Normally, although Megatron is also very prestigious, his prestige is mainly concentrated in a few places where the gladiatorial industry is popular, such as Caron City and Slaughter City, and his reputation is not enough to cover the entire planet Cybertron, and he does not have the conditions and status to speak nationally to the entire communication network.

But Orion Pikes can.

He is the data recorder of the Iron Keep Records Hall.

Not only does he have the privilege to temporarily tamper with data network communication lines, but he also has the ability to hack, and Orion may not be as good at fighting and killing people as a proper gladiator, but he is still very important, and for Megatron, the impact of his key position, at the level of the news media, is far greater than that of a thousand gladiators.

Fu Qinghai silently analyzed in his heart.

He even thought darkly: no wonder Megatron had so much patience and so much tolerance for Orion, who, according to Orion Pikes, was completely incompatible with his other men, not tolerating the slightest rebuttal and questioning, and the mode of command and obedience. He posed in front of Orian Pikes with such a polite corporal, maybe it wasn't the same as the two people's revolutionary ideas, and they admired each other, to put it mildly, maybe it was for today, maybe it was for this moment.

Fu Qinghai never launched a rebellion.

But he has seen many cases. In the real world, armed coups break out every now and then in Africa, and those African coup warlords, even if they are not highly educated, will try their best to occupy the national radio and television station in the early stage of the rebellion, and then make speeches to the whole country through the radio station, explaining his ideas and declaring his position......

Even if it is limited by the low level of culture, resulting in the speech being vague and confused, stumbling, and inconsistent with the preface, it is still a necessary process. Because if he had not made this speech and had not occupied the high ground of public opinion in the first place, then his armed struggle would have turned into a mere rebellion or local secession, and could not have been called a "revolution" and could have been easily extinguished.

The same is true for Cybertron and Megatron. Orion is the equivalent of the director behind the scenes of Cybertron's national radio and television station, and with such a person participating in the revolution, he will soon be able to obtain the coveted platform for public opinion.

A sane enough person.

This is the time to stop and think.

Should such a big thing be cautious?

It's a pity that Orion has obviously been fooled and lame.

By the time Megatron said this, Orion Pikes had already begun writing code to debug the appropriate parameters. Usually, by rule, this kind of work should be done by someone from the programming community, and someone from the data community like him has no authority to do it. But Orien Pikes realized that his actions had shown the significance of his existence in the class system.

"That's it."

Orion said as he opened the line and gave Megatron access. Orion then witnessed Megatron emerge from the shadows for the first time and into the public eye of Cybertrons.

"Ladies and gentlemen, citizens of Cybertron, I would like to solemnly state that I have nothing to do with these attacks, but I do not deny that the Cybertrons who carried out these explosions were most likely inspired by my belief that every Cybertron has the right to make his own decisions!"

Megatron reached out and waved his hand at the screen.

"I regret the lives lost."

After a moment of conversation, Megatron continued:

"But how many of those who died watched me lay down my life in the gladiatorial arena of the city of Karon for fun? And how many Cybertrons died to please them? Now the lives of the Cybertrons will be exchanged for your well-being, and they tell you that each man's life will be up to him! No Cybertron can dictate what other Cybertrons do and don't do! ”

Megatron's voice was deafening:

"My name is Megatron. I lead those who will follow me, and I condemn those who use my name to commit such despicable acts. We will not fight with bombs, our weapons are logic and thought. Except in the gladiatorial arena, I never wanted to kill. Let the true masterminds of these attacks bear the righteous verdict of Cybertron. ”

Megatron approached the communicator, his body taking over the frame, his expression becoming stern and cold.

"If I had found them first, I would have carried out my justice more quickly and thoroughly!"

"Click......"

The screen goes off.

Orian suddenly realized.

Megatron, he was so confident and eloquent, his speech seemed to have been prepared for a long time, just waiting for such a moment, waiting for such a speech to be delivered after the explosion.

"Obviously, looking at the wording, this is a speech that has been prepared for a long time, not an impromptu speech."

Fu Qinghai clasped his hands to his chest and said lightly.

