Every day is one step closer to reality

The meteorite hunters, who had been chatting and laughing in a harmonious atmosphere just now, were now at war with each other.

A small and powerful group will occupy the area that they like, forcefully drive others away, and occupy that area.

Of course, these meteorite hunters did not move where Feng Yi and the others were. The label of the UN Security Bureau on Feng Yi was still very scary. At the same time, the meteorite hunters also gave this expert some respect.

The other meteorite hunters who were driven aside were not idle. They quickly searched in other areas. They thought that the small black spots in the sand might be meteorite debris, so they shoveled a layer of sand and put it into a bag. Maybe there were small ones inside. The stone is it!

Not to mention the group of well-equipped senior "air force", Pan Weining and Wen Zhiyu were both dumbfounded, and Feng Yi himself remained silent for a long time.

Feng Yi: I always feel that things are developing in a strange direction.

Wen Zhiyu was stunned for a while before saying:

“It’s almost like gold mining!”

"How much worse do you think this is than gold?" Pan Weining said, "If what Feng Yi discovered is proven to be true, this gadget is no cheaper than gold!"

Wen Zhiyu murmured: "I'll go! Is this the legendary Lie Yun!"

"...Should we shovel some too?" Pan Weining looked at Feng Yi.

Wen Zhiyu has already made a decision: "Let's shovel some, too. We've been here for so long, we can't go back empty-handed!"

No matter what you do, don’t come back empty-handed. This is Wen Zhiyu’s style of doing things.

He ran to the car to dig out the bag, picked up his tools and was about to get out of the car. When he thought of something, Wen Zhiyu suddenly came back and asked Xiao Jia who was guarding the car:

"Do you think what your boss found is real?"

Xiao Jia said seriously: "My boss said it is true, then it must be true!"

"Boss You only said it was possible."

"That's certainly possible."

"...Forget it, there's no point in asking you."

Wen Zhiyu turned and left. The driver's answer was just because Feng Yi was his boss. No matter what he asked, the answer always tended to be his boss.

After running back with bags and tools, Wen Zhiyu handed Pan Weining a bag and a small shovel, and asked Feng Yi, "Are we going to dig here?"

Feng Yi sensed that there were indeed particles here and said: "Just shovel here, and over there..."

Feng Yi raised his hand to draw a circle, and two figures swooped past him. They are two meteorite hunters who have been paying attention to Feng Yi.

Wen Zhiyu picked up the shovel and was about to fight for it, but Feng Yi held him back:

"It's not just this place. There's no need to waste time fighting for it."

Wen Zhiyu thought about it, and it was right. If a stone as big as a bolide exploded, the meteorite particles must be scattered over a large area, how could they be only in such a small place.

"Go a little further ahead." Feng Yi said.

"Okay, point me to where I will shovel, just tell me quietly, don't say it out loud!"

As he spoke, Wen Zhiyu turned his head and looked back.

Seeing this, he said unhappily: "Those followers are here again!"

It's that small group of "air force" who are well-equipped but not technically capable.

Continuing to walk forward for a while, Wen Zhiyu looked back after a while.

"There are more followers!"

Not only those well-equipped "air force", but also those meteorite hunters.

Obviously, everyone believes that Feng Yi, the "expert of the Joint Security Bureau", has unique insight.

Feng Yi didn't care about the group of people following him, and pointed out a few locations to Wen Zhiyu and Pan Weining.

While the two were busy, Feng Yi also saw Xiao Jia taking a jar out to shovel sand.

"You want it too?"

"No, the housekeeper asked me to bring him a jar of sand back." Xiao Jia said.

Feng Yi thought for a while and went back to the car to get an empty can.

He did not shovel the sand, but took the small can and picked up some black particles on the ground as he walked.

He picked up the slightly larger particles and ignored the finer and smaller ones.

Wherever Feng Yi walked, someone would soon shovel away the layer of sand and gravel on the ground.

When Feng Yi filled up the empty cans, Wen Zhiyu also shoveled three full bags. He was so tired that he was sweating, but he felt very accomplished.

