(Extra with Monthly Votes!)_5 “I won’t bother explaining the principle to you, but anyway, this metal detector can only detect metals that have a smooth surface, no rust, and intact structure.”
“For this journey, I came prepared.
That Hafnium alloy material withstands high temperatures and corrosion and will never rust.
With this detector, every detection is accurate!”
“What if it’s a stainless steel basin?”
Lin Xian asked seriously:
“Could a stainless steel basin be detected?”
Wei Shengjin shook his head and smiled:
“Lin Xian, stainless steel isn’t absolutely rustproof.
Even the best stainless steel can’t withstand outdoor conditions for decades without rusting.
And considering that 200 years have passed, the stainless steel would have completely rusted away.”
“If you’re suggesting it’s newly manufactured stainless steel...
...
that’s even more far-fetched.
On this abandoned Earth, the industrial level is almost non-existent; it’s absolutely impossible to produce stainless steel material.
I can responsibly say… there’s no way any piece of stainless steel exists on this planet now.”
Seriously!
Lin Xian couldn’t help but give Wei Shengjin a thumbs up:
“Nice one, Uncle Wei, you really came well-prepared!”
“Alright Lin Xian, take the folding spade out of your backpack.
Let’s dig together and see if it’s really a Hafnium alloy safe!”
Having explored for two months, this being their first find, Uncle Wei Shengjin was clearly excited, rolling up his sleeves to dig.
It didn’t matter whether the Hafnium alloy safe below was his; finding one meant there was hope!
If they could find the first, they could find a second!
Lin Xian took out two folding spades from his backpack, which looked very high-quality and were sturdier than expected once unfolded.
This thing… After so many tactical contests, he was truly sick of seeing it; he’d recognize it even if it turned to ash.
Success was in sight.
The two didn’t even bother wiping their sweat, doubling their speed, clack clack clack furiously digging, and finally stood the centuries-old, shiny Hafnium alloy safe upright!
Dropping their spades, they immediately rushed over to look at the plaque on the front—
ID: 1277
Name: Pang Ya
For a moment, two sighs.
“Damn… this safe is numbered 1277.”
Lin Xian commented:
“Tem Bank really has grown strong.”
He turned his head, looking at Wei Shengjin who was slumping on the ground:
“Uncle Wei, when you deposited safes, how high did the numbers go?
Ah… sorry, I forgot you had amnesia.”
Wei Shengjin had said that after his hibernation, he remembered nothing about his past, naturally not recalling anything about when he used to deposit safes, let alone the meaning of the date 23730907, or why he had set it.
Lin Xian idly twirled the eight dials on the safe’s lock, purely out of boredom to give it a try.
Not to say it outright, but the quality of this safe was indeed top-notch, deserving of its Hafnium alloy make, the password dials still as smooth and crisp as ever.
After trying several random combinations and pressing the lock latch, failing to open it, Lin Xian gave up and turned to console:
“It’s okay, Uncle Wei, although we spent so much effort digging out a safe that’s neither yours nor mine… that’s not necessarily a bad thing.”
“Think about it, you’ve been searching here for two months without finding one, which could mean that Tem Bank might not at all be in this forest.
Donghai City is so large...
you might not have a grasp of how big a city on Mars can be, but Donghai covers more than 6000 square kilometers.
At this scanning speed, it wouldn’t take two years but twenty to scan it all.”
“Now that’s good, you’ve found the core area directly.
Since we could find the first safe, there must be a second, a third...
and possibly, we are right at the site of the former Tem Bank.
You should be happy about that.”
