Roosevelt Island is located between Manhattan and Queens, and is connected to Long Island by the Queens Bridge. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Historically, it was once a federal penitentiary for felons. When the elevated rail trolley connecting Manhattan Island opened, the municipal public hospital replaced the federal penitentiary.

After decades of development, Roosevelt Island has become a major concentration of middle-income people in New York.

The two drove around the island and found nothing. At the southern end of the island is the Roosevelt Monument, the Municipal Hospital, and Goldwater Hospital, with a shopping district in the center, a residential area to the north, and the Queens Bridge, which connects Manhattan Island to Long Island, runs through the middle of the business district.

Although there are no skyscrapers on the island, there is nothing to see or do either.

Obviously, it's much easier to hide an underground experiment center here than it is on Manhattan Island. Because the transportation is more convenient and there are waterways, it is more suitable for secret projects.

The question is, is the experimental center on Roosevelt Island?

Liu Wei wasn't sure, after all, he didn't have much of a clue so far.

It wasn't until he drove away from Roosevelt Island that he suddenly discovered the problem.

"Cross the bridge and go straight along East 59th Street, it should be Central Park, right?"

Takeuchi Kotone was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You can also turn to First Street, turn left on East 62nd Street, and you will go to Columbia University." ”

"This school is famous, isn't it?"

"Columbia University is one of the best universities in the United States."

Liu Wei nodded thoughtfully and said, "The Yankees do have the ability to build such a large park on Manhattan Island, where every inch of land is valuable. ”

Takeuchi Kotone glanced at Liu Wei, probably not understanding what he meant.

"You've also seen the city plans and the drawings of the buildings." "Manhattan Island is an alluvial island with very soft soil, so the foundations of the high-rise buildings are deep. It was very difficult to set up an experimental center under these buildings. Imagine what it would be like if the experiment center was under Central Park. ”

"This ......"

"As long as the load-bearing structure is erected, no matter what you do underneath, it won't affect the vegetation on the ground, right?"

Kotone Takeuchi frowned.

"Besides, next to Columbia University."

"You mean, the researchers at the experimental center are all at Columbia University?"

"At least under this guise." Liu Wei glanced at Takeuchi Kotone and said, "The key is the transportation of materials, that is, the main entrance and exit of the underground experimental center. It is certainly not appropriate to set up a park, and there is no place in the university, so there must be a main tunnel to the outside world in the experimental center. To the west is New Jersey, and you have to pass through the Hudson River. To the east is Roosevelt Island, and if I had designed it, I would have set the exit on Roosevelt Island. ”

"However, we don't see the entrance to the tunnel on the island."

Liu Wei smiled and said, "We didn't go all over the island, at least not to Goldwater Hospital, maybe the entrance and exit of the tunnel are inside this hospital." ”

Kotone Takeuchi nodded thoughtfully.

Goldwater Hospital is also a municipal hospital, but instead of ordinary patients, it admits mentally ill people and some prisoners who have escaped justice because of mental problems. Compared to ordinary municipal hospitals, the level of security in this hospital is significantly higher.

"Let's go to Central Park, maybe we'll get something out of it."

Liu Wei said he would do it, and immediately drove to Central Park.

As an urban park, Central Park is free to enter, i.e. there are no walls and no place to sell tickets. Because it's past Christmas, the park is deserted. Except for a few children who build snowmen accompanied by their parents, only a few elderly people spread out in the park.

It can be said that Central Park is a postcard of New York.

This Manhattan park embodies the American concept of life, and no one would consider it the most prosperous place in the world compared to the high-rise buildings on the southern tip of the island. Only occasionally look into the distance, will you think of it. Not far away, is the most densely populated region in the world.

After driving around the park, Liu Wei and Takeuchi returned to their hotel in Lower Manhattan.

Although there was still not much to gain, Liu Wei basically confirmed his guess that if the "Future Soldier" experimental center was on Manhattan Island, it must be under Central Park.

Early the next morning, the two flew back to Las Vegas.

Dian Bin rushed to the airport ahead of schedule.

"I just received a message from Lao Li."

"Let's talk about getting in the car." Liu Wei saw it, it must be very important news, otherwise Dian Bin would not have hurried to the airport to pick him up.

After getting into the car, Liu Wei found that it was a member of the FOS Legion who was driving.

"See for yourself." Dian Bin handed over a handheld computer to Liu Wei, "I received it in the middle of the night last night, and Lao Li asked me to hand it over to you immediately." ”

Liu Wei quickly glanced at it, and then frowned.

It is really important information, related to the "Soldier of the Future" project.

