Chapter 18: Another Possibility

The message had just been spread.

After several large cars, they kicked up a cloud of dust, rushed all the way, and rushed towards their destination like crazy.

Mars is busy here, and Old Man Su on Earth also rushed to the company in person and blocked all the news.

He doesn't plan to leak too much until it's confirmed.

No one said drowsy, and no one cried out that they were tired.

Su Baichuan and several others tied the piece of natural superconductor mineral in the pit with a rope, and the two cars used force at the same time to drag it out.

Together with some crushed scraps, a total of nearly eleven tons of superconductor ore were found in the vicinity, scattered within a radius of several kilometers.

A temporary small base was quickly set up, and according to Old Man Su's meaning, it was said that it was to hold a small party to avoid being photographed by artificial satellites outside Mars that they were gathered together, and then associated with something.

In fact, this is just a superfluous move, the bald eagle project has been cut to one out of ten, leaving only some biomedical research, as well as the exploration of precious minerals on Mars, which can't be saved, who still has the heart to care about the affairs of the God of War base?

Su Beidou learned from his father, and shone on the ore with a flashlight, with a crystal feeling like black jade, mixed with many impurities.

Originally, a large chunk of such a superconductor meteorite fell to Earth.

The Su family got the largest one, and after discovering its room temperature superconductivity properties, they grabbed some for research at the first time, and afterwards the price of a gram of purified natural superconductors was raised to 35 to 500,000 US dollars, the US dollars in the thirties!

Even so, it has attracted many institutions, universities, and enterprises to rush wildly, and no one wants to sell them to the outside world!

Attempts have been made to unravel the secrets of its existence, let alone mass production, and there may be a figure out how to synthesize this room-temperature superconductor in the future, but so far, there is still no clue.

At present, the only way to obtain it is to mine it directly, and it has not moved for more than ten years, but I didn't expect this thing to suddenly appear on Mars again......

Hours passed quickly, and as the scope of the investigation expanded, the worst fears seemed to come true.

Several small holes were drilled more than ten meters deep, and as usual, they were just ordinary Martian rocks and soil, and there were no traces of natural superconductor minerals.

And judging from the mineral fragments scattered around, it is obvious that the characteristics of a meteorite impact are present, because the wind and sand in the ravine are large, and they are gradually buried.

This is very bad news.

As the number of people increased, the search area expanded, and a relatively large block was found two kilometers away, like the previous ones, with the same high-temperature burning traces of coking, still very new, without any signs of weathering, almost certain that it was a meteorite.

Many people didn't sleep well that night.

Su Baichuan thought that God must be joking with himself, giving him hope, and then despairing.

Since humans first set foot on Mars, they have been looking for it for more than ten years, and I thought I had finally found it, but I didn't expect it to be just over ten tons!

What is enough?

Build some cars, get some high-performance computers, research and research, build some new machines, and it's almost gone.

Although some wonderful little things can be born in the laboratory, they are limited by raw materials, and it is almost impossible to produce them on a large scale.

Some people don't want to believe this result, and they still drill around to find it, and after the depth increases, it is still the same, either stone or dirt.

When he woke up, Su Beidou saw that his father was still writing and drawing on the flexible screen, this thing can be rolled up when not in use, and when it is opened, it is the screen, which displays the map of Mars, and you can also see the location of the base marked with the red triangle, densely packed around, especially on the side of the ravine, the whole is marked with a small red dot, and the location will be marked every time it is drilled in recent years.

Except for the farther away, everything else has been searched, and the pile that has just been discovered can already be determined to be foreign objects, which are incompatible with the surrounding physical environment.

"There's no hope of finding it again?" asked Su Beidou as he walked over.

He is not used to calling Su Baichuan "Dad", he always feels weird, and at the same time, he doesn't like this guy to hug him, if you want to say that father and son are affectionate, in fact, there is an invisible line between them.

Fortunately, Daddy Su has a stable personality and is not good at sociability, and as his son grows up day by day, he has been away for a long time, but he doesn't feel that anything is wrong.

Looking up at his son, Father Su said "um" and continued: "Why don't you sleep yet, there is a noise that disturbs you?"

"No, I slept too long in the morning and just woke up again. ”

Su Beidou wanted to figure out the current situation, so he changed the topic and asked: "I heard Sister Zhang say that those black stones are just meteorites, and Dad, your job is to find them on Mars, right, what should I do next, continue to look for them?"

"Both times it was a meteorite, and I think it's probably the wrong direction, maybe I should try the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Daddy Su's mind was not on his son, as if he was answering Su Beidou's question, but it seemed to be talking to himself.

With a tap of his finger, he found a video data, which was the model data of the asteroid with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers and the Mars passing by.

The two stars almost collided and narrowly escaped the catastrophe, and soon after, a natural superconductor meteorite fell on Earth.

Regardless of his son's side, he began to calculate the time it takes for a meteorite to fly from the asteroid belt to the earth, and all kinds of messy lines and data soon appeared on the flexible screen.

Because of today's discovery, Su Baichuan always felt that he had missed something important.

Su Beidou sat in the driver's seat, dozed off after being bored for a while, and could see an irregular point of light moving in his sight, which soon dimmed again.

He was bored, and asked in a low voice: "I remember you said that Phobos was captured by the gravity of Mars and then became a satellite of Mars, so why did the asteroid you mentioned during the day pass through the side without being captured by the gravity of Mars?"

"The speed is too fast, the mass is large, it exceeds the speed of the third universe, and what is even more terrifying is that it is too dark, no one will find it before it gets close to the solar system, if it hits the earth, the whole human race will have to finish playing, then the technology is still relatively backward, fortunately, it is just rubbing Mars past." ”

Daddy Su straightened his waist, and he happened to see the Phobos, and his expression was stunned, and he didn't know what he remembered.

After a moment, the whole eye widened.

Immediately called the telescope in orbit of Mars to observe the Phobos orbiting Mars at high speed, and contacted the Earth, asking them to help find the data collected by the company with a drone in the early 40s......
