Chapter 53: The Disappearing Quality

Although it is not difficult to determine the components contained in meteorite substances, it is indeed a relatively tedious task. Fortunately, this work was originally done by Nai Chen at Tsinghua University, so he is quite skilled.

At this time, only Hara Shichen and Durunik were left in the No. 1 Super Laboratory.

Andre went back to his laboratory early in the morning. Not long after, Philip and Amanda also gave up the urgent work to deal with, and then disappeared.

"SHIT, we actually asked us to do these miscellaneous work, and then we went to the lab to have coffee." Durunik complained while doing the work.

There is no way. Compared with Philip and Amanda, Durunik and Yuan Shichen are both newcomers and rookies, and these tedious tasks naturally fall on them.

Yuan Shichen naturally had a lot of complaints about this, but he was a person who could not express his emotions. These small things were not worthy of his anger. Just think of it as a reminiscing about his college years.

To measure the composition of a meteorite, you generally have to first determine the type of meteorite. Although the measurement details of the Black Porcelain meteorite analyzed by Durunik and the pure rosy-aphazed Mars meteorite analyzed by Yuan Naichen are different in terms of measurement details, the overall work flow is still basically similar.

They all have to carefully sample different parts of the meteorite, then group, grind, or even fuse the samples in each group. Then, with the help of various advanced spectral analysis instruments, analyze and determine the samples of each group one by one to obtain the content of the main substance element components. Finally, the measurement results of all different groups must be compared and the most accurate conclusions are drawn through analysis.

After spending several days on the sacred and Durunik, the results of the sacred meteorite composition measurement finally came out...

"Sadly, Mr. Andre, the results of our measurements are not much different from those measured by previous research institutions." Durunik said disappointedly.

Indeed, [Qingchen Meteorite] has been in several world-class research institutions before. Even if the scientists there are not as good as the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance), they are definitely not vegetarian. They must have spent a lot of effort on the basic work of meteorite composition determination, but the results are just like those measured by Durunik and Yuan Shichen this time, and there is no valuable information.

"If we don't gain anything from the perspective of component analysis, we have to start from the composition structure of each element..." Andrei thought, and at this time he felt a little nervous. Just this morning, Frank was urging him to get the result as soon as possible, saying that the top management of the base was putting pressure on the special project team again.

"I said, Philip, Amanda, hurry up and stop all the other work you have in your hands. The top leaders of the base are urging us again today." Andre seemed to have thought of something and said with a gloomy face.

"Okay, we understand." Philip and Amanda certainly understand that Andre is blaming them both for not being careful about the research project and being paddling.

Meanwhile, in the far Indian Ocean in the Litria Islands, an office at the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance) Indian Ocean base.

"Commander Roland, today I received news from the Pacific Base."

The person speaking was a middle-aged Indian man with dark skin, who was reporting to a middle-aged woman of Indo-European descent who was charming and exotic.

"How is the progress of meteorite research?" asked the middle-aged woman with a charming appearance.

"The meteorites are now in the special project team of the Pacific Base Astrophysics Institute, but they seem to have not made any substantial progress."

"Oh, is there any more detailed information?"

"Commander Roland, according to the news I received, the Pacific Base has only completed the confirmation of the meteorite composition. However, the results of the determination are the same as those of previous research institutions, and there is no valuable clue."

"What a pity. If the meteorite was in my hands, it would be very different. Why didn't I think of further investigating this meteorite before?" The charming middle-aged woman showed an expression of regret on her face.

"Sumite, you continue to pay attention to the research work of meteorites. Report to me immediately if there is any progress! Go down."

"Yes, Commander Roland."

Pacific Ocean, Cocolas Island, IEA Pacific Base, Astrophysics Institute, Super Laboratory No. 1.

Feeling the pressure, Philip and Amanda finally began to take the research on the Neichen meteorite seriously.

"The bosses of the base are currently concerned about the issue of ancient life." French scientist Philip was picking up a sample of the black baolu meteorite and putting it in front of him for careful observation.

"We should spend more energy on the Black Purple Meteorite and analyze the magnetite crystal structure formed by super bacteria." Amanda suggested.

"I can't ask for it, Amanda, stop the measurement of the main part of the meteorite and let's get the Black Purple Meteorite together." Durunik said happily, wishing someone could share his work.

"Okay, Chinese guy, let's stop studying the main part of the meteorite first and help them." Amanda agreed.

Subsequently, the four began to conduct research and analysis on the magnetite crystal structure in the Heibaolu meteorite.

"These are the ingredient reports I have measured in the past few days. Please refer to them first." Durunik said while sharing the relevant data to other people's computers.

"We will study the whole of magnetite and the structure between molecules, including the chemical bonds inside the molecules..."

After assigning the work, Yuan Shichen turned on the computer. All the scientists, including Durunik, had previously presented the components analysis data of the Black Porcelain meteorite.

The main components of meteorites: 56% magnetite, 7% nickel, and the others are non-earth minerals;

Main components: iron (81.1%), nickel (7.1%), oxygen (5.1%), aluminum (2.4), silicon (1.4%), magnesium (1.1%), copper (0.8%), sodium (0.3%), calcium (0.2%), phosphorus (0.1%) 16 sulfur (0.1%), vanadium (0.05%), manganese (0.05%)...

"The types and proportions of elements measured several times are basically the same." Harashi Chen quickly browsed the test information recorded in the computer, and his brain was also quickly analyzing these boring data. "These are data obtained using spectral analysis."

"Some people actually used titration methods to measure the main elemental components of meteorites one by one, so they were really patient."

After browsing the last set of data determined by the titration method, Yuan Shichen suddenly felt that there seemed to be some less natural places in all the data.

"What's the problem?"

In addition to the results other than the titration method, the results of the other sets of data are similar, and Yuan Naichen has conducted multiple tests on each set of data, which is also reasonable.

Yuan Shichen closed his eyes and pondered. With his amazing memory, all the data quickly appeared in his mind, and arranged them in an orderly manner, constantly crossing and comparing horizontally and vertically.

Soon, Yuan Shichen locked in the problem - the quality of the reverse push was wrong, and some of the mass in the sample disappeared out of thin air!
