Chapter 470: Meteoric Iron

Chapter 470: Meteorite

"Prison?! Brother Childe, you're not kidding, are you? Dazhe said.

"Absolutely not, the terrain below presents a hollow word, the middle part is closed, but the edge is surrounded by a number of small spaces, to be precise, a cage, there are still a lot of corpses in it, and the cage where this one is located is damaged, plus this one does have some characteristics, so I dragged it up." Yun Ximing said.

"Young Master of the Yun family, do you mean that there are many such dried corpses down here?" Uncle Lu asked.

"It's not a dry corpse, it's a corpse, some of them should be other ways to die, the body has already decomposed, only this one is just shriveled." Yun Ximing said.

"So, there's a prison buried under our ground?" Dazhe said.

"Yin Yin, what should we do now? To be down or not to be down? Uncle Lu asked.

"Yin Yin, I think, we have to be cautious in everything, you think, we are studying ancient tombs ourselves, but you don't even let go of prison, this is really a bit unreasonable." Dazhe said.

"Archaeologists don't distinguish between tombs and prisons, and as long as there is a need for our project, I should go to the top." At this time, Uncle Lu's pedantic side was reflected.

"Don't make a noise yet, come and see, there's something wrong with this chain." Yun Ximing said, "Why does this look so much like meteoric iron?" ”

"Meteorite? The kind that fell from the sky? Brother Childe, don't tell me what kind of prison was built by aliens to rule the earth? Dazhe said.

"Hey. Fatty, yes, there is growth, even the meteorite knows it. Yun Xian said.

"What falls from the sky is called a meteorite, but meteorite is not exactly a meteorite, a meteorite is another type of falling star, a material that comes from outside the earth. Meteorites with a large amount of stone are called meteorites, and meteorites with a large amount of iron are called meteorites. Meteorites come in a variety of shapes, and the largest meteorite currently in existence in the world is the Goba meteorite from Namibia. Weighs about 60 tons. Yun Ximing said.

"60 tons? Slammed on the ground. That's got to be a big hole. Dazhe said.

"According to the different chemical composition of the meteorite itself, it can be roughly divided into three types, one is called iron meteorite, also called meteorite. Its main components are iron and nickel. The iron content is generally above 98%. The nickel content is between 4%~20%, so it is easy to identify. Because there is no other ore on earth that can provide such a high content and uniform composition of nickel through direct smelting. The second type is called stony meteorites, which are meteorites. The main component is silicate, and such meteorites are the most abundant. And the iron chain in front of us is indeed the third kind, called stony iron meteorite, also called meteorite, this kind of meteorite is less, of which iron-nickel and silicate account for roughly half. Yun Ximing said.

"No, Brother Childe, is there anything rare about this thing? Isn't it just a piece of iron? What falls from the sky is different? Dazhe asked.

"Of course it is different, the early human smelting technology was not developed, and iron could not be obtained from iron ore smelting, and there is almost no elemental iron in the earth's nature, so meteorite was once the only source of iron, and some people have excavated iron beads and daggers in the Nile River basin and the Euphrates River basin more than 4,000 years ago, which were processed from meteorite iron. It can be said that the earliest iron used by human beings was meteoric iron. Until modern times, Malayklux swords in the Malay Archipelago were still made of meteoric iron. The Malays like to use meteoric iron, firstly because of the lack of iron ore in the Malay Archipelago and the poor iron-smelting process, and secondly, because the meteorite iron contains nickel, which can enhance the strength of the blade. There have also been iron meteorites in China, the weight of this iron meteorite is estimated to be more than 25 tons, and it may exceed 30 tons, the shape and appearance are exquisite and abnormal, and the scientific research value is extremely high, which can be described as another extremely precious cosmic specimen found on the earth. The hardness of meteorite iron is extremely high, and after a few pulls on it, the sawtooth disappears. So in the era of cold weapons, meteorite iron was very popular. Yun Ximing said.

"Oh my God, that's amazing, but... What does this broken chain mean? It's just that the material is a little special, and it doesn't seem to be anything. Yun Xian asked.

"Of course, it can tell the question, what age is it, and who can forge meteoric iron? Doesn't that tell the story? The reason why I'm interested in this chain is because when I was at the bottom of the pit, I saw that the cages were made of this kind of material, and you think about how many of them were. Yun Ximing said.

"I still don't understand...", Min Lan didn't understand.

"It means that we have encountered an unusual being." I say.

"Leader, what should I do now without saying anything else?" Before Uncle Lu could finish speaking, we suddenly remembered the ringing of the phone around us.

"Who's ringing?" Yun Ning asked.

