Infinite Metaverse

Chapter 485 Voyage and Exile

A giant aerospace device with an irregular shape was quickly leaving Cybertron. It soon left the galaxy and headed towards the dark and boundless space.

During this time, Fu Qinghai has carefully studied the internal structure of the Well of Fire Source. This device, or building, is very large, as big as a frigate, a frigate in the real world. But its core, the source of fire, is actually very small, just like the one in the movie version of Transformers. It is a matrix cube. Its appearance should be made of some kind of metal material, with hieroglyphics all over the surface. It is said that it is ancient Cybertronian script. , no one is using it now. Except for the titanium master in the data hall, no one knows what is written on it.

Why is the source of fire so small and the well of fire so large? Because this Fire Source Cube is only responsible for providing fire and cannot give birth to Cybertronians out of thin air. The Fire Source Cube surrounds the Fire Source Cube and has many bulky ancillary devices, such as the propulsion device that launches it into space.

Fire is basically the soul of the Transformers. The Well of Fire produces industrial robots, and then the Fire Source "inspires" them into Transformers. This process can actually be artificially designed to a certain extent, such as building an excavator or shield machine. After giving fire, there is a high probability that this Cybertronian can only engage in mining work. This is how the Cybertronian class system can be controlled by the Supreme Council. Reasons for human manipulation.

Fu Qinghai and Bumblebee sat face to face on the cold metal floor, neither of them speaking.

Fu Qinghai didn't speak because he had nothing to say, and Bumblebee didn't speak because he couldn't speak.

The young Cybertronian fought with reckless abandon. Bumblebee saw the Decepticon leader Megatron in a battle, and took the initiative to challenge him. As a result, his throat was cut by Megatron with a sword, and the sound-producing device was destroyed. Megatron's weapon is equipped with a dark super energy body. The erosion of the dark super energy body has prevented Ratchet from completely repairing Bumblebee's vocal device, so it is still unable to speak normally.

Who is Megatron? Before launching the revolution, he was the king of the Caron Gladiator. After obtaining the dark super energy body, he became even more powerful. He killed the former leader Yu Tian Enemy in a duel. Facing such an opponent, everyone is afraid to avoid it. The bumblebee is indeed very brave, and the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger.

"Isn't it boring?"

Fu Qinghai said.

"Beep beep beep..."

Bumblebees make simple sounds.

His sound-producing device could only produce this "beep beep" sound, so Fu Qinghai and Bumblebee made an agreement to use long beep, short beep and interval pauses as three different signals to express his meaning according to the rules of Morse code.

Fu Qinghai understood and said calmly:

"So, you've never been on a spaceship or experienced space travel, right?"

"Beep."

Bumblebee nodded in agreement.

"Then enjoy the moment. The novel experience will soon become obsolete, and then there will be endless boring time. This is the case in interstellar navigation no matter which universe."

Fu Qinghai waved his hand.

Pretending to be "veteran" and "experienced", he taught the young people of Cybertron a lesson.

The bumblebee said a lot of "beep beep beep beep" again.

"Okay, okay, I get it."

Fu Qinghai waved his hand impatiently:

"I know you are full of expectations and enthusiasm for the future. Please calm down for a moment. Besides, we are already out of the battlefield, so there is no need to call me Commander. Just call me Qingshan."

Bumblebee then became quiet.

The hall fell into silence again.

Fu Qinghai casually picked up a delicate metal ball and tossed it up and down in his palm.

This ball is the only reward Fu Qinghai asked from Optimus Prime - a piece of fire.

After the Transformers die, the fire automatically leaves the body. Fu Qinghai couldn't intervene in this process, but thinking about it, there must be a way to intervene - otherwise, how could the shock wave give fire to the Ironclad Dragon Orbital Station? It must be planted with ready-made fire. There is no way for the Well of Fire Source to naturally give birth to a huge base King Kong such as the Armored Dragon. It can be inferred from this that Cybertronians can preserve fire.

It's just that Fu Qinghai didn't master this technique.

After Fu Qinghai made a request to Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime went to find the Titanium Master. The Titanium Master then gave Fu Qinghai a fire kindling and said that the fire kindling came from an old friend of his - a friend of the Thirteenth Primordial Ancestor. , what level is that?

