Chapter 169 The Crown of Nobody

Flapping his wings, Lao Bai grabbed Ron and took off again from the woods where no tourists entered. After circling the entire Liberty Island twice as before, he flew towards the top of the Statue of Liberty.

But this time the reaction of the tourists was a little different. It seemed that several tourists saw Ron in the old white claw and talked about it below.

However, Ron didn't have time to pay attention to the thoughts of the tourists below. He focused all his attention on the top of the Statue of Liberty. Not one appears on top of the Statue of Liberty!

"Gah!"

Circling and rising, Lao Bai soon came to the crown of the Statue of Liberty, which is the highest point except the torch - Lao Bai let out a hoarse cry, and then stopped on the crown.

[Don't stop here, fly around the crown! 】

The statue below him, which symbolizes American freedom and democracy, is made of copper. To be precise, it is made of internal steel frame structure wrapped with thick copper skin——Ron knocked on the blue copper skin under his body in the howling cold wind, conveying Express your own meaning.

So Lao Bai took off again, this time circling the head of the Statue of Liberty.

"..."

yes! It's great!
After only flying around, Ron, who was under the old white claw, couldn't help but shook the claw severely, and called himself in his heart.

Below the crown of the Statue of Liberty are 25 windows, each about a meter high, covered with clear glass, and inside is a small room.

Most importantly, just as Ron thought, there was no tourist in the glass window!

For a place of historical interest, this is not normal. Even if it is a difficult climb, some people will climb to the highest point, enjoying the double pleasure of being in the limelight and seeing all the mountains and small mountains.

So there is only one reason why there are no tourists-the crown part of the Statue of Liberty is forbidden to climb!

"Crack, crack, crack~"

After patting Lao Bai's paw three more times, Ron motioned Lao Bai to fly back to the grove on the ground—a plan had been born in Ron's mind, and it was time for the preliminary investigation!

…………

"What is in front of you now is the symbol of the United States. Its full name is [Statue of Liberty Bronze Statue National Monument], and its official name is [Liberty Shines the World]. It was designed by the famous French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi in Paris. It took more than ten years to manufacture, and it was a gift from France to the United States in commemoration of the American-French Alliance during the American War of Independence, and was listed as a world cultural heritage in [-], the Statue of Liberty..."

Shaking his hair, Ron quietly followed a wave of tourists. While listening to the tour guide's explanation, he pretended to be a tourist's pet and slipped into the pedestal hall under the Statue of Liberty.

Inside the pedestal hall is the American Immigration Museum, which houses a large number of cultural relics about immigrants, and there is a movie theater in the museum, which shows movies about the life of early immigrants in the United States for tourists.

But this is not Ron's goal, his goal is even more ambitious.

"From here, you can see the internal structure of the Statue of Liberty. You can see that there are many steel frames sprayed with white anti-rust paint, connected together by huge screws."

"In fact, the entire bronze statue is made of 120 tons of steel as the skeleton, 30 tons of copper sheets as the outer skin, assembled and fixed on the bracket with 220 rivets, and has a total weight of [-] tons..."

"The Statue of Liberty originally sold tickets to climb the crown, but since the [-]/[-] incident, the sale of tickets to the crown has stopped, and we have lost the opportunity to climb to the highest point of the Statue of Liberty..."

The tour guide was still explaining, many people were taking pictures, and the flashing lights were coming and going one after another in the dim pedestal—Ron carefully looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to him, and then rushed up the stairs leading to the crown.

"Cat cat~, cat cat~"

Ron didn't notice that the shining eyes of a five or six-year-old boy among the tourists followed him. Seeing Ron rushing up the stairs leading to the crown, the little guy followed quickly—even if there was a banner And the notice was placed on the stairs, but it didn't stop the little kid from walking.

…………

One grid, two grids, three grids...

There is an elevator from the Immigration Museum at the bottom of the pedestal to take the tenth floor, and then walk up a few steps to the top of the pedestal - there are two options here, one is to walk up to the observation deck of the pedestal, overlooking the so-called For the Manhattan Island of [Steel Babylon], another option is to step on the 170-level spiral steps until you reach the crown of the Statue of Liberty.

Of course, the second option is now closed to tourists.

"Hoo~, Hoo~, Hoo~"

Haven't arrived yet?
so far, so far~
I can't do it~
Climbing the stairs has always been Ron's nightmare. Back then, he only had to climb the three steps of Building No. [-] of the Orange County Police Headquarters. Ron used his strength. Now, he needs to climb the steps equivalent to a twelve-story building.

Fortunately, when the crown tickets were still allowed to be sold, for the convenience of tourists, some rest seats were set up every three sections of the spiral staircase for tourists who could not climb to the top in one go. These rest seats have now become Ron's life-saving straw.

"Hoo~, Hoo~, Hoo~"

Rest well~
keep going~
The space above is getting narrower and narrower, obviously slowly approaching the neck of the Statue of Liberty - then up is the nose of the Statue of Liberty, the towering bridge of the nose from the outside is a hollow enough for a person to sit on the inside. The trough, and further up, you can also see the ears of the Statue of Liberty.

"Hoo~, Hoo~, Hoo~"

finally reached!

After nearly 10 minutes of arduous trek, Ron finally arrived at the small room he was looking at from the outside. Unlike the copper skin that had oxidized and turned green on the outside, the interior of the steel frame structure links still maintains the true color of copper and yellow, full of history. a sense of heaviness.

"Whoo~"

Finally slowed down~
Panting for a while, Ron jumped on the window——through the bright window, you can overlook the invincible view of New York: Manhattan Island in the east is full of tall buildings; .

But at this moment, what Ron was happiest to see was that outside the transparent glass, the huge bald eagle, the fifth senior brother Lao Bai, was standing on the shoulder of the Statue of Liberty, looking up at him.

"Meow~"

Wait, I'll open the window right away~
The fifth senior brother outside the window naturally couldn't hear Ron's call, and couldn't understand the meaning of Ron's call, but Ron still called out habitually, and then flicked the claws vigorously, and opened the lock of the crown window—— As soon as a gap was opened, a savage gust of wind blew in through the gap, blowing Ron's head back.
