"Director Xu, without your detection and identification, how can we really be sure that it is a lunar meteorite, but it has a molten glass shell on it, which should be an important feature of a lunar meteorite, as for whether it is or not, it depends on scientific testing to determine." Even if I infinitely believe that this is a lunar meteorite, but with Gao Cunzhi's rigorous character, there is no affirmative answer.

The middle-aged man nodded and looked at the bag in the hands of the two of them, "Okay, Brother Gao, you can come with me." He still trusts Gao Cunzhi's eyesight, but the lunar meteorite is too precious, and it is very normal for him to have doubts.

After that, the middle-aged man led them to a room, and there were two men in white coats in the room, "Brother Gao, please take out the objects you need to test and put them on the table, and I will carry out the testing work later." ”

So, Gao Cunzhi and Li Boren took out the box, and then carefully took out the two meteorites from it and gently placed them on the table.

Looking at these two meteorites, the middle-aged man's face couldn't help but be a little moved, and after careful observation, the shock on his face became stronger and stronger, "The glass molten shell on this is the salient feature of one of the types of meteorites on the moon, but whether it is a lunar meteorite, it still needs further detection, I will immediately carry out the detection work, and the preliminary results can be produced in an hour, if it really may be a lunar meteorite, then it will take two days to carry out all categories of testing, please wait here for a while." ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man put on white gloves, personally put the two meteorites on the table into a container carefully, and then called the two staff members next to him, and couldn't wait to enter the testing room.

"Just wait here for a while, in my judgment, this is most likely a lunar meteorite." Gao Cunzhi said with a smile, but his face was not so calm, he looked at Chen Yi, and then asked, "Xiaoyi." Don't you think our reaction is exaggerated? ”

"Well, I have this feeling, in my eyes, Senior Brother Gao has always been very calm, even if it is some antiques worth tens of millions, he will not be as nervous as he is now." Chen Yi nodded, he just knew that this lunar meteorite was rare and precious. But what Cheng dΓΉ he arrived, he did not know.

Gao Cunzhi exhaled lightly, looked at the door of the testing room and said: "The collection of meteorites has only started in modern times, and the research on meteorites in China has only started more than forty years ago. ”

"The meteorite can be said to be a treasure that fell from the sky, and the rarity is precious, with these alien stones falling from the sky. It also has a great value, and most of the meteorites are from the asteroids between Mars and Jupiter, and now it is known that there are about 40,000 meteorite samples in the world, but the lunar meteorites and Martian meteorites are the rarest, and there are only more than 30 in the world. ”

"The price of a kilogram of an ordinary meteorite ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and if rare meteorites like lunar meteorites and Martian meteorites are stored, each kilogram can even reach tens of millions of dollars. The reason why there are so few meteorites in the world is that most of them are burned up when they pass through the atmosphere, and only one percent of them may fall to the ground and become meteorites, and even fewer meteorites can be found and recovered."

"Because there are three-quarters of the oceans on the surface of the earth, and there are deserts and untouched virgin forests that you want to find. It was very difficult, and the most famous of the meteorite hunters was Tieriken Haig, who began collecting meteorites at the age of twenty-three, before anyone realized that meteorites could be sold for money. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Cunzhi showed a sigh on his face, "Haig's collection of meteorites can be said to be to the point of madness. His footprints have covered all the big 6 on Earth except the South Pole, and as long as the Tiliton Space Agency predicts that there will be meteor showers anywhere and at what time, he will rush there at the exact time, in addition to collecting it himself. He would also buy from locals, and even was arrested for smuggling meteorites when they were shipped out of a country, but he was later released and the meteorites were left in that country, and now he owns the world's largest private meteorite collection, estimated at more than $30 million at market value, and his meteorite collection is ranked seventh among the world's top ten treasures. ”

"The lunar meteorite is more precious than the Martian meteorite, its present is determined by comparing with the samples retrieved by human beings on the moon, even if it is a gram of ordinary lunar meteorite, its value is more than 20,000 yuan a gram, and if it contains some precious metals or no existing elemental substances, then its value will be even higher."

"We react so much to another point, that is, our country has not yet appeared a lunar meteorite, and now the zΓ i are bought from abroad at a high price, in addition to the absence of our country, the overseas Antarctic expedition group also has the task of collecting meteorites, the world has recovered more than 30,000 meteorites from the Antarctic ice sheet, and a few other countries have obtained lunar meteorites in the South Pole, but China has never seen a piece, and there has been a suspected lunar meteorite before, which may be the only lunar meteorite in China. It alarmed the entire scientific community, but in the end, after rigorous scientific testing, there was no rocky structure of the moon, so the only possible lunar meteorite did not exist. ”

Gao Cunzhi smiled, with a cautious look on his face, "In terms of the knowledge of those scientists who went to the Antarctic at that time, they were basically the top talents in various scientific fields, and the meteorites they observed with their eyes could be wrong, not to mention our business, so no matter what we observed was like a lunar meteorite, we still need to conduct rigorous scientific testing to get the real results." ”

"Xiaoyi, now you understand why we reacted so nervously just now, the two meteorites you appeared, if they are really lunar meteorites, the significance is definitely no less than putting an atomic bomb in the scientific community, and it also proves that there are lunar meteorites falling in our country."

After listening to Gao Cunzhi's words, Chen Yi felt a deep amazement in his heart, he didn't expect that a lunar meteorite represented such a great significance, and the collection of meteorites was even more unimaginable.

With tens of thousands to tens of millions of dollars per kilogram, this is already a highly valuable collectible, and gold may depreciate. But these meteorites from outer space will not depreciate, and there are traces to be found, as long as you know where there is a meteor shower, just run over directly, although it will be very difficult to find, but compared to the antiques in China, it is much easier.

