After walking into the forest, Erken took a stick from his backpack.

The stick was white and looked hollow, and it was light to pick up, a bit like a blind man's cane, but there was a small electromagnet-like device at the very front of the ground.

Chen Xing could calculate the landing point of the meteorite, but he was very unfamiliar with these equipment, and asked, "Such a small magnet can also work?" ”

Erken Mathieson snorted proudly and said, "You don't understand this, electromagnets, don't look at such a small piece, but magnetic force is not comparable to ordinary magnets." And I didn't rely on him to absorb anything, I just felt the magnetic force from the meteorite. ”

Whew, got it.

Pretty much the same as the previous clearance mines.

Chen Xing watched videos on the Internet and saw the previous mine clearance, and now looking at Erken Mathieson's cautious appearance, the more he watched, the more he felt like it, and laughed twice.

Erken doesn't miss a stone, not even if it doesn't look like a meteorite at all.

Meteorites should be black after being burned in the atmosphere, but Erken doesn't care if it's a black stone or not, as long as it's a stone, he has to use an electromagnet to probe it.

"Don't think I'm bothering to do this." Erken said to Chen Xing, "Although the meteorite is black, we all know it, but what if the meteorite that fell many years ago is also in this place?" After so many years of oxidation, it will become the same as the surrounding stones, and this oxidation time is very short, and then it is not much different from the surrounding stones, so if we are lucky, we can still find meteorites that have fallen before. ”

The birth of the earth is too long for human beings, and I don't know how many meteorites have fallen from the sky.

With the passage of time, it only takes a few thousand years for meteorites to become the earth's native material, no different from the pebbles you see casually, maybe there is a stone in the fountain pool in the street park that once came from space, this is not certain.

But, of course, meteorites that are not so old also exist.

A lot of meteorites fall to the earth every year, and meteorite hunters are a new profession that has only appeared in the last ten years, how can it be possible to find all the meteorites on the earth.

There is no record of the meteorites that fell in the early years at all.

So, that's when you have to try your luck.

Erken continued to tell Chen Xing the story: "I used to hear of a garbage guy who sat on a fishing boat every day, using a fishing rod to connect an electromagnet to hunt for treasure in the sea, and most of the time he couldn't make ends meet, but he caught exploration equipment left over from the two wars, as well as a six-kilogram iron meteorite, which was bought by their country for $300 a gram. ”

Six kilograms is six kilograms, three hundred and one grams.

One million million dollars?

Is this still a garbage guy? What garbage guy makes so much money?

In the past two days, I really know a lot of strange industries, meteorite hunter Chen Xing can understand, after all, whether it is a collector or used for research, meteorites from the sky will not lack buyers, and now even the marine garbage guy has come out.

Catch something of value and make more than I can take pictures for a year.

Abuses.

It was getting dark, and the three hours of walking around the forest had no effect at all, and Chen Xingdu wondered in his heart if he had miscalculated? But reason told him that it was not, and that finding a few rocks in such a vast place was not as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, but in the end it was about the same.

Erken straightened up and straightened his waist, picked up the branches around him to make a fire, and said to Chen Xing, "Why don't you go back to the town before to rest?" I might have slept in the wilderness at night. ”

"It's a village, but there's no place to rest." Chen Xing said.

When he got out of the car, he observed that there were no hotels, not even shops, only houses for people to live in.

You said that there are at least a few mahjong rooms or commissaries in rural China, but there is no such thing in rural Europe, and if you want to buy something, you can only drive to a bigger town, not to mention Sweden, Paris is like this.

"Then I'm going to have to work hard for you......"

Erken hadn't thought of this before, otherwise he wouldn't have entered this forest from that small village.

Look around a little and you'll definitely find bigger towns.

"It's okay." Chen Xing said.

Anyway, Erken has a tent, so it's a big deal to sleep overnight and see how it goes tomorrow.

Erken will definitely not leave here in the past few days, Chen Xing can see from his actions, in these three hours, this person's eyes are like fire, and he will not give up until he finds the meteorite, but Chen Xing has prepared too few things, and he may not be able to withstand a few days and nights in the wild.

