#835 - Chapter 835 Ultra-light special alloy? Targeting research and development, global positioning
Underground.
An alien civilization's world.
An old man stood before a massive gate.
The gate towered seventy to eighty meters high, surrounded by endless rock layers, as if built into the mountainside.
Covered in rust, the gate spoke of the vicissitudes of time.
Inside the gate.
Therefore, all the high-level officials reached a consensus: first master the language and find the enemy's weaknesses.
If they rashly used the divine weapons…
Their opponent's strength was not to be underestimated.
Who knew if the divine weapons would be destroyed?
"Sir!"
Suddenly!
A man approached, lowering his voice: "An anomaly has occurred!"
Moments later.
He activated some device, projecting a holographic image.
It was one of the robots!
They had deployed many disguised robots to the surface world, secretly gathering information about the appearance, skin color, and other characteristics of the people in corresponding regions before deploying them—to avoid easy detection.
However…
These high-level officials discovered a problem.
The surface world had numerous races and many languages.
The robots deployed to different regions had to learn different languages.
Fortunately!
The plan was proceeding smoothly.
Until now.
One of the robots had two incidents in a single day.
"Sir, could this spy robot… be exposed?" the man asked worriedly.
"Don't panic!"
The old man stared at the screen.
His understanding of the surface world was limited; he had never even seen an excavator.
But!
Body language and expressions couldn't deceive anyone.
The building in the image was dilapidated.
The excavator was clearly there to demolish the old building.
"See that?"
The old man pointed at the screen, sneering: "From their voices and expressions, you can tell they didn't know there was a robot inside. The robot suddenly ran out of a building that was empty and about to be demolished…"
The other party panicked, leading to operational errors.
The excavator bucket accidentally struck the robot.
Furthermore.
Those who demolish old buildings are workers in the social division of labor, not soldiers with strong insight.
In fact, even if they were worried about the robot being exposed, recalling or destroying it wouldn't change anything.
Chen Hao's purpose had already been achieved!
…
More than an hour after the demolition farce ended.
Chen Hao returned to Chuncheng from Qujing.
Yun Dian University.
The materials laboratory had been requisitioned.
More than an hour ago, Xiang Yan excitedly shouted, 'Got it!' What exactly did he get?
Chen Hao carefully took out the grinder.
Don't underestimate its palm-sized size; it was a very small grinder, but the material used for the grinding head came from Han Ding Materials—the new material technology Chen Hao provided back then, some of which had already been popularized in the civilian market.
There were residual unknown metal powders on the grinding head.
This was the goal!
Pretending to be a demolition worker, he 'accidentally' injured the robot, and then pretended to be concerned and gathered around.
Just touching it with the grinder…
A little powder?
Was enough!
Time passed, and his solemn expression lasted for a long time, from just past noon until dark.
This was a special alloy.
Every element was already present on Earth, but this alloy… Chen Hao had never seen it!
High hardness.
Strong toughness.
Not particularly amazing?
But!
While retaining the hardness comparable to fine steel and the toughness comparable to aluminum alloy, this alloy had a very low density.
According to this density, it could completely make the robot weigh about the same as a human!
The alien civilization was very meticulous!
If common metals were used, the robot would be very heavy, becoming a factor for exposure.
But what they didn't know was…
Their so-called meticulousness ruined everything!
How to find those spy robots among billions of people?
First.
Lock onto points that are different from humans.
When it is discovered that the material used to make the robots is an alloy not found in surface civilization…
It's simple!
Create a special instrument to detect the unseen alloy.
The instrument will warn as soon as it detects it.
The power must be great.
Mounted on a satellite and launched into orbit by a rocket, it is estimated that only a few dozen satellites will be able to achieve global coverage, and then…
The spy robots will have nowhere to hide!
Of course, it takes time to research and manufacture the instrument, and it takes time to launch the satellite.
With China's national system, plus the complete technology he provides, it should be completed within a month.
Must be as soon as possible!
The spy robots may have been sent here for some time.
Who knows how many languages they have mastered?
However, mastering the language is just the beginning; the information the alien civilization wants to obtain should include two aspects.
Can surface civilization penetrate the Mariana Trench?
This…
Is difficult to find out!
The other is the weaknesses of surface civilization.
In short.
Now both sides are learning each other's languages in different ways to find the weaknesses of the other's civilization.
Must race against time!
He glanced at the wall clock, and Chen Hao let out a long breath.
It was past eight o'clock.
He hadn't eaten since entering the lab.
The situation was urgent, but now going to the airport and then back to Shanghai, and then from Shanghai Airport to the city, and then going to the small building in Jiaotong University to export the relevant technical data—this back and forth would definitely be until dawn.
He couldn't possibly pull those scientists and engineers up in the middle of the night to do research, right?
So.
He walked out of the Materials Science Laboratory and called General Wang.
To prepare what manpower.
To prepare rockets and satellites carrying instruments.
"By the way!"
After explaining all the links, General Wang said: "Commander, the faculty and staff team of Shenzhou Institute of Technology has been officially selected."
At the Science and Technology Exchange Conference before, Chen Hao introduced many top scientists.
But it was all bluff!
Was it just to create momentum and publicize it through live broadcast?
For example, Qian Lao, Pan Wei, and Song Wencong all have important jobs and can only serve as various honorary titles, and it would be good to take two classes in their spare time. As for the real faculty and staff team…
The scientists at the scene were all rounded up, including professors from top universities.
"By the way!"
Chen Hao's heart moved: "Have the admission scores been released?"
"They have been released."
General Wang began to introduce in detail.
The top 200 in each province, autonomous region, and municipality, which means there are more than 6,000 people in the country, but Shenzhou Institute of Technology only admits 2,000 people.
The admission method is not average for each province.
The population of each province is different, the number of people participating in the college entrance examination is different, and the quality of education is also different.
The top scorer in the college entrance examination in some provinces cannot enter the top 10 in other provinces!
"How many people were admitted in Yun Dian Province?" Chen Hao asked again.
"26 people."
26?
Chen Hao was stunned: "By the way! The college entrance examination candidate who discovered the robot, I think you mentioned… he was the 28th in Yun Dian Province?"
General Wang immediately guessed his intention.
For that candidate, it may just be a matter of course: he bumped into someone, accidentally discovered a shocking secret, and because he had seen the 'Terminator' movie, in a panic… calling the police is a very normal behavior.
But!
For China, and even for all mankind, he has made a great contribution!
