Chapter 60: Things of Change

Remember [New] in one second!

The wind blew violently across the wilderness. Gene and Tang Rao stood on a frozen road. The two continued to walk forward. Soon they saw a large number of buildings and a wall under construction in the distance.

"It looks much better."

Tang Rao said with a tired face. This month's back and forth was really tiring. Tang Rao found a stone by the roadside to sit down, took out a cigarette and lit it. Gene walked forward and looked at the endless houses on the grassland. Some mountains and forests had disappeared, and many soil and rocks had turned into building materials for houses.

The current construction scale is even larger than before. When Gene and his friends left, some houses were still under construction. A month later, some newly built houses had been erected.

"Don't you want to go in and take a look?"

Tang Rao asked, and Gene shook his head after thinking for a moment.

"No, the things we found are more important. This may advance human technology by hundreds of years."

Tang Rao looked at a large backpack with joy. Inside was the crystal they brought back from the center of the Pacific Ocean. Just a few days ago, when Gene opened the backpack, the crystal had undergone a shocking change. This change made the two scientists extremely excited, so they sped up their speed to return.

Gene just looked at the town quietly. He didn't want to step into it because there was no need at all. They could see the economic situation of the town every day because AI was constantly adjusting the economic values ​​of various aspects. Now the town looks much more lively.

"Gene, what do you think of this thing if it is really the same as we think?"

Gene smiled gently and looked at the mountains in the distance.

"It will probably become the dividing point of human technology."

After the two got up, they began to move. Gradually, their figures disappeared in the air. The particles released by these alienated genes can also help them become invisible.

After a while, the two entered the town of Jade. It seemed that there was already a commercial atmosphere here. There were many shops selling goods near the center of the town. Many merchants carrying large bags were holding money in their hands and choosing goods. It was very lively.

Gene and his friends chose to pass through the edge where there were fewer people. Gene was always looking at the people who were trading in the town. He felt that although the current situation was better, he always felt that something was wrong, because he could not see the joy on people's faces, and many people looked miserable.

"Maybe something went wrong."

Tang Rao muttered, and Gene nodded.

"Maybe,

Let's speed up, we have to go back to the base first to tell everyone about the discovery."

Now this planet has become extremely strange. There are many non-living things that can move, not only on the ground, but also in the ocean. These things have no biological cells, but some inexplicable substances and metal atoms in their bodies.

This was enough to shock Tang Rao and Gene, and those black and red tentacles were even more chilling. They would devour a lot of things.

All tangible things will soon be swallowed by these black and red tentacles, and where they swallowed is another question.

Including the fact that humans originally launched so many nuclear bombs, the high concentration of radioactive substances released after the explosion of the nuclear bombs also disappeared. Gene and his team did not detect any radioactive substances on the sea surface, which is obviously not scientific.

It has only been 6 years since the incident, and the energy of radiation cannot disappear so quickly. This may have something to do with those black and red tentacles, and there is a very strong magnetic field in the sky, which is also difficult to understand.

This planet is undergoing mutations, and humans may face greater difficulties in the future. Therefore, Gene and his team plan to use the new substances they have discovered to conduct rapid research after returning. Only by constantly improving human technology can humans survive the upcoming large-scale mutations.

Soon the two came to the edge of the town. Gene carried Tang Rao on his back and jumped up quickly. Some towns also appeared in the mountains, and Gene and his team heard a lot of babies crying along the way.

When survival stabilizes, organisms will begin to reproduce on a large scale, and humans are the same. The number of newborns is already very large, which is both a good phenomenon and a bad phenomenon.

The good thing is that the future of mankind can continue, and the bad thing is that unless human society can continue to develop steadily and there are no major changes in the middle, it will be difficult for the existing resources to feed so many humans.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Gene and Tang Rao returned to the base and gathered the other six people.

"Why did you come back so soon? I thought it would take two months."

Li Chu muttered, Gu Yi and Witt were silent. They could see the expressions of the two people. Something must have happened. Ellie came to Gene and glared at Tang Rao fiercely.

"Why are you glaring at me? What do you think we can do?"

Tang Rao said immediately, and Deguna laughed.

"What did you find?"

Gene took out the things in the bag first.

"What is this, a big ball of cloth?"

Rose looked at the items in the backpack strangely. It was very heavy. When she picked it up, it weighed at least 1 ton. It was obviously just cloth, but it was so heavy. What made Rose feel the difference most was that the atomic structures of these cloths were exactly the same. of.

"what's up?"

Rose asked, and Tang Rao said with a smile.

"Do you believe that this ball of cloth was originally a stone? A shiny crystal stone."

Tang Rao's words made everyone unimaginable. Deguna squatted in front of the cloth, and then she tried to lift it. It was indeed very heavy.

Tang Rao first took out a video, which showed colorful crystal stones. She explained that these stones were things they found in the center of the Pacific Ocean and brought them back to study.

"Why did it turn into cloth when I brought it back?"

Li Chu couldn't understand it at all, so Gene said.

"I originally put it in this big bag, but I didn't open it for a while. When I opened it, there was only this ball of fabric left in it."

Then Tang Rao called up another video, one of those black and red tentacles. In the video, Jean struggled with those tentacles for a long time.

"What are these?"

What they saw in front of them was unimaginable. When Jean took out the captured thing, everyone was stunned.

"Let's talk about our experiences along the way first, and then we can all discuss it for a while."

