Chapter 531 Details

The plane is the latest Boeing 787-10. It takes [-] hours to fly from Beijing International Airport to the International Airport in Big Apple City.

There are three international airports in the Big Apple, and this flight will land at Fitzgerald International Airport.

Because the flight time is too long, in order to have a better and more comfortable flight experience, the three of Chen Yang did not choose domestic airlines.

It has nothing to do with patriotism or not, it is purely because the first class cabin of domestic airlines does not have private rooms...

If it's just a few hours of flying, ordinary first class or business class will definitely be able to meet the requirements of three people.

But the flight time is more than ten hours, if there is no private room, it will make the journey look a little tiring.

Of course, Chen Yang didn't care. He used to think that the economy class was too expensive. Unless the price of the plane was cheaper than the train, he would definitely choose the second-class train seat for travel.

But Chu Xin and Shao Junqi have never experienced hardships since they were young. When they go out to play, of course they come as comfortable as possible.

After getting on the plane and sitting in his own private compartment, Chen Yang got up and kissed Chu Xin who was sitting in the next compartment, and then reactivated the artificial intelligence.

There is an internet connection on the plane, so the artificial intelligence equipped with the portable brain can still connect to the internet and continue to search for what Chen Yang needs.

What a smart brain in hand... I have it in the world!

Not long after, all the passengers had boarded the plane.

Because it is a long-distance international flight, the departure queue at the airport is very high, so after completing the boarding, taxiing began soon.

It wasn't until the plane lifted up smoothly and entered a gentle automatic flight that Chen Yang controlled the artificial intelligence and continued to investigate the two most important gold storage places.

Soon, Chen Yang discovered a very interesting point.

That is the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank in the Big Apple City, which is actually allowed to be visited by the outside world!

It's just that if you want to visit, you need to go through a lot of audits, and you have to go through detailed identity registration in advance. You can only take a fixed tour route and be led by a special guide.

But for Chen Yang, this is not a problem at all!

He can easily intrude through the network and determine in advance when those who are qualified to visit will visit the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank.

Then, through the invisibility feature of the invisibility cloak, go in directly with the other party, and then move freely!

Of course, before that, he had to find the detailed structural diagram of the underground vault, and the distribution of corresponding security measures.

Only in this way can we ensure that we can keep ourselves as safe as possible during the process of stealing gold!

The Federal Reserve Bank is actually a collective name, that is, the famous Federal Reserve.

The entire Eagle State will be divided into twelve Federal Reserve Districts.

A Federal Reserve Bank is set up in each district and named after the city where it is located. The Federal Reserve Bank in the Big Apple City is one of them.

The entire Federal Reserve System is actually an institution that implements monetary policy.

The central bank of the Eagle State is organized differently from the central banks of other Western countries in that it is not a separate bank.

Rather, it is a financial system that performs the functions of a central bank, consisting of the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Banks of the twelve regions, the Federal Open Market Committee, and the Federal Advisory Committee.

It has the functions of issuing currency, acting as an agent for the treasury, regulating currency circulation, supervising private banks and managing finance, and organizing bill clearing.

Although there are a total of twelve reserve banks, most of the gold is stored in the reserve bank in the Big Apple City.

Moreover, the assets of the Reserve Bank in the Big Apple City account for about a quarter of the assets of the entire system, and it can indeed be called a core reserve bank.

Almost [-]% of the world's official gold reserves are stored in the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank of the Big Apple. If all goes well, it is unknown how the countries will react if so much gold is evaporated in an instant.

Instead of continuing to pay attention to the Federal Reserve Bank, Chen Yang turned his attention back to Fort Knox.

Since the bank vault in Big Apple City is allowed to enter and visit, the relative difficulty of intrusion is obviously much lower.

After arriving in the Big Apple City, it should be too late to think about what to do.

In comparison, Fort Knox is a real headache.

It is known as the safest place in the entire Eagle Country. In a sense, even the safety of Air Force One cannot be compared with Fort Knox!

Even if you ignore the troops stationed near Fort Knox, the defense system of Fort Knox itself is enough to make people desperate.

Fort Knox is a freestanding fort built entirely of granite and concrete.

There are only two floors above ground and two floors underground.

Around the fortress, two layers of extremely strong walls were cast.

All kinds of power grids and high-tech monitoring equipment are mixed together, even if a mouse wants to get in, it must have nowhere to hide.

Even after crossing the fence, there are densely packed minefields and sniper spots for 24-hour monitoring of the situation in the courtyard.

These sniper points are all in a state of combat readiness. Once an abnormal situation is found, the sniper will shoot without hesitation.

At the same time, the windows on the second floor of Fort Knox are all camouflaged.

It uses Kevlar armor and barriers made of various steels.

Once at night, various lighting measures will be used to make the fortress disappear from view.

In this way, the idea of ​​night raids or air bombing of Fort Knox in the dark is almost impossible to realize.

Inside Fort Knox, the two floors above the ground are almost all offices for various staff and managers, and the overall framework is no different from a normal office building.

Enter the underground through the elevator to actually reach the vault at Fort Knox.

The vault gate is a steel gate fifty centimeters thick and weighing twenty tons.

In order to open this door, several high-level financial officials in the Eagle Kingdom need to enter the special passwords they hold separately.

And inside the gate, there are many small rooms, and each room is full of gold bars!

If someone breaks into the vault illegally, a high concentration of stunning smoke will be sprayed out of the passage immediately!