Chen Xing took some bread and yogurt from the bag, and the two of them ate separately, which was considered dinner.

There was movement in the distance, and the light of the flashlight was constantly flickering.

Who is it?

Chen Xing became vigilant.

"Relax, it's the other meteorite hunters." Erken said calmly.

It wasn't the first time he'd encountered such a situation.

The people over there saw that there was a fire here, and the light of the flashlight gradually came towards this side, and soon Chen Xing saw a figure wearing a yellow jacket, with typical Germanic features on his face, and he laughed when he saw Erken.

"Aha, it's little Mattheison!"

Erken was brought into this industry by his uncle, because the circle of meteorite hunters is very small, and the folk meteorite hunters are basically in the same vein, so Erken's uncle is Big Mattiessen, and his name is only Little Mattheison.

"What are you going to do?"

"It's cold, come and roast the fire."

The man sat down in front of the fire, and then said in the tone that he had just discovered Chen Xing, "Who is this?" Your students? ”

"No, it's a photographer who wants to document our lives."

“No！ Photographer? You're not sick, are you? ”

He didn't target Chen Xing, but leaned towards Erken with a sense of oppression and said, "Are you going to post a video related to our profession?" Let a group of ordinary people also come to compete with us for money? What do you think, isn't it true that the fewer people in the way, the better? ”

"People who don't have a foundation can't find a place where the meteorite lands."

"The power of money is endless, Mattiessen Jr." He looked at Chen Xing, who was dazed, and continued to say to Erken Mathieson, "I know you want to be famous, you want to surpass your uncle, but you can't be famous in the form of pushing us to the public, you are betraying us. ”

"I didn't think about it that way." Erken Mathieson said in a low tone.

Chen Xing saw his expression and became even more confused.

Is this a quarrel?

It's not quite like it.,One-sided reprimand is pretty much the same.,Who is this B person?,Look at my eyes so fierce.。

Fortunately, he stood up, still said something in words that Chen Xing didn't understand, and then stretched his meteorite probe stick and walked away, and still had time to turn around and show disdain to Chen Xing and Erken Mathieson.

Good gas.

The fists clenched.

I have the ability to speak English and French!

Damn.

Chen Xing asked in a seemingly indifferent tone, "Who is he?" What did you say? ”

"Didn't say anything."

Erken Mathiessen shook his head, took a few bites of whole wheat bread, and said, "He is also a Dane, one of the best meteorite hunters in Northern Europe at the moment, and if he is here, it means that my calculations are correct, and the meteorite must have landed in this area." ”

"You quarreled with him?"

Chen Xing continued to ask, he was really curious, and if he didn't know the reason, he wouldn't be able to sleep.

"Nope."

Erken Mathieson thought about it, but decided to tell Chen Xing, saying:

He thinks that the meteorite hunter industry should be hidden in a small circle, after all, as long as the landing location of the meteorite is calculated, our job can be replaced by a farmer, and at most find a special person to identify what these farmers find."

Meteorite hunters, the threshold of this industry is high and high, and low is low, but for the value of meteorites, this threshold can be said to be negligible.

Chen Xing finally knew why they were arguing.

He said, "I understand you, but what do you think? ”

Chen Xing took a lot of photos on this trip, and the travel camera was always there.

If Erken needs it, then Chen Xing will still make him a meteorite hunter video as agreed, it just so happens that his career video has not been updated for a long time, and the latest issue of his profession is still a geographical surveyor, how long ago was it.

"I don't know."

Erken let out a long sigh.

Fortunately, Chen Xing couldn't understand what Marico said, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

He really wanted to be a better meteorite hunter out of his uncle's influence, and wanted to prove to him that he could still be on his own after he retired, chasing the prettiest star in the sky, and becoming the best in the industry.

Chen Xing is a well-known photographer in the world today, not to mention his photos, even his YouTube account has more than 2 million followers.

