#643 - Chapter 18 The Priory
"Pfft!" Cade pulled out the drone's wires, and the screen in front of Liu Yuan went black.
Liu Yuan smiled and said, "This guy's got some skills! Check out his background."
On the other side, Lucas asked, "There's a monitor on this thing, why keep it?"
Cade's hands were still trembling slightly. He tossed the disconnected wires aside and said, "This thing should be worth a lot! I worked hard to get it, maybe there's something we need inside!"
It was really dangerous just now. Those strange flames turned their shoes into metal. If he hadn't reacted quickly and taken off his pants, they would probably be sculptures by now.
Just then, the truck suddenly stopped, and Optimus Prime said, "You guys hide here for now, I'll go take a look around. To avoid the enemy still tracking you, I'll be back to pick you up by tomorrow at the latest."
Cade and the others looked around at the desolate surroundings. It was an abandoned gas station, which was part of American highway culture. After a large number of new highways were built, some old sections were abandoned, as well as some abandoned roadside towns.
"Dad, what do we do now?" Tessa looked at her father in a panic.
Cade turned around and saw Sean with his arm around Tessa's waist, and his face darkened. Cade walked over and slapped that hand away: "Let go, if I see you touching my daughter again, I'll chop off your hand!"
Lucas stood between them, trying to mediate, "Hey, man, calm down! Let's think about what we should do first, okay?"
Cade walked towards the abandoned gas station: "What else can we do? Let's go inside and hide! We might have to spend the night here." After saying that, he chiseled open the iron chain on the door and walked in first, and the others could only follow closely behind.
After entering the gas station, it was filled with an old and decaying smell. Cade looked around, trying to find something useful.
Lucas found an old radio in the corner, and after fiddling with it for a while, it actually made a crackling sound. Just then, a strange mechanical sound came from outside, and the lights in the room suddenly turned on.
Cade patted the dust off his body and walked in: "The generator in the warehouse in the back can still be used, it seems this gas station hasn't been abandoned for long. Lucas, go see if there are any clothes and shoes, haven't you noticed you're not wearing pants?"

In the previous abandoned factory, Harold looked at the large area of metalized ground under his feet. He reached out and knocked on it, making a crisp "clang clang clang" sound!
Harold said, "I can't believe it, Savoy, you were actually tricked by a Texan hillbilly inventor. I'll make a note of it in your record."
Savoy: "Do you think I'm in the mood to listen to your nonsense here? Boss, you should get to the point."
Harold whispered, "The higher-ups only think we are hunting Decepticons, and don't know we are dealing with Autobots. If someone reports it, you and I are finished, so those civilians can't be let go."
Savoy: "What if he goes to the FBI or the police?"
Harold: "I've already made arrangements, if there are similar police reports, they will be forwarded to me. But it will definitely be exposed after a long time, so you have to take care of them as soon as possible."
Silicon Valley, the basement of Star Ring Company. Liu Yuan browsed the data on the screen. If Joshua were here, he would recognize that this was his research data on transformable element programming.
Liu Yuan's investment in KSI Group was also unintentional. After all, he made too much money in 2008. Liu Yuan also needed a suitable identity to travel to the United States, and such a high-tech company focused on real industry was worth investing in. Liu Yuan didn't expect that Joshua and his team were so excellent, they developed particle recombination technology based on transformable elements.
Liu Yuan swiped through the information above and asked, "Aurora, how is it, can you replicate this technology?"
Aurora's projection appeared: "Master, this technical data is very detailed, and we can completely enter the application stage with our current level. However, some minor modifications need to be made to the existing production line."
Liu Yuan: "Very good, I need you to demonstrate whether this technology can be applied to you."
Aurora: "Yes, Master, I will notify Wheeljack and Sentinel Prime, they will verify the application of the new technology."
Liu Yuan nodded: "Also, how is the matter of searching for the descendants of King Arthur and Merlin going?"
Aurora: "Master, according to my investigation, the legendary Merlin should be real. And his bloodline descendants are still circulating, one of the direct lines established the Wittwiken family and created the Round Table Hermitage to hide behind the scenes. The other branch migrated from Byzantium to St. Petersburg in the Middle Ages and changed its name to Wittwick, your friend Sam is one of the few members."
Liu Yuan: "What else do you know about the Hermitage?"
Aurora: "I'm sorry, Master. I can only find this information online, some ancient organizations. Their information is more recorded in books, we need to conduct manual inquiries."
Liu Yuan: "Okay, what do you suggest?"
Aurora: "Master, I think you should go to the library. The libraries of Cambridge and Oxford University in the UK preserve a large number of ancient books, perhaps there is something you need inside."
Liu Yuan: "Okay, I'll go, remember what I told you, hurry up and study."
Aurora: "Yes, Master!"
Two more days passed, and Liu Yuan strolled on the campus of Oxford University. Oxford is not only a leading university in the UK, but also a top university in the world.
The humanities and social sciences here can be said to be the best in the world. There are 104 libraries on campus alone, of which the largest Bodleian Library is the second largest library in the UK, second only to the British Library. It contains a large number of ancient books, and even precious ancient books from other countries and civilizations.
Many precious books do not even have a catalog, so they are not included in the system, and even Aurora cannot find them.
But Liu Yuan also has a stupid way, who told him he is rich, he posted a reward announcement at Oxford University, asking those miserable students to rummage through books in the library.
Suddenly Liu Yuan found a commotion in front of him, and many students who were originally walking, accelerated their pace and ran towards that side. Out of curiosity, Liu Yuan also followed to see what was going on. This is already the outskirts of Oxford Town, and you can even see Blenheim Palace not far ahead.
