I handed over to another world

Chapter 503 Meteor
Chen Lin met the group of people who came to greet him warmly. The director of the observatory shook hands with Chen Lin excitedly and personally led Chen Lin back.

In fact, Chen Lin had already arrived at the place at around six o'clock, but the staff did not let the people who came to greet him get on the bus. Instead, they drove them all back.

The reason was very simple. Chen Lin was busy all day and was very tired. He took a short rest in the car. The assistant and others did not want anyone to disturb Chen Lin at this time.

As soon as the reason was given, everyone immediately understood the situation. The director took a look at the time. There were still more than four hours left before the meteor shower they estimated would occur. The meteor shower would not appear until around 10:30 p.m., so there was plenty of time. Therefore, the director of the observatory agreed with the assistant's decision without any objection.

This sleep allowed Chen Lin to rest.

At this time, Chen Lin was walking in front with the director in high spirits, followed by various staff members and guards of Anyun Base and staff members of Anyun Observatory in Tianlang Mountain.

"This meteor shower was named by the outpost, called Galaxy. We actually observed the existence of this meteor very early. After we first came to the origin star and established our foothold, the astronomy team that came with the scientific research team detected this meteor through equipment. After that, they set up facilities on the entire Stuttgart continent many times, and finally basically figured out the specific movement trajectory of the meteor."

The director introduced Chen Lin with a smile on his face: "The most fortunate thing is that when the meteor finally landed on the origin star, Taka Continent was an excellent viewing area. The main landing position of the meteor was basically in the west... right there."

He pointed in the direction for Chen Lin, who nodded slightly and asked, "What time is it?"

"According to the time, it should be around 10:40 tonight."

After the director finished speaking, he quickly said to Chen Lin: "Let's go eat first, Mr. Chen? I heard that you haven't eaten since you came from Anyun Base."

"I'm a little hungry."

Chen Lin nodded with a smile, "I've heard that there are some special delicacies at the observatory before, I wonder if I can see them today."

The director quickly said that there was no problem. A kind of fern was discovered on this mountain before. It tasted delicious after being simply blanched in water. It tasted very good both when eaten cold or stir-fried. Although Chen Lin didn't care much about many things, and even delegated most of the work at Anyun Base on a large scale, he paid great attention to eating. Chen Lin was always aware of the newly discovered edible vegetation.

After dinner, Chen Lin and everyone else went to the top floor of the observatory ahead of time. The staff of Anyun Observatory had already prepared all kinds of equipment needed for viewing. The top was not directly open to the sky, and thick transparent glass formed a special protective cover for the top floor of the observatory.

Chen Lin talked with the observatory staff with great interest. He himself only had a superficial understanding of a lot of astronomical knowledge, so most of the time he would take the lead and listen to a group of professionals talk, and he didn't find it boring.

"Mr. Chen,"

The director took advantage of the fact that the staff were discussing the possible conditions on the surface of a certain planet and came to Chen Lin.

"What's up, Director Li?"

Chen Lin looked at Director Li with a smile. After the middle-aged man came over, he couldn't wait to speak to Chen Lin: "I heard a few days ago that our Anyun Base is carrying out the so-called Star Gate Project, and the key point is that it was successful."

"It does happen."

Chen Lin nodded. Director Li started working here just before Ding Yi started working on the Star Gate Base. He had been running around the Taka Continent for several months doing astronomical observation work, so it was normal that he didn't know many things about Anyun Base.

"It turned out to be true!"

Director Li's face was full of excitement. He spoke quickly, "What stage has the Stargate project reached now? I heard that the base of the previous research has been successful. Isn't the next step to build the main body of the Stargate? At that time, can we use the Stargate to transmit to another galaxy, or directly rely on the Stargate for inter-galactic transmission? In this way, some of my guesses can be investigated on the spot..."

Chen Lin didn't expect that Director Li was such an enthusiastic researcher. He immediately laughed and said, "You have to eat one bite at a time, my Director Li!"

