Chapter 527: Base No. 3
More than an hour later, the Lost World—【Nublar Island】.
A spacecraft slowly descended onto a concealed area on the island, following the disappearance of the water-like ripples surrounding it.
The sound of venting air followed, and the spacecraft's hatch slowly opened.
Sun Cheng removed his oxygen supply device and used his trembling hands to unbuckle the safety harness restraining his body.
With a somewhat pale complexion, he leaned back in the pilot's seat, resting for a long while before slowly standing up.
However, his legs were still shaking, and he even missed his footing while coming down the ladder.
Fortunately, this small spacecraft was not very high, but even so, it still caused Sun Cheng to fall to the ground, where he lay for seven or eight minutes before slowly sitting up.
"What a terrible experience!"
The experience of flying at full speed in this modified small spacecraft, which could reach a maximum speed of Mach 12 within a planet, was truly awful.
After resting for a full half-hour or so, Sun Cheng felt that he had barely recovered a little.
He slowly stood up from the ground and glanced at the bright Sun overhead; it was using its scorching high temperature to remind him that he was no longer within the borders of Xia Country.
"Nublar Island... I've returned..."
Looking around, the familiar yet strange mix of grasslands and rainforests, with winding mountain peaks visible in the distance—a variety of complex terrains appearing simultaneously on a single island—truly lived up to the phrase: "the creation of heaven and earth."
And the reason Sun Cheng had returned here was that 【Nublar Island】 was the very place he had chosen for Base No. 3.
The Lost World, the island of dinosaurs.
An accident half a year ago had exposed the secret this island had hidden for years.
In the following months, military forces, agents, and some officials from Costa Rica and the United States successively landed on the island.
After months of rigorous investigation, 【Nublar Island】 once again became a desolate, uninhabited island.
Because the ancient giant beasts—dinosaurs—bred on the island by 【International Genetic Technologies】, despite the U. S. government strictly suppressing related information on the internet.
However, the existence of 【Nublar Island】 was already no secret to various countries.
According to Sun Cheng's investigation, the Costa Rican government had once attempted to nationalize 【Nublar Island】, while using the rare creatures—dinosaurs—as a selling point to promote and attract foreign tourists to travel to Costa Rica.
However, this move was flatly rejected by the U. S. government.
Not to mention that 【Nublar Island】 was an overseas asset purchased by a U. S. citizen, the ancient dinosaurs on the island alone, plus the fact that aliens had once landed there, were enough to make the U. S. government keep its eyes on this island.
For the time being, there were simply too many eyes on 【Nublar Island】, and for various considerations, the U. S. government likely would not make any major moves regarding it for a while.
As for the nominal owner of 【Nublar Island】—【International Genetic Technologies】—various signs indicated that although the dinosaurs on 【Nublar Island】 had gone out of control during the accident a few months ago, causing multiple deaths and injuries.
Yet after the accident ended, although the boss of 【International Genetic Technologies】, 【John Hammond】, was held accountable and lost control of 【International Genetic Technologies】, capital did not abandon 【International Genetic Technologies】 because of this.
On the contrary, because the biological genetic technology mastered by 【International Genetic Technologies】 had already proven its maturity when resurrecting dinosaurs that had been extinct for tens of millions of years.
Therefore, 【International Genetic Technologies】 had now received additional investment from some Wall Street capital.
Intelligence collected by Sun Cheng through various online channels via Revenge showed that after 【John Hammond】 was kicked out of the management of 【International Genetic Technologies】, the new 【International Genetic Technologies】 did not stop breeding dinosaurs because of the tragedy on 【Nublar Island】.
Although they had abandoned 【Nublar Island】, 【Nublar Island】 was merely the dinosaur park that 【International Genetic Technologies】 had originally planned to open to tourists.
The actual location for breeding dinosaurs was on another, larger island about 130 kilometers away from 【Nublar Island】—【Sorna Island】.
After 【Nublar Island】 was exposed and drew widespread attention from various governments, 【International Genetic Technologies】 decisively abandoned 【Nublar Island】; they refused to acknowledge any news regarding the existence of dinosaurs on the island, and also denied reports of more than a dozen deaths on 【Nublar Island】 not long ago, continuing to study dinosaurs on 【Sorna Island】.
By the way, information collected by Revenge showed that the developed area of 【International Genetic Technologies】 on 【Sorna Island】 was even larger than that on 【Nublar Island】.
If no accidents occurred over there, it would likely replace 【Nublar Island】 and eventually transform into a successful 【Jurassic Park】.
But those were not things Sun Cheng cared about; the only thing he cared about was 【Nublar Island】.
"I should have thought of this place earlier; this is simply the best base location prepared for me by the heavens!"
Isolated on the sea, it was difficult for warships from other countries to approach due to the U. S. blockade.
At the same time, U. S. officials had already investigated 【Nublar Island】 for months, having grasped almost everything on the island, and had temporarily lost interest.
It could be said that the current 【Nublar Island】 was a perfect "three-no" zone.
As for the issue of daily supplies restricting the development of 【Nublar Island】, it was not a problem for Sun Cheng at all.
Decepticons and robots only consumed energy, so solving the power supply was equivalent to solving the daily supplies.
As for the raw materials needed for production and the construction of Base No. 3 here, Sun Cheng could use the Spherical Space to transport them in the early stages.
However, putting a large amount of raw materials into and taking them out of the Spherical Space would consume quite a bit of Energy Liquid.
Therefore, the next time he returned to the 【Transformers Universe】, he would need to find a way to bring back a nuclear submarine that had been converted into a Cargo Submarine.
Anyway, with several Decepticons under his command, Sun Cheng was not afraid that his large-scale procurement of supplies would be easily noticed by national-level powers.
And by the time Base No. 3 was built, there would not be as many things in the real world that could threaten him as there were now.
Gazing into the distance at a few Diplodocus grazing leisurely by a stream.
Sun Cheng took a deep breath, feeling the fresh, slightly fishy air unique to the island.
Only then did he speak: "Xiao Wu, alert mode!"
The micro-Decepticon Xiao Wu quickly jumped out of the spacecraft's cabin and began to stand guard on the grass beside Sun Cheng.
Only then did he put the spacecraft back into the Spherical Space, and at the same time, he took out more than a dozen shipping containers from the Spherical Space that had been prepared a few years ago.
Base No. 3, located on 【Nublar Island】, construction begins!