The three large bags of sand and gravel were screened by Wen Zhiyu. There were a lot of sand with small black particles in them. He didn't know whether it was a meteorite or not, so he would shovel it back first.

Wen Zhiyu gasped: "Let's just shovel these for now. The meteorites are scattered over a wide area. Even if we pick them up for a day, we will only cover a small area. What's the plan next?"

Feng Yi said: "Go back first and send this for testing."

Wen Zhiyu agreed: "Yes, test first! I always worry about not getting the results."

Pan Weining thought the same way: "Let's go along the highway on the way back. The distance is a bit longer, but there is internet."

Several people packed up and returned.

Because Team Leader Yuan specifically mentioned it before, Feng Yi sent a message there when the Internet was available.

Another part of the desert.

People from the Special Investigation Team of the Federal Security Bureau and the Security Department are looking at a newly collected sand and dust sample.

In addition to here, several other regions have also sent people to collect sand and dust samples.

"I wonder if there are any fragments of the bolide in the dust. We have to take them back for analysis and comparison to know its possible composition. Do you think the iron meteorite we just found is the target?"

Team leader Yuan watched the team members classify the samples according to labels and said: "Let the data speak for itself. This is not what you and I think."

The man was not as serious as Team Leader Yuan. He smiled and said, "Then let's talk about the video. Do you think the part in the video is true?"

Team leader Yuan: "So far, according to the results of our investigation, there is no sign of fraud."

The man continued: "Don't be so serious, let's talk about our own ideas. Who do you think will find the meteorite first this time? Who is more optimistic? Meteorite hunters? Tourists? Or which official department?"

Team Leader Yuan looked at the boundless desert and said casually: "The first person to discover it, I am optimistic about the wind..."

At this time, Team Leader Yuan's dedicated satellite phone rang.

Connected and listened to the report over there.

After a while, the call ended.

Team Leader Yuan raised his lips slightly: "Feng Yi. He found particles that were suspected to be bolide fragments and returned to Tuojia Town to send them for testing."

When they were investigating outside, due to the lack of network access, they had no time to read the messages or emails on the chat app, but they would have assistants help them pay attention. If there was important information, they would immediately use the satellite phone to report it.

The call just now was from an assistant who told him: Feng Yi sent a message saying that he had found particles and particles that were suspected of falling from the bursting bolide.

Although Feng Yi's expertise was not in this, Team Leader Yuan believed that what Feng Yi found was more likely to be true.

Feng Yi was like his great aunt, always able to do some unexplainable things.

"Particles..." Team Leader Yuan looked at the desert in front of him, "Collect more sand and dust samples."

Over there, Feng Yi and others have returned.

Walking back along the road, it's faster, less bumpy, and has a net.

Wen Zhiyu is showing off his gains from this trip to his friends.

Feng Yi looked outside. On the way back, I saw more people than when I came out.

There are those who make short videos, and it looks like the team is out collecting materials.

There are also live broadcasts, but they can only be done in areas with good Internet access, that is, near highways, and the scope of activities is quite limited.

Pan Weining also saw it and said with a smile: "The self-media reacted very quickly. In fact, even if the meteorite is not found in the end, it is still worth a visit. It can lead to a career, gain knowledge, and exercise."

This is the difference between Pan Weining and Wen Zhiyu. For Pan Weining, every time he goes out, even if there is not much apparent gain, he exercises his body, which is still a big gain.

When he was about to arrive at Tuojia Town, Feng Yi also saw a slightly larger and more professional shooting team.

In addition to coming here to shoot videos and find materials, another important purpose is-the cars they use in the desert.

The brand places the advertisement, and the team specifies which car to use when shooting the video.

I don’t know if I’m here to shoot a documentary or a short film. Looking at the lineup and the equipment, the investment must be bigger. There may also be support from the local publicity department behind this - finally there is such a development opportunity in the local area, so of course we must seize it.

Vehicles enter town.

There are many vendors on both sides of the road, which is very lively.

It's hard to imagine that a day ago this place was not like this at all.

You can see many tourists who are obviously from out of town everywhere, stopping among these stalls, discussing prices, and buying what they like.

As the flow of people increases, the speed of cars traveling on the road slows down.

