Chapter 464: How Transformers Are Made

Do it when you think of it, and do it when you say it.

Orion Pax was familiar with how the communication network operated. He shuttled back and forth between different nodes of the matrix all day long. If there was anything he learned from these jobs, it was to send information to specific targets without being noticed by anyone else. In the dim and silent data mining area of ​​the Record Hall, he continued to do his work, and quietly formulated a plan to send information to the rebels in the arena.

Orion Pikes thought about what to send for a long time. He kept thinking about it during work, and finally decided to send a simple message before leaving work:

"What you said is interesting, and more people heard it than you think. Let's talk about it."

He spent many hours after sending the message, combing through the network's communications, looking for more scraps of information about Megatronus, things he had said, done, might have considered, and was planning.

…

The next day, in Iron Castle, at the Macartan Old Oil Mill, Orion, Fu Qinghai and Jazz met there.

This was Fu Qinghai's first time to come to a bar on Cybertron and experience the daily life of the Cybertronians.

The Jazz seemed to be a frequent diners here and was very familiar with the menu. As soon as he sat down, he shouted at the top of his voice:

"Boss, one portion of pulled beryllium, one portion of pickled cesium sausage, one portion of crispy gear, and one portion of chrome alloy pie, sprinkled with rust powder and lead sulfide crystals. As for the drinks... one glass of polonium soda and one glass of high-alkane turbine fluid. This meal is on me."

The Jazz leaned back in his chair and spoke carelessly, and suddenly as if remembering something he added:

"Oh, by the way, another serving of scum, for our human friend Qingshan, ha ha ha ha..."

Jazz said, smirking.

"Uh, are you sure?"

The bar owner turned his head and asked curiously.

"What is that?"

Fu Qinghai asked Orion.

He felt that the Jazz's smile was rather malicious.

"That's a kind of mixed grain food, specially for Cybertron's newborns." Orion Pax explained helplessly, and then said, "Don't mess around, sir. Qingshan can't eat waste, you know that."

Oh, got it, baby food.

Fu Qinghai understood.

Jazz laughed at my poor digestion.

There is no way, just let him laugh at me.

Even Space Marines cannot eat these inorganic foods, but Fu Qinghai knows that Transformers can eat organic matter. In the G1 Transformers, as long as some modifications are made to add a biological furnace in the stomach, Transformers can obtain energy by eating vegetables, grains and meat, but the efficiency is not high. Some Decepticon Transformers even eat humans directly.

There weren't many people in the bar at this time, and it looked very empty. The boss first served some snacks and drinks, and then returned to the kitchen to prepare other food.

"He responded."

Orion Pax suddenly spoke up.

"His name is 'Megatron' now, right? I remember. What did you say to him?"

Jazz asked.

"He had a much bigger audience than he thought."

Orion picked up the wine glass and said lightly.

"So how did he respond to you?"

Jazz continued to ask.

"He said ... 'You're more right than you think, and I'm more right than you think.'"

Orion thought about it and said.

"Ha ha ha ha."

The Jazz laughed loudly upon hearing this:

"This guy is full of confidence, right? He is really confident."

Fu Qinghai was listening nearby and looked confused.

What are you talking about?

It seems that Orion Pax contacted Megatron privately? And the two of them had a good chat and admired each other? Did he want to join the riot... oh no revolution?

Hiss... this is fucking.

Fu Qinghai fell into deep thought.

No matter what Megatron's starting point is for the revolution, he is in the Autobot camp. Why does Orion want to join the Decepticons now?

Aren't you guys avoiding me when you talk about this?

Fu Qinghai looked at the two people helplessly.

Although Orion Pax is not a key character in the plot, this guy is quite capable. Unlike Megatron, whose subordinates are all gladiators with low cultural level who can only fight and kill, Orion Pax is a data recorder in the Data Recording Hall and has good hacking skills. If he joins the Decepticons, it will be a huge improvement for the Decepticons.

Fu Qinghai thought to himself:

Should I take the initiative...

"Qingshan."

Orion Pax suddenly said.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Fu Qinghai raised his head.

I thought to myself, I haven't even thought about taking the initiative yet, could it be that he has already sensed my murderous intent?

Orion looked at Fu Qinghai and said sincerely,

"I was able to make this decision thanks to the political stories you told me. They made me understand what a real person should do. It is not to waste time in the class system, doing nothing and waiting for death, but to keep trying and working hard for what you believe in your heart!"

Orion Pax picked up his glass and took a big sip of polonium soda, then stared straight ahead and said:

"The most precious thing in life is life, and life comes only once. Therefore, a person's life should be spent in this way: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret wasting his years, nor will he be ashamed of doing nothing. In this way, when he dies, he can say: I have dedicated my entire life and all my energy to the most precious cause in life - fighting for the liberation of all Cybertronians!"

His voice was firm and powerful.

Fu Qinghai looked dazed and speechless.

I'm telling you "How the Steel Was Tempered"... not asking you to join the Decepticons!

"Sorry, I took the liberty of changing the word 'human' to 'Cybertron' because I like this passage so much and I think the author said it very well."

Orion smiled apologetically at Fu Qinghai.

