Waltham, Raytheon''s new materials laboratory.
Kevin Hanks, a material expert employed by Raytheon and who has worked for him for 14 years, is wearing protective clothing and holding a piece of metal less than the size of an adult''s palm. He looks at the person who sent it with an unhappy expression.
"The Bumblebee''s body was sent to you for eight days, and as a result, such a piece of metal was cut?"
"In fact, in order not to affect the follow-up test of Bumblebee body, we only cut six pieces. You know, ordinary cold and hot cutting is useless for most of these alien bodies, so we have to use laser to cut!"
Kevin Hanks raised his eyebrows. It has been more than a week since the Bumblebee''s body was sent to Waltham. In the past week, Raytheon has mobilized a large number of scientific research elites from many laboratories in the company to focus on the technical investigation of the Autobot''s body.
However, the effect is not very good. After all, the level gap between earth civilization and Cybertron civilization is too large.
It''s not easy for a backward civilization that can''t even develop and utilize its own satellites to understand the product of a civilization that began interstellar colonization millions of years ago.
However, despite difficulties, Raytheon is willing to invest heavily in the study of Bumblebee organisms.
What is the research value of Autobots?
People who know well know that the value is too high.
The alloy used in their bodies can resist most weapons on earth, high temperature and corrosion resistance, and also has a certain self-healing ability.
Their kindling can provide long-term abundant energy for a behemoth weighing several tons or even dozens of tons.
In the view of many human scientists, the technology cited by the fire is the black technology comparable to the legendary nuclear fusion. Once mastered, it will be of great benefit to the promotion of civilization on the earth.
Autobots are mechanical life, and their variant ability also involves many fields, such as Pico meter electronic components smaller than nano, plastic memory metals, combat systems that perfectly simulate any weapons and equipment on earth, and so on.
Kevin Hanks took a piece of Bumblebee''s mecha fragment that had just been sent to his laboratory and weighed it a little. He found that it was not heavy.
"Can you only use laser cutting? It seems that the melting point is very high..."
With experience, after some preliminary evaluation, he clapped his hands and called all the staff in the laboratory.
"This is the Autobot surface armor slice just sent from above... Cheney, you go and prepare for a corrosion resistance test later..."
"OK, supervisor!"
"Cailin, you first test its boiling point and decompose it in one piece during the test. I need at least 20 pieces for other synchronous tests..."
"No problem, but it may take one or two days to complete a set of processes!"
"Then first find a way to get some debris particles, and other groups need to be used!"
"Well, let''s finish it as soon as possible!"
"Murphy, just keep an eye on Kailin and take it for component analysis when the particles come out!"
"Well, I hope it won''t be cheap carbon steel again!"
……
Kevin Hanks assigned the task and did not stay in the new materials laboratory for long.
After returning to his office and taking his coat, he went to another building next door.
The remains of the Bumblebee are now preserved there, where there is an NMR laboratory.
The remains of the Bumblebee are now there, undergoing a series of tests.
As the director of the new materials laboratory, Kevin Hanks has sufficient access.
He easily entered the building and walked to the NMR spectrometer laboratory.
After entering the observation room on the outside with their own ID card, many technical R & D leaders of Raytheon company are all concentrated in several transparent observation rooms here, watching technicians carry out a series of tests on the Bumblebee''s bones.
"It''s incredible that these extraterrestrial life are silicon-based life completely different from our earth people..."
"They have a large number of Pico meter electronic components in their bodies. These electronic components are equivalent to our human cell structure and are the most important and primitive part of them..."
"... so what is the operation principle of the fire? How can such a small structure provide a continuous surging power for a giant weighing four or five tons..."
"And how did they realize the free transformation in the form of robot and car..."
A large group of principals of Raytheon''s technology research and development are watching the detection of Bumblebee bones and whispering to familiar friends nearby.
Kevin Hanks'' arrival did not attract much attention, and he did not show any impatience.
Many technicians are not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. He is just one of them.
A group of technicians are still watching the Bumblebee''s skeleton detection with great interest, but no one found that at this time, in a building at Raytheon''s headquarters, a brand-new tape recorder is constantly transmitting information to the outside.
"The Bumblebee remains have been found... The location has been determined... Please act as soon as possible..."
With a very regular communication, Optimus Prime suddenly raised his head in an abandoned factory more than ten kilometers away.
"The tape recorder has determined the location of the Bumblebee''s body, Autobots, ready to move..."
A few days ago, after discovering that the former ally, the United States, stole the bodies of Autobots in Egypt, the angry Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, robbed all six stolen bodies from the warships of the United States Navy.
Different from Decepticons, Autobots were angry, but they did not retaliate against US Navy.
They only killed a dozen soldiers when they landed on the warship and were attacked by the sailors on the warship.
After resurrecting the group of dead Autobots, some Autobots were left in Africa by Optimus Prime and asked them to return to soli first and operate the temporary base carefully.
Optimus Prime himself, with more than a dozen Autobots such as tin, landed on the east coast of the United States across the Atlantic.
Now that it is known that in Jordan, the bodies of hornets and other Autobots who died in the battle to seize the [leadership module] have been transported back to China by the Americans.
Even if it is not already known that they will be dissected and studied by Americans, Optimus Prime, the Autobot leader, cannot sit back and watch the corpses of his loyal men and companions be insulted by humans after they die.
Therefore, after landing on the east coast, the rescue team quickly launched an operation. The Bumblebee suspected to be sent to the laboratory under the American arms giant Raytheon company is their first rescue target.
