Episode 273 Start anew
Since Zhang Gaogong left, He Gang has not been idle for a moment, and from the moment Zhang Gaogong hurriedly returned, he was sure that there must be a drama in this matter.
Of course, he will not contact Zhang Gaogong again, such a major discovery, how can this good thing get his turn, even if he asks Zhang Gaogong, it is in vain, it is better to think of a way by himself.
From Zhang Gaogong's account, he can confirm two points, one is that this meteorite is related to the "silver camel", and the other is that it was found in Xinjiang.
Therefore, to find this boulder, you must go to Altay, Xinjiang!
As soon as he told Kowloon about his plans, Kowloon immediately agreed to go with him.
Xiao Qiao couldn't help but worry, saying that it was very chaotic over there, and safety was still important.
Kowloon doesn't take this seriously, men, they are born to take risks, not to mention that this time it's not very blind, and there is still a chance of winning.
What could Xiao Qiao say, so he had to tell him to be careful.
Altay is located in the tail feathers of the "rooster" of the Chinese territory, bordering Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Russia.
This area has a lot to do with meteorites.
China's largest existing iron meteorite (or "meteorite"), the "silver camel", comes from Altay Qinghe County.
Discovered earlier in 1898, this meteorite weighs 30 tons and is so named because of its shiny color that villagers mistook it for silver, and has two protruding parts that resemble humps.
He Gang found Mr. Xu, a local friend of Altay, told him his analysis, and asked him to find a local guide to lead the way to see if he could find the boulder.
Mr. Xu listened, his eyes lit up, he always thought that it was impossible to produce boulders in the local area except for the "silver camel", but the information brought by He Gang shocked him greatly, he didn't want to think about it, and called a local friend who specializes in transportation.
This deceased friend's name is Hailati, his hometown is Qinghe County, and he heard the legend of the "silver camel" when he was a child.
Helati later learned that the "silver camel" was actually an iron meteorite, and he became interested in meteorites and became a "friend of the meteorite".
When Helati received the call, her mind raced, who could possibly know the whereabouts of this boulder?
He thought of a person he met when he was running transportation, a galheng who specialized in buying cattle and sheep, and he specialized in running pastures, so he should know some information.
So, he tentatively called the phone, and he was really blinded that Garheng had learned from the herdsmen that there was a strange stone in the summer pasture of the Grand Canyon in Hongdun Town, Altay, which might be a meteorite.
At this time, Hailati and Garheng did not know the specific location of the meteorite, but only knew that there was a summer pasture called Akbulak more than 100 kilometers away from the city and more than 2,500 meters above sea level.
But this information is enough, in June 2011, the mainland has already entered summer, but the mountains are still snowy, and the weather is unpredictable.
The pastures are grazed by herders only from July to September every year, and the rest of the time is almost uninhabited.
He Gang, Jiulong, Mr. Xu, Hailat and Garheng went into the mountains to search.
The group went through great hardships to reach the summer pastures of Akbulak.
The weather was very bad, with occasional torrential rain and sometimes a fog that made it impossible to see clearly.
The group had no choice but to go home and return to Altay to standby.
Hairati and Garheng suddenly found He Gang, saying that it was a big matter to find the boulder, and it was best to find an expert to find it together, and with the presence of experts, the meteorite could be determined, otherwise, even if it was found, it would be in vain.
Of course, He Gang understood this truth, and he did not object.
He took the initiative to call Zhang Gaogong, a meteorite expert at the Beijing Planetarium, who was worried about this matter, and was very happy to hear the good news, so he immediately organized nine meteorite friends, including the meteorite collector Rex, to wait for the weather to be a little better and enter the mountain again.
However, the weather here is changing, and as a result of entering the mountain, it is still a torrential rain, and I have to go out of the mountain again.
When Zhang Gaogong and the others left, they only politely greeted He Gang and Jiulong, and then called Mr. Xu, Hailati, and Garheng to their side alone, and made a "gentleman's promise" to them, hoping that they would continue to search.
Zhang Gaogong told them that the meteorite may weigh 80 tons, and that there must be a heavy reward for finding the report.
Kowloon was a little unhappy when he saw this situation, obviously they were friends who went together, how could they say that they would be dumped.
Of course, perhaps Zhang Gaogong thought that He Gang and Jiulong were outsiders and could not stay in Xinjiang for a long time, so he pinned his hopes on other people.
But Kowloon has always been an adventurous person, and since he came, how could he return empty-handed.
Therefore, he quietly called He Gang over and told He Gang that looking at this frame, the two of them have been marginalized, and it is better to ask for others than for yourself, so simply go and find them yourself.
He Gang is not a fool, how could he not see Zhang Gaogong's attitude, he didn't say anything, and told the three local friends that if the weather is good, please let me know, and then we will look for it together.
Mr. Xu said yes again and again, just reminding He Gang and the others that the current weather is not suitable for looking for treasures at all, you should go home first, and then come back when the weather is good.
This is equivalent to an eviction order, this is still the kind you can't refute, He Gang sighed, and returned to the hotel where Jiulong lived.
"How about it? Zhang Gaogong's attitude has shown that he doesn't want too many people to participate in this matter, no one can say for sure the weather in this ranch, maybe tomorrow the weather will be fine, if you go home, the cost will be in vain, and when will you wait next time? It is better to wait a few more days, if the weather is fine, then go to Bo again. ”
He Gang agreed, and this stay was three days.
On the morning of the fourth day, the sky was high and cloudy, and it was a good weather to go out, He Gang got in touch with Mr. Xu for the first time, and the other party told him that he thought they were going back and were now on the way they were looking.
I said that I would say hello when the weather was good, but why did I act alone!
The more He Gang thought about it, the more angry he became, he had been playing with meteorites for several years, and he could guess where there were meteorites, so he didn't get too angry, and walked to the summer pasture in Akbulak with Jiulong.
After all, it is a place that has been to the second time, and it is very familiar, Jiulong feels that the first two times have not been found, this time it should take a different path, the location of this ranch is a glacial gravel area, granite is all over the mountains, and finding a meteorite is tantamount to finding a different material in a pile of glass balls.
Will this meteorite be obscured by these granites, or will it be buried under the granite, in short, everything is possible.
Jiulong carefully searched for the ground, and suddenly, a dazzling sunlight shot from a hundred meters away, could it be that there was a situation?
