Before, by asking the staff of the safe company, Lin Xian learned that he could use an oxy-acetylene cutting torch to forcefully cut open the safe.
Similarly, the safe in the dream could naturally be cut open.
He opened the computer and started searching for relevant information.
According to the online encyclopedia —
An oxy-acetylene cutting torch is a widely used ultra-high temperature gas cutting method in various industrial fields. It is mainly used for rapidly cutting irregular steel products, such as steel coils, ingots, frames, etc., which are not easy to fix.
Its principle is very simple.
First, two cans of high-pressure liquefied gas are needed, one can of liquefied acetylene and one can of liquid oxygen, which are the main combustion raw materials for the gas cutting torch.
The two cans of liquefied gas are connected to a high-pressure spray gun with a hose, and when adjusted to the appropriate pressure and gas ratio, they are ignited to produce an intense jet of burning "flame sword."
The shape is similar to the flame of a windproof lighter commonly seen, but it is tens of times longer in length.
At the "flame core" where the high-speed jet flame is emitted, the temperature reaches up to 3000 degrees Celsius. This temperature far exceeds the melting point of steel (1500 degrees Celsius) and can easily melt steel into molten steel, effectively completing the cutting process.
Lin Xian searched for some videos of cutting safes on video websites, and without exception, they were all done using oxy-acetylene cutting torches.
When the high-speed jet of incandescent white flame touched the safe, it was as if it had entered tofu! It blew out countless fine burning iron flowers! In just ten seconds, the entire safe was cut open!
The solidified molten steel at the cut was faintly shimmering with red light, as if sighing in helplessness under the absolute high temperature.
Lin Xian had seen the safe in the dream many times before.
Eighty percent of the paint had peeled off.
There were layers of rust inside.
It looked very old.
Since it could rust, it must be made of steel, and its melting point would not exceed 1500 degrees Celsius, so cutting it with an oxy-acetylene cutting torch would be no problem at all.
Lin Xian checked some more information...
The technology of this oxy-acetylene cutting torch is already very mature and widely used. It can be freely purchased in any construction site or steel market, and is even available for sale on online shopping platforms.
Even the small shops on the roadside that make steel frame billboards have almost one each.
"Since this thing is so popular, it must be easy to find in the dream."
Lin Xian recalled that he had seen this thing countless times in his life.
When he was in primary school, he and Gao Yang would pass by a street full of advertisements. The workers there often used electric welding and oxy-acetylene cutting torches when welding steel frame billboards.
Both of these things emitted very bright light and would spew out hot iron flowers, so the workers wore heavy goggles to cover their entire face.
Lin Xian and Gao Yang, who passed by, would often glance unintentionally, causing their vision to be filled with black spots for a long time, just like staring directly at the sun.
...
Lin Xian turned off the computer.
He began to think about the plan after entering the dream tonight:
"Finding the equipment of the oxy-acetylene cutting torch in the dream should not be a problem. The key is... how to transport such a heavy and cumbersome thing to the bank warehouse?"
The two cans of liquefied gas were very heavy, and it took two people to lift one can, so at least four people were needed to carry out the action.
And it's not just the two cans of gas that can do the job.
You also need hoses, spray guns, goggles...
When everything is considered, at least five or six people are needed to complete this complex task.
"Five or six people... where can I find so many accomplices in the dream?"
Even if we include Big Face Cat and CC, two people put aside their grievances and cooperated unprecedentedly, plus himself, there are only three people.
"Should I include Big Face Cat's three little brothers?"
Lin Xian thought of the three little brothers who appeared and died...
Old One with dirty hands, Old Two who seduced the big sister-in-law, and Old Three who wanted to betray the organization by eating black.
"Are these potential hidden dragons and crouching tigers reliable?"
Thinking of Big Face Cat's mixed bag of little brothers, Lin Xian couldn't help but frown.
But there is no other way now.
I can only take a gamble.
"For the sake of completing the plan, I must unite this group of guys who harbor evil intentions and are not well-intentioned, and work together in unity... It's really a big project."
Lin Xian closed his eyes.
He began to think about the plan for the "Violently Cutting Open the Safe" after entering the dream tonight:
Persuade Big Face Cat and CC to set aside their grievances, put down their animosity, shake hands and make peace, and reach a consensus on cooperation.
Lead Big Face Cat and CC to find the equipment of the oxy-acetylene cutting torch, then load it onto a van and transport it to the target bank.
Stop Big Face Cat from clearing the door of his family, and use Big Face Cat's three little brothers as laborers to carry the two cans of high-pressure liquefied gas to the bank warehouse.
Assemble the various components of the cutting torch together and perform high-temperature cutting to successfully open the safe.
"Well, this is relatively safe in terms of logic."
What the current password is no longer matters. The oxy-acetylene cutting torch with a temperature of 3000 degrees Celsius is definitely the absolute correct password!
...
After a long absence, he went home on time.
After a simple dinner, Lin Xian watched TV for a while and was ready to enter the dream.
He had been exploring this dream for over 20 years, so he naturally knew where there was a building materials market and where there was an advertising storefront. Finding the oxy-acetylene cutting torch would be an easy task.
The only place where mistakes might occur is whether Big Face Cat and CC would cooperate honestly.
Fortunately, he had a god's-eye view, sufficient bargaining chips, and negotiations with the two.
There shouldn't be a problem.
After finishing his evening routine, he turned off the lights and lay down in bed.
"Departure."
...
...
Hoo!
The familiar summer breeze brushed his face, and Lin Xian hadn't felt this warmth from entering the dream for a long time.
His body instantly warmed up.
He looked at the electronic billboard next to him:
[August 28, 2624]
[21:42]
The surroundings, crowds, and scenes were all the same as usual.
Lin Xian estimated that when Professor Xu Yun's paper was publicly released, human technology would inevitably experience a leap in development.
By then, the square here in the dream would also undergo earth-shaking changes.
Whether it's the level of technology, the surrounding buildings, people's living conditions, or even the toys of children on the square, everything will become a different scene.
"This dream that has remained unchanged for 23 years is finally about to usher in a dramatic change."
"By then, will this square still exist? What will the surroundings look like?"
Thinking that he would soon bid farewell to all this familiarity, Lin Xian couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.
"Well, let's take advantage of this remaining time... and open the safe. I'm really curious about what's inside."
Looking to the east, the two brothers who were shouting "Ultraman Flying Kick" and "Ultraman Slide Tackle" had left their masks and ran away.
Lin Xian walked forward, picked up the Ultraman mask on the ground, and put it on his face.
Then he walked towards the fat figure who got off the van:
"Big Face Cat!"
"Huh?" With a face full of flesh wearing a Rhine Cat mask, he turned around.
Slap.
Lin Xian put his right hand on his shoulder.
With the mask close, he whispered:
"Listen patiently to me, I have something very important to tell you..."
