Sometimes, those involved in historical events often don't feel that they have experienced any remarkable moment. Perhaps they will only realize afterwards how profound their actions have been in human history.
In fact, in Xiangshan's eyes, he was just walking around on top of a huge alien garbage, which had no effect and was just a burden. When he came out of the protective suit, his whole body was wet with sweat.
.That day, Xiang Shan took a bath and slept.
But the next day, when Xiang Shan went to work at the research institute, he found that everyone looked at him a little differently.
"Now you can go back and claim to be the first person in the country to contact aliens." Old Liu told him. He patted Xiang Shan and said, "Do it well, you will have a bright future in the future."
Regardless of Xiangshan's personal fate, this exploration did change a lot of things.
After confirming that there were no interactive objects in the entire "Ogun" - whether they were machines or aliens - Project Rama became bold. A large number of peacekeepers wore chemical protective suits and entered Ogun.
The work began. At first, they carefully sampled the ground, trying to find possible alien cells. But soon, they discovered that the interior of Ogun was also terrifyingly clean, and all organic matter came from the earth.
of mixing.
Now there is no need to even disinfect.
As a result, the senior officials of Rama Project began to organize soldiers from the peacekeeping force to work inside Ogun, erecting reinforcement structures inside and outside to support the crumbling "Ogun". At the same time, they laid tracks and scaffolding inside, built elevators, and laid out lighting equipment.
to facilitate exploration.
And the information compiled during this process is continuously presented to the scientists.
The first is the steel beam that Xiangshan saw that day. It is indeed a complex structure. A complex steel structure like the Eiffel Tower supports the "Ogun". This structure has been severely deformed, but all the deformations have bypassed the center.
That pitch-black cylinder - that's what the builders of "Ogun" really wanted to deliver.
This is the result of careful design. According to recovery calculations, no matter what posture Ogun lands on, those steel beams can absorb kinetic energy through deformation. And no matter how the steel structure deforms, there is a high probability that the black cylinder will not be affected.
.
It seems that the NASA engineer was absolutely right. The builders of "Ogun" did not consider parachutes at all.
Perhaps thanks to human parachutes, "Ogun" landed much more intact than its builders expected. Humans were able to get a glimpse of the art of building blocks.
In addition, there is another news. There are no cables leading to the outside on the black cylinder. The black cylinder did not have the function of controlling the rocket engine from the beginning.
The good news is that hatches exist on the cylinder.
At present, humans have used a variety of signal transmission methods, including tapping, to "speak" to the cylinder, but the cylinder does not respond and is always silent. It seems that even if there is a machine inside, it has stopped and can be further explored.
.
The bad news is that there seems to be controversy over exactly how to open it and who will open it.
It is said that every advancement here can create waves in the political arena of several big countries. Xiang Shan really can't understand the specific process, why the bureaucrats behind him can react so strongly even though it is the front-line personnel who have done the hard work.
Then there is another news.
Or say good news and bad news.
The bad news is that the "Ogun" rocket engine was seriously damaged.
But the good news is that humans can still analyze useful technologies from it.
Moreover, it is exactly what human beings need now, "technology that is a little more advanced than contemporary humans."
Ogun uses a nuclear rocket, which uses a reactor to directly heat the propellant and then ejects it to gain speed.
The structure of its reactor seems very interesting and has never been used by people on earth. Nuclear physicists from different countries exclaimed "That's it" when they saw it.
If we look at the entire history of human science, such a hint is at best equivalent to "a flash of inspiration by a certain scientist." Even if there is no "Ogun", humans will discover this structure one day. But "Ogun"
"The arrival of it means that humans directly save the step of "waiting for inspiration", and also saves the cost of research and development and trial and error.
Of course, humans have also discovered symbols on the steel beams inside Ogun, which are directly engraved on certain locations of the steel beams.
Ingrid was very excited when she learned the news, but within a short time she stopped laughing.
Those symbols are not words at all, but symbols similar to bar codes that are easy for computers to read and are used to represent numbers.
"Except that the builders of Ogun used the hexadecimal system, we still know nothing." When Ingrid said this, she inserted a fork into the plate and rolled up a ball of pasta.
And the rubble was also cleared out.
These things contain uranium-235 of high purity. It is said that they must be properly preserved by nuclear-armed countries with experience in handling them, and must be sent to this "country in turmoil" as soon as possible.
"That's really strange..." Xiang Shan said after reading the information sent: "The purity of this uranium is too high, and judging from the radiation I saw that day, it was not spent fuel at all. This is not their
Means of dealing with nuclear waste.”
In fact, the radiation of high-purity fuel rod components is not strong. Even if humans do not have any protection, they can be directly exposed to it in a short period of time. Compared with radiation, it is more terrifying for uranium, a heavy metal, to be absorbed or poisoned by humans. But spent fuel is not
In this way, the spent fuel elements removed from the reactor can be used to kill people.
Inside the brand new reactor fuel rod is very pure uranium. But after the fission reaction, the fuel rod is not so pure. There will be hundreds of isotopes in it, with different half-lives, but the radiation is more terrifying. Compared with the main
The fuel rods that release A-rays are also mixed with more penetrating and harmful radiation.
Judging from that reading, there was no spent fuel in the huge stone pile.
"If we consider that the technical level of the builders of Ogun is not much different from that of the Earth, they would not pile spent fuel in Ogun at all." David was behind Xiang Shan, biting a Coke straw.
, "Among other things, humans are very troubled by the problem of 'computers are not resistant to electromagnetic radiation', and aliens should be the same."
"How should we deal with spent fuel?"
"If it were me..." David looked upward and took a sip of Coke: "As propellant?"
