Aktash Valley.

Walking on the dry riverbed, looking up at the hot sun, Zhang Jing was already numb, and he came out for seven days, but he didn't find a piece of meteorite.

I want to give up and go back to rest, but the conditions don't allow it, he is a person with a girlfriend.

Money is needed to cover living expenses and accommodation.

Thinking back to two years ago today, it was also June, he had just graduated, and Mo Ming awakened the treasure hunt system.

The treasure hunt system is similar to an electrician's toolbox, there are many tools in it, and Zhang Jing's starting treasure hunt tool is like a metal detector, and the naked eye can see the metal within two meters in front of him (including underground).

At the beginning of getting the system, Zhang Jing searched for treasures near his home and found that there were metal hints everywhere underground, thinking that they were ancient coins and rare metals.

What was dug up after a long day was all scrap copper and rotten iron and worthless circulating coins.

In this way, Zhang Jing could only go away from his hometown and come to Western Xinjiang alone to find metal meteorites and start a more difficult life.

Just about to be sunburned, Zhang Jing dragged his tired body to a stone that resembled a springboard next to the riverbed to avoid the shade.

Unloading the backpack and taking out the water, when he looked up, his eyes were slightly stunned, and his heart was stunned.

If there is a meteorite in the wild, it is normal to be underfoot.

Hanging overhead, the first time I heard of it, and the first time I saw it.

This is a good thing, and it proves that it must have existed for a very long time, and it has experienced the diversion of rivers and the transformation of mountains.

Just as Zhang Jing was about to start digging, a high-horsepower pickup truck rumbled over in the distance.

A puff of dust fell, and the car stopped five meters away.

"Zhang Jing," Li Mingcheng jumped out of the car and greeted him and asked, "How's the harvest?" ”

Li Mingcheng, 30 years old, a man from Shandong, a professional treasure hunter, entered the industry early and found a lot of good things.

Zhang Jing knew him as soon as he entered the industry, lived in the same hotel, drank wine seven or eight times together, and was considered a friend.

Shaking the backpack, Zhang Jing looked hot.

"I just came out of the provincial capital, do you want enough green vegetables in the car?"

"No," Zhang Jingwan refused, "I've been out for a week, and I'll be back tomorrow at the latest, so I don't need food." ”

"Either give you a glass of cucumber juice, ice."

Zhang Jing has a black line on his head, and he has swiped this video, "What do you want to say?" ”

"I saw Xiao Jing sitting in the same luxury car twice, what I want to tell you is that there are many good girls, don't be impulsive."

Zhang Jing's mouth moved, and he couldn't say a word.

Li Mingcheng sympathized with Zhang Jing in his heart and licked until he had nothing left, got in the car and left.

After a while, Zhang Jingcai walked out of his abnormal mood, took a deep breath of dry and hot air, first turned on the camera function of his mobile phone, shot in a fixed position, and then used a shovel to poke the dead stone above his head.

The target was embedded in the dry stone, and for fear of hurting the meteorite, Zhang Jing carefully knocked on the evening from noon before taking it out completely.

The shape is like a whole peanut, the size is like a children's stationery box, and it weighs about five pounds.

After two years in the industry, this is the largest iron meteorite that Zhang Jing has found.

To be happy is to be happy, but not too early to be happy, because the price in the market is very chaotic.

One of the reasons is that there are too many fakes.

Even if it is true, there is no fixed price, most are not expensive, and there are very few meteorites worth millions.

There are many factors that affect the price.

Materials: stony meteorite, stony-iron meteorite, iron damaged stone, glass meteorite, etc.

Provenance: Unnamed meteorites, lunar meteorites, Martian meteorites, etc.

The price ranges from 10~100,000 yuan per gram, and the span is large to exaggerated, and the real price is generally below 1,000 per gram.

I don't know the exact price, Zhang Jing probably said in his heart that the piece in his hand is an iron meteorite, excluding that it comes from the moon and Mars, and it is likely to be an unknown meteorite.

In this way, its price is about 800~1500 yuan per gram.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Jing walked out of the desert and took a car back to the provincial capital of Western Xinjiang.