Fu Qinghai did not dare to expect that this fire came from another ancestor, but Master Titanium was older than the Space Bridge. The Cybertronians of that era were probably not mediocre - mediocre fire could not be retained to this day.

Fu Qinghai recalled the scene and conversation at that time.

Master Titanium took out a small metal ball from the drawer, which was similar in size to a Pokémon ball. The outer shell was engraved with many hieroglyphics and complex patterns, making it appear delicate and compact. Master Ti handed the small ball to Fu Qinghai's hand, pressed his palm and said solemnly:

"It used to be my friend."

"Please treat it well, Qingshan."

"Click..." The lid of the box closed.

Fu Qinghai put the small ball back into the suitcase.

Then he turned to look at the glass porthole.

The hexagonal grid grows farther and smaller.

Cybertron eventually disappeared from sight.

He didn't know how long the journey would last. According to the setting of the movie version of Transformers, Cybertron is actually only four light years away from the earth - this distance, in many science fiction universes, does not even require super-light navigation to reach it. The Well of Fire's flight speed is very fast, and the Cybertronians are technologically advanced. Even though the space bridge has been abandoned, they still have sub-light navigation technology.

Cybertron also has air. Although the oxygen content in the air there is very low, it is not completely absent. There is no oxygen in space - so Fu Qinghai has stocked up on a lot of equipment and chemicals that can be decomposed into oxygen. He didn't know how long the voyage would take. Maybe no matter how much oxygen, water and food he stored, it wouldn't be enough. But he was not particularly worried, because even if the lack of water, oxygen, and food finally activated the Sassian meninges, the Space Marines could still enter a state of suspended animation and would not die completely.

For Bumblebee, although Cybertronians do not need to breathe oxygen, their life-sustaining activities also require energy, even if they are just sitting and doing nothing, they still consume energy. The super energy body reserves of the Autobots, including the entire Cybertron, were seriously insufficient, so they did not carry many extra super energy bodies on this voyage - after all, the war in Iron Castle was more intense. When necessary, Transformers can also enter a state of dormant shutdown, waiting to gain energy before waking up again.

"call……"

Fu Qinghai simply lay down on the floor.

Although the entire plot line event has not completely ended, his matter has ended.

We might as well take this opportunity to review what we have experienced in this reincarnation world.

In fact, to be honest, if the world of reincarnation had not determined the camp division at the beginning, Fu Qinghai's personal position was actually more in favor of Megatron at first, rather than Orion Pax, who later became Optimus Prime.

Fu Qinghai's view of history and world view made him look down on Optimus Prime's fighting method and line. Every Chinese knows the principle of "power comes from the barrel of a gun." Orion Pax initially thought that There is no need to form an armed force. Change can only be achieved by stimulating national awareness through online discussions - it is simply nonsense.

Megatron realized from the beginning the need to form an army, and to form an army that would be completely at his command. Not only that, Megatron also attaches great importance to intelligence collection and scientific research and development. The army was well trained and the men ordered the ban. His ability to act and organize far exceeds that of Orion Pax, an annoyingly naive guy.

Why would Megatron fail?

Why can Optimus Prime succeed?

At the beginning, Optimus Prime and Megatron were in the same camp. Megatron's Decepticons caused terrorist attacks to attract attention and then manipulated public opinion to build momentum. Their methods worked smoothly. When this operation finally attracted the attention of the Supreme Council, which expressed its willingness to listen to the views of dissidents, at this time, Orion Pax actually wanted to peacefully seize power through the parliamentary struggle line? Fu Qinghai almost fell to his knees.

What does this amount to?

This is equivalent to: Halfway through the Northern Expedition, the old regime was about to be overthrown. Alas, the war suddenly stopped. They sat down to negotiate and switched to a parliamentary struggle line. Representatives from all parties began to talk and make excuses, and made various speeches and debates to win over Voters voted... Fu Qinghai really couldn't complain.

Of course, this is also in line with the two people's growth experiences and class positions - Optimus Prime is a white-collar employee, a typical little bourgeoisie, with inherent weakness and compromise. Megatron is a blue-collar worker. In terms of class standpoint, he is the real zero-bourgeois and dares to break everything.

