Chapter 352 Special C Position
After the results of the meteorite identification came out, Wen Zhiyu and Pan Weining came to find Feng Yi.
"Officially, the meteorite has great scientific research value. What should we do if we shovel away the sand? What if there are meteorite fragments in it?"
"Are we going to pick out the meteorite particles in the sand? Do we have to hand them in?"
"Wait! Look at this!"
Wen Zhiyu showed the two of them the page he found on his shopping software.
"The star wish bottles that have just been put on the shelves in these stores say that they contain star sand dug from the core area of falling meteorites. This is actually the sand that was dug up by the meteorite hunters, right? They acted so fast! No one cares about this? "
Pan Weining also looked at the newly received information in his hand: "Uncle Du said that the government has management control over that area and has also sent people to patrol the desert. As for other things, he didn't say anything."
Wen Zhiyu's mind was racing at this time: "So, there is no explicit prohibition on the sale of this kind of sand!"
Pan Weining raised his eyebrows.
Both of them understood the meaning and stopped asking Feng Yi any more, planning to pack up and go.
They shoveled several bags of sand and had to put them into bottles. It’s better to give this kind of gift as soon as possible.
But it’s late today, so prepare it and pack it up tomorrow.
After the two left, Feng Yi looked through the information on the Internet and the trends in several expert groups.
Strange.
It is said that the meteorite has great scientific research value, but there is no explicit prohibition on the sale of this kind of sand that may contain meteorite particles.
With the way the Federal Security Bureau and the Ministry of Security operate, such a loophole will not be ignored.
All we can say is that they deliberately put this loophole in!
Feng Yi opened the shopping platform and searched for goods related to the Star Wishing Bottle and Star Sand.
On the displayed page, the merchant showed pictures of the items. They couldn't say they were exactly the same as the glass bottles and shoveled sand they bought at the stall in Tuojia Town. It could only be said that they came from the same place at first glance!
Some merchants also specially marked [Tuojia Town Specialties]!
And very considerately, the page guides buyers on how to identify authentic and fake [Star Sand].
If there are genuine goods, there must be fake ones.
Stores that sell genuine goods are very confident. Their prices are high, but the goods are genuine! Of course, buyers must know who is authentic!
Although some people clamored to buy it without paying and came here to dig sand.
But after calculating the cost, I gave up the idea.
The already increased prices include round-trip air tickets, car rental fees, accommodation fees, and money to buy various equipment. These add up to a significant increase in costs, and the sand dug may not be able to subsidize these costs.
Beyond that, the most important thing is life safety! You also have to prevent getting lost in the desert, worrying about bad weather, sandstorms, or various dangerous events.
There are too many people and it’s crowded, so it’s not very safe.
Those who had no experience, no channels and were unwilling to take risks retreated.
Not everyone can make this kind of money.
The next day, Feng Yi turned on his phone and looked at what was going on online.
The kind of sand dug in meteorite-rich areas is named [Star Sand] by merchants, and online sales are particularly popular.
Feng Yi also saw a video in which the self-media interviewed a meteorite hunter and asked questions about meteorites and the sand.
The meteorite hunter spoke plausibly:
"It is true that unlicensed meteorites are not allowed to be sold, but we are not selling meteorites, we are only selling sand!"
"I don't even know if there are meteorite particles in it! There are no local regulations prohibiting the sale of sand!"
Obviously, the boundaries are blurred, but there is indeed no explicit rule prohibiting the sale of sand.
The sand in the desert is different from the river sand used in construction projects. It has different alkali content and plasticity. It does not meet the construction requirements. No one wanted to sell it in the past because it could not be sold at a high price.
It's different now.
After looking through the news, Feng Yi received a link sent to him by Wen Zhiyu, which was a live broadcast room on a certain live broadcast platform.
Click in, and the anchor inside is unpacking a package.
Nowadays, whenever there is something new on the Internet, or something suddenly becomes popular, these self-media bloggers are particularly keen and can always get it first through various methods.
The anchor had already opened the outer packaging of the express delivery and said in a complex emotional tone:
"I have told myself countless times to be conscious of leeks, but every time I can't control my hands and click to buy, I still have a strangely depressed mentality."
"This time we bought two more bottles online, gifts from a desert town!"
As he spoke, he took out two ten-centimeter-high glass bottles from the express box.
"One is the [Wish Star Bottle] which has been very popular on the Internet these days. I specially bought the star-shaped one."
