Chapter 175: Helpless
Listening to the explanation of the number one researcher, Ma Xianrui could only shake his head helplessly, and finally looked at the researcher again and asked, "Tell me about the situation this time." ”
The researcher nodded, beckoned to Ma Xianrui and the others, and led the group to a cubicle where several other researchers were working, each busy with their own business.
But seeing Ma Xianrui come in, the group of researchers put down their work and greeted Ma Xianrui.
And Ma Xianrui raised his hand and signaled them to do their own thing and leave them alone.
The number one researcher, who was called Zhao Zhuo by Ma Xianrui, also said to his assistants: "You guys are busy with yours, continue to observe the state of metal under various conditions, the chairman just came over to take a look." ”
When the group of assistants heard this, they looked at each other for a while, and they could only bow their heads and continue their work.
Researcher Zhao Zhuo took Ma Xianrui and them to a small glass box, pointed to a lump of black metal on the silver platform inside, and said: "That's it, this metal is not in the periodic table that we currently know, according to some of the situations we have analyzed above, this should be brought by an extraterrestrial meteorite." On our earth, there are tens of thousands of years of history. ”
While speaking, Zhao Zhuo motioned to an assistant next to him and asked him to open the lid of the box.
Seeing this, the other party also turned around and knocked a few times on the computer next to him, and after the small box made a soft "click" sound, Zhao Zhuo stepped forward to lift the lid, and then said to the assistant next to him: "Rise." ”
When the other party heard this, he knocked on the computer again, and with a "snort" sound, the platform containing the metal outside the sky also rose.
Zhao Zhuo walked to the side and picked up a sharp knife, gestured to Ma Xianrui and them, and then slashed hard at the lump of metal several times.
It can be seen that even if this Zhao Zhuo used the greatest strength to cut this metal, he could only deform it at most, and after the knife was removed, it quickly returned to its original state, and the surface was still the same as before, with some subtle frosting feeling, without the slightest trace of being cut.
After making this action, Zhao Zhuo said again: "Because it is an unknown metal, according to its characteristics, we will temporarily call it magic metal." This metal is extremely tough, like rubber, and it will deform according to the force when faced with external forces, but it is difficult to destroy it. Once the external force is gone, it will change back to its previous appearance, which is amazing. ”
"Of course, we also discovered its plasticity, if you mix iron and some other metals inside the magic metal to make a magic alloy. Although it will reduce the defense a bit, only magic alloy can allow us to modify it as we like. ”
"If there is enough primitive magic metal, the battle suit made is not indestructible, but at least in the rain of bullets, even in the face of large-caliber firearms. Of course, the suit is a suit after all, although it can ensure that the bullet will not penetrate the suit, but the impact of the bullet cannot be reduced too much, which may be the only regret. ”
"Well, I already know about the situation of this metal, so what's the matter with the materials yet?"
Ma Xianrui nodded, he had already understood something about this matter before, and now he was just listening to it with Hao Qiao and them.
In fact, to be honest, if Hao Qiao hadn't come up with the perfect holographic projection technology to cooperate with him, if it was just such a favor as saving his daughter, Ma Xianrui, as a businessman, would really be reluctant to give this unknown new metal to Hao Qiao.
But compared to the more long-term and huge benefits brought by those high-tech technologies, this limited number of metals, which seem to be rare, can transform the benefits far too much.
How to choose, naturally is beyond words.
Hearing that Ma Xianrui finally asked this crucial question, Zhao Zhuo smiled a little embarrassedly, waved his hand to the assistant next to him, the other party nodded, and put the magic metal back. Zhao Zhuo then explained to Ma Xianrui: "The piece of magic metal we currently have was found in Sicily, in the south of Italy, where there is a city called Avora. ”
"The first person to find this metal was a fisherman there. According to his own introduction, the magic metal was netted together when he was netting fish. At that time, an employee of our company happened to go to him to buy fresh sea fish, and after discovering this metal, he bought it because of its peculiarity. ”
"Then we found out about the rarity of the metal, and immediately sent someone to contact the fisherman again, and learned where he had fished before. I found a few professional divers to go to the sea to search, and finally found another piece of magic metal nearby, although the volume is not large, but it is more than enough to make two suits. ”
"However, just as one of the divers was about to pick up the piece of metal, a great white shark swallowed the piece of metal in one gulp......
Listening to Zhao Zhuo's words, Ma Xianrui, Hao Qiao and others were speechless.
Seeing that the metal that was finally found was eaten by the great white shark, this is indeed a feeling of helplessness.
"If it's just a great white shark, you should still have a way to solve it, right? Although the great white shark is a protected animal, I don't think that should stop you from doing something to a single great white shark. ”
Hao Qiao looked at Zhao Zhuo and said.
And there was nothing wrong with his words, after all, that rare metal was obviously more valuable than the life of a great white shark.
But who knew that after hearing Hao Qiao's words, Zhao Zhuo spread his hands helplessly and said, "If it was just like this, of course we would have already got the magic metal back." But according to the diver's account, as well as footage from his underwater camera, this is no ordinary great white shark. ”
"The diver was also lucky that there was a fishing boat next to him that netted a net of fish and attracted the super white shark away. Otherwise, the diver would probably have to be planted there. ”
"Just yesterday, we had a special shark hunter hunt to hunt the great white shark, but in the end the shark hunter's boat almost capsized. If it weren't for the other party's dealings with sharks for most of their lives, they might have to hit the street. ”
"We contacted him again when he came back, but the guy was so frightened that we wouldn't go to sea a second time to hunt the great white shark. So now we're really a little helpless. After all, magic metal is also very rare, and I don't dare to ask the Italian government for help, otherwise, the metal will probably have to be snatched by them. ”
After listening to Zhao Zhuo's words, everyone finally understood the whole story.
I also know why the metal hasn't been taken yet.
This is really a bit helpless......
