"The wind is picking up; prepare for indoor operations!"
Once a storm hit Mars, there was a danger of small to medium-sized robots being blown away, except for the massive engineering robots weighing over a ton.
In a previous sudden storm outbreak, an engineering robot weighing over 800 kilograms was blown a kilometer away, while several small robots weighing over 300 kilograms were blown over a dozen kilometers away.
Unlike Earth, Mars had less than one percent of Earth's atmospheric density, making the storms here somewhat less powerful than on Earth but more frequent and widespread.
Inside the base, Adam was overseeing operations. After over a month of work, the underground cave initially chosen by Sun Cheng and his team had transformed significantly.
A large boulder blocking the middle section of the entrance channel had been removed. To prevent sand from entering the cave during storms, an alloy door was installed at the entrance.
The passageway inside had been widened and leveled, although it hadn't undergone metal treatment yet. Currently, only a temporary power line was stretched to ensure easy opening of the alloy door at the entrance.
The irregular space that was about 7,800 square meters in size had been flattened into a spacious area measuring 90 by 120 by 75 meters.
While not many pieces of equipment had been installed in this space yet, it was filled with various items and served as a temporary transfer station.
A passage, now expanded to 20 by 20 meters, led to a massive space of over 200,000 square meters, which was the planned location for the central control center of the Mars base.
A pseudo-Artificial Intelligence, replicated by Decepticon engineers, had been temporarily placed here and had begun coordinating various tasks in the base.
After brief exchanges between Sun Cheng, Adam, and Prometheus, they walked straight to the depths of the base, where a spacious lounge had been prepared exclusively for Sun Cheng.
It was his privilege, and no one would disturb Sun Cheng without permission when he was resting.
He had come here for a small experiment before boarding the spaceship back to Earth.
...
It took him a while to relax his furrowed brows and digest the sudden influx of information in his mind. Sun Cheng took a deep breath, inhaling the faintly sweet-scented air in the room. It was the scent of osmanthus fragrance, a perfume that Ye Qi had bought and placed in his study. She did this because she noticed he often used the study after returning home, so she poured some in there every day.
The rich yet not overpowering fragrance helped ease his highly tense nerves.
"...No matter how many times I experience it, I can't seem to get used to it. It should only be an instant transition. Why does it always feel so awkward when I return..."
The unfamiliarity and aversion to his own body made Sun Cheng lean back in the chair in his study, his eyes showing no emotional fluctuations.
Every time he briefly returned from the "Transformers Universe" to the "Real World," he felt as if his brain found his body incredibly unfamiliar, to the point where even his fingers didn't seem to obey him.
Sun Cheng knew it wasn't an illusion but rather a result of his soul gradually becoming accustomed to and accepting Frenzy's Body.
Deep down, he had even started to embrace his own formidable combat capabilities and terrifying learning abilities when controlling Frenzy's Body in the "Transformers Universe."
So much so that Sun Cheng himself had begun to despise and detest his fragile body, which could be resolved with just a knife or a bullet.
"It's truly a frightening feeling!"
Sun Cheng slumped weakly in his study chair for over half an hour before he gradually felt that the resistance between his brain and body was becoming less pronounced.
Subconsciously, he attempted to clench his fists, and then he turned his head slightly to examine his right hand. Three fingers were barely able to clasp together, while two others twitched faintly.
"The resistance seems stronger than before," Sun Cheng noted.
Bracing himself on the office desk in front of him, Sun Cheng slowly rose from his chair. His study was quite spacious, as it had been converted from the master bedroom on the ground floor of the luxury mansion he purchased in the Real World.
In a corner of the study, Sun Cheng extended his hands forward with a thought, and a three-meter-long alloy box, approximately one and a half meters wide and just over a meter tall, materialized before him.
"Xiao Wu, keep watch for me!"
Placed on the desk by Sun Cheng, Xiao Wu, disguised as a regular smartphone, transformed into a Mini Decepticon upon hearing the command. Meanwhile, Sun Cheng proceeded to remove his clothing. Since he was in his study where no one would disturb him, he even removed his underwear.
Lifting the lid of the alloy box, Sun Cheng slowly climbed inside, calmly lying down following the humanoid indentation inside.
"Xiao Wu, activate this Medical Pod, input the 64-bit authorization code, password *****. Administer full-body medical treatment, and inject a set of nanorobots into my body..."
"Yes, Master!"
Xiao Wu hopped over to the Medical Pod, scanned the panel briefly, and gained access as per Sun Cheng's request. The Medical Pod was successfully initiated.
Squeak!
The hatch of the Medical Pod quickly sealed shut. Although Sun Cheng didn't have claustrophobia, he didn't like confined spaces, so he instinctively closed his eyes.
Feeling several blue lights scanning his body repeatedly, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right arm. Then, a sensation of cold liquid seemed to be injected into his body. Fatigue crept over him. He hadn't rested in the Transformers Universe for four to five months, and as he relaxed, he gradually fell into slumber.
This slumber lasted for an uncertain period.
When Sun Cheng opened his eyes again, he found himself facing a piece of transparent glass slightly larger than his cheek. Perhaps due to the extended rest, this time his consciousness responded faster than before.
He quickly remembered that he had returned to the Real World and expertly summoned his little assistant.
"Xiao Wu, open the hatch!"
After a hissing sound of venting air, the Medical Pod's hatch slowly opened.
Sun Cheng, completely unclothed, slowly sat up from the Medical Pod. He clenched his fist and sensed this familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar body. Then, with an expressionless face, he rolled out of the Medical Pod, picked up his previously discarded clothes from the floor, put them on again, and returned to the chair in front of his desk. He silently examined a inconspicuous needle hole on his arm.
"Hopefully, this experiment won't disappoint me."