When Feng Yi glanced at one of the stalls, he suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I want to buy something."

The car stopped aside, and Feng Yi got out of the car wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask.

Many people here are dressed similarly and are inconspicuous.

Feng Yi walked to the small stall and picked up the exquisite small glass bottle placed in the corner.

The vendor thought that Feng Yi didn't know what it was for, so he enthusiastically introduced it to Feng Yi: "This is the [Star Wishes Vase]. It's filled with stars! Real stars!"

When planet fragments fall down, they are also stars!

Cut it into crumbs or powder and put it in a bottle, which is called a "Wish Star Bottle".

It doesn’t matter if you can’t see the shooting stars. The shooting stars are all put in a bottle for you, isn’t it the [Star Wishing Bottle]!

Isn't this more practical than making a wish on the screen?

Feng Yi listened to the vendor's introduction. He saw that there was a meteorite identification certificate placed next to it, which looked very formal.

The vendor looked arrogant: "We use real meteorites here! We don't bother selling fakes!"

Feng Yi looked next to him and saw that there was also a hardcover gift box version. A copy of the certificate is specially placed inside, which can be directly checked online. The number of the meteorite fragments contained in the bottle is marked on it to support inspection.

The vendor enthusiastically recommended the gift box to Feng Yi: "If you don't believe that what you bought is genuine, you can send the debris in the bottle to a reliable institution for testing to see if it is the same as the corresponding meteorite information in the serial number."

Of course, the price of this gift box version is also much higher.

"If you don't like it yourself, you can buy it back and give it away as a souvenir! This one is selling really well today!" The vendor didn't lie. This [Wish Star Bottle] was really selling well today. He was also happy in his heart.

Those low-priced meteorites that have been unsold for many years in the warehouse, as well as the scraps left after making handicrafts, finally have a source! !

They can all be sold at a good price!

Vendors do not consider themselves profiteers.

We still have some conscience! Unlike those shady people who just use fake meteorites, the price is even higher than mine!

The vendor introduced so many, he thought Feng Yi was interested in this and would buy a few, but he heard Feng Yi say: "Is there an empty bottle? I want an empty bottle."

Pan Weining and Wen Zhiyu also came over. Seeing this, they both wanted to buy.

Wen Zhiyu also said: "What a great idea. I want to buy more and take them back to give away!"

He produced a lot of sand today, sand from the desert and stardust, which he shoveled with his own hands! Doesn’t this make more sense than the others?

Of course, as a gift, two things are important: one is the packaging, and the other is the intention.

Divide the sand shoveled back by yourself into these exquisite small glass bottles, and then have someone package it a little when you go back. It’s just right for giving away!

There are some star chips in here!

Even if there are no debris from yesterday's bolide, there are likely to be debris from meteorites from the past!

The original vendors thought it was troublesome and didn't want to talk to Feng Yi, but when they heard what Wen Zhiyu said and knew that they bought a lot, they immediately responded: "Yes! I'll have someone bring it over! What do you guys want?"

Feng Yi picked up a thumb-sized glass bottle: "I want this kind, without patterns and completely transparent. Give me a few spare corks."

Wen Zhiyu and Pan Weining both picked some with patterns and several styles of various styles. They wanted to give them to many people.

After Feng Yi and the others finished their shopping and left, the vendors saw several familiar meteorite hunters coming over. At first glance, he is from this town.

The vendors were about to say hello, but they heard these people quickly say: "The empty, finger-thick little glass bottles they bought just now, do you still have them? We've got them all!"

The vendor was stunned and puzzled: Why is he suddenly interested in this kind of empty bottle?

"Just empty small glass bottles?" the vendor asked.

"It needs to be empty! Don't fill it with meteorite debris. Whatever else you have in the warehouse, bring it to us!"

"Do you want every model?" the vendor asked.

"All of them!"

No explanation was given, but the eyes of these meteorite hunters were filled with excitement.

They thought to themselves: Meteorite cannot be sold openly now, but they can sell sand!

If you don’t make this kind of money, you’ll feel like you’re losing money!

