"Changing the topic again, um... Oh, by the way, do you know that a meteorite fell on our Yunling a few days ago, it seems to be over there in Shangri-La?"
Lao Su suddenly said something.
"This matter has been broadcast on the news network. How could you not know? It is said that this meteorite has just fallen, and many jade enthusiasts have begun to form a group to go to Shangri-La to look for the meteorite."
Shen Hu added.
"Real or fake? Meteorites are valuable?".
Huang Ming was curious when he heard that someone was looking for meteorites.
"Nonsense, of course it's valuable. Meteorites come from outer space and are not found on earth. If meteorites contain some elements that are not found on earth, you can make a fortune."
Shen Hu immediately began to educate Huang Ming on science.
"Just brag. Meteorites are just rocks from outer space. What are they worth? The elements are still unknown? Why didn't you say there are diamonds in meteorites?".
Huang Ming didn't believe it.
"I said to Lao Ming, it's terrible to be uneducated. Do you know what a meteorite is? Do you know how many types of meteorites there are? Do you know the price of meteorites? I'll scare you if I tell you. Wait, I'll check it out for you online. ".
While Shen Hu retorted, he took out his mobile phone and started searching online.
"Tch, then just scare me. I want to see how valuable this meteorite is?".
Huang Ming still didn't believe it.
"You wait, let me take a look, um..., okay, I found it. This is the trend of meteorite trading in recent years. Look at this, the stony iron meteorite is 152 grams, 3.28 million, the iron meteorite is 1019 grams, 16.508 million, the stony meteorite... ".
"Real or fake? Are meteorites that valuable?"
Huang Ming grabbed Shen Hu's cell phone and started reading it himself.
"No, are meteorites really that valuable?".
Looking at the content on Shen Hu's phone, Huang Ming was a little surprised.
"I told you a long time ago, read more books and don't just play games all day long."
Shen Hu was very proud.
"Hey, let me tell you, how about we look for meteorites? As long as we can find a small piece, we will be rich. Why are we selling our houses?"
"Besides, meteorites don't happen every day. This time they just happened to fall into Yunling. For us, this is a great opportunity that we don't see in a century."
Lao Su was very excited, but no, this kind of opportunity was really rare.
"Hey, I thought of it a long time ago, so I took the initiative to organize this party today. I have checked online, and no one has found the meteorite so far."
Shen Hu showed a proud smile.
"No, you really want to find meteorites?"
Li Yanxue listened for a long time and finally asked.
"Go, I must go, how can I miss this kind of thing, I sign up."
Lao Su was the first to sign up.
"I'll go too. As long as I can find a piece, we don't have to worry about the payment anymore."
Lao Li decided to go.
"If someone needs to take care of me in the store, I won't go there."
Yang Xukuan felt that there was little hope and did not want to go.
"Both of us are not going, we still have to go to work."
Li Yanxue and Zhang Mengmeng shook their heads together.
"Since Lao Mang won't go, then I will go."
Huang Ming was very interested.
He didn't do it for money, but wanted to see what was in the meteorite, maybe it could be used to refine magic weapons.
After the day's party, it was early morning on the third day, which was next Monday.
Huang Ming, Shen Hu, Lao Su and Lao Li drove Shen Hu's red off-road vehicle to Shangri-La and began their treasure hunting journey.
It was already evening when we arrived at Shangri-La, and they decided to stay one night and study the search route first.
After opening the room, several people gathered together and turned on their mobile phones. They checked and downloaded relevant information about the Yunling meteorite fall from the Internet.
Not long after checking, Lao Su let out a scream.
"Damn, it seems that this meteorite is a bit big. The Internet said that this meteorite had an air explosion when it was more than 40 kilometers above the ground."
"When the debris hit the ground, it also caused a small earthquake of magnitude 2.1, which was seen by many people."
"Nonsense, it must be big. If it wasn't big, the meteorite would have burned up in the air long ago. We still have to look for the range where the meteorite fell. I found it here and it seems to be about 40 kilometers northwest of the county."
Shen Hu said something.
"I found a map made by a netizen of where the suspected meteorite fell. From the map, the meteorite was divided into three pieces after the air blast, and fell into three different places. Take a look."
Huang Ming said as he handed the phone to Shen Hu beside him.
"Well, judging from this picture, there are three possible falling points."
"One is the impact point predicted based on the flight trajectory map provided by NASA, and the other two are the crash points marked by netizens based on the oral accounts of witnesses. I think they are both very likely."
After Shen Hu read it, he handed the phone to Lao Su.
"Since we have pictures, let's look for them all, but I think we should go to Nidin Village near Benzilan first."
"Didn't the Internet say that some tourists saw a meteor near Benzilan and felt an obvious earthquake? Since there was a earthquake, it means that the impact point here is not far from Benzilan."
Lao Su expressed his thoughts and handed Huang Ming's mobile phone to Lao Li.
"Maybe the meteorite split into three pieces. We have to go anyway, no matter where we go first," Lao Li also expressed his position.
Huang Ming also felt that the meteorite was most likely to fall near Benzilan and nodded.
"Okay, then we will first go to Nidin Village near Benzilan tomorrow, then transfer to the impact point provided by NASA, and finally search the Balagezong area."
Early the next morning, everyone drove back to Benzilan from Shangri-La County and came to Nidin Village, which was closest to the meteorite impact point on the treasure hunt map created by netizens.
Parking the car at a fellow villager's house in the village, everyone carried their own adventure camping equipment and headed towards the meteorite impact area marked on the map.
The scenery of the plateau meadow is magnificent. Everyone walks around, watching the flowers, playing and having fun. From time to time, they stop to take pictures of the scenery with their mobile phones and send messages to friends. The journey is smooth, and they don’t feel tired at all.
It wasn't until dusk when the sky was getting dark that everyone decided to stop and rest and start camping.
Taking advantage of the gap between people setting up tents, Huang Ming checked his cell phone.
There is no signal on the mobile phone, but he has taken a screenshot of the map made by a netizen before, so whether there is a signal is not a big problem.
After a restless night, we continued on the road the next day.
After walking for nearly half a day, they entered the first meteorite impact range marked on the map. Shen Hu suggested starting the search from here.
Huang Ming looked at his surroundings and thought for a while.
"How about we build a temporary camp on the top of the opposite hill first, and then search in pairs from different directions. Regardless of whether we find it or not, we must return to the camp before dark."
Everyone agreed and set up tents on the hill opposite to build a temporary camp.
After the camp was built, Huang Ming looked at his watch.
"It's a bit late today. Shen Hu and I will go to the left to have a look. Lao Su and Lao Li will go to the right. Don't go too far and come back before dark."
"Okay, let's test the water first today, and then search in a larger area tomorrow."
Lao Su was very excited.
For this meteorite treasure hunt, he went to the Geological Bureau to buy a metal detector. He couldn't help but want to try it, so everyone split up.