Because he didn't know the true value of the iron meteorite in his hand, he was also worried about being deceived by a shrewd businessman.

Zhang Jing called the expert, who was an associate professor at Xijiang University, majoring in antiquities, also researching meteorites, and also receiving private work for identification.

In general, even associate professors disdain low-level treasure hunters to play traffic.

The reason why the other party is down-to-earth is because his wife needs to take imported drugs that are not covered by medical insurance every day to maintain a stable condition.

The two parties agreed to meet at the Blue Mountain Cafe at the north gate of the school, with Zhang Jing arriving first and the other party arriving last.

"Hello Professor Xu." Zhang Jing stood up and greeted the other party.

Professor Xu, whose full name is Xu Zehong, is in his sixties, slightly chubby, and wears a pair of thick glasses.

Xu Zehong beckoned, "Sit down, give the signing fee first." ”

It was not the first day of entering the industry, Zhang Jing knew the rules, and handed over three hundred yuan to the other party with both hands.

"What's the good stuff that makes you dusty?" Xu Zehong asked curiously.

Zhang Jing took out a peanut-shaped iron meteorite from his backpack and gently placed it on the table.

Xu Zehong's expression was stunned, "How can it be so big?" ”

The old man took out his white gloves and put them on, picked up the meteorite and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.

Then he took out his magnifying glass and almost pressed his eyes to it.

After looking at it for a while, Xu Hongze muttered, "Iron damaged stone, the density is high, so it is rare. ”

"How many grams can you sell for?" Zhang Jing asked with concern.

"For more details, you need to bring it to the laboratory for identification, the cost is three thousand, and you need to make up another two thousand seven;

I'll give you a detailed appraisal report, which will take about six hours, and you can pick it up before dark. ”

It's four o'clock in the afternoon, and ten o'clock it's dark, exactly six hours.

Zhang Jing readily agreed, and Xu Zehong had a good reputation and credibility in the treasure industry in Western Xinjiang.

If the things he has identified are true, they can often be sold for half a percent more price.

The meteorite was handed over to Xu Zehong, Zhang Jing was shopping in the night market nearby, passing by the haggis snack stall that he had visited many times before, and he thought of Xiao Jing with emotion, talking about his girlfriend for half a year, usually holding it in his hand for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting.

If it weren't for Li Mingcheng's inform, Zhang Jingwan would never have believed that Xiao Jing rode a donkey to find a horse and cheated and betrayed.

The owner of the food stall is forty or fifty years old, a local, who does not have a beard, and still remembers that Zhang Jing is an old customer, and greets him warmly, "Young man, have a haggis?" ”

"Give me ten dollars." The boss was very enthusiastic, Zhang Jing was embarrassed to refuse, ten yuan is not much, it means something.

The speed was very fast, and it was cut and matched in advance, and the boss used a disposable paper bowl to weigh out ten yuan of haggis and handed it to Zhang Jing.

"Young man, I still have a daughter who doesn't have a boyfriend, you can add a VX."

"I have a girlfriend." Zhang Jing replied subconsciously.

"I remember your girlfriend, who went out for supper with another man last night, and seeing that they were very close, I thought you broke up."

It turned out that this was a kind reminder from the boss.

sighed that there are many good people in this world, Li Mingcheng reminded him by playing on the ridge, and the owner of the night snack stall turned to remind him, all for fear of hurting Zhang Jing's poor self-esteem.

"Weigh me another twenty dollars of haggis."

As he spoke, Zhang Jing pushed open the lid of the glass door of the refrigerator, took out a jar of orange Wusu from it, opened it with a snap, and raised his head to take a sip.

The owner of the night snack stall was surprised, "I thought you would be sad." ”

"Originally," Zhang Jing said in Versailles, "but I just found a five-pound piece of ironfall, and it's really hard to be sad." ”

There was not only Zhang Jing and one guest, but also five or six other people, all of whom looked at him with envy.

The owner of the night snack stall was slightly stunned, his hands hurriedly wiped on his apron, took out his mobile phone and handed it to Zhang Jing, "Come, add my daughter VX." ”
