Infinite Metaverse

Normally speaking, although Megatron is also very prestigious, his prestige is mainly concentrated in Caron City and Slaughter City and other places where the gladiatorial industry is popular. His reputation is not enough to cover the entire Cybertron. Nor does it have the conditions and status to deliver a national speech to the entire communication network.

But Orion Pax can.

He is the data logger in the Iron Keep Records Hall.

Not only does he have the authority to temporarily tamper with data network communication lines, he also has corresponding hacking abilities. Perhaps Orion's ability to fight and kill is not as good as a serious gladiator, but he is still very important. For Megatron, he is The impact of being in a key position—at the news media level—far exceeds that of a thousand gladiators.

Fu Qinghai analyzed silently in his heart.

He even thought darkly: No wonder Megatron has so much patience and tolerance for Orion. According to Orion Pax's description, Megatron always told the truth when facing his other men. There will be no refutation or questioning, a command-and-obey relationship. The fact that he acted like such a courteous corporal in front of Orion Pax may not mean that the two of them share the same revolutionary ideals and appreciate each other. From a utilitarian point of view, maybe it is just for today, maybe it is just for this moment.

Fu Qinghai never launched a rebellion.

But he has seen many cases. In the real world, armed coups break out in Africa every now and then. Those African coup warlords, even if they are not highly educated, will try their best to occupy the National Radio and Television Station in the early stages of launching a rebellion, and then use the radio station to address the whole country. , expounding his ideas and stating his position...

Even if the speech is vague, stumbling, and inconsistent due to the low cultural level, it is still a necessary process. Because without this speech and without occupying the high ground of public opinion immediately, his armed struggle would have turned into a simple rebellion or local separatism, which would not be called a "revolution" and would be easily extinguished.

The same goes for Cybertron and Megatron. Orion is equivalent to the behind-the-scenes director of Cybertron's national radio and television. With such an individual participating in the revolution, he will soon gain the coveted public opinion platform.

A sensible enough person.

You should stop and think about it at this point.

Should we be more cautious about such a big thing?

It's a pity that Orion has obviously been deceived and is lame.

When Megatron said these words, Orion Pax had already started writing code to adjust the appropriate parameters. Usually, according to regulations, this kind of work should be done by people from the programming team, and people from the data team like him have no authority to do it. But Orion Pax realizes that his actions have revealed his place in the class system.

"Done."

Orion said, opening the line and plugging it in for Megatron. Then, Orion witnessed Megatron emerge from the shadows for the first time and enter the public view of Cybertronians.

"Ladies and gentlemen, citizens of Cybertron, I would like to state solemnly that I have nothing to do with these attacks, but I do not deny that the Cybertronians who carried out these explosions were most likely inspired by my beliefs. , that is - every Cybertronian has the right to make his own decision!"

Megatron stretched out his hand and waved towards the screen.

"I'm sorry for the lives lost."

The conversation changed and Megatron continued:

"But among those who died, how many of them once watched me fight with their lives in the arena of Karon City for fun? How many Cybertronians died to please them? Now the lives of those Cybertronians It will be exchanged for your well-being, they tell everyone, everyone’s life will be decided by themselves! No Cybertronian can dictate what other Cybertronians should and should not do!”

Megatron's voice was deafening:

"My name is 'Megatron'. I lead those who are willing to follow me, and I condemn those who use my name to commit such despicable acts. We will not fight with bombs, our weapons are logic and ideas. Except I have never been willing to kill in the gladiatorial arena. Let the true masterminds of these attacks bear the justice of Cybertron."

Megatron approached the communicator, his body took up the entire screen, and his expression became serious and cold.

"If I find them first, I will definitely carry out my justice faster and more thoroughly!"

"Click..."

The screen goes out.

Orion suddenly realized.

Megatron, he was so confident and eloquent, his speech seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, just waiting for this moment, waiting to deliver such a speech after the explosion.

"Obviously, looking at the wording, this was a prepared speech and not an impromptu speech."

Fu Qinghai crossed his arms and said calmly.

