Chapter 9 008/Meteorite

This is in the science and technology tent of the excavation site. It has been a whole week since the discovery of the double swords. In the past seven days, Dr. Lei has buried himself in investigating the information of the double swords, and at the same time surveyed the situation of the Sheep No. 10 excavation site. Lian, on the other hand, was unable to stay with Dr. Lei at the excavation site for a long time because of her poor health, so she spent most of her time in the library and historical museum to search for information. The more Dr. Lei investigates, the more mysterious the double sword is, including the smelting method of the double sword. There are four or five legends in history.Some records are written like this: when the master of sword smelting in the Spring and Autumn Period smelted this piece of black iron, it took three years of melting and casting, but the piece of black iron could not be melted.

In the end, relying on the general's wife, Mo Xie cut off her long hair and nails, and finally got the stubborn iron to nod, and it melted into liquid smoothly. However, in the records of Barnyard Officials and Unofficial History, it is not so simple. Some say that Mo Xie found that the black iron could not be refined, so he jumped into the furnace with his whole body, so he influenced the black iron, and finally successfully forged into two swords. There is another saying that the general and Mo Xie jumped into the furnace together to melt the black iron. Moreover, there are different records about the origin of Xuantie. There is a saying that this is a concubine of King Wu who saw a blue shooting star across the sky one day and became pregnant that night.

This pregnancy has been pregnant for three full years, but it was too late to give birth. So King Wu decided to let the imperial doctor give birth by caesarean section. He thought it was a monster inside, but he didn't expect that after the caesarean section, there was a piece of extremely hard black iron in his stomach. . The story of Ganjiang Moxie is full of exaggerated local rumors, many places are very unreasonable, including the second half of the story, the son of Chi, the general, was decapitated by Moxie's sword for revenge, but his head could not die?Mo Xiejian beheaded three people in a row, including Chi, Wu Wang, and that strange man of unknown origin. Although the heads of the three were all severed, they were all alive?

And, who is that mysterious man? Lei was puzzled by the strange appearance of this man. A man of unknown origin was willing to avenge Chi, and this man was obviously quite familiar with Mo Xiejian. Originally, the legend of the two swords is like an ordinary Chinese myth, even if it is full of weirdness, it is just a myth Now, if they prove that the two unearthed swords are not ordinary twin swords, they are the famous couple twin swords in history, Gan Jiang and Mo Xie!Does that indirectly prove that this bizarre Spring and Autumn myth is actually true?Thinking of this, Lei couldn't help but feel a little hairy.

Dr. Lei, the results of the tests you ordered me to arrange are back!Xiao Huang's high-pitched voice rang in Dr. Lei's ears, waking him up from deep thought. The result is out, how is it?Dr. Lei turned his head and saw Xiao Huang holding a large stack of documents in his hand. The results are hard to tell, there is good news and bad news, doctor, which one do you want to hear first?Xiao Huang laughed. Ha, good news bad news?Xiao Huang, good!You also come to play this set with me.Well let's hear the good news first.Dr. Lei smiled slightly and said. The good news is that according to the results of radioactive dating, these two swords are indeed ancient swords dating back two thousand years. In other words, these two swords are indeed famous swords from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

good!Dr. Lei slapped his thigh hard, and he was only one step away from proving that this is Mo Xie!What about the bad news? The bad news is that Xiao Huang put the thick stack of documents in front of Dr. Lei, and the heavy documents fell on the table with a loud bang.These two swords contain a very strange substance, no one knows what it is ah?Dr. Lei froze, what do you mean? That is, all instruments cannot read the data of this metal.Xiao Huang smiled wryly, doctor, you see, these materials, including magnetic test, resistance test, and even the results of SEM and TEM, are all similar.

Dr. Lei frowned, and picked up the first sheet of paper on the stack of materials, on which was written: Experimental name: go-getters SEM (scanning electron microscope) test results: Copper content: 48% Magnesium content: 0.5% Carbon content: 1.5% Unknowns: 50% Unknown atomic weight?Atom arrangement? There is no such thing, and there is no matching element data in the computer Dr. Lei was a little surprised. The phrase "no such thing found, no matching element data on the computer" means that no element matching this unknown can be found in the computer of SEM.However, this SEM computer clearly stores all the element tables on earth!

hell!Doesn't this unknown exist on Earth? Dr. Lei turned to the next page. This page is the measurement result of TEM, and the writing method is the same. The next page is also the same, and the next page is also the same. Each page marks the existence of this unknown object, but its characteristics cannot be analyzed. These two twin swords were born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It stands to reason that it was an era when bronze swords and iron swords coexisted.If the information shows that the material of the sword is copper or iron, it will not be surprising, but the unknown substances contained in these two swords have surpassed the scope of current scientific knowledge.

