Over an hour later, in the Lost World - Nubra Island.
A spacecraft slowly descended to a concealed spot on the island, with the ripples of water around the ship disappearing.
The sound of exhaust followed, and the spacecraft's hatch slowly opened.
Sun Cheng removed his oxygen supply, his hands trembling as he unbuckled the safety harness that had held his body.
His face, slightly pale, rested in the pilot's seat for a good half-hour before slowly standing up.
However, his legs were still shaky, and he even stumbled when coming down from the ladder.
Fortunately, the small spacecraft wasn't very high, but even so, Sun Cheng fell to the ground and lay there for seven or eight minutes before slowly sitting up.
"What a terrible experience!"
This modified small spacecraft, capable of flying at a maximum speed of twelve Machs within a planet, provided a truly dreadful experience during full-speed flight.
After resting for about half an hour, Sun Cheng began to feel slightly better.
He slowly stood up from the ground, looked at the bright sun overhead, which was reminding him with its scorching heat that he was no longer in Xia Country.
"Nubra Island... I'm back..."
Looking around, he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar grasslands, intermittent rain, and distant winding mountain peaks. Multiple complex terrains appeared on an island, embodying the phrase "the wonders of nature."
Sun Cheng had returned to Nubra Island because it was the chosen location for Base Number Three.
The Lost World, the Island of Dinosaurs.
An accident six months ago had exposed the island's secrets, hidden for years.
In the following months, Costa Rican and United States military forces, special agents, and some officials had landed on the island. After rigorous investigation, Nubra Island had once again become an uninhabited isle.
This was because of the ancient dinosaurs bred by the International Genetic Technology Corporation on the island, despite the United States government's strict suppression of related information on the internet.
However, the existence of Nubra Island was no longer a secret to various countries.
According to Sun Cheng's investigation, the Costa Rican government had attempted to nationalize Nubra Island, promoting it as a rare attraction for foreign tourists due to its dinosaurs.
However, the United States government had firmly rejected this proposal. Setting aside the fact that Nubra Island was overseas property purchased by United States citizens, the mere presence of ancient dinosaurs on the island and the history of alien landings were enough to make the United States government covet this island.
In the short term, there was too much attention on Nubra Island, and the United States government was unlikely to make any significant moves. As for the nominal owner of Nubra Island, the International Genetic Technology Corporation, all signs indicated that despite the accident a few months ago, which had resulted in the rampage of dinosaurs and casualties, the company's CEO, John Hammond, had faced accountability and lost control of the corporation. However, capital had not abandoned the International Genetic Technology Corporation.
On the contrary, the company's expertise in genetic technology had already proven its maturity by resurrecting dinosaurs extinct for millions of years.
So, the International Genetic Technology Corporation has received additional investments from Wall Street.
Sun Cheng ordered Revenge to gather intelligence from various online sources, showing that after John Hammond was ousted from the management of the International Genetic Technology Corporation, the new corporation did not stop breeding dinosaurs on Nubra Island despite the tragic events.
Although they had abandoned Nubra Island, it was originally planned by the International Genetic Technology Corporation to be a dinosaur park for tourists. The actual location for breeding dinosaurs was another larger island about 130 kilometers from Nubra Island - Isla Sorna.
After Nubra Island was exposed, attracting the attention of governments worldwide, the International Genetic Technology Corporation decided to abandon Nubra Island. They refused to acknowledge any reports of dinosaurs on the island and the recent deaths of several people on Nubra Island. They continued their research on dinosaurs on Isla Sorna.
By the way, the information collected by Revenge showed that the International Genetic Technology Corporation on Isla Sorna had built a facility even larger than the one on Nubra Island.
If everything went smoothly there, it would likely replace Nubra Island and ultimately become a successful Jurassic Park.
However, those were not Sun Cheng's concerns; the only thing he cared about was Nubra Island.
"I should have thought of this earlier. This place is simply the best base prepared for me by the heavens!"
Located independently above the sea, it was difficult for warships from other countries to approach due to United States' blockade. Meanwhile, the United States government had already investigated Nubra Island for several months and had almost complete knowledge of everything on the island, losing interest for the time being.
In other words, Nubra Island was currently a perfect no-man's land.
As for the issue of supplies that could limit Nubra Island's development, it was not a problem for Sun Cheng. Decepticons and robots only consumed energy, so solving the power supply was equivalent to solving the supply issue.
Regarding the raw materials needed for the construction of Base Number Three, Sun Cheng could use the Spherical Space for transportation in the early stages.
However, transferring large quantities of raw materials into and out of the Spherical Space would consume a considerable amount of energy fluid. Therefore, the next time he returned to the Transformers Universe, he would need to find a way to bring back a nuclear submarine converted into a cargo submarine.
Anyway, with a few Decepticons under his command, Sun Cheng was not afraid of purchasing large quantities of supplies and being easily targeted by national-level forces.
And when Base Number Three was completed, there would be fewer threats to him in the Real World than there were now.
Looking into the distance at several Brachiosauruses grazing by a riverbank, Sun Cheng took a deep breath, savoring the slightly fishy scent of the island's fresh air.
Only then did he say, "Xiao Wu, activate surveillance mode!"
The mini Decepticon Xiao Wu quickly jumped out of the spacecraft's cabin and stood guard beside Sun Cheng on the grass.
Sun Cheng then retracted the spacecraft into the Spherical Space and, one by one, took out a dozen or so cargo containers that had been prepared for several years.
Construction of Base Number Three on Nubra Island had begun!
