In London, compared with when I left before, the temperature in mid-January has risen a lot. Although it is still cold, at least at noon during the day, the temperature of nearly 10 degrees can make people feel a little warm.

When the Jason landed at Sodson Airport, the entire London and counties around London were covered by dark clouds, and it was said that a heavy rain was coming.

However, no matter how heavy the rain was, it could not stop Yang Cheng from going back to the manor. There was no accident along the way, and he arrived at the manor smoothly. Yang Cheng ran towards the small building reserved for researchers as soon as he got off the car. Carson followed behind in a battery car, and kept yelling at Yang Cheng, telling him to go faster by car.

The small building has long been strictly guarded by security personnel. People and insects are treated the same. They are only allowed to enter and not to exit. Even the person who Carson arranges to deliver food can only be placed at the door, and the people inside will come in person. Pick.

Strictly guard against all accidents and keep out any threats as much as possible.

After the small building was remodeled, Yang Cheng hadn't been in yet. Unlike the dilapidated ones before, the interior now has a new look. The floor above the ground is the living area for the researchers. The living room, kitchen, and living room are all available, and it was even specially built for them. A recreation room was created, which enriched the amateur life of the experts.

Yang Cheng understands that no matter how old-fashioned people are, they also need entertainment to soothe their nerves. Although their entertainment may be limited to reading books and newspapers, as the boss, Yang Cheng has to think about them.

But he is not here to visit. He has no interest in the floors above ground. He walks through the corridor and goes straight to the elevator at the end. Usually, Carson's authority is limited to this. His fingerprints and irises cannot allow him to go underground through the elevator. On weekdays, at most, he would sit in the living room with experts to chat about their needs and the progress of the project.

Of course, Yang Cheng's fingerprints and irises are useful, and he has the highest authority in this small building, no nonsense, quickly passed the scan verification, and led Carson and Hansen into the elevator.

The second basement floor is where the experts spend the longest time every day. Except for eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet, the rest of the time is here.

Fortunately, the so-called "human rights" were already taken into consideration during the original renovation. The usable area of ​​the second basement floor was greatly expanded, and instead of adopting a closed compartment layout, a transparent layout was adopted. Staying here, you will not feel blocked.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw a huge workbench, which was filled with all kinds of experimental equipment. There were hundreds of large and small test tubes, and there were even instruments for metal cutting.

At this time, several researchers in white coats and masks and goggles were intensively operating something.

Surrounding the workbench, there are safes for experimental materials and spare tools on one side of the wall, and electronic equipment on the other side. Most of the researchers and assistants are discussing something in front of a large screen. Everyone's attention was focused on the project, and no one noticed Yang Cheng's arrival.

Yang Cheng didn't rush forward to interrupt the work of the experts, but stood at the elevator entrance and asked Carson in a low voice, "Tell me first, what progress has been made?"

Carson replied without hesitation, "According to experts, the material of the golden mask is very likely to be made of incredible materials, and the source of this material is most likely a meteorite that fell from the sky. When the meteorite traveled through space and came to the earth, A change that is difficult to explore has occurred, and when this change passes through the atmosphere, a qualitative change occurs due to severe friction, making an ordinary meteorite produce the characteristics of memory metal."

"Memory metal?" Yang Cheng cried out in surprise, her heart beating wildly.

At this time, an expert discovered the arrival of Yang Cheng and others, and at the same time heard Carson's words, he walked up and answered, "Yes, it is memory metal. Possesses the preliminary characteristics of memory metal,

Of course, what Mr. Carson said was not accurate. "

Carson was not dissatisfied, but just explained respectfully, "Dear Professor Smith, I am just conveying that metal research is not my major."

Yang Cheng pursed her lips and smiled, it was the first time she saw Carson, a staid old man, being taught a lesson.

He reached out and shook hands with the other party, "Professor Smith, this is the first time we have met."

Although Professor Smith is an American, he is definitely a senior expert in the study of ancient Egyptian history, otherwise he would not have been invited by Ruiz to join the research team. Of course, the necessary remuneration is for him to temporarily give up his position at Cairo University The important reason is that this old guy is not as lofty as other professors, but what cannot be denied is his absolute authority in academics.

"It is a pleasure to work for you, respected Mr. Yang, your generosity has helped my family through the most difficult time." It can be seen that this is Professor Smith's heartfelt gratitude.

