Chapter 144: Seismograph Was Taken Away

Fat round shape, smooth surface, looks like a bloated vat. On the top are several large coils, similar to the coils of the magnetic field detection instruments in the laboratory, wrapped in special glass, like big ears on a seismograph.

The body is equipped with three robotic arms that make the seismograph look more like a three-legged, big-eared crab. On the smooth surface, the logo and name of Army Ant Corporation are clearly printed.

They have been scientists for so long, and they have seen all kinds of strange instruments. This style, in the eyes of many people, seems very ordinary.

"Is this instrument from the Army Ant Company?" An expert circled around the instrument, but found nothing special except for a few large coils.

It took a lot of trouble, just for these six instruments, but they didn't know what these instruments were used for.

"What is the use?"

The group looked at Wu Zhen.

"The seismograph of the Army Ant Company," Wu Zhen said.

As soon as these words came out, the field fell into a strange silence. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. They all thought that this was just an ordinary geological exploration instrument, and the result was a seismograph.

"Is it the paper on earthquake early warning published by Chen Mo of the army ant company some time ago?" a geologist asked.

"Yes, this is the seismograph he made based on the principles of the paper," Wu Zhen said.

"I have seen his paper. The idea is very novel, but it is too imaginative. It is all theoretical, with little application, and there is a high possibility of failure." A geologist said.

"Knowing that you have to test if you fail, is it because you are afraid of failure, you don't experiment? This is not science."

Wu Zhen's words made everyone unable to refute.

"Earthquake early warning, we have been studying for decades, but we only stay in seismic wave early warning. We may not be all right. If we want to give early warning for a longer time, why can't we learn from other people's ideas?

Everyone fell silent, Wu Zhen was the oldest among them, and Wu Zhen was right.

"Let's not talk about this now, let's see how this instrument is used." Wu Zhen inserted the USB flash drive into the computer.

The scientific research ship set sail without much attention.

Everyone can only see the stability of the country on the surface, but they cannot see the scientists and workers who are working hard behind it.

The location of the seismograph is very important. First, it must be a fault with active plate movement, and it needs to be on the seafloor above 2,000 meters.

When designed, it can only withstand water pressure of more than 2000 meters. The water is too deep for the seismograph to withstand that much seawater pressure.

The scientific expedition team often conducts scientific expeditions in the Mariana area and has a good understanding of the topography and geology of this area. The placement is easy to find.

Now that it is autumn, the weather is relatively stable, and there are not too many waves at the sea level. The deployment of the seismograph is going very smoothly.

Few people know that the marching ant company they ridiculed has produced the seismometer, and no one knows that the installation of the seismometer has come to an end.

The eastern Pacific Ocean, which is the junction of the Earth's Pacific plate and the Eurasian plate, is one of the places with the most earthquakes.

Wu Zhen stared at the computer, and behind him, several experts watched quietly.

It has been half a month since we went to sea. The scientific research projects of this scientific research ship include marine chemistry, marine physics, marine biology and marine geology.

In parallel with other scientific expeditions, the deployment of seismographs is also being carried out at the same time. Except for the site selection problem, there are not too many other problems, and the delivery method is very simple. The first five have all been launched, and this is the last seismograph.

"The installation was successful."

After seeing the information displayed by the computer, Wu Zhen finally smiled. Hearing Wu Zhen's news, the others applauded.

Shi Teng Chuanying looked at the radar display and satellite images. The target above is a Chinese scientific research ship.

This scientific research ship seems to be throwing some instruments into the seabed.

I didn't know the exact location a few times, but this time I followed it from a distance. The task he received was to find out what this group of Chinese people had thrown into the sea, and if possible, retrieve a piece of equipment.

Seeing the red dot on the radar leaving, Shi Tengchuan Yingcai ordered to go to the location where the scientific research ship stopped just now.

The sea is calm and the sea breeze is not strong, so that the boat does not sway so much. Shi Teng Chuanying walked to the side of the ship and checked the sea surface with a telescope, but found nothing.

"Put in the sonar and find out what they put here just now." Shi Tengchuan said as he put down the telescope.

With Shi Teng Chuanying's order, the two sonar devices were dropped into the sea.

"Captain, found the situation." A soldier ran out and said.

Shi Teng Chuanying immediately walked into the cabin.

"There is a thing at this location, it is a metal object, it may be a submarine, or other unknown instruments." An officer said, pointing to the data collected by sonar.

Shi Tengchuanying thought for a while and said, "Prepare to salvage it."

Army Ant Corporation.

In the laboratory, Chen Mo's attention was all on the electron microscope.

All the seismographs in Tibetan areas have been installed, monitoring stations have also been established, and some detected data have been sent back.

Several earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 were detected, but these earthquakes cannot be felt by ordinary people, so they are not very useful, but the data proves that this instrument can be used. When the earthquake reaches magnitude 5 and is destructive, the seismograph will actively warn.

The launch of instruments in the Pacific region is also underway, and it is believed that all instruments will be launched soon.

As for the seismograph, the next step should be the problem of detection data, he doesn't have to worry too much. Now he has devoted himself to new research.

Room temperature superconducting materials, this is what he will focus on next.

The science and technology library needs to study eight technologies, and he has not completed the material one. Only after completing this one material can you get the research for the next project.

During this time, all the required instruments and equipment have been returned, and what he has to do now is to synthesize the normal temperature superconducting material - silicon carbon. In this material, the molecular structure is a honeycomb hexagon, similar to the structure of graphene.

After a long time, Chen Mo withdrew from the electron microscope and continued to prepare chemicals. The synthesis of this material requires special chemicals and is synthesized under high pressure.

I took an experiment just now, and the concentration of chemical agents was a little lower. The requirements of the experiment are very high. Although there is silicon carbon in the synthesized material, the purity is not high. It needs to be purified several times to obtain a small amount of silicon carbon.

This material, the higher the purity, the better the superconductivity.

If it is used to make superconducting chips, the requirements for the purity of silicon carbon are almost strict, just like the silicon crystals used in chips today. Although 100% pure synthesis is almost impossible, he also needs to improve the purity of silicon carbon as much as possible for future use.

While Chen Mo was carefully preparing the chemicals, the Mo Nv's voice suddenly sounded.

"Brother Mo, the people from the island country took a seismograph."
