Every day is one step closer to reality

In the end, the rich man couldn't restrain his curiosity and bought the bottle of sand at a high price.

Although there is no large meteorite that I want, this large bottle of sand is still enough.

After the meteorite hunter who delivered the goods left, the wealthy man said to his subordinates:

"Let people pay attention to Feng Yi's movements. If he takes a stone to test, pay close attention to the test results!"

Not only wealthy buyers like them, many people are paying attention to Feng Yi's movements.

The big-money buyers are waiting for the appraisal results there, because they themselves will not take it to such an official agency for appraisal. If it is sent to the appraisal and it is authentic, the goods in their hands will have to be kept there.

And the sellers will not show off like this. They are now afraid of being targeted by the authorities and will never send it to that kind of institution for testing.

Therefore, both buyers and sellers focused their attention on Feng Yi. Of course they would be happy if someone took the lead.

Feng Yi's whereabouts were not concealed. When he arrived at Tuojia Town, Xiao Jia first drove Pan Weining and Wen Zhiyu to their residence. Afterwards, Feng Yi sent the newly found jar of pebbles to the agency designated by the UN Security Bureau for appraisal.

There, Team Leader Yuan had already sent someone waiting.

After checking the identity information, Feng Yi only needs to hand over the things to the other party, and the people from the Joint Security Bureau will handle the rest of the procedures.

"When will the results be available?" Feng Yi asked.

"We can't be sure about this. If the ingredients are average, the identification results will be very fast. If there are any special ingredients or structures, we are not sure how long it will take. However, the authenticity identification should be out soon, and we will send you a message then. Information." The man said.

Whether it is a real meteorite or not, the result will come out soon. However, the time required to determine the composition of the meteorite, whether it has scientific research value, and more testing data is yet to be determined.

Feng Yi nodded: "Okay, I'm sorry."

"You're welcome. Team leader Yuan said that if this identification is true, he will give you another credit."

Feng Yi didn't pay much attention to whether the stones had any unusual structural components.

Return to your residence from the testing facility.

Pan Weining and Wen Zhiyu are placing dinner on the table, which they ordered from the hotel. After a tiring day outside, no one wants to do anything when I come back, but I want to treat myself to something sumptuous, so I can only order food.

"I'm back. When will the testing agency get the results?" Wen Zhiyu asked impatiently.

"The authenticity will be determined soon. The composition data cannot be determined for a long time." Feng Yi said, "Where is the sand you shoveled?"

Pan Weining said: "Put it in the room."

They didn't pick rocks from the sand as soon as they came back. They wanted to wait for Feng Yi's identification results to come out before choosing how to treat the sand.

The sunset time in Tuojia Town is even later. When the sun completely disappears from the sky, the town that used to fall into sleep is still active today.

There are planes taking off and landing at the airport all the time, and there are cars and pedestrians coming and going in various hotels and B\u0026Bs.

The small stalls placed on the street have turned on the lights and started the night market business mode.

A seemingly ordinary tourist who had just gotten off the plane and walked out of the airport was observing among several stalls.

About half an hour later, he came to one of the stalls and said to the vendor:

"I want all these [Wish Star Bottles]! Will the boss give me a discount?"

"Easy to say!" The merchant was ecstatic and started packing neatly. He didn't ask what he was doing with buying so much. Anyway, it was just a few things. Sellers like them only needed to sell the goods. It was not a good thing to ask too clearly.

The tourist didn't leave after taking the goods. Instead, he came closer and lowered his voice and asked, "Is there anything for sand?"

The merchant understood it as soon as he heard it.

This is talking about the area where the bolide exploded and fell, the sand there.

There was nothing unusual about the vendor's face, and he still greeted customers enthusiastically: "If you buy more, I will give you this gadget."

He said and handed over the gift naturally.

The tourist took the small gift, hesitated for a moment, and left.

He didn't open the gift on the street. He checked in at the hotel first, and then opened the gift after entering the room.