From the standpoint of the faction, he should have drawn his sword to kill this "friend" before Orion Pikes was ready to open the communication network for Megatron, and prevent the Decepticon leader Megatron from making this national speech. But he didn't make a move, just watched from the sidelines, watching Orion Pikes use the Iron Castle's function as a central data network node to do all this, and then he said coldly at this time.

However, he underestimated Orion's opinion of Megatron, or rather, he underestimated Orion's desire for "comradeship".

He watched as Orion Pikes hacked into the media using the priority password, and then appeared on the screen.

"I'm Orion Pikes."

The young Cybertron looked at the screen and said seriously.

"I'm the data recorder of the Iron Castle Records Hall, and my direct supervisor is Master Titanium. I'm here to prove that Megatron wasn't involved in the bombing. ”

"Wow-"

The entire communications network exploded in an instant.

All the information channels in the data network are flooded with explosive replies. At that moment, Orion Pikes ceased to exist simply as a data room recorder, he became an outlaw, a terrorist, and a madman. These replies shocked him until he received instructions to isolate the communications network and receive only orders from the Supreme Council.

The moment he claims to support Megatron, it is as if he has become Megatron himself. And in the eyes of the Cybertron public, Orion and Megatron are now co-leaders, co-orchestrating terrorist bombings across the planet.

"Nope."

Orion Pikes anxiously argued:

"I know Megatron, he didn't do anything like that. Neither do I, you have to believe and understand. ”

But in his subconscious, it was as if he heard Megatron say in his ear: they will never understand, because they don't want to understand, as long as they are better off than us, they won't want to understand us. Because they are all in the upper class, how can they empathize with the low-class Cybertrons?

Orion Pikes hopes none of this is true.

After saying this, Orion Pikes slumped down in his desk chair, his head in his hands, his eyes glazed and confused. All the colleagues around him stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the young man, with complicated eyes, with pity, sympathy, and doubt.

"Alas......"

Orion Pikes is still too young.

Fu Qinghai sighed helplessly when he saw this scene.

I can't help but think:

The Decepticon camp is already so active, what are the Cybertrons in the Autobot camp doing? What about Optimus Prime? Where is Optimus Prime? Help!

"Orion Pikes."

A colleague said:

"The archivist told you to go find him."

Orion nodded sluggishly.

Then get up and leave your desk and walk up the stairs.

……

At the same time, the Colosseum of the city of Karon.

Megatron watched as Orion vanished across the communication link, his men standing silently beside him.

"I'm sorry, brother."

Megatron muttered to himself.

He knew Orion Pikes couldn't hear.

"You know, I don't want that, the world you see from the bottom of the arena is completely different from the world you see in the Records Hall database."

……

After Orion Pikes left.

The screen in front of his desk was still on.

The few Cybertrons around him had no intention of working, and they were all watching the communication network with concern, which was still refreshing and scrolling countless shocking messages.

The terrorist attack erupted suddenly, a gladiator of Caron gave a speech against the Supreme Council and the class system, and then a recorder of the Iron Castle publicly endorsed him.

Fu Qinghai suddenly found out.

For a while, no one paid attention to themselves.

He quietly sat down at Orion's desk.

Cybertrons are generally seven to ten meters tall, comparable to a knight mech, and Orion Pikes's workstation is as huge as a giant's furniture to Fu Qinghai, but he still tried his best to climb onto this giant seat without making any sound, taking advantage of the fact that no one around him noticed him.

Start exploring the operational data network.

At the top of the screen are news entries.

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and began to flip through it.

It is rare to have the opportunity to surf the Internet by himself, instead of listening to others relay the news, Fu Qinghai cherishes this opportunity very much, and clicks on one news information after another to start carefully checking.

Although Megatron did not admit it, Fu Qinghai had already decided that the explosion was the work of Megatron and his team, but there were still some unanswered questions in his heart - it was not a trivial matter to create such a huge series of explosions in various parts of Cybertron at the same time, and it must have been planned and prepared for a long time, if such a large-scale terrorist attack was created just to find an opportunity to make a national televised speech...... Isn't it a bit of a mistake?

He remembered what Megatron had said to Orion.

One of the little details.

Megatron had revealed to Orion that they were going to find an artifact left behind by the Thirteen Ancestors, and if they could find it, it would prove that their actions were just......