"The other one is the one that just came out - the exploration version [Wish Star Bottle]!"
"Everyone knows that the Star Wish Bottle contains meteorite dregs. The authenticity is unknown. Anyway, it is quite expensive. If I buy a fake, I will probably be depressed for a longer time."
"Let's talk about the exploration version. It's just a pile of sand mixed with meteorite debris. The authenticity is unknown. This so-called exploration version is to let you experience a job similar to that of a gold digger. The difference is that you need to start from the beginning. Pick out meteorite particles as big as sesame seeds from the pile of sand, which may not even be as big as sesame seeds.”
"I think this kind of 'exploration' thing can't be done by a grumpy person. Oh my god! My eyes are already getting tired before it even starts!"
The anchor showed the exploratory version of the Star Wish Bottle containing meteorite fragments to the audience in the live broadcast room, and then picked up the bottle.
"There is a description on this jar. It says that the sand inside was dug from the area where the fire meteor exploded. The sand is randomly packaged, and it is unknown whether meteorites can be picked out of it."
"This exploration version of star sand... Oh! This stuff mixed with various impurities is called 'star sand'!"
The anchor couldn't help laughing when he said this.
"Rumors, uh... gossip, I don't know if it's true. The origin of this 'star sand' is said to be that a group of meteorite hunters saw Feng Yi picking small stones from the sand, and they realized it on the spot. One by one, they took large sacks and shoveled sand frantically, and then a flash of inspiration came up with an idea!"
"Then this one appeared, um... a local specialty of Tuojia Town."
"Yes, it's the Feng Yi you know! The one who is good at catching snakes... How do I know if he went to the desert to catch snakes... I really didn't mean to take advantage of his popularity, I just said what I know."
The anchor talked about the origin of this bottle of sand and brought the glass bottle close to the camera:
"Everyone, look carefully and testify for us, this It's unopened!"
"Looking at these yellow sands full of impurities, I always feel like I've been cheated. Every time I pay an IQ tax, I have a similar feeling."
"However, this exploration version is sold out very quickly once it is put on the shelves. This is a bottle that our company's employees rushed to grab, and we paid extra for air freight. We just received it."
"Let me explain again, from the moment we unpacked this bottle of sand, everything was done under everyone's eyes!"
"First, pour the sand on this table and spread it out..."
The anchor picked and picked in the sand, and finally picked out a few small black dots, which looked like gravel. After counting, there were barely ten grains.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I always feel that this thing is quite unreliable."
He came with a magnifying glass and looked at them one by one.
"After reading it, I feel it is even more unreliable."
Four more grains were filtered out.
There were only six black stones left in the porcelain white dish.
"Okay, according to the identification secrets I searched online, these are the most similar, and the rest can only be handed over to the machine."
"I don't know how many of these six are real, and it's possible that none of them are real."
"We will send all six to be tested. If they are real, they will not be returned. The whole packing process is under the camera, everyone supervises, and no one is missed... The four screened out? Oh my! Are you still afraid that I will keep them? Okay, I'll take pictures and post them on social platforms!"
The assistant next to him added: "If it is ordinary meteorite debris, it can also be taken back."
The anchor: "Oh yes, if it is an ordinary meteorite, it can be taken back, but if it is proved that it was the one that was blown up by aliens... ahem, it has great scientific research value, it must be handed over."
Someone in the barrage asked about the testing fee.
Anchor: "Testing fee? Oh, it seems that if it is confirmed to be the debris of the fire meteor, the testing fee can be waived. You can also get some points. Points are good, you can use them for buying a house, settling down, declaring personal income tax, professional titles, etc."
After that, the anchor sealed the packaged things, taped them, and then went out and drove directly to the nearest testing agency for testing.
It was indeed under the camera the whole process.
The bloggers have a strong desire to survive. They can use this to earn traffic, but the things that are suspected to be meteorites must be sent for testing.
Feng Yi looked at the number of views in his live broadcast room and was a little unbelievable.
Is it so popular?
Compare the number of views of this anchor's live broadcast a few days ago, and then look at today.
Are there really so many people interested in picking stones from the sand?
Look at the sold-out sign and the number of sales of the exploration version of the Star Wish Bottle on the shopping platform.
Is there really someone willing to spend so much money to buy sand?
Is it a personal pleasure? Or do they want to pick out meteorites and sell them for money with a gambler's mentality?
