Many people could not help but gasp when they saw the cutter head that looked like it had been gnawed on by a dog. Professor Charles was also a little embarrassed. He simply continued. "Continue to replace it with a harder cutter head. Also, test the strength, toughness, plasticity, and tensile strength of the metal."
After that, there was a long series of tests. Even after the test results were completed, the metal the size of a fingernail was still as strong as ever.
When all the performance tests were completed, everyone looked at this piece of metal with even more enthusiasm...
"If we use the Mohs hardness scale to measure it, the hardness of this piece of metal has exceeded 10M."
Professor Charles took the test report from the tester and at the same time, he murmured in a low voice. He seemed to be worried that Chen Chen would not understand, so he began to explain.
"The so-called Mohs hardness refers to the ability of one substance to scratch another. It was first developed by a German mineralogist, Mohs, to determine the hardness of minerals."
He took the report and placed it in front of Chen Chen. "In this hardness scale, the commonly seen metal lead is only 1.5M. The hardness of human fingernails is 2-3M. The hardness of metal aluminum is 2-2.5M, iron is 4-5M, glass is 5.5M... Diamond, the hardest of all, has a hardness of 10M!"
Chen Chen expressed his understanding when he heard this. Even the cutter head made of diamond could not leave a mark on this piece of metal. The hardness of this piece of metal was far beyond the range of human measurement.
"Not only that..."
Professor Charles continued to explain, "The isotope of this piece of aluminum is also extremely resistant to wear and corrosion. The tensile strength at room temperature exceeds the measurement limit of 5000MPa. It can withstand the extrusion test of a 1200-ton hydraulic press. The melting point also exceeds the temperature limit of hafnium alloys in human materials, 4215 ℃, reaching an astonishing 12000 ℃! The reason for this is that its neutron content is highly imbalanced, which makes it very insensitive to energy transmission. It's also difficult for heat and waves to be transmitted at the atomic level. "
Chen Chen nodded when he heard this, then smiled again. "Not bad, but compared to this, I'm more interested in its price and production capacity."
"One hundred thousand dollars per gram."
After thinking for a while, Professor Charles estimated, "That's just the maintenance fee for the particle accelerator. Also, the production capacity isn't high. Even with continuous operation for a month, the production capacity is only about one kilogram."
Chen Chen did not say much when he heard this. This price was within his expectations.
The reason why the high-offset metal was called this was because the metal atoms were filled with a large number of extra neutrons, causing the elemental structure to shift. That was why the finished product was called a high-offset metal. In fact, it referred to the phenomenon of neutron shift in the aluminum.
Because of this, the price of this isotope had far exceeded that of gold. Although it wasn't as high as some of the artificial elements after number 100 on the periodic table, it was almost there.
It seemed that if he wanted to produce this element, he would need specialized equipment.
Chen Chen thought to himself.
…
After that, Chen Chen allowed Professor Charles to continue his research. After all, Professor Charles was a researcher of particle physics, not an engineer. Creating the high-offset metal was just a side project. If he was asked to specifically create this material, it would be like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken.
Now that this isotope has been created, the next step is to develop a special equipment for producing this substance, thereby reducing operating costs and increasing production, and this technology will be completed by someone else.
After coming out of the particle physics department, Chen Chen thought about it and decided not to train his Field energy according to his usual plan. Now that the growth of his Field energy had passed the explosive period and was beginning to stabilize, Chen Chen found that as long as he trained diligently, his Field energy would continue to grow.
Compared to three years ago, Chen Chen's Field energy had improved by several levels, be it in terms of explosiveness or precision. There was no comparison at all.
However, today, Chen Chen had decided to do something else.
Once again, he walked into the teleportation room at the top of the Spire's laboratory. With the black sphere's teleportation, when he opened his eyes again, he appeared in another teleportation room with a black sphere. When he walked out of the teleportation room, he saw that he had appeared on a huge black cruise ship.
This cruise ship was pitch-black all over, with a length of more than 400 meters and a width of 80 meters. Even if Usain Bolt came in person, it would take him eight seconds to run from one side of the ship to the other. Its displacement exceeded that of an aircraft carrier, reaching a staggering 400,000 tons.
