Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

The strange 'sand' made everyone present feel that Monk Zhang Er was confused.

Everyone is not a fool.

Just by looking at its tightly protected posture, you can realize that this must be a very precious thing.

Judging from the sturdiness of each of the three containers, the goods in sample warehouse No. 3 are obviously more valuable than the other two.

...at least, that's how it looks from the outside.

Moreover, the time to decipher it is also longer than that of Sample Library No. 1 and Sample Library No. 2.

If anything, the things in this box are not treasures.

Su Wen was the first to believe it.

The issue is...

——Why is this just such a small thing?

Container No. 3 is very big, but the box inside is only slightly bigger than an adult's fist at most.

Guess...

About the same size as a mooncake box.

A large vault that has to be two or three meters square to house such a gadget makes people extremely puzzled.

The main thing is a contrast.

As for what's inside the box...well less.

The box itself is already very small, so needless to say the volume occupied by the contents.

"Does this... fill a spoon?"

Su Wen looked at the box with suspicion.

The latter has been carefully taken out and put into a display cabinet equipped with a multi-layer radiation blocking coating. It will be transported to the dedicated trace substance detection laboratory in the scientific research department park for further research and analysis. .

"In terms of volume, it should be barely full,"

Although his question was a bit nonsensical, Helena still answered seriously,

Then he said, "Relative to its volume, the density of this material is even more exaggerated:

According to the scanning readings of the high-precision mass detector, the total weight of such a small spoonful of unknown powdery substance in the box...is less than one microgram. "

"...less than a microgram?"

Su Wen looked at the small, crystal clear box in astonishment.

In the small box, the colorful powdery unknown substance is still flowing with a dazzling brilliance.

Who would have thought that this powder, which looks like it is ground from some kind of precious gemstone, is as light as catkins?

"I thought..."

He looked at the moved box and hesitated to speak.

...Su Wen also thought that no matter what, even if it was just a tablespoon at most, it would still have more than ten carats, or even one or two grams.

Who would have thought that there is not even a microgram of it.

So, if you put it in a container, you are just pretending to be lonely.

"Although we don't know the specific purpose of this container, we have no way of knowing whether it is 'for display purposes only' or if it has 'actual value in research or production.'

Based on the lack of information in this area, it is difficult for us to infer the specific rareness, output, and processing difficulty of this...unidentified substance powder based on our current limited understanding."

Helena listed the difficult points one by one in an orderly manner. Su Wen couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

"But it must be a relatively rare material, that's for sure.

What is difficult to determine is just how rare it is. "

"Judging from the preliminary scanning data, it should have extremely excellent hardness, rigidity, ductility, and a very, very low, almost negligible density. This extremely light powder should be able to be used in many applications. Industrial fields, such as making armor shells or processing certain precision components..."

To Su Wen's right, Azuma was also talking about her thoughts from the test data.

"But... I estimate that this will not be its true best use - this container, and all the items in it, are undoubtedly the heritage of the Confederation of Stars.

Judging from the latter's performance in engineering, architecture, and materials science, they probably have no shortage of hard materials for armor and structure..."

Su Wen nodded, hearing the song and knowing its elegant meaning:

"So, it is very likely that this unknown substance powder is used elsewhere?"

"indeed.

Judging from such a rare preservation amount and such exaggerated preservation methods, it is unlikely that it is a universal material...

...just like no one would spend a lot of money to build a vault that is tighter than the Federal Reserve vault just to store a small box of cement powder.

At the very least, it should be within the category of 'gems, precious metals, and rare materials'.

I just don’t know which field it will be used in - of course, this should not be difficult to find out. After all, the application fields of materials and their unique properties are inseparable. We can wait for in-depth research data from the laboratory. After it comes out, we will do analysis."

Azuma said, "The only difficulty...well, it can only be the scarcity of them."

"Too few samples is really not a good thing,"

Helena echoed with great empathy, wondering if this brought back some deep memories of her work.

