In the laboratory.

The orange sphere was placed in an airtight lead container.

Eight flexible robotic arms carrying special probes were located inside the container, regularly distributed around the orange sphere.

The calibrator was turned on. As circles of infrared beams were spotted on the surface of the metal sphere, Lu Zhou, with the help of his assistant Xiao Ai, skillfully set the data collection, then pressed the button to start the test.

The eight micro-element neutron beams were released instantly, penetrating the shell of the ?Kill Core?. Through the eight spatial coordinate axes and the eight probes located on the robotic arm, the data of the sample from the macro and micro levels were collected.

The first was the macro level. The parts of the entire metal sphere were analyzed, then presented to Lu Zhou in the form of holographic images.

At the micro-level, the materials of each part, and even a series of nuanced information such as the spatial arrangement order at the level of atoms and molecules, chemical bonds, and molecular bonds, were all collected and summarized.

Using the data in the table, Xiao Ai, who served as an assistant, quickly drew it into a visual chart and presented it on the light blue holographic interface floating aside.

?Amazing…?

Lu Zhou stared at the scan data on the holographic panel for a long time. His eyes gradually began to show a hint of surprise.

He originally thought that the material that constituted the Kill Core would be something that could not be resolved with the level of technology on Earth. He didn?t expect the material presented to him to be surprisingly easy to understand.

At least, it was far from mysterious enough to make it incomprehensible.

?The surface of the sphere is a layer of molybdenum-titanium alloy… The stacking of metal atoms is a bit special, and the dispersed carbonized substance formed by molybdenum and the carbon in the alloy is quite interesting.?

Although such a technology could be achieved in the 21st century, it was difficult to make discrete carbonized material points so evenly distributed in the material, and this was equally so even with the technology of the 22nd century.

According to the public information collected by Xiao Ai from the database of Jin Ling University, no similar technology had been mentioned, and no one seemed to be doing research in this direction.

Lu Zhou put the material of the spherical shell aside for the time being as he continued to look inside the spherical shell.

When his gaze fell on the holographic image corresponding to the internal structure of the spherical shell, his whole body was stunned.

He saw layers of carbon material blade structures, tightly arranged spirally inside the spherical shell, leaving only nano-scale gaps between the layers.

If it weren?t for the special lens, such an amazing shape would not have been observed.

Although at first glance they looked plain and unremarkable, no different from ordinary double-layer graphene, but when Lu Zhou continued to adjust the probe and did a few more data collections on it, he quickly discovered that there was a hidden mystery in it!

On the seemingly smooth double-layer graphene surfaces, the delocalized large ? bonds between each carbon hexagon and the bond energy of the chemical bonds were slightly different.

Although this difference was not great, it was particularly conspicuous in Lu Zhou?s eyes.

Lu Zhou immediately ordered, ?Xiao Ai, connect the big ? bonds with similar bond energies and present them to me in the form of a two-dimensional image.?

?Yes, Master! (??????)???

The cone-shaped holographic beam transformed in the air. An azure blue hexagonal grid plane quickly appeared in front of Lu Zhou.

Lines of different colors connected the hexagons with similar large ? bonds in series. Lu Zhou stared at the intricate image for a long time. Suddenly, there was a faint expression on his face.

Perhaps Xiao Ai noticed the expression on Lu Zhou?s face. Xiao Ai, who was flying next to him, landed on his shoulder curiously and asked, ?Master, do you see anything? (?????)?

?Hmm… Sort of.?

After nodding, Lu Zhou thought for a moment. He continued speaking solemnly, ?If my guess is correct…

?These double-layer graphenes should be circuit boards.?

Xiao Ai: ?Huh? Isn?t that obvious? ????

?It is, but… The key point is how they realized this special integrated circuit.? Lu Zhou continued after a pause, ?The traditional printed circuit method is obviously not feasible. If my guess is correct… They should have adjusted the chemical bonds.?

This integrated circuit was no longer the traditional kind of integrated circuit board.

On its surface, there were no circuit lines that could be seen by the naked eye. Instead, a special technology was used to surgically modify the delocalized large ? bond so that the free electrons on the graphene surface could pass in a specific trajectory on the grid surface.

?They modified the chemical bond. The connection formed by the macroscopic movement of the electron is the abstract circuit of the entire circuit board. Although there are no wires, it achieves the same effect.

?Hm, it?s hard to imagine how they did it.?

Regardless of how thin the circuit lines on the circuit board were, there were always limits.

Ignoring the quantum tunneling effect, the theoretical limit of integrated circuit density for PCBs based on copper wires was restricted by the diameter of copper atoms. For the next-generation circuit boards based on graphene materials, the theoretical density of the circuit was also a limitation, which was restricted by the diagonal length of the carbon hexagon.

The wire could not be wider than the diagonal of a single carbon six grid.

However, this technology was outside of the traditional circuit frame.

They took advantage of certain physical and chemical properties in chemical bonds that humans did not understand for the time being. On that carbon hexagonal plane, they drew strips that allowed electrons to pass through at a specific direction and angle, forming a high-speed channel.

Lu Zhou couldn?t think of how the Calan civilization did such an amazing thing.

Just like how the Calan civilization couldn?t understand how The Observer civilization made a quark star that transcended the concept of molecules and jumped continuously around the universe.

The technological gap between the two parties was the difference between a star and the Pangu fusion reactor. Even though they were both using nuclear fusion, the two were not on the same level.

However, for inspiration, this clue was still quite valuable.

Lu Zhou felt like a door to a new world was pushed open in his head.

Before pushing the door open, he thought that the wires on the circuit board were all visible ?open wires?.

But now he discovered a new type of integrated circuit boards.

?These guys… really mastered materials science.?

Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head. He turned off the scanning equipment.

Today?s experiment was quite satisfactory to him; it could even be described as a fruitful harvest.

Lu Zhou quietly waited for the gamma value in the lead shell container to return to normal. He then put on protective gloves and carefully took the orange sphere out of the lead shell.

Just when Lu Zhou had just backed up the experimental data and cleaned up the laboratory, Xiao Ai, who was floating next to him, suddenly spoke.

?Master, there seems to be someone looking for you outside! (??????)???

?Looking for me??

Lu Zhou frowned slightly as he asked, ?Who is that??

?There are a lot of people at the door… Xiao Ai doesn?t know who they are, Xiao Ai will show you.?

After that, a holographic window popped up on the blue holographic panel.

When Lu Zhou saw a crowd stand in front of the door, he was stunned.

It made sense that President Cai Mingrui and the dean of the Institute of Computational Materials were here, so did the computational materials scientists who wanted to join in on the excitement.

But the chairman of the Pan-Asian Cooperation was here as well…

What is going on?