This cruise ship was the Blacklight, which Chen Chen had spent 1.5 billion US dollars to customize and had been in the water for six years.
At this time, the Blacklight was docked on the high seas. There was no end in sight, only about a hundred Black Knights were working on it, driving the entire cruise ship to wander on the sea.
"Now, we're in the high seas of the Indian Ocean. There are no ships passing within a radius of 5,000 kilometers and there are no satellite surveillance overhead."
Little X's voice came from the headset. "Sir Godfather, are you really going to start the test now?"
"Get ready to start. I've been thinking about it for a week. No matter what, I have to face it."
Chen Chen nodded and then walked directly out of the teleportation room, then took the elevator to the deck on the first floor of the cruise ship. At the same time, he took out a shiny, rectangular object from his pocket.
This rectangular object was white all over, even under the bright sunlight, the fluorescence on its surface could still be seen. The only thing that could be seen at the end was a metallic USB port.
This was a USB flash drive.
That was right, this USB flash drive was what Chen Chen relied on from the beginning to now, when he had nothing at all.
It was just that unlike the black, unremarkable USB flash drive of the past, the shell of the USB flash drive was now covered in fluorescent light. This fluorescence was nothing else but the starlight that had appeared on it before.
A long time ago, Chen Chen had discovered that after a certain amount of electricity was charged, the surface of the USB flash drive would begin to flicker with light, just like the dazzling stars in the night sky. Moreover, the more electricity was charged, the more starlight there would be.
Now, Chen Chen had not used it for the past three years. At the same time, there were three high-power nuclear fusion reactors in the Spire laboratory charging it day and night. Now that the electricity had accumulated to a certain level, for the first time, the USB flash drive stopped absorbing electricity.
This USB flash drive was filled to the brim...
All of this made Chen Chen's jaw drop.
This was the characteristic of a fully charged USB flash drive. The scattered starlight on the surface of the USB flash drive had completely connected, turning the black USB flash drive into an LED light. It also looked like a glow stick that was constantly glowing on its own. It was a rather comical sight.
It had been a full week since the USB flash drive was fully charged. During this time, Chen Chen had been thinking about how he should experiment every day. This was because Chen Chen remembered that the USB flash drive had experienced a change before.
It was the first time the starlight appeared on the USB flash drive. At that time, the USB flash drive suddenly activated a new function, which was to create a Schwarzschild throat that could freely enter and exit, allowing living beings to travel between the real world and the movie world.
Now, the USB flash drive had experienced a second change. Based on the previous pattern, could it be assumed that the USB flash drive had activated a new function?
No, it was not accurate to describe it as "activated". It should be called "unlocked". This was because the functions of the USB flash drive were there in the first place. Only when the electricity reached a certain level would these functions be unlocked.
Therefore, in order to verify the current changes of the USB flash drive, Chen Chen finally chose an uninhabited area of the sea and prepared to conduct the test on his Blacklight Cruise.
These thoughts flashed through Chen Chen's mind in an instant. After that, two Black Knights brought a table and a laptop and placed them in front of Chen Chen. This was all the preparatory work.
Seeing this, Chen Chen pondered for a moment. Finally, he took a deep breath and slowly inserted the glowing USB flash drive into the laptop in front of him...
"Ding dong!"
Following the soft sound of the Windows operating system, the USB flash drive was successfully identified. A new removable drive symbol option appeared on the screen.
Seeing this, Chen Chen gently slid his finger over the touch panel. After that, with a click, he clicked on the removable drive symbol on the laptop.
Instantly, rows of familiar yet unfamiliar movie names appeared on the laptop screen.
Seeing these names, Chen Chen thought for a moment. He did not recklessly open the movies, but instead, dragged a copy of Resident Evil from the computer and inserted it into the USB flash drive.
The reason for this was that Chen Chen understood that in the face of infinite unknowns, the only way to minimize the potential dangers was to "choose the lesser of two evils".