The vendor said enthusiastically: "Okay! Just wait a moment."

Responding with a smile, the merchant turned around and sent a message to the store, asking them not to move all the goods out, but to hold them down first!

Judging from the movements of these meteorite hunters, something must have happened that they, the traders, don’t know about. The value of these empty glass bottles may increase!

Not only did he stock up on goods, he also asked his store employees to go to other stalls to stock up on goods!

Now the buying price in bulk can be very low!

In Tuojia Town, vehicles from outings are coming back one after another.

Inside a warehouse.

The meteorite hunter who came back from an outing parked his car and carefully removed several large bags from the car.

The person in the warehouse asked: "How was the harvest today? How many grains were found..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the other party dumping a bag of sand on the sorting table.

"What are you doing?"

The meteorite hunter didn't explain much, but said: "Hurry up and call someone over to help!"

He took out all the necessary tools from the tool cabinet and added a few magnifying glasses.

The people in the warehouse were shocked: "Magnifying glass, sieve, tweezers, are they... there is something in the sand?!"

After all, he has been in the industry for so many years and can quickly guess the answer from the other party's behavior.

I sent a message to my subordinates and asked people to come over immediately to help. I leaned close to the sorting table:

"How are you sure it's in this?"

"I'm not sure, but I have to give it a try! When I was looking for stones outside today, the well-known expert from the Joint Security Bureau on the Internet picked out two black stones from the sand and said that they might be the fire stones last night. Shooting stars stay.”

Feng Yi's information on the Internet is not difficult to find. The keywords "young", "good-looking" and "expert from the UN Security Bureau" were combined together and it was quickly found.

The person in the warehouse was puzzled: "He is a snake catcher, not a stone appraiser."

When he heard what the other party said, he thought the expert was from the Bureau of Geology and Minerals, the Observatory, or the University of Geosciences, but he didn't expect that he was just a snake catcher!

"Experts are useless if they switch majors!"

"I know! But what if? I'll shovel the sand back first! Everyone else does it."

"That's right. Maybe this wind expert has some inside information!"

In their opinion, since they are all experts within the Joint Security Bureau, they must have some internal information channels!

In another part of the city, the most upscale hotel in town, in a luxurious suite.

A man with a rich and wealthy temperament, stroking the gems on the ring, looking at a large bottle of sand on the table in front of him, and said in a dangerous tone:

"I hope to get a satisfactory explanation."

The meteorite hunter sitting across the table hurriedly said: "It is very possible that there is the thing you mentioned."

Rich man: "Is it possible? I didn't pay so much just to get a 'possible'! Nor was it to buy sand!"

Meteor Hunter: "We did not have time to detect it, but you also know what is going on in Tuojia Town now. People from the Joint Security Bureau and the security department are here. It can be said that those who know how to identify are all under surveillance. We want to For identification, it must be sent to other places, which will consume more time. But, you know, if the official test results come out..."

The meteorite hunter knocked on the bottle of sand on the table and said in a low voice, "It's not at this price!"

This rich man wants to say that Feng Yi, a snake-catcher, knows nothing about meteorites!

The words were spoken but then stopped.

Expression unpredictable.

Feng Yi...

According to some rumors, this person seems to be really interested in meteorites. Maybe he knows more about them, or maybe he has some inside information?

The boss who paid the money did not speak, and the meteorite hunter waited quietly. Although he looked calm on the face, he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

In fact, he doesn't know whether this transaction can be successful, but experience tells him that the faster a transaction like this is, the better. Getting the money is the most important thing. What a deal. The meteorite market has been cold for such a long time, and I don’t know how long the heat will last this time. While the heat is still there, it can still be sold at a high price.

He didn't know much about the expert named Feng Yi, but his colleagues all did the same thing, and what he just said was also valid - I didn't make it up anyway, I told the truth, and I followed your request, boss, as soon as possible send over. As for whether it is true or not, I also said that I cannot guarantee it.

If it is finally confirmed that those that Feng Yi found were not real meteorites, or were not the ones that fell from the bolide last night...

That's none of my business, you go find Feng Yi!

Sign in.

Zhang said it could not be restored for the time being.
