Chapter 145 The Seismograph Is Taken

The plump round shape and smooth surface look like a bloated tank.On the top are several large coils, similar to the coils of the magnetic field detection instrument in the laboratory, wrapped in special glass, like big ears on a seismograph.

Three mechanical arms are mounted on the body, making the seismograph look more like a three-legged crab with big ears.On the smooth surface, the logo and name of the marching ant company are clearly printed.

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

"This instrument is the instrument of the marching ant company?" An expert circled the instrument, except for a few large coils, no special place was found.

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

"What is the use?"

The group looked at Wu Zhen.

"The seismograph of the marching ant company." Wu Zhen said.

As soon as these words came out, the court 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 that the paper on earthquake early warning published by the Marching Ant Company Chen Mo some time ago?" a geological expert asked.

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

"I have read his paper. The idea is very novel, but it's too wild. It's all theoretical, with little applicability, and the possibility of failure is high," said a geological expert.

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

Wu Zhen's words made everyone unable to refute.

"In the area of ​​earthquake early warning, we have been studying for decades, but we have only stayed at seismic wave early warning. We are not necessarily all right. If we want a longer warning, why can't we learn from other people's ideas? Stones from other mountains can be used for jade."

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

"Don't talk about this now, let's take a look at the use of this instrument." Wu Zhen inserted the U disk 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 them.

The selection of the location of the seismograph is very important. First of all, it must be a fault with active plate movement, and it must be above the seabed of 2000 meters.

When designed, it can only withstand water pressure above 2000 meters.The water is too deep for the seismograph to withstand the sea pressure.

The scientific expedition team often conducts scientific expeditions in the Mariana area, and they have an understanding of the topography and geology of this area.The placement location can be easily found.

It is now in autumn, the weather is relatively stable, the sea level is not too windy, and the seismograph is launched very smoothly.

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

The Western Pacific, where the Earth’s Pacific plate and Asia-Europe plate meet, is one of the places with the most earthquakes.

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

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

While other scientific research is being conducted, the seismograph is also being put on at the same time.Except for the site selection, there are no major problems, and the delivery method is very simple.The first five have all been put into use, this is the last seismograph.

"The installation was successful."

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

Shi Tengchuanying 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 specific location the last few times, but this time I followed it from afar.The task he received was to find out what exactly these Chinese people had thrown into the sea, and if possible, to 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 had just stayed.

The sea is calm and the sea breeze is not strong, so that the ship is not so shaken.Shi Tengchuanying walked to the side of the ship and checked the sea with a telescope, but found nothing.

"Put into sonar and find out what they put here just now." Shi Tengchuanying put down the telescope and said.

With an order from Shi Tengchuanying, 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 the sonar.

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

Marching Ant Company.

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

All seismographs in Tibetan areas have been installed, monitoring stations have also been set up, and some test data have been sent back.

Several 3.0-magnitude earthquakes were detected, but these earthquakes are not 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 take the initiative to warn.

The launch of instruments in the Pacific region is also underway. I believe that all instruments will be launched soon.

With regard to the seismograph, the next question should be the detection data. He doesn't need to worry too much.Now he has invested in new research.

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

The Science and Technology Library has to study eight technologies, and he has not completed the materials.Only by completing this material can you get the next project's research.

During this period of time, all the required equipment has been returned. What he has to do now is to synthesize the normal temperature superconducting material-silicon carbon.This material has a honeycomb hexagonal molecular structure, similar to the structure of graphene.

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

In an experiment just now, the concentration of the chemical agent 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 multiple purifications to obtain a small amount of silicon carbon.

The higher the purity of this material, the better the superconductivity.

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

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

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