According to the barricades, artifacts are not uncommon in the myths and legends of the Cybertrons, and each of the Thirteen Ancestors has their own artifact.

But what kind of artifact can give justice to this bloody rebellion? In the culture and setting of Transformers, what kind of artifact has the huge role and symbolic significance of this ancient Chinese "heirloom jade seal"?

Coldly.

Four big words appeared in Fu Qinghai's mind.

Leadership Module!

It is also known as the Evidence of Leadership.

Leadership module, representing the destiny of heaven!

But...... Fu Qinghai fell into doubts again, if the Transfiguration United Universe also has the setting of a leadership module, the natural enemy is the current leader of Cybertron, shouldn't the leadership module be in his body? Why are the Decepticons still looking for leadership modules? They want to lead the module and directly assassinate the predators! Could it be that they have gotten some inside information, such as ......

The Predator doesn't have a leadership module?

Damn, that's really exciting news.

If this information is indeed correct, it will not only prove the righteousness of the rebellion, but it may even go a step further to call into question the legitimacy of the Predator as the leader of Cybertron.

Everything is just Fu Qinghai's conjecture.

With these doubts and conjectures.

Fu Qinghai first clicked on the first news video.

The video is tagged "Six Lights Amusement Park".

There is also a text intimate introduction under the video:

At Cybertron Six Lights Amusement Park, the Plasma Arc Coaster is the most popular attraction.

In the video screen, the lane extends around the entire set of equipment brackets, which are paved with magnetic rails to guide the train group to drive rapidly, and the gravitational acceleration causes passengers to be dizzy, crazy, and unstoppable. Thirty-six mini King Kong dispersed brackets underneath the steel beams, their sleek and shiny shells stamped with the amusement park roller coaster logo, should all be employees. They are arranged in two concentric circles, one around the outside of the steel beam and one squeezed in the center of the track. Above them, the first lap of the roller coaster has just passed, and the tracks creak. The Cybertrons waiting below looked up, completely oblivious to what Mini King Kong was doing. They were expecting their turn to play.

Suddenly, thirty-six mini-King Kong detonated thirty-six fusion bombs at the same time. The massive steel structure of the Plasma Arc Coaster collapsed with a blinding flash, releasing a huge amount of energy, and a large group of blasted Cybertrons were thrown out. After the ride fell to the ground, the passengers fell hard with the strong electromagnetic energy on the track, and then ...... It also exploded like a bomb.

There is a lot of sadness in the data network.

Fu Qinghai was expressionless and silent.

To be honest, because I am not a Cybertron and cannot fully empathize with the Cybertrons, the first thing that other Cybertrons think of when they see this video is horror, heart-wrenching, sadness, and anger...... But what Fu Qinghai thought of was:

Screenwriter and author of the Transformers United Universe.

It's full of in your head!

Fu Qinghai once heard Orion tell him how much he wanted to go to the Six Lights Amusement Park as a middle-class Cybertron, and how fun it was......

Fu Qinghai originally thought that as a highly technologically advanced silicon-based civilization, Cybertron Six Lights Amusement Park should be similar to Mewtwo in "Cyberpunk: 2077", which belongs to a kind of enjoyment and experience that surpasses traditional sensory stimulation, which can make Orion Pix unforgettable.

As a result, you fuck ......

What the hell is a roller coaster?

That's too earthy, isn't it?

Orion Pikes wants to start a revolution because he can't go to an amusement park on a roller coaster?

Fu Qinghai raised his hand and slowly wiped his face.

There is nothing to say at all.

Forget it...... Fu Qinghai comforted himself in his heart, Transformers and Warhammer 40K, like Marvel DC, are also very, very old IPs, and it is understandable that the imagination of those production staff at that time was a little lacking.

Continue browsing the information in the data network.

……

Cybertron, Sonic Boom City.

It's home to Cybertron's largest munitions factory, right next to Sonic Canyon, where its exhaust pipes and giant chimneys jut out just beyond the canyon. After the raw materials were extracted from the canyon, there was a lot of space, so a factory was built here to process and produce weapons and equipment on site.

