Chapter 339: Digging
"Can I take a picture of you?
You know, it's so hard to come across, I want to keep it as a collection, and NASA needs to keep an archive as well. Nichole smiled, and without waiting for Han Xuan to agree, she excitedly ran to the helicopter to get the camera.
Where is this taking pictures, it is simply carving herself on the pillar of shame, Han Xuan stiffly squeezed out a smile, and waited for her to pout aggrievedly after she finished shooting.
Director Robbie glanced at Mars, who understood and patted Nichole on the shoulder, "Let's go collect meteorite fragments, the site will be destroyed after the meteorite is dug up, and it will be difficult to find it then." ”
"Well, okay, gloves on. ”
Seeing that his daughter was gone, old Robbie calmed down a little, there is such a traitor, and there are a lot of bad things today.
Forced to suppress the impatience in his heart, he understood the approximate volume of this meteorite, but the other party probably didn't know, if he waited to dig it out and talk, the headquarters would not be able to pay that shocking figure anyway, according to the current meteorite price in the market, it would be at least more than 100 million US dollars, and the large pieces were not easy to sell, but the other party could break them and sell small pieces!
"Mr. Han, if you are not satisfied with the price just now, I can pay six million dollars, the budget allocated by the Ministry of Finance to NASA is not high, this money is the limit, it is useless for you to keep it, right, it is better to sell it to us." ”
"You misunderstood, I'm really not short of money. ”
Father Han didn't know what to say, he couldn't tell him directly how much money his family had, the old man's fame was not small in Montana, but the other party didn't know him, which was very distressing.
Robbie thought he was opening his mouth in the lion, but when he saw that the cowboys were also full of nonchalance, he pointed to the crater and muttered, wondering when money was so unattractive.
Old Patton relieved the siege and said: "You don't know our boss?
Reminded of this, the two GIs turned their brains. The eyes of the father and son were instantly hot, especially this boy, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was the Chinese child in the hot news some time ago.
Seeing that Robbie was still confused, he leaned into his ear and said, "California SOS Group knows, the new billionaire family ......"
Old Robbie's eyes widened instantly, and he didn't know much about doing research all day. And not stupid, he has heard about this supermarket group, and he often goes to SOS convenience stores to buy things by himself.
The next moment, I realized that the idea of wanting to buy a meteorite was frustrated, and people really did not lack this money.
Secretly scolded that it was not good for the meteorite to fall in someone's house, but it fell here, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I know, but can you lend it to us for a period of time?" Very helpful for research. ”
"Bring it back to study?" Han Xuan asked him.
"Yes. ”
The father and son looked at each other, a little resistant to this approach.
The meteorite can be said to be its own in the pasture, and whoever takes it away still admits it, and everyone knows the urine nature of the federal government department.
A farmer in Utah found several dinosaur fossils in the 40s, which were borrowed by the Museum of Natural History for 50 years and not returned, and in the end he directly said that he was stolen on the way, and his grandson sued the American Museum of Natural History to recover it, and later the court found that the Museum was negligent. Only $10,000 was awarded.
Han Xuan estimated that the other party would not dare to play this trick on his own family, but it was still possible to borrow it for more than ten or twenty years. Shake your head and refuse him.
"You can have people come here to study, it can't be too long, we can arrange room and board and workplaces, and bring the equipment everywhere, right, sir. ”
Director Robbie choked. This sentence blocked the back road, and it couldn't be said that it had to be brought back for research, thinking that I had to contact the headquarters and let them find a way, and said in my mouth: "Now the meteorite is underground." It is easy to be polluted by the surrounding environment when it comes into contact with the earth, and I think the terrain here is relatively low, and when it rains, there will be water flowing over, what do you think about digging it out first?"
"Dig it, will this crater be destroyed?"
"We've done a few excavations before, and we're very experienced in how to do it, but there are only a few craters in the world, and most of them have disappeared over time and through geological changes.
We'll take a picture first, and then restore it then, don't worry, Mr. Han. ”
"Okay, construction is going on on on the west side of the ranch, excavators, cranes, etc., I'll have someone deliver whatever you need. Han Xuan looked at the deep hole in the middle of the crater, curious about the thing inside.
"Let go of me!
"If you dare to speak like that, I'll break your hand, boy!" said Gabriel, holding the man and twisting his arm, emerged from behind a small hill.
The other party kept scolding, he increased his strength, and the young man in his twenties screamed in pain.
"What's wrong?, who is he?" asked Han Xuan.
"I don't know, I found him lying on his stomach in the grass on that hillside, not like a man from our ranch. ”
"Definitely not. Old Patton looked at him carefully, "I've seen all the people in the ranch, and I don't have an impression of him. ”?? Gabriel increased his strength again, and his eyes were not good: "What are you doing here, tell me." ”
"Reporter! I'm a reporter from Helena's local newspaper! I'm done! I'm going to sue you for personal assault!" the man shouted with sweat in pain.
"Sue what? If you trespass on private territory, I'll see which court will accept it. Father Han's tone was disgusted, he had been annoyed by these guys recently, and his attitude was so arrogant, he really didn't have a good impression at all.
"I guess it's for the meteorite again, take him out. ”
"Okay boss, I'll ask again, he just said it, but he can't get a press card. ”
"It hurts, it hurts! In the car, I just came to the internship and forgot to bring it!"
Gabriel escorted him away, and Evans Cowboy said, "It's been a few groups in the morning, can't you see so many signs at the ranch border......?"
Han Xuan saw Nichole and the others lying on the edge of the cave with a lamp, and went down carefully to the center of the crater, and his father also followed.
Old Barton stared at them intently, afraid that he would take things away, especially when he heard about the price of meteorites just now, a small stone was worth more than gold, and the expression on his face was more serious.
The entrance of the deep pit is more than three meters old, the shape is irregular, the sky is just bright, the light is not strong, Han Xuan took off the cow's hat and probed his brain to look inside.
The flashlight light shone several meters, and it was still pitch black below, and it took two breaths to hear the echo after touching a clod of dirt.
"The depth is almost twenty meters, it's terrifying, the meteorite fell at a speed of fifteen kilometers per second, more than ten times faster than a bullet!" Nichole muttered to herself, raised her head and asked Han Xuan: "I saw a house in the east just now, is that your house?"
"Of course there is, like a big fireball, and there is a loud noise, and we have a party in the yard to watch a meteor, and when it hits the ground, it is like an earthquake......" (To be continued.) )
