Chapter 1030 Historic Discovery
I held the ball easily, and the expected scene of being bounced away did not happen.
But when he tried to move the ball, the unnatural resistance made him stunned for a moment.
There is no gravity in the universe, but the inertia of matter itself makes it resist changes in its state of motion. Liu Qingpeng looked at the ball differently. The feeling coming from his right hand was as if it was not a ball the size of a fist, but a meteorite that could only be embraced by several people.
"What the hell is this? Why is it so heavy?"
Cursing to himself, Liu Qingpeng took out a mass analyzer from his waist that looked somewhat similar to a subway security inspection tool, and tapped the sphere hard.
A muffled sound of "swinging" reached his ears along the spacesuit. The ball only moved slightly and slowly floated to the other side of the spacecraft. At this moment, the mass analyzer recorded parameters such as the reaction force and action time, as well as the micro-element change value of the ball's speed, and calculated the mass of the ball.
When Liu Qingpeng saw clearly the data fed back to his helmet by the mass analyzer, his eyes nearly bulged out.
"One hundred kilograms? How is that possible? How dense can such a big thing weigh one hundred kilograms? It's impossible even if it's made of osmium metal..."
The relative atomic mass of osmium is 190, and its constituent metals are currently the heaviest metals known in nature. He immediately realized that he might have discovered something extraordinary. If possible, he would like to report his findings to the ground command center as soon as possible, but at this moment, he is in a communication shielded area, so he can't do it even if he wants to.
Controlling the airflow at the nozzle, Liu Qingpeng slowly floated over and held the ball in his arms. When he got close to the bulkhead, he jumped on the bulkhead of the ball and kicked his legs, then he held the ball and flew towards the break of the aircraft shell.
Carefully avoiding the sharp iron bars, he returned to space. Turning on the road sign in the helmet and locking the position of the electric ray A-1, he opened the output power of the nozzle to the maximum and pushed the ball weighing more than 100 kilograms to fly in the direction of the electric ray.
With a treasure weighing more than 100 kilograms hanging on his body, Liu Qingpeng flew very slowly because he was worried that the nitrogen remaining in the spacesuit would not be enough to "brake". When he arrived, it only took him less than a quarter of an hour, and he floated for more than a month. Hour.
He put the ball into the cockpit of the electric ray and carefully fixed it in the storage compartment behind the seat. He immediately turned on the navigator and set the departure route according to the data returned by the previous quantum computer.
However, at this moment, the red signal light lit up on the operation interface.
"Warning, the quality parameters have changed, and the remaining energy is insufficient to enter the return orbit. Please reduce the load on the aircraft and restart the navigation system."
Liu Qingpeng's heart skipped a beat and he almost forgot about the terrifying quality of the ball. More than one hundred kilograms, already equivalent to the weight of an adult and a half.
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth, reached out to the platform on the right side of the seat, opened the safety with his hand, reached out and grabbed a pull ring, and pulled hard.
With a slight tremor, the two laser cannons located under the Electric Ray A-1 separated from the fuselage, and the attack module worth tens of millions of new dollars was just abandoned in space. As for whether it was worth it, he could only leave it to his superiors to decide.
The signal light was still flashing red, and the cold electronic sound was still so inhumane.
"Please pilots reduce the load on board."
Seeing that the load of the remaining five kilograms exceeded the limit, Liu Qingpeng was sweating profusely.
"Young man holding grass and peat, isn't it enough to throw away all the attack modules? By the way, there are also magazines..."
He had thrown away the laser cannon, and he didn't feel too worried if he threw another magazine. The two box-shaped weapon power supply modules were left behind, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the load excess value had finally returned to zero. If he wanted to throw it again, he really couldn't think of anything else to throw except throwing himself out.
After restarting the navigator, setting the route, and waiting for the electric ray to gradually leave the communication shielding area, he immediately reopened the communication device on the spacecraft.
"This is Electric Ray A-1, calling the command center. Please reply when you receive it..."
…
"...This is the command center. We have received it. Navigator No. 01 will continue to serve you."
The command center, which had been at an emotional low due to the loss of contact with Electric Ray A-1, erupted into cheers as contact was restored. Not long ago, several space experts were still debating whether his loss of contact was due to a communication failure or an attack by a UFO.
But now it seems that these arguments are unnecessary.
The quantum computer calculated the return trajectory as quickly as possible, and the navigator immediately sent the latest trajectory data to the hero who was tens of millions of kilometers away, guiding him on his way home.
At the same time, the approximately 1G photo taken by Liu Qingpeng on the spherical UFO was transmitted back to the ground command center along with the restored communication channel. These valuable information happened to prove Kerwin's previous guess that the UFO was indeed the work of an extraterrestrial civilization.
This historic discovery is in no way inferior to the great geographical discoveries of several centuries ago. What people have been debating for almost a century can finally be concluded - we are not alone.
It is almost foreseeable that if these photos are released to the international community, there will undoubtedly be an earthquake of unprecedented scale in various fields. However, this is only if Star Ring Trading will never disclose these photos. All data will be treated as top secret and will be kept for at least fifty years unless an accident occurs.
"Mr. Minister, please take a look at this."
Kerwin's assistant walked next to him and handed him a printed photo.
"This is?" Kerwin frowned slightly, picked up the photo and looked at it for a moment.
In the center of the photo is a small ball, with its size, quality and other information marked next to it. When he saw the data behind the column about quality, he was slightly stunned, looked at his assistant with a strange expression, and tapped the photo with the back of his hand.
"Did this unit make a mistake? One hundred kilograms? How is this possible?"
"There is no error in the data... Although I thought he had made a mistake in the measurement at first, he insisted that he did not make a mistake in the measurement."
"Then how did he start the acceleration?" Kerwin looked at his assistant and asked suspiciously, "If I remember correctly, the Electric Ray X-1 series aircraft, except for the C-1 cargo type, all have weight limits. of."
"He threw away the two laser cannons under the spacecraft and the power supply module used as the magazine." The assistant swallowed and said seriously, "If this is not a cover-up trick by aliens... we may have discovered something. A new substance that has never been seen or imagined."
"You keep an eye on this for me, and I'll make a call."
Kerwin was obviously aware of this, and after temporarily leaving the command to his assistant, he walked towards the door without saying a word.
As he walked, he rolled up his sleeves, tapped his wrist twice, and called Jiang Chen's office. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
