Surrounding Hynix, dozens of engineers, technical officers, and Decepticon engineers were busy for several hours, finally completing all the work.
"Commander-in-chief, Lord Hynix's new body is ready. Our next step is to inject energy into his Spark and conduct a comprehensive inspection and adjustment of his mechanical body."
"This process may take about 15-20 hours, so do you have any instructions for the next steps?"
The completion of Hynix's mechanical body construction did not mean he would wake up immediately.
Sun Cheng was aware of this and shook his head before answering, "I'll come back when he wakes up. The Shipyard Four is nearby, and I plan to check it out!"
On the side of Lake Titicaca, Base Two indeed planned a shipyard, but it was not a traditional shipyard.
Under Base Two's command, although there was a growing fleet of sea transport ships, most of them were directly purchased from a country in the Far East.
Some crucial strategic materials and equipment, though transported by Cargo Submarine, had their shipyards on the eastern coast of the Pacific Ocean.
The shipyard near Lake Titicaca, in the heart of the South American continent, was unique.
Just like the special laboratory set up by Base Two here, solely to assist in the reconstruction of Hynix's new mechanical body.
The Shipyard Four here didn't manufacture ordinary ships but Spaceships.
"Explorer-class cargo Spaceship is almost ready to launch!"
After a rush of work for over half a year, the first batch of four Explorer-class cargo Spaceships had entered the outfitting stage.
Barring any unexpected issues, the fastest ship, the number one, would undergo Earth flight testing in about a month.
And the fourth ship, which started construction latest, had been outfitting for over half a month.
Sun Cheng, who started construction with the fourth ship, had only learned about the progress of this Spaceship through Mirage and his Decepticon engineers. Today was an excellent opportunity to see it in person.
Among the first batch of Explorer-class cargo Spaceships, the fourth ship was somewhat special.
Not because it had any technical differences from the other three, but because the first three ships were built in the central control area of foundation #2.
It wasn't until the fourth ship was ready to start that a Decepticon engineer suggested moving the shipyard to Lake Titicaca.
His proposal received support from many Decepticon engineers. The reason was simple: the Explorer-class cargo Spaceship was massive, larger than an Earth aircraft carrier by two or three circles.
Although they had vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, such a colossal object required special attention, whether ascending or descending.
Because no one wanted to experience the impact of such a giant falling from high altitude.
And this concern wasn't baseless, especially considering the Spaceship had not undergone testing.
Relying solely on data from blueprints, even Decepticon engineers couldn't guarantee that all electronic devices inside the Spaceship would function flawlessly after outfitting.
To prevent accidents, it was best to choose a relatively open area for testing.
In the South American region under Base Two's control, Lake Titicaca, surrounded by several countries turned into a military exclusion zone, was undoubtedly the most suitable place for flight testing.
As soon as Sun Cheng mentioned going to Shipyard Four, the Decepticon engineers supervising Hynix's mechanical body manufacturing, though somewhat disappointed, dared not object.
"Very well, Commander-in-chief. Once Lord Hynix's mechanical body testing is complete, we will summon you before officially awakening him!"
"Understood."
Nodding, Sun Cheng glanced again at Hynix lying on the ground before turning and heading outside.
Although Shipyard Four was near Lake Titicaca, it was still dozens of kilometers away from where Hynix's mechanical body was being modified.
Before Sun Cheng could arrive, a communication request automatically linked up.
Handled by the core and confirmed as coming from Thunder, he then accepted the communication.
In the next moment, Thunder's deep voice resonated in his mind.
"Commander-in-chief, a satellite deployed in the lunar orbit just captured something!"
Sun Cheng's heart tightened, and he gave a stern command, "Transfer the captured video over!"
The largest Decepticon military base in the Solar System is located on the far side of the Moon. Over the past half year, they have launched several Decepticon invasions of Earth. As a target specifically targeted by the Moon, Sun Cheng couldn't forget the past. Although he was not yet clear about what technology the Decepticons on the far side of the Moon used to make their Satellites deployed around the Moon yield nothing, he knew better than to forget.
Despite not knowing what technology the Decepticons on the far side of the Moon used to render their satellites undetectable, Sun Cheng's memory was not so short-lived. The First Generation reconnaissance satellites failed, so they upgraded to the Second Generation. When the Second Generation failed, they upgraded to the Third and Fourth Generations. Under Sun Cheng's command, a Decepticon engineer was dedicated to upgrading the satellites.
In the past half year, using the Golden Eagle series of Spaceships, they had deployed over forty small reconnaissance satellites above the Moon. Although large areas on the far side of the Moon were still difficult to observe due to some technology, most areas on the Moon could now be monitored by Base Two.
Thanks to this, Decepticons mining helium-3 resources on the Moon were occasionally captured by Base Two. However, the fact that Thunder urgently contacted him suggested something extraordinary.
"It seems like they've discovered something extraordinary!"
As expected, after Thunder received his command, he immediately transmitted the video captured by the Satellite.
When Core received and processed the information from the video, Sun Cheng's eyes widened suddenly.
"Onslaught!"
He finally understood why Thunder was so cautious.
It turned out that the Satellite deployed in the lunar orbit by Base Two had captured the images of five Decepticons flying away from the Moon.
Among these five Decepticons, one figure was unforgettable for Sun Cheng.
For the past two years, he had been the high-ranking under Decepticon commander, Onslaught, whom Sun Cheng had used to wave the banner.
"So, Onslaught hid on the Moon? No wonder I couldn't find him on Earth!"
Recognizing Onslaught, waves of turmoil surged in Sun Cheng's heart.
His attitude towards Onslaught had been a mix of fear and closeness in the past, but now it had turned entirely hostile.
The reason was simple—allegiance determined attitude.
