"I want to create an electronic cognitive lifeform with extremely high computational speed to help me handle some miscellaneous tasks. Based on intelligence from various cosmos, I believe Cybertron Technology fits the requirements."
If it needs to be compatible with technology from other worlds, then this intelligence brain also needs cognitive and learning capabilities, but most importantly, it must be obedient.
So Su Ming chose this world.
"It sounds like you don't need a complete Cybertronian, but rather a sensor matrix that can operate independently, or a thought module with external perception modules."
Ambulance was busy doing something inside Bumblebee's head with an electric welder and saw, while explaining some situations to Su Ming.
"But without the energy of the Fire Seed, such a thought module cannot function independently. It might work on Cybertron, like the Cosmic Magic Ball, but not on Earth."
Sir commented that this wouldn't work.
"I know all of this, which is why I need a small Cybertronian to help as a friend. But now, any metal that contacts the Fire Source turns into a Decepticon."
Su Ming took off his helmet, leaned against the wall, and smoked a cigarette.
"That means the last person to contact the Fire Source was Megatron. However, the Fire Source alone cannot create the special items you want. You need a more advanced power."
Optimus Prime explained to Su Ming. He supported the idea of Cybertronian life being friends with other intelligent beings. If it was just to provide a cognitive computing matrix, this seemingly all-knowing human would become a friend of the Autobots.
He wouldn't give advanced technology to a less developed civilization because it would only bring harm. But it's clear this person knows far more than what's typical for this planet. He can afford to have some slightly advanced technology.
Cybertron Technology could be shared moderately.
"A more advanced power, are you talking about the Leader Module?"
"How do you know?" Optimus Prime had lost count of how many times he was surprised today. Even in his lifetime, this Solar System creature knew too much.
"So, the Leader Module combined with the Fire Source would work then? You can use the Leader Module, right? Good, we can start acting, first, let's get the Fire Source."
Su Ming wouldn't explain how he knew things; he knew a lot more anyway.
"The Leader Module... is not with me. It's lost... Also, strictly speaking, I'm not the leader of the Autobots. It should have been my teacher Yu Tiandi, but he's also gone missing during the civil war."
Optimus Prime didn't make excuses. Considering how much this human knew, he chose to tell the truth.
Of course, Su Ming also knew. The Leader Module was on Earth, in a tomb in Egypt, along with the bodies of twelve Original King Kongs.
As for Yu Tiandi, he should be on the far side of the Moon. He was discovered during the Apollo moon landing decades ago.
However, Optimus Prime's revered teacher had long since collaborated with Megatron. To prevent the escalation of the civil war and to stop more Cybertronians from dying, Yu Tiandi secretly supported Megatron in using the Fire Source to extract energy from other fixed stars during the late stages of the civil war.
After all, the cosmos is so vast; the annihilation of some star systems is inconsequential, as long as the Cybertronians cease dying.
Yet when Yu Tiandi was carrying the Energy Pillars that made up the Space Bridge and boarded the spaceship bound for Earth, intending to help Megatron drain the Sun, there was an error during space jump positioning, causing a crash on the Moon.
Of course, Optimus Prime did not know about these events. To him, his beloved teacher simply went missing in battle. He was merely acting as the leader in the meantime and had not been recognized by the Leader Module.
"It's alright. Just follow me, and you'll be several steps ahead of the Decepticons."
Su Ming gestured to the robots to follow his plan. Among all these tasks, digging the tomb would be slightly troublesome, but once they got Sam's glasses and had the Star Map, they could locate the Fixed Star Extractor and find the Leadership Module.
And those glasses... are now 25 US Dollars?
"We must go help Sam. Although we know the whereabouts of the Fire Source now, the Decepticons will still attack that innocent child," Optimus Prime expressed his opinion first, not wanting to endanger humans.
"Oh, of course, Sam is a good kid. I'll buy the glasses from him and make sure the Decepticons come after me instead." Su Ming nodded, knowing that was Optimus Prime's nature.
"What about you?" Optimus Prime asked again.
"Once everything is settled, I will go to a place where none of you can find me."
Su Ming displayed a mysterious smile, flicked the cigarette butt away, and put his helmet back on.
.............
So Su Ming drove the newly renewed Bumblebee back to Sam's house, first heading to the back of the garage to retrieve the weapons hidden there and put them in the car, then knocked on the door.
Amid Sam's excited gaze, he spent 30 US Dollars to buy the glasses and the diary.
After getting the glasses, Su Ming finally saw a police car with flashing sirens entering the view.
Su Ming patted Sam on the shoulder and glanced at the real old car parked in the garden: "Hmm, nice car, girls would like it."
Without Bumblebee, Sam might have missed out on the goddess of his dreams, but Su Ming gave him an extra 5 US Dollars, considering it emotional compensation.
"Thank you, sir, you're truly a good person."
Sam joyfully bid him farewell. Though the one-eyed man looked fierce with a dark aura, he was surprisingly easy to talk to.
Moreover, he believed in the ancestral history Sam talked about.
He even gave an extra five bucks.
