Above Cairo city, the teleportation portal that had been open for some time finally closed completely.
Thunder finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Although, after the portal dimmed, no more Quintessa soldiers had emerged from it for some time.
But in the face of unknown adversaries, no one could truly let their guard down.
Fortunately, it had operated flawlessly until the end.
After dealing with the Decepticon Vehicons and Quintessa soldiers within the city, a group of advanced warriors began to get busy.
Thunder commanded them, "Collect the bodies of advanced warriors among the Vehicons, and select some intact Quintessa soldier corpses as well. The Academy of Sciences needs material for research!"
The Academy of Sciences was a new department being established within Base Two, specifically for Atlas and the various advanced Decepticon engineers, overseen by Sun Cheng.
In recent times, he had noticed that the efficiency and speed of certain scientific and technological research on their side had significantly slowed down. The Decepticon engineers had been given too much power and autonomy in various research projects, and this had led to recklessness and loss of focus.
Sun Cheng had noticed this problem long ago when some Decepticon engineers began hoarding project resources. He had always used a combination of coercion and appeasement to manage the situation.
Although he had restructured his power base, retaining the Skytiger Legion's relatively mature military aristocracy system, Sun Cheng had made several improvements, granting significant power and resources to the Decepticon engineers under his command.
However, with the increasing number of advanced warriors among the Decepticons, the once influential Decepticon engineers in Base Two and Mars lost their command authority, construction planning, and resource allocation powers over sub-bases. Many engineers had become increasingly uncooperative.
This situation had arisen within a few years of establishing their faction, making Sun Cheng deeply understand the concept of "greed knows no bounds."
While he was frustrated, he realized that constant coercion was not the right strategy. After careful consideration, Sun Cheng decided to emulate the Autobots and human nation governments on Earth by establishing a central authority capable of managing all aspects.
The Academy of Sciences was one such department, responsible for coordinating and managing all research projects.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander!"
The Decepticon advanced warriors in the city quickly selected some well-preserved corpses and began contacting armed transport ships from South America to come and retrieve them.
The Golden Eagle series of armed transport ships were extremely fast, and it wouldn't be long before they arrived.
As Commander-in-chief read the memory data from Sentinal Prime, Thunder and the others had to scatter around and diligently protect the surrounding area.
Time passed by, and Sun Cheng wasn't sure how long it had been. After his mechanical body suddenly trembled, he released his grip on Sentinal Prime's corpse, which weighed tens of tons.
"Boom!"
Sentinal Prime's heavy corpse fell to the ground with a loud crash.
"Commander-in-chief!"
Seeing him staggering, Thunder quickly approached, wanting to support him.
However, Sun Cheng waved him off and held his head with one hand, stopping him. "No need, I'm fine!"
His tone was filled with excitement and enthusiasm, and his mood at that moment was indeed unexpectedly good.
Sun Cheng now had only one thought in his mind: "I've hit the jackpot!"
"...Let's leave first... and inform the Autobots to handle the aftermath here..."
In Sun Cheng's mind, his Core was diligently processing the countless memory data obtained from Sentinal Prime. He had to use all his strength to barely speak this sentence.
Thunder noticed that something was off with him and stood guard beside him, urging the Golden Eagle armed transport ships to arrive quickly.
While waiting, they heard sporadic gunfire and even artillery fire within Cairo city.
At first, Thunder and the others were on high alert, thinking it might be a counterattack by human forces, preparing to defend against an assault on the city.
However, they soon relaxed their guard.
The gunfire and artillery fire were indeed caused by human military and police forces, but the opposing factions were not targeting them. Thunder observed through satellites that the factions engaged in the conflict within the city were the same Egyptian military forces that had been defeated by the Decepticon Vehicons in the previous battle. Their opponents included other formations of Egyptian military deserters, local police forces from Cairo, and various armed gangs.
The reason for their fierce battle was simple: to seize the spoils of war.
Yes, they were fighting to seize the spoils of war.
After the chaos had settled, despite the fact that this ancient city had been severely damaged, anyone with a bit of intelligence and power had noticed the hidden treasures within it in the shortest time possible.
Countless discarded weapons left by the defeated Egyptian soldiers could only be considered the cheapest batch of these treasures.
Even more valuable were the corpses of extraterrestrial beings, with bodies resembling Mechanical Warriors. Once these extraterrestrial corpses made their way to the Black Market, even the Five Big Bullies would not be able to resist buying them at a high price.
Some well-funded front-end research institutions in countries, large multinational corporations' affiliated labs, and more were all eager for these extraterrestrial corpses.
As a result, some clever individuals in Cairo couldn't wait any longer after realizing what was happening. They rushed out as soon as the city suddenly quieted down, ready to seize the various extraterrestrial corpses scattered throughout the city.
Of course, in the midst of this competition, there were also shopping enthusiasts who took advantage of the situation to obtain items at no cost.
"What a bunch of decadent beings!"
Thunder shook his head contemptuously, and seeing that the Commander-in-chief showed no intention of intervening, he remained quietly by his side.
It wasn't until several Golden Eagle armed transport ships arrived in the sky that they moved.
