Chapter 339: Meteorite Hunter

Chen Xing returned to the hotel after lunch, and when the front desk saw Chen Xing, he asked if he wanted to stay for another day.

That's a problem.

He came to Sweden to visit the headquarters of Hasselblad, but their headquarters was not in Stockholm, but in Gothenburg on the west coast.

Moreover, Gothenburg is not far from Norway, where Chen Xing has always wanted to go, and when the time comes, he can go directly to Norway after meeting the people from Hasselblad.

In any case, his Schengen visa allows him to travel freely to the 27 countries of the Schengen area, including Norway.

So if you want to go a little further, you can't stay in Sweden for too long.

However, Chen Xing stayed in Stockholm for another day, and in the afternoon went to see Britney's school, the Royal Swedish Institute of Technology.

He concluded...... Not as good as our school.

Although this school is a science and technology school, it follows two tracks: science and art, which can be seen from their school motto "science and art". The European school motto is usually simple and straightforward, and from the time the school was founded hundreds of years ago, the predecessors dictated what the school should take.

The Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden takes science and art as its motto, so they will develop a balance between science and art and literature.

The École Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, with the motto of 'freedom of education, independent research', gives students full freedom, and never makes any rules for students in thought, which makes the top designers of their school never break down.

But Chen Xing personally thinks that the domestic school motto has a taste.

He likes the sentence 'Raising the righteousness of heaven and earth, the law of ancient and modern perfection' This is what Chen Xing saw at Soochow University when he was traveling in Suzhou, and he has always thought it is very beautiful, so that he can remember it completely for so long in the past, and he has not forgotten a word.

The main campus of KTH was once the hunting ground of the Swedish royal family, and the scenery is quite good, but now it has become a park where locals often come and go.

There are a lot of old red brick buildings, bronze statues, fountains and so on, which is very nice from the perspective of a classical park.

But it's a school.

One of Chen Xing's favorite things to study in Paris is to take pictures in the garden downstairs with his camera, which is a common hobby of their first, second and third grade photography classes.

This quiet pleasure is simply not found in such an open school.

So as a park, Chen Xing thinks it's qualified, and he likes to hang out here, but if he is allowed to study in this school, it is really not as good as the art schools in Paris.

"Do I like high-end so much?"

Chen Xing was puzzled.

The halo of the alma mater should be.

Without making an appointment with the beautiful German student he met yesterday, Chen Xing secretly came once, and then left for Gothenburg the next day.

From the moment he stepped on the train, the scenery outside the window has been shocking Chen Xing's vision.

Emerald green hills, clear blue skies and white clouds, pink mills, windmills on the horizon.

Chen Xing has the feeling of seeing Microsoft's classic desktop.

If there is any photograph that most people have seen, it is undoubtedly the 'Bliss' on the micro-desktop desktop, which translates to happiness, with some stratus clouds and high clouds in the sky, and a wonderfully undulating hill underneath, covered with verdant grass, and a distant mountain on the right side of the picture.

I heard that the photographer was on the way home, and was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him, so he stopped in time and pressed the shutter.

Now Chen Xing can often encounter such a similar scenery in Sweden.

Unfortunately, he was on a train, so he could only take some photos through the window.

But I couldn't find a suitable composition, and it was an itch in the boots, which was not too enjoyable.

"Click......"

Erken Mathieson was annoyed by the sound of the Asian kid on the other side taking pictures all the time, he didn't sleep well last night, looked at the time, it should be almost there, so he sat up and stared at Chen Xing to take pictures, with scrutiny in his eyes.

What pictures can young people take and why are they so noisy.

Don't see anyone sleeping?

This scrutinizing gaze was not until he saw the young man's camera.

Hasselblad?

He rubbed his eyes, making sure it was the latest Hasselblad model.

Chen Xing was a little hairy by his staring.

What Huaxia people are most afraid of when they go out is to cause trouble, and Chen Xing is no exception, he took back his camera and smiled at the middle-aged man opposite.

This person is not very particular about dressing, a down jacket is shriveled and shriveled, it looks like it has been used for at least five years, and it is often washed, the color is white, it looks like a large jacket, and he has accompanied the owner through countless winds and rains.

