In the laboratories of the seven institutes, a group of experts and professors gathered around the table in the middle, staring at a small object on the table.

It was a transparent cube about a centimeter square, and inside the cube was a silver-gray metal object the size of a grain of rice, also boxy.

That's what they've worked so hard to get here.

The box that was opened was placed on one side with a few words written on it:

"Don't dismantle, danger, trust me!"

Seeing these words, Qingzhong Yang wanted to scold his mother, whose bad taste is this!

I used to think it was the bad taste of Nanming, but now it seems that these bear children have learned badly one by one.

"Is there only this one thing, nothing else?

Qingzhong Yang rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Lu of Lazy God Special Industry said, this is the sample. ”

"What is this?" the expert asked again.

"I want to ask you. Qingzhong Yang was about to roll his eyes even more.

Do you want to give you a set of supporting production processes?

"I think...... It's kind of like a diamond ......," a young researcher looked at the cube.

As soon as he said this, someone carefully took it out, took a magnifying glass and took a photo, and said, "It really looks like a diamond ......."

After two and a half hours of testing, the object, which looked and felt like a diamond, was identified.

It's just a diamond, but it's a little bit special.

"This thing, which looks like a diamond, is indeed a carbon element, but in fact it is a combination of man-made diamonds and carbon nanotubes to compensate for the fragility of diamonds and the poor stress capacity on some cleavage surfaces, which is a ......," said the deputy director.

"Speak human words. Qingzhong Yang was impatient. Where did he understand.

"Chief, you must have broken the glass, the section of the glass has very clear lines, sometimes there is a very smooth section, this is the cleavage plane, diamond has this characteristic, it is very fragile in some directions......"

Looking at Qingzhong Yang, he still had some doubts. He picked up the box next to it that read "Don't open it, danger, trust me", clumped up a ball of paper, stuffed it in, and closed the box, but the paper inside quickly broke open the box, so that the box could not be closed.

"The cleavage plane of a diamond is like the opening of a box, and it is not very compressive. Very easy to break away. ”

Then the deputy director took the transparent glue and wrapped it around the outside of the box, and the box finally stopped breaking open.

"This man-made diamond is like a layer of tape tied to the outside of a box that is easy to break open, and the people of Lazy God Technology have somehow fixed and strengthened a layer of highly isotropic carbon nanotubes on the outside of the diamond, completely encapsulating it. "The deputy director slurps the flowers. "Such a huge and pure man-made diamond, and the technology of this carbon nanotube. I've never seen it before, it's so advanced...... The combination of the two materials is basically the strongest material made by human beings at room temperature, and the attainments of Lazy God Technology in material science are breathtaking. ”

"That is, it took you two and a half hours. Just figured out that this is a diamond box?" Qingzhong Yang glared angrily, isn't this a waste of time?"I want to know what's inside!"

From the beginning, all he wanted to know was what was inside a diamond!

Who cares what the diamonds out there do?

The deputy director was speechless, he didn't know how to explain the scientist's thinking to Qingzhong Yang. They need to make bold assumptions, carefully verify, and confirm one before moving on to the next.

Moreover, they had just confirmed what was in it, and it was under great pressure, which was already a great progress.

"Chief, from the outside, it is a metal or an alloy inside, in fact, it is very simple to open it, a blowtorch can light it, but ......" The deputy director picked up the box with the words "Don't dismantle, danger, trust me!" again, they can't open it!

The melting point of a diamond is 6,900 degrees, which can be said to be very high, but in an aerobic environment, the ignition point of a diamond is only 800 degrees. A blowtorch will boil it.

But this is the only sample in their hands, and they can't yet afford to open it.

"Actually, we have a guess, but this guess is too unlikely, so ......," said the deputy director, "from the point of view of the need for carbon nanotube binding, this is a gas that takes on a metallic state at ultra-high pressure." ”

The deputy director paused and said, "As for what is inside, we need to conduct a more detailed analysis......

Qingzhong Yang Yixing was surprised, these people are really dead in ink, and they still have to study and study, why can't they be neat?

"Actually, chief, I have a guess that this may be ...... Hydrogenium. ”

In fact, this speculation was there long before Qingzhong Yang got back such a product.

When they opened the bulge, the bulge exploded, and the explosion produced a smell of water vapor, and they tested the residue of the explosion, and there was only one substance, water.

So the explosives should be hydrogen.

As a superconductor, there is only one theoretical product that does not exist on Earth - metallic hydrogen.

Theoretically, as long as the pressure is strong enough, any object can present a "metallic state", and hydrogen, as the most special existence in the universe - it is a proton itself, and its metallic state is the most difficult to make of all gases, and there are theories that there is metallic hydrogen in the core of gaseous planets such as Jupiter.

Metallic hydrogen, a kind of room-temperature superconductor, is also the best superconductor that can be found in human theory, and is the ultimate pursuit of superconducting technology.

After about five hours of testing, they finally confirmed the contents of the box.

"Now, we're 90 percent sure that there's hydrogen in the diamond box, maybe it's really metallic hydrogen. The deputy director came to report to Qingzhong Yang, and his face was defeated.

"Oh, that's great, knowing it's metallic hydrogen, can we build more superconductors?" said Qingzhong Yang with hope.

The deputy director opened his mouth to say something, but finally swallowed and swallowed.

"What are you doing?" Qingzhong Yang was furious, "Can it be built?"

"Although there is a 90 percent chance of metallic hydrogen, many of us think that it can't be metallic hydro......gen," said the deputy director, "because it is impossible for any country on earth to make metallic hydrogen with existing technology! Let alone such a large piece! Unless they land on Jupiter and bring metallic hydrogen back from Jupiter! To be honest, I would rather believe that they have been to Jupiter!"

Qingzhong Yang glared, this grain of rice is a big piece, can it still be considered a big piece?

……

Next door, Lazy God Special Industry, Lu Yeqian said: "Uncle Ming, did you say they figured out what it was?"

Nan Ming just wanted to answer, but the phone rang, and he shushed and said, "The call is here." ”

Picking up the phone, Qingzhong Yang's voice came: "Xiao Ming, what is this you gave me?"

"Metallic hydrogen. "Nan Ming Dao.

"You don't know these people are arguing like crazy, what the hell is this...... What? Is it really metallic hydrogen?"

"Yes, it's not a secret, you shouldn't be stupid to test it, why don't you just ask me?"

Qingzhong Yang: "......"

He wanted to kill.

"Isn't this thing impossible to make?" asked Qingzhong Yang patiently.

"Yes, do you want me to write you a process for making metallic hydrogen?" asked Nan Ming.

Five minutes later, Qingzhong Yang led a team of experts to Nanming to kill him.

Nan Ming took out a pen and wrote three lines on the paper:

"1. Fill the container with hydrogen. ”

"2. Pressurize the container to 500,000 atmospheres. ”

"3. Take the metallic hydrogen out of the container and isolate the air to maintain the pressure. ”

Then Nan Ming handed the note to Qingzhong Yang, and the deputy director next to him snatched the note away, and after looking at it, his complexion changed, why are you playing with people?

"Wait, I wrote it wrong. Nan Ming said suddenly, he beckoned to return the note, and then added another zero after 500,000.

Even if Qingzhong Yang didn't know how to make metallic hydrogen, he had a feeling of being tricked at this time, and when he saw the second step, he couldn't help but think of a joke.