From the perspective of the camp, he should have immediately drawn his sword to kill Orion Pax before he was ready to open a communication network line for Megatron, and prevent the Decepticon leader Megatron from delivering this national speech. But he didn't take action, he just watched indifferently, watching Orion Pax use Iron Castle's function as a central data network node to complete all these operations, and then he spoke coldly at this time.

However, he underestimated Orion's view of Megatron, or he underestimated Orion's desire for "comrades".

He watched helplessly as Orion Pax used the priority code to hack into the media and then appeared on the screen.

"I'm Orion Pax."

The young Cybertronian looked at the screen seriously.

"I am a data recorder in the Iron Castle Records Hall, and my direct superior is Master Titanium. I am here to prove that Megatron was not involved in the explosion just now."

"Wow——"

The entire communication network exploded instantly.

All information channels in the data network were flooded with explosive responses. At that moment, Orion Pax ceased to exist simply as a Data Hall recorder; he became an outlaw, a terrorist, and a madman. These replies shocked him until he received instructions to isolate the communication network and only receive orders from the Supreme Council.

The moment he claimed to support Megatron, he seemed to become Megatron himself. And in the eyes of the Cybertronian public, Orion and Megatron are now joint leaders, co-planning the terrorist bombings that occur across the planet.

"No."

Orion Pax argued anxiously:

"I know Megatron. He didn't do such a thing. Neither did I. You have to believe it and understand it."

But in his subconscious, he seemed to hear Megatron saying in his ear: They will never understand, because they don't want to understand. As long as their situation is better than ours, they will not want to understand us. Since they are both from the upper class, how can they empathize with the lower class Cybertronians?

Orion Pax hoped this wasn't true.

After saying these words, Orion Pax slumped down on his work seat, holding his head in his hands, his eyes dull and confused. All the colleagues around him stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the young man with complex eyes, showing pity, sympathy, and doubt.

"well……"

Orion Pax is still too young.

Fu Qinghai sighed helplessly when he saw this scene.

I can’t help but think:

The Decepticon camp is already so active in causing troubles. What are the Cybertronians in the Autobot camp doing? Where's Optimus Prime? Where is Optimus Prime? Help!

"Orian Pax."

A colleague said:

"The file manager asked you to go find him."

Orion nodded dully.

Then he got up and left the workstation towards the stairs.

…

At the same time, Caron City Arena.

Megatron watched Orion disappear across the communication link, his men standing silently beside him.

"Sorry, brother."

Megatron said to himself.

He knew Orion Pax couldn't hear.

"You must know that I don't want this to be the case. The world seen from the bottom of the arena is completely different from the world seen in the database of the Records Hall."

…

After Orion Pax left.

The screen in front of his workstation was still on.

The few Cybertronians around were no longer interested in working, and were all worriedly paying attention to the communication network, which was still constantly refreshing and scrolling with countless shocking messages.

Terror breaks out, a Caronian gladiator delivers a speech against the Supreme Council and the class system, and then an Ironfortress recorder publicly endorses him.

Fu Qinghai suddenly discovered it.

For a while, no one paid attention to me.

He quietly sat down at Orion's workstation.

Cybertronians are generally seven to ten meters tall, comparable to a Knight mecha. For Fu Qinghai, Orion Pax's work station is as huge as giant furniture, but he still tried his best to climb up this giant The seat made no sound, and no one around him noticed him.

Start browsing the operational data network.

What scrolls on the screen are news items.

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and began to read.

It was a rare opportunity to surf the Internet by himself instead of listening to others relay the news. Fu Qinghai cherished this opportunity very much and clicked on news information one after another and began to look carefully.

Although Megatron refused to admit it, Fu Qinghai had determined that the explosion was caused by Megatron and his team. However, there were still some unanswered questions in his mind - how to create such a large-scale explosion simultaneously in various places on Cybertron. Huge serial explosions are not a small thing. They must have been planned and prepared for a long time. If such a large-scale terrorist attack was just to find an opportunity to deliver a national television speech...it would be half the result with twice the effort, right?

He still remembered what Megatron said to Orion.

One of the little details.

Megatron once revealed to Orion: They will look for a certain artifact left by the Thirteen Ancestors. If they can find it, it will prove that their actions are just...

