In the Indian Ocean, after more than 20 hours of racing, the Ghost finally successfully crossed the South Pacific and entered the Indian Ocean.

140 nautical miles southwest of Java Island, 120 meters underwater.

At this moment, the Ghost is moving forward at a speed of over forty knots.

Inside the submarine, the engineers have undergone over half a month of internal rest. Inside the Ghost submarine, almost all unnecessary structures have been dismantled. The original sailor dormitory area and the main lounge have been connected, creating a huge space that Hephaestus and the others cleared out and slightly adjusted for Sun Cheng to use as his lounge.

Within the Decepticon ranks, there is a strict hierarchy, so engineers generally do not come here easily.

Sun Cheng also rarely has moments of tranquility. While on the road, he has been staying in his lounge, organizing and digesting the technical data selected by Atlas that can be traded with China and Russia.

Atlas has a rough idea of his objective, but he obviously doesn't have a clear understanding of the current level of development on Earth. Although he has selected dozens of technologies that he believes have been in use on Cybertron for many years, it is evident that any one of these technologies, if easily released, would have a significant impact on the progress of human civilization.

For example, among these dozens of technologies, there is an advanced application of nuclear energy known as cold nuclear fusion technology.

On Earth, although the history of nuclear energy application spans only a few decades, in those years, humanity has made full use of their intelligence and established a relatively comprehensive system of applied nuclear energy science.

However, the current application of nuclear energy on Earth is still at a relatively primitive stage, constrained by materials, imagination, and applied science. Most of the nuclear energy applications currently in use on Earth fall under the category of thermonuclear fusion.

In comparison to the past cold nuclear fusion technology of Cybertron Planet, thermonuclear fusion is an immature technology with high energy consumption, low conversion efficiency, and strong radiation, posing significant risks to the environment and humanity itself.

On the other hand, cold nuclear fusion is not only clean but also has higher conversion efficiency and significantly lower costs compared to thermonuclear fusion.

It is not an overstatement to say that this is a technology that cannot be casually traded.

Once mature cold nuclear fusion technology becomes available, it will remove the energy constraints currently limiting Earth's civilization, propelling humanity into the space age.

This is definitely not the outcome Sun Cheng wants to see. Therefore, when he examined the trading list and discovered that Atlas had included mature cold nuclear fusion technology, he quickly realized its importance and promptly removed it from the list of tradable items. Additionally, he singled out various technologies related to outer space and eliminated them from the trading list as well.

After this selection process, Sun Cheng concluded that there were only a few technologies that he deemed safe for trading.

However, this did not pose a challenge for him, as Sun Cheng possesses not only Cybertron technology but also a considerable amount of Earth technology.

For example, he has the manufacturing technology for civilian use such as the five-axis linkage CNC machine tool, various engine manufacturing technologies, alloy manufacturing technologies, military technologies like the Hellfire missile and Reaper drone, and even the most advanced Russian ballistic missile nuclear submarines, Typhoon and Borei. He also has complete manufacturing technologies and processes for the fourth-generation attack nuclear submarine currently under construction, the Yasen-class.

The previous week at the Severodvinsk Shipyard was not in vain. After repeatedly infiltrating various equipment terminals at the Severodvinsk Shipyard, Sun Cheng put in a lot of effort to gather these advanced Russian nuclear submarine manufacturing technologies.

Now, not only did they enrich his database, but they also became one of Sun Cheng's trump cards.

He couldn't believe that China, which started late and lagged behind the world's mainstream by a generation and a half in nuclear submarine manufacturing, wouldn't be interested in the Russian nuclear submarine technology he had acquired.

The Ghost accelerated forward and, after a few more hours, finally arrived in the Bay of Bengal.

Hephaestus also entered Sun Cheng's lounge to report the situation to him.

"Master, as per your orders, we have arrived in the Bay of Bengal. Shall we surface?"

Hephaestus's arrival rejuvenated Sun Cheng, who had been waiting in the lounge for over thirty hours.

With curiosity, he asked, "Oh? We have reached the Bay of Bengal?"

The reason for choosing to depart from the Bay of Bengal, cross Bangladesh, and enter China to reach Lop Nur in western Xinjiang, rather than entering from the East China Sea, Yellow Sea, or even the South China Sea, was not due to fear of the US military bases along the Chinese coast.

After all, there was a US military base on Diego Garcia Island in the Indian Ocean.

The main reason for this choice was concealment.

After all, Sun Cheng was aware that the United States had military spies deployed worldwide. The other four permanent members of the United Nations were particularly focused on. He didn't want to make contact with China and have the Americans receive the news and start interfering.

"Yes, master, we are 47 minutes behind the scheduled time!"

"Understood, prepare to surface!"

Waving his hand, Sun Cheng had Hephaestus descend and directed the engineers to bring the Ghost to the surface.

In the empty lounge, Sun Cheng stood alone, suddenly extending his palm. With a thought, a dark black sphere the size of a football materialized in his hand.

"It's about time for me to make my appearance. The success of my upcoming performance will depend entirely on you!"

As Core activated, the dark sphere in his metallic palm immediately emitted a faint glow.

Soon, it began to move, akin to melting snow, spreading along Sun Cheng's arm and throughout his entire mechanical body.

The entire process lasted for a good twenty to thirty seconds before the fluids coursing through his body ceased their motion.

As the faint glow dissipated, if one were to look closely at Sun Cheng's mechanical body, faint, imperceptible lines could be seen running across its entirety.

Decepticon's optical stealth net!

That's what it's called!

It is something that Atlas and the others have transformed based on the ghost's optical invisibility net. Because it uses Cybertron's liquid metal technology, it can be adjusted to match his transformation, so once it is used, it will not affect his combat form and flight form.

The technical content of the optical cloaking net is not very high, but as a technology that has been eliminated by mechanical life, it is an incredibly advanced black technology on the current Earth.

Taking it out to support the scene for yourself and increase the momentum couldn't be more appropriate.

Before the submarine surfaced to sea level, taking advantage of the last bit of time, Sun Cheng left the lounge and walked towards the commanding platform of the submarine.

Not long after, when the Ghost finally surfaced to sea level, Sun Cheng quickly climbed out of the Ghost.

After briefly identifying the satellites in the sky and confirming the direction of travel, he jumped above the sea surface.

The next moment, Sun Cheng changed back into the form of the Reaper drone and flew towards Lop Nur in western Xinjiang.
