Li Yan sighed in his heart.

Damn, he won't find anything he shouldn't see, right?

As he observed Marin's expression, he began to think carefully about what he had missed when testing the composition of the iron ore.

The next second.

Ma Lin stretched out his right hand, which was trembling because of excitement, grabbed Li Yan, and said excitedly: "It's done!" This time it's sent! Li Yan, look! ”

Seeing this, Li Yan moved his gaze to the microscope suspiciously.

The next moment, within the lens image, an oval bulge suddenly appeared in its eyes.

Marlin adjusts the objective at 60x.

At this multiple, is it ......

"That's right! This is most likely a weathered fossil of bacteria! ”

Ma Lin shook Li Yan excitedly, just like a child who had eaten sugar, he almost didn't dance with his hands, "Alien bacteria weathering sample!" Do you know how precious this is? ”

"Bacteria are life! This proves that extraterrestrial bacteria may also be alive, as early as 11 years ago, NASA dug up a C1 carbonaceous chondrite meteorite in Antarctica. ”

"China's research in this area is still very underdeveloped, and the emergence of this sample will provide a lot of research information!"

"To tell you the truth, Li Yan, where did you get this meteorite fragment from, and how many are there?"

At this time, Li Yan was already confused in his heart.

In order to be afraid that the origin of iron ore was too special, he only focused on examining the isotopes of radioactive elements, and did not pay attention to bacterial fossils.

Now it seems that Marin is worthy of being a veteran of "playing meteorites", and he is really experienced and knows what is the most important thing on meteorites!

"Mr. Ma, ...... your question?"

Li Yan smiled awkwardly.

Marin was not a fool either, and hurriedly stopped: "Oh, I forgot, blame me for being too excited, sorry, you also received it from other sources, and you should abide by the confidentiality regulations." ”

The so-called "other channels" are meteorite hunters.

Like gem hunters, they search for meteorite mines all over the world, and when they dig them, they sell them to all kinds of merchants at low prices for resale.

But like explorers looking for treasure, gem hunters are generally reluctant to reveal their identities and say nothing about the location where the meteorite veins were found.

Reacting to Li Yan's intention to come today, Ma Lin pushed his eyes, pulled him, and whispered: "Li Yan, you are Wang Gang's student, so I will tell you directly, among the many meteorites, the price of red meteorites is relatively high, about $60 per gram or higher." ”

$60 per gram!

Oh my God, this is already more expensive than the processed and purified gold!

Li Yan's heart was beating "poof", you know, he came back with a cubic meter of origin iron ore this time.

What is the concept of a cube?

According to the density of ordinary granite, it should be at least 2.2 tons or more!

And the density of iron ore must be heavier than granite!

Sure enough, reselling resources is the most profitable!

"But ......"

Who would have thought, Marin suddenly came to a twist, "Generally, it can be sold at a high price, and it is easy to sell, most of them are ornamental meteorites, whether a meteorite is ornamental, mainly depends on the texture and smoothness of the outer molten shell, as well as the chondrite pattern inside." ”

"This batch of yours, it is estimated that it has been too long, and the lines are all weathered, basically no different from ordinary rocks, I am afraid it will be difficult to sell at the price it should be, at least half of it will be reduced, conservatively estimated, it should be about 10 US dollars per gram."

“……”

Li Yan looked confused.

In a twist, these "treasures" of his have shrunk six times directly!

This is also normal, these ores that were originally from the origin world did not fall through atmospheric friction at all, and of course they could not form chondrites produced by high-temperature friction.

However, even if it is calculated in this way, it is still about the same as the price of rough gold ore, and there are still more than 20 million yuan in the account!

More than 20 million!

Buying land should be enough, right?

What he didn't expect was that just when he had already calculated it in his heart.

"But ......"

That's right, Marin has taken another turn.

Li Yan's face was full of black lines.

Nima, what's the situation, how can this teacher talk and pant so much, it's easy to scare people out of heart disease, okay?

This is like those broken dog writers in film and television novels, the most hateful!

"However, if you have alien bacteria in these meteorites, the value is different, although, for ordinary people, these alien bacterial fossils are not usually visible or touched."

"But if you think about it carefully, if you have a meteorite carrying alien life in your home, the meaning is different, so because of this gimmick, the value of your meteorite will be doubled by hundreds or thousands!"

Hundreds, thousands of times......

Li Yan muttered in his heart.

And Marin hasn't finished speaking, "However, meteorites carrying extraterrestrial bacterial fossils are very rare, and the C1 carbonaceous chondrite meteorite mined by NASA in Antarctica before was a total of 7 tons, but in the end, there were only nine bacterial fossils." ”

"So, you'd better take an inventory of the meteorites with bacterial fossils, as for the buyers, I can help you contact them, your meteorites are very special, and it is estimated that there are many people who are interested."

"Finally, on behalf of the Modu Observatory, I have a reluctant request......"

Li Yan was no longer surprised by Ma Lin's divine turn, so he said, "Teacher Ma, you said. ”

"Can you give us the Modu Observatory this sample of bacterial fossils, you know, this is a very valuable and important information for astronomical research in China."

"I hope you can sacrifice for the sake of the country, and when the time comes, we will also carry out newspaper and media social publicity, the lifetime signature of the meteorite, and the naming right of extraterrestrial bacterial specimens, all of which are yours alone."

"Of course, no matter whether it is given away in the end or not, I will help you contact the buyer, this is your personal friendship with me, and it has nothing to do with the country."

Marin was very sincere in what he said.

Li Yan doesn't care, anyway, these iron ores are not worth much to him, and what the origin world has is almost cabbage.

Moreover, it is not like the three-leaf green pear fruit, which cannot be replicated on earth.

Despite this, Li Yan still pretended to be extremely difficult on the surface.

The drama always has to be played.

It's so easy to agree, even if you treat money like dung, it's a bit too fake.

"Tangled" for a long time.

Li Yan finally spoke: "Teacher Ma is serious, to contribute to the country, I, a member of the Socialist Communist Youth League, am duty-bound!" ”

His "serious" remarks surprised and delighted Marin.

It was his tone that pleased him.

After all, even if it is a small sample, because it carries alien bacterial fossils, it is estimated that it can be fried for at least tens of millions!
