"I borrowed a batch of experimental instruments from the University of London through my relationship. Through guessing, we boldly used non-intrusive neutrons and gamma rays to find a'small window' in the golden mask similar to that string of necklace beads. After analysis, it was determined that the mask contained a large amount of nickel and phosphorus.

It was further confirmed that the material used in the beads and the mask was probably the same meteorite.

In addition, we found that the golden mask was also made by repeated beatings, instead of 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 has the same characteristics of memory metal as the beads, why is the golden mask not deformed? Or it is not restored to what it should be. status?"

Professor Smith seemed a little entangled, "Mr. Yang, I am not an expert in metal materials, so I can't explain one sentence or two, but your understanding of memorizing metals may have gone wrong."

After a pause, Professor Smith explained in plain and simple language as much as possible, "Actually, memory metal is also called shape memory alloy. In our understanding, memory alloy is a very special metal, which is very easy to deform and bend.

For example, if you put a bent metal in hot water, the metal will rush forward and straighten it quickly; put it in cold water, and the metal will return to its original shape; stretch a spring in cold water and put the spring in hot water When it is in the middle, the spring is automatically closed again, which can be treated as memory metal.

When memorizing the stable state of a metal, you can change its shape arbitrarily, but when it encounters a high temperature and reaches its unique ‘abnormal temperature’, it will immediately return to its stable state.

But these most basic characteristics are just the initial stage, also known as the "one-way memory effect", on top of which there are two-way and full-course memory effects.

The meteorites made into golden masks and necklaces may be due to some accident, combining the internal nickel-titanium elements to accidentally create the characteristics of memory metal, but its structure is not stable, so this characteristic is not too obvious. Performance. "

Professor Smith’s series of explanations, Hansen and the others were confused. Fortunately, Yang Cheng had received a high-quality education, and coupled with his high IQ, he understood what the professor wanted to express.

The golden mask is not deformed. It has changed, but it is not so obvious, or the deformation process is very slow. If you want to completely restore the form, you must find the point of its'abnormal temperature', and then stimulate it to recover. Its original form, but the'abnormal temperature' needs a lot of experimentation to find. They don't have enough test materials in their hands, and the experiment will be difficult to carry out.

"Professor, I understand what you mean, and then the previous question said, what else did you find?"

Professor Smith likes to talk to smart people very much.

"The existence of a large amount of nickel and phosphorus greatly boosted the morale of our team, so we made persistent efforts. We also found a small amount of cobalt, germanium and other elements in the mask, and the content was consistent with common iron meteorites. Of course, that extremely small amount The discovery of titanium further confirmed the accidental speculation that the meteorite was traveling in space. It is also because of the appearance of titanium that this ordinary iron meteorite has undergone a qualitative change. It can be said that this is a piece of natural iron meteorite. The shape memory alloy created."

After taking a sip of coffee, he continued, "Then 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 is difficult for humans to make a high-level form of the golden mask by hand. The existence of it shows that the ancient Egyptians have been studying this meteorite for many years and have mastered relatively advanced metal processing knowledge and technology during a large number of production experiments.

But that's all. The ancient Egyptians only regarded meteorites as the power and gift of gods, and did not study the significance of their existence too deeply. After they were made into jewelry and presented to the nobles and royal families, they became a symbol of the gods alive. "

Speaking of this, Professor Smith’s tone was a little bit regretful. I am afraid that his reigning ancient Egyptians regretted that if they could realize the importance of memory metal at that time, perhaps the world process would have a major turn.

But Yang Cheng is more concerned about the discovery of this major study whether he can create economic benefits for him. If not, all of this will be meaningless.

But he can't ask too bluntly, it will hurt the self-esteem of these scientists.

After hesitating for a moment, he changed the subject and asked, "Is today's discovery the result of scientific and technological progress? Why did Earl Carnarvon not make similar progress after decades of research?"

Before the start of the research, the research team headed by Professor Smith had read through the research data of Earl Carnarvon for decades so Professor Smith understood the significance of the Yang Orange question.

However, he did not say directly, but asked with a wry smile, "Mr. Yang, although it is presumptuous, but I want to ask, do you know how much we spent in total in less than 3 months from the beginning of the research to now? "

Yang Cheng was stunned. He really didn't know the problem. The power of funding was in Carson's hands, and Carson had never told himself about the shortage of funding.

Turning his head to look at Carson, hoping that he can give himself an answer, but Carson showed the same expression as Professor Smith—bitter!

"Nearly 20 million pounds!"

Hansen and Andrew stared, and Yang Cheng shouted in fright, "How much?"

Unbelievable in his eyes like never before, Carson repeated, "Nearly 20 million pounds!"

"Did I draft it!" Yang Cheng didn't know what to say, only a national curse represented the mood at this time. It cost almost 20 million pounds in three months. This is not to spend money, but to burn money, no, no , I didn’t burn money so fast!

He believes that Carson and the research team will not do anything about 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 in vain. At least the progress of Yang Cheng at this stage is very satisfaction.

Now he finally understands why the Earl of Carnarvon has studied for decades and has not achieved the results of his own research for a few months. Regardless of his reputation as the earl, in this costly project, the Earl of Carnarvon Even if he is really poor, I'm afraid he has spent less than a quarter of the money he has spent in the past few decades.

Yang Cheng felt that his heart, liver and lungs were trembling, and he was not qualified to make fun of people. According to this method, he would be able to recall his bitterness and sweetness in a few months and experience Diaosi's life again.
