Chapter 178: Big Mac Ford and Junk Star! (3rd Update)
Compared to Optimus Prime, who is resting, and Megatron, who is stationed on the Rapid Star, the commander of the Autobots' Second Fleet, the giant Ford's voyage is smooth sailing.
The Big Mac Ford and the Autobots tracked the Salas regime, and after crossing countless planets, realized that they had indeed arrived in other sectors.
Big Mac Ford looked out into the window, it was the first time he had observed an unfamiliar sector in this way, or rather, before the Autobot uprising, he thought he would only live as a deputy warden.
Thankfully, everything has changed, the Autobots' uprising has succeeded, and he has succeeded in seizing control of Moonton II and returning to the ranks of the Autobots, just as the former Predator Leader said when he met him at the Iron Keep.
"Salas, they ran so fast, we chased them slowly or didn't catch up with them, it's really ......"
Behind the body of the giant Ford, his lieutenant talks about Salas, who is being chased by them, and Salas has apparently noticed the Autobots' pursuing force, so he has been on the run, leaving them no chance.
"This is also something that can't be helped, after all, the universe is so big, it is not easy to pursue the enemy, not to mention, we are not only for pursuit this time, but also need to update the star map and find resource planets."
Big Mac Ford said to his lieutenant that since Salas wanted to escape, then let him escape, just so they also had time to update the star map and search for resource planets.
"Also, if we can, we're looking for space bridges from the Golden Age, which are the legacy of Cybertron's Golden Age."
"Even, if it can be fixed, maybe you can establish a connection with Cybertron, and if you have any new discoveries, you can report to Cybertron."
Big Mac Ford said that he had a lot on his mind, and that he would rather focus on reviving Cybertron than chasing Salas, or rather on finding a resource planet for Cybertron.
As a trusted commander of the Predator, he is aware of the Predator's Leader's research, the Teleportation Matrix, a strategic weapon comparable to a space bridge, capable of teleporting stars, refugees, and a weapon of wide area destruction......
"Space bridge? Sir, if you're talking about the space bridge, I'm afraid we've made a new discovery......"
Seeing that Big Mac Ford was so concerned about the Space Bridge, the adjutant also talked about the new discovery of their fleet, and under the watchful eye of Big Mac Ford, the adjutant manipulated the console to open the star map.
"The Supreme Council of the Golden Age has built so many space bridges in the universe that they can't even remember, you know that, sir."
"According to our ship signal feedback, there is an area in the direction of our fleet that feeds back the space bridge signal, and I think this should be the space bridge you hope to find."
"I just don't know, the last time this space bridge was used was in ...... Belch...... Hopefully we can fix it, or get it up and running again......"
The adjutant looked at the star map and said, and after speaking, he deliberately pointed to the signal area of the space bridge.
"The signal of the space bridge? In other words, this space bridge is still operating, it has not been completely abandoned, arrange it, approach this space bridge, and beware of the enemy's ambush. ”
Big Mac Ford said and looked at his lieutenant, since there is a feedback signal from the space bridge, it means that this space bridge has the possibility of repair.
Thinking of the space bridge that could be repaired, the giant Ford gave the order to the lieutenant, and at the same time, he did not forget to tell the lieutenant to act carefully when executing, after all, it was also possible that it was Salas's trap to be safer after all.
The giant Ford looked at the area where the space bridge emitted signals, if this is not Salas's trap, then how long it means that the space bridge in the universe has not been completely abandoned because of the passage of time.
In the future, Cybertron may be able to restart these bridges and recreate their golden age again.
With Big Mac Ford's order, the Second Fleet went to the Space Bridge signal area, and after sending a large number of reconnaissance ships to search, Big Mac Ford was finally able to determine that this was not a trap set by Salas.
This is a space bridge left over from the golden age, where most of the modules are still functioning, and the giant Ford has arranged for his subordinates to receive the data from the space bridge modules.
At the same time, the jumbo Ford, who returned to the bridge, did not forget to ask the adjutant about their coordinates.
"Can our coordinates be determined by the data from the star map and the space bridge?"
Big Mac Ford looked at the adjutant and asked, the data in the Space Bridge module provided them with a lot of useful information, and there was also some star map data.
"Sir, I'm using the Ark 2 star map, and the data from the space bridge is being fed into our star map, and when the update is complete, we should be able to locate our current location through parallax."
The Adjutant reported, operating the console to update their internal star map, gradually changing and adding many unseen star sectors as he operated the star map.
As never-before-seen sectors were added to the star chart, Big Mac Ford also noticed a planet in the star chart.
It's not a big planet, but it's special because the main part of the planet is not made of rocks, but metals and plastics, at least that's what the feedback is.
The planet has no tectonic plate activity and no magnetic field of its own, so it doesn't look like a normal planet, but rather it looks like it was created.
It's just that who created it, and it's in the star map of a space bridge.
"Metal planet, my memory module does not record that there are natural metal planets in the universe besides Cybertron, so what is the reason for the emergence of this planet."
The Big Mac Ford observes the metal planet on the star chart, and the Adjutant observes as well.
"Perhaps, we can send an exploration force to investigate, sir."
The adjutant looked at the metal planet and began to make his own suggestion to his commander, since he was so curious about this planet, it was time to send an exploration force to investigate, maybe there would be an unexpected gain.
"Investigate, indeed, there is a need for investigation here."
Big Mac Ford nodded after thinking for a while, and agreed with the adjutant's words, this metal planet is unlikely to be naturally formed, let them investigate the reason for the formation of this planet.
And, it just so happens that their fleet needs to rest here until the space bridge is repaired.
Big Mac Ford thought, looking at the metal planet.
The raised edges and corners on the surface of the planet look like pushes metal garbage, I wonder if it's the illusion of the giant Ford......