According to Barricade, artifacts are not uncommon in Cybertronian myths and legends. Each of the Thirteen Ancestors has his or her own unique artifact.

But what kind of artifact can give this bloody rebellion a color of justice? In the culture and setting of Transformers, what kind of artifact has such a huge role and symbolic meaning as the "jade seal passed down from the country" in ancient China?

Abruptly.

Four big characters appeared in Fu Qinghai's mind.

Leadership module!

Also known as: Evidence of Leadership.

The leadership module represents where destiny belongs!

But... Fu Qinghai fell into doubt again. If the Transformed United Universe also has a leadership module, as the current leader of Cybertron, shouldn't the leadership module be in his body? Why are the Decepticons still looking for leadership modules? If they want the leadership module, they should directly assassinate the natural enemy! Could it be that they have obtained some inside information, such as...

There is no leadership module in Defending Natural Enemies?

Damn, this is really breaking news.

If this news is indeed correct, it would not only prove the justice of the rebellion, but could even go further to question the legitimacy of the Prime Minister as the leader of Cybertron.

Everything is just Fu Qinghai's conjecture.

With these doubts and conjectures.

Fu Qinghai clicked on the first news video first.

The video is tagged "Six Lights Amusement Park".

There is also a thoughtful introduction below the video:

At Cybertron Six Lights Amusement Park, the Plasma Arc Roller Coaster is the most popular ride.

In the video, the lane extends around the entire set of equipment supports. The supports are covered with magnetic rails to guide the train crew to travel at high speed. The acceleration of gravity causes the passengers to become dizzy, crazy, and unable to stop. Thirty-six Mini Kongs are scattered beneath the steel beams, their sleek, shiny shells emblazoned with the amusement park roller coaster logo, presumably all employees. They are arranged in two concentric circles, one group around the outside of the steel beam and one group squeezed into the center of the track. Above them, the track creaked as the roller coaster just passed its first lap. The Cybertronians waiting below looked up, completely ignoring what Mini Kong was doing. They were looking forward to their turn to play soon.

Suddenly, thirty-six mini-Kongs detonated thirty-six fusion bombs at the same time. The huge steel building structure of the plasma arc roller coaster collapsed with a blinding flash, releasing huge energy, and a large group of shattered Cybertronians were thrown out. After the amusement ride fell to the ground, the passengers fell hard with the strong electromagnetic energy on the track, and then... they also exploded like bombs.

There is sadness in the data network.

Fu Qinghai remained expressionless and silent.

To be honest, because I am not a Cybertronian, I cannot fully empathize with the Cybertronians. When other Cybertronians see this video, the first thing they think of is horror, heart-wrenching, sadness, and anger... But Fu What Qinghai thought of was:

Screenwriter and author of Transformers United Universe.

Your head is filled with shit!

Fu Qinghai once heard Orion talk about how, as a middle-class Cybertronian, he wanted to visit Liuguang Amusement Park and how much fun it was there...

Fu Qinghai originally thought that as a silicon-based civilization with highly developed technology, Cybertron Six Lights Amusement Park would at worst be similar to Mewtwo in "Cyberpunk: 2077", an enjoyment that goes beyond traditional sensory stimulation. And experience, this is what Orion Pax will never forget.

As a result, you fucking...

What the hell is a roller coaster?

This is too vulgar!

Orion Pax wants to start a revolution because he can't ride roller coasters at an amusement park?

Fu Qinghai raised his hand and slowly wiped his face.

I am completely speechless.

Forget it... Fu Qinghai comforted himself in his heart. Transformers, like Warhammer 40K and Marvel DC, is also a very, very old IP. It is understandable that the production staff at that time had a little lack of imagination.

Cybertron, Sonic Boom City.

There is Cybertron's largest military factory here, right next to Sonic Canyon. The factory's exhaust pipes and giant chimneys just stick out of the canyon. After the raw materials were mined from the canyon, a large space was left, so people built a factory here to process and produce weapons and equipment on the spot.