Yang Cheng waved his hand, "I'm a businessman and I advocate fair trade. The knowledge Smith taught you is worth any price I pay, please don't mind."

He voluntarily gave up his qualifications to be a professor benefactor, just like he said, I will pay and you will contribute, everyone gets what they need, and no one owes anyone else.

Yang Cheng didn't want to talk nonsense, he was very eager to know whether this memory metal could be used by him.

"Professor, please tell us about your research results in detail? Carson is right. He is not a professional, so he cannot fully describe it. Professor, please don't be offended."

Smith is not an old-fashioned academic expert, and he is very good at dealing with people. He pulled off his mask and smiled and invited Yang Cheng to sit at an open desk, and made a few cups of coffee himself, as if he was the owner of the place.

"Mr. Yang, I don't know how much you know about ancient Egypt, but I must first emphasize one point: the sky was very important to the ancient Egyptians, and this meaning can be described as cross-era!"

Professor Smith is worthy of being an expert in the industry. Just from the opening remarks, it can be seen that he has extraordinary charm when teaching. It is no wonder that most of the students he teaches have become talents in various fields in Egypt.

"Objects that fell from the sky were regarded as gifts from the gods in the eyes of the ancient Egyptians, which means that jewelry or treasures made of meteorites can become gifts for the royal family or the upper class."

Yang Cheng listened very seriously and didn't dare to let go of any clues, but obviously, this opening remark didn't seem to have any necessary connection with memory metal.

After briefly introducing some ancient Egyptian attitudes towards meteorites, Professor Smith finally turned to the topic, "After our research, we found that the material used in Tutankhamun's gold mask is similar to a string of necklaces discovered by the British 100 years ago. The material used is exactly the same, no no, the same meteorite to be precise, but the forging and rolling techniques used are different."

Yang Cheng's little heart was beating wildly again. There were two items using the same material. What does this mean?

"It was an extraterrestrial meteorite with a history of 5,000 years ago. The ancient Egyptians hammered the meteorite into flakes, then rolled the meteorite into a tube, and finally made beads for necklaces. It looks very weird, it is a form that is difficult for people to understand, and after research, it is found that this necklace does not seem to meet the aesthetics of the Egyptians at that time.

So some scientists came up with a whim and proposed a guess that everyone sounded unbelievable at the time, that the beads on this string of necklaces were deformed. "

Yang Cheng couldn't wait to ask, "Is it because of the characteristics of the memory metal that the beads have returned to their original form for thousands of years?"

Professor Smith nodded affirmatively, "Yes, this is the only reasonable explanation. In other words, this extraterrestrial meteorite may be the earliest metal material with memory in the world."

Yang Cheng was immediately puzzled, "Then why this news has never been released, it stands to reason that the discovery of memory metal materials should be the biggest news for scientists."

Professor Smith shook his head, "It's not that simple, although during the research process, a scientist from the University of London used gamma rays to conduct a detailed analysis of the necklace, proving that the beads were made of meteorite fragments.

But at first, scientists thought that the material used in the beads was just the most common iron. In addition, this analysis also speculated for the first time on the production process of the beads. Scientists believe that the ancient Egyptians used forging and rolling techniques. Beating it into a flat shape, rolling it into a tube, and finally making it into beads for necklaces, people used this method in the earliest days of the Iron Age, so memory metals only exist in the mouths of scientists. , more is regarded as a bold conjecture, but no one has produced tangible evidence. "

According to Professor Smith, this string of necklaces was discovered during excavation in a pre-dynastic cemetery in Lower Egypt in 1911. The science and technology of that era let alone the study of memory metals, it is already very powerful to be able to find that its materials come from extraterrestrial meteorites .

"When did people discover the difference in this necklace?"

"A few years ago, scientists from the University of London conducted a thorough analysis of the beads with the help of scanning electron microscopy and computerized tomography. The scanning results showed that the metal contained in the beads had a high content of nickel, which further verified that the material of the beads came from meteorites. In addition, they It was also found that the metal possesses a distinct crystal structure, known as the 'Widmanstatten structure', which is only found in iron meteorites.

During the research process, they found that the meteorite-derived metals below were exposed by the areas of the weathered surface that were shed. These areas are called "small windows" by scientists. A big reason for being able to make breakthroughs from the Golden Mask. "
