Li Xiang and Guan Haitong of the management committee of the institute bargained.

The bombed-out laboratory was finally cleaned up by a group of researchers.

Since the new equipment had not yet come down, all the researchers had to do some theoretical work, or study the whole pile of junk to see if there was anything left.

Yang Gang and others all know that the residue in the reactor is the most likely place to be found.

June 8th.

Today is the second day of the explosion in the laboratory of the Institute of Superconductors at Room Temperature.

Li Xiang and other bigwigs are thinking about how to improve the experiment, as well as discussing the requirements for the improvement of experimental equipment.

The other researchers did their own thing.

Yang Gang said to Yao Zhaoyi on the side, "Why don't you go and study the residue we cleaned up yesterday?"

Yao Zhao thought about it for a while, and there was nothing to do now, so he nodded in agreement.

The two of them went to the laboratory's experimental goods warehouse and retrieved the contents of yesterday's explosion laboratory.

"Something else isn't of much value, and we focus on the residue of the reactor." Yang Gang said while rummaging through the box of the reactor residue.

"Reactor residues? Over here. Yao Zhaoyi pointed to the three boxes on the shelf not far away.

[No.: 5761 (reactor residue 1) 2019.6.7]

[No.: 5762 (reactor residue 2) 2019.6.7]

[No.: 5763 (reactor residue 3) 2019.6.7]

Yang Gang hurriedly took out the three boxes, while Yao Zhaoyi registered with the warehouse keeper that they took out the three boxes.

"Gone." Yao Zhaoyi said with the warehouse receipt.

The two of them took three boxes to the laboratory and prepared the testing equipment.

"Start with the first residue." Yang Gang opened the box number 5761 and carefully removed a little residue from it.

There were less than 3 grams of residue in the box, and he took out less than a tenth.

Yao Zhaoyi was operating the instrument.

The two worked together to methodically detect and analyze the material composition in the reactor residue 1.

“…… Ordinary nitrogen compounds, and some compounds in the reactor itself......" Yang Gang said as he looked at the test report.

And Yao Zhaoyi is recording these data.

Suddenly, Yang Gang's words stopped.

"What? What did you find?" Yao Zhaoyi raised his head and asked.

"I'm not sure."

Yang Gang cautiously moved the electric realm back to the position just now.

Soon globular molecules appeared on the display.

"What's that? Carbon-60?" Seeing the structure of this molecule, this was Yang Gang's first reaction.

"Carbon-60? You mean soccer olene?" Yao Zhaoyi stopped the pen in the recording and focused his eyes on the monitor screen.

A spherical molecule appeared in the eyes of both of them.

"Is it really carbon-60? Yao Zhaoyi said suspiciously.

"I'm also very puzzled that there is carbon-60 in the residue." Yang Gang was also confused.

Yao Zhaoyi continued to observe this molecule, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration: "Gangzi, this thing is not necessarily carbon-60. ”

"Isn't it carbon 60?...... is there an atomic number of 60?" Yang Gang was about to refute, but stopped when he said it, and then said uncertainly:

"Nitrogen 60?"

Yao Zhao nodded: "In our reactor, there are no raw materials for generating carbon-60 at all, not even carbon atoms, how to generate carbon-60? ”

"What you say makes sense, even if it is the carbon atoms carried by the reactor itself, it is impossible to form carbon-60 by such a coincidence." Yang Gang agrees with this speculation.

"We're guessing here, and it's not a way, just know if it's nitrogen 60 to measure the molecular weight."

"Yes, we'll measure the molecular weight right away."

"I'll go prepare the equipment, Gangzi, you continue to test it and see if there is a second one of the same molecules."

"No problem."

The two soldiers split into two ways, Yang Gang carefully tested the residue, and Yao Zhaoyi went to prepare the equipment for measuring molecular weight.

In the case of carbon-60, it is a stable molecule formed by the combination of carbon atoms alone, with 60 vertices and 32 faces, of which 12 are regular pentagons and 20 are regular hexagons, and its relative molecular mass is about 720.

Whereas, if it is Nitrogen-60, the relative molecular mass of the nitrogen atom is about 14, so its relative molecular mass is about 840.

The structure of nitrogen-60 is the same as that of carbon-60, and the characteristics are very similar, after the discovery of carbon-60, many scientists have given the predicted structure of nitrogen-60 and silicon-60 through computer simulations.

But nitrogen-60 and silicon-60 have never been discovered or synthesized, and everyone thinks these two things are ideal.

Yao Zhaoyi prepared the equipment and asked Yang Gang, "The equipment is ready, how are you doing there?"

"I found three more spherical molecules, which are being extracted." After Yang Gang finished speaking, he held his breath and concentrated on the extraction work.

He had to be cautious about this, after all, this thing had to be counted among the residues, and one careless could cause the sample to be lost.

When Harvard University was doing research on metallic hydrogen, there was such an oolong, and after the paper was written, it was found that the metallic hydrogen sample was lost, is there anything more sad than this?

If someone else develops metallic hydrogen and wins the explosives award in the future, it is estimated that this research institute of Harvard University will be so depressed that it vomits blood.

Although Yao Zhaoyi wanted to help, he still held back, at this time, it is not that there are many people who have great strength, it is more likely that there are many people and the samples are lost.

In the cool laboratory, Yang Gang was sweating profusely extracting the only four spherical molecules.

After successfully removing two of the four molecules, he let out a long breath.

"Fortunately, I managed to extract two."

"Quick, I'm getting excited."

"Be excited, calm down, and be careful of happiness and sorrow."

The two of them lightly extracted two spherical molecules and put them into the molecular weight testing equipment, which was also developed by Galaxy Precision Instrument Company, which can start to detect molecular weight and atomic weight.

Didi ......

［…… Relative molecular weight: 36...... Relative molecular weight: 460...... ］

Due to the presence of other compounds in the sample, there was a lot of detection data, and the two of them carefully looked at each one by one.

"Yes, yes." Yao Zhaoyi suppressed his excitement and said.

"Where?"

"This."

［…… Relative molecular weight: 840...... ］

Soon, the two found another piece of detection data that was also 840.

"It seems that it is really nitrogen 60, and I didn't expect it to blow up a surprise." Yang Gang said happily.

"We first stored these two samples, the one residue was also preserved, and then the remaining two residues were also tested to see if there was still nitrogen 60." Yao Zhaoyi proposed.

Yang Gang nodded: "Yes." ”

The two continued to test the remaining two reactor residues, and soon they found 6 nitrogen 60 molecules in residue 5762 and 3 nitrogen 60 molecules in residue 5763.

After completing the extraction and preservation work, the two came to Li Xiang's office and reported the test report to Li Xiang.

"Nitrogen 60 molecules found in the reactor residue?" Li Xiang was very surprised by this discovery, and he hurriedly read the test report carefully.

Looking at the tested molecular weight and 13 samples, he had to believe in this unexpected product.
