"Just in time?" Looking at Mike Colt's expression, Li Huailin had a bad feeling. He seemed to have said the same thing the last time, and then he was thrown to the far north. And now he's here again? Li Huailin suddenly felt that it was unreliable to find this guy.
"Yes, Duke." Colt seemed to have noticed Li Huailin's suspicious expression. "Please rest assured, I will definitely not take out any test equipment for you to use this time."
"So, damn it, that thing last time was really a test item?" Li Huailin couldn't help but ask.
"Sir, please spare my life. Although that thing was a test item, it was also a perfect theoretical demonstration. There was just a small accident …" Colt also realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, so he quickly added.
"Okay, okay, it's already in the past. I can't be bothered to argue with you." Li Huailin also waved his hand. The trauma left by the last time was too deep, and it made him nervous. "It's really not a test item this time, right?"
"Absolutely. I've already let my younger brother use it," Kurt said immediately.
"Your brother? The one who disappeared last time? "Li Huailin asked.
"No, it's the other one. The previous one hasn't healed because of the psychological trauma. Now, he has returned to his hometown to farm," Colt said with a smile.
Li Huailin: "…"
"Duke, it's not because of me. The problem with my lava diving suit last time was clearly because my stupid brother miscalculated the return time, causing him to be trapped in that place due to insufficient fuel. It's definitely not a problem with my equipment. You have to believe me." Colt said immediately when he saw Li Huailin's suspicious expression.
"Okay, okay, don't explain. Hurry up and show me the real thing first, okay?" Li Huailin was also confused about this matter. Isn't it just a submarine? Even if it explodes directly, can it kill me? Even if it explodes underwater, I won't drown to death. Then, I really have nothing to be afraid of … probably.
"Of course, I'm always ready." Kurt immediately became excited when he heard this. Then, he immediately brought Li Huailin to the backyard. Yes, it was the same laboratory that he had brought Li Huailin to last time. It was the same place, the same smell, and the place was chaotic. There was no change at all.
After walking into the laboratory, Li Huailin saw the portal that had thrown him to the distant north. Upon seeing the look in Li Huailin's eyes, Kurt felt a little embarrassed. He was also worried that Li Huailin would settle scores with him after seeing this thing, so he quickly covered it with a piece of cloth.
"Let me tell you, if there's another problem with the item this time, I'll let you teleport up there," Li Huailin said as he pointed at the teleportation device.
"Oh, of course, no problem. I'm very confident this time." Kurt didn't know if he was really confident, but he made a guarantee anyway.
Then, Li Huailin saw the thing that Kurt made a guarantee with — a huge safe. Li Huailin didn't react at first, but then, he confirmed it and looked carefully. Yes, no matter how he looked at it, it was a safe.
"Your Excellency, this is my most satisfactory work, the Seluco-3, specially used for underwater work … Wait, Your Excellency, where are you taking me?" Before Kurt could finish speaking, Li Huailin pulled him directly in the direction of the teleportation device next to him.
"No, Your Excellency, I'm not joking. Don't be fooled by the outer appearance of this thing …"
"What do you mean by the outer appearance? This is a f * cking safe, okay? Safe, okay? "Li Huailin shouted directly.
"No, Your Excellency, this is not a safe. This is the Seluco-3. Look, it's completely different, okay?" Kurt said with a little excitement.
"Tell me which part of this doesn't look like a safe. Look at the square shape, look at the steel plate, and isn't there a password lock in front? Tell me which part doesn't look like it? " Li Huailin couldn't help but say. Yes, this thing in front of him was a complete copy of the shape of a safe. Even the password lock on it was there. "Don't tell me you want me to stay in this thing and go underwater."
"This … Your Excellency, now that you mention it, I really think it's a bit like a safe." Kurt suddenly looked at his work and said as if he had just recognized it.
"…" Li Huailin looked at Kurt directly and didn't speak.
"But … but, although it looks like it, I can guarantee that its function is still for underwater work. It's definitely not a safe!" Kurt said immediately.
"Really?" Li Huailin simply watched him talk.
"Yes, Your Excellency. Look at this machine. It's all made of iron. It's very heavy, and it goes underwater very fast." Kurt pointed to the box and said.
"And? You've never thought of floating up?" Li Huailin asked.