Although it took a full three years to fully charge the USB flash drive, it was likely that there was only one opportunity for this experiment. However, as the nuclear fusion reactor technology became more mature in the future, the charging speed would also increase. Therefore, Chen Chen would rather open a worthless but extremely low-risk Resident Evil than an extremely valuable but unknown dimension.
With this in mind, Chen Chen dragged Resident Evil into the USB flash drive and gently clicked on it...
"Click!"
Following a soft sound, Chen Chen suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing toward him.
The breeze ruffled Chen Chen's hair, but Chen Chen seemed to feel that something was wrong. This was because although he was on the deck, the sea was calm at this time. Even the sea breeze was blocked by the 60-meter tall ship tower. This gust of wind was coming from the direction of the screen...
Subconsciously, Chen Chen quickly retreated, far away from the computer screen.
"Crash!"
In the next second, the entire Blacklight Cruise suddenly shook violently. At the same time, there was a wail like that of a giant beast on the verge of death. The ship that was sailing began to tear apart bit by bit!
This kind of tearing began from the ship tower on the deck level. The Blacklight Cruise Ship was 75 meters tall, on which there were a total of 15 floors above the deck, towering like a skyscraper. However, at this time, these buildings were twisting and tearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the parts that were torn apart strangely disappeared...
No, not disappeared, but seemed to have entered another space!
Chen Chen's pupils shrank slightly. He quickly left the Blacklight Cruise and floated in the air. Only then did he notice that on the deck of the Blacklight Cruise, a strange spot of light had appeared out of thin air!
This spot of light was irregular in shape and had a diameter of nearly a hundred meters. It hung at the height of the deck of the Blacklight Cruise. At this time, as the Blacklight Cruise sailed, the ship tower that passed by the spot of light disappeared bit by bit. At the edge of the spot of light and the Blacklight Cruise, it was rapidly tearing apart at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In the face of the huge kinetic energy of the Blacklight Cruise, even steel was as fragile as a piece of paper!
That spot of light...
Chen Chen's pupils shrank slightly. The spot of light looked as fragile as a soap bubble, but it was firmly fixed in the void. The Blacklight Cruise was like a boat made of paper, any part that came into contact with the spot of light was rapidly torn apart and disappeared!
That spot of light was a wormhole!
At this moment, Chen Chen came to a realization. Unlike the black Schwarzschild throat produced by the USB drive that was only the size of a screen, this was a much larger wormhole that would not shift with the size of the screen. Could it be...
Chen Chen's heart skipped a beat. He had a vague suspicion that this was a permanently solidified wormhole!
No, at this stage, it could no longer be called a Schwarzschild's Throat or a wormhole. This huge spot of light in front of him should have a more serious name in the physics world – Rosen Bridge!
The reason Chen Chen thought that this was a permanent existence was because the spot of light did not move along with the computer screen. This was the biggest proof!
This was because Chen Chen had tried opening the channel with the USB drive many times before. Although the previous channels could pass through humans and a few large machines, from the outside, they were only the size of a computer screen. Even if the computer was moved or destroyed, the stability of the channel would not be affected. There was only one way to close the channel, which was to unplug the USB drive.
Now, not only was the spot of light larger, but it also remained in place even when the computer screen moved along with the Blacklight Cruise. This was too outrageous...
Not only that, Chen Chen looked at the USB drive plugged into the laptop again, only to see that the USB drive had long lost its luster and returned to its previous dark appearance, which meant that the power stored in the USB drive had been depleted again.
Even without power, the passage still existed...
The corner of Chen Chen's mouth twitched involuntarily. At this moment, the shock in his heart was no less than the Blacklight Cruise's. He could only watch helplessly as the deck of the Blacklight Cruise was torn apart and devoured by the spot of light bit by bit. The torn floors all entered the world on the other side of the spot of light.
"X, I think I've gone too far..."
Looking at the huge spot of light under his feet, Chen Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. The damage to the Blacklight Cruise was secondary. The key was that he had opened a door for Earth in an unprecedented manner.
A Rosen Bridge that led to another world...
