The elevator that goes in and out of the vault is very large, much larger than the elevators used in ordinary buildings.
Mainly due to the load.
Elevators commonly used in ordinary buildings, even larger ones, only have a load capacity of just over one ton. Many small elevators only weigh a few hundred kilograms, which means they are overweight for seven or eight people.
That won't work here in the vault.
The specific gravity of gold is very heavy, much heavier than a human being. Even one cubic meter weighs close to twenty tons. A small elevator weighing more than one ton is not practical at all, and a few gold bricks are overweight.
Therefore, a large elevator with a load of more than 20 tons is needed. Even with such a large elevator, it is very troublesome to transport all the gold from the vault.
"Is this elevator really immobile?"
Opening the closed door of the elevator and looking at the dark elevator shaft below, the pod was more than ten meters deep and connected to the top through several thick steel cables. The major pointed at the elevator below and asked.
"People can still move as long as they turn on the power supply. However, although there are forklifts and other transportation tools in the vault, the door of the vault is circular in design, and the forklift cannot get out at all. Back then, the forklifts were dismantled into parts and assembled in the vault.
Moving money or gold has to be carried out manually. It's not that I think it is so troublesome, but the design of the vault is like this. In order to prevent gold from being stolen, convenience is not considered, but trouble comes as it comes. "
Faced with the threat of a gun, the person in charge of the treasury responded very neatly, saying everything he could and could not say. The treasury was there anyway, and it didn't matter whether he told lies or not.
"Go down and take a look!" the major ordered.
Immediately, several clone soldiers wearing body armor slid down the steel cable.
Soon gunfire rang out from below, indicating a firefight with the guards below.
It sounded like the soldiers were pressing down on the guards and beating them.
Also, the guards are all security personnel who have never seen blood. Even if they train every day, they can't compare to the clone soldiers who can compete with the King of Soldiers in all aspects.
After about five or six minutes, the elevator below rose up. Apparently, the clone soldiers had killed several guards below and controlled the elevator in and out of the vault.
Sitting on the elevator, the major and the person in charge of the treasury came to the outside of the underground vault. They looked at the alloy steel protective door of the vault. The major couldn't help but nodded. This design is really perverted.
The alloy steel protective door is very thick, estimated to be more than half a meter, with a circular design, as tall as one person, and the door swing hand adopts the most original turntable design.
Don't be fooled by the turntable and think the design is backward. If nothing else goes wrong, this door should have a mechanical and electronic double locking structure, and it needs to be opened with triple password verification.
"Open the door." The major looked at the person in charge of the treasury beside him and said.
"I can't open it without the password." Seeing the major trying to open the door of the underground vault by himself, the fat manager in charge of the vault quickly raised his hand to explain,
"There is a complicated process to open the vault. Even if I am the person in charge of the vault, I have no rights and need approval from my superiors because I only have the if.
Every time I open the vault, I need the password given by my superior and the key in my hand to open the vault. "
"That means you don't have the password?" the major asked, waving the pistol on his waist.
"Yes, the password to open the vault is constantly changing and is in the hands of the special commissioner. Every time, the special commissioner sent from the headquarters must cooperate with me to open the vault.
I'm not lying, really, I'm not lying to you. This is what the board of directors has stipulated. I'm just a part-time worker and can't influence the board of directors. "
When he saw the major taking out his pistol, he was so scared that his legs and feet became weak and he almost collapsed on the ground, fearing for his life.
"I won't kill you if you can answer the next question, otherwise!" the major gestured to the gun in his hand and asked.
"You ask, as long as I know, I will answer." When he heard that he could survive, the fat manager nodded quickly like a chicken drinking water. He didn't want to die.
As the person in charge of the treasury, the fat manager with an annual salary of millions is considered a wealthy person in Xiangjiang. Even if he loses his position as the person in charge of the treasury, he can still live comfortably and enjoy life for decades.
"How big is the vault inside? Is it bigger than the building above, as the legend says?" the major asked, holding the gun in his hand against the fat manager's head.
"No, absolutely not. When the treasury building was constructed, it was modeled on the underground treasury, and the entire underground treasury was included in it.
In many places, underground vaults overlap with the buildings above.
The fat manager quickly waved his hand and said, "If you don't believe it, you can go in and take a look. Although this vault door requires a password, it can still be broken if you have a computer expert, but it just takes time."