But what happened next was beyond his expectation. The Supreme Council was actually willing to delegate power and designated Orion Pax as the leader. Fu Qinghai also maliciously speculated: Maybe the Supreme Council just wants to choose a mascot, just like President Li Yuanhong; maybe the Supreme Council actually wants to drive a wedge between Optimus Prime and Megatron so that they can start fighting among themselves; in short, this is A move that sets a target and deflects conflicts. Later, Fu Qinghai realized that Master Titanium was hiding behind the scenes and fueling the fire.

Of course, this does not mean that Megatron is a perfect revolutionary. On the contrary, he has many black spots. Many people like to advocate the logic of "the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit", firmly believe that "history is written by the victors", and believe that the final result is far greater than the process means. However, the facts are not so absolute. Those in power can modify historical textbooks and promote their own justice and rationality, but they can never block the public's mouth. As long as someone is alive, what they have done will definitely be spread.

Megatron created terrorist attacks against civilians. Megatron intimidated other cities by massacring cities. Megatron used dark super energy bodies, something similar to drugs, as energy to increase the military's combat effectiveness... All of these are absolutely not true. What a just and legitimate government should do.

However, this is not the key.

The most important thing is.

The major event in the current plot line is the civil war in Cybertron, which only involves internal conflicts among the Cybertronians and does not involve other alien races. In other words, there are no external conflicts. Under this situation, Fu Qinghai felt that Megatron was more appealing to him than Optimus Prime. But knowing the character setting well, he understood that once other alien races were involved, Fu Qinghai, as a human, would never stand on the side of Megatron and the Decepticons.

Megatron is a racist.

He doesn't care if other alien races live or die.

In contrast, Optimus Prime and the Autobots have a gentle and equal attitude towards other alien races and are willing to respect the most basic rights of life. No matter how Fu Qinghai evaluates Megatron and Optimus Prime, if he wants to cooperate, he can only cooperate with The latter cooperates.

Megatron really represents the bottom.

But the bottom does not equal friends.

These principles are very simple, but for those diode paramecia on the Internet in Fu Qinghai's previous life, they are still too complicated, and the CPU in his brain may be burned.

At the same time, Fu Qinghai was also a little sighing and confused. In his previous life, many young people liked to ridicule middle-aged people, thinking that these "people these days" are weak and compromise, and don't know how to fight. But looking back now, Cybertron has been reduced to ruins due to the civil war. , the energy crystal is close to being exhausted. If there is no revolution or civil war, is it better to live under the oppression of the class system than to live in ruins?

Fu Qinghai doesn't know.

The "ship" continues to sail toward the deep space of the universe.

The oxygen has not been exhausted yet. Although Fu Qinghai has been maintaining a meditative state to reduce his metabolism, the assimilated food has been eaten and the water has been drunk. Due to hunger and thirst, Fu Qinghai had no choice but to fall into a state of suspended animation.

Bumblebees also begin to shut down and hibernate.

Fu Qinghai didn't know that the civil war on Cybertron was intensifying. Megatron led a Decepticon commando team to sneak into the iron castle and try to steal the plasma energy chamber. The super artificial intelligence Imaging One, which had never intervened in the civil war, wanted to protect him. The plasma energy chamber awakened the ancient guardian god of Cybertron, King Kong. At this point, the Autobots also have their own urban King Kong, which can compete with the Decepticon's armored dragon.

Fu Qinghai didn't know that at the beginning, Optimus Prime wanted to collect many small spaceships to form a fleet to lead the Autobots to leave Cybertron. However, the threat of the Ironclad Dragon Orbital Station was always like a sharp sword hanging above his head, and Optimus Prime finally gave up. The fleet plan instead began to concentrate resources on building a giant spacecraft and named it "Ark". Despite the obstacles of the Decepticons, the Generation One plan was still moving forward steadily.

Fu Qinghai didn't know that the Decepticons finally obtained the plasma energy chamber, and the Autobots finally repaired the space bridge. The Autobots and their families all boarded the Ark, intending to leave Cybertron through the space bridge.

At this time, Iron Castle, data recording hall.

"Didn't we talk about it before?"

Master Titanium's attitude was very impatient.

