Because Sun Cheng was pushed hard, he was not sure when the next tough battle would break out with Blackout's arrival, so it was urgent for him to improve his own strength.

In general, major arms deals between countries, even if it takes three to five months, it is not uncommon for the delivery of goods to take one or two years.

Sun Cheng recently learned through investigation that there is a country in this world called India, which had a pitiful arms trade with the main successor state of the already disintegrated Soviet Union - Russia. It is said that the Indians reached a purchase agreement for an aircraft carrier with Russia in the late 20th century, paid the money but until AD 2007, the purchased aircraft carrier was still being refitted in Russia, and even the official statement was that it would probably take three to five years to deliver.

Although the aircraft carrier is definitely the absolute king in arms trade, the construction from scratch to delivery for most countries usually takes three to four years at least, and six to seven years at most. The Indians were undoubtedly ruthlessly swindled by Russia.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Sun Cheng. Since he was anxious to receive the goods, he naturally could not sit still. He even made the Brazilian arms dealer, whom he caught red-handed, come forward again, using the name of the Nebrina Trading Import and Export Company to urge N&J to deliver the goods as soon as possible. His only requirement was that the number of goods delivered in the first batch could be reduced, but must be guaranteed as soon as possible.

Of course, Sun Cheng was willing to pay an additional 20% of "handling fees" for this.

Anyway, as a spy-type Decepticon, he had superb hacking ability. With the current computer level in his world, he could easily steal bank assets. In his eyes, the money was just a set of numbers.

"Squeak..."

With sparks flashing on his body, Sun Cheng sat quietly on the ground, digesting the unknown information from the All Spark, while allowing the Decepticon engineer he received from Onslaught to work on him.

"Is it not done yet?"

He had been sitting here for several days. Although mechanical life does not have fatigue or need to rest in sufficient energy, Sun Cheng is still human inside. He would feel tired if he waited too long, so he asked impatiently.

"Master, your mechanical body's strength has increased, making the operation more difficult. According to the design requirements, it will take a few more days to complete."

The Decepticon engineer, named Atlas by him, did not speak English. He used Cybertronian language to answer Sun Cheng.

Looking down at the several difficultly welded external ports on his chest, which seriously affected the aesthetics of his mechanical body, Sun Cheng didn't care about these things.

So after humming in a low voice, he closed his eyes again and let Atlas continue to work on him.

It is not an easy task to strengthen a Decepticon's mechanical body. Sun Cheng had heard from Onslaught a long time ago.

Although their levels are different, Onslaught's new turret designed for himself, which imitates human electromagnetic railguns, would greatly enhance his already strong ability if it was really made.

However, the same goes for Onslaught's higher demands. His new turret cannot be completed in just a day or two, as he repeatedly modified and overturned his original design.

Sun Cheng is not like Onslaught. His requirements are not that high. He just needs to improve his strength as soon as possible, so that he won't become a victim in the possible new conflict.

He is not inferior to Starscream, Soundwave, Onslaught, Blackout, and others who cannot be sure of the location of the All Spark on Earth. Sun Cheng had seen and touched the All Spark.

It is also because of this that he has become more and more uneasy as more and more Decepticons, even their archenemies, the Autobots, have appeared on Earth.

In Frenzy's memory seal, Sun Cheng saw how tragic the ancient civil war on Cybertron Planet was.

Powerful Decepticons could blast Autobots with one shot, while sharp Autobot swords could easily cut through Decepticon armor. There were also overwhelming artillery and missiles that could destroy Earth countless times. Both the Decepticon army and the Autobot resistance could easily destroy Earth.

Thanks to the Decepticons and Autobots' self-destructiveness, the civil war lasted for millions of Earth years, emptying Cybertron Planet, which was nearly a thousand times the size of Earth (in G1, I remember the official setting was that Cybertron Planet was similar in size to Saturn), and consuming the resources of neighboring star systems. Eventually, they had to submit a ceasefire agreement and go into hibernation to slow down energy consumption when both sides were on the brink of extinction.

