Seeing that Dad and they were about to drive away, Han Xuan didn't bother to brush his teeth and wash his face, and brought toothpaste and toothbrushes, the place where he was hit last night was a little swollen, and he limped when he walked downstairs.

After saying a few words to deal with the mother who had just left the room, he went out with a bottle of mineral water and beckoned to stop the Humvee.

Looking his son up and down, he was dressed in a cow-patterned one-piece pajamas, with two sharp horns on his cow head hat, holding the washing things in his hand, sleepy-eyed.

"Whose cow has escaped, Evans, grab him and take him to milk." ”

"Cut, then you're a cow too. Han Xuan pulled the door, was locked up, knocked on the window to let him open, sat in the co-pilot, turned his head and said, "Good morning, Mr. Evans." ”

"You too, good morning. Cowboy Evans then said, "What are the people from the army looking for meteorites?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely not their responsibility, it's NASA who is in charge of these space projects, I guess they asked for it, the location of the meteorite is very uncertain, and they don't have enough manpower. ”

Han Xuan easily guessed the reason, squeezed the toothpaste, put the toothbrush in his mouth, and said vaguely.

I opened the window, spit out a few mouthfuls of foam from time to time, and accidentally got on the car door when I rinsed my mouth, and was seen by Evans in the back row, smiled awkwardly, and rinsed it with water.

When they reach their destination, they find two groups of people facing each other, the cowboys in the ranch on one side, and two GIs and four people in NASA white uniforms on the other.

Hearing the old cowboy shouting boss, Robbie knew that the one who could call the shots was coming, and how hot his eyes were on this crater, how bright the smile on his face was at the moment, and he was already smiling.

Stretching out his hand, he said, "Hello, sir." I'm Robbie of NASA, the director of NASA's Montana division. ”

"You're here for this meteorite. Father Han said, the pit was not clear last night, but now it is fully revealed, the crater is surrounded by mud and stones, and it is scattered hundreds of meters away. Appears in an irregular ring.

The walls of the crater were squeezed, and the earth around it formed ravines, and the crater in the middle was dark in color.

The sun was rising, and some cowboys pretended to pass by, and drove the cattle and sheep over, and the grass and mud horses also came to join in the fun, and as soon as they approached, Old Patton waved them not to come.

NASA's Nichole bent down to pick up a small rock and said a few words to the person next to her. I found that the cowboys were staring at him like hungry wolves, remembering that they were on someone else's territory and put them on the ground.

Han Xuan looked at it, the color of the stone was yellow, if it weren't for the location of the gold mine not here, there were still many bubble holes on it, and he thought that the dog's head gold had been smashed out.

When she walked away, the sun shone on the little rock. A surprising scene has appeared!

All the orifices were shining with a golden glow with a hint of red, secretly numb. Dazzling.

In addition to this piece, the same light appeared in several other places.

"What is this?"

"Meteorite, its classification is an olivine iron meteorite, very rare!

It is mainly composed of golden-yellow peridot and silver-like shiny nickel-iron, forming deep in the interior of a complete meteorite, which only appears after the meteorite dies and shatters. It is estimated to account for only 0.6% of the meteorites found so far......"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Director Robbie found that his inattentive daughter shook the situation out and coughed desperately.

Nichole couldn't help but look at him, "Got a cold?"

The people at NASA were collectively speechless.

No matter how stupid she is, she is also her own daughter, old Robbie forced a smile: "These are the fragments peeled off by the meteorite hitting the ground, and the sunlight passing through the olivine presents a visual effect similar to stained glass." Among the existing meteorites, they are the most beautiful, the research value is not large, and they are not very popular in the market. ”

"Well, you can buy a gram for about sixty dollars. ”

Full of serious looks, Nichole was afraid of curiosity about the baby's appearance and looked at her father and son in disbelief, and added: "I just bought it a few months ago, and my acquaintance gave me a discount, if someone else buys eighty dollars a gram, it may not be able to buy it, meteorite collection is just emerging, the value is seriously undervalued, and the hot market has also given birth to the profession of space meteorite hunter." ”

Robbie didn't fake a cough this time, he choked on his breath and coughed non-stop, saying that he looked like he was about to vomit blood would be believed.

Just now, she blinked her eyes countless times next to her to shut up, and her daughter only stared at the cow suit on Han Xuan's body, and asked him where he bought it, so she couldn't cover her mouth and not speak.

Seeing Han Qianshan's unfathomable smile, for the first time, he felt that it was not a good thing for his daughter to stay in the laboratory and research institute all day, and her emotional intelligence was too low.

The pit dug by his daughter, the old man knelt and had to fill it.

"In fact, the demand for olivine meteorites is not so large, and the transaction price between our scientific research institutions is at most twenty dollars a gram, and people will buy small pieces for collection, and no one wants large pieces at all." ”

"You mean you want to buy this meteorite for twenty dollars a gram?" Han Xuan asked him, and wiped his mouth after receiving a reminder from Old Patton.

I got a little foam on my hands, I dug out the front pocket of my stomach, I didn't find the paper, and I secretly wiped it on my father's pants, anyway, it would still be dirty when I went to help in those places in the cattle pen stable.

"Yes, these meteorites are of great significance to the study of the universe, and the landing design of the rocket return capsule of the Apollo program is calculated based on the simulation of the traces of the meteorite falling, and we plan to pay five million dollars to buy this meteorite, and we have picked up so much money for nothing, congratulations, sir." ”

Robbie's expression was exaggerated, and he deliberately accentuated his tone when he said five million dollars, this money was not a small amount, he came from Billings at night, and spent half an hour pondering how much he should pay if he really fell into private territory.

NASA headquarters only gave him a budget of 10 million this time, and for this reason, other departments in the United States had to save money for several months, and some unimportant research projects were directly cut to squeeze out this money.

A large meteorite that has just fallen is of great significance.

The area of the earth's oceans is much larger than that of the land, and most of the meteorites fall into the sea, nearly 20,000 meteors every year, and only more than 4,000 can fall to the ground.

"Five million? I'm sorry, Mr. Robbie, my family is not short of money, I want to dig up this meteorite and collect it myself. ”

Han's father saw his son's walking posture, and when he finished speaking, he asked him, "What's wrong with your leg?"

"I was hit by that meteorite yesterday, it's a little purple, but it's fine. Han Xuan said.

Nichole was stunned when he heard this, "Hit by a meteorite, oh my God!

Han Xuan blushed and glared, and said hatefully: "Didn't it happen once before?!"

"No, no, no, not once, in 1990 a child was also smashed, and you are the third in recorded history" (To be continued.) )
