Chapter 157 The space merchant is here for a visit
basement.
In front of a table, Lu Ning and Mir each sat on chairs.
"Tell me in detail how you were bombed in the first place."
Lu Ning asked Mir.
"I used to be fine when I went into the bank, and I could take whatever I wanted. But that day I just emerged from the ground, and before I could be happy, an alarm suddenly sounded, and then there was a violent explosion in an instant."
When he mentioned the bombing, Mir's expression changed again.
There is lingering fear in my heart.
His arms and legs were directly blown off.
He didn't feel any pain at that time.
Passed out directly.
But after I escaped later, I was almost hurt to death.
Fortunately, it was probably due to the mutants, and his body slowly healed itself.
But it also took him more than a year.
He never wanted to experience being bombed a second time.
"So, you think this alarm device is specifically for mutants, and it is the same as the alarm device I just dismantled."
"That's right." Mir said with certainty.
Although Mir was so sure, Lu Ning didn't think so.
"This alarm device may not only protect against mutants. If ordinary people enter the vault, they may also be bombed." Lu Ning guessed.
Anyone who enters without permission will be bombed.
After all, the vault is a top priority, and anyone who comes in without formalities is equivalent to an intruder.
And those who come in with the necessary procedures will naturally not be bombed.
"Hmm~ It's possible." Mir thought for a while and nodded.
He felt that this was very likely the case.
Maybe he stole too frequently, so the bank increased the insurance.
After getting the confirmation, Lu Ning was already determined.
Even if he rashly enters the reserve vault, he will definitely be bombed.
If I don't want to get hurt, I'm afraid it's impossible to take away the gold.
But this was not a problem for Lu Ning.
The first thing he thought of was - electromagnetic pulse bomb.
An electromagnetic pulse bomb is a bomb that emits high-frequency electromagnetic waves of gamma rays.
When electromagnetic pulse energy diffuses in the air, circuits and wiring in electronic equipment will absorb these invisible energy waves like tentacles. Depending on the distance from the explosion site and the intensity of the electromagnetic pulse energy, the affected electronic equipment will
It can range from temporary paralysis to complete overload and destruction by huge energy.
The electromagnetic pulse bomb is enough to completely paralyze the underground command center in a short time.
The lights are out, the computer is shut down, and the phone signal is interrupted. No matter how sophisticated the alarm device is, it will be useless in front of it.
The principle of electromagnetic pulse bomb is not difficult at all for Lu Ning, but the difficulty is the material.
He first went back to Earth, dismantled a microwave oven at home, and then spent a few days using microwave transmitters and bombs to create a crude version of an electromagnetic pulse bomb.
A genuine electromagnetic pulse bomb is enough to paralyze an entire country's power system.
However, Lu Ning's simple copycat version can only cause the loss of electromagnetic signals within a radius of 500 meters.
"ok."
Although there is only a range of 500 meters, it is enough for Lu Ning.
After finishing the electromagnetic pulse bomb, Lu Ning set off alone.
He originally planned to take Mir with him, but just in case, he decided to go by himself.
----------
Federal Reserve Bank of the United States, located at 33 Liberty Avenue, Maryland.
Very easy to find.
25 meters deep underground, a gold treasure house.
In the gold treasure house, there are rows of golden gold.
Each shelf is more than one meter high and divided into four levels. Each level is filled with neatly piled gold.
There are always several hundred square meters in the treasure house. At a glance, there are neat and dense shelves.
On each shelf, there are piles of gold bricks, some with five layers and some with four layers.
Each gold brick has a standard weight of 12.5 kg.
Suddenly, an arm stretched out from the ground.
This arm naturally belongs to Lu Ning, and it also holds an electromagnetic pulse bomb in its hand.
With a throw of electromagnetic pulse bomb.
The arm immediately retracted to the ground.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion sounded in the gold storage room.
Bang bang.
The lit lamp exploded into pieces immediately, and the storage room became dark.
Some lines and alarm devices all lost signal.
The invisible electromagnetic pulse spreads violently to the surroundings with different blocking strengths.
A moment.
Within a radius of 500 meters, all street lights and house lights were turned off.
Vehicles driving on the road also stalled immediately.
The nearby factories and restaurants were even darker.
A man was talking on the phone, and suddenly the phone in his hand became hot.
"ah."
He immediately threw away the cell phone in his hand.
The mobile phone that fell on the ground emitted white smoke and exploded after a while.