If you post a video of a meteorite hunter, it can really push the industry to the forefront.

When the time comes, the name you get will be ......

It may be a good name for ordinary people, but for people who are already in this industry, there is a lot of infamy, right?

could have made a fortune secretly, but now there are more competitors, not to mention, and let others know that they are rich.

I took a few bites of bread and poured half a bottle of yogurt.

After chewing, Erken made a decision.

"I'm sorry not to post the video."

"No, I'm not here with you to find a meteorite to post a video, just to satisfy my personal curiosity, don't be sorry. Also, I don't want too many people to know the value of meteorites, I like to keep it a secret......"

He himself has to be a vested interest, so there is no need to smash his own job.

Chen Xing never thought that he was a good person, he could give away the gold that was originally hidden, who knows if the gold will be his own in the future?

Maybe he won't have any interest in meteorites in the future, so he may make a video, or use some other way to reveal the industry.

But not now.

At night, the two slept in an outdoor tent, and the only sleeping bag was given to Chen Xing, Chen Xing really couldn't get rid of using this sleeping bag, which made him sleep well this night, and in the morning he got up in addition to a little pain in his neck, and he was not mentally tired at all.

The fire outside the tent was filled with firewood, and the crackling sound brought warmth to the surroundings, and Erken's bag was still outside, but the people didn't know where they had gone.

Washed up?

Chen Xing took out a packet of mouthwash in his bag, which was much better than a toothbrush and toothpaste outdoors. By the way, I took a little bread out of my backpack and baked it, and the bag of whole wheat bread I bought on the road yesterday was almost finished after a day's work.

It was about nine o'clock when Chen Xing saw Erken running towards Chen Xing excitedly with a stone.

Found a meteorite?

Chen Xing was also very excited, staring at the black stone he was holding in his hand, and when he came over, he asked, "Is this a meteorite?" ”

"Yes!"

He didn't bother to greet Chen Xing, his eyes were bloodshot, but he was full of energy.

"Look, this black is the molten shell of a meteorite, you should know that meteorites are burned and worn when they fall from the sky, right? Only a few points can fall on the earth. ”

"Yes."

Chen Xing must know these foundations, but Erken only treats Chen Xing as a novice.

He took the found meteorite to Chen Xing and asked him to take a closer look.

This is a meteorite the size of an old machine, a bit of a cylindrical feeling, not heavy, there is definitely no iron element in it, and it is lighter than stones of the same size.

It is estimated to be only 60 grams.

In the case that he can't say his core knowledge, Erken is happy to teach Chen Xing about the identification of meteorites.

"A meteorite falls on the earth, and it only takes a few years for him to look like the surrounding rocks, and my uncle used to tell me that this is a meteorite where the elves hide, and there are spirits. This kind of newly fallen meteorite has this black or dark brown shell, but it is not enough to just look at it black, there are fine cracks on it, just like the cracks on your Huaxia porcelain, it looks like a crack, but it is not actually ......"

"I can't cut this meteorite, if I can find a stone shop, I can ask them to do the cutting. The incision should be visible inside without weathering, and the inside is white. In the case of an ordinary chondrite, you will immediately see uniform silver particles scattered on the exposed surface, which is a special alloy that is not very valuable, but the incision is very ornamental. ”

"It's peculiar." Chen Xing said.

Of course, he knew this knowledge, and after preliminary observations, it should be an ordinary chondrite meteorite.

But in the absence of an instrument inspection, even Chen Xing couldn't really be sure.

Holding it in your hand, there is a feeling that makes your heart beat faster, and this feeling does not come from nowhere, maybe it is the longing for the sky in the depths of human genes?

He returned the meteorite to Erken and said, "Congratulations. ”

Because the discovery of a meteorite proves that there are more meteorites scattered around, if it is a small piece after the disintegration of that basketball-sized meteorite, then there may be dozens of meteorites around, which is a very good start, and it is worth a word of congratulations.

But Erken was reluctant to reach for the meteorite, and said, "No, no, no, don't give it to me, this stone is for you." ”
