I ask you to design equipment, but you do science fiction for me?

Chapter 393: Contact with God's Realm! New Medium Materials!
In the past, it would take several days to excavate a huge ancient tomb.

Now the entire ancient tomb can be excavated within one day.

Su Chen heard from the experts that they had already dug up a lot of things, and they had recently discovered a gathering place for an alien base.

There has been no exploration yet, but now that Su Chen is here, they are ready to let Su Chen lead them to continue digging.

After staying in the base for a few days, Su Chen had a general understanding of the base.

There aren't many changes from before, except that there are a few more people and a warehouse has been built to store antiques.

Experts have discovered an ancient tomb of aliens. It is not accurate to call it a tomb, it should be called a base.

It is similar to what they discovered at the beginning. It is also an alien base, but this base is a little special.

The material used for the base's exterior was not what they had discovered before, but a new type of material.

The hardness of this material has caused experts to fall into deep thought, and they have not yet found a way to break this material.

On this day, Su Chen and the experts came to the top of the ruins. One of the experts pointed to the black hole below and said, "This is the entrance."

"There is a huge piece of black metal at the entrance. We have tried many methods but have not been able to cut it open."

"But some large equipment has not been used yet. If these large equipment are used, it should be able to cut it open."

He was silent for a moment and continued, "We are not planning to use large equipment yet, because large equipment is likely to destroy the structure inside. We are trying to use a relatively easy method to break the black metal."

Su Chen nodded and came to the metal material with everyone else.

The metal material looked like black charcoal, emitting a dark glow.

Su Chen touched it gently and felt a hint of coolness.

I took my hand back and looked at it. My hand was not hurt at all. It should be an extremely hard metal material.

The expert who studied metal materials walked up to Su Chen and gave him a brief introduction to the metal materials.

They named the metallic substance black metal.

The characteristics of black metal are that it is hard and is not afraid of water or fire. Its biggest feature is that it can repair itself automatically.

When Su Chen heard about automatic repair, he was surprised and asked curiously: "How did you find out that black metal has the ability to automatically repair itself?"

One of the experts smiled and said, "Aren't you trying to open the black metal? You used a lot of methods."

"When we hit it with the gun, it left a mark on the black metal. Although the mark was not very big, it was left on the surface."

"But after just over thirty minutes, there was no trace left on the black metal. So after testing, we concluded that black metal has the ability to repair itself."

"Depending on the size of the wound, the time it takes to repair it will also vary. If we can obtain this black metal and use it to build fighter planes, the defense capabilities of the fighter planes will be greatly improved."

“And we can also use it in medicine, but we don’t know much about medicine.”

Su Chen pondered for a moment and asked them if they had cut out the black metal.

Everyone nodded, they could still solve this problem.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to research so many problems.

Su Chen was very satisfied, then he walked around and asked what was around the black metal.

On the surface, the area surrounding the black metal is made up of rock walls, but we have not yet dug into the surrounding area, so we don't know how big the black metal is.

One of the experts told Su Chen that after testing, the area of ​​this piece of black metal is at least around 100 square meters.

And it is not flat, but curved inward, which means that black metal is a space that you have to open before you can enter it.

Simply put, black metal is like a house. The door is right in front of them, but they can't open it. It is basically impossible to open the door from other places.

Su Chen nodded and asked someone to bring a special knife. This knife was called an obsidian knife and was made of a kind of obsidian.

The obsidian is not the obsidian that everyone knows, but a rare metal substance forged into a knife.

This knife is sharper than diamond.

And you don't need to use much force to cut some hard objects.

Looking at the obsidian knife in his hand, Su Chen slowly inserted the obsidian knife into the black metal.

The first time I inserted it, it didn't go in because the black metal was so hard.

Su Chen exerted more strength and finally stabbed the black penis into it, then slid it hard along the right side inwards, leaving a mark.

Su Chen slid down again, then slid in the opposite direction, cutting out a square.

Because the inside of the square was not cut, Su Chen pulled out the Black Obsidian Knife and made a horizontal cut at the edge.

A piece of black metal the size of an egg was cut out.

He looked at the cut area and found nothing special. It was no different from the black metal on the surface.

Su Chen sighed softly, asked someone to take the black metal away, and then observed the cut area.

Since black metal has the ability to repair itself, this position should be repaired soon.

One of the experts told Su Chen that such a large area of ​​marks would take about a day to recover.

Su Chen nodded. It was impossible to let everyone stay here and observe all the time, so he set up several cameras to record the whole process.

He asked everyone to go back first while he took a look here by himself.

Some experts wanted to get closer to Su Chen, so they stayed with him.

Most of the experts went back, and Yuan Jingna stayed as well.

These past few days, he also wandered around the base and looked at the first man-eating plant he planted.

Now this man-eating tree has grown extremely huge, as big as a city.

Su Chen also saw it, but he did not go to take a look at the man-eating tree.

Yuan Jingna also planned to take Su Chen to see the man-eating tree after he finished watching black metal.

After more than an hour, Su Chen discovered that black metal did have the ability to repair itself.

Because some parts of the place that was just cut have been repaired.

Although Su Chen couldn't figure out the principle behind it, this phenomenon still made him extremely happy.

When he stood up, his legs felt a little numb, so he gently pounded his thighs and stood there for a long time before leaving.

Yuan Jingna followed him, and the other experts went back.