The five hundred meters with the Federal Reserve Bank of America at the center fell into deathly silence.
Everyone here is in chaos.
Lu Ning could already guess what the chaos was like outside, but he was happily emerging from the ground at this time.
The dark storage room had no effect on him at all.
"That's a lot of gold."
He was also attracted by the golden gold here for the first time.
This was the first time he had seen so much gold.
It is simply to brighten people's eyes.
"I just accepted it."
Lu Ning smiled, then walked to a shelf and touched the bracelet to the gold.
Buzz.
The bracelet emits blue light.
Gold melts into liquid.
The layer of gold was quickly absorbed into the bracelet.
"good."
After absorbing one layer, Lu Ning moved the bracelet closer to the second layer.
In less than a minute, an entire layer of gold disappeared again.
Cool.
Lu Ning felt happy.
When Lu Ning was frantically absorbing gold, the outside world.
A group of armed guards are heading towards the storage room.
The police sergeant in charge breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the door had not been opened.
"You are responsible for guarding this place and not letting anyone in."
"yes!"
Ten minutes later, Lu Ning finally absorbed all the gold in the storage room.
"It's not even bright yet?"
He looked at the third blue crystal on the bracelet in astonishment and found that it still showed no signs of lighting up.
I didn't expect that after absorbing so much gold, it still didn't light up.
This made Lu Ning extremely surprised.
He thought he could at least open a few time and space gates this time.
"It seems that the energy dimension of the next time-space gate may be higher."
Lu Ning guessed.
Opening the Earth Star costs more gold than the Blue Star, so mutants appear.
Lu Ning has not seen any powerful mutants yet.
He couldn't imagine that this time the third gate of time and space could not be opened even after spending so much gold. How powerful the world behind it would be.
And then there will be a fourth, fifth or even seventh more powerful time and space gate.
A world stronger than the last.
Lu Ning was looking forward to it.
"Space merchant, come here for a visit!"
Lu Ning wrote this line of English text on a wall with his finger.
Then he happily disappeared underground.
After another ten minutes.
Communication with the outside world is restored.
Individual power supplies have resumed operation.
"Just in case, go to the gold storage room to check."
Only then did the superiors send instructions.
Immediately, a staff member entered the password into the electronic gate, and the gate opened.
After a few doors.
The staff took out the keys again and began to unlock the doors one by one.
During this period, I kept entering the password, which was extremely tedious.
The electronics were paralyzed just now, so even if they wanted to come in, they couldn't.
Even if it is violently demolished, it will not be as fast as the current time.
As the last door is opened.
People flocked in.
It was pitch dark in the storage room.
The environment inside can only be seen with a flashlight.
When everyone shined their flashlights, they were stunned.
The storage room that was originally filled with gold is now empty, with nothing left on the shelves.
Not a single piece of gold can be found.
"Oh! My God!"
"What the hell is going on here!"
The staff shouted.
He widened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.
Several staff members and guards began walking quickly around the storage room with flashlights.
Use a flashlight as you walk.
"No, no, it's all gone!"
They hope that the gold is hidden, and they hope to find some gold in any corner.
but none.
Not a single piece.
Everyone was stunned.
My heart was shrouded in fear.
This is thousands of tons of gold.
Not only their country's gold is stored here, but also gold from many other countries is stored here.
Now all the gold is gone.
They know in their hearts how big the impact this will be.
It could collapse the world economy.
"There are words here!"
Soon, a staff member saw the words Lu Ning left on a wall.
Several flashlights came in.
Light up all the words on the wall.
"Space merchant, travel everywhere!"
The words written are clear at a glance.
Space merchant!
It was him who did it!
Everyone was terrified.
Everyone's eyes widened.
The staff quickly reported the incident.
People from the police station intervened immediately.
The case of missing gold begins to be investigated.
Take photos and collect evidence.
Relevant personnel were questioned one by one.
The Maryland National Police is fully operational.
At this moment, a pinned post appeared on the Internet.
"This is the first step of sanctions against you."
Signed by Merchant of the Universe.
This post appears on all major networks in the United States, and even on the country’s official website, and is always pinned to the top.
The post also has a link to various investigative clues about the theft of stored gold.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The internet immediately exploded.
Stories about gold reserves being stolen began to spread on the Internet.
The space merchant has completely become the focus of the people.
"He's coming! He's starting to punish us! We will be destroyed!!"
Doomsday talk is widely spread.
For a time, people on earth and stars were panicked.
