Chapter 009: Transdimensional Delivery
Immediately after, he arrived at the entrance of the cave. Ignoring the intense midday sun, he followed the instructions given by Cao Hongbin and frantically began to dig underground with a small hoe, constantly murmuring to himself: "It must be there! Do not let me down, it must be there."
I see no issue, as long as we maintain communication between us, theoretically there should be no problem. Cao Hongbin made the final decision.
Cao Hongbin laughed heartily: "Hahaha, no matter how much gold and silver there is, in this apocalyptic world, a bottle of anti-radiation serum is probably worth more. There are many gold shops in the ruins of the city, and I just happen to be going back to collect some items, so I can help you get some gold and silver. However, you must be careful of the crime of possessing wealth; without the corresponding identity and status, exposing a large amount of money will only bring you trouble."
After just a few minutes, he walked back to the cave, wiping the sweat from his brow, feeling quite satisfied with his harvest
Found it? I actually found it...
Cao Hongbin laughed heartily: "Of course it is two volumes. Given my physical strength, wearing a heavy radiation protection suit to bury things here and there is too laborious, so I was just thinking that if it can be resolved in one go, I would never do it twice. However, you can rest assured that before burying the manuscripts, I will keep them in the form of photos on my phone. Additionally, I was just thinking that I need to confirm whether our time flow rates are consistent, so I am preparing to give you a precise mechanical watch."
A somewhat disoriented whisper came from the phone, followed by a shout: "I still need to confirm, quickly charge the phone, and then call me on the new phone. No, I will call you."
Every detail is so perfect that he cannot help but exclaim: "The craftsmanship of the old era is beyond imagination. In our village, there are people who understand rudimentary mechanics. Two years ago, we built a large clock, very big and very heavy, which is also powered by flowing water. If they were to see this clock, they would surely feel utterly ashamed."
The top of the stone cave where Zhou Lie resides has artificially carved holes, allowing sunlight to penetrate during the day, thus ensuring that the solar charging panels have ample opportunity to be utilized
Inside the box lay a very beautiful mobile phone, featuring a cobalt blue shell, exuding an indescribable beauty characteristic of this era. It lay there quietly, having waited for over seven hundred years.
It is not a problem, I have various solar charging panels here. You specify the location, and I will install a few for you.
Charging?" Zhou Lie looked somewhat troubled as he glanced at the stone table and said to Cao Hongbin, "Brother Cao, the device I use for charging has been unreliable lately; it has broken down again these past couple of days.
Zhou Lie pondered for a while and asked somewhat uncertainly: "It sounds quite interesting. How about I go out and randomly find a place to dig, and then come back to inform Brother Cao of the location? What do you think?"
The newly excavated mobile phone performs well, and after powering on, it quickly connects the past and present, making its first cross-temporal call.
He dug very quickly, and in no time at all, he had excavated a one-meter deep pit
After a while, Zhou Lie finally reacted and picked up his original phone to call Cao Hongbin
Indeed, this is true! Hahaha... Brother Cao Hongbin sent me a mobile phone, and we are connected across seven hundred years...
Is this even possible? Zhou Lie scratched his head. If it were him, he would definitely retrieve the item. Isn't it just about digging a pit and climbing up? The young man is most abundant in strength.
Zhou Lie picked up the watch and examined it closely, noticing the tranquil sheen reflected by the blue metallic bezel of the dial, beneath the transparent face lay a world of numbers and hands
The next important moment has begun, which is particularly significant for Cao Hongbin
If there are any requirements, Brother Cao, please feel free to mention them. Zhou Lie sincerely wanted to express his gratitude to Cao Hongbin
After a moment, Cao Hongbin continued, "I will bury Old Dong's manuscript for you shortly, and then we will conduct another experiment. I have not buried the manuscript yet, but I have a strong desire to do so, and I will certainly take action afterward. Now, let us agree on a location; you can go and dig it up. To be on the safe side, let us first bury one copy of the manuscript."
Hearing such a domineering statement, Zhou Lie always felt it was rather strange
Cao Hongbin suddenly had an inspiration and said to Zhou Lie: "I am thinking about how to leverage this convenience to establish a firm foothold for myself. Perhaps this trans-temporal communication cannot last, so we need to make preparations in advance"
Uh? The relationship is quite complicated! So, are you saying that Brother Cao did not hide the other two mobile phones, but only buried one?
Is mechanism the same as mechanical engineering
Although they are antiques from seven hundred years ago, they have been safely "delivered" due to being buried underground, well-sealed, and not subjected to pressure
Yes, I found one. " Zhou Lie nodded vigorously.
Zhou Lie was still digesting Cao Hongbin's earlier words when he was unexpectedly asked about currency. He casually replied: "Currency is made from gold and silver. If one is frugal, three silver coins can sustain a family of three for a month. Approximately one hundred silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin, but I have heard that in many places, one hundred and twenty silver coins are required to exchange for one gold coin. Additionally, there are even rarer jade coins above the gold coins, but unfortunately, I have never seen one." Approximately one hundred silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin, but I have heard that in many places, one hundred and twenty silver coins are required to exchange for one gold coin. Additionally, there are even rarer jade coins above the gold coins, but unfortunately, I have never seen one.
Cao Hongbin seemed to have exhausted all his strength, his voice somewhat hoarse as he said: "It is all true, there is no longer any doubt. I am absolutely certain that this mobile phone is still buried at the entrance of the cave, yet I can now make a call and speak with you. This proves one thing: this cave is very special, perhaps due to changes in the magnetic field, resulting in phenomena that modern science cannot explain"
Hidden behind the stalactite, this location ... ...
Ah! Ah... Zhou Lie, as if awakening from a dream, finally realized what kind of fortune he had truly obtained
Zhou Liexing left the cave in high spirits, found a shaded spot outside the cave, and began to work as a miner, waving a small pickaxe.
Half an hour later, two square, foldable solar charging panels appeared on the stone table
Cao Hongbin sighed, "No, retrieving them is too exhausting, and I would still have to dig a pit and set up a ladder, so whoever finds them in the future can keep them!"
Zhou Lie picked up the box and hurried back to the stone cave, then he eagerly opened it
Do you live in a small mountain village? I do not know how far it is from the city. You should quickly go to those bustling places and find a way to understand what changes have occurred since the apocalypse. If there are specific individuals or events, that would be even better. By the way, is gold and silver used as currency there?
Zhou Lie was very pleased, but he heard Cao Hongbin muttering: "Since you haven't found the other two mobile phones, I will retrieve them later! Following this line of thought, as long as we stay in touch, I believe the things I want to hand over to you won't be discovered by others"
At this moment, Zhou Lie felt both excited and nervous. He hurriedly dug out the soil with great effort and finally extracted the aluminum box wrapped in layers of plastic bags after much exertion
After more than ten minutes, Cao Hongbin finally answered the phone, his voice trembling as he asked, "You found them, didn't you?"
"Brother Cao, Brother Cao, what is going on? Wasn't it said that for safety reasons only one manuscript would be buried? Why did I find two in the sealed box I dug up? And there is also a watch."
Zhou Lie has profound insights into free climbing; he ascends to great heights like a monkey, only to find that there is nothing there.
Suddenly, the corner of his eye twitched as he noticed a gray plastic bag