"It does take time." The major nodded and ordered through the intercom, "Start working. The underground vault is modeled on a building. We only need to dig close to the building."
"Dig close to the building. Do they want to dig a hole? The vault is more than ten meters deep. It will take a long time to dig a hole. Do you have that long?"
The fat manager was very confused, but when he took the elevator back to the ground and arrived at the parking lot, Manager Pang saw a strange machine using a huge drill to open the door of the cash transport truck behind the vault, about ten meters outward. Start drilling holes.
The huge drill bit made a huge sound when it came into contact with the cement pavement. It soon penetrated the cement layer and came into contact with the soil below.
"It's really making holes!"
Watching the drill bit continue to penetrate deeper, a hole more than one meter wide and two meters deep was soon formed. The fat manager held back and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Of course we entered the vault!" The major laughed a few times, waved his hand, and an M1A2 tank panted over.
First, drive up a small slope that has been prepared long ago, point the muzzle downward, and aim at the newly drilled hole at a 60-degree angle.
"They want to use tank guns to open the bank vault." Seeing the tanks about to fire, the fat manager quickly backed away with crazy thoughts in his mind.
"boom!"
Amidst the deafening sound of artillery, the 120mm armor-piercing projectile fired by the tank accurately penetrated the newly dug hole.
As the best tank in the world, the armor-piercing projectiles fired by the M1A2 can penetrate 70 centimeters of armor at a distance of 2,000 meters, and can penetrate the ground for several meters, not to mention its armor-piercing ability.
"Go on, fire two shots!"
After the shooting, a soldier stepped forward to see the shooting effect, turned his head and waved towards the tank, indicating to continue firing.
"Boom!"
Amidst the loud noise, two armor-piercing projectiles rushed out of the tank's muzzle and rushed into the hole that had become much larger due to the shelling.
"Very good, it's time to set off the explosives!"
The soldier who had just stepped forward continued to check the shooting effect with a flashlight and determined that the depth of the hole was more than ten meters. He turned around and made an OK gesture, indicating that the depth had reached the required level and that the next step could be taken.
Soon, an armored vehicle loaded with explosives arrived at the entrance of the cave.
Seven or eight soldiers came up quickly, unloaded the explosives from the vehicle and threw them into the hole. Soon nearly three tons of explosives were thrown in.
"Will this vault be strong?" It would take some time to throw the explosives. The major asked looking at the person in charge beside him.
"Yes!"
The fat manager wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "When the vault building was designed, the shelling and bombing during the war years were fully taken into consideration, and the whole structure was poured with steel bars and concrete.
It is very strong and can withstand the impact of ten tons of explosives. Even if the bomb explodes on top, as long as it is not a special ground-penetrating bomb, it will crack the wall a little at most.
"Ten tons, then I'm relieved. I'm also worried that too much explosives will be put in and the vault will collapse, which will be a bit troublesome." Hearing that the vault can withstand ten tons of explosives, the major nodded with satisfaction.
"He signaled to pull in another ton of explosives and throw them in, and at the same time told everyone to stay away. The impact of four tons of high explosives is no joke.
To put it bluntly, if there is an explosion, the surrounding buildings within two hundred meters will be damaged, and the glass within one kilometer will not be protected. Although people like myself are protected, they need to stand farther away to be safe.
"Major, the Eagle Army has been dispatched and will soon meet up with the people responsible for greeting the police!" Just as he took a few steps back, the major received the latest news.
"Now that you're here, don't go back. Tell the artillery to give them the warmest welcome." Because Lei Weidong hates the Eagle Army, he even has a bad impression of him when he retreats with the summoned clone army.
The major directly ordered the battle group artillery to bombard them and eliminate them on the way forward.
"clear!"
After receiving the order, the artillerymen immediately raised the muzzle of the howitzer, and at the same time released the drone to guide the artillery target in the air, aiming at the Eagle Army's advancing convoy.
The war between Da Mao and Er Mao made people all over the world realize the role of drones in war, and also knew the name of the company DJI.
However, the history of drones can be traced back to DJI.
As early as the 1980s, autonomous driving began to be put into use.
In the initial clean-up work of Mao Xiong's nuclear power plant accident, Mao Xiong invested in a remote-controlled robot to complete the clean-up work. However, due to excessive radiation, the electronic circuit of the remote-controlled robot failed and had to be handled manually.