"Mine." Uncle Lu replied in a muffled voice, this is a strange thing, since the relationship between Uncle Lu and Sister Wang Na was semi-public, Uncle Lu's mobile phone has become Sister Wang Na's special line, even I haven't called much, and it will ring at this time.

"Lao Lu, what kind of mobile phone are you using? I don't have a cell phone signal in the mountains. Dazhe said, I took out my phone and looked at it, and it did show no service.

"I'm this... "Uncle Lu said, "It's Minister Yuan who called, Yin Yin, you can take it, I guess I'm looking for you." Uncle Lu handed over the phone.

"Hello? Minister, I am Kui Yinyin. I picked up the phone.

"Thank God, you people, finally one of you people can get through on the phone, let you go to investigate Bayun Village, you guys are going to outer space?" Yuan Ru said.

"We have indeed arrived in Bayun Village, but the building is empty, didn't the county leaders explain the situation here to you? There wasn't even a guide, so we had to figure it out on our own. I complained.

"I really can't blame me, in order to keep a low profile, I didn't reveal our identities, only let the county think it was a scientific research worker above, if it wasn't for my secretary who called the county just now, I'm afraid I haven't seen the county magistrate yet, it's good now, I'm blocked in the hospital, I'm waiting to pick me up at night, I'm down to do practical things, it's good now, I'm blocked in the women's bathroom of the hospital to call you." Yuan Ru was also full of complaints.

"Okay, good, minister, you have worked hard, can you do it, what's the matter with the call? By the way, I just let that Dr. Jiang have already gone down the mountain, didn't he arrive at the hospital? Didn't tell you about our situation? I asked.

"I guess I haven't arrived yet, and the distance from here to your Bayun Village is not close, besides, now the county magistrate and the secretary of the county party committee are all around the door, do you think he can see me as a doctor?" Calling you, of course, is to ask if you have found anything? Yuan Ru asked.

"How can I say it, I also told you about Bayun Village, the building has been emptied, it is said that this village is a tourist attraction, and the villagers have other residences elsewhere, and they are also scattered, and the current situation seems that they are unlikely to know any clues, and if they know, it is impossible to see so many things happen." I say.

"That's right, the county has actually visited all the villagers, and even the tourists who come here for temporary tourism have been investigated, and nothing has been found, so it is very likely that the villagers did not know. Then you went to the mountains again? Yuan Ru asked.

"What do you say..."I glanced at Lao Zuo, who was helping Uncle Lu and Yun Ximing continue to clean up the surrounding area of the big pit, trying to make the entrance bigger. We met a villager, from a neighboring village, and he gave us some clues, so we went into the mountains to have a look. I said.

"What kind of clues? Is it related to Progeria? Yuan Ru asked.

"It's not clear what it has to do with Progeria, but it's suspicious, and we've found a building, which could be a tomb, an underground prison, or both." I say.

"And such a strange building? But I'm used to you saying weird things all the time. Yuan Ru said.

"What's even more bizarre is that the fence inside this prison, as well as the iron chain at the entrance, are made of meteoric iron, which is very rare." I say.

"Meteoric iron?! The meteorite came from outer space, could it be that the meteorite belt had some radiation, which caused the nearby villagers to get a strange disease? Yuan Ru guessed.

"At present, this possibility can be ruled out, and if it is radiation, then the scientists and scientific researchers who came here to investigate before will definitely be able to investigate it. At present, the people who are confirmed to be sick and dead are all Lan Indiyao's people, right? I asked.

"It's true, and we've found out about the problem, and hospital experts are looking into whether it's a genetic mutation caused by a genetic disease." Yuan Ru said.

"It's possible, it's also a curse, a curse inherited through blood." I say.

"What do you think has something to do with the tomb you found?" Yuan Ru asked.

"It's not for sure, but it's worth looking it up." I said, "What about you?" How's it going in the hospital? Do you have any work instructions from your superiors? I asked.

"That's why I'm in a hurry to call you, I have to know the progress of your side, you can let go of the investigation now, don't have any scruples, go back and ask Wang Na to go to a place with a signal, tell me your location and the materials you need, and I will send someone to send it to you." Yuan Ru said.

"Thank you, Minister, for your trust." I said happily.

"Yin Yin, I don't know how to explain this feeling, from the time I received the report of this matter, I vaguely felt this feeling, this matter can only be settled by you." Yuan Ru said.

"I don't think it's appropriate for you to praise me like this, minister." I said, "By the way, you haven't said yet, how is the patient?" ”

"You must not have imagined, this is a miracle, it is controlled, the disease is under control, from the afternoon until now, there is not a single patient who has died." Yuan Ru said happily. (To be continued.) )