At the time of the explosion, plasma fuel from arc welding torches, used to make highly heat-resistant weapons barrels and ammunition boxes, happened to be sitting next to the factory's reservoir.

The observatories of Satellite Base 1 and Satellite 2 both captured a brief flash that blinded the observation mirrors in that area of ​​Cybertron.

From the ground, it seems as if a huge pillar of energy shoots out from the Sonic Canyon into the sky, and then quickly forms a ring of light and heat. Countless fragments were scattered within several miles of the Great Wasteland, and some unlucky Cybertronians who happened to be passing by or working nearby were hit. Those pieces ranged from duct connectors to entire cooling towers. According to news reports, the large cooling tower was dissipating heat from a small reactor at the time of the explosion.

Military factory……

Fu Qinghai silently analyzed: Cybertron's parliamentary army has lost an important source of weapons.

Continue to the next video.

…

Cybertron, Sonic Canyon.

According to some conservative and devout Cybertronians, Sonic Canyon is the ear of the natural enemy. He uses it as a medium to monitor everything that happens in the world where the people under his rule live. The Great Multiverse Computer, the Magic Orb, is also said to be installed in Sonic Canyon. But the Cybertronians have not communicated with the magic ball for many orbital cycles. Most people don't know if the Magic Ball is still functioning - or even sure if it is.

Then there was a series of explosions, tearing open the end of the Sonic Canyon rock wall. According to legend, that place was the ancient entrance to the interactive interface of the magic ball. No one knew whether the explosion was intended to destroy the great Cybertronian computer or to force an entrance through the side of the canyon.

The magic ball is even more powerful than Manifestation No. 1. Fu Qinghai happens to know a little bit of inside information. The real place to monitor the data network is Iron Castle, not Sonic Canyon, and the place where the magic ball is placed is also Iron Castle, not Sonic Canyon... It seems that the Decepticon intelligence is not foolproof, even if it is The famous Soundwave also makes mistakes sometimes.

They detonate Sonic Canyon.

Destined not to find the magic ball.

…

Cybertron, Stan City.

On the jagged ridge on the eastern border of Stan City, there is a building called "Sko Fortress". It is where the Parliament Corps trains and is also the seat of the local defense organization.

It was at the Fortress of Skow that the generals of the first parliamentary legions determined the divisions of social classes.

Also in Fort Sco, the current head of the Parliamentary Corps died in the explosion. His name was "Gauntlet". He takes great pride in his position and the history of Stan Legion. He believed deeply in the class system. From the moment he left the Well of Allspark, he was a member of Cybertron's military organization, and he never thought of leaving his class.

The Supreme Council's military system was actually not as slow as Orion Pax thought. The gauntlet had read Iron Castle's encrypted information about Megatron a long time ago. His conclusion: Just another disgruntled lowlife who wants to destroy Cybertron's long-established and effective social system - Armplate is convinced of this.

He waited for the Council to come to the same conclusion, and then took direct action against Caron City, Slaughter City, and the Great Wasteland, which had become the nests of criminals. He looks forward to participating in such an operation. The only regret that Gauntlet has had since its creation is that he has never witnessed a true military conflict.

The bomb was brought by an unknown mini-King Kong and exploded beneath the parade ground in the northwest corner of Fort Skow. The explosion completely ripped open a corner of the Skow Fortress and pushed it under the ridge. The electromagnetic pulse generated by the explosion caused a series of failures in the communication network nodes inside the ridge.

One hundred and eighty-three Cybertronians died from explosions, landslides, and electromagnetic pulse damage to processing systems.

Gauntlets were also among the dead.

Fu Qinghai didn't know these inside stories.

All he knew was that Cybertron's highest military commander, second only to the Natural Enemy, was dead, killed in the explosion.

…

"It's too fast. Why did it come so fast?"

Fu Qinghai stared at the screen and muttered to himself.

I was still lamenting that the plot development was too slow.

As a result, suddenly overnight, the entire Cybertron planet fell into violent turmoil. The Decepticons started things very efficiently-perhaps they had been planning for a long time. In short, everything seemed to be developing in a direction that was beneficial to the hostile camp.

At this moment.

Fu Qinghai didn't know what to do.
