Xiaguo Space Agency.
A mysterious research institute under it.
In a spacious, bright, slightly sci-fi style laboratory.
Director Yang Wei, Deputy Director Tian Kehua, and other senior leaders gathered in front of several high-strength bulletproof glass cabinets, looking at the hundreds of disassembled parts neatly placed inside.
A senior expert in charge of this project explained:
"Director Yang, leaders, as you can see, apart from the outer blue shell of the Gambia satellite, which has been cut open with a laser, all other internal components have been disassembled non-destructively into a fragmented state."
"A total of 1,364 parts were obtained."
"After research, we came to a basic conclusion: this small satellite is definitely not something that humans can create."
"First, its outermost blue shell is composed of a special element not found on Blue Mercury. Its melting point is a staggering 6,340 degrees Celsius! This is higher than any other metal or compound on Blue Mercury."
"And its outer shell is just the most ordinary. The more than 1,300 parts inside are made of more than 400 unknown elements, and none of them use any common elements found on Blue Mercury."
"It is a completely new object made of new elements and new materials."
The person in charge became excited: "This is very shocking to us. This represents a new technological dimension that is completely different from our own. They have replaced all natural elements with man-made elements!"
"The force that created this small satellite possesses unimaginably advanced technology. One could even say they've reached the stage of 'God-created creation,' able to effortlessly create every element they need!"
"We can only look up to them in awe."
“…”
Walking to the glass case at the end, the person in charge introduced the two square, white objects about the size of a third-order Rubik's Cube:
"These two batteries are inside the small satellite. We conducted multiple charge/discharge tests and found their energy density to be 240,000 watt-hours per kilogram. This is 20 times the energy density of an equivalent mass of gasoline and 800 times that of our commonly used lithium batteries."
"That's a gap of three orders of magnitude! For us, it's possible that even a thousand years from now, we won't be able to produce such conventional material batteries (non-isotope batteries). Their energy technology is so advanced that it's unimaginable."
Listen to the explanation given by the person in charge.
The leaders and experts on the scene fell silent.
They are all trying to buffer the large amount of shocking information they have just received.
One leader, unable to bear it any longer, asked the person in charge, "Through reverse engineering, can we crack the technology here and achieve a breakthrough and explosion in Xiaguo's technology?"
The person in charge smiled wryly and said, "The reason for the success of reverse engineering is that the technical levels are roughly similar. However, the new materials and elements in this small satellite are all new to us. There is nowhere to mine blue mercury, and the reserves are zero. We don't even have the material conditions to replicate it."
"In front of it, we scientists are like monkeys who have never seen the world. Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. We cannot decipher the technology contained in it in the slightest."
this……
The leader did not expect that the scientists would give up on this small satellite without even trying it.
"So what should we do next? Should we just keep the little satellite as an exhibit and let people visit it occasionally? The infinite value it contains will only be a treasure in a mirage, visible but untouchable."
Another leader asked unwillingly.
After all, the technology contained in this small satellite is so tempting and shocking. Not to mention all of it, just cracking one or two of them will bring about a leap forward in Xia Country's technology.
Scientists have concluded that it is impossible to crack the code. Seeing a mountain of treasure but not being able to enter is a recipe for frustration and disappointment.
"uncertain!"
A glint flashed across the director's eyes, and he suddenly smiled mysteriously. "After concluding that the small satellite couldn't be cracked, we had to look elsewhere, exploring its origins and gathering clues. Surprisingly, we've made some very unexpected discoveries!"
"This small satellite was brought by a young man named Li Wei. He participated in the entire process of reviewing, testing, and launching the small satellite. He behaved strangely. After the small satellite was successfully launched, the young man named Li Wei disappeared. His phone number has also changed, so he cannot be contacted directly."
"We just need to find that young man named Levi and investigate. Perhaps, we might make some major breakthrough discoveries."
"That young man definitely knows more about the origins of the small satellite than we do!"
The person in charge adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled like a fox. In fact, he already had a rough guess in his mind.
"You mean... to apply for a special department to investigate that young man named Levi?"
Yang Wei looked at the person in charge and frowned again, "But this doesn't quite comply with the regulations. Li Wei is a foreigner and has committed no crime or offense in Xia Country. It's not appropriate for us to request a special department to investigate."
"Even if we find some problems with him and he carries some mysteries, if he abides by the law and no criminal issues can be found, we have no legitimate reason to take any action against him."
"Besides, if we alert him, he can escape at any time. We are not even sure whether he is still in the Xia Kingdom. The world is so big, and sometimes it is not easy to find someone."
Yang Wei had some concerns and felt that this was not a good plan. Even if there were problems and mysteries surrounding Levi, as long as it was not a criminal issue, how would they deal with it? Would they arrest him for no reason and send people to interrogate him about his secrets?
This is not an act of justice.
"We can apply for a secret investigation. We will be lurking, tracking, and collecting information. If the investigation reveals any problems, if they are not related to the crime, we can send someone to contact him peacefully and have a friendly conversation."
"If he has committed a crime, then it will be easier to control him first and then proceed with the next plan."
"In short, we must find the young man named Li Wei, or the middle-aged man named Lin Guoming who follows Li Wei. As long as we find one of them, the rest of the matter will become very easy. Perhaps... there will be a very significant breakthrough!"
The person in charge said excitedly, as if he was facing a problem that he was extremely interested in. In order to solve this problem, he was willing to give it a try no matter what solution he adopted!
Yang Wei did not comment.
But seeing the leaders and experts around, most of them were nodding and agreeing with the person in charge's statement. After all, the technology was far ahead of Blue Mercury by one dimension and contained countless values. Who wouldn't want to get to the bottom of it?
He had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll report this to my superiors and request a secret investigation."