"The Stargate Project chaired by Professor Ding is a very large super project team that covers almost all fields of the entire scientific community. The Stargate Base Project took them nearly four months in total, mobilizing more than 10,000 scientific researchers and more than 30,000 logistics staff. The entire Anyun Base invested more than 10 billion yuan to support their work..."

He patiently explained to the director in front of him, "The Star Gate is currently only in the early stages, and the completion of the base does not mean that the Star Gate will be put into use soon. We still need a lot of scientific research and supporting facilities to meet the standards before we can truly open the Star Gate. This process may not be achieved in a few years."

Director Li didn't expect it to be so complicated. He thought the design of the star gate was like in science fiction novels or TV dramas, where a certain door is opened and then one can use it to travel through time and space...

"That's the phase portal you're talking about."

Chen Lin directly pointed out what Director Li had envisioned, and said with a smile: "The association has studied this technology very thoroughly, but it has not been used on a large scale yet. It is mainly used on Blue Star."

"If you have any ideas, I can help you apply for permission to use the phase portal, and then you can test it or something."

"Is it really possible, Mr. Chen?"

Director Li suddenly became excited. He looked at Chen Lin with excitement and said, "I have been interested in these things for a long time. There are often plots related to teleportation portals in science fiction works. At that time, I often fantasized about it..."

"It's easy to apply, but whether it's approved or not depends on what the higher-ups say."

Chen Lin's smiling words immediately calmed the director down. He sat down on a chair not far away in a depressed mood and said, "That's probably bad enough. The requirements for this kind of thing are usually quite strict. The association will definitely not approve it."

"If it is not approved, it means the time is not right yet. Don't be so discouraged. Our current development speed is very fast. These high-tech products will soon be applied to our daily work and life. We should be more patient with things."

"A shooting star is coming!"

Just as Chen Lin finished speaking, a staff member in the distance exclaimed. Then Chen Lin looked up, but there was nothing in sight. He was confused, and the director beside him quickly explained: "The distance is still quite far. The guy who just spoke saw it with an astronomical telescope."

"There are also equipment over there, Mr. Chen."

Chen Lin did not waste any time. He stood up and walked towards another astronomical telescope. He focused his gaze on it and immediately noticed the meteors falling from the sky like a stream of fire. When he looked up, meteors had already begun to appear in large areas throughout the space.

The first meteor streaked across the night sky, leaving a bright trail of light. Then, more and more meteors began to appear. They were like fireworks in the sky, lighting up the entire night sky.

Chen Lin looked at the countless meteors that appeared in the night sky, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. He, like everyone else at the scene, was shocked by this spectacular sight. A bunch of cameras that had been set up at the scene were constantly taking pictures. This rare astronomical wonder was somewhat unique, and every photo would be precious enough in the future.

The camera recorded the beautiful trails left by the meteors in the night sky. After watching for a while, Chen Lin couldn't help but say to the people around him: "This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a spectacular meteor shower."

"Me too, Mr. Chen!"

The staff member smiled at Chen Lin and said, "Meteor showers are something you can only encounter once every 120 years. The chance of encountering one on Earth is shockingly low. 99% of the people on Earth will never see a meteor shower."

Chen Lin wanted to say something, but a staff member in front of him hurried over and excitedly reported to Director Li: "Director, our detection equipment has captured the actual landing trajectory of some meteors! They fell in the nearby mountains!"

Director Li immediately jumped up and made a quick decision: "We must act immediately. If we are late, we won't even be able to drink the soup... Mr. Chen, do you want to join us?"

"Then I must go!"

Chen Lin immediately stood up and said with a smile: "It would be a waste if we don't seize this opportunity. I also want to see what the falling meteor shower looks like."

"Xiao Wu, prepare the vehicle. We will go to the landing area with Director Li and the others!"

"understand!"

At this time, no one was concerned about continuing to watch the meteor shower. Chen Lin and others acted quickly. The team followed Director Li's vehicle and drove directly out of the observatory, rushing towards the coordinates displayed on the equipment.

