Meteorite hunters are a new industry, in recent years, scientific research and economic strength, collectors and scientific research institutions in various countries have increased the purchase price, only after people have joined this small circle, dreaming of finding a gram of 10,000 US dollars meteorite overnight.

One gram and ten thousand, as long as this meteorite can be found, a multimillionaire or billionaire is born.

Although the odds are low, they are no longer than the odds of winning the lottery.

It wasn't that there were no people before, but there were very few people.

Well, now also less.

Although Chen Xing is young, he can be regarded as a well-informed person, but it is the first time he has heard of a meteorite hunter, and even the first time he finds a meteorite, he can sell it for money.

No matter how big a city in Sweden is, whether it is Stockholm or a third-tier small city, the streets seem to look similar, but there are fewer beautifully decorated brand stores, and the design of the street shops is very simple, but with the Nordic filter, Chen Xing doesn't think it's too ugly.

It is......

It's so uncomfortable not to understand what people around me are saying!

His language learning ability is very good, he has been in Western Xinjiang for a period of time and knows some simple Uyghur, if he also lives in Sweden for ten days and eight days, he may be able to speak a few words of Swedish, but this is not no time, he has only been in the country for two days, and listening to the locals is like listening to ghost language.

In this environment, Chen Xing didn't dare to photograph people with a camera, so he could only take pictures of buildings.

This small city gives Chen Xing the feeling that there are few cars.

At least the road he saw when he walked out of the train station was a completely pedestrian street, and although there were traffic signs on the ground, it was basically people walking on it, and occasionally young people drove balance bikes or rode bicycles slowly down the road.

patted an ugly cat with a beautiful coat but an ugly face in the window, and after putting down the camera, Chen Xing teased it a little, and turned around Erken Mathieson and walked a long way.

Hurriedly chased it.

"Mr. Mathiessen......"

"Just call me Erken, I'm not used to people calling me sir, I'm still very young."

He smiled at Chen Xing, and his steps did not slow down.

Chen Xing was as kind as a stream, and said, "Nalken, how long have you been in contact with meteorites?" ”

"I studied meteorites with my uncle when I was 16 years old, and now I ...... Eleven years, right? ”

Chen Xing quickly calculated in his heart, 16+11, Naerken is only 27 years old this year?

I can't see it, Chen Xing always thought that he was in his thirties!

"Eleven years? That's amazing! ”

"I'm not great, I know there are a couple of guys in the U.S. who live outdoors 10 months a year, and they're the ones who are crazy about meteorites. Alas, the Americas are such a good place, so many meteorites fall on the Americas every year. ”

He also looked at Chen Xing and said, "Huaxia is a big country and there are many meteorites, but I haven't heard of any more famous Chinese meteorite hunters. ”

"Maybe our meteorite belongs to the country?"

"No, only the meteorites that fall in Australia are stipulated to belong to their country, and other continents do not have such regulations, but they have to pay a tax of 20 to 30 percent."

Chen Xing looked at the navigation, this route should go to the station.

He asked, "How many days will it take us to find the meteorite this time?" ”

"How many days? That's not good, it's possible that the meteorite just landed right in front of us, or it may be found for ten days and half a month, or even several months, this kind of thing can't be said, anyway, let's go over and take a look. After speaking, he smiled at Chen Xing, "We haven't had a meteor shower in Sweden for a long time, this time the scale is relatively large, if you like it, you should be able to take good photos." ”

Meteor showers don't just fall in the same place, they all say it's rain, then there must be a lot of debris.

Whether these fragments can fall to the ground is not certain.

Most of them will burn up in the atmosphere, and a few will end up on the ground, enough for meteorite hunters to be ecstatic to chase this wave of meteor showers.

And the location could be in Sweden or in other countries in Europe.

Erken Mathieson came to Halsberg after his own calculations, and how to calculate is his own unique skill, which is not suitable for Chen Xing. Companions who travel together are just companions, not mentors.

Chen Xingxin said that he would stay for ten days at most.

If you can't find him for ten days, you can't do anything, and then you have to go to Hasselblad, and you can't waste a three-month visa just to find a meteorite.

Buy a ticket at the station and board the train.

