"This is the key we're looking for?" Looking at the glittering golden gear set that was finally assembled, Joan moved the gear with her hand, only to find that the gear didn't turn.
"That's right, this is the cam set that stores the core information. All these things are fixed together, because only this can record all the information needed."
Liang En put the copper gear set, which was not light overall, in a box, and then explained the current situation to Joan of Arc.
"So if there is no accident, as long as this set of things is put in that robot, the robot will tell us all the hidden information of this thing."
More than an hour later, Liang En came to the museum where the robot was placed. Because they had made an appointment before, they came to the warehouse smoothly and saw a replica.
"This imitation is made exactly like the robot placed outside." The staff who brought them introduced them to the skeleton robot placed on the table.
The reason why it is called a skeleton robot is because this robot does not have those gorgeous clothes on its body, nor does it have a head and hands made of painted wood, only some mechanical structures that are left out.
"This seems to be a little different from what I thought before." Looking at the robot shining with silver light, Liang En showed a slightly embarrassed smile. "I thought the gear combination we brought would be used on the robot up front."
"No way, that thing is hundreds of years old after all, so for the safety of antiques, this thing of yours is not suitable for appearing on that robot." The staff explained in a low voice.
"But you can rest assured that this machine is a 1:1 imitation of the old robot outside. These have also been tested with the original cam combination. It is no different from the robot outside."
Liang En expressed his understanding of the museum's caution. After all, the robot outside was an antique made by famous experts hundreds of years ago. It would be troublesome if it accidentally broke during the experiment.
After carefully assembling the gear to the robot and winding it up, the robot's arm moved quickly and began to write on the prepared note.
"Switzerland, Longao Bank," Liang En began to record the words as letters appeared one by one. "713, 97261. Last signed by Josepha."
"It seems that this should be a bank withdrawal certificate." Because he had seen similar things before, Liang En quickly recognized what it was. "As for the signature at the back, it should be one of the certificates."
The last text is not like ordinary text, but like a traditional signature. This kind of thing is often a variant text, which is used as a code in some institutions.
Especially in the era when ancient computers and network systems did not exist, how is this thing used by organizations to determine the identities of those who come to fetch things?
"Can you tell who these things come from?" Jeanne leaned forward and asked, "The name Josepha is actually a very religious name, and it is usually only given to you by traditional Catholic families. This is the name of the child."
"I can't see that, as you said, this name actually belongs to a common name in the Catholic world. With this name alone, we have no way to confirm other than confirming that this person is a woman."
Liang En looked at the last name and shook his head. Although this name is more common in German, the problem is that this judgment is not absolute, and there are many people with this name in other countries.
Considering that this kind of robot in ancient times was basically a treasure treasured by dignitaries, Liang En also specifically used this word as a keyword to search on the Internet.
As a result, after inquiring, he found a Shinra queen named Josepha. Unfortunately, this robot was not manufactured when the queen died, so it should have nothing to do with her.
Of course, Liang En also asked the staff here about the experience of this robot, but the staff told him that this thing had been circulated in several courts, so it was impossible to determine the origin of this robot.
"That is to say, we will eventually have to go to that bank to find out what happened. Right?" After asking around, Joan who was walking out of the museum said to Liang En who was standing on the steps.
"That's right, fortunately that bank is in Geneva, so we'll just go there to take a look. I hope the bank can still keep such an ancient record."
Liang En didn't have much hope for the bank to keep these ancient records. After all, this gear set had a long history, so even if the bank still existed, Liang En didn't think the other party would be able to honor it.
But no matter what, since all the evidence has pointed to the Longao Bank, Liang En has to go there even in order to draw a final conclusion to his work that has been tossing for so long.
Liang En and the others' destination is a private bank called Lombard Audier Darrier Hench Bank. Different from ordinary banks, private banks are aimed at high-net-worth individuals and provide them with services such as property investment and management. financial institutions.
Private banking originated in Geneva, Switzerland in the 16th century. At that time, the religious wars that swept across Europe forced some nobles to be deported for various reasons, so they brought their capital to Geneva, where the political situation was stable and the religion was free.
But even if you leave your own country.This group of nobles still has close ties with the powerful classes in other European countries.Swiss banks thus serviced the royal families of several countries and financed their trade.
The private banking business in the true sense has also grown rapidly.Some of these expelled nobles became the first generation of Swiss private bankers and laid the foundation for today's private banks.
These banks are often not large in scale, such as the Lombard Odiye Darier Hench Bank they are going to. The account of 1700 billion US dollars has only 24 offices around the world, which can be said to be very low-key.
At the same time, unlike ordinary private banks, Longao Daheng adopts an unlimited liability partnership system. The eight partners bear unlimited joint and several liabilities to Longao Daheng. If the bank fails one day, the partners will use all their assets to repay the client loss.
At the same time, the partners of Longao Bank are also hereditary, so in this case, they are also very cautious in controlling their customers.For example, they will do very strict due diligence on customers.
Not only do you need to know where your clients' funds are coming from and related information, but also how they make their money.So far, Longaodahen Bank has continued such a tradition.
That is, the acceptance of every new client requires the consent of all partners.If a partner believes that the client's profile is insufficient or the investment style is inconsistent, the client may eventually be rejected.
"It's a strange bank, but then again, if it is such a bank, then this thing that was hundreds of years ago may really still be kept in it."
After listening to Liang En briefly explaining the situation of the bank in the car, Joan nodded with a serious face, and at the same time showed an expression of admiration. "I'm getting more and more confident about our operation."
