Chapter 340 The rubbish skill turns out to be a treasure(1/2)

Meteorite hunters are an emerging industry. In recent years, scientific research and economic development have been strong. After collectors and scientific research institutions in various countries have increased their purchase prices, some people have joined this small circle one after another, dreaming of finding meteorites worth $10,000 per gram overnight.

Rich.

One gram is ten thousand. As long as you can find this kind of meteorite, a multi-millionaire or billionaire will be born.

Although the chance is very low, it is still higher than the chance of winning the lottery.

It’s not like there weren’t any before, it’s just that there were very few people.

Well, not much now.

Although Chen Xing is young, he is considered a well-informed person, but this is the first time he has heard of meteorite hunters, and it is even the first time he has discovered that meteorites can be sold for money.

It seems that no matter how big a Swedish city is, whether it is Stockholm or a third-tier small city, the streets seem to look the same, except for the beautifully decorated brand stores. The design of the street shops is very simple, but with a Nordic filter, Chen Xing also

I don’t think it’s ugly.

Just...

It’s so uncomfortable not being able to understand what people around you are saying!

His language learning ability is very good. He has been able to speak some simple Uyghur after staying in Xijiang for a while. If he also lived in Sweden for ten or eight days, he might be able to speak a few Swedish words, but wouldn't he have no time?

, he has only been in the country for two days, and listening to the locals talking is like hearing ghost whispers.

In this environment, Chen Xing did not dare to take pictures of people with his camera, so he could only take pictures of buildings.

Chen Xing felt that this small city had few cars.

At least the road he saw when he walked out of the train station can be said to be completely a pedestrian street. Although there are traffic division signs on the ground, people are basically walking on it. Occasionally, there will be young people driving balance cars or riding bicycles slowly.

Speed ​​through the road.

After taking a picture of an ugly cat with beautiful fur but an ugly face in the window, Chen Xing put down the camera and teased it a little, then turned around and walked away again.

Hurry to chase.

"Mr. Matthiessen..."

"Just call me Erken. I'm not used to people calling me sir. I'm still very young."

He smiled at Chen Xing and did not slow down.

Chen Xing followed the good example and said: "Nalken, how long have you been exposed to meteorites?"

"When I was 16 years old, I studied meteorites with my uncle. It's been... eleven years now, right?"

Chen Xing quickly calculated in his mind, 16 11, Narken is only 27 years old this year?

I can't tell, Chen Xing always thought he was over thirty!

"Eleven years? That's amazing!"

"I'm not that great. I know there are a few guys in the United States who live outdoors for 10 months a year. They are the ones who are crazy about meteorites. Alas, America is such a good place. There are so many meteorites every year.

Meteorites fell in America."

He also looked at Chen Xing and said: "China is a big country with many meteorites, but I haven't heard of any famous Chinese meteorite hunters."

"Maybe our meteorites belong to the country?"

"That's not the case. Only meteorites that fall in Australia are stipulated to belong to their country. There is no such rule in other continents. They just have to pay a tax of 20 to 30%."

Chen Xing looked at the navigation system. This route should go to the station.

He asked: "How many days will it take us to look for meteorites this time?"

"How many days? That's hard to say. It's possible that the meteorite will be right in front of us as soon as it hits the ground. It's also possible that it will take ten days and a half, or even several months. It's impossible to say for sure. Anyway, let's go and take a look first.

Right." After saying that, he smiled at Chen Xing and said, "We haven't had a meteor shower in Sweden for a long time. This time it's quite large. If you like it, you should be able to take good photos."

Meteor showers don’t just fall in the same place. If they are all called rain, there must be a lot of debris.

It is not certain whether these fragments can fall on the ground.

Most of them will burn up in the atmosphere, and a few of them will eventually fall on the ground, which is enough to make meteorite hunters chasing this wave of meteor showers feel ecstatic.

And the location may be in Sweden or other countries in Europe.

Erken Mattison came to Hallsberg through his own calculations. How to calculate is his own unique skill, which is not suitable for Chen Xing. The companions who travel together are just companions, nothing more.

Master-disciple relationship.

Chen Xing thought that he would only stay for ten days at most.

There was nothing we could do if we couldn't find him for ten days, and then we had to go to Hasselblad. The three-month visa couldn't be wasted looking for meteorites.

