About the book: 1926 / A strange meteorite fell from outer space into the Pacific Ocean and sank to the bottom to a depth of 10,000 m. Two fragments from this meteorite fell to Earth. The scientist Werndt managed to discover the composition and amazing properties of a substance unknown on Earth in this meteorite, called “nihilium,” which has enormous energy. To retrieve a meteorite that fell to the bottom of the ocean, two expeditions are organized. One dies when it hits a meteorite. Under the influence of the impact, the meteorite rapidly flies upward, carrying with it the projectile with the second expedition, where the scientist Werndt was, and is carried away with it into outer space. Later, radio signals were received on Earth as if from Werndt, whose ship then disappeared without a trace. Magazine "World of Adventures"», 1926. №№ 6-9