"Master Titanium, please forgive me and come with me. During the voyage, your wisdom is our best support. You are the only one who still remembers what happened when the Cybertronians sailed in space. None of us understand you."

Optimus Prime stood at the door of Master Titanium's study. As usual, "Covenant of Cybertron" was spread out on the desk, and the stylus was placed aside. Sometimes Optimus Prime felt that every move he made was described in advance by Master Titanium's book.

"How long are you going to rely on me, Optimus Prime?"

Master Titanium asked:

"If you want to lead the Autobots, you must learn to be independent. A true leader must let everyone know that the leader's decisions are all made independently."

Optimus Prime had nothing to say.

He was ashamed, but also angry.

"Let's go, Optimus Prime."

Master Titanium waved his hand and said:

"Bring Manifestation One with me. I've already put it in the Ark. The magic ball will protect me while Cybertron repairs itself. This has always been my plan. I will rebuild the data network. Destroy some parts and I will live. No one can hope for more in the years to come."

Optimus couldn't argue.

Qingshan has left, how can he leave his most trusted mentor and advisor, Master Titanium?

"Optimus Prime, I know what you are expecting, but I refuse." Master Titanium looked at Optimus Prime and said seriously, "I insist on my opinion, please respect the elders."

"I will."

Optimus Prime replied.

Whether it was out of intuition or the deep knowledge in the leadership module, Optimus Prime knew with certainty that the person in front of him was one of the Thirteen Ancestors, a Transformer that had existed since the beginning of history. Optimus Prime left alone, sad but confident that the Archivist knew what he was doing.

Soon there were reconnaissance reports: the Decepticon army came from the east, crossed the pole and headed north. Now, the time has come to lead the Autobots and set off on the Ark.

Optimus Prime came to the south end of the Well of Fire. There was only a big hole left after the Well of Fire was launched. He was surrounded by his closest comrades: Jazz, Prowl, Ironhide... Optimus Prime looked at them and couldn't help but feel... Thinking of other people——

Hundreds and thousands of men, fallen warriors whose names he didn't know, those who didn't make it onto the ark, those who didn't make it through the canyon with the troops, and those who still refused to enter. Ark people.

Too much, too much.

But as a leader you can only make decisions.

A vast and endless army of Autobots boarded the Ark. After the last person boarded the Ark, the door of the spacecraft slammed shut, and Optimus Prime ordered the pilot to take off.

He wanted to say goodbye to Master Titanium, but Master Titanium had probably gone through the complex underground network of Iron Castle at this moment to avoid the Decepticon search team. He also wanted to say goodbye to the brave and fearless Thunder Rescue Team, and Skyfire, who stayed here voluntarily and held back the Armored Dragon Orbital Station regardless of their own safety...

The Ark lifted off from the canyon, rising higher and higher, with the curved surface of Cybertron in full view. Optimus Prime stared at this scarred place, his only home.

As the Ark rose, the Decepticons came in large numbers and launched a final fierce attack on the Iron Fortress. Searchers swarmed in from the sky, shells poured down, destroying the automatic defense turrets of the iron castle. They completely destroyed all symbols of the class system that would have been anathema to Megatron.

But at this time, Megatron was chasing the Ark. He flew through the sky in the reorganized Ironclad Dragon Orbital Station. The Autobots don't know that the Armored Dragon Orbital Station is actually a three-transformer. Megatron triggered the armored dragon's third form - the giant battleship "Retribution", which can carry an army.

The Cybertron that once was will never come back.

The Ironclad Dragon orbital station left the orbit and completely transformed into the Retribution. It escaped the gravity of Cybertron. Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, and their most trusted Decepticon commander were all aboard this ship. On the battleship.

Megatron contacted Shockwave, who had previously ordered Shockwave to command the final battle against Iron Castle. Now Megatron finally understood Optimus Prime's true goal - how could he possibly be fooled? Megatron is on a mission to correct Shockwave.

"Shockwave, I leave Cybertron to you, wait until I come back. Remember, I will definitely come back. Don't think of it as a promotion, I just need someone to take good care of my place and my country when I leave. , I’m going to finish off the Autobots and Optimus Prime once and for all. Can I trust you?”

"I guarantee that Cybertron will not change at all after you come back." Shockwave assured, patting his chest.

