Every day is one step closer to reality

"Judging from the color of the bolide, it is indeed possible that it is a stony meteorite." Pan Weining said.

When a meteoroid breaks into the atmosphere and burns at high temperature, the flame will have different colors due to the different metal components contained in it. The principle is like the flame color reaction of metal.

The burning of different metals may produce different colors, so some bolides are green when they streak down, and some bolides are yellow when they fall and burn, or other colors.

The bright light emitted by the bolide burning in the sky last night had no obvious color. To be honest, it was white.

A few years ago, Pan Weining and the others went to an outdoor event and saw a bolide of a similar color, and the meteorite that fell to the ground that time was a stony meteorite.

Of course, it is not absolute. You have to find it and submit it to a testing agency for testing to know the ingredients.

However, if it is really a stony meteorite, the metal detector will be of little use.

Those people who were disliked by Wen Zhiyu had already started working with their equipment.

First, preliminary work——

Strike a pose and take photos, single photos, group photos, and work photos. Take a few photos first, and then post them to friends when you have access to the Internet.

After the preliminary work was ready, they began to use the detector to detect meteorites.

“There has been no sandy weather recently, so I always feel that the photos I take don’t have the artistic conception I want.”

"I think it's pretty good. The blue sky, yellow sand, and silent desolation suit my temperament very well."

"Quick, quick! After taking the photos, get to work! Do we want to separate?"

"Don't separate too far, work in pairs and search like a carpet!"

"Hey, tell me, is that 'aliens blowing up meteorites' thing on the internet true?"

"Hey, with my many years of experience in the Internet, it's fake at first glance! How old is it? Don't try to deceive me with this kind of nonsense! The official should conduct a thorough investigation! The counterfeiters may have some ulterior motives!"

"But I think the experts are not that easy to deceive. They haven't refuted the rumors until now. This may be true!"

"I just came with you to join in the fun. I don't know what's so good about meteorites. What's the aesthetic point of spending so much money on a dark stone? I'd rather buy antiques."

"As long as it has a long history, the stones under your feet are longer than the antiques in the museum."

"Am I looking at the time of existence? What I am looking at is art civilization! What I am looking at is the meaning it represents!"

There is a debate here about whether meteorites are worth the high price.

Not far away, a few cars were parked sporadically.

These are meteorite hunters taking a break.

They looked at the people over there holding high-end detectors and wearing cool clothes.

"Who are those people?"

"He's from out of town. He looks like a kid from a rich family who came to join in the fun."

"Then don't worry about it. How about it? Did you guys find out?"

"No, I came out last night and didn't find anything."

"I found something here, but I don't know if it's a meteorite."

"Where is it? Take it out and take a look. I'll help you control your eyes."

"With your level, you still have the nerve to help me with my eyes?"

Several people were smiling and chatting.

Regarding this bolide incident, they can certainly know from their experience that no matter what the composition of the meteorite fragments dropped by the bolide is, with the blessing of mysterious events, it will be market currency no matter what time it is in the future. No matter how cold the meteorite market is, it can still be sold! Not to mention that now is the peak period of attention, and the price will never be low!

Everyone wants to find this meteorite, but everyone understands that the nature of this time is different. People from the Federal Security Bureau are watching, and people from the government are watching. If they want to sell it at a high price immediately, they have to hide it secretly and not let any news come out.

What is displayed on the surface is mostly a cover-up to confuse the public.

Therefore, even if they find that their colleagues are carrying a bag containing meteorites and there is something in the bag, they will not insist on looking at the stones inside because they understand that what is inside may not be genuine.

These people have more or less found stones that are suspected to be meteorites, but they are not sure whether they are actually fragments of this bolide. They have to go back and find someone to quietly test them to find out.

This group of meteorite hunters lowered their voices after talking and laughing. They didn't know what they were mumbling. From time to time they pointed at the young people over there. Anyway, they didn't seem to say anything good.

Suddenly, an exclamation came from the team carrying sophisticated equipment:

"There's a discovery!"

Uh-huh!

A dozen pairs of eyes glanced over.

"Let me see!"

"The detector has reacted, I don't know what it is yet."

"What does it look like? Dig it out quickly! Forget it, I'll help you dig it out!"

"Hahaha, it's a good start. I didn't expect it to happen so soon..."

"Who the hell threw this garbage?!"

"It's so immoral! It lacks great virtue! How can you litter in the desert!"

After some confusion, a piece of metal garbage that had been buried in the sand for who knows how long was indifferently thrown into the trash can.

"Forget it, don't lose heart, keep going."

"If the detector reacts, dig some to see if it reacts. Don't rush to make any noise."

After a while, another discovery was made.

I don’t know who left a metal craft here this time. It may be made of meteorites, or it may be made of imitation meteorites. It has been here for a while, and the surface has a certain degree of weathering.

The well-equipped team was startled. When not moving, they still feel a bit elite, but when they move, they look like a bunch of fools.

The excitement of the meteorite hunters during the break was much reduced. When they heard the screams over there, they would just lazily raise their eyelids.

Until someone from the other side said: "Aha, it's really a meteorite this time!"

Only then did everyone around him pay attention again.

The man who dug out a black stone was holding the stone in his hand to show off to others.

"I heard that meteorites are heavier than ordinary stones. Hey, I think this stone looks similar. Look at the lines on it. Is this one burned in the atmosphere when it fell from space?"

The man who came closer looked at the stone in his hand.

