From black technology to super engineering

Chapter 411 Chapter 412 Traces from the engine

Liu Bo's voice was conveyed through the communication system to the ears of everyone who was paying attention to the on-site box opening.

After a while, another voice sounded: "Is it normal that there are explosion marks on the asteroid?"

"It's not normal, this asteroid comes from the asteroid belt, and according to the current hypothesis, whether the asteroid belt originates from the 'planetary' or from a planet being torn apart, there will be no This kind of impact mark is a tear mark. Unless it was hit by other asteroids and caused an explosion..."

"But there will be impact marks, and the asteroid will probably disintegrate." Liu Bo took a few steps back and shared his vision: "Mr. Ye, what do you think?"

……

Xichang Aerospace Center, Ye Ming is watching the opening of the "blind box" with Director Zhang.

For this asteroid, the significance of capturing it is far greater than the ability to use it, so opening the blind box... is actually just a joke.

Everyone doesn't expect to find Jiutian black iron, Zhenjin and the like on this asteroid.

When Liu Bo said that there were explosion marks on the asteroid, everyone, including Ye Ming, said it was a little impossible.

Hearing Liu Bo asking himself at this time, Ye Ming pondered for a while and then said: "I am terrible at geology, but Aita should be okay. In this way, don't destroy it first, do surface research first, and I will let Aita build it." Let’s analyze it.”

"Ok."

After Ye Ming finished speaking, he opened his notebook and called out the Aita system. After thinking for a while, he called out Ita again in his mind.

"Ita."

"I'm in class."

"It's not from Chagang. You connect to Aita, and then conduct a comprehensive analysis of the surface traces of the asteroid captured this time to see if you can deduce the cause."

"OK……"

Ye Ming communicated with Ita, and his subordinates were not idle. He kept typing to tell Aita about his analysis requirements.

——Because the asteroid capture project is observed throughout, and in the system settings, Aita will unconditionally keep the videos and pictures of this scientific research topic for a certain period of time, and even keep them permanently after manual intervention.

Ita was very fast, and she immediately responded.

"According to the pictures, the state of the D surface can be determined, which is consistent with the traces of the impact force of the explosion."

"Are you sure it was an impact?"

"No impact marks."

As Ita's voice fell, Aita also gave exactly the same answer.

In the conference room, everyone looked at the modeling structure on the screen, and Qi Qi fell silent.

……

A day later, the thousand-ton asteroid was hoisted again by the Yueyue and carefully turned over.

In front of countless geologists, blast trace scientists, and physicists, the "bottom" where it first landed on the moon was completely exposed.

If the traces of the explosion shock wave on the side can still be used to guess, then the exposed metal layer can almost be seen melting on this side, and it is undisguised to report what happened to it.

Or, it hit something big, and the violent impact didn't disintegrate it, but had the effect of melting metal—that's impossible.

Or, it was hit from a long distance by a bomb with high temperature and high energy, such as a nuclear bomb.

Or... its bottom was hit by the high-speed jet of the spaceship.

……

In the conference room, everyone looked at Ye Ming.

Although Ye Ming claimed to not understand geology and explosives, he is a physicist and understands mechanics.

Ye Ming pursed his lips, looked at the inquiry from Director Niu in the window of the notebook, and exhaled lightly.

"Through genetic modeling, I am more inclined to believe that it was formed by being hit by the high-speed jet of the spacecraft."

Ye Ming said and released a simulation animation completed by Ita.

The animation is crude, with only one engine nozzle pointing at an asteroid of the same size and texture.

The picture keeps jumping, and the percentage of fit of the traces is also constantly jumping. When the output power of the final engine reaches 50 megawatts and the asteroid is located at a distance of about 95 meters, the surface phenomenon caused by it being hit by the jet stream and being The surface of the captured asteroid achieved a goodness of [-]%.

Don't think that 95% is less than 100%, in this simulation, it can almost be regarded as "perfect recovery".

In the conference room, there was silence again.

After a while, Director Zhang finally let out a long sigh.

"That means, a spaceship has been to the asteroid belt?"

Ye Ming lowered his eyelids and took another breath: "Although... from a rigorous point of view, we can't be sure that it must be a spaceship or something, but it is indeed the most realistic and logical explanation."

"Then..." Chief Zhang opened his mouth, but was speechless for a while.

The same goes for everyone here.

As aerospace experts and astronomers, in this world, except for some theoretical physicists and fanatical enthusiasts, there may be no one who is more looking forward to capturing information about alien civilizations than them.

But... that also depends on the situation.

People are most fearless when they are ignorant.

Back when humans had just landed in space and on the moon, under the anti-war thinking at that time, they launched Voyager [-] into space—for fear that aliens would not know the location of the earth, a star map was given on it. Not to mention words and languages, a "gold record" was made of gold, which is enough to guarantee its shelf life.

But with the advancement of technology, especially in recent years, humans have begun to touch the dimension...

Everyone is cautious about space and extraterrestrial civilizations.

Everyone can accept extraterrestrial life, but...they had better be civilizations with a level of technology lower than that of the earth.

There is no need for human beings to base their security on the "goodwill" of civilizations stronger than themselves - human beings can show goodwill to lower civilizations, but they cannot expect higher civilizations to show goodwill to themselves.

In short, it is necessary not to have the heart of harming others, and the heart of defense against others is indispensable.

Basically, this has become the consensus on interstellar civilization in recent years.

but now……

But in the asteroid belt, there is a trace that is very likely to be an "alien spacecraft"...

You said, what's the matter?
What do you think?
At this time, Ye Ming saw Director Niu sent another message.

——"It's not me asking, but the boss is asking, what's the conclusion?"

After thinking about it, Ye Ming made a gesture to everyone and asked Aita to call Director Niu directly.

"How to say? Is there any conclusion?"

"The current conclusion, we tend to believe that it is the trace caused by the jet flow of the engine."

In the conference room, everyone heard the head of the CNY department and the all-hands-eyed Director Niu take a breath.

After a while, Director Niu said in a deep voice, "Don't use this tone, I want you to feel certain."

Ye Ming knew that Lao Niu was really anxious.

He closed his eyes, and the task of "remains of civilization" flashed through his mind.

"If you really want me to bet, then I will press it, it is the trace left by a spaceship."