His hair is the same as Chen Xing's, but unlike Chen Xing's clean and handsome hair, this middle-aged man's hair is brown and yellow with a little natural curls, and his greasy appearance looks like he hasn't washed it for at least a week.

Wanderers?

No, it should be someone who works outdoors for a long time.

The carriage that Chen Xing sat in was not the best, but it was not the worst, the ticket was very expensive, and the wanderer would not have such a casual expression even if he went out to take this kind of carriage once in a while, and it seemed that he didn't care about the money of the ticket at all.

His smile still played a little role, and the person opposite reluctantly smiled, and then took out his package.

Chen Xing stopped taking pictures, turned off the camera and looked at him.

What are you trying to show yourself?

When Chen Xing had such a thought in his heart, Chen Xing saw that he took out a Hasselblad camera that was exactly the same as Chen Xing from a bag without protection.

Wang Defa?

Chen Xing's pupils contracted violently, and his eyes widened, as if he had suddenly adjusted from the aperture of F4 to F16.

Do you have that too?

Is Hasselblad a civilian camera in Sweden?

One for each person?

Chen Xing looked at the camera for a while and looked at the person for a while, as if he had lost the organ that made his voice, so he went back and forth several times before he asked, "X2D?" ”

"Yes, it looks like yours."

The models are all the same, and the appearance must be the same.

He showed Chen Xing a look and put it back in his bag without protection, Chen Xing felt distressed for a while, and the camera lovers strongly condemned it Okay, the best camera for taking pictures at this stage, you just put it in your backpack so casually?

What should I do if I am grinded?

What should I do if I accidentally fall and the lens breaks?

He continued: "When I bought this camera, they said that there are very few people now, and basically they call people to get money to buy it, but you also have one, and you are taking this bus to Hasselblad in Gothenburg? ”

"Yes."

Chen Xing didn't know his identity, and nodded hesitantly to confirm.

"Then I know you, Chen Xing? Is it? Hasselblad put your picture on the wall of their store, and it was very impressive. ”

"You are?"

"I'm a meteorite hunter, Erken Mathieson, and I'm lucky to have met you here, Chen from Huaxia."

The look in his eyes when he just woke up made people feel very majestic, but now he had a feeling of familiarity, which was a little different from the Nordic people in Chen Xing's impression.

In the past two days, he has tried to take pictures and handed them to the Swedish beauties.

But half of them are you can take pictures, but please don't come to contact, and even nearly one-fifth of them will stare at you when they see you taking pictures, or turn around and not face your camera, this kind of non-cooperation ratio even makes Chen Xing think that he has returned to Huaxia.

This is something that Chen Xing has not encountered for a long time since he became a photographer.

So it's really rare to meet a Swede with whom you can talk when you meet for the first time.

"I'm happy too, but what's the profession of a meteorite hunter?" Chen Xing said.

"Chase meteorites." He laughed and said, "Did you know that there is a photography school in your photography industry called Wind Chaser? ”

Wind Chaser.

Photographer chasing a hurricane.

This genre is predominantly in the United States, because many parts of their western region are very barren, and the living conditions are similar to those in the northwest of China, and there are often hurricanes or tornadoes passing through, and the wind chasers are the ones who chase the tornadoes.

"You know, so the meteorite hunter is the photographer who chases the meteorite?"

"No, we're not photographers, we only hold our cameras for recording, and the photos we take are clearer and can be seen more clearly by showing them to the bosses who want to buy meteorites, aren't they?"

Chen Xing frowned and hesitated, and asked, "Looking for a meteorite...... Sell? ”

Erken Mathieson snapped his fingers.

"Bingou, you got it right."

Then Chen Xing was curious and said, "Then why did Hasselblad give you this camera?" What I know now is that their production is completely out of the driver's seat, and only some long-term clients and well-known photographers have a slot. ”

"Who says I'm not a regular customer?" He was a little dissatisfied when he heard Chen Xing's question, didn't he look down on him?

"I've been using Hasselblad cameras for more than a decade, and I change every new one. And even if my main business is a hunter, I can also be a photographer, and some of the photos of meteors you have seen may have been taken by me, but our industry is not very popular with you. ”

Chen Xing understands this.

