Every day is one step closer to reality

After squatting all night, he only caught a small meteor. He didn't have time to use any skills, and it took a lot of effort. When he went downstairs to have breakfast, Feng Yi was in low spirits and depressed.

Compared with him, Wen Zhiyu was very excited.

Feng Yi didn't sleep all night, but Wen Zhiyu slept soundly last night. Yesterday, I ran around outside during the day and had a rich meal at night. I lay in bed at night and fell asleep without even checking my phone for a long time. I slept until dawn.

Of course, Wen Zhiyu's excitement was not due to a good sleep.

"I took a picture of a shooting star last night!"

Wen Zhiyu said excitedly to Feng Yi and Pan Weining.

The maximum period of the Perseid meteor shower has passed. Even during the maximum period, the flow this year was not large.

There are very few meteors that can be seen now, but Wen Zhiyu didn't have much hope, so he was very satisfied to be able to take one.

"The camera was on all night and I actually caught one! The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was check the camera and make a wish!"

Pan Weining was eating breakfast and didn't even raise his head when he heard his words: "Make a wish to the video captured by the camera?"

Wen Zhiyu didn't care: "It's a ritual. It would be great if I could take pictures of shooting stars every night. I don't ask too much. As long as I can take one, I will make a wish every day!"

Feng Yi asked: "Make the same wish every day?"

Wen Zhiyu laughed: "Of course not! I have too many wishes and I have no choice. One shooting star is not enough for me."

Pan Weining did not ask Wen Zhiyu about his wishes again. He noticed that Feng Yi was in low spirits and asked, "Didn't you sleep well at night?"

He was worried that Feng Yi might not be accustomed to the local environment or he would not accept the bed. Some people would find it difficult to fall asleep in a different environment.

Feng Yi: "I have something to deal with."

After hearing this reason, Pan Weining stopped asking any more questions. As long as it is not affected by the living environment.

In fact, if you think about it, Feng Yi often goes on missions, stays in the wild for a month, and can fall asleep in the wild. The living environment must not have much impact on him.

For example, in the recent supernatural incident at Fanshan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing, Feng Yi fell asleep directly on the mountain. Most people don't have the courage. Even if they have the courage, they can't accept the open-air environment on the mountain.

"Then you go to sleep for a while after breakfast?" Pan Weining said.

Feng Yi thought for a while and asked, "Has the meteorite hunter your uncle mentioned come back?"

"I'm back. I came back last night. Uncle Du just sent me a message asking if we have any arrangements."

Uncle Wei's friend, a meteorite hunter, is older than Uncle Wei. His surname is Du. He has experienced the most glorious period of Tuojia Town.

During the abnormal weather period, Uncle Du's hometown encountered a natural disaster and he fled his hometown. During that time, he happened to catch up with the meteorite craze and came to Tuojia Town to look for opportunities. Fortunately, he made a small fortune and settled in Tuojia Town.

Even if the popularity of Tuojia Town subsided, Uncle Du did not move. However, he often travels to other places for some meteorite transactions.

Unlike Uncle Wei's short-term addiction, for Uncle Du, "meteorite hunter" is already his profession, and he relies on this to make a living.

Knowing that this man had returned, Feng Yi said: "Let's go visit this meteorite hunter first. I still have some questions to ask him."

Pan Weining nodded: "Okay."

Wen Zhiyu also said: "Then I will go with you!"

After breakfast, the three of them went to Uncle Du's house.

This time Feng Yi didn't let Xiao Jia drive. Xiao Yi has already brought his team over and is negotiating with Uncle Wei's people about the deal for the meteorites. Feng Yi asked Xiao Jia to follow up on the matter.

Because several meteorites have been consumed by Feng Yi, Xiao Jia needs to explain the details when the two teams are making records and detailed agreements.

Feng Yi and the other three drove to Uncle Du's house. Unlike Uncle Wei's deserted living atmosphere, Uncle Du and his entire family lived here.

After seeing Uncle Du's family, Uncle Du took the three of them to his work warehouse.

Uncle Du often runs outside, so his skin is slightly tanned, his face has deep wrinkles, his figure is not stooped, and he is full of energy. He looks like a swordsman who has been walking in the world for many years.

When facing Feng Yi and the others, Uncle Du was very kind, but when talking about things related to meteorites, he occasionally showed his sharp side.

Knowing that Feng Yi was interested in meteorites, Uncle Du showed them his collection and patiently explained the origins of these meteorites and the story behind them about hunting for stars.

Uncle Du collects meteorites for trading purposes, not for the purpose of collecting like Uncle Wei, so there are not as many meteorites placed here as there are in Uncle Wei's warehouse.

"If you like it, pick it up as soon as possible. In a few days, I will transfer the remaining batch of stones to two buyers. They mainly make craft products and want to buy a batch of meteorites for processing."

Feng Yi nodded. Uncle Du didn't have many meteorites here, and there weren't any big ones. They had probably been traded out long ago, but they were indeed genuine.

"Buy them all," Feng Yi said.

Uncle Du, who was about to show them his homemade handicrafts, shook his hands and almost shook the things off his hands. He quickly recovered, with a sincere and enthusiastic smile on his face, and immediately invited Feng Yi to the tea room for discussion. High-end tea leaves stolen from others.

