The stone slab Wei Fan took out was a square with sides about three feet, and it had no images or text on it.
On the surface, it looked very ordinary, a bit like regular floor tiles.
Even Wei Fan and the others didn't pay much attention, placing it sowhat casually on the edge of the table.
Yet, when Lin Ziming saw this stone slab, he recalled what Zhang Yaqing had ntioned earlier:
There were a few grooves beside the skeleton, suspected to have been compressed by stone slabs.
Moreover, on the plane returning to the camp earlier, Lin Ziming had deliberately looked at the photos of the grooves taken by the scouts.
And the length and width of those grooves...
Were exactly the sa as the stone slabs Ye Fan brought out!
However, Lin Ziming did not voice out to interrupt Wei Fan's inspection.
After all, what Zhang Yaqing said was rely an unproven conjecture; the stone slab placed here wouldn't run away, so there was no need to halt the ongoing process.
In this manner, more than half an hour passed.
Soon, all the items in the spatial bag were sorted and categorized.
There were a total of one hundred and twenty-seven items, and Wei Fan only briefly categorized them based on whether they were dangerous, leaving the identification process to the humanoid identifier Wei Qiangsheng.
After Wei Fan stepped back, Wei Qiangsheng approached, first picking up a piece of black decayed wood, inspecting it, and said:
"This is a piece of westward sunken wood, usable for refining magical artifacts for the Foundation Establishnt Realm, but it's been decayed for a long ti and holds no practical value."
Then he placed the wood aside and picked up a broken dagger:
"A magical artifact refined by a cultivator at around the fifth or sixth layer of the Foundation Establishnt Realm, also damaged. However, there seem to be a few Damo characters on it...
Hmm, it should be a na... Peidong?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Li turned his head and said to his assistant Zhang Guanghua:
"Xiaozhang, quickly look up whether there is anyone nad Peidong among the ancestors or known relatives of the Mo Family."
Zhang Guanghua nodded, entered the characters 'Peidong' into his tablet — Over the past ten days, the team inspecting the Mo Family Mansion had found the Mo Family genealogy and recorded figures, and had entered them into a database, ready for access.
Soon, Zhang Guanghua's eyes lit up, he quickly handed the tablet to Lin Li:
"Captain Lin, there indeed was a male clan mber nad Mo Peidong among the Mo Family ancestors."
Lin Li took the tablet for a look.
Sure enough, as Zhang Guanghua said, there was a person nad Mo Peidong in the Mo Family genealogy.
According to the records in the Mo Family historical accounts.
This man was a male elder in the sa line as Mo Shaonan, the third patriarch of the Mo Family, who reached the peak of the second layer of the Foundation Establishnt Realm, nicknad Huaiyu Sword.
Mo Peidong had a good relationship with Mo Shaonan, and at forty-two years old, he perished shielding Mo Shaonan and several juniors during a beast tide incident. To commorate Mo Peidong, Mo Shaonan thereafter abandoned using firearms and switched to swords.
Lin Li glanced at the distant skeleton and thoughtfully remarked:
"An elder in the sa line with close relations who gave it...it just lacks the bone age to confirm the skeleton's identity..."
Then Lin Li handed the tablet back to Zhang Guanghua, signaling Wei Qiangsheng to continue the item identification.
"This is Qing'er glue, with only a tiny usable portion remaining..."
"This is a Beast-Exorcism Flute, a common gear for outdoor travel in the Damo Realm..."
"Ah, this is a female puppet refined by a consortium under a prominent family, the tactile feel is indistinguishable from a real person, one of the artifacts frequently carried by affluent single cultivators when traveling, although the old model's experience is sowhat lacking compared to the new model with vibration talisman released five years ago..."
........
Two hours later.
Wei Qiangsheng, with his throat feeling dry, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said:
"Ladies and gentlen, the items in the spatial bag are essentially like this, only a few are usable."
According to Wei Qiangsheng's identification.
Among these hundred and twenty-plus items, only over twenty are currently well-preserved.