During the construction of the Northwest Genetic Analysis Experimental Base, Li Tingxuan focused on screening the personnel of the Second Department to prevent spies from other countries from mixing in. Li Tingxuan was personally responsible for this matter, and it was when he was doing this that Li Tingxuan dug up a "mole" who had been lurking for nearly twenty years.

The arrest went very smoothly, and in exchange for his freedom, this person agreed to cooperate with the second department.

His boss behind the scenes is none other than the CIA's former deputy chief of operations, Ricker.

It can be said that if it weren't for the murder of Rickel and the failure of Lucas, who took over, to straighten out the spy network immediately, he would not have been exposed, and maybe he would have been mixed into the genetic experiment base.

According to his account, the CIA has been paying attention to the mainland's FOS program.

Although the FOS program had been in charge of the MSS before this, and the Military Intelligence Agency did not intervene, the CIA was not able to obtain much useful things, but after the FPF experimental base was destroyed and the experimental subjects fell into the hands of the CIA, the US authorities not only accelerated the progress of the "Future Soldier" project, but also increased the degree of attention to the FOS project, and obtained a lot of information related to the FOS project through various channels.

A large part of this is Xiong Hanwen's credit.

That is, it is very likely that the Yankees already knew that the FOS project had achieved stage success, that [***] experiments had been completed, and that significant progress had been made.

According to the information provided by this person, Li Tingxuan launched an operation.

There is only one purpose: to obtain information about the "Future Soldier" project.

Shortly after returning from Monaco, a "mole" lurking in the CIA made a major gain, and the CIA sent FPF's [***] test subjects to New York.

Interestingly, this "mole" was involved in the escort operation.

The destination is the same as Liu Wei guessed: Roosevelt Island.

After being transported to LaGuardia Airport, FPF's [***] test subject, Lyon, was not loaded into a car, but instead loaded onto a speedboat, which was then transported to Roosevelt Island by the personnel who came to pick him up.

That is, the experimental base of the "Future Soldier" is either on Roosevelt Island, or nearby!

What's more, several people who came to pick up the workers have completed the transformation.

In intelligence, this was especially emphasized by the "mole" of the Directorate of Military Intelligence. Those personnel were not ordinary people, and they were not only renovated, but also equipped with special weapons and equipment.

Clearly, the "Soldier of the Future" project has also made significant progress, and even has the ability to be retrofitted on a large scale.

Although Li Tingxuan did not mention the details, nor did he say how many "future soldiers" Yankees have transformed, one thing is certain, that is, there will be no shortage of "future soldiers" who have completed the transformation, and most of these people are in New York.

If that's the case, that's not a good thing.

Li Tingxuan was in a hurry to send the news over because he took this issue into account.

"What do you think?"

Dian Bin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Lao Li asked us to think twice, but there was no mention of terminating the action. It's just that we have to be prepared for a worse outcome, after all, it's much more difficult to deal with a group of 'Future Warriors' than against an ordinary army, and maybe it will be a problem. ”

"That is, you also think we should stop the operation?"

Dian Bin sighed and didn't say anything more.

"In any case, we are ready and we can't afford to lose our work because of a small difficulty." Liu Wei thought for a moment and said, "The biggest problem is that we don't know where the 'Future Soldiers' project has progressed, and how many 'Future Soldiers' have completed the transformation. You'll have to go to Switzerland, find Beard and ask in detail. If the Future Warrior Legion is relatively large and the transformation technology is relatively mature, we need to be prepared to improve the combat effectiveness of the Legion. ”

"Scaling up the redesign?"

Liu Wei nodded and said, "Select a group of FOS fighters from K1, let them accept and transform in advance, and then form a combat team with them as the core." ”

"In that case, the action will have to be delayed."

"No, re-transformation does not conflict with FOS transformation, and it is selected from among the FOS fighters who have already completed the transformation."

Dian Bin sighed and said, "I'll go to Switzerland later, first find out the size of the 'Future Warriors' legion, and then determine how many people need to be reinforced." ”

Liu Wei nodded and said, "I have to ask about the cost, so I can let Lao Zhou arrange it." ”

"Are you really going to go all the way to the end?"

"We've been planning this for more than half a year, and I don't want to go back in vain."

Seeing Liu Wei's resolute attitude, Dian Bin didn't say anything more.

After sending Liu Wei back to the "Pyramid Palace", Dian Bin returned to the airport and took a business plane to Switzerland.

Liu Wei did not delay, and immediately found Zhou Fen and mentioned the matter.

The biggest problem in expanding the scale of retransformation is funding. Although the funds for the formation of the FOS Corps were in place, the cost of rebuilding them was much higher.

It's a real problem to come up with billions of dollars in a short period of time.