What's this?Something from an alien planet? Dr. Lei frowned, and he suddenly thought of something, because there is such a passage in ancient Chinese mythology: King Wu's concubine saw a blue shooting star at night, and she suddenly became pregnant that night. After three years of pregnancy, she gave birth to a piece of black iron. This piece of black iron was the material for Mo Xie. Dr. Lei stood up suddenly, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, and muttered.Are the twin swords really not a product of the earth?Not impossible, everything has its explanation Dr. Lei, what do you think? Xiao Huang hesitated for a long time. Could these two swords really be made of materials other than the earth?

ah!Dr. Lei suddenly thought of something, his whole body was shocked, and he walked straight to the antiquities laboratory, Xiao Huang, hurry up!Let's go see the twin swords! PhD?PhD?Xiao Huang was so confused that he had no choice but to grab the stack of materials on the table and run to follow Dr. Lei. The doctor's speed was extremely fast, the password was unlocked, the fingerprint was identified, and with a beep, the silver-white laboratory door slowly opened. The doctor didn't wait for the door to be fully opened, and slipped through on one side of his body. Xiao Huang followed a few steps behind, panting.

Xiao Huang stepped into the antiquities laboratory in a hurry, and suddenly felt the darkness in front of him, and he was shocked. In order to protect the antiquities, the antiquities laboratory has a temperature maintenance system, a 24-hour uninterruptible power supply device, and a total of three auxiliary generators. The motor maintains the power here, so it should be brightly lit! PhD! !PhD! !Out of power?where are you?Xiao Huang shouted anxiously in the darkness. As a young man, he couldn't help worrying about Dr. Lei's safety and the fear of the unknown darkness. He shouted, but there was a faint nasal sound in his voice. Doctor where are you?Answer me quickly!what on earth is it?answer me quickly Just when Xiao Huang was about to cry but had no tears, suddenly, a very weak blue light lit up about ten meters in front of him. Ah, Xiao Huang took a step back suddenly, a turquoise light?Isn't this the color of will-o'-the-wisps?Xiao Huang has been archaeological for many years, and he has always been calm about ghosts.But at this moment the situation was completely out of control, coupled with the darkness in front of his eyes, and seeing the strange green light suddenly, Xiao Huang only felt cold sweat running down his back, and his hair stood on end. Besides, the color of this emerald green light is really weird, it is different from all the green lights in Xiao Huang's memory. fear. Just when Xiao Huang was considering whether to catch the will-o’-the-wisp or run away, the doctor’s voice came from the darkness ahead. It turned out that it was green light!Why didn't I think of it at the beginning?Strangely, the doctor's voice was next to Qingguang, and he sounded quite excited, not frightened by the will-o'-the-wisp at all. Doctor doctor how are you?Xiao Huang asked softly, he was afraid that speaking too loudly would irritate the green light who didn't know if it was a will-o'-the-wisp, and that would be bad. OK, of course the voice of the good doctor replied in the dark, Xiao Huang, where are you?Can you do me a favor and turn on the light at the door? Huh?Xiao Huang opened his mouth wide, doctor, didn't the power go off just now?Did you cut the lights off? Of course.This antiquities laboratory is protected by three backup generators, as you know.Open it quickly, I discovered a secret of the double swords.said the doctor's voice. Xiao Huang scratched his hair and found the light switch in the dark. With a bang, the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling flickered twice, and the whole laboratory was brightened up immediately. Xiao Huang waited for a few seconds, his eyes fully adapted to the bright light, and he saw clearly that the doctor was squatting next to the glass box where the two swords were placed. Doctor what is going on?Xiao Huang was frightened once, and said weakly. Xiao Huang, did you see that turquoise light just now? Yes, I have.Xiao Huang looked at the doctor, then at the two swords, and suddenly thought, could the blue light just come from the two swords? That's right!Now I can be sure that the material of the double swords is indeed meteorite.The doctor smiled. Doctor, I don't understand!What is meteorite?What does this have to do with Qing Guang just now?And why turn off the lights?I don't understand! !I don't understand everything! !Xiao Huang scratched his head and said in pain. Meteorite is actually the metal in meteorites. Later generations call it meteorite. If the material of the double swords is not a product of the earth, and it contains components that cannot be analyzed by earth instruments, then it makes sense. So what does this have to do with turning off the lights and still having the green light? I turned off the light just now, and then irradiated the two swords with high-frequency ultraviolet light, in order to see the reaction of the two swords after absorbing the ultraviolet light.According to Chinese legend, the material for refining the double swords is a turquoise shooting star from the outer sky. Although I don’t know why it can make the princess pregnant, at least I know that it will appear in outer space, that is, in an environment with more ultraviolet light. green.This proves that it is a piece of meteorite. Hmm Xiao Huang nodded half understanding. And I also observed a rather peculiar phenomenon just now, the blue lights of the two swords not only flicker, but also like the heartbeat of a human being, one after another, slowly and regularly, the blue lights of the two swords will also echo each other, Shining, gives a rather bizarre feeling. Xiao Huang, who was beating like a human heart, showed a strange expression.Doctor, it's really strange for you to describe it like this Before Xiao Huang finished speaking, suddenly, the phone of the Antiquities Laboratory rang. Xiao Huang picked up the microphone, hello On the other end of the phone, the voice of the excavator came, hello!Is Dr. Lei here?Someone was looking for him outside the tent. Huh?Who is looking for a doctor?Xiao Huang asked. I don't know, he refused to say, he was only willing to tell the doctor. OK, I'll pass it on to the Dr.Xiao Huang hung up the phone and exchanged a puzzled look with the doctor. Who is it?Who would come to this place where birds don't lay eggs to find a doctor who makes a living in archeology?
