793: Chapter 793: The little thing is quite unique!
In the evening.
Three Cadillac SUVs slowly made their way into the estate.
As soon as the vehicles stopped.
A few tall and powerful Marine Corps members quickly got out of the front and back cars.
They were well-trained, and they immediately spread out, guarding vigilantly, ready to deal with any surprise assaults.
Once it was confirmed safe, the middle SUV’s door was opened.
The vehicles had formidable bodies and rugged exteriors.
All three cars were of the same model, all reinforced bulletproof vehicles.
Even the car doors were specially strengthened to withstand burst fire from assault rifles and explosive fragments.
The interior of the car was air-tight, making it impervious to poison gas and smoke.
The car windows were double-glazed bulletproof glass, solid and thick.
Perrio didn’t get out of the car but instead waved at Wu Jie, who was waiting and smoking by the corridor, from afar.
As soon as Wu Jie got on the car, the doors closed.
Outside, they were protected by Marine Corps members, while inside the car, there were only the two of them, Wu Jie and another.
The huge vehicle gave a sense of security, feeling almost like sitting in a tank.
Because of the excellent sound insulation, the inside of the car was extremely quiet.
Beep beep beep beep…
After Perrio entered the password, he opened the safe that was placed in the middle of the back seat.
Wu Jie couldn’t help but laugh when he caught a glimpse of it.
Because the ‘mysterious object’ that caught his eye was too damn funny.
At first glance,
It looked like a burnt black pancake, coal-black in color, with an uneven surface.
However, it was double-protected; besides the outer safe, it was placed inside a glass box.
“Before landing on the moon, we launched satellites and discovered these fragments!”
“We don’t know if they’re remnants of an extraterrestrial spacecraft that crashed into the moon or fragments of a space meteorite!”
“Anyway, out of our six lunar landings, five were to collect and bring them back in batches.”
While speaking, Perrio pointed at the glass box and laughed,
“Looking at its ugly appearance, you must think I’m bringing some broken toy to fool and deceive you, right?”
“You may think it’s ugly, but we invested a lot of manpower, material resources, and finances, continuously studying it…”
Seeing Wu Jie just smiling without speaking, Perrio couldn’t be bothered to boast anymore.
“Enough!
No matter how much I brag, it’s better for you to try it for yourself.
Pick it up and feel its weight!
Be careful though, don’t strain your back!”
Without a word, Wu Jie reached out and lifted the glass box.
And then…
Aiyo damn!
Why did it feel like he was tugging on a lump of cast iron!
It was dead heavy, feeling at least a few dozen kilograms in weight.
And yet it looked just like a piece of pancake in size!
“You can put on gloves and open the glass box, then pick it up directly!”
Perrio, struggling to contain his laughter, reminded from the side.
Wu Jie immediately did so and reached out with both hands to pick it up.
The small ‘black pancake’ like mysterious object took gritted teeth and effort to raise with both hands.
It felt incredibly heavy, no longer just a lump of cast iron, but rather like he was lifting a hundred-kilo lead block.
“It’s quite heavy, don’t keep holding onto it, put it down quickly!”
Perrio once again kindly reminded him.
After Wu Jie put it down, he laughed, “This thing has a high density, huh!”
Perrio laughed in response,
“Of course!
On our Earth, the metal osmium has the highest density, only 22.59 grams per cubic centimeter!”
“Even if it were made into a size like this pancake, it would only weigh two or three kilograms, right?”
“But as you’ve just experienced, its weight is close to a hundred kilograms, right?
Almost as heavy as a grown fat adult!”
Wu Jie laughed nonchalantly.
“Celestial bodies in the universe that are dense are not in the minority!”
“As far as I know, yellow dwarf stars have a density of ten million tons per cubic meter, with a soybean-sized piece weighing a ton!”
“And neutron stars are even denser, with a piece the size of your thumb weighing a hundred million tons!”
