Chapter 504: Attention
The next day, early in the morning.
Hiccup…
The solar lamps above the block emitted a light similar to natural sunlight. Julia, who was lying in bed, reached out and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table.
Turn off the rooster crowing ringtone on your phone.
She slowly went to the bathroom to wash up.
She picked up something that looked like a dental mold and put it into her mouth. Then she bit it, and immediately everything inside and outside the gums was sucked away by it. After sucking away all the attachments on the gums, some substances that could maintain the health of the gums were sprayed out.
This is an automatic teeth cleaner, a new product that is more efficient, has no dead corners, is gentler and more convenient than an electric toothbrush.
Then Julia picked up something similar to a helmet and put it on her head. Immediately, the skin secretions and keratin debris on her face, hair, scalp and neck were quickly cleaned up by this head cleaner.
After washing up, Julia, feeling refreshed, put on her small backpack and went to the breakfast shop in the neighborhood.
"Two vegetable buns and a bottle of soy milk."
The waiter brought the food over shortly.
There are quite a few company employees who come here to have breakfast. After all, they only work six hours a day, so there is not much need for take-out or delivery.
The reason why the catering industry in many places has spawned take-out and delivery businesses is actually because the working hours are too long and many people do not have time to eat slowly.
In cities like Nepenthe City, the pace of life is very slow.
There is actually a special emergency food storage cabin in Julia's ecological survey team's office building. If you really have to work overtime urgently, or don't have time to eat in the staff restaurant outside, you can also choose to eat emergency food.
After breakfast, she went to work leisurely.
Today is not a field work day, and she and several colleagues are processing some biological samples collected yesterday.
Donning a full protective suit, Julia picked up a sample storage container, which contained an arthropod similar to a stick insect.
Cells are skillfully extracted and their entire gene sequences are tested, including small molecule genes that have rarely been studied before, and all of them are quickly detected.
Once the gene sequence comes out, genetic matching and tracing can be carried out.
Sapiens has a project called "Tree of Life", which contains the evolutionary paths and complex relationships of various known organisms on Earth.
Jin Yingzai glanced at the location on the gene map: "It's not a relative of the stick insect. It seems to be the result of convergent evolution."
Research is ongoing.
Julia picked up the 13th sample, a blue spot fungus that she had collected herself yesterday.
As the genetic testing equipment runs rapidly, dense data pops up on the screen, along with a variety of accompanying quick analysis content.
“Eh? This is…”
[Unknown compound, organic type, molecular weight 3827.5… ]
She did not dare to be careless and quickly retested it, and found that there was no compound that met the characteristics in the known compound database.
"Wena, we found a suspected new compound. Come over here and do some physical and chemical property analysis."
Chen Wenna came over and looked at the analysis data carefully: "It is indeed an unknown type. I will analyze it right away."
Taking one of the samples of blue spot fungus, Chen Wenna entered a laboratory with more complete and sophisticated scientific research equipment.
The first is multi-stage molecular sieve, which screens out compounds of different qualities and forms layer by layer.
Then came cryo-electron microscopy.
Soon Chen Wenna saw the unknown compound in a crystalline state. In order to avoid the mixing of multiple compounds, she readjusted the monitoring plan.
After three different tests, all of which resulted in the same molecular weight and element ratio, she was basically certain that this was a new compound.
Since it was confirmed to be a new compound, she followed the process and conducted a comprehensive preliminary analysis of the physical and chemical properties of the compound.
Since the samples were limited, Chen Wenna did not dare to waste them and conducted the experiment very carefully.
She didn't care too much about this new compound. In the Amazon rainforest, there were too many species that had not been discovered by humans, and many of them contained new compounds.
Not every new compound has a use. It's like opening a blind box. A lucky person may come across a new compound with application value all at once; an unlucky person may never come across a valuable new compound in his entire life.
When studying materials science, sometimes you really need luck.
The first items tested are physical properties.
Suddenly Chen Wenna stopped, stared at a parameter on the screen, and muttered to herself: "Huh? After ionization and decomposition, synchronous resonance will occur?"
She decomposed the compound into two subtypes of crystals, separated them carefully, and placed them in two cryo-electron microscopes. She then used electromagnetic waves to stimulate one of the subtypes of crystals.
At first, the electromagnetic waves did not produce any abnormal reaction.
Until the light wave frequency is tested.
"33.5 nanometers of deep ultraviolet light..."
Under the stimulation of 33.5 nanometers deep ultraviolet light, the subtype crystals showed slight vibrations.
This is not the key point. The key point is that the subtype crystals under another cryo-electron microscope actually showed slight vibrations without any external force.
Looking at the feedback data from the two cryo-electron microscopes, Chen Wenna's eyes flashed with surprise: "Is it magnetic field resonance?"
She quickly turned on the magnetic field detector, which was a laboratory-grade magnetic field detector with an accuracy of nanometers.
Under the magnetic field electron microscope, Chen Wenna saw a very magical scene.
The magnetic flux lines of two subtype crystals that are about 50 nanometers apart are connected to each other, but they are not a whole.
A noun suddenly came to her mind:
Magnetic monopole?
"Is it really a magnetic monopole?" Chen Wenna didn't dare to jump to conclusion. After all, she was not researching in this area.
In order to avoid making any mistakes, she quickly repeated the experiment more than a dozen times and conducted several verification experiments with different plans.
In these experiments, the two subtypes of crystals that were electrolyzed from this new compound formed a special magnet with .
Of the two subtypes of crystals, one is the negative electrode crystal and the other is the positive electrode crystal, but they are separate.
Due to the lack of a large enough venue, Chen Wenna only knew that within 20 meters, the two subtypes of crystals would still affect each other.
She quickly notified the team leader and then wrote an analysis report.
This matter was uploaded layer by layer, and in less than five hours, the discovery report of this new compound reached Jiang Mingxuan, head of the scientific division.
As soon as Jiang Mingxuan saw the compound suspected to contain magnetic monopoles, he could not sit still. Regardless of the fact that he was in the Mada Island branch, he directly arranged a special plane to fly directly to the Amazon rainforest in South America.
At the same time, he also mobilized a number of researchers in related fields and asked them to rush to the Nepenthes City in the Amazon rainforest.
As for reporting to Li Qingye, Jiang Mingxuan felt that it was too early. After all, nothing was completely certain. If it was a mistake, it would be really embarrassing.
So he had to go there in person to confirm it. If it was true, he would make a good report and report the good news to Li Qingye. If it was a fake or a mismeasurement, he could also adapt to the situation.
The related laboratories of Sapiens around the world also received the news, and many big names in the field immediately set off.
