Chapter 99: Dinosaurs and Earthly Fiend
Bering Sea is located at the junction of the Eurasian and North American plates, adjacent to Alaska. It is said to contain gold worth approximately 250 billion US Dollars.
Unlike the common impression people have, gold mining in the area doesn't involve digging from the ground. Instead, methods are used to extract the gold from the cold and treacherous seabed of the Bering Sea.
Within the Bering Strait, over a dozen Gold Dredgers are spread across this mining area, viewed from high altitude.
The deep blue seawater is tainted by black water rising from the bottom, caused by stirred-up sediment polluting the Sea Surface.
Among the numerous Gold Dredgers, a white yacht, one hundred and twenty feet long, stands out like a crane among chickens.
On the yacht's deck, Magneto, dressed in a suit, watched the gold sand on a metal plate with interest.
The fine gold sand shimmered with golden light under the setting sun's afterglow.
Though not much, gold always brings joy. Magneto reached out and grabbed a handful of gold sand, watching the glittering little bits slip through his fingers.
……………
"According to our agreement, this is this month's gold sand!"
In the sea near New York, several speedboats were docked near a cruise ship.
Lane raised his eyebrow, looking at the two speedboats opposite with deep draft lines.
The tall Sabretooth easily moved heavy boxes onto the yacht where Lane was located.
Lane raised his hand to signal, and two soldiers stepped forward, opened the boxes, revealing the gold sand piled high inside.
After checking the purity and weight of the gold sand, Lane nodded in satisfaction.
"For this transaction, we'd like to change the method!"
A tall blonde woman handed a list to Lane.
"This is a batch of equipment we need, with a total value of around two hundred million. We want to purchase this equipment through your channel!"
Lane took the list and scanned it: polymer heater, energy generator,...
His brain quickly processed the information, and Lane soon estimated the approximate price of this equipment. The purchase price was indeed around two hundred million.
However, some of the equipment on the list are also controlled items in the Federation. Ordinary companies require very strict aptitude conditions to purchase them.
But if purchased on the black market, the price would not exceed twenty-five million US Dollars.
"I need to make a phone call!"
Lane gestured to the woman, walked to the other end of the yacht, and picked up the satellite phone.
"Boss, Magneto's people have delivered the gold sand..."
"High-tech equipment, is there any problem going through Oscorp's procurement path?"
On the Gulfstream G550 business jet, Tang Song took the satellite phone from Fox beside him.
After hearing Magneto's requirement, Tang Song looked at the white clouds outside the porthole and asked Lane.
"No problem, Boss. Oscorp's aptitude can indeed avoid a lot of trouble!"
"Then proceed with it. A hundred million USD profit, but be careful and don't let anyone trace it back to us!"
Magneto's way of doing things will make him a thorn in the side of human governments sooner or later. Boss Tang, an honest and upright person, cannot be associated with such a terrorist.
"I understand, Boss!"
Hearing Tang Song hang up the phone, Lane put away the satellite phone, walked over to the blonde woman, and extended his hand.
"Then, happy cooperation!"
………
Three speedboats sped across the Sea Surface. The blonde woman stood at the bow of one speedboat. As the sea breeze blew, her clothing rapidly transformed into blue spiked skin, quickly turning into a blue-skinned, spiky, grotesque image.
Mystique, Magneto's right-hand woman, and the second-in-command of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
"Ms. Raven, what do you think BOSS needs these human equipment for?"
A man wearing a jacket and night vision goggles drove the yacht.
His appearance was ugly, covered in bumps like those on a toad's back. As he spoke, he stuck out a tongue over ten meters long, wrapped it around a flying fish that had leaped out of the water, and swallowed it whole.
"Erik naturally has his reasons for doing this. We don't need to worry so much, just do as he instructs!"
Mystique stood at the bow, enjoying the brief tranquility brought by the sea breeze. As she said, she didn't care what Magneto's goal was; she only cared about staying by Magneto's side and helping him achieve his goal.
Hiss hiss!
Toad pouted, chewing the flying fish in his mouth loudly.
…………
Tang Song lightly flicked the glass on the plane's porthole with his finger. The sea of clouds seemed to be right beneath him. He gently waved his hand, and outside the plane, a cloud changed shape with the movement of his finger.
Lotus platform, treasure pagoda, ancient bell, flying apsara. The clouds were kneaded into various shapes by him through the porthole.
Tang Song didn't care what Magneto's purpose was for these high-tech equipment.
A hundred million US Dollars in profit could buy two Gulfstream planes like the one he was currently on.
Of course, the plane Boss Tang was currently riding was not his private jet.
The private jet he ordered through Wells Fargo was still being customized.
In fact, from the list of equipment reported by Lane, Tang Song vaguely guessed Magneto's plan.
That unreliable device from the original plot that converted ordinary humans into mutants.
But that was none of his business. Boss Tang only cared about making his own money.
This trip to Costa Rica, Boss Tang spent a million US Dollars to charter a Gulfstream plane specifically from an airline company.
……
Costa Rica, a presidential republic located in Latin America, bordering Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south.
Six hours after takeoff, the plane landed at Maria International Airport in San José, the capital of Costa Rica.
At the airport, several helicopters had been waiting for a long time.
Tang Song, accompanied by Fox and eight bodyguards, went straight onto the helicopter.
These planes were not leased but belonged to John Hammond's InGen (International Genetic Technologies).
Red Queen had compiled data about this company from the internet. The company had been dedicated to the research of paleontology.
The company's founder, John Hammond, was a fanatical admirer of the prehistoric era, especially obsessed with certain large reptiles, such as - dinosaurs.
According to the information disclosed by InGen, they successfully extracted dinosaur DNA from a mosquito in amber and successfully combined it with the DNA of modern reptiles. They successfully resurrected this ancient overlord!
Soon, the helicopter arrived at an island near Costa Rica.
Tang Song's helicopter slowly landed on the Helipad. A group of people, led by two white elders, had been waiting there early.
"Welcome, welcome, Mr. Tang, welcome to the dinosaur paradise!"
A plump elder wearing a sun hat and a suit jacket laughed heartily and gave Tang Song, who had just stepped off the plane, a hug, appearing very enthusiastic.
Tang Song had seen his data in the information provided by Red Queen: John Hammond, doctor of biology, and also the owner of this island.
"It was my idea to invite you to Isla Nublar this time. Charles and I are old friends, you don't mind, do you?"
Tang Song smiled: "It is my honor to be able to witness creatures from the ancient era!"
After exchanging pleasantries with Doctor Hammond, Tang Song extended his hand to the bald elder beside him.
Uh, although both were named Charles and were also bald, this Mr. Charles Weyland was not a mutant.
This Charles Bishop Weyland was born in Mumbai, India, and was British.
The Weyland Corporation he founded was involved in many projects, from daily necessities to space solar panels, and was a multinational company with a market value exceeding a hundred billion.
Moreover, this Mr. Weyland was secretly an official member of the Sacred Shield Brotherhood, and the resources in his hand were terrifying.
However, this Mr. Weyland was indeed old. His bald head was not due to mutant ability like Professor X. From the few strands of white hair he had left, it could be seen that his hair had gradually fallen out with age.
