test its melting and boiling point first, and break it down as a whole during the test, I need at least twenty small pieces for other simultaneous test ......"

"No problem, but it may take one to two days to complete a set of processes!"

"Then let's find a way to get some fragments first, there are other groups that need to be used!"

"Alright, let's get it done as soon as possible!"

"Murphy, you just keep an eye on Kailin's side, and when the particles come out, take them for compositional analysis!"

"Well, hopefully it won't be cheap carbon steel anymore!"

……

Kevin Hanks was assigned the task and didn't stay in the new materials lab for long.

After returning to his office and grabbing his coat, he headed to another building next door.

The remains of the bumblebee are currently kept there, where there is a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer laboratory.

The remains of the bumblebee are now there, undergoing a series of tests.

As the director of the Novel Materials Lab, Kevin Hanks has ample access.

He easily entered the building and headed for the NMR spectroscopy laboratory.

After using his identity pass to enter the observation room outside, many of the heads of Raytheon's technology research and development were all gathered in several transparent observation rooms here, and they were watching the technicians conduct a series of tests on the corpse of the bumblebee.

"It's unbelievable that these alien beings are silicon-based life forms that are completely different from our earthlings......"

"They have a large number of picometer electronic components in their bodies, which are equivalent to our human cell structure, and are their most important and primitive components......

“…… So what exactly does Tinder work on? How can such a small structure provide a steady stream of surging power for a behemoth weighing four or five tons......"

"And how do they realize the free transformation between the robot form and the car form......"

A large group of people in charge of Raytheon's technology research and development watched the examination of the bumblebee carcass and whispered to familiar friends nearby.

Kevin Hanks' arrival didn't attract much attention, and he didn't show any impatience for it.

He is just one of many technologists who are not good at dealing with human relationships.

A group of technicians were still watching the bumblebee's corpse with great interest, but no one noticed that in a certain building at Raytheon's headquarters, a brand-new tape recorder was constantly transmitting information to the outside.

"Found bumblebee carcass...... The location has been determined...... Please act as soon as possible......"

With a very regular communication, in an abandoned factory more than ten kilometers away, Optimus Prime raised his head sharply.

"The tape recorder has determined the location of the remains of the bumblebee, the Autobots, ready for action......"

A few days ago, after discovering that the former ally of the United States, had stolen the remains of the Autobots in Egypt, the angry Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, snatched back all six stolen corpses from the warships of the U.S. Navy.

In the end, unlike the Decepticons, although the Autobots were angry, they did not retaliate against the US Navy.

They only killed a dozen GIs when they landed on the warship and were attacked by the naval soldiers on the warship.

After resurrecting the group of Autobots who died in battle, some of the Autobots were left behind by Optimus Prime on the African side, and let them return to Solri first to run the temporary base.

And Optimus Prime himself, with a dozen Autobots such as Iron Sheet, landed across the Atlantic Ocean on the east coast of the United States.

Now that we already know that in Jordan, the remains of the Bumblebee and other Autobots who died in battle in order to snatch the [Leadership Module] have been transported back to China by the Americans.

Even if he didn't already know that they were about to be dissected by the Americans, Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, could not sit idly by and watch the corpses of his loyal subordinates and companions be insulted by humans after their deaths.

As a result, after the rescue team landed on the East Coast, they quickly launched an operation, and the Hornet, which was suspected to have been sent to the laboratory of the American arms giant Raytheon, was their first rescue target.
