Chapter 28: Antarctic Meteorites (6)
On the snowy ice, they stepped on the thick snow, deep and shallow, and walked forward. Suddenly, the ice under Fusco's feet trembled, and he let out an exclamation and fell backwards. Vico grabbed him with a quick eye, and the others quickly gathered around to help pull Fursco out of the ice.
"Thank you! It's dangerous! Fusco said in shock.
"It's so dangerous! There are a lot of dark cracks around here, so it's better for us to be careful. Vico said happily, and Brende patted Fusco on the shoulder and comforted him, "What's the welcome! We are a team, and we should take care of each other. ”
After this thrilling episode, they walked more cautiously on the ice. That's when they spotted a different kind of ice. The ice there is darker and has many strange patterns.
"Could this be the meteorite we're looking for?" Fusco asked curiously.
"Let's go over and see." Vico said, leading the way towards the ice. The others followed him closely, cautiously approaching the mysterious ice.
When they came to the ice, they found a huge circular depression in the ice, surrounded by many broken pieces of ice. Vico crouched down, looked closely at the depression, and then turned back to ask Dossy, "Dossi, is this a sign of a meteorite falling to the ground?" Dossi also squatted on the ground at this time, looked left and right, and recalled: "I'm not sure either, I've seen pictures of craters in books, and it looks like this." Hearing Dossy's words, Brende excitedly shouted, "Yay! We've found a meteorite! "Hey! Don't be too happy, Dossi just said like, we haven't seen the meteorite yet! Not sure this is the meteorite we're looking for! Lanney's words seemed to pour cold water on Brende, almost dousing Brende's excitement.
Vico nodded, agreeing with Lannieucalyptus. But he didn't want to miss any opportunity, so he said, "Hmm! Lannie said yes, but since we've found this place, let's not miss a chance, dig it first, and then look for it again! Fosko and Brende nodded in agreement, and each other took out their tools and carefully dug through the ice. The ice here is strange, and although it looks hard, it is easy to dig with an ice axe and shovel, and a large deep ice pit is quickly dug up.
As the ice gradually opened up, the mood of the crowd became more and more tense. They all knew that if it was really a crater, then there would be the meteorite they were looking for under the ice.
"Look, there's something here!" Fusco shouted suddenly, his finger pointing to the bottom of the ice pit, as if something was reflecting the sunlight. Everyone gathered around, only to see that at the bottom of the ice pit, a black object was lying quietly, it was a dark black stone, the surface was full of cracks, and at a glance it was clear that it had undergone countless baptisms of ice and fire.
"It's a meteorite!" Dossi shouted excitedly, picking up an ice axe and carefully scooping up the black object. As the ice gradually peeled away, a strangely shaped stone was revealed.
"Finally found it!" Fosco said excitedly
"Wow, this stone is so beautiful!" Brende exclaimed, and the shovel in his hand couldn't help but stop.
At that moment, they were very excited and excited.
Under Dossi's guidance, the three boys carefully moved the meteorite to the ice, and the meteorite lay quietly in the snow, the surface covered by a thin layer of ice and snow, shining with a metallic luster. Five Nemo elves surrounded the meteorite, their eyes full of curiosity and surprise. They can't help but imagine which planet the meteorite flew from and what kind of journey it went through to land on the land of Antarctica.
They carefully brushed away the snow and ice on the surface of the meteorite, revealing the true face of the meteorite. The surface of the meteorite is uneven and full of potholes of various sizes, as if it is a historical witness to the vicissitudes of a planet.
At this time, Dossi took out a notebook from her backpack and began to record the shape, size, surface characteristics and other information of the meteorite in detail. Then, with the brush he carried, he carefully depicted the appearance of the meteorite.
Brende looked a little strange from the side, and asked Lennie in a low voice, "Lennie, what is Dosie doing?" Writing so many things, it's better to move the meteorite back directly! Lannie glanced at Brende and said, "Dossi is a meteorite fan, and she likes to record meteorites in primitive ways, which is her habit. ”
Vico and Fursco were also discussing, "Versko, which star did you say this meteorite fell?" Fusco replied meaningfully, "Maybe it's the brightest one in the sky!" Vico looked up at the sky, as if searching for the star.