At the time of the explosion, there was plasma fuel from an arc welding torch right next to the factory's cistern, which was used to make highly heat-resistant weapon barrels and ammunition boxes.

Observatories at both Satellite Base 1 and Satellite Base 2 captured a brief flash of light that blinded the scope in that region of Cybertron.

From the ground, it seemed as if a giant pillar of energy erupted from the Sonic Canyon that reached into the sky, and then quickly formed a ring of light and heat. Countless debris were scattered in an area of several seri within a radius of the Great Wasteland, and some of the unlucky Cybertrons who happened to pass by or were working nearby were smashed. Those pieces can be as small as a conduit connection or as large as an entire cooling tower. According to news reports, the large cooling tower was dissipating heat from a small reactor at the time of the explosion.

Arsenal ......

Fu Qinghai silently analyzed: Cybertron's parliamentary army has lost an important source of weapons.

Move on to the next video.

……

Cybertron, Sonic Canyon.

According to some conservative and devout Cybertrons, Sonic Canyon is the ear of the predator, and he uses it as a medium to listen to what is happening in the world in which his people live. The great multiverse computer, the Magic Orb, is also said to have been installed in the Sonic Canyon. But the Cybertrons haven't interacted with the Mana Orb for many years. The vast majority of people don't know if the orb is still in motion—or even if it's still there.

Then there was a series of explosions that tore open the end of the rock wall of the Sonic Canyon, which, according to legend, was the ancient entrance to the interactive interface of the Magic Orb. No one knows if the explosion was an attempt to destroy the great Cybertron computer or to force the entrance open from the canyon side wall.

The Magic Orb is an existence that is even more awesome than the Manifestation One. Fu Qinghai happened to know a little bit of inside information, the place where the data network was really monitored was the Iron Castle, not the Sonic Canyon, and the place where the magic ball was placed was also the Iron Castle, not the Sonic Canyon...... It seems that the information of the Decepticons is not foolproof, even if it is a well-known sound wave, there will be times when it makes mistakes.

They detonate the sonic canyon.

Doomed to not find the Magic Orb.

……

Cybertron, City of Stan.

On the Jagged Ridge on the eastern border of the city of Stan, there is a building called the "Skwe Fortress", which is where the council legions train and where the local defense organization is located.

It was in Sko Fortress that the generals of the first parliamentary legion decided the division of social classes.

Also in the fortress of Sko, the current head of the Legion of Parliament, whose name is "Gauntlets", was killed in the explosion. He is deeply proud of his position and the history of Stan's Legion. He believed in the class system, and from the moment he left the Well of the Tinder, he was a member of the Cybertron military organization, and he never thought of leaving his own class.

The High Council's military system wasn't as sluggish as Orion Pikes thought, and the Gauntlets had read the Ironkeep's encrypted messages about Megatron a long time ago. His conclusion: he is just another disgruntled underclass who wants to destroy Cybertron's long-standing and effective social system, and the Gauntlets are convinced of this.

He waited for the council to come to the same conclusion, and then took direct action against the cities of Karon, Slaughter, and the Great Wasteland, which had become the lair of criminals. He looked forward to participating in such an operation. The only regret of the Gauntlets since their creation is that they have never witnessed a real military conflict.

The bomb, brought by an unknown mini-King Kong, exploded under the parade ground in the northwestern corner of the Sko fortress. The explosion completely lifted the corner of the fortress of Sko and pushed it under the ridge. The electromagnetic pulse from the explosion caused a series of failures in the nodes of the communication network inside the ridge.

One hundred and eighty-three Cybertrons died as a result of explosions, landslides, and damage to the processing system by electromagnetic pulses.

Gauntlets were also among the dead.

Fu Qinghai didn't know these inside stories.

All he knew was that Cybertron's supreme military commander, second only to the predators, had died, from the explosion.

……

"It's so fast, how can it come so fast."

Fu Qinghai stared at the screen and muttered to himself.

I was still lamenting that the plot was developing too slowly.

As a result, all of a sudden, overnight, the entire planet of Cybertron was in turmoil, and the Decepticons were extremely efficient in doing things - perhaps for a long time, but in short, everything seemed to be moving in favor of the opposing faction.

At this moment.

Fu Qinghai didn't know what to do.