This car is supposed to be long-distance? Chen Xing saw that the decoration inside the bus was very luxurious, the air conditioner didn't feel cold when it was turned on, and there was no smell, and the gap between the front and rear seats was very large, although it could not be directly poured down and lying down, but it could also be put to 130 degrees without affecting the passengers sitting in the back.

Erken got in the car and fell asleep soon after.

He seems to have a talent for sleeping on any means of transportation, and he slept on the train for a long time before, until he was almost at the station, when he woke up because Chen Xing kept taking pictures of the scenery outside the window, and now he fell asleep again on the bus.

Chen Xing was a little nervous, his heart was not so big, and he could sleep peacefully in an unfamiliar environment.

Moreover, Erken Mathieson is really not afraid of the camera being stolen.

His old-looking backpack is on the shelf, and if someone gets out of the car and pulls it away, is Sweden so safe? Why does Chen Xingcha's data show that Sweden has the highest crime rate among the Nordic countries?

Fortunately, no one was interested in Erken's bag along the way.

Chen Xing would not get motion sickness in such a tasteless environment, but looking at his watch and the sky, his face was a little worried.

said that he was going to a small town for a night, but the place where the car was going was getting more and more remote, and ice and snow began to appear sporadically around him, and Chen Xing even saw a snow-covered mountain at the top in the distance.

It was a long time before the car stopped in a small town called Sweig.

After getting off the bus, you can't see the sky, the clouds are thick, there is a depressing feeling that it is about to rain heavily, the houses on the street are very low, at most two floors, and then there is an attic, which is the room where the boys live in many European and American film and television dramas. Chen Xing lived in this kind of attic when he was traveling in the Kanas scenic area in western Xinjiang.

Although the area is small and the ceiling is still weird, there is a sense of security in it.

If there is enough room in the house, Europeans and Americans like to use this attic to store sundries, but even then it is only a roof, and the house as a whole is not high.

This sky, this building, makes Chen Xing feel like he is in Tibet.

Tibet is also a little denser than the buildings of the holy city, and the streets of other cities are very wide, and there is not much traffic, which looks a little similar to the style of Northern Europe.

"Let's find a place to stay." Chen Xing said.

After getting off at a place, the first thing to find a hotel is a habit he has developed after traveling for so long, if you are slow to find a hotel in China, then you can only increase the price, or go to a farther place to find accommodation, and you have to walk farther to see the scenery when you get up the next day.

"No hurry...... Forget it, there are too many things, let's find a hotel first. ”

Chen Xing: "......"

He had just bought a few clothes in Sweden, and now his suitcase was about to burst, and he was carrying a genuine travel backpack printed with the National Geographic Indication, which was very large, and it was always inconvenient to carry it on his back, even if Chen Xing was not tired.

Not everyone travels like Erken, with less clothes, and no need to take care of their hair and beard.

Well, Erken is work, not travel.

The hotel is easy to find, this ghost place does not have many foreign tourists, after getting off the car a little on the deserted street walked, soon saw a hotel with lights on, go in and ask, more than a dozen rooms in the hotel are optional, and there are two rooms to live in.

Chen Xing wanted to help Erken pay together, but Erken didn't let him, and in the end he paid his own money.

When he went upstairs, Erken frowned and said, "Why are there still outsiders coming here at this time?" Wouldn't it be a peer? ”

Chen Xingzheng was going upstairs, he was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and responded: "Maybe?" ”

"No, no, I brought you to Sweig to have the best vantage point to see the meteor shower, but this is not the best vantage point, no one else will come, maybe just passing by."

Chen Xing said: "Look at the meteor shower? It's going to rain here, huh? ”

"Then we can only say that we are unlucky, I originally wanted you to take a few pictures of the meteor shower, and better to take a few pictures of me too, when the time comes, I have not been a meteorite hunter for so many years. When I go home, I can also show my wife and children the photos of me by top photographers. ”

"You're married?"

"I ...... Isn't that normal? ”

“……”

After finding the room and putting the things away, Chen Xing opened the window and poked his head out to take a closer look at the sky.

It was supposed to be a shower, and it wouldn't be for long.

I don't know exactly when the meteor shower will come, but if it comes a little later, maybe the showers will have already passed, and the sky that has rained by then may be better than normal...... This is a meteor shower, Chen Xing hasn't taken a photo for two years.