"Don't mention it. Make sure to lock your doors at night. Goodbye."
With that, Su Ming turned and left, casually stepping into Bumblebee, waiting for the roadblock to come over.
The police car quickly parked beside the Chevrolet, with a policeman inside who had a blank face and was wearing sunglasses. The officer's neck sharply twisted 45 degrees, mechanically looking at Su Ming.
Driving with sunglasses at night, isn't that suspicious?
Su Ming smiled and raised the glasses in his hand towards the officer, giving them a gentle shake, and made a goodbye gesture.
"Run!"
Bumblebee started suddenly, the tires screeching as it sped towards the sparsely populated areas.
That action just now made Roadblock realize that the glasses they were searching for had fallen into the hands of the Autobots, so while reporting to Red Spider, it also immediately accelerated its relentless pursuit of Bumblebee.
As enemies battling for hundreds of thousands of years, it had long recognized Bumblebee. But as a member of an intelligence squad, Roadblock did not like revealing its identity in front of humans, preferring assassination.
Seeing Bumblebee fleeing towards a place with fewer people aligned perfectly with its intentions.
The two cars raced wildly on the nighttime roads, signs and trash bins flying aside, and as time passed, Roadblock gradually closed the distance.
It guessed that Bumblebee might have had a mechanical failure during the landing, not running fast enough now.
Unbeknownst to it, Su Ming was deliberately letting Bumblebee lead it on.
"Scan the star map information and transmit the data to Optimus Prime."
Su Ming wasn't even touching the steering wheel, instead taking off his helmet, leaning casually against the car window, feeling the cool wind against his face.
He placed the round glasses on the dashboard for Bumblebee to view, while he seemed absent-minded, gazing at the sky outside.
"Are you sure you want to deal with Roadblock by yourself? He's quite tricky." Bumblebee projected a beam to scan the data on the glasses, speaking with a somewhat comical voice to Su Ming.
"We'll find out in a while, you're doubting my combat abilities, looking down on ordinary humans, huh?"
"No, Optimus Prime always emphasized that all intelligent life is equal." Bumblebee immediately denied it, aware of how troublesome the personality of the person sitting inside it was, having learned this during the day.
Su Ming nodded slowly, sparing Bumblebee: "Continue to the designated location to meet up with Optimus Prime and the others, let's have a song, something energetic."
Suddenly, Roadblock noticed that Bumblebee ahead started playing music? Was the battle not serious?
...........
The destination was a junkyard, not selected by Su Ming, but by Iron Hide's suggestion.
Draw the Decepticons into an ambush circle, take them all down together.
Su Ming didn't care, after all, it was just a big metal lump, not even self-repairing liquid metal. He just needed to swing a few swords, no ambush necessary.
Se Alloy was a metal born for transformation, tough but not very rigid, not as hard as Divine Gold or N Metal, purely technological, too easy to deal with.
Needless to say, all Transformers' weakness is the fire seed on their chest.
The two cars rushed into the parking lot. Bumblebee skillfully drifted, transforming during the roll to catch the falling Su Ming from the driver's seat, placing him behind itself.
He looked at Roadblock with a serious expression.
Roadblock also completed its transformation, unlike Bumblebee, it was equipped with countless weapons.
Saws, chains, missiles, lasers, any weapon you could think of, there was one on it.
"I will protect you, hold the glasses tightly."
Bumblebee decided it couldn't let a human face the attack of Decepticons, it was too dangerous.
Su Ming just slowly raised his head to look at him.
"Huh?"
Since when did Bumblebee get the illusion that Deathstroke needed protection?
"Bumblebee, hand over the star map!" The impatient Roadblock on the other side called, immediately opening fire with the laser run towards Bumblebee, who rolled into a leap behind a pile of trash, countering with an energy cannon transformed from its arm.
But the difference between a professional warrior and an amateur soldier was clear here, if the enemy's laser cannon was a massive 120 caliber, Bumblebee's was perhaps a modest 57 caliber.
Both sides seemed to completely ignore Su Ming, leaving him standing alone holding the glasses, as bi-colored lasers zipped back and forth, explosions sending debris flying everywhere.
Bumblebee planned to wait a bit; Optimus Prime and the others would tighten the net, and then with full firepower, Roadblock wouldn't escape even with wings.
Besides, Roadblock was not a three-change Cybertronian, it lacked a flight mode.
However, Su Ming still needed to prove his combat abilities, not allowing Optimus Prime and others to intervene.
He drew out the Godslayer from his waist, the cloak lifting him swiftly into the air, maintaining a distance instead of approaching Roadblock, aiming at that intense fight with Bumblebee.
"Shoot him, Divine Gun!"
The platinum brilliance in his hand unnaturally extended, like pinning an insect specimen with a needle, penetrating Roadblock from the chest.
The blazing white, electric weapon thrust from Roadblock's back.
The giant robot's red eyes instantly dimmed, collapsing to the ground with a loud crash. Su Ming casually sheathed his sword away, walking to the stunned Bumblebee.
"What did you just say? The wind was too strong, I didn't hear it clearly."
