Chapter 1,096 Hadron Materials

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, if he hadn't tried to hold it with protective gloves, Jiang Chen would never have believed that this black sphere, which was only the size of a golf ball, actually weighed a hundred kilograms.

Standing close and looking closely, the surface of the black ball exudes a faint metallic luster, but its physical properties are completely different from those of metal. The smooth surface does not feel like metal, but rather like some kind of glass product.

After storing the black ball in the warehouse of Star Ring City, Jiang Chen immediately mobilized more than 20 experts from the materials science laboratory under the Future People Group to conduct three full days of research on the black ball from extraterrestrial civilization. experiment.

Unfortunately, even the world's top technical team is still helpless against this small ball.

Walking next to Jiang Chen, the leader of the research project team shook his head in shame, sighed and said, "Let alone analyze what kind of material this is, with our current technology, we can't even measure its elemental composition. .The only thing we can be sure of now is that the material of this black ball is quite strong and its surface is very smooth..."

His project team has tried every possible method, and no matter how hard they try, they can't make even a small hole in the little ball. Even the all-pervasive gamma rays couldn't pass through this small ball, and he really couldn't think of a way.

The only thing that is certain now is that this black ball is not dangerous, and it will be fine even if you touch it directly with your hands.

"What do you think this might be?" Jiang Chen asked.

The team leader hesitated for a moment and said: "I can't say clearly. If it's just a guess, I think there should be a gravity generating device inside this small ball that can compress more than a hundred kilograms of material into the size of a golf ball? Or? Say, this is the legendary strong interaction material? It is directly composed of countless hadrons and even quarks... But this is too science fiction."

As he spoke, the scientist shook his head and denied his guess before he finished speaking.

Someone once proposed the conjecture of materials with strong interaction force, but it doesn't make sense in theory... at least it doesn't make sense with the current theory. But if this thing is really a strong interaction material, then the civilization and technology that created it would be too scary.

To put it in layman's terms, one is still thinking about how to practice, while the other has already transcended tribulations and ascended...

"I suggest moving it from Halo City to the Coro Island Materials Laboratory, where there are more sophisticated instruments that you can try." The leader of the project team suggested to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen shook his head, "No, the research ends here, let your people stop first.

Maybe there is a problem with our thinking, I will think of other ways,"

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, the team leader's face looked a little ashamed, but he couldn't hold on any longer.

For three days, he and his project team wandered around this little ball for three full days! But it didn’t even produce any results! This made his face really uncomfortable. At this time, the boss tactfully said that he wanted to replace him with someone else to do the research, which was already a big favor for him.

In this way, the researcher from Koro Island returned to where he came from.

After the researchers evacuated with the equipment, Jiang Chen transferred dozens of soldiers from the military headquarters and sealed the warehouse where the black balls were stored. At the same time, he issued a death order that no one except himself was allowed to enter the warehouse.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chen majesticly changed the black ball, threw it into the storage space, took the space elevator back to the surface, said hello to Aisha, and traveled back to the apocalypse again.

…

After returning to the apocalypse, Jiang Chen immediately handed over the black ball to Lin Ling.

After integrating the technologies of two thousand sisters, this research institute composed of clones and cyborgs has become the most technologically advanced research institute in NAC. Unlike Vault 27, which focuses on applied technology, the research and development direction of this "Lin Research Institute" is mainly based on theory and cutting-edge technology.

It was perfect for Lin Ling to study the mystery of this black ball.

Although she was saying slanderous words, after seeing the black ball that Jiang Chen brought, Lin Ling put down her research on the portal and immediately devoted herself to the study of the mysterious object from extraterrestrial civilization. superior.

Jiang Chen was almost used to Lin Ling's venomous tongue.

He knew very well that no matter how unhappy the little girl looked on the surface and how unforgiving her words were, she was actually more enthusiastic than anyone else, but she was just too shy to show it. Jiang Chen rubbed Lin Ling's hair involuntarily, and while she protested angrily, Jiang Chen left the research institute.

He will stay on the side of the apocalypse these days, and will not return to the side of the present world to take charge of the overall situation until the end of the month.

Lin Ling's research speed exceeded Jiang Chen's expectations, at least much faster than he expected.

At noon on the third day, Jiang Chen was sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for Yao Yao to announce that dinner was ready, while chatting with Xiaorou who came over. At this moment, Lin Ling, who looked tired, opened the door to the living room and walked in, sitting down next to him.

"The results have come out. Just like my previous conjecture, the ball is indeed a strong interaction material, or hadron material for short."

In the same three days, the material science research team of Futureman Group didn't even get a foothold, but Lin Ling already had some clues, which really made Jiang Chen feel ashamed.

"Hadron material?" Sun Xiaorou tilted her head and glanced at Lin Ling and Jiang Chen in confusion.

"Well, it's very troublesome to explain," Lin Ling raised her hand to her forehead and sighed in confusion, "The strong interaction overcomes the strong repulsive force caused by the electromagnetic force, and all particles in the material are bonded together by the strong interaction force. . In short, this small ball is composed entirely of protons and neutrons that make up atoms, so there are no elements in the traditional sense. "

"In other words, that thing itself is a large atom?" Jiang Chen asked with a strange expression.

"Well, although there are flaws everywhere, it is worthy of praise that you can understand it to this extent with your superficial knowledge of physics - Ouch!" Before Lin Ling could finish her words, she exaggeratedly covered her forehead and said, He glared at Jiang Chen aggrievedly, "Why did you hit me? I wasn't wrong!"

Ignoring Lin Ling's aggrieved look, Jiang Chen took his hand back.

"Don't interrupt. What do you think it is? A battery? Or a weapon? Or a detector or something..."

"Neither." Lin Ling shook her head and scratched her hair in distress, "Or both. The trouble is that it is a hadronic material, and it is impossible to analyze its internal structure with existing technical means, or even pass through it. It can't even do it..."

But when she said this, Lin Ling's eyes suddenly lit up and she murmured to herself, "Wait, it's not impossible."

Sun Xiaorou tilted her head and looked at the two of them, still not understanding what they were muttering about. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
