While Ding San was busy, Xiao Feng watched from the side.
The series of incomprehensible data seed like heavenly script. After only a few minutes, his head began to ache faintly.
Unable to help, Xiao Feng decided to leave the basent, planning to return to Jinyue Garden first to arrange the afternoon's activities for Lao Ha and others, and perhaps grab a al.
The way to leave the villa area was, of course, still to climb over the wall.
Before getting into a taxi, Xiao Feng saw Ding Er carrying Yu Qiao, or rather Ding Lingling, struggling to co out through the glass door.
Returning to Jinyue Garden, he arrived just in ti for lunch.
Xiao Feng recounted his morning experience to everyone, causing many to gasp in surprise.
Lao Ha said while picking up a piece of braised pork, "Ding San treats his brother's daughter like his own, but the girl has her own father. This is a case of not knowing your place."
"I think the problem mostly lies with Ding Lingling. Ding San's conditions are excessive; she could totally refuse," Aspergillus oryzae pouted and said, "Not going to college won't starve you; isn't this courting trouble?"
At this, Lao Ha was displeased, frowning: "Would it kill you to not disagree with ?"
"What's your problem?" Aspergillus oryzae retorted, "You're allowed your opinion, but I can't say mine?"
With just a few words, they started arguing again.
Xiao Feng and others shook their heads and smiled; no wonder these two old bachelors aren't interested in finding partners, living together is livelier than a couple, they hurt each other daily but can't part.
This mode of interaction is much like an old married couple who've spent most of their lives together.
After lunch, Xiao Feng continued to arrange the afternoon tasks for Lao Ha and others, then took a taxi directly to Ding San's house.
Though the golden sphere hadn't played any significant role yet, Xiao Feng held high hopes for it and couldn't afford any mishaps.
Climbing over the wall into the villa area, Xiao Feng headed straight for Ding San's villa.
Arriving at the basent, he saw Ding San still busily working, his expression incredibly focused, seemingly unaware of Xiao Feng's entrance.
This situation continued for half an hour before Ding San finally slowed down, standing at the display screen to observe the data.
Xiao Feng approached and asked, "How's it going?"
Ding San was slightly startled, as if first noticing Xiao Feng had co in, then imdiately grabbed Xiao Feng's collar, asking excitedly, "Where did you find this sphere?"
Xiao Feng frowned and replied, "A friend gave it to ."
"Can you arrange a eting?" Ding San urgently pursued, gripping Xiao Feng's collar even tighter.
"Let go first, then talk, alright?"
"Oh, sorry, I lost my composure." Ding San apologized, calming down a bit, and said, "Right now, I can basically confirm that this sphere is of an extrely rare material.
Due to the limited findings, the industry hasn't accurately nad it, only a serial number, NKV-03421.
This material is ford in environnts that combine extre cold and heat.
For instance, the collision of volcanoes and glaciers."
"Ice and fire... two extres?" Xiao Feng twitched his lips twice, an evil thought creeping in his mind.
Ding San seed oblivious to the ambiguity in Xiao Feng's words, earnestly said, "This material holds imnse research value.
Therefore, I'd like you to contact the owner of this sphere.
If he can provide useful clues, I'm willing to trade all my assets!"
"We'll talk about that later." Xiao Feng waved his hand, changing the topic: "What I want to know is, what does this material do.
For example, what happens if it explodes when touched, or what happens if eaten, etc."
Ding San's eyes glinted with confusion, seemingly finding Xiao Feng's questions odd, he thought for a mont, then said, "Let check later; I haven't interacted with industry friends in two years.
Two years ago, our research on NKV-03421 was still in its initial stages; now perhaps there've been breakthroughs, or maybe not.
Additionally, I've discovered sothing significant!"
"Let's hear it." Xiao Feng instantly beca alert.
Ding San, in a tone full of amazent, said, "The surface of this sphere is engraved with ancient texts, looking like Sanskrit.
I'm planning to do a comprehensive scan; those texts should hold significant value."
Xiao Feng nodded slowly; the sphere's surface text was sothing he was also quite concerned about.
He placed the golden sphere on the scanning equipnt, Ding San greeted him and then left the basent.
When he returned, however, he appeared sowhat despondent.
"The special research on NKV-03421 only lasted half a year then stopped, leaving very little data.
It's known that this material can withstand thousands of Celsius degrees of heat, minus thousands of Celsius degrees of cold, even bullets can't effectively damage it.
In other words, I thought too simply; damaging this sphere is absolutely not sothing easily achievable."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, no longer worrying about this thing's safety.
As for the halt of the special research, it was nothing surprising.
This era's rapid technological developnt is true, yet there are far more mysterious fields awaiting exploration than we imagine.
And exploring these fields requires genuine investnt.
This is like a bottomless pit; throwing money in mightn't yield results, but withholding funds surely yields nothing.
Under such circumstances, priorities must be set, can't focus too far on the stars and sea, and neglect current living necessities.
"The scan should have results now." Ding San said, using a remote control to turn on the five-ter wide, one and a half ter high screen hanging on the wall.
Soon, the screen was filled with dense Sanskrit-like symbols.
Xiao Feng instantly exclaid in wonder, this tech is way more advanced than Brother Lei's microscope!
Taking out his phone, he shot twenty or so photos to capture all the content.
"I have another one, might as well scan it too." Xiao Feng took out another golden sphere.
Ding San, incredulous, said: "You actually have two!"
Despite his shock, he started pondering…
But before he could speak, Xiao Feng imdiately said, "Don't bother asking, they're not for sale at any price."
Ding San shook his head regretfully, placing the second golden sphere on the machine.
Xiao Feng held his phone, waiting to take pictures of the scanned content.
After a while, the text on the surfaces of both golden spheres was completely photographed.
Xiao Feng reminded, "I hope you'll keep this matter strictly confidential."
Ding San nodded in agreent, though he appeared sowhat lackluster.
Xiao Feng chuckled, saying, "No need to be too disappointed; there might be plenty of similar items in the future, then I'll still rely on you for testing."
"Are you serious?"
"Of course!"
Ding San laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, I promise not to charge a cent!"
Xiao Feng shifted his gaze from the other's face; although he appeared cheerful, he had no expression, which felt rather eerie.
