Chapter 6: Strange Meteorites

Graphite sat under the ginkgo tree for a small half a day.

Soon after, he got up and went to the wing, where he decided to study the meteorite.

When he was surfing the Internet on his mobile phone just now, he found that there were already people on the Internet posting posts about yesterday's meteorite fall, and some people even pushed videos taken by mobile phones on the Internet.

It is conceivable that in this era when everyone basically has a mobile phone and many vehicles have recorders, major events such as meteorite falls are destined to become the focus of attention and will spread quickly on the Internet.

Graphite didn't pay much attention to this, because he was the only one at the scene, and no one knew that the meteorite ended up on his hand.

As an ordinary person, he didn't pay attention to this kind of thing before, although in the past, there would be news on the Internet from time to time about which meteorites fell, which meteor showers and the like, but at most he regarded it as general news, and he would quickly forget it if he glanced at it occasionally.

However, now that he has become a witness, he has actually picked up a stone from outside the sky.

So, he was finally different from before, he was full of curiosity and interest in this stone.

He deliberately searched the Internet for some popular science articles about meteorites or the posts of some astronomers, he had never cared about these things before, so he had little common sense and knowledge in this area.

He used to think that meteorites were basically stones, but now he knows that there are actually several types of meteorites, of course, most of the meteorites are indeed just stones, stones from outside the sky, but there are also a small number of iron meteorites, and even glass meteorites and the like, the vast sky does not know how many secrets are hidden, and human beings can probably only occasionally get a glimpse of these extraterrestrial visitors.

So, obviously, the meteorite he picked up last night should belong to the iron meteorite, Graphite thought to himself.

……

There was a post that caught his attention.

It is said that some meteorites contain a large amount of primordial matter formed in the universe, so such meteorites have extremely high scientific research value, and even contain metals that have not yet been discovered in the solar system, or special metals similar to those made by intelligent life.

It is said that the value of meteorites of this kind is generally incalculable.

Graphite couldn't help but ponder to himself, and began to bow his head and ponder.

"Could this meteorite I picked up last night be a metal that doesn't exist on Earth?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, anyway, the unique curiosity of human beings is the life factor hidden in the genes, and it is this curiosity that prompts human beings to continue to make various scientific discoveries and promote the continuous progress of human civilization.

Graphite's gaze inadvertently fell on the meteorite on the table, and under the light, the meteorite looked ordinary and unusual, black and round, and emitted a cold light like steel in the light.

He stretched out a hand and stroked the meteorite, and he could feel the coldness of the meteorite like pig iron.

Yesterday he had already knocked it with a hammer, and this guy was so hard that the hammer couldn't make a mark.

"Perhaps, I can use a hacksaw to grind a little powder down, or see a small piece down, send it to the laboratory or donate it to the state for testing? When he was dying, it was not in vain to be able to make a small contribution to the country and mankind, and if he could name this metal after himself in the future, it would be famous for eternity. ”

All kinds of thoughts went around in Graphite's mind......

He looked around, and there must have been a hacksaw in the house.

Soon, he found the hacksaw on the wooden frame on the side of the wing.

Then, he decided to put his idea into action right away.

He held the meteorite with his left hand, and with his right hand held the hacksaw against the round meteorite, he began to try to saw a piece of it, at least sawing some metal powder down, for which he even put a newspaper under the meteorite.

There was a harsh sound of metal tug-of-war in the chamber.

However, this meteorite was indeed too hard, and he sawed it a few times as if it had no effect, and there was not even a trace.

He estimated whether he was too careful and didn't use enough force, so he unconsciously increased the strength in his hand.

But the meteorite was a little slippery, and it was good that he didn't use his force, and his hacksaw immediately slipped with this force. The hacksaw that slipped away suddenly pulled through the left hand holding the meteorite, and then the left thumb was opened a large gap, and immediately, a stream of blood gushed out.

The blood flowed onto the surface of the meteorite, and then, in disbelief, he saw a strange scene.

The blood gushing out of it seeped into the hard surface of the meteorite.

Graphite quickly put down the hacksaw in his hand, and when he pulled his left hand, he was horrified and inexplicably found that his left hand seemed to be stuck with the whole meteorite, as if it was stuck together by some kind of strong adhesive, and his left palm and the meteorite were firmly glued together, and his hand could not be withdrawn.

He tried a few times, but the glue was so tight that he couldn't pull it out.

Before he could figure out anything, he noticed that the meteorite had changed again.

The black meteorite slowly became soft, as if it had been baked by something and began to melt, turning into something like asphalt, black and slimy.

Then Graphite watched as the black asphalt slowly and softly wrapped around his entire left hand, and then squirmed along his left hand and extended toward his arm.

As the asphalt extended, his entire arms, shoulders, and even the rest of his body turned black, and in between, no matter how much he tried to shake off, pulling, it seemed to be to no avail.