The main thing is that I don't have the awareness to shoot this thing, otherwise I can still find some meteor showers in China every year to shoot.

Chen Xing remembered that this was Northern Europe, and if he went a little further north, he might be able to see the scene of meteor showers and aurora appearing in the sky at the same time.

After confirming that it was a shower, Chen Xing went over and knocked on the door of Erken's room, and it took a long time before it opened, and he asked in his bathrobe:

"What's wrong?"

"When exactly does the meteor shower come? It's a shower, and it won't be in the next hour or two. ”

Erken tilted his head with a puzzled expression:

"How do you know it's a shower?"

"Isn't that easy?"

Chen Xing wanted to say that this is all his long-term travel experience, and the more places he goes, it will naturally depend on the weather.

But it soon became clear that something was wrong.

This ability seems to have appeared suddenly at some point, and he didn't look at it before, only knowing that it would rain during the day when there were many dark clouds, and there were no clouds in the sky, or when there were few clouds, it would be a sunny day, and he could naturally find the Milky Way without using star finder software.

Chen Xing didn't speak, and quickly flipped through the skills of the system.

Astronomer!

, when did I have this skill?

He almost forgot about it, after all, this skill was really useless, and it was only slightly useful when shooting the starry sky. And looking up to know what the name of a certain bright star is, who found it and when, but other than that, this skill has no effect on his life at all.

"I learned it with a teacher!"

"Oh?"

Erken Mathieson was skeptical, he knew how to recognize the value of meteorites, and he knew how to observe the final arrival point from the attitude of the meteor shower, but this was all his uncle's oral experience, and he did not know much about the weather, constellations, etc.

However, he still answered Chen Xing's words.

"Today is the day of the peak of the Pegasids, which can be seen with the naked eye in the Östersund region, which is not far from us, and it will be about ......the early hours of the morning," he thought, touching his chin. There may be a deviation of about an hour, but no later than one o'clock in the morning. ”

"The rain must have passed." Chen Xing said.

He was still wondering why he was suddenly interested in meteorites, but it turned out to be a professional counterpart.

If you think about it carefully, he also has a lot of knowledge about the types of meteorites in his mind, and he also has relevant skills on how to observe and find them, but if there is no introduction to guide this knowledge, it will not suddenly emerge from his brain.

It's like when you were beaten by your parents when you were a child, of course you remember this kind of picture, but you can't suddenly remember it for no reason, right?

Slowly returning to the room, Chen Xing bowed his head all the way and was silent.

After entering the house, he snapped his palms together and said secretly...... Then I can be a meteorite hunter myself?

Perhaps, perhaps, the expertise in his mind is richer than Erken?

Anyway, the Pegasid meteor shower that can be seen in the Nordic region this time is the star that Erken chases, and Chen Xing will definitely not interfere, just like Chen Xing himself said, he just wants to be a recorder and take a picture of how the profession of meteorite hunter exists.

As for whether it will attract a group of young people in China to stop working and go to 'chase stars' every day because of his videos, Chen Xing can't care about it.

Although Erken said that there are no famous meteorite hunters in China, it does not mean that there are none.

There are smart people everywhere in Huaxia, maybe people just secretly get rich and don't want to make a noise?

After all, even if the meteorite found is not a gram of 10,000 US dollars, as long as it exceeds 500 Huaxia coins per gram, it will be worth more than gold.

After a while, the rain was pouring and falling with thunder.

The wind was not too strong, so Chen Xing opened the window, moved a chair and sat at the window looking at the dark sky.

The rain ran like silk threads through the incandescent lamp that illuminated the roof.

The universe is really magical, Chen Xing thought in his heart.

He was now recalling the knowledge contained in the skill of astronomer, and at that time he felt that it was useless, so he did not delve into it. But now I know that if used well, this is by far the most profitable skill he has made.

Just find a meteorite that fell from the sky......

Chen Xing's fingers kept tapping on the armrest of the wooden chair gently and rhythmically, thinking about chasing stars, which made him feel very romantic.

This time, I will follow Mr. Mathieson to see how he does it, and in the future, sooner or later, I will find a meteorite of my own.