"It's just such a small amount, I'm afraid it's not enough to do several analysis experiments."

"When the new ship is built, we can send people to explore the truth."

Su Wen squeezed her little hand and comforted her,

"A monk who can run away can't run away from the temple. There are so many properties of the Federation of Stars in the Haijin Star Territory.

Let our people go back and search carefully, and there will always be some clues left. "

"I have a hunch...the origin of this thing is not too small, and it may even be scary.

You know, it was a once super civilization.

Nothing about them is simple and easy to understand.

We have to be patient, and in addition, maintain a sufficient sense of expectation..."

Su Wen muttered something mysteriously, as if he was possessed by a magic stick.

Fellows of the Federation of Stars...I haven't found their treasure yet.

Could it be that the clues about their 'fellow's gift' are hidden in this powder of unknown composition?

It’s very exciting!

..

That small box of unknown substance powder is undoubtedly the most important discovery in this mysterious container.

However, its amount is too small after all.

Moreover, it is not an artifact of sufficient value, just a small handful of damaged material powder - it is too fine and it is difficult to find any clues from it.

We can only rely on various analytical experiments to forcibly decipher its secrets.

It's almost like finding a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, just like what he said when he told Helena, Su Wen calmed down and slowly waited for the progress of the scientific research department.

...Moreover, this unknown powder is not the only thing worthy of further research.

Inside the encryption container, there are three small vaults.

Among them, the contents of the first vault have been determined to be of little value:

That is a large box of various books that have been carefully preserved. Most of them are made of very original materials.

It can be clearly seen that they are things like 'cultural relics' and 'historical materials'.

As soon as the cabinet was moved to the research room, the contents inside were deciphered.

There are no sophisticated passwords on it, nor are there any encryption firewalls. Even the text is very simple and easy to decipher.

The contents inside are basically numerous ancient historical materials.

It records various past events thousands of years ago before the Federation of Stars was established, and even before the ancient Haijin people went to the stars.

In addition, there are some things that clearly belong to the nature of "original historical materials of major historical events".

It can be seen that the predecessors who preserved these things did most of the processing on them, which was anti-corrosion and anti-rust.

From this point of view, their status as 'cultural relics' can be confirmed.

Su Wen guessed.

These things, in the era of the Confederation of Stars.

their historical and cultural status.

It was as if the original world of "Yongle Dian", the original "Declaration of Independence" and the original "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" were the same before I traveled through time.

Although it has no scientific and technological value, it is not a priceless magic weapon.

However, its cultural value is extremely high and it is still an undoubted 'national treasure'.

Therefore, even after thousands of years, it is still protected with great care.

The processes and consumables required to carefully preserve them may be more expensive than maintaining a battleship.

In this case, it is not surprising that they are stored in encrypted containers.

"It's a pity that they are of little use to us.

We can't expect that the ancient history of Haijin, which is tens of thousands of years ago, can bring any help to the current empire, right?

After collecting them all...it will have the effect of 'Sociology +3', which is pretty much it. "

After Su Wen read it, he sighed with disappointment.

"...Forget it, after you record the data and make backups, find a place to seal these originals.

Although it has no actual value, it is still a unique and precious historical material.

Although we must adhere to the principle of "the interests of the empire come first", if this principle is not affected and the other party is not hostile to us,

The achievements, history, culture, and related materials of any civilization are worthy of our minimum respect. "

“Even if we think of the universe as a dark forest, where everyone is either friend or enemy,

But if we look at it from a higher perspective, no matter what race, as long as they are intelligent beings, they can all be regarded as fellow travelers on the road of pursuing truth and pursuing knowledge."

"After all...the civilization they represent has passed away.

These things are one of the few legacies left by a super civilization.

Store them properly and consider building a museum later...

...If you ask me, given the size of the empire, it can still fit a tombstone.

Even if it's a stranger's tombstone. "

He said somewhat sadly.
