Chapter 486 Baseband

Earth, North Africa, Sahara.

The desert at noon is dry, hot and silent, like undulating stretches of yellow silk. In the distance there is a hazy and distorted mirage looming. The sun's halo shines straight down from the sky, and the breeze occasionally blows up a wisp of yellow sand from the tip of the dune.

A daytime meteor streaked across the sky.

A few seconds later, "Boom——"

The desert trembled violently, and the yellow sand was lifted up like waves. The sky was full of dust and spread in all directions, even causing a small sandstorm, which then slowly dissipated.

The area within dozens of kilometers is an uninhabited area in the heart of the Sahara Desert, so the crash did not attract any attention except for some frightened animals.

At this time, if you look down from the sky.

A strangely shaped and huge iron-black cylindrical aircraft was tilted and half buried in the sand.

The violent impact caused by the forced landing caused some distortion and damage to its outer shell, but the overall structure is still intact.

The dust slowly dissipated and the desert returned to silence.

At this time, inside the giant UFO.

"Huh——"

There was a loud inhalation.

Fu Qinghai suddenly woke up.

The cold and stiff chest under the armor rose and fell quickly and slowly, the two resting hearts began to beat vigorously again, blood flowed through the blood vessels into the limbs and bones, and the intestines and internal organs were slowly moving... This powerful body was awakening.

After regaining control of his body, Fu Qinghai suddenly felt a sharp pain on the side of his neck. He turned his head and saw a Cybertronian squatting beside him, holding a composite mechanical device with a drill, circular saw and needle in his hand.

Hagen-type medical needle.

A Space Marine in a state of suspended animation cannot be awakened by a slap in the face; it must be awakened by a pharmacist using special potions.

Taking this into consideration, Fu Qinghai gave the medical needle to Bumblebee in advance, and asked Bumblebee to use the needle to inject the medicine to wake himself up after arriving at the destination of the Well of Fire.

"Are we there yet?"

Fu Qinghai asked blankly.

"Beep."

Bumblebee nodded.

After saying that, the light in Bumblebee's mechanical eyes dimmed quickly, his head lowered, his arms drooped, and the whole person suddenly turned into a lifeless, cold mechanical sculpture, squatting and standing quietly beside Fu Qinghai.

"Hold..."

Fu Qinghai cursed inwardly and quickly sat up.

Bumblebee's energy was exhausted.

Because there might be some accidents during space travel, the two of them agreed in advance: Fu Qinghai would go into a state of suspended animation first, and Bumblebee would be responsible for observing and guarding the Well of Fire. Before his energy was about to be exhausted, he would retain the last bit of energy and then go into a dormant state - the last bit of energy was retained to wake up Fu Qinghai.

After regaining consciousness, Fu Qinghai was tormented by intense hunger and thirst. He quickly opened the white suitcase, took out the last piece of Grox steak that he had deliberately kept, and swallowed it whole. The steak disappeared in his stomach as if it had been melted by stomach acid, barely filling the empty feeling in his stomach and restoring a bit of strength.

Fu Qinghai stood up and put on his helmet.

With a command in his mind, the flying backpack placed on the floor suddenly moved forward and jumped up, automatically adjusting its posture in the air to fit the power backboard. The two fit together tightly and were locked one by one.

"Bang..."

Fu Qinghai pulled open the deformed cabin door with force.

"Clatter…"

A large amount of yellow sand poured in through the cabin door, submerging Fu Qinghai's feet and even calves, and soon accumulated into a slope. A gap was exposed at the top of the cabin door, and sunlight, air, and dust poured into the cabin hall through this gap.

Fu Qinghai leaned over and dug through the yellow sand, and with difficulty he got out of the hatch. Standing next to the half-buried black spaceship, he looked around. There was blue sky and white clouds, an endless sea of ​​hot sand, and rolling sand dunes of all sizes. There was no trace of green in sight.

Where on earth is this?

Fu Qinghai frowned.

"Boom—"

The turbofan stirred up wind and sand, and the nozzle spewed out hot streams.

The warrior in black and gold armor suddenly rose from the ground.

First of all, we need to understand what era this is on Earth. According to the records in the Iron Fortress, the last time the Cybertronians arrived on Earth, the people here were still in the primitive tribal stage. They had no electrical technology at all and worshipped the Cybertronians as gods. But that was a record from a long, long time ago - at that time, the Thirteenth Ancestor was still alive.

Fu Qinghai turned around and took a look.

The Well of Fire Source smashed a big hole in the ground. Fu Qinghai saw that it was still sinking little by little at a weak trend and slow speed. The surrounding sand dunes continued to sink inward, and the breeze blew the yellow sand lightly covering the surface.

Fu Qinghai caught a glimpse of an animal out of the corner of his eye.

A Bactrian camel walks alone in the desert.

Judging from the leather saddle on its back, it should be a domestic camel that has separated from the camel herd and wandered alone. Very good, the saddle shows that human beings have at least left the primitive and ignorant stage.

Fu Qinghai adjusted his flying posture and dived down rapidly.

…

"ha..."

Fu Qinghai raised his head from the camel's open belly.

He raised his arm and wiped the blood from his mouth and face.

After becoming the head of the regiment, I had been living a life of luxury. It had been a long time since I had eaten raw meat and drunk blood like this. I had no choice but to do so. I was too hungry. But camel humps tasted pretty good when eaten raw. They were fresh, fragrant, plump and rich in fat. They had a strong smell and tasted a bit like sheep tail fat.

Wait until you recover a little strength.

Fu Qinghai took out the small ball and played with it.

Suddenly I opened my eyes wide and realized something was wrong.

Through the hollow carvings on the spherical metal shell, one could see the tiny fire inside, which was already swaying and dimming like a candle in the wind, and seemed about to go out at any moment.

