Chapter 460 Other meteorites
Chen Chen fell asleep peacefully in the arms of his sister Chen Ying, and at about the same time, in a laboratory in a research institute in the imperial capital thousands of miles away, there was still bright lights.
The chief researcher Professor Chu stayed alone in the lounge of his laboratory, lying on a wide sofa with his eyes closed, waiting for news from his students.
At around 10:20 pm, the laboratory door was pushed open, and a young man in a hurry walked in quickly, carrying an aluminum alloy suitcase.
"Teacher! I've brought the stuff back! This time I'm particularly big, and the metal content is visually high."
Professor Chu said absent-mindedly, after hearing the young man's voice:
"Lin Hai is back. Thank you for your hard work. Put the things on the testing table. Also, I have said several times. Don't be so panicked. People in their twenties still can't hold on..."
The young man Lin Hai didn't care about Professor Chu's complaints at all. He put the suitcase on the table, walked over quickly, helped Professor Chu stand up, took his glasses over, and brought them to the professor:
"I know everything you said to the mentor, but the meteorite this time is really special. Maybe your long-standing topic will be able to make a breakthrough today."
Professor Chu shook his head helplessly: "Lin Hai, you are always too optimistic. How can this matter be so easy? I have been doing it for most of my life and still have nothing to gain.
"Forget it, I won't hurt your enthusiasm anymore. Let me tell you first, what are the differences between this meteorite?"
Lin Hai helped Professor Chu to the workbench and said while opening the box:
"You see, this meteorite is not only large, but also more like a piece of peeling off a large metal structure than the common meteorite."
Listening to his students and looking at the meteorite, Professor Chu's eyes lit up:
"Take it out first and go to the measuring table to measure the data..."
"Okay!" Lin Hai took his gloves after listening to the professor's instructions, stretched out his hands, held the meteorite and prepared to take it out. But he found that the box containing the meteorite also rose up.
Looking at this, Professor Chu smiled: "I said, you guy, have you applied glue to the meteorite?"
"No..." Lin Hai looked at the box and meteorite in his hand with confusion, grabbed the meteorite with one hand and broke the box with the other, trying to break the box and meteorite apart.
"I definitely won't apply glue to it, but it's strange why they stick together..."
After Lin Hai broke it a few times, the box was deformed, but the meteorite and the box were still completely stuck together, and there was no sign of looseness.
Professor Chu also began to be a little surprised. Although he was a student, he was a little reckless in his work, he was not stupid at all.
On the contrary, he is actually very smart, so he likes him very much, and leaves everything to him and teaches him more.
"Teacher, wait a moment, I'll find a tool to pry him open..." Lin Hai said, put down the box and the meteorite, searched around the laboratory, and found two stainless steel pipes.
Insert the stainless steel pipe into the bond between the meteorite and the box, and prepare to pry it out.
But Lin Hai just inserted the stainless steel tube into it, and before he could use force, he felt the tube in his hand suddenly soft.
Then, he watched the steel pipe in his hand gradually softened at a speed visible to the naked eye, slowly fitting on the meteorite.
Then less than a minute later, the melted steel pipes, like water seeping into the earth, melted directly with the meteorite and completely disappeared.
When the change happened, Professor Chu and Lin Hai were completely stunned.
The two of them watched the entire change without blinking.
After waiting for the liquid after the melted stainless steel pipe to completely disappear, Lin Hai screamed suddenly, and involuntarily took a few steps back, almost sat on the ground, and then jumped up and shouted:
"Damn...damn...damn...damn...what is this situation! What is this! He assimilated the steel pipe! That's the steel pipe! Teacher, what is this!"
Professor Chu was also very excited at this time. Although he forced himself to remain calm, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
He trembled and reached out to take out the handkerchief, wiped the glasses, and put them on him trembledly.
Professor Chu wiped his glasses, forced himself to suppress his excitement, and said to his student Lin Hai:
"What the hell is called! We have always been waiting for this thing?
"Every day, measure the appearance data at a few damn stones, then detect the magnetic field and test the components.
"It's like this every day, every year. Although I have obtained a lot of rock components from the moon, Mars, and the asteroid belt, I want these rock components to be useful!
“They never showed up when we really want something!
"Today, today is different. At the beginning, I got a surprise. You kid is worthy of being my lucky star!
"Don't be stupid, bring a few steel pipes or other materials over, and then prepare the video recorder. Let's take a comprehensive test of this...this thing."
"Uh... OK..." Lin Hai agreed blankly, and according to the usual experimental inspection methods, he began to prepare various materials and instruments and began to observe the meteorite.
Because they were too excited, both of them were completely sleepy and were busy until dawn the next day, and then they sorted out a simple test report.
Meteorite No. 17082303.
Dimensions: 19.3 cm * 15.1 cm * 10.7 cm.
Components: Because of its characteristics, it cannot be identified for the time being. It is initially judged that it is about 70% iron, about 10% aluminum, about 10% silicon, and some other elements.
Characteristics: It can quickly absorb high-purity iron elements. The higher the purity, the faster the absorption rate, but compounds that cannot absorb iron and cannot absorb any kind of iron ore.
It can absorb high-purity aluminum elements. The higher the purity, the faster the absorption rate, but the overall speed is more than 100 times slower than the absorption rate of iron elements.
Similarly, compounds that cannot absorb aluminum ores cannot absorb aluminum ores.
Other metal elements have slight reactions and cannot be absorbed at present.
When absorbing iron or aluminum, meteorites will generate special magnetic fields, and their strength is related to the absorption speed.
After absorbing 100 grams of iron, the mass itself increases by about 80 grams.
After absorbing 100 grams of aluminum, the mass itself increases by about 40 grams.
The weight that disappears is currently unable to detect what form it has been converted into.
