Chapter 40: Please, I’m the actual expert here alright

Translated by me, edited by drpetro.

Now don’t mention Ye Qing, even Gong Wei doesn’t want to leave. Cutting open the vault door, this was a situation only seen in those super heist movies, where the heck would you find this kind of situation in reality?

Seeing the team approach, Liu Tianyang seemed to have met his savior, and immediately went to meet them. The security guards behind him even shoved whole boxes of Royal Prerogative into their hands. [TL: tldr – cig brand, http://baike.baidu.com/view/2155384.htm]

This kind of top grade gift made the group of men who spend their days by the sea happy to no end. Even the police, who were guarding the door, went up in turn to fawn upon these saviors.

The leader of the bunch, having received the high end cigarettes and praises, slammed his chest and guaranteed that they’ll have the door cut up like play doh in less than half an hour.

Having had his guarantee, he immediately pulled out a small hammer, knocked a couple of times, and used the echo to estimate how thick the door was.

Roughly 30 centimeter thick, while the silver white door seems to be made out of stainless steel.

Who cares what steel it is.

The foreman, quickly and easily, setup the oxygen and acetylene tanks, brought his torch forward and lit it towards the imposing door.

Under the presence of 3000°C flames caused by oxyacetylene, even transformers had to be afraid.

The white flame screamed out. The huge ripping sound in the atmosphere had everyone sweat cold sweat in fear.

The kind of terrifying temperature caused by oxyacetylene, if used to cut people, then it would definitely be more efficient than a light saber.

Then……

The silver white metal door didn’t give a damn. Oxyacetylene’s high temperature flames burned it for close to a minute, yet only a reddish dot appeared on the door. With no traces of any metal melting under the heat.

*Pop* A burst of glass breaking and the falling sound of heavy metal gave the working foreman quite the scare. He immediately called out for what happened.

“It’s the door’s anti cutting measure that got tripped. It’s definitely that heat that cause the glass inside to break, but don’t worry about it, just continue to cut.” A police wave his hand, showing exactly how much he cared about it.

Thinking about it, if the police are here, the criminals, staying inside a sealed off room filled with world famous cigars and liquor, then of course they’re going to do some destruction to enjoy their freedom while they still can.

As for the two inside, it’s not like they want to head out, so who gives a damn whether the door is sealed shut or not.

A minute passed, and the majority of the metal door had already been burned red. Even Ye Qing, who was behind everyone, could start to feel the heat coming off of the door.

However, the metal under the flames only had a small dip. With this rate of progress, they probably needed at least a month before they could open a passage that is big enough for a person to pass through.

“This door has definitely been heat treated.” The foreman who was already sweating like pig from the heat, turned off the torch and ashamedly said ‘let me try some other options’.

In the security footage, the two suspects were laying in the corner enjoying the famous cigars and wine. The climate control system inside the storeroom eliminated any and all traces of extra heat.

A big and cumbersome machine-like equipment was hauled in by the workers.

Having connected it to a power source, a worker with the torch in hand specially warned everyone to look away, otherwise if they hurt their eyes then don’t blame them for not warning them.

“What is that?” Gong Wei was kind of curious to find out what the rectangle-like machine was.

“Plasma cutting machine. The principle behind it is just like an electrical welder, except it’s able to produce much more terrifying temperatures. This kind of equipment is specially used to cut those high melting point metals, it’s even able to cut through stainless steel.”

Ye Qing hinted for Gong Wei to not look directly at the torch, turn around and continued: “But I’ve already seen enough, this door’s heat coating is simply too powerful. The oxyacetylene before was only able to burn a small dip, the metal inside has traces of black, so it probably has some nickel in it.”

“Although plasma cutters can cut through nickel alloy, it’s got a fatal flaw, for it’s not suited to cut through thick pieces of metal, especially these small versions.”

Just as Ye Qing finished explaining, a white arc that is even more terrifying than before, lashed at the silver white door.

Under the huge rumbling, the outer plating of the door slowly began to melt. When the torch blasted away the melted metal with compressed air and exposed the nickel alloy inside, the rate of progress clearly slowed down.

However, no matter how the workers adjusted the flow of electricity, the torch couldn’t pierce through the 30 centimeter plus thick door under any circumstance.

The situation was like using a 10 centimeter long nail to try to pierce through a 20 centimeter thick block of wood. No matter how much the nail is hammered, it’ll never pierce through the wood block.

As time went by, many club members whom had already had their fun, saw all the workers and equipment going back and forth, all of the staff grouping together and discussing, and suddenly like sharks who smelled blood, they all swarmed in.

Their excited looks, laughing expressions, some even pulled out their camera and started to record everything.

That really made the security guards job difficult, as these clients’ influence was simply too great. A random hair from one of their legs was easily able to be used as a spear.

They don’t dare to go up and snatch away their cell phones.

Liu Tianyang, seeing so many clients watching, faded into the background.

Zhang Zhitong and her fellow colleges were also anxiously waiting for results.

At this moment, calls were being made as if it were raining. Phones were ringing off the hook, and the callers are all people with power trying to find out why there was such a mess. As of right now, this story and its related photos had spread out throughout Zhongyun’s forums like wildfire.

Zhang Zhitong was on the verge of a total mental breakdown, getting reprimanded by other leading figures is whatever.

But the one who had complete trust in her, let her lead this team on this operation, also gave her a ruthless rebuke.

Seeing that only a 20 centimeter long gash was cut out in over 20 minutes, Zhang Zhitong and her colleges could be seen with hints of despair in their eyes.