In terms of price, although it won't be as discounted as Uncle Wei's, it's still much lower than what's on the market. Moreover, seeing Feng Yi's bold move, Uncle Du thought that for the long term, he could make some concessions on the price.

When it came to bulk transactions, Feng Yi left it to Xiao Yi and the others, while he only discussed a few key issues with Uncle Du.

If one party sincerely wants to buy and the other party wants to sell, the deal can be negotiated quickly.

After talking about the meteorite trade, Uncle Du was in a good mood. Knowing that several of the young people were curious about meteorite hunting, Uncle Du said: "Actually, it also depends on luck. Sometimes we go out looking for a few days and can't find a real piece. Hunter meteorite is very tiring. Yes, there are some meteorites that are not exposed on the ground and have to be dug down. The detector can only detect those meteorites with high metal content and density. It has no response to other meteorites and can only be used as an auxiliary tool."

Wen Zhiyu has also looked for meteorites before, and knows how difficult it is. Hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if a big bolide landed here. We can follow its trajectory to find meteorites!"

Bolides are larger, emit brighter light when they fall into the atmosphere, and may cause airbursts.

If the meteor that Feng Yi saw last night was at the level of a small shrimp, then the bolide was a big fish.

Feng Yi also wanted to see bolide, but it was not something he could see just by looking.

Uncle Du listened to Wen Zhiyu's words and smiled: "Even if you see a bolide, it's not easy to find its landing point. Think about it, the meteor falls so fast, more than ten kilometers per second, which is less than one second. The change in position will be very large. Unless there is a professional organization to measure and provide data, it will be like finding a needle in a haystack. Or it may be extremely large and the impact marks are obvious, or it may impact an area with people and there are witnesses. But these two pairs of It’s not a good thing for residents.”

Wen Zhiyu scratched his head: "Oh, I don't expect to be able to find it, I just want to have experience in this area."

Uncle Du smiled and said: "Then you have to hope that there will be a bolide passing over our area, and the crash site will be closer. It won't work if it's too far away. I don't know how many provinces it will span."

Feng Yi thought: I look forward to it too.

I haven't mastered my skills yet!

Scanning the warehouse, Feng Yi saw an open sack placed in the corner.

"Is that a fake meteorite inside?"

Wen Zhiyu looked at where Feng Yi was pointing, walked closer quickly, took two pieces from it and looked closer, with a look of surprise on his face: "Uncle Du, are these all fake? I think they are almost the same as real meteorites, better than us It’s even more realistic than what I saw in the Gobi Desert on the edge of town!”

Uncle Du also glanced at Feng Yi with some surprise. He originally thought that Feng Yi belonged to the category of "foolish people with a lot of money", but he didn't expect that Feng Yi could be so far away and see the authenticity of these stones at a glance without using any tools!

"Those are all fake meteorites. Some of them were tricked by others who wanted to trick me during the meteorite trade. There are also some that I helped people identify and brought back because others didn't want them."

Wen Zhiyu exclaimed: "Is the meteorite forgery technology so good? These details are simply better than what I have seen before!"

Uncle Du sneered: "Then you may not have met a master. When it comes to counterfeiting, he has no real skills, and the powerful copycat gangs are not willing to take him to play! Don't underestimate the world's copycat counterfeiting abilities!"

Wen Zhiyu: "So, when buying meteorites, you still have to ask an expert to check them, as fraud is seriously involved!"

After talking about the meteorite, they left Uncle Du's house and Uncle Du was with them.

Uncle Wei had already told Uncle Du that Feng Yi wanted to buy land here. Having lived here for more than thirty years, Uncle Du has not only a thorough understanding of this town, but he is still quite familiar with it.

Uncle Du gave Feng Yi some suggestions and told Feng Yi the inside story about some land parcels.

Because he had just negotiated a deal with Feng Yi, Uncle Du actively provided information so that Feng Yi could have more reference.

Over the next nearly a week, Feng Yi and Xiao Yi's professional team inspected and analyzed Tuojia Town, and finally determined a plot of land and purchased it directly.

In the future, another important foothold will be built here. This remote town is very suitable for Feng Yi to practice his meteorite skills.

The two meteorite transactions have been completed and the land has been purchased. Xiao B's team does not need to stay here all the time, and they will not start construction immediately. The design drawings have not been released yet.

Xiao Yi left with his people, and Wen Zhiyu and Pan Weining also planned to return to Beijing.

For many days, the bolide that Feng Yi expected did not appear.

In the past few days, ordinary small meteors have been seen several times, but those are "little fish" level that quickly burn to ashes in the atmosphere. They are of little use to Feng Yi in practicing his skills. At most, they are just for training his aiming and positioning speed.

The probability of bolide appearing everywhere on the planet is the same. Based on the total number of occurrences, it is not very rare and may occur every day.

However, there are some places that are not encountered once in hundreds of years.

Anyway, it was not observed in this area.

"Don't force it, you will always meet it."

The night before Feng Yi decided to leave with Pan Weining and the others, a "big fish" approached the atmosphere.