Most are Foundation Establishnt Realm magical artifacts, with so special pills featuring external dicinal coatings and a handful of miscellaneous items like books and Spirit Stones.
The most valuable is a gold-attribute cultivation technique, which belongs to the top tier of spirit level.
It can additionally boost combat power by 1.5 tis in a short period, and the standalone selling price would not be less than fifty thousand Spirit Stones.
As for other miscellaneous things combined, they are worth around three to four thousand Spirit Stones — this is rely theoretical value, selling them would at least require a fifty percent markdown.
In addition to these items.
This spatial bag used to contain them is quite decent, with a volu of over two hundred cubic ters, approximately 4x5x10.
Although it belongs to the smallest specification among spatial bags, it still is much more expensive than storage bags.
Besides, the preservation state of nurous items within the spatial bag has unraveled another long-pondered mystery of the rabbits.
"From this, it appears that the spatial bag rely cuts space and does not have the ans to permanently maintain the items in the initial state when they were stored."
In the laboratory, Zeng Gu Cheng stroked his chin and explained to Lin Li and others:
"This discovery could greatly, even decisively, propel the theoretical direction of our analysis of spatial bags.
After all, if it can permanently freeze items in a state, this would involve the concept of 'snapping ti,' whereas the fluidity of space and fixed ti in dinsional theory are indeed contradictory."
Seeing Lin Li and others sowhat perplexed, Zeng Gu Cheng gave another example:
"For instance, if at this mont a planet five million light-years away exploded, the light from the explosion reaching us would take five million years, everyone understands this principle, right?"
Lin Li and others nodded; this belongs to common knowledge.
A light-year is a unit of length, used to asure the distance light travels in one year in the vacuum of space, hence the starlight observed by many students now is from stars emitted a very long ti ago.
For example, if a celestial body billions of light-years away was hit by an asteroid at this mont, it would take billions of years for us to observe this phenonon, to see the light it brings.
Then Zeng Gu Cheng continued:
"Suppose when the planet exploded we were present onsite, and from the planetary orbit, we extracted a photon from the explosion light and stored it in the spatial bag, then alongside other light, it traveled for five million years to Earth — suppose we have the ans to accomplish all these processes.
If the spatial bag possesses the feature to freeze states, then the captured photon would maintain ti-defined stillness throughout the five million years.
In other words.
When we take it out on Earth, from a microscopic perspective, it would have five million more years of lifespan compared to other photons.
This evidently contradicts the fundantal rules of the universe."
As Zeng Gu Cheng said.
Even though the lifespan of photons is 10 raised to the power of 18 years, five million years appears short.
As long as this distance infinitely increases, it could impel counteraction against the Big Bang theory, leading to loopholes in cosmic rules, eventually making the entire world collapse.
However, if ti still passes within the spatial bag, then everything becos straightforward, rely involving energy conversion domains, unrelated to constant rules.
Everything would remain calm, Lemaitre, Hubble, and Einstein could continue dozing off well in their coffins.
And hence.
So scenarios in certain xianxia novels where apples stored in storage bags don't rot for thousands of years are indeed implausible.
Reverting sight back to the laboratory.
Just as Wei Qiangsheng finished identifying all items and Lin Li prepared to command to categorize them for storage.
Lin Ziming suddenly cleared his throat, pointed to the stone slab on the table, and said to Wei Qiangsheng:
"President Qiangsheng, could you examine this stone slab more ticulously?
Here's the thing, our scouts found a few grooves in the secret chamber, and the traces sowhat resemble the stone slab, thus speculating that the skeleton might have had so connection with the slab before death."
Then he paused montarily and continued:
"Moreover, doesn't everyone find it odd?
The items in the storage bag may not be currently valuable, but primarily because they have lost their original properties due to prolonged storage.
In the era when the skeleton was alive, the minimum value for these items would have been hundreds or even thousands of Spirit Stones.
Nevertheless, in such circumstances, there suddenly are a few mundane stone slabs in the spatial bag, doesn't it seem incongruous?"
