Chapter 147: Blue Meteorite
A large circular pit with a radius of several kilometers appeared in front of our eyes, and there was still coal burning in the pit. According to the older generation, more than 100 years ago, a big fireball suddenly fell from the sky, smashed to the ground, smashed out a big black pit, and ignited the black substance in the pit.
At that time, there was a large pit burning with a raging fire here, and people did not dare to approach it, and the ancients, who believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, believed that this was the place where the gods came.
Later, as time passed, people began to approach this fire pit in order to keep warm, and then one after another, heavy rain extinguished the fire, and the fire in the black pit gradually extinguished, and only a small part continued to burn.
I observed the big black pit, there were a few villagers in the pit, they quickly picked up the black stones into the basket and brought them out, the villagers only took a small amount of coal, basically enough for their use, they didn't take much.
According to Mengzhu, the villagers here are not insatiable, they believe that it is a creation of the gods, which brings them a warm source of fire, and they thank the heavens and do not dare to expect too much.
Indeed, in the past, the villagers under the Jishi Mountain had to go to the mountain to cut firewood after winter, their firewood was not enough to burn, and their life was difficult, and there were many fierce beasts on the Jishi Mountain, and often when they went up the mountain to cut firewood, they would encounter accidents.
Since the appearance of this black pit, they found that like stones, shiny black stones can be burned, and the burning time is long, they went to this big pit to get stones, and from then on they basically did not have to go to the mountains to cut wood.
You know, there was no coal in ancient times, and coal mining technology was not available until modern times, Bai Juyi's poem "Charcoal Seller" was written in the Tang Dynasty, the charcoal of the Tang Dynasty, or charcoal burning.
I can't help but sigh, no wonder we have to live with faith, we have to thank nature for everything it has given us, so as to cherish resources.
However, this is not the case, most people are insatiable, otherwise, the earth's resources will not be overexploited.
"Why is there a big hole here for no reason?" Eight-character nonsense.
As long as he sees the big pit, he will have the association of whether there is an ancient tomb or an ancient well, maybe this is his occupational disease, he jumped into the pit as he spoke, picked up a piece of coal and threw it up.
I picked up the coal block and looked closely, and found that the coal card count in this pit was very high, and it was a good coal of the highest quality.
The big pit in front of you is actually an open-pit coal mine.
More than 100 years ago, an extraterrestrial meteorite fell from the sky and smashed a few kilometers away from Jishi Mountain, and smashed into an open-pit coal mine area.
Fortunately, there was no explosion, otherwise the villagers would have suffered.
"Let's go down and have a look." I say.
I deduced that the meteorite must still be in the crater, and now I know the nature of the meteorite and what planet it belongs to.
Entering the bottom of the pit, there are coal blocks under the feet, but the surface has basically been burned and becomes cinder, and under the cinder is the real coal, the cinder layer should be very thick, and the power of meteorites is not small.
I picked up a piece of coal, and found that the coal was very greasy on it, why is the coal so greasy, and the hand that grabbed the coal was like a layer of oil sticking to my hand.
We walked all the way to the center of the crater, and I found that when the meteorite hit the earth, there was a serious follow-up collapse around it, in fact, the volume of the meteorite is not very large, but because there is brittle coal below the surface here, after being hit, a large crater immediately appeared.
Meng Zhu said: In the center of the big pit, there is a very strange stone buried in the black stone, and one night many years ago, this stone actually emitted a blue light.
We followed Mengzhu to find the stone, yes, it was a meteorite, and the color was indeed blue, but it did not reach the level of blue light.
I measured the meteorite and deduced that the meteorite was about a meter in diameter.
I said to Mengzhu: This is an open-pit coal mine, and there are actually many more coal mines like this, so the villagers can take coal with confidence.
Bazi Hu touched the meteorite and said: Such a large piece of meteorite, this can be sold for a lot of money.
Money money, money, money, you know money, can you think of something to contribute to the country, isn't this the best gift for the country?
