Chapter 744 - 24: Recovery of the Primordial Spark Source Remains

"You’re learning fast, truly remarkable—the learning capacity and plasticity of humans, and our race’s hardware configuration."

"Your transformation method is too straightforward, inefficient and inflexible. Although theoretically we can control metal at the atomic level, we wouldn’t choose to do so...it’s not economic nor efficient."

[Learned new knowledge: Cybertron Basic Alloy Structure]

[Description: Through Ironhide’s systematic teaching, your understanding of Cybertron Alloy has reached a new level.]

[Cybertron Alloy can be forged using external forces; the most direct way is through spark source energy, but extremely energy-intensive.]

[The base strength of Cybertron Alloy is highly durable and closely related to interatomic forces. When supported by extra interatomic strong forces, its heat resistance, impact resistance, thermal conductivity, and toughness will continuously increase.]

[Using molded Cybertron Alloy as a body can reduce spark source energy consumption, provided one understands the metal.]

[Learned new knowledge: Transformation Gear]

[Description: General term for basic Cybertron transformation capabilities, allowing transformers to switch efficiently between different forms, especially useful with high-strength metals.]

[Using transformation gear to fill structures can reduce spark source energy consumption during transformation.]

[Reward Technology Points: 1000]

[Current Technology Points: 20400]

Ironhide is providing a simple explanation of the two very basic technologies.

They are creating a device to channel spark source energy; the ready-made "teaching materials" and "recycled scrap" are precisely Alice, who was killed by Lille.

"The technology in Decepticon energy cores generally leans toward weaponry. If both an Autobot and a Decepticon have an energy core strength of 100, at least 80 of the Decepticon’s 100 would support their weapon systems and combat capabilities.

Autobots...the lowest could be only 50, so most of the time, we can only transform into civilian vehicles, but you..."

Ironhide watched as Lille replaced the toolhead on the Destruction Shell and chiselled open Alice’s body.

[Johnny: I can’t believe it, I previously wanted to hook up with this gal.]

"How do you have so many skills?"

"A human little trick, I use computers to store information and perform calculations."

"That efficiency is too low..."

Ironhide used to resemble a Decepticon more: he was a weapons expert with the ability to create weapons. From the perspective of those who created him, he should theoretically align more closely with the Decepticons.

However, though Transformers don’t have as strong plasticity as humans, they ultimately are life with souls. With a soul, there will be change, so now he is an Autobot.

"Alright...come, let me test your learning ability. I’ll help you melt this pile of scrap metal, and you can make use of it.

Ratchet will watch your operation from the side, and he’ll help you if your fusion isn’t good enough."

Ironhide raised his arm, and it instantly transformed into a plasma cannon.

The transformation process was so fast that Lille couldn’t fully scan it, so he simply did not sneak a peek, focusing all attention on Alice...

The debris flew up under the control of Ratchet and Ironhide. In Lille’s sensor eyes, these fragments quickly heated up and rapidly disintegrated!

Thanks to Ironhide’s preliminary work, Lille could clearly recognize the transformation gear that once belonged to Alice and the Cybertron Alloy with no functional purpose.

Under Lille’s control, parts began to detach from Ironhide’s air furnace, magnetically and sparking to conform to Lille’s body!

The clash of metal made a light sound, the transformation gear melted into Lille’s physique, making the already consolidated form increasingly heavy and profound, looking more and more like a real human...

[Unlocked new ability: Primordial Spark Remains Recovery]

[You have mastered the technology to obtain spark source energy from remnants containing Primordial Spark energy.]

[You can now absorb spark source energy from remnants and quickly utilize ordinary Cybertron Alloy, absorbing transformation gear.]

[Reward Technology Points: 2000]

[Current Technology Points: 22400]

Ironhide glanced at the nearby Ratchet, who nodded, indicating everything was normal:

"...but he doesn’t seem to have planned to leave room for storing vehicle form for himself."

Ironhide scratched his head: "A strange choice, but he was originally human, maybe he just likes it that way."

"But he packed his body with many tool sets and some...super-precision mechanical arms that, when deployed, might resemble...Octopus Arms?"

[Your shell has been upgraded: faster transformation speed, stronger body strength, more efficient spark source utilization]

[New Transformer Module: Multifunctional Octopus Arm Set.]

[Description: Equipped with a conventional tool set, including hacking data knife, high-temperature cutter, common prosthetic surgery kit, common technical expert tools]

[New Transformer Module: Specialty Spark Source Computing Core]

[Description: High-dimensional information carrier greatly enhances your information processing capacity, simultaneously acting as a demodulator to connect with external devices.]

[Reward Technology Points: 600]

[Current Technology Points: 23000]

Lille chose not to enhance weapon components, opting for more tools while boosting his entity’s computing capacity.

If purely evaluated by computing power, such a core alone could provide 120 ten quintillion floating-point operations capacity, comparable to 8000 CCU in the Cyberpunk World!

From Ironhide’s perspective, Lille did not prepare high-spec weapons for himself. In this way, Alice’s remnants are completely adequate for Lille to expand to 2-3 meters in height.

Thus, he scratched his head: "Why are you still so small?"

"I don’t need too many weapon modules."

Kkkkrrkkkrrkkkrrkk—

Four multi-joint arms immediately sprung out, super-precision prosthetic doctor tools replaced the claws, directly stabbing toward Sam’s body!

Ironhide and Ratchet were momentarily stunned, but soon an Octopus Arm rose, projecting Sam’s head memories onto the wall:

The brain-computer interface will, through multiple stimulus-feedback-analysis, roughly synchronize Sam’s brain activity, genuinely linking his neural with the Cyber Modulator.

The sleeping Sam will merely feel a tingle all over, and once fully connected, Lille will activate the brain-computer interface to awaken Sam’s brain activity, simultaneously showing him a crudely made Super Dream.

This Super Dream is constructed using the images Leo snapped in class, configuring a possible first-person view Sam might have experienced, ultimately evoking his memory at the time.

Almost identical to the classroom, the first scene images were displayed, except it shifted to first-person view.

Pages from the astronomy textbook frantically flashed before Sam’s eyes, all filled with Cybertron text!

Not only astronomy books but also he soon approached the blackboard, scribbling furiously, all in Cybertron text!

Seeing these things, Ironhide and Ratchet were dumbfounded...

"Cybertron text...still very ancient, Optimus Prime must see this."