It's a black bump as big as a palm, it feels a bit heavy in the hand, and its shape and luster look similar.

His accomplice took the stone, looked at it in his hand, and said, "Then classify it as 'suspected' and take it back for testing to find out."

The man who found the stone continued to yell and asked his companions to take photos of him. At this time, the stars are holding the moon.

Wen Zhiyu looked at that proud face and was ready to share his thoughts with Pan Weining.

But he found that Pan Weining was not paying attention there.

"Da Pan, what are you thinking about?" Wen Zhiyu said.

Pan Weining raised his chin and motioned Wen Zhiyu to look in Feng Yi's direction.

"Did you forget who decided to park here?"

Wen Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and looked over.

I saw Feng Yi walking slowly somewhere not far away, as if he was identifying something.

"Wow! I made a discovery!"

Wen Zhiyu spread his legs and ran towards Feng Yi.

Feng Yi didn't pay attention to anyone else after getting out of the car. Even though the well-equipped team over there screamed and shouted from time to time, he didn't pay any attention to them.

Perhaps it was because the bolide exploded under his intervention, and the falling fragments and dust allowed Feng Yi to faintly sense the signal.

Quietly sensing the subtle signals around him, Feng Yi walked over slowly, then squatted down and fished out a pebble from under the sand.

After blowing the dust on it, Feng Yi looked at the gray-black pebble held on his fingers.

It's not big, smaller than the glass marbles that children play with. It is inconspicuous in this desert area with a lot of sand and gravel.

Wen Zhiyu stared at it and asked, "Is this it?"

Feng Yi: "I think so."

Wen Zhiyu looked surprised: "So small."

He thought the meteorites he was looking for this time were all large.

"Just one?"

"No, there's more."

As Feng Yi spoke, he picked up a black pellet the size of a mung bean from a short distance away.

Wen Zhiyu looked at him.

Feng Yi nodded.

Just as Wen Zhiyu was about to say something, a young man over there heard the noise and ran over. After seeing it clearly, he couldn't help laughing and said:

"You won't say that this thing is a meteorite, right? It's only so big that you need to use a magnifying glass to see it!"

At first, Wen Zhiyu didn't believe this stone, but when he heard someone who didn't like it say this, he became unhappy:

"What's wrong with it being small? You can't look down on it or question its identity just because it's small! Is the meteorite really real? Is it just a matter of size?"

The young man opened his mouth to fight back, but when he saw Feng Yi, he remembered something and his expression changed. Ignoring Wen Zhiyu's defensive rejection, he walked quickly to Feng Yi and looked at the two stones in Feng Yi's hand. Asked in a low voice:

"Can you turn it around?"

Feng Yi raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't turn around. If these two stones are indeed fragments of yesterday's bolide, you won't be able to trade them if you take them back. Now that the certificate cannot be issued, the testing agency will not issue you a certificate."

The man was not angry and said with a smile: "I know you, an expert from the Federal Security Bureau. We all understand your position, and we are not people who challenge laws and regulations. That's it, you pass it to me, I will take it back, and Let the testing agency test it, and if it has significant scientific research value, I will hand it over directly."

After looking at Feng Yi's expression, the man continued:

"Pan Weining should have told you that our brothers are not short of money. The method I mentioned is equivalent to, I will help you take these two stones back to the testing agency without you having to make a trip. How about it? , what’s your intention?”

Wen Zhiyu listened to the side and said happily: "I understand, you are going to take things back to show off!"

The man ignored Wen Zhiyu at all and still looked at Feng Yi: "Just pretend that you helped us find it. We gave you a thank you fee. What is this, a reward for hiring an expert? This should be in compliance with the regulations, right? Even if you tell it, don't be afraid. Is the check correct? With your ability, if you can find two, you can find four or six, so why just focus on these two. You get paid, we gain something, both of us benefit, and we are both happy!"

Pan Weining also came over at this time, pulled Wen Zhiyu and asked, "What is this person doing?"

Wen Zhiyu said: "He wanted to find Feng Yi to buy those two small stones. He made me laugh. Is he showing off in front of Feng Yi? Doesn't he know that Feng Yi buys meteorites in batches?"

Pan Weining: "Obviously, they don't know."

Wen Zhiyu complained: "Am I right? If they can't find it themselves, they will buy it from others. When they buy it, they will say proudly that they found it themselves! Doesn't this operation feel familiar? This is what the fishing guys and senior airmen do too. !”

The meteorite hunters who were some distance away also noticed the movements of Feng Yi and the others.

"Those young men shouldn't really think that those small black particles are meteorites? Are there not many such stones in the desert?"

"No, I know the guy over there, he is an expert from the Federal Security Bureau!"

The several meteorite hunters who heard this were stunned, looked at each other, quickly ran back to the car and dug out the largest bag, picked up their tools, rushed to the area where Feng Yi found the stones, and started shoveling the sand!

Several young people who had gathered together to brag about their well-equipped equipment were completely confused by the scene in front of them.

Ah this...

What they thought was meteor hunting - following the star trails, under the rolling yellow sand, walking like a wanderer in the vast desert, with sophisticated equipment, precise vision, the perfect combination of technology and experience, relentless search, and finally found the real thing and touched it. The lines of the molten shell made me sigh in my heart: Ah~ I found you!

Realistic hunting death——

"Go away! This is what I like!"

Legend has it that experienced meteorite hunters, with ferocious faces and crazy looks, swung away competitors with a shovel, and then shoveled the sand frantically.
