Chapter 48 Going to see the hammer!
In the afternoon, Mr. Harrington led the students and parents to visit the Amos National Laboratory.

The Amos National Laboratory is located on the outskirts not far from the town, passing through a wasteland surrounded by many people, where some buildings are being built.

Harrington said: "That's where the alien meteorite fell. It's shaped like a forged hammer. This is also an important evidence for us to speculate that there are alien creatures."

So far, S.H.I.E.L.D. has not identified the incident of Loki's invasion of the school, so although there are rumors that Loki is an alien creature, most people still think that Loki is just a mutant with superpowers.

Gwen asked: "In this case, why didn't the relevant departments transport the hammer away for research, but build a shed here?"

Another girl named Betty said: "This should be to preserve the traces of the impact of the meteorite and the ground. Based on these, we can deduce which direction the hammer came from."

Other students also put forward different guesses on this question, but Itlake, who has been spoiled by the memory of his previous life, has no interest in guessing——

S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to take the hammer away, but none of them could move it!
There is a magical setting about Thor's hammer, that is, ordinary people cannot lift it, only qualified people can lift it.

Thor's father, Odin, the king of the gods, asked the dwarves to forge a hammer with the core of a dying star, cast spells and magic on the hammer, and wrote a poem on the side of the hammer:
[Anyone who can lift this hammer, if he is worthy, can gain the same ability as Thor]

This is also the reason why Captain America was able to lift the hammer later and gave Thanos' big bald head a lightning bolt.

However, Itlake believes that all things should be governed by an objective law. The seemingly idealistic law of "only those who are worthy can lift it" should also be explained from a scientific point of view.

If not, many paradoxes will arise.

For example, Itlake once read an online novel before time travelling. I don’t remember the name, but I only remember that the introduction of the book reads:

[Thor: No one can lift my hammer! 】

[Protagonist: You are holding a hammer, why don't I lift you up? 】

Although the novel was not very good-looking, Etruk became interested in the secrets contained in Thor's Hammer, especially since he now has super high intelligence. If anyone can crack it, it should be himself.

Everyone was having a lively discussion in the car, but Ned looked back at the distant "Hammer Fall Relics" reluctantly, until Mr. Harrington said, "If there is still time after visiting the National Laboratory, then we will drop by." Let's take a look at the alien hammer." Ned regained hope and looked away in relief.

The National Laboratory is located in the outskirts, with magnificent buildings and a very large area. In the afternoon of the first day, Mr. Harrington just took everyone to visit the development history of various disciplines, important, epoch-making, and cultural relics Various old experimental equipment as well as quotes, portraits and statues of famous people.

Ned hoped that the tour in the national laboratory would be over soon, so that he would have the opportunity to see the meteorite hammer, but Mr. Harrington didn't think so. After he took everyone through the subject history corridor, he came to a In front of the big glass cabinet.

The things contained in the glass cabinet have a sense of age. It is a set of experimental instruments composed of lenses from different angles, three-sided mirrors, plane mirrors, and metal plates. It has an old texture, but it is well preserved.

Harrington said: "This is the original equipment that Thomas Young used in the double-slit experiment in 1807, more than 200 years ago."

Everyone stopped, bowed their heads and raised their pens to record in their notebooks.

Aunt Mei asked in a low voice, "Little Yit, what does that mouth-to-mouth experiment mean?"

While recording, Itlake said: "Aunt May, that's not a 'counterpart', it's a 'double slit'——

Thomas Young's double-slit interference experiment demonstrated the observer effect. "

"Observer Effect?" Hannah and Friss joined in after hearing the conversation between the two.

"Simply put, a beam of electrons is fired at one end, and the opposite screen is irradiated with electrons," said Itlake.

If I observe the electron, the electron is like a solid ball thrown out, and it lands where it should fall;
If I don't observe the electrons, the electrons will interfere like water waves and land in random places. "

Itlake's explanation is not accurate, but it is a language that Aunt May and the others can understand, that is to say, human subjective observation will affect the form of electrons.

"Wow, Little Etta, this is amazing." Aunt May sighed.

Ned said: "What's so magical about this? I'm honest when my dad is watching me, and I'm mischievous when my dad isn't watching me. It's the same reason."

Hannah said: "This is not the same. You are conscious, you have a brain, you have nerve cells, and you have conditioned reflexes like Pavlov's dog; and electrons are the smallest indivisible particles, how can they be afraid of humans seeing them?" it?"

Ned hugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, Hannah, you actually called me a dog, thanks to my previous..."

Gwen patted Ned on the shoulder and explained, "Well, Ned, Hannah didn't call you a dog, she just said you were..."

"What is it?"

"A drooling dog."

Ned's unhappiness didn't last long, because Mr. Harrington's explanation ended soon, and it's still early, so there must be a chance to see the hammer!

"Oye!" Ned secretly clenched his fists.

As Ned expected, the bus stopped near the meteorite hammer on the way back.

Harrington said: "It's 10:[-] and [-] minutes now. I'll give you an hour and a half of free time. Gather here at [-]:[-], and we'll go back to have dinner!"

Although it is said to be a free activity, most of those who are interested in meteorites still gather around Mr. Harrington. I hope he can take everyone to watch and give explanations by the way; those who are not interested can stay in the car to rest or walk around. sit.

The place where Thor's Hammer landed was a private mining area that had been deserted for many years. Without the consent of the owner of the mining area, S.H.I.E.L.D. was not qualified to block it.

In fact, the owners of this land are very hospitable and hope that everyone will come and see the hammer that fell in their own home (by the way, they will laugh at their flushed faces when they can't pull out the hammer).

At first, people nearby heard that there was this hammer, but no one could pick it up. Later, the news spread to the town. Some people did not believe in evil and drove a pickup truck to tow it.

As a result, the backs of several pickup trucks were overturned, and the hammer did not budge.

Since then, pulling the hammer has been one of the rich pastimes of the people of New Mexico.

Some people even drive for five or six hours just to pull out a hammer that cannot be pulled out.