Buy a ticket at the station and get on the train.

Is this bus supposed to be a long-distance bus? Chen Xing saw that the interior decoration of this bus is very luxurious. It doesn't feel cold even when the air conditioner is turned on, and it has no smell. The gap between the front and rear seats is very large. Although you can't just fall down and lie down, you can.

It can be placed at 130 degrees without affecting the passengers sitting behind.

Erken fell asleep quickly after getting in the car.

He seems to have the talent to sleep on any means of transportation. He also slept for a long time on the train before. He didn't wake up until he was almost at the station because Chen Xing kept taking pictures of the scenery outside the window. Now he fell asleep again on the bus.

.

Chen Xing is a little nervous. He is not that big-hearted yet and can sleep peacefully in a strange environment.

Moreover, Erken Mattison is really not afraid of having his camera stolen.

His old-looking backpack is on the shelf. If someone gets out of the car and takes it away with his hand, is Sweden so safe? Why does Chen Xingcha's data show that Sweden has the highest crime rate among the Nordic countries?

What about?

Fortunately, no one was interested in Erken's bag along the way.

Chen Xing would not get motion sickness in such a tasteless environment, but looking at his watch and the sky, his face looked a little worried.

It was said that he was going to stay in a small town for one night, but the place where the car was traveling was getting more and more remote. Ice and snow began to appear sporadically around him. In the distance, Chen Xing even saw mountains covered with snow on the top.

.

After a long time, the car stopped in a small town called Sweg.

After getting off the car, we couldn't see the sky. There were dark clouds and there was a depressing feeling that it was about to rain heavily. The houses on the street were very short, with two floors at most, and an attic, which was the room where boys lived in many European and American movies and TV dramas.

Chen Xing stayed in this kind of loft when he was traveling in Kanas Scenic Area in Western Xinjiang.

Although the area is small and the ceiling is weird, I feel a sense of security while living there.

If there are enough rooms at home, Europeans and Americans like to use the attic to store sundries, but even then it is just a roof, and the house as a whole is not high.

The sky and the buildings made Chen Xing feel like he was in Tibet.

The buildings in Tibet are denser than the Holy City. The streets in other cities are very wide and there is not much traffic. It looks a bit similar to the Nordic style.

"Let's find a place to stay first." Chen Xing said.

After getting off the bus at a place, he first looks for a hotel. This is a habit he has developed after traveling for so long. If you are slow to find a hotel in China, you will only have to increase the price or go to a farther place to find accommodation. Secondly,

In the morning, if you want to see the scenery, you have to walk further.

"No rush...forget it, we have too many things, let's find a hotel first."

Chen Xing: "..."

He just bought some clothes in Sweden, and now his suitcase is about to burst. He is also carrying an authentic travel backpack with a National Geographic logo on it. This bag is very big. Even if Chen Xing is not tired when carrying it, he will always feel tired.

Inconvenient.

Not everyone is like Erken when traveling. He doesn’t bring much clothes and doesn’t need to take care of his hair or beard.

Well, Erken is work, not travel.

The hotel is easy to find. There aren’t many foreign tourists in this damn place. After getting off the car, I walked around the deserted street for a while, and soon I saw a hotel with lights on. When I went in and asked, there were more than a dozen people inside the hotel.

You can choose any room at will, so there are only two rooms occupied.

Chen Xing wanted to help Erken pay for it together, but Erken refused, and in the end each paid his own way.

When he went upstairs, Erken frowned and said, "Why are there outsiders here at this time? Are they also traveling with us?"

Chen Xing was going upstairs. He was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and replied: "Maybe?"

"No, no, I brought you to Sweg to have the best location to watch the meteor shower, but this is not the best observation location. No one else will come, maybe just passing by."

Chen Xing said: "Look at the meteor shower? Is it going to rain here?"

"Then it can only be said that we are unlucky. I originally wanted you to take a few photos of the meteor shower. It's best to take a few photos of me. By then, it will be considered that I have not been a meteorite hunter in vain for so many years. I can give it to you when I go home.

Wife and children, look at the photos of me taken by top photographers."

"Are you married?"

"I...isn't this normal?"

"..."

First, he found the room and put away his things. Then Chen Xing opened the window and stuck his head out to take a closer look at the sky.

This should be a shower, it won't last long.
To be continued...
