Chapter 735 - Treasures of the Universe

Gagor Brown, a staff member of Broni Mining Company who followed the work that started overnight as if watching the excitement, touched an egg-shaped extraterrestrial visitor that had nearly half of its body exposed and was as big as a car. He said with a look of obsession: "Look, Chuck , this seems to be a piece of meteorite. Countless meteorites fall to the earth from outer space every year. These are just what is left after burning up from outer space. If they can be captured outside the atmosphere, it will be a great success. There are endless mineral deposits. The Broni Mining Company where your classmate works will invest so much manpower and material resources in development and research in this area. It is really visionary. Can you imagine it? The space smelting plant can produce space stations in large quantities. And the main part of the spaceship, the profit will be frighteningly high."

Gagor Brown still remembered a lot of the astronomy knowledge he learned in college, and he was so excited when he talked about it that he was salivating.

Lights were set up near the vaguely outline of the nearby crater, and some Broni staff were searching the ground with flashlights, collecting some suspected meteorite fragments as samples for identification and analysis.

The meteorite the size of a car hit the hard Gobi Desert heavily, and its huge inertia pushed it across the surface for dozens of meters. Finally, it left a long drop-shaped arch mark, almost half of which was buried in the ground. Under the surface of the earth, only an appearance as big as a water basin is exposed.

Such a large meteorite did not break into several pieces. Its hardness is beyond imagination.

Most meteorites look no different from ordinary rocks native to the earth. Only the most professional people can tell them apart. However, the surface color, texture and shape of this meteorite suspected to be iron meteorite are incompatible with the surrounding native gravel, and this area is arid. There was little rain and little change in the landform, which made it easy for Broni Company to find it and quickly started excavation work.

Compared to common stony meteorites. This piece comes from outer space. Meteoric iron rich in metal components is denser and seems to have more complex compositions. The surface burned by atmospheric friction and high temperature appears charred black and pitted with pits.

Broni's excavators have just used special cleaning agents and tools to wash out a piece of epidermal attachment that is about a square meter in size. Under the three-color light that imitates natural light, this piece of meteorite reveals its true appearance.

Every time a meteor falls, it means a natural melting of the falling object by the earth's atmosphere. Everything that can fall to the ground is elite, and some areas even have the habit of using meteorite iron to make weapons.

The strange purple metallic luster seems to be that the metal content is not low, and there is no deep oxidation phenomenon. However, the gas marks and melt lines are not obvious. What is even more eye-catching is that a small amount of minimal metal content is exposed on the surface. Crystals of various sizes, such as sesame seeds and as large as eggs.

These unknown crystals with a special crystal axis structure are either transparent or come in green, red and other colors. Under the illumination of light, they reflect an unusually deep and beautiful brilliance.

It looks like a jewelry box belonging to the starry sky goddess. It's dazzling to see.

"Mr. Brown, this, this is?!"

This made Willy Chuck stunned. A rare treasure from a distant universe? Mineral deposits on earth cannot produce such miracles. Could it be that the purple one is an alloy of some special proportion?

Viri, a geology major, suddenly felt that his professional knowledge was not enough. I really can't imagine what kind of environment could produce such a strange ore form.

His mouth suddenly became dry. His old classmate Jack Roosevelt and his company Brony Mining had discovered something extraordinary.

Seeing the expression of his colleague Viry Chuck, Gagor Brown did not show the same shock as Viry Chuck, but continued with a slightly surprised tone: "Some meteorites and meteorites from distant stars It will contain very strange crystal forms. If you study geology, of course you have never seen anything like this. This thing is almost impossible to find on the earth. I wonder if you have heard of the Fukang meteorite, which comes from Xinjiang, China. , also has crystal inclusions similar to this. Under the reflection of the sun, it is as transparent and shining as a golden honeycomb. It is extremely beautiful. There is also Lonsdale stone, which can almost be said to be another kind of diamond. Forms, do you know what these mean? As long as you can find something useful in them, it is possible to bring about a progress or even a technological revolution, and every inspiration will become a great technology."

Gagor Brown used his school knowledge that he had not forgotten to give several examples to Willy Chuck, who was stunned by the true appearance of meteorite.

Anyone who has studied astronomy will have a certain understanding of this kind of crystalline form, but it is by no means the first time it has appeared on the earth. It may be a special form.

