Hearing Femmon's inquiry, Shen Qinghua immediately replied: "Dreadnought 2 has completed the task of unloading all the components of the transfer station, I have already asked him to set off for Jupiter to sample, the asteroid belt there will be a transit station for us to fly out of the solar system, we need to investigate it first, and now our position and time are the best opportunity to set off to Jupiter, so I let the 2nd set off two hours ago." Because I know you'll be arriving soon, I wanted to wait until you arrived to tell you. ”

Faimon nodded, saw Jenny coming from the hatch, greeted him with a smile, and praised: "Jenny, you are really getting more and more beautiful, it seems that space is very suitable for beautiful women to work!" ”

Everyone talked and laughed together, along the long corridor, into the central main building of the transfer station, a huge ecological circulation system in the center of the building, under construction, green trees and many plant roots and seedlings have been cultivated in many neatly arranged containers without soil, several plant engineers are observing the melting rate of a newly taken comet crushed ice next to a container, and holding some equipment ready to sample and analyze. Feemon and his party walked through the open central area towards the surrounding workspaces.

The work area of the space transfer station is divided according to function, and Fei Meng came to the biomedical laboratory first, and a research team under Dr. Li Sucai was followed. The Fearless' acted together, with the establishment of the space transfer station, also moved into this new laboratory, they are carrying out research work that cannot be carried out on the ground, Zhang Xiaoqian is most familiar with these people, and they talked and laughed about life in space, Feimeng followed Shen Qinghua to the physics laboratory he cared about the most, which is also the main place of Shen Qinghua's work, the personnel in the laboratory are researching and improving the new antiproton collider, because of the advantages in space, many cumbersome equipment on the ground have been canceled, and they are working hard to improve the efficiency of the machine, so as to be applied in the space factory to improve production efficiency。

Shen Qinghua introduced Fei Meng, and pointed to a glass cover standing on the side of the wall with his finger to signal Fei Meng to go over and take a look, and a large translucent green crystal was placed inside the thick glass cover. Fei Meng asked in surprise: "This one is very similar to the one we gave to Chen Fangyu, and the other two pieces are kept in our station, but this one is green, and it is so huge, have you discovered a new variety?" ”

Shen Qinghua said solemnly: "We found it from the ground when we were building this space transfer station and digging the foundation, and there were a few pieces found at the same time, but this piece is large and has a relatively regular shape, so I put it here." We have taken a cursory look at it, and in essence these crystals are the same as the three that were first discovered, they are all the same new substance, not in the periodic table, and the same thing is that their molecular arrangement is as orderly as all crystals, but their properties are very different. ”

Shen Qinghua said and took out a signal lighting multi-function lamp from under a workbench, adjusted the light to red, when he shone the red light on the green crystal, Fei Meng thought that it would change color like the original three pieces, but a miracle appeared, the crystal in front of Fei Meng's eyes actually began to flow, but it still flowed according to its own shape, this crystal conversion between liquid and solid state was so natural, Fei Meng was fascinated by this crystal, as if he felt that he wanted to melt in it. Shen Qinghua immediately turned off the lights, and Fei Meng came to his senses and asked with some shock: "What kind of substance is this, with such magical power?" I felt like I was almost sucked in by it. ”

Shen Qinghua smiled and said: "This is the reason why I want to point it out to you, you also know that crystals are broadly speaking, many solids on the earth are crystals, including metals, but the crystals we found here do not know how they were formed, according to the material composition of these small stars, they should be formed at extremely high temperatures, I speculate that it may be the material that escaped from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and was captured by the gravitational field between Mars and the earth, and orbited in the current irregular orbit, The asteroid belt is likely to be the tenth planet in the solar system, destroyed by a huge meteor, according to this speculation, the small star under our feet should be a fragment after the core cooled down, it stands to reason that the state of these crystals should be similar to diamonds, but it may be that some kind of substance has changed its properties, we are still studying. ”

Feimeng knew the hypothesis that the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter was the fragment of the tenth planet after it was destroyed, but Shen Qinghua was obviously influenced by his mentor when he was studying abroad, so he recognized this hypothesis as a fact.

Shen Qinghua saw Fei Meng's doubts, and continued: "I said so much, in fact, I want to say that these are by no means the ordinary crystals we think, but a completely new substance, and I have just learned about some of its properties, but it is still far from really understanding, and there is still a lot of research and experimentation to do." ”

Faimon nodded and asked, "Do you think it's worth spending a lot of energy studying it?" ”

Shen Qinghua said with certainty: "Yes, it is very valuable, the test shows that the hidden energy it carries is very huge, but we don't know how to use it yet, and I always have a strange feeling, as if it is alive, but life should have the basic ability to perceive, I have tried to communicate with it in some ways, but to no avail, maybe our current technology still has great limitations." ”

Fei Meng, a person with strong logical thinking ability, was also a little unable to keep up with Shen Qinghua's inferences, he felt that he might have put too much time and energy into management, and was a little envious that Shen Qinghua could still focus on scientific research, so he asked: "You manage the entire space team, how do you have time to do so much research work?" ”

Shen Qinghua smiled and said, "Oh, thanks to Jenny, she helped me a lot, she was in charge of a lot of administrative affairs, and I happened to do more research work." ”

At this time, Fei Meng looked at the crystals that had returned to a solid state, and asked uneasily: "Could it be that this is also the case with the three 'stones' found earlier, and it will be dangerous to Chen Fangyu and Gu Guoqiang, right?" ”

Shen Qinghua shook his head and said: "Probably not, I have also done research on those three crystals, and I have not found more problems except that they will change color, and I found that they are on another smaller asteroid, which is nearly a million kilometers away from here, and it takes more than half a day to travel." ”

"Oh, this is the best, we can't do bad things with good intentions, if there is a problem with the crystal gifts given to Chen Fangyu and Gu Guoqiang, it will be too bad."

"Well, that asteroid has been developed into an antimatter storage station, and I'll go there again with the next cargo ship to find the same crystals that I can study more closely." Shen Qinghua also became cautious and said his thoughts.
