Chapter 52 The Division of Labor of the Meteorite Experimental Group

"Andrey, the Chenchen meteorite has now been transported to Super Laboratory 1, and the research institute has opened the relevant permissions to you, please start research work immediately." Frank continued, "Well, that's it for today's discussion. Go for it, guys! ”

After the discussion, the other scientists left the room.

However, Yuan Haochen and several other members of the meteorite experiment team were retained by Andre, the deputy head of the scientific research team of the special project team.

"Let's go, let's go see this meteorite that shocked the astronomical world now." Andrei ordered after glancing at everyone.

Andrei is a Russian with a typical Russian national personality: brave, tenacious, tenacious, self-esteem and impatient.

Under the leadership of Andre, Philip, Amanda, Durunik, Yuan Chen and several others came to the No. 1 super laboratory affiliated to the Institute of Astrophysics.

As Hara expected, the scale of the super laboratory was far superior to that of the individual laboratories of the members of the science group.

The No. 1 Super Laboratory basically covers most of the super instruments and equipment that Yuan Hao Chen saw on the list before.

Of course, some of the oversized synchrotrons are installed in the core area of the IEA's Pacific base.

In an annular sealed cabin with a diameter of about 10 meters surrounded by transparent super-strong tempered glass, Yuan Chenchen finally saw the meteorite again after two years.

It still lay silently on a circular metal pedestal, emitting a faint glow from the light source around the capsule.

Yuan Haochen looked at it intently through the tempered glass curtain wall, as if he was looking at an old friend who he hadn't seen for many years.

Yuan Haochen didn't expect that by mistake, he would intersect with the Haochen meteorite again at the IEA Pacific base. At this time, a thought arose in his heart, this old friend must contain an extraordinary secret, waiting for him to uncover the mystery step by step.

"Oh my God, such a huge stony meteorite!" It was the French scientist Philippe who spoke, "In terms of quality, it has already set a world record." ”

"With a volume of about 3 cubic meters and a mass of more than 9 tons, it is indeed a big guy in a stony meteorite." No one is more familiar than Yuan Chen.

"Hey, young man, tell us how you found this big guy." Trunik seems to be very interested in Hara's experience of discovering meteorites.

Seeing that Andre and the others also seemed to show great interest, Yuan Haochen roughly told everyone about his experience from the discovery of the black treasure green meteorite sample to the excavation of flying stones in the ancient city of Loulan in Xinjiang. Of course, the things about the dream realm were too illusory, and Yuan Haochen didn't mention it.

"Hey, you're a man with a story." After listening to Yuan Chen's narration, Durunik said excitedly.

"Alright, guys, let's take a look at the progress of meteorite research so far." Andrei said as he opened the database related to the meteorite.

Philip, Amanda, Trunik, Yuan Chen, and several others also turned on their computers, and soon the data was synchronized to everyone's computers.

[The Chenchen meteorite was found at the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, Xinjiang, China, at 89°55′22" east longitude and 40°29′55" north latitude. The volume is 2.82 cubic meters, and the mass is 9.15 tons. It is mainly composed of two parts, the main part is [pure olive chondrite Martian meteorite], and a total of three parts composed of black treasure green meteorite are inlaid in the main part, and the inlay positions are in the upper right corner, the bottom, and the lower position of the interior of the main part. It has been determined that the magnetite crystal structure in the black treasure green meteorite is made by some kind of superbug. The main part of the body was found to be isotope detection and its formation is estimated to be 2.1 billion years ago, that is, in the early era of Mars' geological history. 】

The above information belongs to the early research results of the meteorite, and Yuan Chenchen is very familiar with it.

"After the research of several previous scientific research institutions, it can be concluded that the meteorite was formed by the space meteorites of other galaxies violently impacting the Martian volcanic belt, and the lava fused with meteorite fragments escaped into space." Andrei said while looking through the information, "Among them, the most important scientific conclusion is that the meteorite may carry the secret of ancient alien life!."

"Ancient extraterrestrial life!"

"This space meteorite can't be the spark of life on Mars, right?" Durunik said in surprise.

"There is a possibility, and there are even some scientists who speculate that in ancient times, there was another similar meteorite that reached the Earth," Andrei continued.

"What a bold guess!" Amanda, a female scientist from the United States, was visibly shocked by such a statement.

"Several previous research institutes have done a very thorough analysis of the composition of each part of the meteorite." Andrei retrieved the relevant information from the database and shared it with everyone.

"To be cautious, let's do another ingredient analysis." Yuan Haochen said thoughtfully.

"I think so too, you are divided into two groups, using a super laser Raman spectrometer and a high-frequency infrared spectrophotometric spectrophotometer to do a test." Andre glanced at Yuan Chen, nodded and continued, "Philip and Durunik, you are responsible for detecting the meteorite composition of the black treasure green part in a group of two, and Amanda and Yuan Haochen are responsible for detecting the Martian meteorite in the main part. ”

"Okay." "No problem."

"Note that our research is focused on finding more clues about ancient life as quickly as possible." After a moment's thought, Andrei continued. "Maybe we can also find clues to the specific location of the space meteorite impact on Mars through the composition analysis of the meteorite body." Yuan Haochen said a thought that had been hidden deep in his heart all along.

"Oh, that's a bold idea, but do you know how big Mars is? This thing sounds like looking for a needle in a haystack, and I hope you do the groundwork first, young man. Philip on the side said with a look of incredulity.

Yuan Haochen was about to continue to explain something, but Andre on the side interrupted: "Okay, everyone, first complete the task at hand as soon as possible, the top can keep a close eye on this research project, we have to come up with something valuable as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, got it." Yuan Haochen didn't want to stiffen the relationship with these strong guys for the time being, so it seemed that he had to put this idea aside again.
