"Through my relationship, I borrowed a batch of experimental instruments from the University of London. Through guessing, we boldly used non-invasive neutrons and gamma rays to find a 'small window' similar to the necklace beads in the gold mask, and carried out After analysis, it was determined that the mask contained significant amounts of nickel and phosphorous present.
It further confirmed that the material used for the beads and the mask is likely to be the same meteorite.
In addition, we found that the gold mask was also made by repeated hammering, rather than using traditional carving or drilling techniques like other jewelry found in the same tomb. "
Yang Cheng frowned again, "Professor, I don't understand. If it comes from the same meteorite, that is to say, the mask and the beads have some characteristics of memory metal, but why the golden mask is not deformed? Or is it not restored to what it should have been?" Shape?"
Professor Smith seemed a bit tangled, "Mr. Yang, I'm not an expert in metal materials, so I can't explain a few sentences clearly, but your understanding of memory metals may be biased."
After a pause, Professor Smith tried to explain in straightforward and simple language, "In fact, memory metal is also called shape memory alloy. In our cognition, memory alloy is a very special metal that is easily deformed and bent.
For example, if you put a bent metal into hot water, the metal will rush forward and straighten quickly; if you put it in cold water, the metal will return to its original shape; if you stretch a spring in cold water, put the spring into hot water When it is in the center, the spring is automatically retracted again, and these can be regarded as memory metal.
When the memory metal is in a stable state, you can change its shape arbitrarily, but when it encounters high temperature and reaches its unique 'transformation temperature', it will immediately restore its stable state shape.
But these most basic characteristics are just the initial stage, also known as the "one-way memory effect", and there are two-way, full-process memory effects on top of it.
The meteorites made into gold masks and necklaces may be due to some kind of accident, combining the nickel-titanium elements inside, accidentally creating the characteristics of memory metal, but its structure is not stable, so this characteristic is not too obvious Performance. "
Hansen and the others were confused by Professor Smith's series of explanations. Fortunately, Yang Cheng has received a high-quality education, and coupled with her high IQ, she finally understood what the professor wanted to express.
The golden mask is not without deformation, it has changed, but it is not so obvious, or the process of deformation is very slow, if you want to completely restore the shape, you must find the point of its "metamorphosis temperature", and then it is possible to recover after external stimulation Its original form, but the 'transformation temperature' requires a lot of experiments to find, and they don't have enough test materials, so the experiment is difficult to carry out.
"Professor, I understand what you mean, and then I asked the previous question, what else did you find?"
Professor Smith likes to chat with smart people, and he can understand everything without wasting too much.
"The discovery of a large amount of nickel and phosphorus greatly boosted the morale of our team, so we continued to work hard. We also found a small amount of cobalt, germanium and other elements in the mask, and the content was consistent with the common iron meteorites. Of course, the extremely small amount The discovery of the titanium element further confirmed the speculation that the meteorite had an accident during the space voyage, and it was precisely because of the appearance of the titanium element that this ordinary iron meteorite underwent a qualitative change. The memory alloy created."
After taking a sip of coffee, he continued, "Afterwards, we conducted a lot of analysis and research on the internal structure of the mask. It stands to reason that with the technology of that era, it was difficult for human beings to hand-manufacture such a high-level form of a golden mask. The existence of it shows that the ancient Egyptians have been studying this meteorite for many years, and they have mastered relatively advanced metal processing knowledge and technology in a large number of production experiments.
But that's all. The ancient Egyptians only regarded meteorites as the power and gift of the gods.
The significance of its existence has not been studied too deeply. After being made into jewelry and dedicated to the noble royal family, it has become a symbol of the living gods. "
Speaking of this, Professor Smith's tone was a little regretful. I'm afraid he was sorry for the ancient Egyptians. If they could realize the importance of memory metal at that time, maybe the world process would undergo a major turning point.
However, Yang Cheng is more concerned about whether this major research discovery can create economic benefits for him. If not, all of this will be meaningless.
But he can't ask too bluntly, it will hit the self-esteem of these scientists.
After hesitating for a while, he changed the subject and asked, "Is today's discovery the result of scientific and technological progress? Why hasn't Earl Carnarvon made similar progress after decades of research?"
Before the study began, the research team headed by Professor Smith read through the research materials of Earl Carnarvon for several decades, so Professor Smith understood the significance of Yang Cheng's question.
But he didn't say it directly, but asked with a wry smile, "Mr. Yang, although it's very presumptuous, I really want to ask, do you know how much we spent in less than 3 months from the beginning of the research? "
Yang Cheng was taken aback, he really didn't know about this issue, the financial power was controlled by Carson, and Carson never told him about the shortage of funds.
Turning to look at Carson, hoping that he could give him an answer, but Carson showed the same expression as Professor Smith - bitter!
"Nearly £20 million!"
Hansen and Andrew's eyes widened, and Yang Cheng shouted in fright, "How much?"
Unbelievable in his eyes, Carson repeated, "Nearly £20 million!"
"Did I draft it!" Yang Cheng didn't know what to say, only a national curse represented his mood at this time, and he spent almost 20 million pounds in 3 months. This is not a waste of money, but a waste of money, no no no , Burning money is not so fast!
He believes that Carson and the research team will not mess with the funds. This is self-confidence. In this case, Yang Cheng can't blame anything. After all, he is working for himself, and the money is not wasted. At least the progress at this stage is very good for Yang Cheng. satisfy.
Now he finally understands why Earl Carnarvon's research for decades has not yielded any results from his own research for several months. Don't look at him as the Earl, but in this project that costs money like water, Earl Carnarvon Even if he is really poor, I am afraid that the money he has spent in the past few decades is less than a quarter of the money he spent in the past few months?
Yang Cheng felt his heart, liver and lungs trembling. He was not qualified to laugh at people. According to this trick, in a few months he would be able to reminisce about bitterness and sweetness, and re-experience the life of a dick.