Even if they wait a day for the workers to cut a small door, then what about the other 10 some centimeters of the door? It’s not like they can just kick it down.

This is a freaking blast door. Do they really have to resort to using a anti-tank shoulder missile on it?

The amount of people watching kept growing, and the sound of laughter also kept on growing.

This bunch of big shots definitely won’t help the police out here. Coming to catch people in the Silver Palace alone had already upset them, now that this group of police had caused this big of a mess, there was no way that they were going to help them out.

“Please guys, can’t you think of other ways that can cut open this door?” Zhang Zhitong’s eyes had already began to turn red. Just like how pathetic someone is after getting bullied.

“No can do, unless we can get a large scale plasma cutter here there is nothing else that can do the job.”

The workers who were operating the cutting torch had already stopped their futile attempts, and embarrassingly explained: “Except those large scale cutters weight more than several tons. The area it needs to operate is several times the size of this hallway. Unless we can move the door back to the yard, then……”

As for the rest of the sentence, he didn’t bother finishing. If they can move the door, then where was the need for them?

This bunch of cutters came full of joy and expectation, except now they’re leaving with their tails between their legs and an unfinished mess.

The big shots who were watching all laughed joyously. They were seriously enjoying watching the police tossing and turning in this mess.

“Why don’t you change that into a jail. It’s definitely more robust than any other jails in use, and you can even keep them in there for life.”

“I know Liu Qian, if you can convince him to come, then he’s probably able to pass through this door.”

“Convince The Italian Job’s director to come. He definitely has ways, haven’t you seen his heisting abilities in the movie?”

The men in the squad all turned into ostriches. They all turned to face the wall, as if saying I hear nothing, I hear absolutely nothing.

Girls are seriously sensitive in all aspects. Zhang Zhitong stared on as her colleges turned and became ostriches. Ye Qing caught a glimpse of tears dripping down from her clear eyes.

Humiliation, powerlessness, sorrow……

Those feelings were not only burying themselves inside Zhang Zhitong, but it also made Ye Qing quite uncomfortable.

When all’s said and done, she’s still my old classmate. Helping her out here will definitely curry a favor into the future.

Walking forward, Ye Qing lightly patted her again delicate shoulders: “Stop grieving, leave this door to me, I’ll have it open in no time.”

“You?” Zhang Zhitong turn around, used her beautiful misty eyes and looked at Ye Qing completely flabbergasted.

“Yes me. I have a plan.” Ye Qing warmly smiled, just like a graceful prince coming to the rescue, and not the man who was lying there getting a massage.

“Did you forget? My family’s been in the cutter machine manufacturing business for more than a decade. I can say that we’re true experts in the field.”

“Cutting up special metal isn’t hard, you just need to find the right cutter.”

The squad members who were just acting like ostriches turned around lightning quick. They used a speed that is faster than when they were chasing the suspects and rushed next to Ye Qing.

“Little bro, you really have a plan?”

“Little bro, it’s all my fault before, please accept my apology first.”

Liu Tianyang also came over with flashing eyes, professional cutting machine manufacturer, these couple of words were even more pleasant than the sounds of heaven right now.

Yes, if Ye Qing said that he could with nothing to back him up, then this bunch of police would only think of him as boasting.

But Ye Qing said his family’s been in the cutting machine manufacturing business for more than a decade. These words hold a completely different meaning to everyone here.

“Little bro, let bygones be bygones and cut open this stupid door.” As soon as Liu Tianyang heard the words ‘more than a decade in the cutting machine manufacturing business’, he immediately patted his chest: “If you can do it, then from now on you’re officially a platinum member in the club.”

“Haha ~ Of course Brother Ye can cut it open.” Gong Wei also joined in on the fun, and explained: “Before when my factory’s equipment had some accident, it was exactly Brother Ye who fixed it with extraordinary mechanical skills.”

“Cutting open this door is literally a piece of cake.”

“Then what are you waiting for……” Zhang Zhitong’s face was like a duckling, fully able to hang a can of paint from those lips of hers. She, with hidden bitterness and pettiness, stared at Ye Qing.

“Well time to go grab the equipment!” Ye Qing snapped confidently.

“Let me give you a ride. Let me give you a ride.” Gong Wei hurriedly had the driver get the car ready.

The Bentley ran off as fast as it could, leaving behind a bunch of people anxiously waiting for the return of their saviour.

Ye Qing had Gong Wei drop him off at Caiyi Street. There, in the nearby parking lot, was his van.

Arriving at the parking lot, Ye Qing had Gong Wei go home, the reason being that his Bentley simply wasn’t able to haul the required gear. It’s not like the roof has enough space for all of it.

“Haha ~ then I’m gonna leave now. Once this is all over, let’s get together to celebrate again.” Gong Wei was now feeling sleepy. He was really getting old, not to mention the scare with the wolf-like police. Now that he’s seen all the fun tonight, it’s really time to get some sleep.

Bidding farewell to Gong Wei, Ye Qing squeezed into the van.

Which cutting equipment is the strongest?

Naturally it’s the M.P.C.V.. Abundant amount of modifications, where the only need is to modify the arms of the vehicle.

However it’s really not worth going through all the trouble of changing the arms of the M.P.C.V. because it seriously is a money sink. After the arms completed their use, then Ye Qing still needed to pay to switch it back.

Furthermore, within the app shop there’s a bunch of readily available metal cutting machines up for sale.
