The fat and round shape has a smooth surface and looks like a bloated vat. On top are several large coils, similar to those used in magnetic field detection instruments in the laboratory, encased in special glass, like large ears on seismographs.

Three robotic arms are mounted on the body, making the seismograph look more like a three-legged crab with big ears. On the smooth surface, the logo and name of the marching ant company are clearly printed.

They have been scientists for so long, and they have seen all kinds of strange instruments. This kind of shape, in the eyes of many people, looks very ordinary.

"This device is the equipment of the marching ant company?" An expert circled around the instrument, and found nothing special except for a few large coils.

It took a lot of effort to get to know what these six instruments were for, but they didn't know what they were used for.

"What's the use?"

The group looked at Wu Zhen.

"Seismographs of the Marching Ant Company." Wu Zhen said.

As soon as these words came out, the field fell into an eerie silence. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. They all thought that it was just an ordinary geological exploration instrument, and it turned out to be a seismograph.

"Is that the paper on earthquake early warning published by Chen Mo of the marching ant company some time ago?" A geologist asked.

"Yes, this is the seismograph he made based on the principle of the paper." Wu Zhen said.

"I've read his paper, and it's a novel idea, but it's too fanciful. It's all theoretical, it's not very applicable, and there's a great possibility of failure. A geologist said.

"I know that I will fail and test, but because I am afraid of failure, I don't go to experiment? It's not science. ”

Wu Zhen's words made everyone unable to refute.

"We have been studying earthquake early warning for decades, but we have only stayed at seismic wave early warning. We're not all right, and if we want to give a longer warning, why can't we learn from other people's ideas? The stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade. ”

Everyone fell silent, Wu Zhen was the oldest among them, and Wu Zhen was right.

"Let's not talk about this now, let's see how this instrument is used first." Wu Zhen inserted the USB flash drive into the computer.

The research ship set sail without much attention.

Everyone can only see the stability of the country on the surface, but they can't see the scientists and workers who are working hard behind it.

The location of the seismograph is very important, first of all, it must be a fault with active plate movement, and it also needs to be on the seabed above 2,000 meters.

When designed, it can only withstand water pressure above 2,000 meters. The water is too deep for the seismograph to withstand the pressure of the sea.

The scientific expedition team often conducts scientific expeditions in this area of Mariana, and they also have a good understanding of the topography and geology of this area. The location of the delivery can be easily found.

Now that autumn is now in, the weather is relatively stable, there is not much wind and waves at sea level, and the seismograph is being launched very smoothly.

Few people know that the marching ant company they ridiculed has already produced the seismograph, and no one knows that the installation of the seismometer has entered the final stage.

The eastern Pacific Ocean, where the Earth's Pacific plate meets the Eurasian plate, is one of the most earthquake-dense places.

Wu Zhen stared intently at the computer, and behind him, several experts also watched quietly.

It has been half a month since it went to sea, and the scientific research projects of this scientific research ship include marine chemistry, marine physics, marine biology and marine geology.

In parallel with other scientific expeditions, seismographs were also launched. Except for the location problem, there is no big problem, and the delivery method is very simple. The first five have all been put into place, and this is the last seismograph.

"The installation was successful."

After seeing the information displayed by the computer, Wu Zhen finally smiled. Hearing Wu Zhen's news, the others applauded.

Shi Tengchuan looked at the radar display and satellite images. The target above is a Chinese research ship.

This research ship seems to be putting some kind of equipment into the seabed.

I didn't know the exact location last few times, but this time I tracked it from afar. The task he received was to find out what this group of Chinese people had thrown into the sea, and if possible, to fish back a piece of equipment.

Seeing the red dot on the radar leaving, Shi Tengchuan Ying gave the order and went to the location where the research ship stayed just now.

The sea was calm and the sea breeze was not too strong, which made the boat not so shaky. Shi Tengchuan Ying walked to the side of the ship, took a telescope and checked the sea, but found nothing.

"Put in the sonar and find out what they just put in here." Shi Tengchuan Ying put down the binoculars and said.

With Shi Tengchuanying's order, two sonar devices were thrown into the sea.

"Captain, find out." A soldier ran out and said.

Shi Tengchuan Ying immediately walked into the cabin.

"There's something in this location, it's a metal object, probably a submersible, or some other unknown instrument." An officer said, pointing to the data collected by sonar.

Shi Tengchuan thought for a while and said, "Prepare to salvage it." ”

Marching Ant Company.

In the laboratory, Chen Mo's attention was all on the electron microscope.

All seismographs in Tibetan areas have been installed, monitoring stations have been set up, and some data have been transmitted back to Tibet.

Several 3.0 magnitude earthquakes were detected, but these earthquakes were not felt by ordinary people, so they were of little use, but the data proved that this instrument could be used. When the earthquake reaches a magnitude 5 and is destructive, the seismograph will take the initiative to warn.

The launch of instruments in the Pacific region is also underway, and it is believed that all instruments will be launched soon.

The seismograph thing, the next thing should be the problem of testing data, and he doesn't have to worry too much about it. Now he is engaged in new research.

Room-temperature superconducting materials, this is what he will focus on next.

There are eight technologies to be studied in the science and technology library, and he has not completed any of them now. Only by completing this material can you get the research for the next project.

During this time, all the instruments and equipment needed have returned, and what he needs to do now is to synthesize the room temperature superconducting material - silicon carbon. The molecular structure of this material is honeycomb hexagonal, which is similar to the structure of graphene.

After a long time, Chen Mo withdrew from the electron microscope and continued to prepare chemical agents. The synthesis of this material requires special chemicals and is synthesized under high pressure.

I just took an experiment, and the concentration of chemical agents was a little lower. The requirements of the experiment are very high, although there is silicon carbon in the synthetic material, but the purity is not high, and it needs to be purified many times to obtain a small amount of silicon carbon.

The higher the purity of this material, the better the superconductivity.

When used to make superconducting chips, the requirements for the purity of silicon carbon are almost harsh, just like the silicon crystals used in chips today. Although 100% purity synthesis is almost impossible, he also needs to maximize the purity of silicon carbon for later use.

While Chen Mo was carefully preparing the chemical potion, the voice of the ink girl suddenly sounded.

"Brother Mo, the people of the island country have fished out a seismograph."
