Chapter 54 Different CC
CC successfully cracked the password door.
She kicked the door open and walked in first.
Big-faced cat dragged a can of acetylene and walked inside.
Lin Xian finally entered the bank warehouse.
"Huh?"
When he saw the wall of safes that were shiny, new, and smooth like a mirror inside -
He was stunned.
What happened?
Why did it change!
The safes he came here before were obviously old, peeling, and rusty.
But now, they are brand new as if they were just made!
He quickly approached the safe with his name on it and touched its material...
Smooth and bright, cold and hard.
He scratched it hard with the head of the spray gun, but there was not a trace left!
Boom!
Lin Xian punched the safe.
In my mind, I suddenly recalled what Professor Xu Yun said:
"By the way, I accidentally got a byproduct during my research. I have sent it to my friends at the Institute of Aerospace Research and they have verified the same result."
"This is a hafnium compound, a brand new substance. This compound can be used to make a hafnium alloy with high hardness, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. It may be useful in the aerospace field."
"Lin Xian, if you don't mind... I want to publish the experimental data of this hafnium alloy. Although I don't know what its use is, it can promote the development of certain technologies."
Clang.
Lin Xian lowered his head and threw the mask and spray gun on the ground:
"We were fooled."
CC and Big Face Cat heard this and turned their heads in confusion:
"What were you fooled by?" "Who fooled you?"
Lin Xian raised his hand and pointed at the name tag on the safe:
"Lin Xian."
He shook his head and smiled helplessly:
"We were fooled by Lin Xian."
...
Big Face Cat and CC looked at each other and didn't understand what Lin Xian was talking about at all.
But Lin Xian had already understood the reasons for this [Space-Time Change] and [Space-Time Butterfly Effect].
[Space-Time Change is Uncontrollable. ]
Lin Xian suddenly realized this.
It is true that what he did can rewrite the future, but this change will not always have positive feedback as he wishes!
Sometimes, like now, he will shoot himself in the foot and rewrite the future that was originally beneficial to him into a future that is disadvantageous to him!
This brand new safe in front of him.
There is no doubt that it was because of what he did 600 years ago that caused the change in time and space.
Lin Xian is very sure...
The last few times I came to this bank warehouse, the safe embedded in the wall here was definitely made of steel and was very old. The paint surface was almost peeled off, and the inside was also rusty. It was at least a hundred years old.
If it hadn't been for the usual storage and maintenance, and hadn't experienced wind and sun... it might have been called an unearthed cultural relic.
But.
Because of Lin Xian's intervention in history.
Professor Xu Yun discovered a new compound when studying the filling fluid of the hibernation chamber-
a new hafnium alloy.
Lin Xian didn't know the specific properties of this alloy.
But Professor Xu Yun said that it has high hardness, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance, and can be used in the aerospace field... It must be an extremely advanced material.
And in the news reports a few days ago, the Longguo Aerospace Research Institute also confirmed that it had received samples from Xu Yun. The fact that the institute was specifically asked to issue an announcement is enough to show that the performance of this new hafnium alloy is indeed outstanding.
Then it is conceivable...
If the patent of this material is really made public for free, then all industries will use this new hafnium alloy material.
Naturally, this includes the manufacturers of safes and safe deposit boxes.
When he saw the shiny silver safe deposit box in the bank warehouse, which was as new as before...
Lin Xian instantly realized this terrifying logic.
He accidentally threw a stone into the sky 600 years ago, and it fell 600 years later and hit his foot accurately.
Although Lin Xian has never really seen the hafnium alloy that Professor Xu Yun said.
But the situation in front of him is probably as he thought.
It's just...
[Why did only the new hafnium alloy cause time and space changes, but the hibernation chamber filling fluid that was successfully researched at the same time did not cause corresponding time and space changes? 】
Where is the problem?
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't stand there stupidly! Bring the spray gun!"
Big Face Cat has dragged the oxygen cylinder in, picked up the spray gun and hose that Lin Xian threw on the ground, and started to connect them.
CC was also confused and approached Lin Xian:
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't you just swear that... this high-temperature cutting gun can produce a temperature of 3000 degrees, enough to melt all metals?"
Lin Xian didn't know how to explain this:
"If it is to melt steel, it must be possible. The melting point of steel is only 1500 degrees. But I'm not sure what the melting point of this material is. If it is greater than 3000 degrees..."
Lin Xian scratched his head and felt that this feeling of being fooled was really unpleasant.
Especially being fooled by himself.
Really cowardly.
Huh————
Over there, the big-faced cat has connected the spray gun, ignited the flame, and the spray gun began to spray yellow flames.