What the fuck is going on?

Without Cybertron and the supply of super energy, will the fire gradually disappear? The problem is that Master Titanium didn't tell me... this thing has a shelf life?

What should I do?

Fu Qinghai thought quickly in his mind.

Return to the Well of Fire?

No, absolutely not.

Fu Qinghai still remembers the arena in Kalon City. After he killed his opponent, his fire floated in a certain direction. Later, Optimus Prime told him that it was the direction of the Well of Fire. If he returned to the Well of Fire now, there was a high probability that the fire would return to the Well of Fire. Wouldn't it be a waste of the fire that he had asked Optimus Prime and Master Titanium for?

Bringing life to a machine?

Maybe.

But it should be subject to certain conditions. Fu Qinghai also tested it during the voyage. He brought the fire close to some of his mechanical equipment, but the fire did not produce any reaction. He still remembered a plot in the movie Transformers:

Sam carried a fragment of the fire source, causing all the household appliances in the house to activate and deform and start attacking humans. These mini-converters were also called "fire source mutants."

As for why these Mini-Cons are Decepticons instead of Autobots after they are born, the official explanation is that because human electrical technology is obtained through reverse engineering of Mr. Viking's body, all electrical technology products on the earth are Decepticons after they are activated.

According to this logic.

Do you need to unite the local electronic technology products or local metal mechanical creations in the Transformers Universe to be given the spark and become a Transformer?

Fu Qinghai took off again and began to search.

Want to find a desert settlement.

Finally, after he flew for some distance, a small town vaguely appeared in his sight.

At this moment, that familiar cold voice suddenly and directly rang in Fu Qinghai's mind:

[In the Transformers United Universe in the Reincarnation Main World, the Cybertron Civil War has ended, and the Decepticon camp has won the final victory! ]

[Begin calculating assimilation points...]

[Deduct assimilation points... 1004 points! ]

[The current reincarnation world has ended, and you are preparing to return to the anchored world. Please quickly select the items within your control or the abilities you have already obtained to start assimilating.]

Fu Qinghai was suddenly shocked.

Is this the end of the major plot line?

The Decepticon camp finally won.

Without saying anything, he thought about it and the flying backpack quickly started the afterburner mode, pushing Fu Qinghai to quickly approach the town. The so-called town is actually two cross-shaped streets, with some low buildings scattered around the streets, and even shanties and tents, which conforms to people's usual impression of Africa: poor, dirty, backward, and gray everywhere... But in modern society, this is enough.

Without time to shrink or disguise himself, Fu Qinghai landed directly in the center of the town. The armored warriors landed with a thud, scaring the surrounding residents to flee and the livestock to run wild. Fu Qinghai ignored them and walked straight to a place that looked like an electronics store - there was a mobile phone logo on the light box cloth sign. Pulling aside the curtain, Fu Qinghai said in English to the stunned black man inside:

"Electronics. Anything electronic!"

"Abraguya Kushiron..."

The black clerk said something in panic.

It sounded like French, but I couldn't understand it at all.

If only Qing Ming were here at this moment, her database would have been loaded with all the languages ​​and dialects on Earth, allowing for real-time analysis and simultaneous interpretation.

"Cellphone, I want a cellphone."

Fu Qinghai could only change the word, took off his helmet, and slapped the counter with one hand.

The black clerk was frightened and quickly turned around and picked up an open plastic box and put it on the counter.

The cell phones in the beautifully packaged boxes that he had imagined did not exist. The plastic boxes were filled with a bunch of cell phones of different models, brands, and even generations. Fu Qinghai even saw Nokia sliders and Sony Ericsson flip phones, all of which had stains and scratches on their shells... After all, was this a second-hand cell phone dumping store?

[About to enter the next reincarnation world, countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7...]

The reminder sound of the reincarnation world sounded deep in Fu Qinghai's mind as if urging his death.

Fu Qinghai quickly searched in the plastic box. Suddenly, he saw a familiar object: an iron-gray stainless steel right-angle frame, a black glass screen with only a round HOME button, and a body as thick as a small brick...

Isn't this an iPhone 4S?

This Apple phone has a sense of age, both in terms of overall design and the degree of wear on the frame, but it is the most advanced phone Fu Qinghai could find in this box. So he quickly took it out and pressed the power button on the side with his finger, but there was no response for a long time.

There's still no power?

I can't care about that anymore!

The fire gradually dimmed, and the countdown needle was getting closer. Fu Qinghai took out a small metal ball and pressed a hidden switch on it. The ball automatically rotated and opened, revealing the blue-white arc inside that looked like a candle flame. Then he put it close to the iPhone 4S in his hand, and then the fire smoothly merged into the phone screen as if it had no entity.

The next second, the phone screen lit up.

It worked, it really worked!

Fu Qinghai was very excited.

However, after the screen lit up white, the sound that rang out was not the marimba ringtone that came with the iOS system. A loud Chinese male voice suddenly burst out from the phone speaker, so loud that the speaker and even the body of the phone were shaking:

"Magnesium has apples, and China has pineapples."

"Pineapple Phone!!!"

Fu Qinghai: "???"

As the announcement was made, a pixel logo of a pineapple with a bite taken out of the upper right corner appeared in the middle of the screen, with an English icon that read "POULO" below it.

What does that mean? Huaqiangbei? Copycat phones?

Fu Qinghai was completely confused.

[Available options]

[Item: Vibranium Cape]

[Item: Cybertron Corpse]

[Item: Mi Ni Kong "Baseband"]

[Item: Artificial Intelligence Chip "Qingming"]

A flash of white light.

Fu Qinghai and the phone in his hand disappeared together.
