Strack was talking in circles, but the president didn't want to continue to push the envelope and just put the matter out in the open.
"Government-owned vibranium."
"Vibranium, are you going to use metal against that damn Lorna Dane?"
Rosoff sneered, thinking that this was an extremely ridiculous thing. Even if it was vibranium, it would be impossible to deal with Lorna Dane.
Straker showed a contemptuous smile: "I will modify its structure. General Rosoff is a scientist, and I am not that stupid."
The head of the Sentinel Secret Service still questioned: "Of all the vibranium, do you know how much it is?"
"According to my data, it should be around 8,000 tons, right? It's worth at least 80 trillion, but it has a price but no market."
Eighty trillion is just an estimate, the value of this thing is immeasurable.
This price is already several times the annual output value of the United States. You can imagine how terrifying it is.
If this wasn't a parallel world of mutants, I'm afraid the American government wouldn't be able to control so many resources.
"Impossible" the president directly refused. It was impossible for all the vibranium to fall into Strucker's hands. Otherwise, even if the sentries came out, they would not be able to use other means to counterattack and reproduce.
However, it is not good to break up. He said calmly: "Most of the vibranium has not been mined yet, and it will be a long time before it is mined. Moreover, a large part of it is scattered in various research institutions, and it is impossible to stop it.
If the project is extracted, the maximum we can give you is one thousand tons, which is the limit."
"Heh." Straker chuckled, but did not argue based on it: "It's okay, but if it is built in batches, this is not enough."
"Let's talk about it then."
At the end of the meeting, when one end of the screen went dark, the conference room also fell into silence.
"Your Excellency, are you going to let the Strack Group take such an extra step?"
Someone finally spoke next, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction. No matter how big the Straker Group was, as long as he stayed in this country for one day, he should act honestly and not be so intrusive.
The president had a sullen face and just said: "Deal with the mutants first, and then talk about other things. Rosoff, pay more attention to the Mexican border and don't let there be a big conflict for the time being."
"I understand that the garrison base has been adjusted, and the weapons have been replaced with special non-metallic weapons."
The president arranged the work one by one, and after another half an hour, the secret meeting ended.
In the underground laboratory of the Straker Group headquarters, Straker looked at the blacked-out display and laughed.
"A bunch of ignorant guys, you never know God's choice."
Bolivar Strack no longer has any humility, his eyes are full of pride. As long as he gets the vibranium, he will soon become the new god of this world.
He controlled the wheelchair to come out of his office and walked from the corridor towards the laboratory on the bottom floor. His speed was not slow, but he still walked a lot in the experimental base.
The huge underground test base is more like a small town than a base. It is so vast that it is hard to imagine.
The strange thing is that I didn't see any employees coming and going, but more humanoid sentry robots.
They are busy coming and going, and under the control of the program, they handle all the work in the experimental base in an orderly manner.
The bottom floor of the experimental base is a huge vault space, about twenty or thirty meters high, which is completely different in size from the floors above.
The circular corridor leans against the edge of the wall and surrounds the entire space.
In this empty space, a crimson sentry robot stood in the middle of the entire space. It was about ten meters tall, with a red body and black and gold lines connecting all parts of its body.
It is connected by countless pipelines, is in standby mode, and has not been started. It is just that compared with ordinary sentry robots, it looks weirder.
It is obviously made of a special material with a metal-like appearance, but at this time, there are groups of flesh-like things squirming on its skeleton and blending with each other, as if it is a robot made of flesh and blood.
Straker looked at the red sentinel in front of him, his eyes suddenly filled with enthusiasm and pride.
This is his masterpiece!
"Come on, you will be born soon." Straker stared at the entire Red Sentinel. Within a few months, he walked out of the ward, and his old body seemed to have an extra vitality.
A steady stream of inspiration burst out from his mind, and it felt like his mind had returned to his youth.
No, it's not just that.
Because he glimpsed another world in his sleep, another world's research on mutants.
Research that goes deep into the body, into genes, and plunders mutant abilities to the point where they are integrated into the body.
He even merged with himself from another world and merged with his spirit.
"Dr. Strucker, the analysis of Magneto Eric's X gene has been completed, and the analysis of Professor X's gene has been completed."
A cold voice sounded, and the voice of the Sentinel artificial intelligence echoed throughout the space.
Strack calmed down a bit. This was the artificial intelligence he built. After he got an opportunity like Apocalypse, he emptied the entire experimental base, leaving only him and the robots he controlled.
There can only be one person who can ascend to the throne of God with technology, and that is Straker.
When he gets rid of this old body, he will gain true immortality.
"Inject the Crimson Sentinel and start deep fusion."
"Start the 97th injection process, level four mutant genes, activate the highest level of energy."
Mechanical sounds sounded, hundreds of pipelines lit up, and a large amount of data and energy began to be input into the Red Sentinel's body.
Buzz
With the injection of energy and the reproduction of genes, the entire laboratory shook. Red light enveloped the entire laboratory, and powerful energy shook everything around it.
Strack sat in a wheelchair, watching everything happen calmly, his heart getting more and more heated.
"Powerful psychic abilities, domineering magnetic control, and a perfect body will be ready when the vibranium comes back. Oh, it's a pity that if that Jean Gray is still there, then the psychic abilities can be even more powerful."
Straker said to himself, with a hint of regret in his eyes from time to time. This was the first stage of his Red Sentinel, and it should have been more perfect.
"However, the dreamer Sonia's psychic abilities seem to have evolved, so she is a good choice. There are also several mutants with psychic abilities in the inner circle."
As time passed, the Red Sentinel gene fusion was soon completed, the vibration disappeared, the red light converged slightly, and then became calm again.
However, although the fusion has not continued for the time being, the transmission of energy has not stopped.
Unlike other Sentinels, the Red Sentinel is the most powerful weapon modified by Straker after being inspired by the power of the two worlds.
It is much more powerful than the Sentinel robot on the original trajectory, so naturally its energy does not have a special core.
Every material cell can hold energy and will become an energy source. The entire body is the energy core, so it naturally requires more energy.
Under this base, there are at least three nuclear reactors supplying it with energy, and two of them are now almost exhausted.
One can imagine how much investment Strack had made.
In this way, seven days later, the vibranium agreed with the US government finally arrived, but with him was Favaro Puenzo, the director of the Sentinel Secret Service.