I put my hand on the meteorite, and the surface of the meteorite was so smooth that I could see that it had been tempered into a smooth sphere by the heat.
We didn't have any instruments to determine the material composition of this meteorite, but when I got close to the meteorite, something suddenly burned my neck, and I thought that a burning coal had fallen into my neck, so I quickly shook my clothes, but found nothing.
When I approached the meteorite again, I felt a boiling heat under my neck again, and this time I knew that it was the Heavenly Charm and the temperature of the Heavenly Charm suddenly increased, so it burned my neck.
Strangely, whenever I touch a meteorite, the temperature of the Celestial Charm rises dramatically.
Could it be that this heavenly charm ......
Could it be that the material of the Celestial Charm is also a meteorite? There must be a lot of interlinkedness.
"It's a real meteorite, and we've got to find a way to dig it out."
"But the villagers may disagree."
I looked at Mengzhu, hoping for Mengzhu's consent.
Meng Zhu said: Since Xia Gongzi said that this is just a meteorite, then it is not a big deal to dig it, dig!
Mengzhu's appeal in the local area was far greater than we imagined, and he immediately gathered the villagers to dig up the meteorite.
The villagers cut the coal, little by little, digging down.
By three o'clock in the afternoon, the meteorite had been dug up, a complete stone, and I said that I would lift the meteorite first.
The villagers tightened the meteorite with ropes, and several people worked together to carry it to the top of the pit, and when they were carried to the middle, because the rope was not tied properly, the meteorite suddenly rolled down, but fortunately, the villagers dodged in time and did not cause casualties.
The meteorite rolled to the bottom of the pit, hit a large piece of coal, and with a bang, everyone thought that the meteorite had exploded and fell to the ground.
But the meteorite did not explode, but cracked, like a vacuum-like glass product, with a layer of stone on the outside and a vacuum on the inside, and the inner layer also cracked, appearing in the middle.
In the middle is a liner, about the size of a small football ball, which is blue in color, which belongs to the kind of streamer blue.
"Oh my God, what a big sapphire !!!" Bazihu exclaimed.
If the meteorite emitted bursts of blue light many years ago, then it must be the light emitted by the sapphire of the inner tank.
It is not wrong to say that the core stone of this meteorite is a rare sapphire in the world.
But it is not yet confirmed that it is the same as the composition of the sapphire, in my opinion, since I am close to it, the temperature of the celestial charm will rise, then, this meteorite, should be a meteorite containing extremely high energy.
If I'm not mistaken, this meteorite, when it didn't fall, was once a huge planet, and finally became a meteor, fell into the atmosphere, and condensed into a high-energy meteorite, and the energy it contained was all the energy of the previous huge planet.
If a meteorite explodes, then the Earth may be destroyed.
I put the meteorite in my backpack and whispered something to Meng Zhu, Meng Zhu nodded and said: If you can use it to exterminate Cao Yan's army of dead people to obtain peace in the world, it will be great, here Xia Gongzi, please rest assured, the villagers will not have any opinions, they are quite satisfied with the life in front of them, and there will be no hindrance to you.
I was relieved, and I was worried that the villagers would make a big fuss when they thought I had taken the sapphires and taken away their treasures.
I walked back to the place where the meteorite was dug up, and there was a crater in the ground, and there was a bright light shining in the pit, could it be that there were gems underneath? The light seemed to be a flowing light.
I lay down and let the mustache and the dog grab my legs, and I got into the pit and touched the bottom of the pit with my hands.
When I came out of the pit, my hands were black, all oil, and the pit smelled of oil.
There is oil in the coal pit, is this layer of coal, and oil underneath the coal? No.
Meng Zhu walked over, looked at my hand and said, "This thing, this kind of thing often appears in the place of Jishi Mountain, on the edge of the plain, and at the foot of the mountain.
Yes? A thought immediately crossed my mind.
"Quick, take us around."
