A New Shield

It was still that same laboratory, still Sun Cheng and the Forge of Solus Prime.

Looking at the dozen or so tons of the latest System Alloy piled into a small mountain in the open space, along with various other rare metals and materials, Sun Cheng impatiently looked at the Forge of Solus Prime in his hand. "Forge of Solus Prime, we can begin!"

It had already been half a month since the Battle of Cairo ended!

Yet Sun Cheng was still shut away in the laboratory.

Recently, he had not even had time to continue absorbing Sentinel Prime's memory data.

The reason was simple: the Forge of Solus Prime, which had remained utterly indifferent toward him ever since Sun Cheng found it, had unexpectedly taken the initiative to speak with him.

What followed was even more surreal. Sun Cheng had long wanted to persuade the Forge of Solus Prime to forge equipment for him, so naturally, he would not miss such a fine opportunity.

Thus, after Sun Cheng appealed to its emotions and supplemented his argument with the historical ties between Cybertronian civilization and the Quintessa Civilization, he finally succeeded in persuading the Forge of Solus Prime to begin helping him forge what it considered nothing more than ordinary equipment.

The previous shield had merely been a routine test.

Over the past week or so, Sun Cheng had used the Forge of Solus Prime to forge four more similar shields in succession.

As he continued experimenting, every shield he forged with the Forge of Solus Prime was of better quality and greater strength than the last.

After several repeated trials, Sun Cheng had gained some experience.

So today, he intended to forge a suitable piece of equipment for himself as well.

"Same specifications as before?"
