Although it is not difficult to determine the components contained in the meteorite material, it is indeed a relatively tedious work, but fortunately, this work Yuan Haochen has done in Tsinghua University, so he is quite proficient.

At this time, only Yuan Chen and Dulunik were left in the No. 1 Super Laboratory.

André went back to his lab early in the morning, and soon Philip and Amanda also excused themselves from some urgent work at hand, and then disappeared as well.

"SHIT, let us do these chores, and then go to the lab to drink coffee." Trunik was doing his job and complaining.

No way, compared to Philip and Amanda, Durunik and Yuan Haochen are both rookies, and these tedious tasks naturally fall on their heads.

In this regard, Yuan Haochen naturally has a lot of complaints in his heart, but he is a person who is moody and angry, and these little things are not worth his anger, so he should reminisce about his college days.

Although the composition of meteorites is generally determined first, the type of meteorite is determined first, and although the black treasure green meteorite measured and analyzed by Durunic and the pure olivine chondrite Martian meteorite measured and analyzed by Yuan Haochen are different in measurement details, the general workflow is basically similar.

They all have to carefully take samples in different parts of the meteorite, and then group the samples of each part, grind, and even molten stone, and then analyze and determine the samples of each group one by one with the help of various advanced spectral analysis instruments to obtain the content of its main material element components. Finally, the results of all the different groups are compared to draw the most accurate conclusions.

After a few days of hard work by Hara and Trunik, the results of the composition determination of the meteorite finally came out

"Unfortunately, Mr. Andrey, the results of our measurements are not very different from those of previous research institutes." Durunik said disappointedly.

Indeed, the [Haochen Meteorite] has been in several top research institutions in the world before, and the scientists there are certainly not vegetarians, even if they are not as good as the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance), and they must have spent a lot of effort on such a basic work as the determination of meteorite composition, but the results are just like what Durunik and Yuan Chenchen measured this time, and there is no valuable information.

"If we don't get anything from the perspective of compositional analysis, we have to start with the composition of the elements," Andre thought, at this time he was also a little hairy, just this morning, Frank was still urging him to get the results as soon as possible, saying that the base management was putting pressure on the special project team again.

"I said, Philip, Amanda, hurry up and stop all the other work you are working on first, the base higher-ups are urging us again today." Andrei seemed to have thought of something, and said with a gloomy face. "Okay, we get it." , Philip and Amanda, of course, understood that Andre was blaming the two of them for not paying attention to the research project and paddling

At the same time, in the distant Indian Ocean, in the Litria Islands, in an office at the Indian Ocean base of the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance).

"Commander Roland, today I received a message from the Pacific base."

The speaker was a middle-aged man of Indian origin with a dark complexion, who was reporting to a seductive, exotic middle-aged woman of Indo-European descent.

"How is meteorite research progressing?" The seductive-looking middle-aged woman asked.

"Now the meteorite is in the special project team of the Pacific Base Astrophysics Research Institute, but they don't seem to have made any real progress."

"Oh, do you have more details?"

"Commander Roland, according to what I have received, the Pacific base has only completed the confirmation of the meteorite's composition at the moment. However, the results of the assay are the same as those of previous research institutes, and there are no valuable clues. ”

"It's a pity, if the meteorite is in my hands, it will be very different. Why didn't I think to investigate this meteorite further? The middle-aged woman with a charming appearance showed an extremely regretful expression on her face.

"Summit, you continue to pay attention to the research work on meteorites, and report to me as soon as there is any progress! Let's go down. "Yes, Commander Roland."

Pacific Ocean, Kokolas Island, IEA Pacific Base, Institute of Astrophysics, Superlaboratory 1.

Feeling the pressure, Philip and Amanda finally began to take the research work of the Somal meteorite seriously.

"The bosses of the base seem to be more concerned about the problem of ancient life at the moment." French scientist Philippe is picking up a sample of a black green meteorite and putting it in front of his eyes for a closer look.

"Let's spend more energy on the black treasure green meteorite and analyze the magnetite crystal structure formed by superbugs." Amanda suggested.

"I can't ask for it, Amanda, stop the measurement of the main part of the meteorite, and let's get the black treasure green meteorite together." Durunik said happily that he wished someone would share his work.

"Okay, Chinese boy, let's stop the research on the main part of the meteorite for a while, and help them together." Amanda agreed.

Subsequently, the four of them began to study and analyze the magnetite crystal structure in the black treasure green meteorite.

"These are the previous research institutes, as well as the ingredient reports I measured in the past few days, you can refer to them first." As he spoke, Trunik shared the data to someone else's computer.

"Let's look at the overall and intermolecular structure of magnetite, including the chemical bonds within the molecule."

After assigning the work, Yuan Haochen turned on the computer, and all the previous scientists, including Durunike, presented the composition analysis data of the black treasure green meteorite in front of him.

The main components of meteorite: 56% magnetite, 7% nickel, and other non-terrestrial minerals;

Main constituent elements: Iron (81.1%), Nickel (7.1%), Oxygen (5.1%), Aluminum (2.4%), Silicon (1.4%), Magnesium (1.1%), Copper (0.8%), Sodium (0.3%), Calcium (0.2%), Phosphorus (0.1%), 16 Sulfur (0.1%), Vanadium (0.05%), Manganese (0.05%)

"The types and proportions of the elements measured several times are basically the same." Yuan Haochen quickly browsed the previous test measurement information recorded in the computer, and his brain was also quickly analyzing these boring data, "These are all data obtained by spectral analysis. ”

"There are still people who use such a primitive method as titration to measure the content of the main element components of meteorites one by one, and I am really patient."

After browsing through the last set of titration data, Yuan Haochen suddenly felt keenly in his mind that there seemed to be some unnatural places in all the data. "What's wrong?"

Except for the results other than the titration method, there may be some systematic errors, the results of several other sets of data are similar, and Yuan Haochen has done multiple tests on each set of data, which is also reasonable.

Yuan Haochen closed his eyes and pondered, and with his amazing memory, all the data were quickly presented in his mind, and arranged in a staggered and orderly manner, constantly intersecting for horizontal and vertical comparisons.

Soon, Yuan Haochen locked on the problem - the quality of the reverse extrapolation was wrong, and some of the mass of the sample disappeared out of thin air!
