Chapter 653: Active Metals
Now, it can only be proven that this translucent crystal is "alive" and is still trying to contact someone in the form of light waves.
But it can't be proven that it's really an alien creature.
But what would it be if it wasn't an alien creature?
At least in the knowledge that Li Ang had learned in the past, there was no knowledge related to this crystal.
However, judging from Xiao Yue's excited expression, she really hoped that this crystal could attract some alien so that she could come into contact with the real alien civilization.
"Anything else?"
Ang Lee asked, trying to get rid of his "bad" thoughts completely, or maybe there could be some good news.
The excitement on Xiao Yue's face subsided, and she called out softly, "Yue Ling." ”
The room suddenly brightened, occupied by a pale green glow, and the translucent crystals hanging in the air were magnified countless times.
Ang Lee felt as if he was in the middle of a boundless void.
The green light began to move rapidly, coming to the place where light and darkness met.
"What is this?" Ang Lee asked curiously.
"It's dying." Xiao Yue said gloomily.
Death?
Li An's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he didn't particularly understand this sentence.
Xiao Yue explained: "This is the scene after the crystal is enlarged.
We can't see it with the naked eye alone, but it can be easily seen when magnified hundreds of times. ”
After a slight pause, Xiao Yue stretched out her hand and pointed to the black area,
"Yesterday it was light, but now it's pitch black.
That's because the active substance hidden inside the crystal is dying.
When the entire crystal is taken over by darkness, it means that it will die completely. ”
It turns out that it will die.
Li Ang originally thought that this crystal would be immortal, but now it seems that it also has a lifespan.
"Could it be that you are mistaken? After all, this is a situation that has been magnified hundreds of times, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes. Ang Lee said.
Yue Ling spoke: "I am responsible for measuring and calculating, and the probability of error is one in 100 million. ”
"Besides, we've been monitoring it for half a month, and even if there are measurement errors, it's negligible." Xiao Yue added.
One in a billion mistakes, which are really negligible.
"And how long will it live?" Ang Lee asked.
"At the current rate of death, there are still 3,600 days to live." Moon Spirit preached.
Three thousand six hundred days is equivalent to ten years of life.
"I expect it to die faster, though.
In addition, as its death approaches, the signals emitted will become weaker and weaker until it finally disappears. ”
Moon Spirit continued.
"If there is no light wave, there is no way to contact the aliens." Xiao Yue said with some sadness.
Li An stared at the translucent crystal, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
The darkness and the light receded at the same time, and the lights came on, and it was still the same research room, and the crystals were still lying quietly on the platform.
Whether it was the light wave that sent out the message or the news that the crystal was about to die, it was a major discovery for Xiao Yue.
I called Ang Lee over and told him this, not hoping that Ang Lee could come up with a solution, but just trying to find someone to confide in.
Except for Ang Lee, Xiao Yue really didn't know who to tell.
invisibly shows the position that Ang Lee occupies in Xiao Yue's heart.
Leave the dungeon and return to the top floor.
Li An thought for a moment, took the suitcase and returned to Xiao Yue's research room in the dungeon again.
The crystal has been hidden in a sealed space, and Xiao Yue hopes to use this to extend the life of the crystal.
"You want me to test this suitcase?"
Xiao Yue was very puzzled when she first learned about Ang Lee's purpose, and it wasn't until Ang Lee showed the changing function of the suitcase in front of her that she became interested.
The suitcase was placed on top of the instrument.
The so-called detection is actually done by the Moon Spirit, which is faster.
As a blue light flickered back and forth on the suitcase, the Moon Spirit spoke:
"Its main component is reactive metal, and its biggest feature is that it has memory and can change on its own under certain conditions.
This metal is basically absent on Earth. ”
"Not on Earth, you mean it comes from outer space?"
Xiao Yue exclaimed excitedly.
If the material of the suitcase comes from outer space, does it mean that the suitcase was made by aliens?
Moon Spirit shook her head and said, "I can't be sure of that, but I've figured out what it's used for. ”
"What?" Ang Lee asked.
Compared with the provenance of the suitcase, Ang Lee is more concerned about its usefulness and how to use it.
"Simply put, it's a weapon." Moon Spirit replied.
Weapons!
In terms of the transformation of the suitcase and the functions it played, Li An had already guessed, but he was still shocked to hear Yue Ling say it.
A suitcase that can be changed is a weapon, and its materials are basically absent on Earth!
What amazing news this is.
If it is the product of alien technology, then what is the purpose of the alien who created it?
Li An's heart began to worry again.
People yearn for space and want to come into contact with extraterrestrial life.
Instinctively, he idealizes extraterrestrial creatures too much.
Compared to extraterrestrial creatures, Earth's technology and defense are too weak.
What if the alien creatures have bad intentions?
What do earthlings do to protect themselves?
Just as Li Ang was thinking, the suitcase placed on the instrument suddenly turned into a liquid state and flowed like water.
Then, it condensed into a sphere, and then continued to change its shape.
"Moon Spirit, what did you do to it?" Li An asked in surprise.
Moon Spirit replied, "I'm unlocking it. ”
Li An was secretly happy in his heart, he had already guessed that the function of the suitcase was locked layer by layer, and he only used one of the functions.
If the Moon Spirit can be successfully resolved, it means that it can be used for all its functions.
Since it is a weapon, understanding all its functions also helps in scientific research.
Compared with use, Xiao Yue is more concerned about its manufacturing principle.
After a moment, the moon spirit said somewhat mechanically, "Unlock failed." ”
Ang Lee was slightly disappointed.
"Moon Spirit, isn't there any other way?" Xiao Yue looked even more nervous than Ang Lee.
Moon Ling replied, "I've tried everything. ”
The words paused slightly, and his eyes fell on Li An,
"I failed to unlock it, but I found a way."
"How?" Ang Lee asked.
Moon Spirit replied, "When I was unlocking it just now, I found that there is some kind of connection between it and you.
To put it simply, you are the key that unlocks the lock. ”
Am I the key?
Li An frowned, feeling that what he said was really too amazing.
Subsequently, Ang Lee thought of the so-called connection.
It should be themselves when using the suitcase, it took its own essence blood.
