IDing the alloy *should* just be a matter of bringing out a high powered laser to vaporize a small bit of it, get spectral lines and ID the component elements. Then some X-Ray crystallography to get an idea of structure.
That would say what it was made of and give an idea what could be done with it but not necessarily how to make it.
It could be that is what they have done.
The sample has been taken and sent off for analysis, but unless you want to flag up what you have here they may be content for it to work it’s way slowly through the channels.
Pushing for an urgent analysis may draw unwanted attention.

To let you know, the discussion you and the good Count are having is exactly what is going to be addressed in next weeks comics. 😉
They are done, they just haven’t been postworked yet 🙂