“So…
this dark and murky thing is probably a fragment left behind when a certain asteroid collided with the moon, right?”
“Or maybe, it was simply compressed by the huge energy at the moment of impact!”
Perrio laughed and said,
“Scientists have also made various guesses about its origin, but in the end, they couldn’t confirm any of them!”
“Yet by studying this dark and murky stuff, we’ve achieved some scientific results!”
“Of course, with such high density, it should make you willing to believe it doesn’t belong to Earth, right?”
Wu Jie nodded slightly and took a closer look at the dark ‘pancake’.
He knew that Perrio wasn’t deceiving him in this matter.
After all, this secret meeting was very rushed, and the representatives of each country buying the medicine had only just heard of the Detox Pills.
Perrio sought Wu Jie for a secret transaction on a whim.
For just a hundred Detox Pills, Perrio had no need to set up a scam in advance, how could he possess the ability to foresee?
Wu Jie carefully caressed it as if he was touching an antique relic from years past, serious and cautious.
“You can try removing your gloves and touching it!”
“Oh right, aren’t you a smoker?
You must have a lighter on you.
Try heating it up a bit with the flame!”
Perrio, with a mysterious smile, persuasively suggested.
Wu Jie didn’t need to be told; he also wanted to try it.
After all, he had exchanged a hundred Detox Pills for it!
Considering the production cost of a thousand yuan per pill, that was equivalent to a value of one hundred thousand yuan.
Wu Jie removed his gloves and gently tapped the ‘black pancake’.
It didn’t produce the reverberating clang of metal striking metal, rather there was no sound at all.
It was like knocking on a thick copper and iron wall, with no response.
Touching it directly with bare hands, I had expected it to be rough and abrasive.
But unlike a metal blank with many burrs, it appeared uneven yet felt surprisingly smooth when caressed.
I took out a windproof lighter and ignited a whooshing flame.
The flame scorched the surface for a while, but there was none of the color change common with metals like copper, iron, lead, or manganese.
With the fire still burning, Perrio said with a laugh, “After you extinguish the flame, you can immediately touch it with your hand!”
“What do you mean?
Won’t it burn?” Wu Jie asked in return.
Perrio smiled mysteriously.
“Extinguish the fire!”
As Wu Jie released the lighter, Perrio pressed his own hand on the spot that had just been scorched.
If it were any common metal, it would be scalding hot after being scorched, definitely burning the hand.
But Perrio seemed unbothered and with a chuckle, said after removing his hand:
“If you don’t believe me, you can feel it too!”
Wu Jie reached out hesitantly to touch it, and the result was…
Not hot at all; it felt the same as before being scorched.
The flame of the windproof lighter, especially the blue part, could reach a temperature of over a thousand degrees Celsius.
Metals like iron or copper wires would melt directly under such heat.
And surely any metal would become scalding hot after being burnt for a while.
Yet this so-called ‘Black Pancake’ remained as cold as ever.
Just yesterday, Perrio had sought out Wu Jie in private to say that their research into this thing had led to many breakthroughs in materials science.
Stealth Fighter’s stealth coating, high-temperature resistant alloys for high-thrust engine nozzles…
Now it seems.
This little thing is indeed quite unique!
Determined to test its limits, Wu Jie used the windproof lighter to thoroughly heat it again.
At temperatures of over a thousand degrees, even an alloy steel should become unbearably hot, right?
But as soon as the flame was extinguished, Wu Jie touched it, and damn, it was still cool to the touch.
Perrio chuckled and said:
“Fun, isn’t it?
Not only can this thing withstand high temperatures, it can also endure extreme cold!”
“Many common metals become brittle and fragile as chips when the temperature drops below a hundred or two hundred degrees!”
“But this one?
Even at the lowest temperature that we humans can create, minus 273 degrees, it remains just as solid!”
“So just for its rare temperature-resistant qualities alone, you wouldn’t feel shortchanged for spending a hundred Detox Pills, right?”
