Everyone understands that it won't be long before such an arrogant gang will be defeated by the SWAT, but recently, not only Nevada, but also the SWAT in the southern states of the United States have been a little busy, and only those who have signed the confidentiality regulations know what the SWAT has been busy with lately.

The special police, who are concentrating all their efforts on arresting the octopus people who have entered the country illegally, have no time for the time being, and the powerful US military is obviously not suitable for this kind of internal contradiction among the people according to the Constitution, after all, the gang fire is not a terrorist attack, and black eating black is not all bad for the American police. As long as automatic weapons are not used in public places to strafe ordinary people, the army will not be able to move, including unmanned attack aircraft that accidentally killed many shepherds in Afghanistan.

Zhang Cheng and Stephanie were drinking and talking on the balcony when several meteors streaked across the sky, and a few more flashed in the sky.

Zhang Cheng: "Meteor shower, I haven't seen it for a long time." ”

In fact, there are still a lot of meteorites that penetrate the atmosphere, but they can't be seen during the day, they can't be seen on cloudy days, and they can't be seen when they fall asleep early in the house. And many small meteorites have not formed a meteor that can be seen by the naked eye at all, and if it were not a meteorite of that scale that could make the dinosaurs extinct, the meteor that could be seen at night would be three or two kittens like today.

Stephanie: "Well, it looks like the meteorite landed in the desert of eastern Nevada." ”

Catherine heard that there was a meteorite meteorite and also came to the balcony: "Meteorite, where, let's go treasure hunting." ”

Stephanie explained to Zhang: "In the years when we left home and traveled in the United States to drive, we relied on treasure hunting to make ends meet. You also know Catherine's abilities, whether it is an ancient coin buried a few meters deep in the ground or a meteorite a few meters underground, it cannot escape her eyes. And my ability gives me access to all private realms. If it weren't for the casinos in Nevada that attracted us, we would have been treasure hunters for a lifetime. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Great, I also fantasized about this kind of life when I was in school, but I didn't have a chance at that time, I heard that most of the meteorites that fell to the ground were ferroalloys, and the value was not high, right?" ”

Stephanie: "That depends on what you say. According to the value of the metal itself, it can be said that the vast majority of meteorites have almost no value, and the value of meteorites lies in the fact that they are extraterrestrial visitors and did not belong to the earth before. The hype of meteorite collectors over the years has also gained value. But it's true that the price is not high, if it's just an ordinary alloy meteorite. If it's not very good-looking or too small, it will be sold online for a few hundred dollars. ”

Zhang Cheng: "It's really a very rare hobby of collecting. Now I believe that Pan Jiayuan has an American collection of honeycomb coal. ”

Stephanie: "But it's not all like that. Needless to say, the meteorite that is too big will definitely not be allowed to be sold, and even if the two of us are found, they will not be able to move. There is one meteorite that may not be very large, but it is very valuable. Have you ever heard of the Blue Stone? ”

Zhang Cheng shook his head: "Not at all." ”

Stephanie: "A diamond meteorite. Only Barringer Crater in Arizona in the United States, New Mexico, Antarctica, and the Tunguska region of Russia have been found in the world. Because there are few of them. Extremely high value. If such a diamond meteorite can be found. Sell for millions of dollars. ”

When he heard about the diamond meteorite, Zhang Cheng also remembered something: "I seem to have heard of the diamond meteorite, which is said to be much harder than diamond." It also emits light. Old is worth a lot of money, it is said to be. ”

Stephanie gave Zhang Chengpu popularization: "The diamond meteorite that is harder than a diamond is a blue stone synthesized by people after heating and decomposing natural blue stone stone. The natural blue stone is not very hard because the structure is not perfect. My sister and I really wanted to get our hands on the Blue Stone, so we did our homework a long time ago. ”

"One more heat treatment,, that's not what they told me, these guys." Zhang Cheng has all kinds of grievances.

"Leave that alone, let's go to the meteorite landing site and see, what surprises await us." Catherine picked up the phone and bought an SUV with strong off-road ability from the car sales center in the middle of the night.

After booking the car, Catherine said, "Buy the car, go downstairs to shop, and go." ”

Zhang Cheng, who was still wearing pajamas on the balcony, asked: "Is this a trip?" ”

Catherine: "Of course. ”

Zhang Cheng is also very yearning for this kind of travel: "Very good, this kind of travel is the most interesting." ”

According to Zhang Cheng's thinking, if you decide to travel to Egypt to see the pyramid sphinx, and you really see the pyramids and sphinx in Egypt, wouldn't there be no surprise at all - the soul is light, what kind of theory is this?

Zhang Cheng's idea is that life should always be full of surprises is the most interesting, the kind of participation in a tour group, where to stop, where to shop, where to visit, where to eat and stay, if a detailed plan has been made before the start of the trip, then how much difference is there between a traveler and a part on the automated assembly line.

Well, although someone who traveled with this bizarre idea has been hunted down by the natives more than once for various reasons - dear, people are hard to tear down.

After waiting for the new car to be delivered downstairs, the three of them packed up their personal belongings and left the hotel a little, drove the new car to the 24-hour convenience store, bought all kinds of food and water, and drove away from the bright lights of Las Vegas to the north, driving in the middle of the night in the general direction of the meteorite crash site in the deep desert.

According to Zhang Cheng and Stephanie's visual judgment, if the meteor at that time fell to the ground, it would have landed somewhere about two hundred miles north of Las Vegas, and it still took luck and perseverance to find an extraterrestrial meteorite in such a large area. And pray that there are no other meteorite hunters nearby to grab business.

At the beginning, head north along Route 93, three people took turns driving and sleeping. The road was relatively easy to walk, and after dawn, the three of them agreed that they had reached the area where they were going deep into the desert to find the crater. After stopping to replenish his body with some water and food, Zhang Cheng decided on the direction with the branches still in the tree, and slowly drove into the desert area of central Nevada.

Nevada's desert wilderness isn't impossible to transform, but converting the desert wasteland here into pasture farmland requires water, and it's a precious amount of fresh water. Nearby states have the least precipitation and most water-scarce areas in the United States, so they have to let drought-tolerant animals and plants such as rattlesnakes, cacti, and camel grass occupy large swaths of the desert area.

The car could not drive fast in such an area, and at noon, the three of them drove dozens of kilometers deep into the desert area.

After stopping at noon to look at a few cacti, Stephanie went to pick some pink fruits from the cacti and took them back and said, "The cactus fruits at this time of year are sweet and greasy. ”

Catherine ate one: "It's been a long time." Well, it's so sweet, Zhang, you can taste it too, we used to pick this fruit in Texas and eat it as sugar. ”

Zhang Cheng also ate one, and then nodded: "It's too sweet." (To be continued......)