He was a little dazed, his nervous heart pounding, as if it was about to jump out of his throat at once.

By the time the asphalt finally reached every corner and inch of his body, graphite had become a black man through and through! It's still the kind of black one.

He looked at his outstretched hands, and then at the rest of his body.

Suddenly, a tingling and itching sensation came, at first it was just the surface of the skin, he couldn't help but scratch it with his hands, but the itching here has not stopped, and there he feels extremely itchy, and then he moved his hands at the same time, but he was still overwhelmed, but for a while, his whole body was like countless ants crawling.

What was even more unbearable was that the itch quickly penetrated from the skin into the muscles, internal organs, and even bones, which was almost an inhuman torture, and the feeling of itching everywhere inside and outside his body made him very uncomfortable, and his head seemed to explode, making a buzzing sound.

His whole body gradually curled, twisting painfully on the ground.

It didn't take long for him to seem to have lost his basic rational thinking, and he was in a state of instinctive resistance, scratching his skin with his nails, pulling his hair, and staggering and scraping everywhere, banging his head against the countertops, the walls, hitting and scraping every hard thing, making the side room a mess and messy.

Soon, he passed out from the torture of this great itch, and he had exhausted the last of his strength and lay motionless on the ground.

The room soon fell silent, and the orange roof lamp still lazily emitted a dim warm glow.

I don't know when, the wind started to pick up outside again.

The autumn wind swept up some yellow leaves, squeezed in through the open door of the wing, filled the whole wing, and then went out through the lattice window on the side, and made some faint whimpering, his messy hair was fluttering in the wind, and a yellow leaf swirled, and the dragonfly made a short stop on him like a little water, and soon flew in circles to some unknown corner.

……

Graphite, lying on the ground, woke up in the dark.

He suddenly found himself in a vast void, surrounded by bright stars in all directions.

There is no doubt that this is outer space.

A beautiful planet was at his feet, his gaze could easily penetrate the distance and the clouds, and he could see that there was a vast and majestic earth and continuous mountains and rivers on this planet, and the silver-white rivers flowed like ribbons through the vast earth, and then finally merged into a vast silver-white ocean, and the stars in the distance of the planet radiated warm sunlight shining on the earth and the ocean......

Graphite felt as if he was dreaming, it all seemed unscientific, as if he had the perspective of God, looking down on the entire planet.

Moreover, he does not feel the passage of time.

I don't know how long it took, one day, these calms in front of him were suddenly broken.

……

The gentle star suddenly became extremely violent, and graphite knew that the entire galaxy was about to be destroyed! Because this galaxy has been tightly pulled by mysterious forces from the endless dark abyss, and the star bears the brunt of it, its body swept into the dark abyss by an invisible force.

Yes, this great force of nature comes from a black hole that passes through this void!

A huge planet in the galaxy also flew from a distance, and collided with this beautiful planet, and the impact produced a huge shock wave that swept the surface of the planet, and the entire planet began to burn, and countless large and small rock fragments flew into the vast void.

The whole galaxy is burning! In Shattering! Falling into the abyss of darkness!

The pulling phenomenon of this interstellar matter due to the huge gravitational pull presents a strange magnificence, as beautiful as a distorted abstract painting!

The head-on collision between the star and the black hole produced unimaginable burst energy, and the blue dazzling gamma rays suddenly passed through the void, through countless stars and galaxies, like the last scream of this galaxy before it died.

Then, graphite strangely saw that the planet's silver ocean had condensed into a large, silvery-white, latex-like mass that was constantly changing in various forms, like jellyfish in the deep sea.

The ocean turned into a jellyfish?!

Moreover, this jellyfish is constantly struggling and swinging like a living creature.

The jellyfish seems to sense the coming end of the galaxy, and it wants to escape from the dark abyss and escape the fate of being swallowed by a black hole.

It struggled and swayed desperately, and just like that, it seemed like a long time had passed. Eventually, its massive body stretched out countless tentacles, and began to burn backwards, spraying, and it was constantly burning itself, so as to gain enough reverse force to escape from outer space, yes, it seemed to be shutting off its tail to survive, like a gecko on Earth.

The process seems to be long, and it seems to be just an impression in Graphite's mind.

He saw that the jellyfish had burned almost all of itself, and that only a tiny part of itself had escaped, and that the jellyfish that had managed to escape had condensed into a black meteorite in the void and then quietly slid into the distant void.

Graphite naturally followed the meteorite and began its wanderings in the void.

This black meteorite has been wandering in the void for many years, as if it has hibernated, sliding by inertia in the void, motionless.

There was almost no concept of time in this process, which became a clear impression in Graphite's mind, and one day, it came to a blue planet, and then, captured by the planet's gravity, fell into it.

Then graphite saw the earth and mountains below, saw the winding mountain kilometers, saw a car, and saw a person.

That person is himself.
