Lu Zhou didn't want to go to the office after class.
He called Zhao Huan and asked her to arrange a time for his master's interview. He then went to the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
Ever since the lucky draw, Debris No.3 had been in his system space for a while.
Almost every night before going to bed, he would go into the system space and take it out for a while. Unfortunately, he could only see a projection in the system space; he couldn't see the internal structure.
Lu Zhou was eager to figure out what it was. He couldn't wait any longer.
He went to the main building of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study and took the elevator to the sample warehouse on the second basement floor.
He walked to the end of the sample warehouse corridor and stood in front of a thick alloy door. Lu Zhou reached out and entered the password on the electronic lock. He then aimed his eyes at the camera on the door and completed the iris recognition.
After a series of security procedures were passed, the alloy door slowly opened, revealing a passage to the third basement floor.
When Lu Zhou received the "Debris No.1" from the system, he considered the possibility that he might not be able to take out a large piece of debris in the future.
Therefore, when he was building the Institute for Advanced Study, he specifically asked the contractor to design a hidden structure on the second basement floor as his private laboratory.
Of course, this was still part of the sample warehouse. However, this sample warehouse was located underground in the main building and wasn't commonly used.
Because the research at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study itself involved relatively sensitive fields, such as the SG-1 superconducting magnet.
Therefore, keeping the sample warehouse a secret wouldn't be out of place.
Even if an intruder sneaked in, all of the cameras and security procedures here were connected to Xiao Ai's server.
In the case of an intruder, Lu Zhou only needed to cut off the elevator system and seal the alloy door from the inside. This would be enough to trap the intruder on the second basement floor.
If necessary, he could even take the initiative to turn off the air exchange system on the second basement floor …
Of course, Lu Zhou didn't think this function would be useful.
After all, with Xiao Ai guarding the elevator, ordinary people wouldn't have the opportunity to enter the second basement floor without permission.
After passing through the alloy door that led to the third underground floor, Lu Zhou continued forward.
As they walked through the corridor outside the lab, the drone lying quietly in front of the door lit up with a green light. It spun its two pairs of rotors and flew up, swaying behind Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou ignored Xiao Ai, who was curiously following him. He stood in the middle of the empty laboratory and took a deep breath. He entered the system space and selected Debris No.3.
In the next second, Lu Zhou, who had left the System Space, opened his eyes.
In front of him, the pitch-black shadow gradually outlined the outline of the wreckage. Then, the outline was gradually filled by an unknown substance from the inside. Gradually, the outer shell of the wreckage began to emit a metallic luster under the light …
No matter how many times he watched the process of projecting items from the system into reality, he couldn't help but be shocked.
This was a method of transportation that defied the laws of physics known to mankind. Even with his imagination, it was difficult for him to figure out how the System did it.
Teleportation? Or was it the three-dimensional expansion of some two-dimensional material? Or was it based on some special laws of physics …
For safety reasons, before approaching the device, Lu Zhou used a device to test its gamma value.
After confirming that there were no radioactive or abnormal electromagnetic signals, he put on a pair of white plastic gloves. He took out a flashlight and a pair of pliers from the toolbox and walked toward the wreckage of the advanced civilization's engine.
After finding the location of the fracture caused by an unknown object, Lu Zhou used the flashlight to observe the internal structure of the wreckage.
It was different from the projection image he saw in the System Space. This time, he finally saw the internal structure clearly.
Unlike what he had imagined, he originally thought that the interior of this device from an advanced civilization would give him a sense of science fiction. What he did not expect was that what was presented in front of him was a pile of debris that looked like space garbage, as well as a large number of broken or intact wires.
First, he used a high-resolution camera to take a few pictures of the internal structure. After doing this, Lu Zhou finally began to study the device, or rather, dissect it.
Lu Zhou chose a wire that had its shell peeled off. He pinched the wire and gently rubbed it. The hardened wire shell quickly turned into a powdery substance, revealing a silver inner core that was as thin as a hair.
"Wire? Or fiber? "
Lu Zhou used a pair of pliers to cut off a section of the silver wire. He placed it in a sample box and labeled it "Sample A". He also briefly described the location of the sample and planned to take it outside for analysis.
Then, Lu Zhou bit the flashlight in his mouth and crawled into the fracture on the side of the engine.
Following the string of wires, Lu Zhou quickly found what he wanted to find.
He saw that the intricate lines were finally connected to a black board.
Lu Zhou reached out and gently pulled the silver wires. He found that it was easy to pull them off.
He was surprised. He reached out and picked up the broken board. The material and purpose of the board were unknown. He then slowly climbed out of the engine.
Under the light of the laboratory, Lu Zhou carefully looked at the half of the board in his hand. He frowned.
"A circuit board?"
There seemed to be a layer of black paint on the surface of the board.
He didn't know if it was because of the age or something else, but with just a gentle swipe, the black layer faded from the board.
Lu Zhou looked at the stains on the plastic gloves. He frowned and rubbed his index finger and thumb together.
He felt the smooth and delicate texture. His heart was moved.
"… Graphite?"
The moment Lu Zhou discovered this phenomenon, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Carbon!
It's actually carbon!
There was no reason why an engineer from an advanced civilization would connect a string of wires to graphite that had no use.
Therefore, this graphite should have been formed from other carbon-based materials after the device was subjected to a severe impact or a high temperature of more than three thousand degrees!
Following this train of thought, the substrate in his hand was most likely an "integrated circuit board" for carbon-based chips, or at least something similar!
If this speculation was correct, the advanced civilization that owned this wreckage was likely to have achieved the level of carbon-based electronic components!
The only problem was that the most critical part of this circuit board, which was the carbon-based electronic components, including the carbon-based chips, were completely graphite …
"It's really convenient to keep things made of carbon material a secret …"
Lu Zhou placed this suspected circuit board fragment into a slightly larger sample box. He sighed in his heart.
However, it wasn't like he didn't gain anything.
To a large extent, knowing that this technical route was feasible was already a very important piece of information in itself.
Next, it wasn't just the Eastern Production and Research Institute that would participate in the research and development of this technology.
When Lu Zhou looked at the wreckage, his eyes lit up with a burning desire for knowledge.
As expected, his judgment was correct.
This thing was a treasure trove!
If only I had a helper to dig with me …
Lu Zhou suddenly spoke.
"Xiao Ai."
"Yeah?"
The drone behind him made a sound of doubt.
Lu Zhou: "Do you want this body?"
"Body? I want it! Master, master, can I really? You're not lying to me? "Xiao Ai said excitedly as he swayed in the air.
"Yeah …"
