Chapter 7

"Only a low-level energy matrix, Su, don't worry. We don't need to act; let the mechanical sentry handle it."

"As for those cultivators, we've even roasted dragons and native bird people from other dimensions. Cultivators, monks, they're just a profession."

"The universe is a world of science, where technology is the primary combat power!"

Posey smiled slightly and released the mechanical sentry. The mechanical sentry, which looked like a car model, began to transform amidst the sound of mechanical friction, turning into a small robot with a clear sci-fi style, though it somewhat resembled the villainous robots from sci-fi movies.

Watching the small robot burrow into the soil, Su默 could only hold his umbrella and wait in place. The day was unbearably hot, and Zeus and Posey were clearly unaffected, but he, an ordinary Earthling, couldn't handle it.

"How long will it take?" Su默 glanced at the time and asked Posey.

"About two hours." Posey responded while operating his detection device.

Posey lightly pressed a button on the detection device, and the mechanical sentry and the internal structure of the hill appeared as a holographic projection in the air. The mechanical sentry had already entered the small hill and was attacking an energy shield. Su默 glanced at the holographic projection, and his umbrella almost fell from his hand. The so-called energy matrix was actually a Bagua diagram!

Is it really an array?

An energy matrix?

"Su, we are Capricorns, stay calm! It's just a low-level energy matrix, stay calm, stay calm. We Capricorns are best at cracking energy matrices. Su, you'll learn it gradually and won't be surprised anymore."

Posey comforted Su默, while Zeus simply lay on the ground, his sheep head showing a look of enjoyment as he basked in the sun!

Comparing humans to aliens is simply infuriating!

Su默 put his backpack on the ground, sat on it, and watched the mechanical sentry crack the energy matrix under the scorching sun. Posey said it would take two hours to crack, so he decided to wait for two hours. Actually, he was a bit envious of the two Capricorns, who were not afraid of cold or heat and had various powerful skills. He wondered if, after learning Capricorn combat techniques, he would be like Posey and Zeus.

"Su, you are our Capricorn's future super warrior. Don't worry, you will be even stronger than Zeus and me!" Posey, who could read minds, comforted Su默 again.

Su默 shook his head. He didn't dare to be a super warrior; he just wanted to learn to be immune to cold and heat. Currently, he had only learned the second move of the basic combat techniques, which was Moonlight Meditation. To learn the third move, his mental scale needed to reach at least 5. Currently, Su默's mental scale was only 3.5.

Posey liked to talk, while Zeus didn't. Posey was more like an all-knowing prophet, and Zeus was more like a silent warrior. Su默 looked at Zeus, who was enjoying the scorching sun, and then at the slow progress of the mechanical sentry in the holographic projection. He sighed and could only wait under the scorching sun.

After half an hour, the mechanical sentry broke through the first layer of the energy matrix. Posey was surprised; he hadn't noticed that the energy matrix was actually a multi-layered matrix.

After one hour, the mechanical sentry broke through the second layer of the matrix. The detector showed that the sentry was only half a meter away from the bronze artifact.

After two hours, the mechanical sentry broke through the energy matrix!

"Success!"

Su默 jumped up from the ground. In the next moment, he saw the bronze artifact disappear from the holographic projection! What happened? Su默 looked at Posey.

"The sentry needs to recharge." Posey smiled in response.

Brother, that's money! An ancient bronze artifact is definitely a treasure! An energy matrix-protected bronze artifact can definitely fetch a high price! Just like that, it was eaten by the sentry? Su默 shook his head. He was about to see the treasure, but he didn't even have the luck to see it.

It seems that feeding the mechanical sentry is not an easy task.

In the projection, the bronze artifact disappeared, but a golden metal remained, looking like a lump of gold. However, since it was protected by an energy matrix, it was probably not gold. Gold is a universal currency, but it clearly didn't need an energy matrix to protect it, especially when placed inside a bronze artifact.

If it's not gold, what metal could it be?

"Snap!"

For a moment, Su默 thought he heard something being flattened, and then he saw the mechanical sentry in the projection being flattened by the lump of golden metal.

"This..."

"Don't worry, Su, the sentry will get up soon. It seems we had good luck this time; that lump of golden metal is probably something good."

Posey wasn't worried at all and smiled, looking at the holographic projection. Zeus, however, was still lying on the ground, basking in the sun. This Capricorn was hopeless. In this era, being silent and taciturn was not a good way to get by, especially when everyone was concerned about the sentry's progress, but Zeus didn't care at all. This was completely a case of disengagement from the organization and the masses!

