Chapter 63: Shocking a Strange Meteorite

"If Dr. Minchi is willing to go on an interstellar trip with us, that's an exciting thing." Amanda, who had been silent next to her, took over the topic.

"However, we don't have a clear interstellar exploration plan yet, so I don't know how Hao Chen's research is progressing, and whether we have locked in a clear goal?" Amanda changed her words and threw the question to Yuan Chen.

"At present, I have only preliminarily identified a few possible areas, but I have not yet conducted in-depth demonstrations" Since this issue was mentioned, Yuan Haochen simply gave you a detailed introduction to his current research situation.

"If we really want to explore Mars, we have to lock on to the target area as much as possible. Otherwise, just blindly searching on Mars, the resources and time required are too much for us to afford at present. Amanda continued after listening to Yuan Chen's narration, "I also think you should focus on digging deeper into the area where NASA's unmanned spacecraft and the Canglong 1 Mars probe landed. ”

"I'll start with the Canglong 1 Mars rover when I go back."

"On the one hand, we need to continue to explore more scientific research value contained in the meteorite, and on the other hand, we must accurately lock the scope of Mars exploration as much as possible." Amanda looked at Yuan Haochen meaningfully and said, "Only in this way will the Mars exploration program receive more support from the IEA leadership!" ”

"Understood, Amanda." Yuan Haochen nodded.

Bidding farewell to Dr. Minchi, Amanda and others, Yuan returned to his office.

"Goethe, please help me submit this written application to the Administrative Outreach Group." Yuan handed over a formal written application to Goethe.

"Okay, Hao Chen, I'll handle it." The elder Goethe smiled knowingly, then walked out of the office with the papers.

According to the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance) organizational secrecy regulations, Yuan Chen's current public capacity in the outside world is a member of the Pacific Research Institute of the International Astronomical Union, and he cannot directly contact external institutions as a member of the IEA organization.

In addition, the IEA organization must follow a certain process to retrieve relevant research data from the China National Space Administration. Because in the China National Space Administration, only a few high-level leaders will know about the real existence of the IEA organization.

The relevant process is roughly as follows: first, Yuan Haochen submits relevant applications to the IEA Administrative Outreach Group, then the Administrative Outreach Team will arrange special staff to contact the IEA Liaison Members of the China National Space Administration, and finally the China National Space Administration will give relevant feedback according to the actual situation.

If nothing else, Yuan Haochen will be able to obtain the scientific research materials he needs within a week.

Originally, the process of the IEA organization to retrieve NASA's Mars landing data was roughly the same, but because this is a legacy problem with a history of more than ten years, it has to do more in-depth communication through Frank.

"I'm going to have to wait another week" After submitting the application, Yuan Haochen sighed secretly.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Haochen seemed to remember something.

He quickly stood up and walked towards a safe deep in the office.

After fingerprint unlocking, facial recognition, audio recognition, and then entering a long list of passwords, Yuan opened the safe.

Then, Yuan Haochen carefully took out a metal box with an extremely delicate texture from the compartment of the safe.

Slowly opening the metal box, there was a very ordinary-looking fist-sized stone.

That's right, this seemingly ordinary stone is the strange meteorite that changed Yuan Chen's fate.

Yuan Haochen is well aware of the importance of this meteorite, so he has been keeping it properly by his side in recent years.

Previously, Yuan Haochen had tried to study and analyze it in the past, but due to the limitations of technical ability, there has been no substantial gain.

The reason why this bizarre meteorite is brought out again today is because he was inspired by Dr. Minchi.

In Super Laboratory No. 1, after seeing Dr. Mingqi use high-voltage radiation to shock the meteorite, Yuan Haochen also remembered the relevant method.

In nature, it is common to find lightning smashing rocks.

The reason is that the internal structure of the stone is uneven, resulting in large resistance in some places and small resistance in some places, and the current preferentially flows through the places with low resistance, resulting in high heat, causing changes in the properties of the material itself or simple thermal expansion and contraction, and then the rock is broken.

This is similar to putting some stones in fire and they will explode, in principle, except that the way the lightning breaks them is much more violent.

In the past, Yuan Haochen had used physical and mechanical cutting to deal with strange meteorites, but it had no effect, and this time he didn't know if it would work.

Yuan Haochen came to the laboratory with a strange meteorite.

In his laboratory, there also happens to be an ultra-high-voltage electrical pulse device that can continuously generate 100 million volts of ultra-high-voltage radiation.

"Hopefully it will work." Yuan Haochen muttered as he carefully took the strange meteorite out of the metal box and placed it in the center of the shock of the high-voltage electric pulse device.

The center of the shock is isolated by transparent insulating material on all sides, which can not only protect the safety of the tester, but also meet the needs of test observation.

"Smack." The high-voltage electric pulse equipment was successfully activated, and the center of the electric shock seemed to turn into a sea of thunder and lightning, and the strange meteorite was instantly surrounded by thunder and lightning, and the blue-purple radiations with the thickness of fingers raged like a raging fangs and claws to pounce on the strange meteorite