"I hope so." Megatron said, "In such a long time, do you know what to do? You have to rebuild, you have to use the surviving Cybertronians, and there is no need to kill people casually. And, continue Your scientific research, see what improvements can be made to the Transformers, and what new discoveries can be made from the new transformed forms. Let the Autobots do hard work, let them all have a taste of the lower class, and they will Understand that they are doomed. Shockwave, when I return, I hope there will be no Autobot left on Cybertron. This is your mission, don't let me down."

At this time, the Ark had passed through the fuzzy boundary between Cybertron's atmosphere and orbital space. Optimus Prime's former personal channel, Orion Pax's channel, suddenly rang. got up.

"Congratulations, brother."

Megatron appeared on the screen.

"Are we brothers again now?"

Optimus Prime found that the further away he was from Megatron, the less he wanted to use the communication channels they once had.

"Family issues are always so complicated. We will always be brothers. We are tied together."

Megatron laughed and said:

"You can't escape, brother. If necessary, I will chase you across the sea of ​​stars. Even if it means burning every star in the galaxy to ashes, I will chase you until I find you." He raised his clenched fist and said, "I will definitely do it, I promise you. Then I want to see what is hidden in the body of your so-called leader."

"Then come to me, brother. If being hunted will save Cybertron from your madness, then come."

Optimus Prime turned his head and looked at the space beyond the asteroid belt and the two satellite bases. There were a series of space bridges, some of which had only a few remains. They were relics left over from accidents or sabotage in ancient times, while some still remained intact. Following the shape of the original channel. According to Master Titanium's confirmation, one of the energy crystals is still shining faintly.

The picture detected by the stern radar appeared on a display screen next to it. The outline of the Retribution was gradually approaching, and Megatron was still chasing Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime thought to himself: Megatron, you have violated your true intention. Now Cybertron is yours - a Cybertron that is sick and undergoing drastic changes, a Cybertron that is harmful to all living things, but it is yours after all, and yet you put it away for a little personal grudge. Throw it away.

"Speed ​​up, speed up!"

Optimus Prime ordered.

The Ark keeps approaching the space bridge.

The Retribution clung to the Ark.

The moment the Ark approached the space bridge, it started, and its radiant light surrounded the Ark. The Retribution also followed them into the space bridge's range. Before it could fully catch up with the Ark, the space bridge suddenly collapsed and disintegrated. Everything happened in a very short moment, too short to be calculated using existing measurement units. One second they were still here, but what happened the next second felt like nothing they had experienced in the time they could feel...

When the space bridge disintegrated, it released a lot of energy and super-energy bodies, which tore a rift in time and space. The Ark and the Retribution were sucked in one after another and appeared... somewhere. Immediately afterwards, the cracks closed automatically, and the super energy body dissipated. The Ark and the Autobots on board were floating in space, surrounded by unfamiliar stars.

Optimus Prime stood on the bridge of the Ark, and suddenly found that the universe had become vast and strange, and strange planets in the spiral arms of a strange galaxy stretched infinitely around them. Cybertron was nowhere to be seen, as was Megatron's Retribution, and the Ark's detectors and sensors could not detect any spacecraft-sized objects among the nearby stars.

"Where are we?"

Jazz asked.

Prowl squinted at the display screen.

"I don't know," he said. "These planets are not on the star map in the Iron Castle Hall of Records."

"When can we go home?"

Sideways Pao asked:

“Does Ark know the way?”

"I know the way."

Optimus Prime affirmed. He patted his chest and felt the resonance from the leadership module. The leadership module and his fire made him what he is now. He is the leader of the Cybertronians and he wants to illuminate Cybertron's darkest hour.

Now they have finally escaped from their brutal enemies and left their homeland to go where the Transformers have never gone before. Cybertron was so damaged that it took longer than the lifespan of some stars to heal itself. No matter what happens in the future, they will persevere because they are Autobots and they will continue to live strong. At some time in the distant future, the Autobots will return to Cybertron and once again declare that it is their planet and home.

Let Megatron chase us across the galaxy.

Optimus Prime clenched his fists and thought to himself.

No matter where we are, we will fight to the end.

Then, one day, we will all go home.
