Chapter 294: Defending against natural enemies

Optimus Prime's spaceship is called the Xanthium. It flies all the way to the universe, passes through the diamond opened by the energy barrier, and leaves the earth through the gap.

Only Optimus Prime, Jazz and Bumblebee go on this trip. Ironhide, an important weapon expert, stays on Earth because he wants to teach humans about Cybertron's weapons.

The weapons of Cybertron civilization are still very advanced. In addition to conventional hand cannons and guns, they also have missiles, solar weapons and a large number of particle beam weapons. These mature space weapon technologies will bring a lot of help to the group. Any technical talents are urgently needed and desired by the group.

"The Xanthium is approaching the Tranquility Base."

Optimus Prime sat in the driving seat of the spaceship and kept in touch with the earth. His eyes fell on the display, observing the very calm surface of the moon.

Various evidences show that there is a large group of Decepticons hiding on the moon, but no one knows where the specific location is. Maybe it is on the back of the moon, or underground on the moon?

"Landing is allowed."

The tower on the ground sent a reply to Optimus Prime allowing landing.

The Tranquility Base is an area designated by the United States on the moon, and it is also where the Cybertron escape ship is located. Although it is called a base, it is actually just a wasteland with a small amount of space garbage.

Several lunar exploration vehicles are wandering around and patrolling this wasteland, giving the United States a little substantial comfort in its dream of dominating space.

The Xanthium spacecraft landed smoothly on the surface of the moon. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee walked out with weapons in hand, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

A number of small cars and rows of engineering robots that look like cans followed out of the cabin. They are tools to assist Optimus Prime and Bumblebee in transporting the abandoned spacecraft back to Earth.

Looking around the lonely and empty moon, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee walked cautiously towards the huge escape ship.

The escape ship that escaped from Cybertron is very large, three times larger than the Xanthium that Optimus Prime was riding, and can accommodate at least thirty Cybertronians of Optimus Prime's size.

From this spaceship, we can also see the level of interstellar navigation technology of Cybertron civilization.

After a long time, no trace of the Decepticons was found. Optimus Prime asked Bumblebee to stay outside the spacecraft to be on guard, and to help the engineering robot find the fulcrum of the spacecraft to install the thrusters.

After entering the spacecraft, Optimus Prime saw the bodies of the Autobots and Cybertronians all over the spacecraft, and showed a sad expression. It was obvious that the Decepticons had been here. There were traces of rummaging in many places, and many important parts of the spacecraft were missing.

It came to the center of the spacecraft, and after a glance, its eyes were fixed on a strange switch. It reached out and gently pressed the switch with the identity recognition system, and the spacecraft vibrated gently.

The special alloy door in the center, more than one meter thick, split from both sides, revealing the core cabin of the escape ship.

Like the foam tied in the sea, it slowly emerged after untying the shackles. Four silver energy columns with blue energy in the center and one energy column with red energy in the center floated up first, and then the figure lying peacefully on the seat.

Seeing the familiar figure that he had not seen for many years, Optimus Prime could not help but tremble with excitement. His old friend, the enemy of the sky, the former leader!

"It's still alive! It locked itself up to protect the energy column..." Although Jazz was a combatant, he could also tell whether the Skybreaker was still alive, but the energy response was very low.

This was exciting news. There was no better news than knowing that an acquaintance who was thought to have died was still alive!

Optimus Prime leaned over slightly, picked up the still sleeping Skybreaker, and murmured with emotion and sadness: "Skybreaker, you are going home, old friend..."

[To be honest, I have been using the source change app to read books and follow the updates recently. It can switch sources and has many reading tones. It is available for Android and Apple. ]

After moving the biggest gain of this trip to the Xanthium, Optimus Prime and Jazz did not forget to help the engineering robots dig out the spacecraft.

After working for most of the day, they installed all the thrusters and fixed the escape ship with hooks. Optimus Prime started the Xanthium. Under the combined force of the Xanthium and the thrust of the thrusters, the Cybertron escape ship, which was nearly 80 meters long, was slowly lifted and flew to the earth.

Beep beep!

The Xanthium spaceship suddenly sounded an alarm. A few Decepticons appeared below and were attacking the Xanthium with guns and hand cannons. They might have been discovered.

The laser beams and shells flew very far in the vacuum environment, but not many of these attacks hit the Xanthium, because the larger escape ship attached to the back served as a shield for the Xanthium.

Many small spaceships flew out from the moon and chased the Xanthium.

Optimus Prime sped up after seeing these spaceships.

The distance between the moon and the earth is not actually close. At the current speed of the spaceship, it will take at least an hour to fly back to the earth, and it must slow down to avoid the spaceship crashing.

"Bumblebee, Jazz, block the enemy!"

Optimus Prime issued an order to let Bumblebee and Jazz prevent the enemy from approaching at the shooting window of the Xanthium.

Cybertronians can survive in a vacuum, so most of their spaceships are not sealed, leaving many windows to prevent the enemy from approaching.

Although the Xanthium is a small spaceship, it also has some defensive weapons, and the small turret on the top of the spaceship began to shoot.

Bumblebee and Jazz also walked to the window and attacked several pursuing individual spaceships, which effectively prevented the enemy from approaching.

After half an hour of fighting, one of the engines of the Xanthium was accidentally damaged, but they had already reached the attack range of the Earth's defense system. Countless dense beams formed a large net to separate the Xanthium and the Decepticon's single-soldier spacecraft.

Seeing that they could no longer pursue, the Decepticon's single-soldier spacecraft had to return to the moon. Perhaps to vent their anger, the Decepticons destroyed the lunar exploration vehicle worth billions of dollars in the Tranquility Base...

After returning to Egypt safely on Earth, Optimus Prime was warmly welcomed by the Umbrella Group. Soon the escape ship was taken away by the group's researchers, along with the five energy pillars that the Archer was desperately protecting.

All that was left for Optimus Prime was the half-dead Archer.

The Archer's situation was very bad. Ordinary methods and ordinary energy could no longer wake it up. Special energy was required. Only the special energy contained in the leader module could wake Archer up again, so it found Ultron, who was too busy to leave the quantum computer.

Hearing that Optimus Prime had found the inventor of the space bridge technology on the moon, Ultron was inspired and agreed to Optimus Prime's request, allowing 20 fully armed super soldiers to accompany Optimus Prime to get the leader module.

Captain Garden, who knew that the resurrection ceremony was to be carried out, also sent several warships to guard. The leader of the previous generation of Autobots was equivalent to the previous head of state, and his position was very sensitive. He thought that the arrangement made by Captain Garden, who never believed in aliens, was necessary.

The leader module that turned into dust re-condensed in Optimus Prime's hands and turned into a hollow diamond-shaped metal prop. This item was originally a supreme item, and only in the hands of the descendants of the supreme could it bloom with the brilliance it should have.