Wu Jie smiled faintly; it was indeed worth it.
Where on Earth could you find such an extraordinary thing?
Once I take it back, it must be thoroughly studied.
A mere hundred Detox Pills – this deal was truly worthwhile.
“Does it have any other bizarre qualities?” Wu Jie inquired curiously.
Perrio replied, “It has a special crystal structure that can absorb electromagnetic waves, making it invisible to radar by preventing the reflected waves, and it inspired the stealth coating for our Stealth Fighters.”
“Besides, it’s extremely abrasion-resistant.
Diamond is hard, right?
But when used to cut this material, the diamond would turn to dust, so if you want to cut it into slices for research, it’s best to use a high-energy Laser Knife and carefully slice it little by little!”
“Overall, it must hide other secrets, but given our current level of technology, we’re completely incapable of uncovering them.
Take it back with you and enjoy it at your leisure.
If you need more, we still have plenty stored in Area 51!”
Wu Jie nodded slightly and handed a vial of medicine to Perrio from his satchel.
“My trip to Qicheng was very rushed, and I didn’t bring much.
These three Detox Pills are just the down payment.
When you come to Tianyuan, I’ll give you the remaining ninety-seven!”
“That’s fine!
No problem!” Perrio took the vial and carefully admired it.
Like someone fond of antiques who had just obtained a treasure, he couldn’t help but inspect it meticulously.
Seeing this obsessed look, Wu Jie said with an embarrassed laugh:
“If you’re not sick, don’t take them, or it’s just a waste!”
“Moreover, even if you are sick, no matter how severe the ailment, you must not take too many.
Taking seven pills at once would send you to meet God!”
Perrio laughed heartily, “I know!
You told me this afternoon, didn’t you?
I’ll take good care of them!”
Wu Jie chuckled inwardly.
He knew this guy was trading the ‘Black Pancake’ for Detox Pills for his own benefit.
Wu Jie had already asked Zheng about it.
Zheng, in turn, made careful inquiries through the External Affairs Bureau.
A few moon landings did bring back quite a few things, even presenting some moon soil to our country as a gift.
For a while, people thought they discovered alien civilizations, acquired spaceship remnants, and kept it all strictly confidential, fearing leaks.
That’s why they rarely disclosed details of the moon missions, so much so that they were criticized for faking them.
But in reality…
What they brought back was ‘planetary debris,’ also known as ‘Black Pancake’ to Wu Jie.
After some casual conversation, Perrio called over two strong Marines to escort the box away.
The box, as heavy as a grown person, was placed in the sedan, noticeably sinking the car down.
In the evening.
After a lively dinner, Wu Jie and Zheng returned to Tianyuan early to prepare for the upcoming inspection.
Back in Tianyuan, Zheng went to the medical center, which was a key point of secret inspection by medicinal representatives from various countries.
They were most eager to see people like Bai Fengling who had contracted the Sakuragi Flower mutant virus, yet were miraculously cured.
Meanwhile, Wu Jie went back to Tang’s Pharmaceuticals and worked overnight to get the newly arrived equipment up and running.
Several countries used large transport planes to deliver hundreds upon hundreds of lost cultural relics, which were then handed over to domestic experts for authentication.
There are also many large tankers and cargo ships en route, carrying food, oil, natural gas, and more.
So Wu Jie had to quickly expand production capacity, aiming for a daily output of one hundred thousand pills.
Busy until almost dawn, he finally sorted out the new production line.
Once back at the research institute, Wu Jie locked the doors and windows and carried the heavy code-locked box to the basement.
After ensuring security and confidentiality, he took out the official ‘planetary debris’ known as ‘Black Pancake.’
“They couldn’t fathom its secrets, but that won’t stop me!”
As Wu Jie muttered to himself, he summoned the system.
He spent energy points to rent an intelligent analyzer and paid a substantial consultancy fee.
This dark little thing certainly had no ordinary origin…