Legend has it that in the ancient era of Cybertron Planet, everyone had a powerful Spark, and even the Decepticon Leader- Megatron, in the early days of the Cybertronian Civil War, was perhaps not much stronger than a grunt.

Although the strength of the Decepticons and Autobots has declined significantly compared to ancient times, their power is still unquestionable. Sun Cheng, who feels no sense of security in this world, is eager to increase his own strength.

On a nearby shelf, an M61 Vulcan cannon is lying quietly. Once the digging and fitting plugins on his mechanical body are ready, he can carry the Vulcan cannon on his body. Sun Cheng stole it using some shady means, reportedly from a retired F-16 fighter jet that was dismantled and obtained by a capable American weapon collector.

After accidentally seeing the pictures posted by the collector online a few years ago, Sun Cheng didn't want to provoke the nerves of the US military again, so he spent some effort to find the collector's address and stole it. Compared to the Vulcan cannon, Sun Cheng obviously favors the GAU-8/A Avenger, which is called the "king of aircraft gun firepower". But when he and N&J asked to buy it, they were told straightforwardly that it was an absolute non-sale item that the military prohibited from exporting.

It can be seen that this kind of artifact is really not something that can be bought if one wants to. It can only be obtained by other means in the future.

After Atlas worked hard for about ten days, he finally stopped working and respectfully reminded Sun Cheng, "Master, it's done." Sun Cheng immediately stood up from the ground and pushed Atlas away, saying, "You can leave now!"

"Yes!"

After receiving his order, Atlas immediately picked up the scattered tools on the ground and left the workshop. As soon as he left, Sun Cheng eagerly picked up the heavy Vulcan cannon and waved it in his hand for a while before reluctantly hanging it on his chest through the designed plugins.

With the automatic closure of the last plugin, Sun Cheng looked at the huge floor mirror in the workshop and the excitement on his face quickly disappeared. The giant Vulcan cannon hung from his mechanical body's chest, almost straight down to a distance of more than ten centimeters from the ground, looking as ugly and awkward as it could be. If it weren't for being able to be removed, Sun Cheng himself wouldn't be able to accept it.

However, with a thought, Sun Cheng immediately activated the Transformation function. With the mechanical body's squirming movement, which took three to five seconds longer than usual, he completely transformed back into the form of a Grim Reaper drone. The Vulcan cannon was hanging from the lower abdomen of his mechanical body, looking much better than his humanoid form. Even the cold light emitted by the tuned and maintained barrel added some imposing manner to his Grim Reaper form.

"Not bad, it's worth the effort that Atlas and I put in for so long!"

After gliding around the spacious workshop for a while, Sun Cheng transformed back into humanoid form with satisfaction. In order to facilitate the use of the Vulcan cannon, Atlas also redesigned the ammunition supply system for him.

Thanks to Onslaught, who originally designed a set of ammunition supply systems for those two rapid-fire machine guns inside Sun Cheng's mechanical body when he was designing a new mechanical body for him. Although Sun Cheng didn't have much research in this area, Atlas was a Decepticon engineer who specialized in industrial production. Under his demand, Atlas made minor modifications based on Onslaught's original design. In addition, Sun Cheng's current mechanical body is also larger than Onslaught's initial design, which allowed Atlas to leave a storage space inside his mechanical body that can hold 280 rounds of 20mm ammunition.

However, this amount of ammunition storage was obviously too small, and Sun Cheng was very dissatisfied. But this was already the limit of the modifications that he and Atlas could achieve.

After playing around with the machine gun in the workshop for a while, Sun Cheng was about to leave the workshop and go to the laboratory to continue his new train of thought. Suddenly, Core received a remote communication.

Subconsciously clicking on it, he laughed coldly when he saw it, "Have you finally contacted me, Onslaught? You really can't help but want to see what you've been busy with for more than twenty days..."

Reaching out and grabbing the Vulcan cannon that he had just put down, Sun Cheng filled the magazine with a box of 20mm caliber aircraft machine gun bullets made in Brazil from the base's arsenal. Then, he left his base and flew towards Onslaught's location.