In addition to a small gadget, there is also a card.

There's an address on it.

Without taking any time to rest, he put down his luggage and took the card to find a warehouse based on the address on it.

Knocked on the door.

After a while, an unshaven middle-aged man opened the door of the warehouse a crack.

"Who are you?" the person inside asked.

"A tourist wants to ask you if there is anything...interesting here." He handed over the card in his hand as he spoke.

The person inside took the card, looked at it, opened the warehouse door, and motioned for him to enter.

There are many goods stacked in the warehouse. The lights are dim and it is difficult to see what they are. However, after walking around a corner along the narrow passage, you will find a brighter place. The goods stacked there make the eyes of visitors brighten up.

"Is this [Star Sand]?" the visitor asked.

[Star Sand] is the name spoken by local meteorite hunters.

After all, the meteorite formed by the falling bolide cannot be sold now. No certificate can be issued, and the sample may be detained if taken to a testing agency.

The appearance of [Star Sand] was completely inspired by Feng Yi.

If the sample handed over by Feng Yi is authenticated, the price of Star Sand will skyrocket.

Even if the identification is false, they will mix some meteorite debris into the sand. It's still Xingchen Sand, but it just can't be sold at a high price.

No matter what, they don't lose.

Based on their understanding of the market, some buyers may not necessarily like a bottle filled with meteorites with a little sand, and they may think it is more sentimental.

There is also a large jar, a transparent glass jar filled with sand and gravel mixed with meteorite fragments. Buyers can manually pick out the meteorites from inside. Once selected, they can be sent for appraisal.

Playing is a kind of fun of digging for treasures.

Their team of meteorite hunters is now divided into two teams, one team is responsible for selling, and the other team is digging sand outside.

They never underestimate a businessman's sense of smell. Look, here's another one coming here with a smell!

The "tourist" took a few steps forward with an urgent look in his eyes: "Was it dug out in the core area?"

"Of course! They were all dug up during the day!"

"What's the price? I'll buy in bulk!"

"Everyone who comes here buys in bulk, we don't just sell." The person in the warehouse reported the number.

This is a bit higher than the price of wishing star bottles on the market.

The "tourists" were a little hesitant about the price.

The people in the warehouse urged: "Decide quickly. People like you who find it by yourself don't have many choices. There are not many local people willing to sell to strangers. If you don't believe it, you can go out and look for it to see if they can sell to you. "

The meteorite hunters who have lived in Tuojia Town for many years have their own sales channels and partners and will not easily trade with other traders.

Those of them who are willing to sell just want to make some money as soon as possible and are not willing to take risks.

Who knows what the appraisal results from Feng Yi will be like. If the appraisal is found to be false, the price of the sand they are hoarding will plummet.

Although it is not a big loss, of course I would be more willing to exchange the sand for more money!

The "tourists" also have their own concerns. A small businessman like him takes risks and has a gambler's mentality.

However, even if you lose the bet, you won't lose too much money. Anyway, you can sell these wishing bottles filled with sand by making up some stories. The topic is hot now, and many people are willing to buy it.

After thinking about it, the "tourist" still bought a batch.

After the "tourist" left, the warehouse door was closed, leaving only himself.

A young man finally couldn't hold it in any longer, he counted his money and laughed out loud: "Hahaha, I've made a lot of money this time! We have Guo Feng Yi to back us, and we can make money if we have it!"

The other older man glanced at him: "You know nothing!"

Looking at the sold-out shelves, the elderly man’s eyes were deep:

"If the stones that Feng Yi handed over this time are identified as genuine and are definitely the debris from the bolide last night... I can give Feng Yi a gift!"

When he says "offering up," he means "offering up" literally.

The kind where statues of gods are placed, incense tables are set up, and offerings are placed on the table!

People like them believe in strength, but they also believe in luck.

Luck is a very mysterious thing.

It doesn't matter whether they are gods or not, they are very realistic and will support anyone who can make them rich!