"Xiaoyi. Let me tell you one more thing, there used to be one of the most famous multiple-choice questions in the world, and now the highest unit price of international smuggled goods is: mink, antiques, diamonds, and ice. And the correct answer is meteorites, which has shown how high the value of meteorites is, meteorites have become a world-famous luxury, those so-called LV bags or Chanel or something, are not as valuable as a meteorite, and the value of the meteorite you appear is one of the aspects. What's more important is the meaning. ”

Gao Cunzhi smiled and told Chen Yi a story in the meteorite circle, which further proved the value of the meteorite.

Chen Yi sighed a little in his heart, he might have thought that the collection industry was just antiques and cultural relics, but now he knew about his loneliness, meteorite, this stone from outer space. It can also be a collectible, and it is a highly valuable collection.

The first and second lunar meteorites that appeared in Huaxia, Chen Yi smiled, and naturally understood the meaning, so the value represented in this sense may make his previous estimation have some errors.

But no matter how wrong. It should not be within the calculation range of the identification system, because of a meteorite, knowing so many things, Chen Yi felt that he was really worth the trip. He inadvertently appeared a meteorite, and it was really a treasure that fell from the sky.

After continuous conversation, the time gradually passed an hour, and the door of the testing room was tightly closed, at this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and out of it came a middle-aged man with an extremely excited face, who was the director of the testing center.

Seeing this situation, how could Gao Cunzhi and Li Boren not know what the result was, although the identification of a meteorite requires multiple complex categories of detection, but if you know what kind of meteorite it is, then it is not too difficult to determine it first.

"Director Xu, what is the result?" Gao Cunzhi and the others stood up and couldn't help but greet them.

Director Xu was excited and handed a test report to Gao Cunzhi, "The identification results have met expectations, and through the preliminary sample testing, it has been found that these two meteorites contain the unique structure of lunar soil conglomerate, and this structure, except for the moon, has not yet appeared on other known stars, so it is now enough to preliminarily determine that these two meteorites are lunar meteorites, and the volume and weight have exceeded most of the other lunar meteorites in this world."

"I have notified the National Institute of Geochemistry and asked them to send people to do further testing and identification, and when all the testing items are complete and finalized, they will be declared and named to the International Meteorite Society, and they may become the first and second lunar meteorites in China at home and abroad, which is simply a great news, and will definitely set off a big storm in the international meteorite and scientific community."

Gao Cunzhi took the test report, and some of the above test numbers had already appeared, which were basically the same as the lunar meteorite scientific research reports he had seen, "Great, the last Antarctic lunar meteorite oolong incident has almost made my country's expedition group set up the object of foreign jokes, and now, there are two lunar meteorites at a time, and it is still more than 300 grams, which can already allow my country's meteorite research, and go further, Director Xu, I think we should consider disclosing it to the outside world before the final results are determined." ”

"I have made a special explanation to the person in charge of the Earth Research Institute, and they are also cautious, and they will not really determine until all the items are fully tested, by the way, Brother Gao, where are your two lunar meteorites appear, which will play a positive role in our research on meteorites in the future, and it is also the basis for the naming of the International Meteorite Society, where it appears, it will be named after the place name." At this time, Director Xu thought of something, grabbed Gao Cunzhi's arm with excitement on his face and asked.

Gao Cunzhi shook his head and smiled, "Director Xu, these two lunar meteorites are not mine. ”

"What, it's not you, it's not you, it's you bought it in the store, if you can't know the location, it's a great pity."

Hearing Gao Cunzhi's answer, Director Xu suddenly said in frustration, the location of the fall of the GuΓ² meteorite can allow them to study more information about the moon, if Gao Cunzhi received it from some people who sold family heirlooms, the sea of people is vast, and it may be very difficult to find these people from it.

"Director Xu, don't be so anxious and frustrated, one of the people we came here is the creator of the meteorite, and he knows exactly where they fell." Gao Cunzhi patted Director Xu's shoulder and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Director Xu instantly raised his head, and his eyes were firmly on Chen Yi and Li Boren, "Brother Li, are these two meteorites from you?" ”

"Haha, Director Xu, how can I have the fate to present these two big treasures." Li Boren smiled, and couldn't help but take a step back, highlighting Chen Yi in front of him.

Director Xu looked at Chen Yi who was standing on the side of the table, a little dumbfounded, "Brother Gao, this, this is impossible." ”

"Director Xu, how is it impossible, Mr. Haig started collecting meteorites at the age of twenty-three, why can't other young people, Chen Yi you are looking at is my junior brother, and he is also the presenter of these two meteorites." At this time, Gao Cunzhi said with pride on his face. He was proud that his brother was able to present two lunar meteorites at a time, something no other government or private meteorite seeker had ever done.

"Hello, Director Xu, I'm Chen Yi." Chen Yi smiled, walked out of the table, and stretched out his hand to Director Xu.

Director Xu had a look of shock on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward to shake Chen Yi's hand, "Hello, Chen Yi, Senior Brother Gao's junior brother, that is Old Zheng's disciple, and he is really a rising star, a talent, where did you come from these two lunar meteorites." ”

At this moment, Director Xu's heart was like a sea churning, when he saw Chen Yi before, he just regarded him as Gao Cunzhi's follower, but he didn't expect that this young man was a disciple of Zheng Lao, and he was also the presenter of these two lunar meteorites, which was unbelievable, a young man in his early twenties, the first and second lunar meteorites in Huaxia, which represented not only wealth, but huge fame.