In the darkness of night, Chen Lin and other scientific researchers sat in the car. Outside the car window was the deep night sky and winding mountain roads. Their convoy traveled through the night, heading in the direction indicated by the detection equipment. Chen Lin felt extremely comfortable.

The destination was not far from the observatory, and the vehicle arrived there after driving for about 20 minutes. Chen Lin's guards had already gotten out of the car fully armed and were on guard. The security personnel at the observatory also formed a guard team.

A group of observatory staff quickly launched a search. Holding searchlights and scientific instruments, they searched for the possible landing site of the meteor in the mountainous area. Everyone could not hide their excitement. Meteors were even different from discovered planets. Most of these things came from other galaxies and might contain a large amount of matter that had never been encountered before. Every search was like opening a blind box.

The group conducted a carpet search of the entire area and eventually found traces of a falling meteor in a valley. Following the clues, they finally found the fragments of the fallen meteor.

A group of scientific researchers on site excitedly began to collect samples and record data. Of course, they had already completed radiation and other related tests in advance to confirm that there was no danger.

The staff carefully collected the meteor fragments with special tools. Every piece here could be a mysterious substance, and no one wanted such a small thing to be wasted.

A group of people also recorded the environmental data of the landing site, including information on soil, vegetation and climate, to facilitate testing after returning.

Chen Lin couldn't help much, but he still saw the color of the meteorite that fell in the outer area. It was actually a green stone.

It looked to be several meters in diameter. Such a large meteorite had blasted the soil underneath into glass. The high temperature and impact turned the area into a sea of ​​fire. Most of the people relied on this to find their way here.

"Why isn't this thing this color when it's in the sky?"

"Mr. Chen is such a joke. These things are burning in the sky, so of course they don't show any color."

The director was sweating profusely at this time. He directed the personnel on the scene to collect samples from the green meteorite. After the collection was completed, the director waved his hand and signaled everyone to return to the observatory quickly.

Most of the meteorite samples here will be taken over by professionals. Chen Lin knows very well who those people are - the scientific research department of Anyun Base.

The observatory can only collect a small portion of the samples and send them to the laboratory for analysis, which is allowed in principle.

This time, Chen Lin did not return with the people from the observatory. They waited here for a while, and soon the scientific research spacecraft from Anyun Base appeared in their sight with a roar.

The scientific research department responsible for the research of extraterrestrial meteorites has arrived. After everyone came down, they realized that Chen Lin, the head of the base, was also there. A group of people hurriedly greeted Chen Lin, but the work that needed to be done still had to be done. A group of people quickly cordoned off the scene, and then several people wearing protective clothing walked directly into the core area of ​​the meteorite fall and began a new round of testing and collection...

Various types of equipment were carried out from the spacecraft, and Chen Lin watched the group of researchers use various instruments to test the samples.

These tests include spectral analysis, chemical composition analysis, isotope determination, etc. A group of people obviously hope to understand the structure, composition and cosmic origin of meteors.

"Mr. Chen, why are you here?"

The head of the scientific research department also came this time. After he finished his work on the spacecraft, he hurried over to Chen Lin to say hello, "The meteorite may have radiation or toxins. You'd better not stay here rashly."

"But I saw that those people at the observatory took some samples back..."

Chen Lin spoke up, and the person in charge showed a trace of helplessness on his face: "We can't do anything about those crazy people who do astronomy. Some of the characteristics of these meteorite samples are still unclear. Radiation is a small matter. If a leak is detected and causes them to have health problems, the situation will be complicated."

"We didn't dare come too quickly, so as not to force them to rush and collect samples without doing any tests..."

Chen Lin nodded in agreement and patted the person in charge on the shoulder: "You did a good job. You considered it quite comprehensively."

"I will issue a document after I go back. Next time, you can do similar work together. It can be regarded as departmental cooperation."

"Is this... appropriate?"

"Ok, deal."

"Okay, I understand, Mr. Chen."