There are many types of meteorites, some are made of pure metal, some are pure stone, some are a mixture of metal and stone, some are as singular as emerald glass, and some are diamonds from outer space. Stardust is not included in the vast universe. In fact, there are all kinds of strange material forms in all kinds of unimaginable environments. Even the giant dragon of the metal system who is limited by his own talent knows that the starry sky is the greatest treasure in the material world.

"That's right! Mr. Brown, it seems that you are also an expert in this field."

Jack Roosevelt's voice sounded behind Veri and Gagor. They both turned around and saw Jack Roosevelt standing with a man who looked like a Broni Company engineer.

If he hadn't confirmed that the other party was an employee of Northrop Grumman, the world's fourth largest arms dealer, Jack would have thought that this colleague from his old classmate must be their competitor.

In fact, arms dealers and mining companies even have a little business dealings, and there is no conflict of interest. Therefore, people like Broni Company do not reject the two onlookers at all.

"Thank you for the compliment. I originally studied astronomy in college and have some knowledge of these things."

The recognition from others made Gagor's face shine a little brighter, and he bowed a little proudly. There was never a word of humility in the communication habits of Europeans and Americans, so he naturally accepted Jack's praise with a smile. I forgot that he once advised his colleague Wei Li not to care about whether his major is right or not. As long as he makes money, it doesn't matter if he forgets all his previous knowledge.

"Who is this?" Gagor and Willy looked at the man who looked like an engineer next to Jack. He had a semi-bald head, a Mediterranean-style gray and white hair style, and a pair of black square-rimmed glasses. They had them before. We met in person, but Jack never made an introduction.

"This is our geological expert, Professor Rodriguez!" Jack Roosevelt smiled and introduced both parties. He had been cautious before, but now he seems to be more relieved.

"Professor Rodriguez, my name is Veri Chuck. I am also majoring in geology and exploration. I am a college classmate with Jack. I am very honored to meet you." Veri Chuck looked very excited and took the initiative to shake hands with the other person. He stopped and said at the same time: "Although I don't know much about meteorites, from geology, I can know that these extraterrestrial visitors coming to visit the earth sometimes don't mean it is a good thing?"

"Nice to meet you, that's great, oh? Did you find anything?"

Although the other person is currently engaged in the arms industry, Professor Rodriguez is very happy to get to know another colleague who shares a common language.

"I don't know if you have heard of the great flood that spreads around the world. It was once recorded in the Bible and ancient Eastern myths." Willy Chuck glanced at the confused people and said, "I once told the people all over the world History has done a survey and statistics and found a very interesting and very scary pattern."

"What is it?" Gagor Brown couldn't help but asked, but interrupted his colleague. Jack and Rodriguez looked at each other, looking forward to the next story with interest. This character The employees of Luhmann Company have very interesting hobbies and research.

"This law happens to be caused by the geological changes of the earth caused by the movement of celestial bodies in the universe. Every four thousand years, the earth will encounter a devastating disaster." Willy Chuck didn't seem to be joking, the expression on his face seemed Very seriously: "According to historical records, human beings were hit by a huge flood 12,000 years ago, and the civilization of Atlantis sank into the sea. Eight thousand years ago, there was another big flood, and the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea were There was a heavy downpour, pouring 26 cubic kilometers of water. The volume of water was 130 times greater than that of Niagara Falls. It also triggered a super tsunami up to fifty meters high, quickly turning the original freshwater lake into a black inland sea. This flood and tsunami were recorded in the Old Testament of the Bible, which is the Book of Genesis. Four thousand years ago, there was another huge disaster. China's Hemudu civilization, which was extremely developed at the time, suddenly disappeared. The recorded information is that Dayu controlled the flood. According to the judgment of archaeologists, it may be a huge icy comet that fell east of China and formed the current Taihu Lake. There is already a lot of data to prove that there was evidence of an abnormal Little Ice Age and a flood that destroyed the world. China It claims to have a long history of five thousand years. In fact, according to available data, there have been at least three civilization dates, each time around 4,000 years. It is inferred that the first two major floods happened to be in February. "

"Huh? Four thousand years? Are you saying that the earth suffers a devastating disaster every four thousand years? Haha, isn't it true that Nostradamus predicted that fate will be reincarnated every 4,000 years? That's such a coincidence, I It is also said that the revolution period of Nibiru, the tenth planet on earth, is also 4000 years. Uh, do you want to tell me that this death planet that will end mankind in Mayan legend destroys earth civilization every four thousand years? The culprit..."

Gagor Brown did not take his colleague Willy Chuck's concerns to heart at first, but instead started making fun of him. However, as he was talking, he shuddered for no reason and suddenly stopped talking.
