Chapter 54 Different CC
CC successfully cracked the password door and she walked in first.

The big-faced cat dragged a can of acetylene and walked inside.

Lin Xian finally entered the bank warehouse.

"what?"

When I saw the shiny, brand new, mirror-like safes on the wall——

He immediately froze on the spot.

what happened?

How has it changed!

The safe I used when I came here before was obviously old, with paint peeling and rust all over it.

But now, it looks brand new as if it was just made!
He quickly approached the safe with his name on it and stroked its material...

Smooth and bright, cool and hard.

I rubbed it hard a few times with the spray gun tip, but not a single trace was left!
Boom!
Lin Xian punched the safe.

In my mind, I suddenly recalled what Professor Xu Yun said:

"By the way, during my research, I accidentally got a byproduct. I have sent it to my friends at the Aerospace Research Institute, and they have verified the same result."

"This is a hafnium compound, a completely new substance. This compound can be used to make a hafnium alloy that is hard, corrosion-resistant, and high-temperature-resistant, and 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 still 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 turned around with a puzzled look on their faces when they heard this:

"What was fooled?" "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, totally unable to understand what Lin Xian was saying.

But at this time, Lin Xian has already understood the reasons for this [change in time and space] and the [time and space butterfly effect].

【Changes in time and space are uncontrollable.】

Lin Xian suddenly realized this.

It is true that what he does can rewrite the future, but this change will not always have the positive feedback he wishes!
Sometimes, like now, you shoot yourself in the foot and turn a future that was originally favorable to you into a future that is disadvantageous to you!
This brand new safe in front of me.

There is no doubt that what he did 600 years ago caused changes 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 was definitely made of steel and was very old. The paint was almost peeling off and the inside was rusty. It was obvious that it was at least a hundred years old.

If it hadn't been for the usual care in storage and maintenance, and hadn't been exposed to wind and sun...it might have been called an unearthed cultural relic.

but.

Because of Lin Xian’s intervention in history.

This led to Professor Xu Yun discovering a new compound while studying the filling fluid of the hibernation chamber.

New hafnium alloy.

Lin Xian didn't understand 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 issued a special announcement was enough to show that the performance of this new hafnium alloy was indeed outstanding.

So it's understandable...

If the patent for this material is really made public for free, then in addition to aerospace, there should be some specific industries that can use this material.

and so.

When I saw the shiny, brand new safe in the bank warehouse...

Lin Xian immediately realized this terrifying logic.

A stone he accidentally threw into the sky 600 years ago fell down 600 years later and hit his foot accurately.

Although Lin Xian had never actually seen the hafnium alloy that Professor Xu Yun mentioned.

But the current situation was probably what he imagined.

only……

[Why did the new hafnium alloy alone cause changes in space and time, while the hibernation chamber filling fluid that was successfully researched at the same time did not cause corresponding changes in space and time? ]

where is the problem?

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop standing there! Bring me the spray gun!"

Big Face Cat had already dragged the oxygen cylinder in, picked up the spray gun and hose that Lin Xian threw on the ground, and started connecting 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 generate a temperature of 3000 degrees, enough to melt all metals?"

Lin Xian didn't know how to explain this:

"If it's to melt steel, then it's definitely 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's greater than 3000 degrees..."

Lin Xian scratched his head, feeling really uncomfortable at being teased.

Especially since I was fooled by myself.

What a coward.

call----

Over there, the big-faced cat had already connected the spray gun, lit the flame, and the spray gun began to spray out yellow flames.

The big-faced cat kept turning the pressure knob, gradually adjusting the flame to a sharp blue:
"I've seen this thing before. You have to adjust the flame to blue with a white flame core in the middle. Only when the temperature of the flame core can reach 3000 degrees can it cut steel at high temperature."

CC stopped talking to Lin Xian, took off his Ultraman mask, picked up a welding mask and covered his face with it.

The big-faced cat constantly adjusts the outgassing ratio of acetylene and oxygen.