To this end, a large number of troops were sent to complete the cleanup of nuclear radiation debris with fearlessness and without professional protective clothing.
If unmanned equipment had just appeared on the scene in the 1980s, it began to shine in the 1990s. As the most powerful U.S. military in the world, it is equipped with a large number of drones.
DJI's biggest contribution is the civilianization of drones, replacing expensive military chips with cheap civilian chips, allowing drones, a high-tech product, to enter thousands of households.
No longer a military-only product.

"How is the situation?" As the top officer of the army, the Colonel of the Eagle Army has much more combat experience than the police force.
The army is not a robber.
For robbers, a few hundred meters away from the front line is a safe zone, and a temporary headquarters can be designed.
Not so with the army.
In front of troops equipped with tanks and artillery, not to mention a few hundred meters or even a few kilometers are considered dangerous areas.
So when he was still five or six kilometers away from Kowloon Bay, the Colonel of the Eagle Army ordered to stop advancing and meet up with the police to confirm the information before continuing.
Faced with the colonel's request, the police force did not dare to neglect, and soon the deputy commissioner of the police came up with his men.
Colonel Yingjun had no dissatisfaction with the fact that the division chief did not come and the deputy division chief in charge of operations came instead.
Police Chief Cao Dahua was suppressed by Deputy Chief Guilao and the Governor because he helped Lei Weidong win many important positions in the police force. Colonel Yingjun also knew that he had to take sick leave.
The only headache is.
Even if the two deputy chiefs ousted Cao Dahua, they did not take over the power of the police force. When they ousted Cao Dahua, Lei Weidong also ousted the Operations Department.
Several major police districts in Xiangjiang.
West Kowloon and East Kowloon have become Lei Weidong's private territory. The New Territories and Hong Kong Island have also been crazily devoured by Lei Weidong, and the Marine Police are still under the control of the ghost.
Otherwise, facing the army equipped with tanks and artillery, Gui Lao could completely mobilize the Xiangjiang police force as cannon fodder to contain them. Unlike now, most police officers do not listen to orders, and many people go home directly from get off work.
The governor was forced to send out the Eagle Army as cannon fodder.
"The large force of robbers is still outside the Kowloon Bay vault, seemingly digging holes to enter the vault from the outside. In addition, they also sent a reinforced company into Central to bombard the HSBC Bank building.
Not only was half of the HSBC building destroyed, leaving only ruins, it also caused heavy losses to senior officials of HSBC. Even the chairman of the bank was killed in the gunfire. "
Deputy Director Gui Lao knew that he was finished. HSBC was the uncrowned king of Hong Kong and brought countless profits to his family every year.
Now not only has the treasury been robbed, but the chairman is also dead. There will definitely be a need for a scapegoat afterwards, and he is the most suitable one.
Because Cao Dahua didn't care about things, he became the top leader. In addition, Lei Weidong was not in Xiangjiang, so he couldn't blame Xiang, so he had to admit his bad luck.
I just hope that the Eagle Army stationed in Xiangjiang will be able to drive away the robbers entrenched in the vault as soon as possible. I can also commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. Even if I can't keep my black hat, I can escape unscathed.
I don't want to stay in Xiangjiang anymore, so it would be better to take the money and go back to Eagle Country for retirement.
"The chairman of HSBC is dead. It seems that things have gotten serious." Colonel Eagle Army paid a silent tribute to the chairman of HSBC in his heart, and at the same time he understood why the governor was so anxious.
It turns out that the God of Wealth is dead.
It's just that I only have armored vehicles and some anti-tank missiles at most. It's very difficult to keep the opponent with this little weapon. It seems that I just hope that the Gurkha infantry can use their fearless spirit to use the high-rise buildings in Xiangjiang to attack the opponent.
Just when the Colonel of the Eagle Army and the Deputy Director of Gui Lao were discussing how to let the Gurkha infantry use the anti-tank missiles in their hands to attack the robbers, a harsh sound suddenly came over.
"No, it's a shelling!"
Unlike the deputy chief of police who reacted slowly, the Eagle Army colonel knew that he was being targeted by artillery fire as soon as he heard the sound. With that rapid sound, it was obvious that the entire convoy was within the shooting range of the opponent.
Immediately, he jumped towards the roadside with a leap. The wisest way at this time was to leave the convoy and leave the convoy. If he was still on the road, God would bless him.
