Autopsy 7019 by Vollebak
- Location:
One day, long after Vollebak no longer exists, and when everyone who is currently alive is long gone, an Indestructible Puffer will be dug up by humans as far removed from us as we are from Otzi the Iceman. And we will not be there to tell them what it is or why it was built.
Autopsy 7019 shows what things will look like when a human from the 21st century is dug up, 5,000 years later. The Indestructible Puffer stands a chance of surviving what humans can’t because it’s made from Dyneema – the single strongest fibre known to man today. An ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene that combines extreme strength with very low weight, on a weight for weight basis Dyneema is up to 15x stronger than steel. And unlike other high-strength materials it’s so light it floats on water, and it’s resistant to the long-term effects of moisture, UV light and chemicals.
On a long enough timescale, everything man has ever created will turn to dust. The Indestructible Puffer is designed to be one of the last.