The official testing agency of Tuojia Town.

After people from the Joint Security Bureau and the Security Bureau came over this morning, a team was set up to test samples related to the bolide event.

The building is extremely busy today.

When the agency employees went to eat, the newly formed group was still going on.

In the staff canteen.

"Oh, I'm exhausted. There are so many tourists bringing things here for testing today!"

"Me too. Tourists go to the Gobi Desert to pick up stones, especially the beautiful stones with some gemstones, and bring them for appraisal. Is it necessary?!"

"If you ask me, those meteorite hunters are still smart. They don't test the things they find, for fear that they will not be allowed to keep them if they identify them and have scientific research value."

"Is there any progress with the newly formed group? Who knows?"

"People from the Joint Security Bureau and the Ministry of Security are responsible for that. We are not allowed to get close. How can we know the news over there."

"But I heard from the person at the gate that today Feng Yi brought the stone he found for testing."

"Which Feng Yi? The one who is very popular on the Internet? Is he in our town?"

"Hey wait! The latest news is that the people from the Special Investigation Team of the Federal Security Bureau are back. I wonder if they have made any new discoveries."

A certain floor of the testing agency is also the location of the newly established appraisal team.

Team leader Yuan and his team have returned from their trip, and the samples collected at different locations outside today have been delivered in batches.

Team leader Yuan and another person in charge of the security department came to the testing room where the identification team was located very purposefully.

Prior to arrival, they received a preliminary identification report.

It was the sample sent by Feng Yi.

After identification, part of the jar of pebbles that Feng Yi sent over was indeed a meteorite, and it was very likely that it was the fragments that fell from the bursting bolide yesterday!

"How's it going?" Team Leader Yuan looked at the screen of an instrument.

The inspector next to me came over and handed over an electronic version of the data.

"Based on the detected data and comparing the collected samples, what Feng Yi found is indeed most likely to be left behind by yesterday's bolide.

"You know, in the past, we have found some strange crystal structures in the fragments that fell after bolides exploded in the sky. This is not the first time we have discovered it. It is also found in the sample received today, and it is another unique crystal structure."

Team Leader Yuan does know the crystal structure the other party mentioned. Several large companies related to new materials and new energy at home and abroad have been studying this type of peculiar crystal structure.

The inspector brought up another page: "This is the strange nanocluster core we found in this crystal."

Team leader Yuan looked at these pictures carefully and asked: "Is this kind of thing originally present in the celestial body, or is it formed when it explodes during the fall?"

The inspector said: "We prefer the latter. The conditions for the formation of this crystal structure are very harsh and may require a huge energy exchange to occur in a very short time.

"Based on the various data we detected, we found after comparison that this bolide may belong to the same parent body as another bolide we discovered more than ten years ago. But the special crystal structures inside them are different. Same. We can use this crystal structure to resolve samples."

After a pause, the inspector continued: "As I just said, it has a unique crystal structure inside. We speculate that a huge energy exchange occurred on the bolide, and the high-intensity explosion that occurred may not be found. When you go out to take samples of large meteorites, you must be mentally prepared."

Team leader Yuan nodded: "In other words, it is very likely that only small particles or even smaller particles of dust fell down?"

"That's right."

"Continue analyzing."

"Yes, the work is already in progress. We will compare more samples and follow-up measurements will continue."

The person in charge of the security department listened on the side and said: "It was really the sample that Feng Yi brought first."

Team Leader Yuan smiled and looked at the other person behind him: "When Feng Yi brought these samples over, he didn't say anything else?"

The man said: "As I said, he said that after testing here, he would like to apply to keep part of it for collection."

Experts within the Federal Insurance Bureau can indeed make such an application. If the number of samples is large enough, they can apply to keep part of it themselves. It can be kept legally and can be collected, but it cannot be traded.

