Chapter Fifty-Eight: Another Meteorite!

Bow and thank you "Amateur & Learn" for a generous tip!

It's Monday today.,Xiaomo is here to ask for a recommendation ticket.,Next week Xiaomo is still naked. Ben, Mu You's recommended days are not good, and you have to rely on the support of the big guys!

Such a large lunar meteorite is not the largest among the lunar meteorites that have been discovered, you must know that in 1979, when human beings first discovered lunar meteorites at the South Pole, a total of more than 20 pieces were found, with a total weight of 8 kilograms, and the largest lunar meteorite that has been discovered in the world is only 1814 grams.

But even if this lunar meteorite, which weighs about half a kilogram, is auctioned at this time, especially in China, the conservative starting price is estimated to be more than 8 million yuan, and as for the final transaction price, it can definitely reach eight figures!

In other words, Tang Feng and Sophia spent one morning picking up more than 10 million yuan worth of stones from the Australian wasteland!

"Hey, what are you doing down here? Hurry up, I want to go back. Sophia's shout woke Tang Feng from his daze, Tang Feng smiled and shook the little guy suspected to be a lunar meteorite with his hand, and put it in his backpack casually.

However, when Tang Feng was about to climb up, at a glance, he found that not far from the discovery of the stone meteorite, a dark red stone was lying there quietly.

Tang Feng's heart was shocked, and the feeling that disappeared just now because of the discovery of the stone meteorite came to his heart again, so Tang Feng simply stopped climbing up and said loudly to Sophia: "You wait for me for a while, three minutes at most, I want to bring a few rock samples back." ”

Sophia at the top of the pit waved her hand at Tang Feng, and Tang Feng turned around and walked towards the stone.

Compared with the stone meteorite, this dark red stone is about the same size, but once you start it, the weight is several times that of the stone meteorite, and Tang Feng estimates that it must weigh at least three or four kilograms. Needless to say, this little guy who looks like a stone should be an iron meteorite. Because the surface of this little guy also has a layer of black opaque melt shell, although it has also been weathered a lot, it can still be distinguished.

"This iron meteorite can be together with a lunar meteorite, what is the situation that can occur? Could it be that this little guy is a Martian meteorite? Weighing the dark red meteorite in his hand, Tang Feng muttered in his heart.

The Martian meteorite is similar to other meteorites and does not have the same distinct features as lunar meteorites, but it is certain that this iron meteorite is certainly not a lunar meteorite, as it does not have the basic characteristics of a lunar meteorite. And the reason why Tang Feng had the idea that this iron meteorite might be a Martian meteorite was mainly because of the lunar meteorite that was discovered just now.

Although Mars also has an atmosphere, the density of the atmosphere on Mars is less than one percent of that of the Earth's, so Mars is often attacked by large meteorites.

Like the source of lunar meteorites, after Mars is attacked by large meteorites, rock fragments will fly out of Mars, and some of the fragments will be captured by Earth's gravity and then fall towards Earth, which is the source of Martian meteorites.

Of course, these Martian rock fragments that fall away from the gravitational pull of Mars and fall to the Earth may meet the beautiful moon sister on the way, but these short-tempered guys from Mars do not have the good character of pity, they will hit everything that stands in their way, so there will be a lot of Martian rock fragments hitting the moon. And if a Martian rock fragment with a large enough volume hits the moon, it will definitely trigger the creation of a lunar meteorite, but this impact will not only produce a lunar meteorite, but also have a high probability that the Martian rock fragment that hit the moon will also become a Martian meteorite.

And because this Martian meteorite is produced together with the lunar meteorite, there is a high probability that it will fall in the same position on the earth's surface. In Antarctica, this has been found several times.

And in this crater in the Nullarbor Plain in Australia, there were two completely different meteorites, which naturally made Tang Feng have such an idea.

However, whether it is a lunar meteorite meteorite or a Martian meteorite, it needs to be identified by a professional organization before it can obtain its due status, for example, the two meteorites discovered by Tang Feng, if they have not been identified and named by the International Meteorite Association, then even if these two meteorites are really meteorites, then their prices are definitely not high.

And only after the identification and naming of the International Meteorite Association, these two meteorites will reflect their due value!

For such an unexpected discovery, Tang Feng was very satisfied, at least there was no white diamond in the tunnel after drilling all morning, and only these two meteorites were enough to drill the tunnel this time!

happily threw this iron meteorite and the meteorite suspected of being a moonstone meteorite into the star core space when Sophia was not paying attention, these two little guys are too valuable, and it is a little unsafe to put in a backpack, and the iron meteorite is heavy, Tang Feng is afraid of an accident so he did it.

Then Tang Feng pretended to pick up two ordinary stones from the ground and put them in his backpack, and then climbed up from the bottom of the pit in two times.

"Did you find anything good?" Sophia asked.

"It's just two stones, and I suspect this sinkhole should be a crater, so I found two stones and went back to test them. You know, in our business, we have the greatest love for stones and everything! Tang Feng replied with a smile.

"Then you're satisfied! I really don't know if we're here to explore the tunnel, or if we're digging rocks all the way here! Sophia complained.

"Okay, can I treat you to a big dinner in the evening? Treat yourself to it! ”

"Then you'll have to talk!" As soon as she heard that a big meal was served, Sophia immediately smiled.

When she went back, Sophia had no intention of drilling tunnels again, and spent almost all the morning in the tunnels, even if Sophia was interested in this kind of underground tunnel, she was already bored at this time. As for Tang Feng, there are still two "extraterrestrial stones" in the star core space, and Tang Feng is even more reluctant to drill tunnels. So the two of them discussed, and with a 100% pass rate, they always agreed to go back to the ground.

However, it was easy to climb directly from the crater to the ground, and the two of them climbed up without much effort, Tang Feng used the GPS on his mobile phone to set the location, and then walked with Sophia in the direction of the big sinkhole.

Tang Feng found out that he and Sophia had unknowingly drilled out of the ground for a distance of almost five kilometers, and they couldn't feel anything underground, but when they got to the ground, they realized that they had drilled out so far underground.

The ground is much better than the underground, except for the sun above you and the temperature is a little hotter, everything else is better than the underground tunnel. After a five-kilometer journey, the two of them walked briskly for almost an hour before they came to the location of the big sinkhole where they parked.
