When the continuous dull explosion sounds began to resonate from the ground, Sun Cheng stood quietly in the No. 1 laboratory of the underground base.

"Is it time to begin?"

With the Core function fully activated, an increasing number of surveillance devices had lost contact with him. Sun Cheng was well aware that it was likely the external monitoring devices set up by his engineers had been discovered or destroyed.

Although the explosions continued outside, he knew that the Sound Nest troops couldn't inflict much damage on the opposing side. At most, they caught them off guard.

Sure enough, after snapping out of his thoughts, Sound Nest swiftly started using rocket artillery to violently clear the minefields. He believed it wouldn't be long until they advanced to the nuclear missile launch site.

Time was running out for Sun Cheng.

Suddenly furrowing his brows, he raised his head and glanced at the reinforced wall above. However, he quickly averted his gaze.

One of the radiation spheres had lost data connection, indicating it had been destroyed. This caused Sun Cheng's heart to tighten. He knew that he was running out of time.

This was his own war, a war fought by a lone individual!

The Decepticon engineers didn't possess much combat prowess. While they could rely on the advantages of their mechanical bodies to fight against the most elite soldiers, they were ultimately not specialized combat units. It was highly likely that a few rounds of gunfire or a single anti-tank rocket could completely destroy them.

Although this exposure exceeded Sun Cheng's plan, he understood that even if he called upon Forerunner and Frenzy, his only two combat units, he wouldn't be able to withstand the Autobots who were heading straight for him.

The previous operation in Tucson had given him a sense of imminent danger. Numerous advanced Autobot warriors had mobilized. Sun Cheng wasn't Megatron, and it wasn't impossible for him to be left behind due to a misstep.

Hence, this time he needed to deal a severe blow to the Sound Nest troops, so that the US government backing them would understand that he was not someone to be trifled with.

His gaze returned to what lay before him—a massive box. Finally, Sun Cheng's hand moved.

It was an ordinary cargo container, manufactured to standard specifications, appearing inconspicuous.

However, Sun Cheng slowly reached out his palm towards it. As his palm touched the container, a stream of information immediately flowed from his hand to the Core.

In the next second, the container seemed to disintegrate. The front, rear, left, and right sides of the box simultaneously emitted an almost imperceptible mechanical sound before splitting apart, revealing the two colossal humanoid mechanical bodies quietly placed within.

Self-made industrial robots No. 19 and No. 20!

They were the two industrial robots recently produced at the No. 2 base in Brazil.

Yet, there was a slight distinction—No. 19 and No. 20 were not ordinary industrial robots!

Sun Cheng's gaze lingered on the two robots, filled with anticipation.

The industrial robots were a temporary project he initiated due to the severe shortage of Decepticon engineers.

Based on the existing industrial robot templates on Earth, using some technology from Cybertron Planet and replicating the database of engineers and soldiers, these robots were created. In essence, they don't possess much intelligence and can be strictly described as more advanced industrial machinery compared to the existing industrial robots on Earth.

Initially, Sun Cheng didn't have any plans to militarize them. After all, he himself possessed a Decepticon mechanical body and was well aware that the mechanical beings from Cybertron Planet were akin to gods when it came to machines, especially those equipped with electronic components.

He was concerned that all his efforts in creating a robot army would go to waste if they could be easily controlled by the Autobots or other Decepticons during confrontations. However, on that day, the impact from the moon made Sun Cheng suddenly realize that perhaps the industrial robots he had created were not as easily influenced as he had imagined.

Based on this discovery, he decided to restart his previous armed robot program. The two industrial robots numbered 19 and 20 were Sun Cheng's experimental prototypes. As Core activated, two liquid metal joints immediately extended from inside and outside his mechanical body, swiftly connecting to inconspicuous sockets on the inactive bodies of robots 19 and 20. Subsequently, a wealth of information data quickly flowed into the central processing units within these two robots.

"Squeak..."

Accompanied by the clanking sound of the metal joints, the mechanical bodies of robots 19 and 20 began to tremble violently.

Not long after, as their eyes suddenly opened, a cold and hollow electronic voice immediately sounded, "Battle robots No. 1 and No. 2 have completed activation. Core functionality enabled... Initiating automatic adjustment of mechanical bodies... Loading battle data... Checking weapon and ammunition reserves... Mission identified... Unknown data packet detected, initiating decryption... Data decryption complete, unknown data identified as... No. 1 and No. 2, proceed to attack..."

Boom!

After the activation was completed, two modified industrial robots, No. 19 and No. 20, which had not yet finished debugging and finalization, suddenly leaped up with an unexpected agility. The heavy weight of their bodies created two dull echoes as they landed in the spacious laboratory.

Sensing the scanning gaze of the data falling upon himself, Sun Cheng observed with great interest without interference.

He had already loaded the identification system for friend or foe into the Core processing centers of No. 19 and No. 20!

Not disappointing him, this system easily helped No. 19 and No. 20 determine their identities. After the scan, the two mechanical bodies were no less impressive than Sun Cheng, surpassing the size of an ordinary industrial robot by two times. They immediately proceeded towards the laboratory's exit, without looking back, following the task he had left behind!

"The next step is to test their combat capabilities!"

Only after the complete disappearance of No. 19 and No. 20 did Sun Cheng retract his line of sight. Meanwhile, he continuously controlled the Core to lock onto them, collecting combat data.

On the other hand, upon receiving the latest transmitted data from outside the base, the curve of his mouth grew wider and wider, while the faint blue light in his electronic eyes turned icy cold!

"So, it's almost time to clear the field!"

Uttering this emotionless soliloquy, Sun Cheng suddenly lifted his head, and several control data immediately emanated from the Core.

In the next moment, the remaining five automated ground-based missile launch systems, lurking outside the base, activated. They swiftly locked onto the targets hovering in the sky above and simultaneously launched the loaded, enhanced Hellfire missiles.

Simultaneously, two concealed locations outside the base!

Two elongated boxes, buried in the shallow underground, suddenly illuminated with a crimson countdown display on their LCD screens, as they received the remote activation data.

"10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1!"
