Old Lu was generous, and Shi Tian certainly wouldn’t refuse his goodwill.
"Old man, that Rod contains a lot of materials, many of which were sourced by Lu Ge for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Tian leaned closer to Old Lu and whispered, "How does the Rod feel? What about its vibration conduction ability? Speaking of conduction, do you know about the probe used in CNC machines? Do you know what material it's made of?"
Upon hearing Shi Tian mention conduction ability, Old Lu nearly jumped up in excitement.
The Rod was sturdy, he admitted, but its most impressive feature was its conduction ability. He had spent half a day researching it with two professors and had come up with no clues.
"The probe? I know that one; ordinary probes are made from ruby, while aluminum uses another material—though I can’t recall what it is right now. But I can look it up!"
Pouring a glass of wine for Old Lu, Shi Tian fished out a pack of cigarettes and offered one to him. "What are you going to look up? Let me tell you, what's the main component of ruby? Aluminum Oxide, right? But it contains chromium! And sapphire—what does it contain? Titanium! All these materials are in my Rod!"
After finishing his sentence, Shi Tian stuffed the cigarette into his mouth and took a couple of puffs before realizing he hadn’t lit it yet!
He paused mid-sentence—wasn’t that a life-threatening situation? Without hesitation, Old Lu quickly lit Shi Tian's cigarette and then asked, "There can't be only these two materials, right? These two aren’t worth much!"
Taking a deep breath, Shi Tian turned to stare at Old Lu. "Not worth much? You think these materials are cheap? They’re incredibly expensive!"
Seeing Shi Tian steer the conversation toward money made Old Lu want to slap himself for speaking out of turn! He shouldn’t have said that last part!
"I’ll get you a ton as a meeting gift! If you need anything else, just let me know—I’ll get you whatever I can!" Old Lu replied generously, scratching his head while waiting for more details.
"Now that we’ve talked about this, let’s discuss other materials!" Old Lu was being generous, so Shi Tian decided to let him be generous to his heart's content!
The Rod is often exposed to water—whether fresh or saltwater—it’s bound to corrode! There’s a material called niobium; have you heard of it? Think about its properties—shouldn’t we include some niobium?
Mentioning niobium made Old Lu shudder; it was pricey and couldn’t be sent in tons. A kilogram costs several hundred! "Let’s start with a hundred kilograms."
It couldn’t be avoided! If he didn’t send it, Shi Tian wouldn’t continue talking! He just stared at him expectantly!
Shi Tian wasn’t just rambling; everything he mentioned was necessary for making Customized Rods. There were no secrets here—Old Lu could measure everything once he took it back.
Old Lu’s wine was quite expensive; after one meal, he had spent over several hundred thousand. However, sending out that much felt like throwing money into water—only the materials would be useful. Shi Tian had no intention of revealing any crafting techniques. When pressed too hard, he simply slumped over the table and fell asleep!
Watching Shi Tian sprawled on the table like a dead pig made Old Lu scratch his head in discomfort.
Was Shi Tian lying? Not at all; at least he had received the list of materials!
Accompanying Shi Tian by Xinyue Lake while fending off mosquitoes all night long, the next morning, when Shi Tian's phone rang, both of them groggily lifted their heads from the table.
"Hey! Old man, missing me?" Picking up the phone revealed it was a call from Old Kong.
They should be arriving soon. These old men are not to be underestimated; just because they’re not in Sanya doesn’t mean they won’t catch wind of what’s happening here!
“Great-Grandson, we’ve arrived at the airport. Where are you? Hurry up and come pick us up!”
Great-Grandson felt a bit bewildered by Shi Tian’s sudden call. Old Kong didn’t visit often, and now that he was here, Great-Grandson couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease. Was this another scheme to pull something over on him?
“Ah! You’re at the airport? Didn’t you drive back? Alright, I’ll head over right now. I had a bit too much to drink last night, so just wait for me; I’ll be there soon!”
Old Kong and the others returned quietly, which was puzzling. Were they trying to ambush Air Force? That seemed unlikely; if they wanted to do that, they would have come much earlier! The reason they were only coming now was that they didn’t want to run into Air Force and were giving them time to escape. However, once Old Kong arrived, Air Force would definitely think twice about returning to the villa area—Sanya might not even feel safe for them anymore!
“Old Lu, Old Kong and the others are at the airport. I’m going to pick them up. Are you coming?”
If I’m going to pick up Old Kong, I have to drag Old Lu along! There were so many promises made last night that still needed to be fulfilled; it was essential for Old Kong and the others to witness it!
“I’m not going. I have things to do later; you go by yourself!” Upon hearing that Old Kong had returned, Old Lu instinctively wanted to head back to Beijing.
However, Shi Tian hadn’t finished extracting information yet, so returning to Beijing right now wasn’t an option! For the next few days, he needed to stay at Lu Ya’s place until he found a chance to get more out of Shi Tian before heading back.
“How can you not go? We can’t let Old Lu leave now! We don’t know if things have been settled with Shi Ye yet; it’s better for Old Lu to stay in Sanya for now!”