The flames gradually became sharper as they shot out rapidly...

at last!

Inside the inner flame, a flame core only the size of a pencil appeared!

"Success!"

The big-faced cat chuckled, took the welding mask handed to him by CC, and put it on his eyes, so that he could look directly at the incandescent flame:
"Where do we start cutting?" CC pointed to the safe next to him:

"Let's start from here. I'm not sure what's in the safe. We'd better cut it little by little from the safe next to it."

"OK, stand further away."

The big-faced cat held up the sunshade in one hand and the spray gun in the other as he moved towards the safe nearby.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The oxyacetylene cutting torch, which was at a temperature of 3000 degrees Celsius, had the power of heaven and earth. The incandescent flame pressed against the outer shell of the safe.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The high temperature flame continues to burn.

The temperature of the entire space seemed to have risen by several degrees.

however……

The intense scene with flying iron flowers that Lin Xian saw in the video did not appear.

Everything is peaceful.

Only the whirring sound of the flame torch was burning the safe.

As time passed, Big Face Cat's hands became a little unsteady.

Curiously, he moved the spray gun away, took off his mask, and looked at the safe that was intact and had no reaction at all:

"Is there something wrong here?"

"Pooh!"

He spat directly onto the safe.

呲! !

The saliva instantly turned into steam under the high temperature and diffused in the air.

This shows that the temperature of the safe has been heated to 3000 degrees, but it is still far from its melting point, and there is not even any sign of melting!
"What kind of material is this!"

Big-faced cat exclaimed:
"The hull of a spaceship?!"

Lin Xian nodded silently:

"This may be one of the few things you guessed correctly... By the way, I want to ask, are the safes you usually come into contact with outside also so fire-resistant?"

"That's definitely not the case!" Big Face Cat was shocked:
"I've seen a lot of safes, but I've never seen one that's so fire-resistant!"

Lin Xian held his chin and thought...

It seems that the previous speculation is somewhat wrong. Even after the change of time and space, most safe deposit boxes will not use this kind of "spaceship shell grade" material, because it is completely unnecessary.

[Then what is so special about the safe in the bank warehouse? Why is it worth forging with such powerful materials? ]

Lin Xian didn't know the price of this new type of hafnium alloy, but now it seems that it is very expensive! Ordinary safes can't afford this material, so Big Face Cat and CC were also surprised.

……

CC ignored the two and grabbed the spray gun:
"let me."

then.

There was the sound of the flames heating up again.

But no matter how it burned, or how it changed its angle or position... the shiny silver safe remained motionless like an ancient artifact, without even the slightest change in color.

"This is so fucking weird!"

Big Face Cat angrily loaded his pistol, then found an angle where the bullet would not be rebounded and fired two shots at the other safes.

A closer look...

There is also not a single scratch, it is as smooth as before!

"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 of them realized it.

There is no hope.

……

"I'm 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 any complaints:

"It's not your fault."

"I can see that you also want to open this safe, but you just didn't succeed."

Lin Xian was quite surprised to hear CC say this.

He thought CC would glare at him and call him a liar like she did the last time... This was the first time she spoke to him so politely.

It seems that this time she has a higher "favorability" towards me.

Lin Xian took off the mask on his face and looked at CC:

"At present, there is no possibility of breaking into the safe by force. The only way is to guess the password correctly."

"There are many things I can't explain to you clearly, but I do know more than you, have more opportunities, and am closer to the correct answer."

"[So, CC, can we share intelligence?]"

Lin Xian walked forward and looked at CC:

"Our goal is the same, to open this safe."

"I can answer your previous question and tell you what kind of person Lin Xian is that I know. But conversely, after that..."

"[Can you tell me why you want to open this safe? Or any clues, information, or tips about the safe will do.]"

"Just give me some key hints and clues... maybe I can really guess the password!"

Under Lin Xian's gaze, CC slowly turned his head and stared at Lin Xian through the Ultraman mask.

After pausing for more than ten seconds...

at last.

She nodded:
"can."
