Chapter 1,098 Martians?
Being looked at by Jiang Chen with scorching eyes, Lin Ling shivered subconsciously, and her tone became a little weaker unconsciously.
"You, what do you want to do?"
"Is there any way to imitate this kind of hadronic material?" Jiang Chen asked eagerly.
Lin Ling was stunned for a moment, then her little head shook like a rattle.
"It's very difficult, almost impossible."
"Is it still difficult with antimatter?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"Antimatter has a theoretical basis in the last century. By the middle of this century, the theory has matured and can even be prepared on a large scale. However, there has been no major breakthrough in magnetic confinement technology, and there are also restrictions from the Scientific Ethics Committee, which have led to no expansion. That final kick."
Speaking of this, Lin Ling shook her head with a wry smile, "However, until before the war, the so-called hadronic materials were still something in science fiction novels. Let alone the theoretical basis, they didn't even touch the door."
"Is there no way at all?" Jiang Chen asked unwillingly.
"It's not that there is no way..." Lin Ling touched her chin and looked at the black ball placed in the center of the laboratory with embarrassment, "I can try it, but there is no guarantee that it will succeed... Why do you suddenly do this to me?" Are you interested in something? Even if you can barely make it a little bit, it won’t be of much use if you can’t produce it on a large scale.”
"Can't we do large-scale production?" Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, "Can't we do it even if we understand its production conditions?"
This time Lin Ling was stunned.
When she came back to her senses, she glanced at Jiang Chen suspiciously, "You're not planning to use hadron materials to build a warship, are you?"
"is it not OK?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's "innocent" speech, Lin Ling sighed, raised her forehead and said.
"If you think about it carefully, how did the pilot you sent get into the UFO and take out the small ball from it?"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, recalling the situation that the pilot named Liu Qingpeng described to him.
"There is a break on the outer shell of the aircraft that looks like it was hit by a meteorite. He came from..."
Only halfway through speaking, Jiang Chen had already reacted and his expression couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Yes, since meteorites can break open the outer shell of an aircraft, there is no doubt that the UFO was not made of hadron material.
Even the "advanced civilizations" that have mastered hadron materials for who knows how many years cannot produce this material on a large scale. What about the earth's civilization that has not even touched the door?
As soon as he heard that mass production was impossible, Jiang Chen's interest in this thing suddenly dropped by half, and he sighed.
"Do your best. Your research direction is still focused on antimatter and portals."
Although he was very reluctant to give up, his reason told Jiang Chen that if he was too distracted by this hadronic material, he would lose more than he gained.
As for this black ball, let’s just leave it here for now. Jiang Chen estimated that even if he took him back to the present world, the material scientists would be so indifferent that they would just leave it in the laboratory to eat dust. It's better to leave it here with Lin Ling, just in case one day she or her sisters come up with something new.
"Actually, you don't need to be so pessimistic. Perhaps compared to the hadron material, there are more secrets in this black ball worth exploring. After all, this is a relic of an advanced civilization. It is much higher than any harmonious civilization. The civilization we went to is made of hadronic materials. There is no reason for it to be just a decoration..."
While speaking to Jiang Chen in a rare comforting tone, Lin Ling took the tablet and clicked on it a few times. Soon, the platform on which the black ball was placed slowly sank and was taken into the laboratory warehouse.
"Stop looking, let's go."
After patting Jiang Chen's back, Lin Ling walked towards the elevator.
…
Seventy kilometers east of the Mars colony, a Mars rover was parked on this endless sand dune.
Today is a rare day of good weather, and the surface temperature is above freezing.
Wearing a heavy space suit, Wang Qiang led the captain and engineer to Mine Point 071, where he discovered something interesting last time. In front of the captain, Wang Qiang measured three sets of waveforms again to prove his findings.
Pointing to the image on the tablet, Wang Qiang said with a serious expression.
"The depth is about five kilometers and the thickness is about one hundred meters. I dare to conclude that there must be something buried in it."
"Iron ore?" Kasim asked with a frown after glancing at the waveform chart on the tablet.
As an engineer in the colony, he was mainly responsible for equipment maintenance and colony expansion. He knew nothing about mining exploration. He didn't think there was anything wrong with those intersecting wave curves at all.
However, Hong Zewei, who was standing next to him, saw something unusual. As the captain of the colonial ship and the temporary executive officer of the colony, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the most knowledgeable person in the entire colony. Because of work requirements, he has to know a little bit about all aspects of knowledge. Even if he is not good at it, he must at least understand it.
He is a layman in mining exploration, but he can read geological information waveforms. When he saw those waveforms distorted with incredible amplitude, the expression on his face suddenly became wonderful.
"It can't be iron ore. It's impossible for any rock formation or mineral deposit to produce such a wave curve." Wang Qiang shook his head and said to Kesim.
Kasim suddenly became happy and grinned.
"Not any mineral deposits? What could that be? An alien tomb?"
Wang Qiang closed his mouth and said nothing.
At this time, Captain Hong Zewei spoke.
"Maybe... maybe it's really an alien mausoleum."
Kasim looked at the captain with a ghostly expression, which was indescribably weird.
"Alien? Hong, are you sure you're not kidding?"
When these colonists set out, the X2 bacterial incident had not yet occurred, the Outer Space Security Summit had not yet been held, and aliens were still a strange or whimsical word to them.
Of course, if they can access the Internet on Mars, they will not be surprised by the word alien. Now all countries are very busy with the matter of extraterrestrial civilization. Governments of various countries are busy extinguishing public opinion and discussing countermeasures, but they who are still pioneering on Mars have not received any news.
"Are you kidding? Maybe it's not a mausoleum down there, but maybe an alien city." Hong Zewei glanced at the white man jokingly, "Have you seen Starship Troopers? Maybe there are bugs living down there, right now. Maybe it’s about to crawl out and bite us.”
"Fake! Don't scare me." Kasim shuddered, glanced at his feet, and cursed.
"What do you think about drilling a hole down there? Can it be done?" Wang Qiang looked at Kasim and asked.
"Aha, you must be wondering if you can drill a hole five kilometers deep? I'm sorry to tell you that there is no such equipment in the colony cabin. Even if there is, don't even think about it!" Kesim said vigorously Shaking his head, he used a warning tone, "Listen, I will not accompany you to death! Unless the command center sends soldiers to protect our safety, don't expect me to help you do such stupid things."
"You shouldn't scare him." Wang Qiang looked at Hong Zewei and said with a bitter smile in dialect.
"Who knew he would take it seriously?" The captain made a helpless expression, "What's more, what he said makes sense. There are not even decent weapons in the colony. If there is really danger down there, we can't even resist."
Originally Hong Zewei was just joking, but now he began to murmur in his heart. What if Martian creatures are hiding underground? No one can guarantee that this is not possible! Four billion years ago, Mars was more like the Earth than the Earth.
When Columbus first set foot on the American continent, he didn't think that all people had hair on them, until they met the indigenous people with chicken feathers in their hair.
After all, twenty lives are at stake, so it's better to be careful.
"Then what should we do now?" Wang Qiang looked at the captain and asked, "Just leave it here and ignore it?"
"Let's go back to the colony cabin first. I will report it to the command center later and ask them to bring drilling equipment to the next colony ship. Then I will ask if I can get a few soldiers. Damn it, I'll do it myself. I’m a little scared.” (To be continued.) Activate new URL
