From the back of the laptop's screen, a powerful laser scanner burst out. It was thin as a thread, almost invisible, but where it passed, the air shimmered faintly.
It began scanning in a straight line, from top to bottom, without stopping. Each beam of light was able to skim the inside of the machine, ignoring physical constraints, through a specific application of quantum tunneling.
Within a few seconds, the reading of data was done.
But no, it wasn't simply reading the data either.
Within seconds, all its contents were copied straight into storage, creating a new drive partition in the computer specifically for just that. Though since the memory capacity of the laptop was in Zettabytes, a mere 500 Petabytes couldn't even consume 1% of storage capacity.
Burning with curiosity, Axel didn't delay, accessing the drive, but...