Werther and Ellie immediately became interested in this moving thing that looked like some kind of creature. Tang Rao told them that this thing did not have biological cells, but was composed of a large number of metal atoms. There were many metal atoms. Metal.

After two hours, Jean and the others finished talking about what they had seen and heard along the way, and everyone began to prepare for the welcome party.

The moving things have been put aside for the time being. The most important thing now is to understand why those crystals turned into cloth, which is very difficult for them to understand.

After Gu Yi and Rose tested the material of the cloth bag and the fabric, they found that the two were from the same batch, which was very puzzling.

The cloth has been cut, and the situation inside the cloth is the same. Such a large ball of cloth with such a high density is impossible to produce because it is of no use, and the most incomprehensible thing is that even if it is It is impossible to produce such high-density fabrics using machines.

After a while, a sumptuous dinner was prepared, including a lot of meat for experiments. This was extremely happy for everyone.

Everyone started discussing while drinking, and everyone put forward their own opinions. Li Chu even spoke.

"Could it be that you two fell asleep in the lake, and something touched these stones, and then the stones became like this."

Gu Yi and Rose were still analyzing some things while drinking, but they still couldn't figure it out. At this time, Deguna suggested.

"Just try it with high heat."

This was of course the best way. Then Li Chu brought a high-temperature induction cooker, which was used for experiments and could dissolve a lot of metals, which was more convenient.

Soon they cut a piece of cloth and put it in the induction cooker. The induction cooker started to heat up, and the cloth really started to burn.

"Look, it's just ordinary fabric!"

As Li Chu said, everyone looked at the cloth that had turned into dust and sighed helplessly. Jean and Tang Rao looked confused, thinking about the problem and recalling what happened along the way.

Rose pressed her forehead, thinking about various possibilities. As time passed by, Rose suddenly saw the inside of the induction cooker, and she stood up in shock.

"Don't think about it, hurry up and watch."

Everyone gathered around the induction cooker, and eight people looked at the situation inside in shock. The cloth that had been burnt to ashes disappeared and was replaced by a pile of metal, and the shape was exactly the same as the black burnt one just now.

Immediately, Li Chu opened the induction cooker and broke it off with all his strength. However, no matter how he broke it, the thing integrated with the induction cooker, as if it had existed from the beginning.

"Reheat it and see."

As Gu Yi said, Li Chu turned off the induction cooker and started to continue heating. However, when the temperature reached 2000 degrees, the contents inside were still the same as before.

"Could it be that this thing can become the same as the things around it? The melting point of this high-temperature resistant alloy is 3000 degrees."

Only then did everyone react, and then they immediately took out another piece of cloth and began to burn it on the ground. After burning, it burned into a lake, and the material that dissolved into metal in the induction cooker was also cut off. , after some research, they found that their metal atoms and the material of the induction cooker are exactly the same.

"Look, this is magic."

Li Chu shouted loudly, and everyone looked at the ground. The black color was fading away after burning, and then began to become the same color as the floor, and then gradually turned into a part of the floor, as if this cement floor originally existed The excess cement remains the same after it sets.

Everyone was completely shocked. They began to cut pieces of cloth and began to conduct experiments. Sure enough, the cloth could be restored after being burned, and then placed in front of anything, these things would slowly turn into corresponding things. This Let them be unimaginable.

And after some things are cut, burned and dissolved, and placed in other places, they can become other things.

"It's like a chameleon. It can simulate the atoms of all materials."

Rose said in surprise, and then she began to use her strength to mobilize the atoms of these substances little by little, and then gathered them together.

Such a discovery gave everyone goose bumps all over their bodies. If the research on this kind of mimicry material is successful, it can help them solve many problems.

This is something that no one can imagine. For what this thing can do and the technology that can be produced, it is infinite.

"This is good. I feel that our experimental research will make a very big breakthrough."

Gu Yi cheered, like a child, dancing with joy.

Such a discovery is so exciting. The controlled nuclear fusion they want to develop has become a reality in the blink of an eye.

"Now we must find a way to restore them to crystals."

Rose said, and Tang Rao immediately took out all the data on the ice. Everyone planned to study this thing thoroughly first, and put all other scientific research aside for the time being.

But soon they found that the only thing this thing couldn't simulate was living things. Tang Rao and Witt were somewhat helpless. The two of them could only go back to study biology, while the other six were responsible for thoroughly understanding this substance.

"I think this thing can simulate all substances. We use flames to burn, and the fabric material formed is fixed. After burning, it becomes burnt out, but these substances can autonomously simulate nearby materials. I think burning is not a good method. According to the situation on the ice at that time, it may be possible to restore it."

Gu Yi immediately put forward his own ideas, and others began to express their opinions. Then everyone decided to work together to simulate the situation on the ice at that time, and then put these substances on it. Why didn't these substances turn into ice cubes? After knowing that they couldn't simulate organisms, they came to the conclusion that even if the ocean was frozen, there were still some living microorganisms in the water.

The most urgent thing at present is to restore these materials to their original state. Tang Rao recorded various data in detail, including air density, air pressure, wind speed, temperature, etc.

So now they have to build a refrigeration device, then make a simulated space, and then put the material in to see if the reductase reaction will occur.

"It's really an exciting discovery."

Deguna said with a smile, and Gene nodded.

"Yes, if we can explore the secret of this substance, humans will definitely survive in the future."
