Chapter 398: Chapter 263 Holy Shit, Supernatural Event? _2

And as the mechanic hurried to the train conductor’s location,

The train conductor was a middle-aged man nearing forty, named Li Ming. He had an imposing image and wore a neat, dark blue uniform.

Li Ming’s face had distinct features, and his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate everything, giving people an impression of calm reliability.

When the mechanic hurriedly found him and showed him the photo of the handprint,

Li Ming’s expression was initially confused,

Then became serious.

He took the smartphone and carefully examined the few photos,

Unable to stop himself from frowning deeply.

These were clearly not typical stains or scratches but a clear handprint, deeply embedded into the train’s metal shell.

The handprint’s details were also distinct, with all five fingers.

It was as if someone had grabbed the shell of the train at some point, and that incredibly powerful strength was instantly fixed in place.

The edges of the handprint were slightly blurred, suggesting that the metal had undergone a slight deformation under enormous pressure.

Moreover, the handprint as a whole seemed to have been pressed down again extra hard, erasing any patterns that could contain information such as fingerprints or palm lines.

Most shocking were these additional traces of smoothing over,

As if for the individual who left the handprint, the train shell’s metal was like playdough that could be kneaded at will.

That casual, effortless degree, just like stepping on fresh cement and then haphazardly filling and smoothing it back over with more cement.

The train’s metal shell, at that moment, seemed so easily manipulated.

This situation was something Li Ming had never encountered in his many years of career.

"This... What on earth is happening?"

Li Ming muttered to himself in a low voice.

He handed the smartphone back to the mechanic and turned to him, asking, "What do you think... at what time did this handprint appear?"

The mechanic nodded and replied, "Conductor, I just noticed it during the routine inspection. The last check was at Shucheng Station, and there was no handprint at that time, so it must have occurred during this period."

"Moreover, this handprint looks like someone pressed down hard, but how is that possible? Our train’s shell is made of high-strength materials," said the mechanic.

A look of confusion and shock crossed his face, just as when he first discovered the handprint.

Modern high-speed trains, including EMUs and bullet trains, primarily use light yet high-strength metal materials, with aluminum alloys being the most common.

If similar ammunition were to hit the metal shell of a train, especially those made from stainless steel or high-strength aluminum alloy, they would typically exhibit considerable resilience.

For example, stainless steel’s hardness and strength are sufficient to withstand the firing of most conventional weapons without being penetrated. As for aluminum alloys, while they may not be as hard as stainless steel, their alloy treatment still provides adequate protection.

And under normal circumstances, humans cannot press a handprint into this metal shell.

The metal train shell’s thickness and hardness are sufficient to resist conventional physical forces, and even a very strong human cannot leave a noticeable indentation or handprint on it.

If there truly was a handprint-shaped indentation, this would typically mean that the body of the train had been subjected to forces beyond the norm, such as a severe collision or destruction caused by extreme natural disasters.

Scientifically speaking, this would require a significant amount of strength, far beyond the capability of ordinary humans.

But if indeed an indentation had formed on the metal shell, then this clearly was not a normal phenomenon and might involve some special external force or unknown event, requiring further professional investigation and analysis to draw conclusions.

Li Ming pondered for a moment before deciding, "We must investigate this. Although I don’t think it will affect the structural safety of the train, we can’t overlook any potential problems. I will contact the dispatch center immediately, report this abnormal event, and request a professional team to conduct a detailed inspection at the next stop."

Immediately, Li Ming took out his communication device and started to contact the dispatch center to explain the situation’s seriousness and urgency.

He requested that the dispatch center notify the technical staff at the next stop to be ready for a quick and simple inspection of the train.

At the same time, he also directed the mechanic to closely monitor the train’s operational status, ensuring safety during the journey.

Under Li Ming’s command, the staff of G1218 train performed their duties in an organized manner, each executing their own responsibilities methodically.

And the news relevant to the train,

Was promptly synchronized to both the dispatch center and the railway police in this era of networks.

The dispatch center reacted swiftly,

Realizing that this was an extraordinary situation. Regardless of how the handprint came to be, they could preliminarily infer that someone had tampered with the train, requiring professional assessment and handling.

The operator immediately notified the technical department and organized a professional team composed of experienced engineers and technicians to conduct a detailed on-site inspection at the next stop for the G1218 train.

The technical team was equipped with advanced detection instruments and tools, prepared to perform a comprehensive inspection of the train’s metal shell, including the use of non-destructive testing techniques such as ultrasonic flaw detection and magnetic particle inspection to assess whether the metal structure in the handprint area had been damaged.

They were also equipped with precision measuring tools to measure the depth and shape of the handprint, as well as to analyze microscopic changes in the metal surface.