You don't shoot the starry sky, you don't shoot the Milky Way, you chase those meteors every day, and you don't pay attention to composition and post-production, what do you shoot?

For those who chase the wind in the United States, many people also have this idea.

But Chen Xing didn't, he was very excited when he heard these things, and said, "Who said you don't like it?" I think it's super cool. ”

Everyone likes compliments, and Erken Mathieson has a smile on his face.

"Really?"

Chen Xing nodded.

Although the theme is the stars in the sky, Chen Xing always likes to find some things on the ground, such as buildings, mountains, and these to enrich the structure of the picture.

But if the subject is a meteor, it doesn't seem like there's a need for something on the ground to enrich the picture, right?

"You're going to Gothenburg too." Chen Xing asked.

It would be nice if it was, Chen Xing could still ask a little more about their industry over there, meteorite hunters, hunters, it sounds very handsome, not to mention that it is a new industry that he has never heard of before.

That's when he remembered his good brother.

If Zhou Peng encounters this kind of new thing, it is estimated that he will immediately learn from his teacher.

Chen Xing was a little better, but the curiosity in his heart couldn't be stopped.

"No, I went down halfway through, and there was a meteor shower from Pegasus near Halsberry recently, and I calculated the landing point, and I wanted to see if I could find a chance."

"Can meteorites be sold?"

"Of course you can, whoever picks it up belongs to whom, but the price depends on luck, some meteorites are 10,000 US dollars per gram, and some are worthless."

He told Chen Xing some of his previous experiences chasing meteorites, and Chen Xing was very yearning for it.

At this time, the train stopped at a new station, Erken Mathieson heard the sound of the station, looked at the time and said: "I have arrived at the station, it is a pleasure to meet you today, the future great photographer, Chen, we will meet again in the future." ”

With that, he picked up his bag and prepared to go out.

I don't care at all that the camera in the bag is a dream phone that everyone else wants at night.

Chen Xing hesitated as he saw that he was about to get out of the train, and hurriedly made up his mind.

"Wait! It's a good fate now. ”

He also hurriedly stood up with his backpack, took the suitcase and hurriedly chased it out, and a Swedish aunt sitting next to him said something in Swedish dissatisfied, but Chen Xing didn't understand it at all.

It's also a good thing that you don't understand at this time.

When he came out, Erken Mathieson was on the elevator and went up, and he hurried over again.

He came out of this to follow Erken Mathieson to find the meteorite, he didn't care whether the meteorite that Mr. Mathieson wanted to find this time was expensive or not, it was none of his business, but he really wanted to follow along and experience the process of chasing meteorites.

This must be a thing that will make Chen Xing regret it for ten years if he misses it.

The elevator is very slow to send people up, and there are many people, Chen Xing can't squeeze on it, so as soon as he arrived at the exit of the train station, he was dumbfounded, and the meteorite hunter seemed to have gone?

Holding the suitcase, looking around, at a loss.

Halsberg is a small Swedish town where Swedish is spoken and not as many people speak English as in the capital. Listening to the unintelligible language around him, and looking at the train station that is completely unfamiliar now, Chen Xing only then had the feeling of truly walking in a foreign country.

In the past, when I went to Paris, because the system issued French skills, Chen Xing listened to them speak French as well as he listened to his native language.

When I went to Africa, I also had a group of classmates with me.

There are only a few hundred people in their school, and there is no vicious competition, and everyone gets along very well.

Especially in the photography class of the disadvantaged majors, everyone is like a big family.

It also made Chen Xing unable to experience such a sense of powerlessness as he does now.

"Hey! Photographer boy, you're coming out for me? ”

A familiar voice sounded behind Chen Xing, and Chen Xing turned around to see Erken Mattiessen leaning against the back of the elevator.

As soon as he got on the elevator, he saw Chen Xing chasing him out of the train, and knew that he was looking for him, so he didn't leave after getting on the exit, and stopped here waiting for him.

Seeing people, Chen Xingcai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Mathieson, I want to record your star-chasing plan this time, is it okay?" ”

"Oh? Don't want meteorites? ”

Chen Xing thought for a moment......

"If it's not worth it, I want a little bit as a souvenir."

Erken Mathieson nodded, smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you, this is the first time that a professional photographer has come to record our work, welcome." ”