The big-faced cat kept turning the pressure knob, gradually adjusting the flame to a sharp blue:
"I have seen this thing before. The flame must be adjusted to blue with a white flame core in the middle. Only when the temperature of the flame core can reach 3000 degrees can steel be cut at high temperatures."
CC stopped talking to Lin Xian, took off his Ultraman mask, picked up a welding mask and covered his face.
The big-faced cat constantly adjusts the gas output ratio of acetylene and oxygen.
The flames gradually became sharper while spraying rapidly...
finally!
Inside the inner flame, a flame core the size of a pencil appeared!
"Success!"
The big-faced cat chuckled, took the welding mask handed over by CC, and put it over his eyes, so that he could look directly into the incandescent heart of the flame:
“Where do we start cutting?”
CC pointed to the safe next to her:
"Let's start from here. I'm not sure what's in the safe. Don't accidentally burn it. We'd better cut through the safe next to it bit by bit."
"OK, please stand further away."
The big-faced cat held up the light-shielding mask with one hand, and held the spray gun steadily with the other hand as it moved toward the safe next to it——
Huhhhhhhh!
The oxyacetylene gas cutting gun with a temperature of up to 3000 degrees Celsius takes over the power of heaven and earth. The incandescent flame pressed against the outer shell of the safe.
Huhhhhhhh!
The high-temperature flame keeps burning.
The temperature of the entire space seemed to have increased several degrees.
However……
The intense scene of flying iron flowers that Lin Xian saw in the video did not appear.
Everything is peaceful.
Only the whirring flame gun burned the safe.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the big-faced cat's hand became a little unsteady.
He curiously removed the spray gun, took off the mask, and looked at the safe that was intact and didn't even react at all:
"What...is there something wrong with this?"
"Pooh!"
He spat directly on the safe.
Bah! !
The saliva instantly turned into steam under the high temperature and dispersed in the air.
This shows that the temperature of the safe has been burned to 3000 degrees, but it is still far from its melting point, and there is not even a sign of melting!
"What kind of material is this!"
The big-faced cat exclaimed:
"The shell of a spaceship!?"
Lin Xian nodded silently:
"This may be one of the few things you guessed correctly... By the way, I would like to ask, are the safes you usually come into contact with outside also so resistant to burning?"
"That's definitely not the case!" The big-faced cat looked shocked:
"I've seen a lot of safes and the like, but I've never seen one so resistant to burning!"
Lin Xian held his chin and thought...
It seems that there is something wrong with the speculation just now. Even after time and space change, most safes and safes will not use this "spaceship shell level" material, because it is completely unnecessary.
[Then what is so special about the safe in the bank warehouse? Is it worth forging with such powerful materials? 】
Lin Xian didn't know the price of this new hafnium alloy, but looking at it now, I'm afraid it's expensive! Ordinary safes simply couldn't afford this kind of material, so Big-faced Cat and CC were also surprised.
…
CC ignored the two of them and grabbed the spray gun:
"let me."
then.
There was another sound of the roaring flames heating up.
But no matter how it burned, how it changed its angle... the shiny silver safe remained as motionless as an ancient artifact, without even the slightest subtle change in color.
"It's so evil!"
The big-faced cat angrily loaded the gun, then found an angle where it wouldn't be bounced, and fired two shots at other safes.
Take a closer look...
There is also no scratch at all, it is as smooth as ever!
"This thing is too hard!"
Clang.
CC threw away the spray gun and mask in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed.
All three realized it.
There is no hope.
…
"Sorry, I apologize to both of you."
Lin Xian took the initiative to admit his mistake:
"It was my fault."
However……
CC shook his head and looked at Lin Xian without complaint:
"It's not your fault."
"I can see that you also wanted to open this safe, but you just didn't succeed."
Lin Xian was surprised to hear CC say this.
He thought CC would be like the previous times, glaring angrily and calling him a liar... This was the first time she spoke to him so politely.
It seems that this time she has a higher "favorability" towards herself.
Lin Xian took off the mask on his face and looked at CC:
"At present, there is no possibility of violently destroying the safe. The only way is to guess the correct password."
"I can't explain many things to you clearly, but I do know more than you, have more opportunities, and am closer to the right answer."
"[So, CC, can we share some information?]"
Lin Xian stepped forward and looked at CC:
"Our purpose is the same, to open this safe."
"I can answer your previous question and tell you what kind of person I know Lin Xian is. But on the other hand, after that..."
"[Can you tell me the reason why you want to open this safe? Or any clues, information, or tips about the safe.]"
"Just give me some key hints and clues... maybe, I can really guess the password!"
Under Lin Xian's gaze, CC slowly turned her head and stared at Lin Xian through the Ultraman mask.
After pausing for more than ten seconds...
Finally.
She nodded:
"Okay."
