(Extra with Monthly Ticket!)_3 “The worst outcome is just not finding it.
If we don’t find it, I’ll just treat it as a trip around Earth.
The space bus from Earth won’t arrive for another two years, and by then, I can just return to Mars looking all disheveled,”
…
Thus, the origin of Grandpa Wei Shengjin was clarified.
This time, he had come from Mars to Earth specifically to search for his hafnium alloy safe.
That’s perfect.
Lin Xian was also curious about what message An Qing had written to him on the “little note” inside his hafnium alloy safe.
An Qing had said that the very moment he read the content of the note, he would understand the reality and the illusions of Dream World.
Even though it could now be fairly demonstrated that Dream World was indeed real…
at least Dreams 1, 2, 3, and 5 certainly were.
But still.

Lin Xian wanted to know…
As someone who had encountered space-time particles in her last moments, what words would An Qing write to him?
It must be extremely important information, right?
This was the clue she left with her last breath…
perhaps even more significant than he imagined!
“Then let’s search together, Grandpa Wei,”
Lin Xian said,
“I also want to know what’s hidden in my safe, let me try my luck with you.”
“Of course, no problem,” Grandpa Wei Shengjin chuckled cheerfully:
“You’re Lin Xian, right?
From now on, I’ll just call you Lin Xian, and you don’t need to be so formal to call me Grandpa, since you were born much earlier than I.
This phenomenon is very common in society now, so they no longer use this formality…
just call me by my name, Wei Shengjin is fine.”
“No, no, no…”
Lin Xian waved his hand to decline, insisting:
“I’d still prefer to call you Grandpa Wei, as we are after all on Earth, let’s respect the traditional ways here.”
This name was indeed thunderous.
Forgive Lin Xian for not having the prowess to casually address him.
Thus,
the two teamed up.
Talking leisurely as they followed the pre-planned route set by Grandpa Wei Shengjin.
Lin Xian didn’t really hold any hope of finding the hafnium alloy safe; he knew the likelihood of finding a needle in a haystack…
it was practically impossible.
Finally having found a living person, could Lin Xian simply let him go?
He certainly needed to extract as much information and intelligence as possible.
Grandpa Wei Shengjin, deftly using a metal detector, was moving it seriously left and right close to the ground.
Lin Xian, like an appendage, followed behind Wei Shengjin, asking all sorts of questions:
“Grandpa Wei, you’re in such good shape, could it be that you’ve also gone through pharmaceutical enhancement and gene editing?”
“Hehe, nothing like that,” Grandpa Wei Shengjin was amused into laughter:
“Those are concepts in science fiction novels.
We don’t have them on Mars.”
Well then.
It seemed the technological tree had changed.
Lin Xian chuckled lightly.
It couldn’t be that the two Blue-Eyed Girl assassins had brought any psychological shadows to Jask, right?
Leading him to strongly oppose pharmaceutical enhancements and gene editing, and naturally, those technologies would not develop on his Mars.
Exactly.
That was Jask’s Mars; for sure he called the shots.
“Then…
since you haven’t undergone any physical enhancements, let me carry your backpack for you, I’ll help you carry it.
It will save you some energy and improve the speed of detecting underground metal, as my physical strength is certainly better than yours,”
Lin Xian, always respectful of the old:
“Trying to help you save some energy.”
“Hehe, thank you, Lin Xian, this backpack really is heavy, it’s bending my back,”
Grandpa Wei Shengjin was not shy.
He straightaway set down the large backpack on the spot, switching it to Lin Xian’s shoulders.
Indeed heavy, but manageable.
Lin Xian himself was strong, and having undergone devilish training at the Astronaut Secret Training Center just a few months ago, his physical fitness had improved further.
Obtaining close details, Lin Xian continued to inquire about Mars.
Learning much about its economy, politics, landscape, and technology…
Overall,
according to what Wei Shengjin said, life on Mars was quite comfortable, without much pressure, and no wars or such.
The fundamental reason lay in…
although Mars had a federal system in place, it was still predominantly dominated by Space-T in the background.
Space-T’s dominance didn’t rely on weapons and authority, but on genuine technological prowess.
The Mars Colonization Plan didn’t officially kick start until around 2350, developing very slowly; initially, there were only a few small bases relying on supplies from Earth.
In 2400, with major disasters on Earth, Mars completely, under the leadership of Jask and Space-T, began steady construction and development.
This was by no means a simple task.
Mars being much farther from the Sun than Earth, resulted in very limited solar energy available on Mars.
As everything grows with sunlight, Mars was inherently at a disadvantage in capturing solar energy.
But compared to other construction challenges on Mars, the issue of sunlight was relatively trivial.
Mars lacked an atmosphere, allowing various cosmic dangerous rays and radiations to directly reach the surface, and it also couldn’t retain liquid water.

Mars did not have a magnetic field, and that was the weakest link; the reason life on Earth was so comfortable was due to the existence of Earth’s magnetic field, which diverted solar storms and cosmic rays away from reaching the surface.
Similarly, adapting to Mars’s low gravity environment over the long term was a major challenge for the human body.
Over the next more than two hundred years, the human population on Mars constantly countered these external factors.
