Section 592 Meteorite Treasure Hunters
All Americans should be grateful to Chen Rui, the warning on the prophetic slate,-
Two days later, it rained in the sea near the nuclear bomb, and the FS dust adsorbed on the raindrops and landed in the sea with the rain, and the FS dust spread with the seawater, and the FS dust became less and less in the area of the nuclear explosion with the diffusion.
Just like a drop of super poison, it can still poison people when melted in a glass of water or a basin of water, but if it melts in a pond, it can't poison people, and maybe not a single fish can poison people.
A week later, the amount of FS in the seawater of the blast area was reduced to the point where it could be ignored.
On the sea, all kinds of boats, fishing boats, speedboats, yachts are moored, and it is very lively.
Many people are standing on the deck wearing diving suits, many people are carrying oxygen tanks and preparing to enter the water, on the deck, everyone talks about the harvest with great interest, and each harvest can cause a wave of envy.
These people are here to look for meteorites.
Tens of thousands of meteorite fragments have landed in this area, ranging from several tons in size to the size of a fist.
Meteorites are these exotic treasures, and the price is not cheap.
Meteorites contain a large amount of rich information about the formation and evolution of the celestial bodies of the solar system, and the experimental analysis of them is helpful to explore the mysteries of the evolution of the solar system, for example, water and a variety of organic matter have been found in some meteorites, which has become an important basis for the hypothesis of the origin of life that "life on Earth was spread by meteorites to the Earth".
Meteorites are not only extremely valuable for scientific research, but also, 'cheap'. Compared with. It's really 'good and cheap'. Imagine. The Apollo spacecraft landed on the moon, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and only collected more than 300 kilograms of samples from the surface of the moon from the front of the moon, but still could not obtain samples from the far side of the earth.
The value of meteorites is not only scientific value. And it is also highly collectible.
In the world, this kind of billion-year-old 'extraterrestrial visitor' is becoming more and more popular with collectors and the rich, for China's new rich, owning a meteorite is more indicative of their wealth and special status than driving a luxury car, wearing fashion and living in a mansion, and collectors and wealthy people care more about its collection value than its scientific value.
For them, the larger the volume of the meteorite, the better.
The tens of thousands of meteorite fragments scattered on the seabed of this sea area attract treasure hunters from all over the world. Meteorite seekers and ordinary people who want to make a fortune.
This sea area belongs to the extension of the land of the Azores, and the water is not very deep. The water depth is about 100 to 200 meters, and the maximum is not more than 300 meters, which provides the possibility of searching for meteorites.
At the current meteorite transaction price, if you find a fist-sized meteorite and hang it on the trading platform, you can easily get thousands of dollars, and if you hit the big luck and find a large meteorite weighing several tons, you will make a fortune, and you can get millions of dollars, or even tens of millions of dollars, which is much easier than looking for a shipwreck on the bottom of the sea.
Terevsky. Novsky is a very good meteorite treasure hunter, a strange profession that many people may not have heard of.
Terevsky specializes in looking for meteorites that have fallen on the Earth, some have just fallen on the Earth, and some have already fallen on the Earth for hundreds of millions of years, or even billions of years.
Terevsky would often go deep into the deserts, the South and the North Pole around the world.
It's not that meteorites prefer to land in the desert or in the South Pole or the North Pole, because these places are flat, open, and not covered by anything else, and they are easy to find, for example, if you find a stone on the Antarctic ice sheet, it basically doesn't run away, it's a meteorite.
Sometimes Terevsky will pay attention to astronomical information, as long as NASA predicts where and when there will be a meteor shower, Terevsky will rush there at the exact time, no matter where, no matter what means of transportation, generally speaking, the meteorite found in this way is called a sighting meteorite, which means that the meteorite that has been witnessed, the value of the sighted meteorite is relatively much higher than that of ordinary meteorites, moreover, the meteorite is relatively new, has not been polluted by the secondary pollution of the earth, and the scientific value is very high, therefore, the value is also relatively high.
For example, on February 15, 2013, during a meteorite rain in Yabinsk Oblast, Terevsky found two meteorites on the shore of Lake Balkuli and sold them for more than $600,000.