Su Chen didn't pay attention to Yuan Jingna at first, because he and Yuan Jingna didn't live far away, and he thought he was following him back.

But when they reached the door of his room, Yuan Jingna did not follow him back, but followed him.

At this time, he realized that Yuan Jingna seemed to have something wrong. When she turned around to look at him, Yuan Jingna smiled embarrassedly.

Su Chen frowned, thinking that this girl had no good intentions. He stopped and glared at him again: "What do you want to do?" Yuan Jingna looked into the distance embarrassedly. From this direction, she could see the man-eating tree that had grown into the sky.

"Do you want to go see the man-eating tree?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked into the distance.

You can see the dense branches and leaves of the man-eating tree, which is growing very well.

"Can't you see it now?" Su Chen said casually.

Yuan Jingna stamped her feet in dissatisfaction, "I mean go and take a look at him. After all, this is the first man-eating tree we planted together."

"Don't you think he has a special bond with us?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "He and you must have a special relationship. After all, you quarreled with us a lot in order to protect him."

"As for me, he probably has no feelings."

Although Su Chen said so, he still followed Yuan Jingna to the man-eating tree.

The trunk of the man-eating tree is so thick that you can't see the end at a glance, it looks like a huge mountain.

Su Chen was amazed. He didn't expect it to have grown to this extent.

If it continued to grow like this, he even suspected that the man-eating tree would be able to burst the entire moon.

"Have you done any research on man-eating trees?"

When Su Chen asked this, Yuan Jingna was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Su Chen was talking about.

Su Chen sighed helplessly, looked at the man-eating tree in front of him and said, "He has grown too big."

"If it continues like this, do you think there will be an accident? Will the entire moon be swallowed by it? Will it affect the base?"

"How deep have his roots penetrated into the ground now? Will he pierce through the planet one day?"

"How tall will it grow? Will its branches grow outside the planet one day? Have you ever thought about these questions?"

Yuan Jingna shook her head innocently. He had never really thought about these questions.

However, after hearing what Su Chen said, he really decided to study it.

"I know you're worried, but it hasn't happened yet, has it?"

"Look at how the man-eating tree looks like. Isn't it amazing?"

Su Chen nodded silently and said nothing more.

At this time, the man-eating tree was shaking its branches and leaves vigorously, as if to express its welcome to Su Chen.

Su Chen gently patted the body of the man-eating tree with one hand. The man-eating tree did not react much and did not attack Su Chen.

While observing the patterns on the man-eating tree, Su Chen asked Yuan Jingna: "How far has the thinking of this man-eating tree reached? Can it understand human language?"

Yuan Jingna shook her head in disappointment, saying that the man-eating tree's thinking could only be fixed between five and eight years old.

So far, no man-eating tree has been seen to have the ability to continue growing in its thinking.

Su Chen felt a lot more relieved, and he chatted a little more about the man-eating tree, and then went back.

Yuan Jingna stayed beside the man-eating tree and chatted with her about some of her inner secrets.

After returning to the room, Su Chen went to his own laboratory. The experts had already placed the cut black metal in a very conspicuous place in Su Chen's laboratory.

Su Chengang used instruments to observe the black metal and found that its internal structure was extremely complex, as if it had life.

It has many veins, which are almost the same as the meridians in the human body.

That's probably why it can repair itself.

Turn on the computer next to you.

The computer is showing everything at the black metal entrance of the ruins.

The part that was just dug out has now recovered a little. Although this repair is very slow, in the time of the universe, a day is a very short time.

Therefore, this repair speed is considered fast in the universe.

I just don't know if there is any way to speed up the repair process.

After all, if a battle occurs, the enemy will not give you time to repair.

After studying for a while, Su Chen went to sleep.

The next morning, he and the experts went to the site again.

For now, they have to put aside the research on black metal. First, they have to open this door and see what is inside.

An expert put forward his own idea. Since the obsidian knife can cut the black gold stone, they can make a large obsidian knife cutting machine to cut the door open and then go in to explore.

This idea has been proposed before, but there is a problem: black metal is self-healing.

Although they could cut it open, what would they do if they got in and the black metal repaired and then closed the door?

Even if they have enough time to get out, the black metal will still repair itself and eventually block the door.

Will they have to cut it again then?

You know, the cutting instrument made of obsidian consumes a huge amount of energy every time it runs, which is also a huge loss for them. This is not an ordinary cutting machine that can cut with electricity.

Su Chen didn't know how to open it, but he didn't think too much about it. He looked at the experts and said, "This thing should have a mechanism. Let's look for it carefully. Maybe we can find a way to open it."

Everyone nodded, but no one moved because they had searched the place many times before.

Nothing was found in other places.

There was only this wall blocking them.

Seeing that no one moved, Su Chen could only look around.

Suddenly, he noticed a black spot on the wall not far away.

Under the gaze of everyone, he came to the black spot and observed it carefully.

"Dig up this place."

Someone immediately brought tools and dug up this place.

A piece of black metal fell in front of everyone. It was a round piece of black metal, like a ball.

Seeing this round black metal, everyone showed surprise and a little embarrassed look on their faces.

They had been checking here for such a long time and didn't find anything, but Su Chen was able to find something as soon as he arrived, which made them feel a little embarrassed.

Su Chen was not proud, nor did he show off to others. He stared at the round black metal in front of him and fell into deep thought, muttering to himself.