"…It's okay. I don't mind."

Fu Qinghai curled the corner of his mouth and said.

"I'm going to Kalon City. I want to see Megatron."

Orion Pax turned to the knight and said:

"He has agreed to meet with me."

The Jazz suddenly became serious after hearing this:

"Are you ready to meet? You were too thoughtless before. You should think about this matter. It may affect you very seriously, much more seriously than it affects me."

"I'm sure I'm ready."

Orion Pikes said.

Fu Qinghai listened to the conversation and looked at the empty table next to him, with a pained expression on his face and didn't say anything.

Orion Pax is going to Charon City to join Megatron? Should I stop him in advance?

"By the way, Qingshan."

Orion Pax turned back and said:

"Master Titanium seems to have something to talk to you about."

…

Iron Fort, top floor of the Data Recording Hall.

Master Tai tapped his stylus on the desk. On the screen in front of him was a scrolling message, which contained a conversation between his data recorder Orion and the rebellious gladiator Megatron. The word "rebellion" was a bit serious, but it was very applicable. Megatron's original words seemed to mean this.

Orion Pax thought that his data encryption communication was impeccable. Maybe he could fool those people in the Supreme Council who were doing nothing but eating and drinking. Maybe he could fool other data recorders, but he could never fool Master Titanium. In fact, every move of Orion Pax was under the control of the Archivist.

Orion: "At my level, I can read and catalog, but I can't analyze."

Megatron: "If you can't analyze it beforehand, how do you know how to catalog it?"

Orion: "I try not to ask myself questions that have no answers."

Megatron: "Who says you can't find the answers? I once had no name. I fought in the gladiatorial arena only for the amusement of strangers. Now I am Megatron, and I fight when and where I please, for my own reasons."

Orion: "Fighting who?"

Megatron: "Those who said I had no right to decide my own fate... I fought them just as they said to you. Interesting that my words even reached the Iron Keep."

Orion: "My job is to listen to all the information."

Megatron: "But you don't reply to every message you hear, and your communication line is hidden because you are afraid of being eavesdropped, right?"

Orion: "Yes."

Megatron: "Many Cybertronians are willing to settle down in the Iron Fortress. But you are still not satisfied even though you are in the Iron Fortress. What does this mean?"

Orion: "Maybe we should meet."

Megatron: "Really? Why should I see you?"

Orion: "If your goal is to go beyond Kallon City, you will need to modify your message so that it resonates beyond the class that was born in the smelter and died in the arena."

Megatron: "The rest of Cybertron should learn to understand that group, the lower class group. Even you don't understand, and you still think you're one of us."

Orion: "Then tell me what I don't understand."

Master Titanium gently closed his eyes.

Sure enough... this is just the beginning.

Cybertron Covenant had clearly foreseen this, and now he saw the vague extension of this event happening before his eyes. Orion Pax's days as a data recorder in the Iron Fortress Records Hall were coming to an end. An era of great change and conflict was looming, that was for sure.

The only thing that is uncertain is to what extent he can influence this upcoming major event and ensure that it develops in the right direction... Master Titanium fell into deep thought.

Orion Pax is just a young man who has not experienced the world. He is not the ideal candidate in Master Titanium's mind. But he has no choice. He is like all other Cybertronians. He can only experience the future when it becomes a reality. The Covenant cannot decide everything.

"Tap, tap, tap…"

There was a gentle knock on the door.

The archivist's thoughts were interrupted

when Fu Qinghai stood outside the side door.

"Master Titanium, are you looking for me?"

"Hello, human warrior."

The archivist turned around and said, the old Cybertronian put down his stylus and slowly stood up:

"It's like this, there is something that may be related to you. Our people found three bodies outside the Hydra Island Airport. They are not the bodies of Cybertron's carbon-based creatures. According to my judgment, they may be your kind. I would like to ask you to cooperate with us in investigating those bodies and confirm their identities."

Corpse? Human?

It must be a reincarnation!

Fu Qinghai nodded and said:

"Okay, I will cooperate with the investigation."

"I'll arrange for someone to take you there."

Master Titanium said politely.

"OK."

Fu Qinghai turned and walked out.

According to Orion Pax, this archivist, his immediate superior, had a somewhat eccentric personality, and in this era, people still used pen and paper as recording tools and interactive interfaces. Moreover, his name was exactly the same as one of the Thirteen Ancestors, which was also very strange, but no one in the entire Iron Fortress believed that this old man was one of the Thirteen Ancestors. Orion did not believe it, and neither did the other recorders - after all, the Thirteen Ancestors were just a myth, which was the consensus of most Cybertronians, and whether they really existed was unknown.

Master Titanium admires Orion very much.

Orion also respects Master Titanium.

Many people have noticed this.

Fu Qinghai also felt that Master Tai was a little bit weird, but what really surprised him was that when he entered the room just now, he caught a glimpse of the giant iron book in front of the archivist. The book was open, and on one of the pages, the date was written...

It's next month.

The content doesn't sound like some kind of future plan.

More like solid facts and news.

What is this? Is it a prophecy?

Could it be... that book? And that pen?

The more Fu Qinghai thought about it, the weirder it seemed.