As Posey said, the flattened sentry robot got up! On the holographic projection, the two palm-sized pancake robots were carrying the lump of metal back, returning from the hill. Su默 noticed the data marked on the projection and was slightly surprised. The center of the energy matrix was actually 16 meters underground, buried quite deep. On the other hand, Su默 was also amazed by the efficiency of the sentry robot, which was indeed a testament to Capricorn technology.

In less than three seconds, the sentry robot emerged from the mud hole, with the metal on its head. The metal seemed quite heavy, and with each step, it left a deep footprint on the ground. At first glance, the metal was golden and shiny, but upon closer inspection, it had a hint of colorful light, like a rainbow. The pancake robot dropped the unknown metal on the ground, and the metal sank halfway into the soil, indicating its weight.

"What kind of metal is it? Can it be sold? How much is it worth?" Su默 also examined the metal on the ground. He didn't think it was gold; gold wouldn't be that heavy. Considering the energy matrix that resembled a Bagua diagram, this metal was likely a high-grade alloy forged by cultivators and should be worth a lot.

Posey was silent for a moment, quickly tapping on the detector. Soon, he stopped, and the holographic projection froze on a golden metal, identical to the one on the ground.

"Testor alloy, a high-grade alloy in the universe, used as material for manufacturing space warships, with certain spatial properties. Unfortunately, the purity of this alloy is very low. What surprises me is that it was forged by humans, not by machines."

Posey explained, and he was also surprised. Testor alloy was common in the universe, but human-forged Testor alloy was something only a fool would do. In the eyes of Capricorns, forging high-grade alloys by hand was an extremely bizarre behavior. Because it was bizarre, it surprised Posey. And usually, bizarre meant foolish.

At this moment, Zeus got up from the ground, seemingly having had enough sun. He touched his sheep horns and yawned, then stood quietly in place, like a serene girl. In fact, he was male.

"Can it be sold?" This was what Su默 cared about most. With money, he could buy metal to recharge the flying saucer and upgrade the sentry robot.

Posey smiled mysteriously. In the next moment, the sentry robot's mechanical arm extended toward the Testor alloy on the ground. In the blink of an eye, the Testor alloy was eaten by the sentry robot!

Su默 only heard the sentry robot chewing the metal, a clear and powerful sound. There was no doubt that the sentry robot's teeth could bite through the hardest alloy on Earth.

"Selling it would be less useful than letting the sentry eat it. A piece of Testor alloy plus the previous bronze artifact is enough to increase the sentry's weight a bit and develop new functions. Su, what do you want the sentry to become?" Posey asked with a smile.

The sentry robot began to transform, the mechanical friction and movement filled with a powerful charm!

"A car, let it become a car. Preferably a yellow one like Bumblebee." Su默 originally wanted the sentry robot to become an Autobot, but after some thought, he decided to start with a car.

"As you wish!"

Amidst the mechanical friction and a magnificent transformation, the sentry robot completed its first stage of evolution, and a car appeared before Su默! Su默 opened his mouth wide and stood there for five seconds before speaking.

"A minivan... Posey, can the sentry only become a minivan?"

Looking at the minivan, Su默 felt an urge to curse. The previous transformation was so cool, but it turned into a minivan! It wasn't that Su默 was prejudiced against minivans, but this thing was not on the same level as the ideal Bumblebee at all! It lacked the coolness of Bumblebee!

"Bumblebee, no problem, the sentry's core contains data on all vehicles released on Earth up to yesterday!"

Posey chuckled, and the minivan transformed again, with the magnificent mechanical parts and high-speed movement telling Su默 that the sentry could indeed transform! Bumblebee, transformation complete! It was really a Bumblebee!

"Damn!" Su默 excitedly cursed, threw away his umbrella, and almost pounced on the car, his hands caressing the hood!

"Absolutely perfect! Can it drive?"

"Testor alloy isn't just for show." Posey smiled mysteriously, opened the car door like a gentleman, and Su默 jumped in, sitting in the driver's seat.

"Get in! Get in! Let's take a lap first!"

Su默 made the two Capricorns get in the car. He was in high spirits, even though he didn't know how to drive, but the sentry robot could. As long as he held the steering wheel, it didn't matter whether he drove or not; it was all about the thrill!

Posey and Zeus sat in the back seat, the car doors closed automatically, the seat belts fastened automatically, and the windows rolled down automatically. Then came the roar of the car engine, and Bumblebee charged out fiercely!

Late at night, many people in the area heard the roar of the car engine. Some even took photos of the noisy sports car. Looking at the photo, he cursed, "Damn, racing at night!"

"But, this Bumblebee is indeed cool!"

"Hey, why did I immediately think of the Bumblebee from Transformers?"
