The young American woman representing the US Government asked, “Can this Position Locator still function, and what is its effective sending range?”

Professor Eddie said, “These Position Locators can operate inside the Gold Bricks for up to 50 years. Even if located 1,000 meters underground, they can still send out clear signals that allow us to locate them.”

Only then did the young woman express satisfaction and say, “Then there's no problem.”

A CIA representative was about to speak, but seeing everyone else letting out a sigh of relief, he suddenly fell silent and lapsed back into a state of dozy indifference.

So, the group stayed in the Underground Gold Vault waiting for news. As time slipped away, they didn't receive any signal from the Position Locators, but instead they were hit with disastrous news. Someone had been spreading rumors on the Internet that the gold from the New York Federal Reserve Bank Underground Gold Vault had been completely stolen.

No one knew how this person managed to spread this news around the world so quickly. The young American woman representing the US Government immediately reported the matter to the President, and upon receiving authorization from the President, adopted a forceful approach to extinguishing the information, demanding that all social media platforms around the world immediately and completely delete the message.

Under the strong suppression from the US President, Western countries closely allied with The United States quickly removed the message. However, the world isn't entirely controlled by the US Government; in Russia, China, and some other countries dissatisfied with America, the message wasn't deleted at all. Instead, they continually analyzed the message and questioned why the US Government was prohibiting the countries owning the gold from sending representatives to check on their gold's status, which seemed extremely unreasonable. Then they called on the US Government to agree to let the countries transfer their gold back domestically.

The sudden emergence of this message placed the US Government under immense pressure. However, they weren't too worried, as the Position Locators within the Gold Bricks were about to send back the location of the gold. Once the gold was recovered, the President would surely give those who doubted the US a harsh rebuttal.

Soon, 24 hours had passed since the gold mysteriously vanished, and while everyone waited expectantly, the receiving equipment didn't pick up any signals. Anxiety began to set in, but they had no choice but to keep waiting. After another 24 hours had passed, the supposed Position Locators still hadn't transmitted any signals. A realization dawned that this method might not be reliable after all, and their plans to swiftly recover the gold had ultimately failed.

However, Eddie immediately assured everyone that they had previously confirmed the positioning functions of these Position Locators. As long as the gold was still on Earth, unless it was situated more than 1,000 meters underground, theoretically, the US satellites could detect their signals and retrieve them. Now, the absence of a signal indicated only one thing–that the gold was located deeper than 1,000 meters or in an area with strong energy interference, blocking the Locator's signal.

Upon hearing Eddie's explanation, everyone felt somewhat helpless. It meant that regardless of the Position Locators' condition, using them to find the gold in a short time was impossible. They could only immediately report the situation here to their superiors and hope that their government would prepare a response soon.

If other countries in the world confirmed that the gold was indeed lost, then America's currency and international credibility would collapse, leading to a devastating domino effect on US bonds, the stock market, and financial markets. A misstep could cause the US economy to plummet significantly. But with preparation, the US might be able to gloss over the crisis using other methods…

The background has now been fully explained, and the next chapter will feature the long-anticipated Drone Upgrade. Please look forward to it!
