Liu Yong carefully placed the alien weapon on the table, casting an observant eye upon it. His first impression was that it appeared a little dirty, with its surface coated in a sleek jet-black hue. Picking it up, he noticed water could be poured out from within the gun as if submerged for a considerable time. Eager to cleanse it, Liu Yong was cautious not to touch its peculiar trigger, which was slightly different from what he was accustomed to.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm The sheer size of the weapon intrigued him; it was nearly two meters long and weighed around 40 to 50 catties, suggesting it was designed for beings taller than humans. With utmost care and gentleness, Liu Yong dedicated at least three to forty minutes to meticulously cleaning the gun's surface until its authentic appearance was finally unveiled.
The gun resembled the weapons in science fiction movies but seemed even more significant in scale. Despite its extended stay on the seabed for an astonishing 50,000 years, the exterior showed no signs of rust or decay. This remarkable preservation amazed Liu Yong, who admired the aliens' advanced technology. He pondered that if it had been constructed from steel or even stainless steel, it would have eroded long ago, even after 500 years.
Intrigued by the well-preserved weapon, Liu Yong couldn't help but wonder if it still possessed its functionality. The thought of testing it on the deck crossed his mind, prompting him to carry the gun outside, with Chen Hu following him, filled with curiosity.
Observing the peculiar firearm, Chen Hu said, "Boss, this looks like a gun, but I've never seen anything quite like it before."
Liu Yong confirmed, "Indeed, it is a gun. I want to see if it can still fire."
Taking a firm grip on the gun, Liu Yong aimed it towards the distant sea and pulled the trigger, only to be met with silence. Perplexed, he attempted multiple times, but the gun remained unresponsive. Liu Yong and Chen Hu examined the weapon closely, determining if it was still operational or secured with a safety mechanism. They tinkered with it for quite a while, but nothing seemed to coax any response from the enigmatic firearm.
Despite their efforts, the gun appeared dormant after its lengthy sojourn beneath the waves. Liu Yong couldn't help but feel regret at this discovery. Abandoning firing it, he returned to the yacht with the gun in hand.
Sitting on the sofa, Liu Yong studied the gun with newfound freedom, relieved that there was no longer a fear of accidental discharge. As he toyed with the weapon, he pondered whether the interior had suffered from the prolonged submersion. He wondered if disassembling it might reveal some hidden secrets.
Examining the gun closely, Liu Yong attempted to locate screws or any means of disassembly, but to his surprise, there were none to be found. Perplexed, he mused aloud, "Don't the aliens use screws? Is their technology really this advanced?"
Scrutinizing the gun further, he noticed a peculiar buckle-like mechanism. Curiosity piqued, Liu Yong pressed the buckle, and with a soft "click," a component protruded slightly from the handle. Could this be a magazine? In the manner that assault rifles often housed a magazine in this location, Liu Yong decided to investigate further.
Carefully removing the object, he discovered it resembled a large magazine, surpassing the size used in their weaponry. Could this indeed be the magazine for the enigmatic alien gun? The mysteries surrounding the weapon seemed to deepen with each revelation.
Liu Yong's eyes darted left and right as he carefully examined the enigmatic "magazine" he had discovered. To his astonishment, not a single bullet was found within. This was no ordinary gun that fired metal projectiles; it seemed to be powered by some form of energy, like the futuristic laser beams seen in sci-fi blockbusters or other mysterious energy beams.
The realization struck him that this weapon must require substantial energy to operate. Could it be that the "magazine" contained a vast energy reservoir? If true, then it held the potential for groundbreaking research. Regrettably, Liu Yong and his companions were not experts in this field, or they could have embarked on a profound investigation of this intriguing device.
His mind buzzing excitedly, Liu Yong envisioned the possibilities hidden within the unassuming "magazine." Though small in size, not much larger than a palm, if it genuinely possessed formidable abilities and could be replicated on a mass scale, it could revolutionize humanity's technology. For instance, a new energy vehicle equipped with such a power source could travel thousands of kilometres at a stretch, a feat that would be nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Liu Yong's heart raced with anticipation as he pondered the significance of this discovery. The implications were profound, and he dared not delve too deeply into them for fear of overwhelming himself with excitement. The more he thought about it, his excitement grew, driving his curiosity to unfathomable heights.
After inspecting the "magazine again," Liu Yong carefully loaded it into the weapon and deduced that it likely served as an energy block to power the gun. As night descended, he finally decided to retire for the day, knowing that he needed rest to face the intense challenges ahead.
Descending to depths exceeding 3,000 meters thrice over had taken its toll, even on Liu Yong, whose physique rivalled that of Superman. It was an arduous task that only he could endure.
Several days later, their big yacht reached Huahai City, where a dedicated company that handled its maintenance and care promptly took care of it.
Liu Yong took the alien weapon, carefully wrapped it in newspapers and clothes, and placed it in the trunk of his car. "Chen Hu, let's head to the Universal Building," he called out.
The journey took nearly ten days, but the Global Shipping Group eventually moved into their new offices at the Global Building.
Upon reaching the 98th floor, Liu Yong entered his private office, shutting the door behind him. Settling into his executive chair, he devoted considerable time to studying the enigmatic weapon and the perplexing "magazine" that seemed to hold immense potential.
Liu Yong speculated that the "magazine" might function as a rechargeable battery, unlike any on Earth. A single charge could harness a terrifying amount of power. His suspicions were bolstered by observing positive and negative poles and a peculiar charging port.
After exhaustive examination, he reloaded the "magazine" back into the weapon and secured the otherworldly device inside a giant safe tucked away in the corner of his lavish office. This safe, designed to hold sizable objects, was a fitting repository for the nearly two-meter-long weapon.
With the mysterious weapon safely stored away, Liu Yong's mind brimmed with possibilities. He considered the following steps carefully, formulating a preliminary plan of action. Picking up the phone, he dialled Qiu Yang and requested his presence in the office.