In addition to looking for meteorites himself, Terevsky also bought them from the locals, and whenever the locals found a meteorite, no matter how big or small, he would buy it with cash.
By making a fortune by looking for meteorites, Terevsky is already a millionaire with a fortune of $5, $6 million.
However, the search for meteorites is not all smooth sailing, Terevsky's experience of collecting meteorites is very similar to the plot of the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark", full of thrills, thorns, excitement and legends, in Chile, Namibia, Australia, Mexico and Egypt, Terevsky has the experience of dying in the wilderness, he encountered lost in the jungle in Chile, in the desert of Africa, met cannibal tribes, and on the beach in Australia, almost died under the highly venomous venom of the box jellyfish.
This time, Terevsky came to the middle of the Atlantic, the sea where the meteorite landed, after the dissipation of the nuclear ~~FS, and drove a speedboat, in which it is estimated that more than 10,000 meteorites were landed.
Terevsky believed that with his experience and eyesight, he would pay off.
Terevsky moored the speedboat about 200 kilometers southeast of Flores Island, which is a dense area of meteorite distribution.
Terevsky saw a lot of acquaintances, where there are meteor showers, there are them, basically everyone knows each other, they are competitors with each other.
Terevsky still came a little late, and he saw that Haig had already surfaced, holding a charred fragment of meteorite in his hand, two fists the size, not a small gain.
For the meteorite search industry, coming late means that there is no meat to eat, and you may not even be able to drink soup.
"Hey, man, you're a little late." Haig greeted him.
"Man, very lucky." Terevsky replied to Haig, somewhat flattered.
Haig is a legend in their profession, Haig has two identities, on the one hand, a professor at the University of Los Angeles, on the other hand, the world's most authoritative meteorite collector, Haig's meteorite collection has exceeded $30 million at market value, and as more and more people begin to collect meteorites, his collection has increased exponentially.
Due to the peculiarities of the origin of meteorites and the potential for future appreciation, Haig's meteorite collection ranks seventh among the top ten treasures in the world, ranking higher than the Russian diamond vault.
Terevsky was dressed in a diving suit, goggles, carrying an oxygen tank on his back, wearing a helmet with a mining lamp, holding a detector in his hand, and a speargun hanging from his waist to prevent sharks.
Terevsky, having checked the equipment again, jumped into the water and dived to the bottom of the sea.
In such an environment, not for the first time, Terevsky was very skilled.
A few hours later, he found a meteorite, with a charred black shell on the surface that burned to distinguish it from ordinary stones on the ocean floor
Terevsky suddenly saw a huge black shadow in front of him, and he quickly swam over.
The ring canal, the tall city walls, the three pyramids standing side by side in the center,
"This is Atlantis City!!" Terevsky was already sluggish, his mouth was wide open in an 'O' shape, his expression had frozen, and if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't speak in the water, he would have almost exclaimed out loud.
The magnificent city in front of him is indeed the legendary city of Atlantis, he has seen the original form of this legendary city on the island of Tortuga, but unfortunately, the treasure is already in the city of Atlantis on the island of Tortuga.
Terevsky swam over and tried to find the last treasure in Atlantis.
Everything in Atlantis is worth a lot of money, even an ordinary piece of pottery can fetch thousands of dollars, and if you can find the legendary oraldial metal, it will be even more valuable.
Terevsky is located in this sea area is a densely distributed area of meteorites, there are many meteorite treasure hunters, treasure hunters here looking for 'meteorites', soon, a few more meteorite treasure hunters found 'Atlantis', and then, in less than half a day, the news of the birth of Atlantis spread all over the world, the legendary Atlantis City is located in the southeast of the Flores Islands about 207 kilometers of the sea area.
Countless people thought of Chen Rui, not only scavenged the treasures of Atlantis City and stored them in Atlantis City on Tortuga Island, but also kept the news of where Atlantis City was very tight, becoming one of the mysteries of the world that only Chen Rui knows, now, without you now, we all know it.
Atlantis City attracted more treasure hunters to arrive, and even professional treasure hunting companies came to find treasures in Atlantis City that were not discovered by Chen Rui.
However, they immediately became a little happy and sad!! (To be continued.) )