"Look at the bottom of the machine. There's a buoyancy magic array. Once you want to float up, you can just activate it. However, with our current technology, you can only float up once. If you want to do it a second time, you'll have to recharge the magic array," Kurt said immediately.
"Oh?" Li Huailin really didn't think that this thing could really float up. He looked at the bottom of the machine and saw that there were indeed some patterns on it. (This thing is currently suspended.)
"Look, Your Excellency. This machine also comes with a metal detector. It can detect metals within a 500-yard radius. As long as there's metal around, this machine will be able to detect it. This function is specially made for underwater treasure hunting," Kurt hurriedly explained when he saw that Li Huailin seemed to be listening to him.
"Oh, what's the accuracy of this metal detector? Can it detect metals the size of a bracelet?" Li Huailin asked.
"This … should be possible," Kurt said after giving the matter some thought.
"Why do you sound so uncertain?" Li Huailin immediately asked.
"Uh … it definitely can. Rest assured, Your Excellency," Kurt immediately corrected himself.
"Are you sure this thing can work? You should know that I haven't seen any windows or anything like that. How am I supposed to observe the outside once I'm inside? "Li Huailin asked.
"Oh, there's no need to observe the outside." Kurt waved his hand. "I've tried it. No transparent material can resist the pressure underwater. So, there's no way around it. It really can't observe the outside."
"…" Li Huailin facepalmed. He knew that the game's production level was probably too low to produce things like tempered glass. "Then, how do I operate this thing? Can I only control the direction and let it fly around?"
"Rest assured, Your Excellency." Speaking of this, Kurt became excited again. "After many experiments, I've turned this thing into a fully automatic prop. It can automatically search for the surrounding metal and then push in the direction of the metal. Then, when it pushes in the vicinity, this thing can suck up the things below. Sir, please take a look. There's a storage device below this machine. It can store about 100 cubic meters of things (similar to a storage ring). So, all you have to do is suck everything back at once and then slowly sort them. If there's no metal around, it will automatically move forward. What do you think of this design? "
"Your design is really reasonable …" Li Huailin facepalmed. "Then, if it's fully automatic, why do we still need people to go in? Can't we just throw it into the water and let it find things on its own? "
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. Although this thing is said to search for things automatically, it consumes too much energy. However, the automatic fueling device is a little complicated, so we have to let people add fuel to it at any time …" Kurt said.
"Motherf * cker, are you kidding me? It's so smart to search for things and have to be manually added to the fuel. Just tell me that I'm shoveling coal inside, right?" Li Huailin facepalmed.
"Your Excellency, the fuel we're using is spotted ore …"
"Alright, alright, I don't care what you're burning." Li Huailin facepalmed. "Anyway, tell me how to operate it first …"
"Sir, you agree to give it a try?" Kurt asked happily.
"I'm asking you if you have something more reliable?" Li Huailin asked.
"This is the most advanced one," Kurt said immediately.
"So, do I have a choice?" Li Huailin could only nod.
So, Kurt immediately instructed Li Huailin on how to operate this thing. Of course, the operation was very simple. All he had to do was throw fuel into something that looked like a boiler. Then, he heard that there was no need to do anything and the thing would be sucked up. Then, Kurt emphasized the things that Li Huailin needed to pay attention to. First of all, this machine could operate underwater for about an hour. After that, it would run out of fuel. So, he asked Li Huailin to start the floating device when the time was right.
"Second, you can't add too much fuel, or it will explode," Kurt said. "But you can't add too little either. If the boiler is left empty for a long time, the water vapor inside will evaporate. Then, it won't be able to start. Once it's started, it will explode immediately."
"…" Li Huailin stared at Kurt without saying a word.
"But don't worry, Your Excellency. As long as you add the fuel according to the amount I said, it won't explode … probably …"
"Why do you have to add 'probably' at the end? How uncertain are you? What happened to your promise? This thing is f * cking exploding at every turn. Can you really play with it? "Li Huailin could not help but say.
"It'll definitely be fine." Kurt changed his words again. "Please don't worry, Your Excellency, don't worry …"
Although he was very hesitant, Li Huailin finally agreed. He thought that no matter what, he should try this thing first. The worst outcome would be an explosion. It seemed like he was not that afraid … After raising a flag for himself, Li Huailin nodded in agreement.