But now, the follow-up testing is still in progress, and there are many things that need to be discussed before being decided. Neither Team Leader Yuan nor the people from the Security Department can approve it immediately.

Team Leader Yuan glanced at the various samples placed next to them. These were unimportant categories after identification.

On one of the boxes, Feng Yi's name was written on the label.

"What's there?" Team Leader Yuan asked.

"Oh, it was screened out from the samples sent by Feng Yi. Nearly half of the non-meteorite particles were screened out from one jar."

"So many of them are not meteorites?" Team Leader Yuan was surprised.

"It's normal. After all, there are no tools for accurate identification. We only rely on subjective judgment. Half of the samples brought back are genuine. This is not easy!"

Team leader Yuan looked at the small particles that were not meteorites and was speechless.

Don’t say whether you believe it or not.

In fact, this was indeed deliberately mixed in by Feng Yi.

Feng Yi knew very well that if all he sent were meteorite particles, normally the accuracy should not be high.

Therefore, in order to reduce the accuracy, Feng Yi mixed in some similar-looking non-meteorite particles.

At this time, Feng Yi was in the room and felt a little uneasy.

I don’t know how many things the testing agency has tested.

He himself also wanted to know whether using energy substances to explode the bolide would change the structural composition of the meteorite.

I was thinking about these things in my mind while my hands were cleaning the glass bottles.

Among the glass bottles he bought today, he selected two types without patterns.

One is slightly smaller, about the size of an adult’s thumb including the cork. Feng Yi plans to hold the meteorite particles in this small glass bottle, and it can be filled after the application is approved.

The other is palm-sized and in the shape of a five-pointed star, which is used to store dug sand.

Before the last glass bottle was cleared, Feng Yi received a message.

It was sent by Team Leader Yuan, telling him that some of the samples sent were identified as genuine. After data analysis, it is very likely that they are the debris of this bolide. Follow-up testing is still in progress.

This result was expected by Feng Yi, but he didn't receive the information he wanted to know.

However, after seeing this, Feng Yi understood that the Security Bureau and the Ministry of Security would soon release the latest news on the bolide incident.

Now that some of the test results are out, they can be announced to the public first.

Just as Feng Yi thought, half an hour later, the announcement was issued.

This matter has great influence and attracts a lot of attention at home and abroad. The announcement was issued after a multi-department meeting to discuss the matter.

The specific test data has not been made public. What has been said is that the meteorite dropped by the bolide was identified as having a low content of metals such as iron and nickel. Therefore, the iron meteorites sold on the market are not the bolide fragments that everyone is concerned about. And, the meteorite has great scientific research value!

Senior meteorite hunters were not frightened by this announcement. On the contrary, they were very excited!

This aspect of meteorites has always been controversial, and there are many loopholes that can be exploited.

Can't open the certificate? Then it can’t be opened, we don’t want it!

We don’t sell meteorites directly, we sell sand!

We sell star sand!

Hahaha! !

They have their own news channels.

Even if detailed and accurate data information cannot be obtained, the general information can still be known.

For example, the meteorite classification related to the bolide.

For example, who sent the first authentic sample for identification.

Another example is the sampling area range of the sample...

The vendors in Tuojia Town gathered together to discuss the pricing of various goods for tomorrow.

The price of empty glass bottles will definitely increase, and so will the wishing star bottles.

The price of Xingchen Sand has soared!

The vendors who have sold a large number of empty glass bottles are now regretting it because they sold them at a low price!

At the same time, on the shopping platform, several merchants put on the shelves overnight the Star Sand and Star Wishing Bottles from Tuojia Town, and the sales were very hot!

As soon as the link was posted, it sold out in less than half an hour!

In the dark night of Toga Town, one off-road vehicle after another drove towards the desert. There is no way, we have to restock!

The old meteorite hunters in Tuojia Town:

"Quick! Set up the table and bring the offerings! Bring Feng Yi to me!"

Sign in.

Adjust your schedule and update as early as possible.

Another day without any chapter.