But what is quite strange is that according to the data, there is actually a central treasury inside Fort Knox.

It's just that this central vault is not set up in the fourth-floor space in the public information, but at the bottom of Fort Knox, which is almost as large as the entire Fort Knox!

Really most of the gold, as well as other national treasures, seem to be... all stored in this central vault!

Chapter 532 Arriving in Eagle Country

Chen Yang studied for several hours, and basically had a detailed understanding of the internal and external conditions of Fort Knox.

The distance from the Big Apple to Fort Knox is not too far, a total of more than 200 kilometers.

If you drive forward, it will be very time-consuming, and it is estimated to be about fifteen hours.

But it is entirely possible to fly directly from the Big Apple to Louisville, and then from Louisville to Fort Knox.

In this way, the end of the journey will be shortened to only a few tens of kilometers.

The flight time is about one and a half hours, and the time spent on the road will not be long.

Hmm... Let's play in the Big Apple for two days first, inspect the situation of the Federal Reserve Bank on the spot, and then wait for the opportunity to decide the time to start.

Once successful, go to Louisville immediately, and do it if you can. If you really don't have a chance to do it, you can only give up.

In short, as long as you do something in the Big Apple City, you must not stay in the Eagle Country for too long!

While eating the plane meal, while pondering these things in his mind, Chen Yang already had a relatively rough plan.

The taste of the plane meal is not bad, Chen Yang didn't ask for wine, because he was afraid of appetizing...

The amount is not large, and if you repeatedly ask for several more, it is impossible to fill your stomach. If you drink more wine and make you want to eat more food, won't it scare the flight attendant to death?

In case all the meals prepared by the whole plane were eaten by Chen Yang alone, then maybe Chen Yang would land in a box and be taken away for investigation.

After simply eating something to pad his stomach, Chen Yang asked the flight attendant for a pair of disposable eye masks, then adjusted his mental state, and soon fell asleep.

Sleep can effectively relieve hunger, provided that you can fall asleep...

The flight of more than ten hours passed in a flash. When Chen Yang took off the blindfold and opened his eyes again while squinting, the plane had already started to lower its altitude, preparing for the final landing.

Along the window of the plane, you can already clearly see the bustling urban area below.

The Statue of Liberty and the famous Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges are all in sight.

In particular, the two bridges are all about 2000 meters in length, and the suspension height from the sea level is about 40 meters.

Such two magnificent bridges were all built around [-]!

When you think about it carefully, it's a bit unbelievable!

After all, the country at that time was still in the late Qing Dynasty!

But Eagle Country, far away across the ocean, has basically stepped into a modernized society!

Dozens of stories, even hundreds of stories of skyscrapers abound!

It is hard to imagine the despair in the hearts of the students studying abroad in the late Qing Dynasty or the officials of the late Qing Dynasty when they arrived at the Big Apple City in the Eagle Country by sea boat.

It doesn't look like a country of an era at all...

The plane landed quickly. Chen Yang, Chu Xin, and Shao Junqi got off the plane, took a taxi directly, and rushed to the hotel they had booked in advance.

The Big Apple City is the largest city in Eagle Country and also the largest port.

Although the population is not very large, it cannot be compared with many cities in China, with only less than 900 million people.

But it directly affects the global economy, finance, media, politics, education, entertainment and fashion.

The headquarters of many international agencies, multinational companies and banks in the world, including the United Nations headquarters, are located in the Big Apple City.

For some, this is heaven.

Because as long as you have money, you can enjoy all the fun you can imagine, or even unimaginable, here.

Likewise, for others, this is hell.

Because as long as you are poor, everything in the city has nothing to do with you.

Those luxurious places and complete supporting facilities are not accessible to the poor.

Even in the free parks of municipal works, homeless people are not allowed to approach at night.

The capitalist world has exposed the darkest and most practical side of this society without any cover.

Sitting in the taxi, Chen Yang watched the street scene of the Big Apple City along the way.

The entire Big Apple City is divided into five administrative districts. The hotel that Chu Xin and Shao Junqi booked is located in Manhattan, the smallest, most densely populated, and most central district.

The full name is Trump International Hotel.

That's right...it's the hotel owned by Trump...

Not only a luxury five-star hotel, but also a chain.

If this kind of thing happened in China, it would definitely cause a stir like a frying pan.

But in Eagle Country, it's just commonplace.

"I booked a two-bedroom suite, so don't live alone, live with us, lest you feel that we are neglecting you."

The taxi soon arrived outside the hotel lobby. Chu Xin said to Chen Yang with a smile while getting off the car.

"Tsk, I said I won't disturb your two-person world, so you better change the room for me, otherwise, I can feel the murderous aura released by Jun Qi."

Chen Yang said.

"It's very expensive, okay! The suite I booked costs three thousand dollars a night! If you change the room temporarily, you will lose a lot."

Chu Xin said angrily.

"That's right, and you made it clear, what kind of murderous intent did I release? Anyway, Xinxin and I are in the same room, and you are in the same room. Is it possible that you still dare to come to my room with Xinxin?"

Shao Junqi glared at Chen Yang and said.

"Hey, maybe that's true, what if I get drunk again?"

Chen Yang said with a smile.

Shao Junqi couldn't help but suffocate, turned her head angrily, and simply ignored Chen Yang.

The three of them quickly completed the check-in procedures, and after putting their suitcases in the room, Chu Xin and Shao Junqi wanted to relieve the jet lag, so they had a simple meal, then lay down and fell asleep to rest.
