Upstairs.
Despite returning to the room, Gu Mang had no intention of sleeping. She took out her black backpack from the cabinet and tipped the contents out on the bed before searching through the pile of mess and picking up a mechanical watch.
It was the only thing that her parents had left behind for her. It had an emergency button and a thermosensory function and could also extract key information. ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐น.๐๐ ๐
After giving it some thought, she picked up the rectangular metal box as well and walked over to the coffee table where she sat down on the carpet and turned on the table lamp. She then took out the tools from the box and carefully disassembled the dial of the mechanical watch with them.
As the parts were all really tiny, she took her time disassembling them lest they get damaged. Thus, it took her over two minutes before she finally removed the back cover.
Gu Mang frowned as she examined its complicated internal structure. When she could not find anything unusual about it at a glance, she moved on to check the dialโs thickness. Some parts appeared to be a double layer, but the differences in thickness were only about 0.1mm.
She continued to take out the parts one by one and she found a small piece of paper sandwiched inside a part that was made of a special metal. I thought Iโd just try my luck and see if thereโs anything inside the watch, but I didnโt expect to really find something.
She paused for several seconds before examining the piece of paper and carefully unfolding it with the help of a pair of tweezers. As the paper was really thin, she moved delicately lest she tear it.
The paper, once spread open, was half the size of a fingernail and it seemed to be made of some sort of special material. It also had a black and blurry line on it that seemed to be a record of something.
Using a magnifying glass, Gu Mang realized that it was actually two lines of special symbols. It seemed to be a code for something.
The bedroom door was pushed open right then, interrupting her from her train of thoughts. She looked toward the door to see Lu Chengzhou slowly walking over.
"This is all my parents left behind for me. Gu Si and I canโt keep hiding from the Gu family and the Eldersโ Association, so I thought this watch might be of some help." Gu Mang pursed her lips. I have no other information on my hands anyway.
Lu Chengzhou pointed at the pile of parts on the table with his chin. "These are all projects that have just shown some results in the special material institutes, yet you already have the finished products. Whatโs more, this watch isnโt new." Its technology is more than ten years ahead of current technology.
"No. 14 Research Center only successfully developed this synthetic material six months ago. I invested nearly ten billion yuan into the research," He continued speaking as he pointed the tweezers at one of the round parts. I stayed there for almost half a year and this material was only developed with the help of six research teams.
