By setting up antennas, some people constantly emit various signals into the universe to tell possible aliens what it is like to be here and where we live.

Someone has launched an unmanned spacecraft into space, carrying information recorded in various ways to introduce human civilization to the expected aliens.

There are also people who have built various observation facilities to constantly listen for various signals in the universe in order to find information about aliens.

There are also people who try to find information about extraterrestrial life from above by studying extraterrestrial objects, that is, various meteorites.

Especially in the sixties and seventies of the last century, because of the confrontation of different ideologies, against the background of the Cold War and the threat of a potential nuclear war, this exploration reached its peak.

People want to find a new life beyond the earth, the same color as themselves.

Many governments, including Donghua, have privately organized large-scale extraterrestrial life exploration programs.

However, these plans, without exception, have been declared a failure, and even if they are still being implemented, they are in fact almost equivalent to failure.

Professor Chu and Wu Lao have both participated in Donghua's extraterrestrial life exploration program, and Wu Lao is also one of the leaders of it.

Co-chaired by the top government and the military, this plan, which began about 10 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China and involved hundreds of laboratories and universities across the country, has continued for decades, and so far, it has not been officially announced to be revoked.

However, because there has been no substantive research results, it has been controversial internally, so the support has been declining.

In the 80s of the last century, with the continuous advancement of reform and opening up, the focus of domestic work shifted to economic construction, and investment in military and scientific research decreased.

Under the instruction of the high-level management, the relevant sub-projects of the extraterrestrial life exploration program have been shut down and dismantled one after another, and the relevant scientific researchers have also arranged more practical projects.

In the 90s, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, domestic and foreign pressure was suddenly reduced.

In the 21st century, although the project has not been officially announced, with the retirement and death of the researchers who have participated in it, this ambitious plan has been almost completely forgotten.

Professor Chu's team, responsible for meteorite detection, is only one of the most inconspicuous branches of the entire project.

But it's also a sub-project with minimal cost and a little bit of real value.

Although no evidence of extraterrestrial life has been found, most of the meteorites come from celestial bodies such as asteroid belts, Mars, the Moon, and comets.

Therefore, the detection of the composition of these meteorites provides some physical evidence for scientific research projects such as the formation of the solar system, the source of the earth's water, the composition of the asteroid belt, the composition of celestial bodies such as Mars and the Moon, and so on.

Therefore, the entire extraterrestrial life exploration program has been completely stalled and forgotten, but meteorite detection, as the most inconspicuous branch, has survived to this day.

Several universities and laboratories in charge of the project still have some manpower to continue to maintain daily testing and laboratory work.

Professor Chu and his student Lin Hai are among the leaders.

As an old friend for many years, Wu Lao knows Professor Chu's personality and knows that unless he himself is deceived, he will never lie to Wu Lao at work.

So on the way to the airport, Wu Lao directly contacted the team responsible for recovering the meteorite, and asked them to immediately go to the university and laboratory where the meteorite was obtained yesterday, and wait for his further orders.

When Wu Lao got off at the airport gate, the special staff was already waiting at the gate with the boarding pass.

The staff took Wu Lao and went directly through the security check through the special channel, and then sent him to the plane that was ready to take off.

After Wu Lao sat down, he had been waiting for the plane for more than half an hour, and finally took off and headed for the imperial capital.

An hour later, the plane landed at the Imperial Capital Airport, and Wu Lao took a special car arranged in advance directly in the airport and rushed directly to Professor Chu's research institute.

Professor Chu's student Lin Hai was waiting at the gate of the institute, and when he saw Wu Lao getting out of the car, he greeted him directly: "Mr. Wu, this way!" ”

Wu Lao nodded slightly, followed Lin Hai into the laboratory, and saw Professor Chu with bloodshot eyes.

Because both sides were very anxious, and Wu Lao had already understood the current situation, he was not polite after entering the door, and asked directly: "Where is the meteorite?" ”

Professor Chu didn't ink, and greeted Lin Hai directly, and the two immediately demonstrated the characteristics of meteorites to Wu Lao.

First, I put the meteorite with the box on the measuring table and showed it to Wu Lao, and the monitor next to it displayed various data such as the weight of the meteorite and the strength of the magnetic field.

Then Lin Hai put a piece of iron weighing 100g that had been prepared in advance and put it on the meteorite.

As soon as he touched it, the iron sheet melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, the monitor next to it showed that the magnetic field strength near the meteorite suddenly increased by more than five times.

And as shown above, the weight of the entire meteorite plus the box plus the iron sheet is also very slowly reduced.

When the iron sheet was completely melted, the magnetic field strength also returned to its original data, and the overall weight increased by 80g.

Seeing this series of changes with his own eyes, Wu Lao's brows furrowed tightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"Lao Chu, I'll confirm with you again now, what you two masters and apprentices demonstrated to me are all true, and you didn't do it on purpose?"

Lao Chu said very seriously: "I know you will be suspicious, when I first saw it, I was also suspicious, but I tossed with Lin Hai all night and tried all kinds of ways to test, and in the end it was still like this."

"So now, although I don't know why he has such changes, I can personally guarantee that these changes have happened on his own, not the effect I made to coax you."

"Okay." Wu Lao nodded heavily, took a deep breath, took out the phone, and dialed a number:

"Now let's do it, recover the meteorite immediately, after recovering the meteorite, go directly back to the headquarters, and I will wait for you over there.

"If the researchers on the other side haven't started examining the meteorite, don't explain the reason to them and just bring the meteorite back.

"If you've already started studying meteorites and have made discoveries, bring all their insiders with you and tell them to go to the meeting."