When Feng Yi was puzzled, he received another message from Feng Chi.
Feng Chi: [Brother! Are you still in Tuojia Town? ! ]
Feng Yi: [Well, what? ]
Feng Chi: [I want a Star Wish Bottle filled with Star Sand! There are too many fakes online! I can't buy it! ]
Feng Yi: [...Okay, I'll take a look. ]
After thinking about it, Feng Yi sent him another message: [Is this thing very popular? ]
Feng Chi: [It's okay, it's highly discussed. I have formed a group with a few friends and we are competing to see who is lucky enough to get a real meteorite! ]
Feng Yi really didn't expect that these sands could be sold nationwide in this way. No, it seems that there are also people abroad who are looking for agents to buy them!
Feng Yi didn't pack much at the time. His main target was the meteorite fragments, and Xiaojia dug them for the housekeeper.
If you want to pack sand, you have to find Wen Zhiyu and Pan Weining.
The two of them started working early in the morning. In order to facilitate the packaging and not to dirty the room, the two of them carried the sandbags directly to the indoor greenhouse on the second floor.
This house has not been occupied for a long time, so even if this greenhouse is built, there are no flowers planted, and it is an empty room.
The curtain is lowered to prevent people from outside from peeping.
Today they saw a self-media team with a drone, what if they were photographed?
This matter is not easy to make public.
The two were packing, and Feng Yi came over.
"Do you have extra sand here?"
Wen Zhiyu said: "How much do you want? Shovel it yourself."
Pan Weining pointed to the open sandbags: "Put them all on the side, just shovel as much as you want."
Wen Zhiyu laughed: "Someone asked you for it?"
Feng Yi said: "A cousin."
"Then you'd better prepare a few more copies. One of my cousins gave it to me, so the other brothers and sisters must not be in a mood...ah!"
Wen Zhiyu was slapped on the arm by Pan Weining with a shovel.
He suddenly came to his senses.
Oh, I seem to have heard that Feng Yi was not dealing with the Feng family in Yangcheng. As for siblings, they probably don't have a good relationship.
Look at my mouth!
Wen Zhiyu clapped his mouth, but forgot to hold the shovel in his hand. There was still sand on the shovel, so he shoveled it into his mouth.
"Pooh!"
He quickly spit out the sand in his mouth into the trash can, wiped the sand on his mouth with a paper towel, and then said to Feng Yi:
"Ahem! What's that? If you don't send it to relatives or friends, it will be fine to prepare a few more copies. Anyway, we dug a lot and it's enough."
Pan Weining also said: "Yes, we have enough. If you need it, just come over and shovel. The sandbags are placed here. We shoveled the sand with you, and you have a share in it."
Feng Yi was no longer polite: "Okay, I'll come over and shovel it if necessary."
After filling a bottle of sand, Feng Yi left first.
Only Wen Zhiyu and Pan Weining were left in the small greenhouse.
While dividing the sand, Wen Zhiyu lowered his voice and said: "Da Pan, what do you think the Yangcheng Feng family thinks? If our family has such a talent, we will have to support him and pile all kinds of resources on him!"
Pan Weining said: "Who knows. Anyway, you don't mention the Yangcheng Feng family in front of him."
Wen Zhiyu: "I know. How many bottles do you plan to fill with this sand?"
Pan Weining: "Ten large bottles and ten to twenty small bottles. No need to fill more. We will talk about it later."
Wen Zhiyu agreed: "I think so too. The situation is unclear now, and it is easy to get into trouble if you pretend too much."
There are no explicit regulations on it, and it doesn’t say what is not allowed, but there must be a limit. It’s okay if the quantity is not large, but if the quantity is large, it is easy to hit the line.
They are not meteorite hunters. They don't take this as a profession. Don't bring trouble to the family.
After filling the last bottle, Wen Zhiyu took out his mobile phone to check the news.
Seeing the latest push news, Wen Zhiyu said happily: "Wow, I just said it, isn't this coming!"
What this news said was that some criminals disguised meteorites as other ores and transported them out, but they were detained by the customs. Finally, they found a small group of meteorite hunters here in Tuojia Town.
There were pictures in the news. In addition to the batch of meteorites disguised as ores, there were also photos of the stronghold of the small group of meteorite hunters in Tuojia Town.
Wen Zhiyu's eyes swept through the pictures and quickly found the highlight.
He enlarged the picture of the stronghold of the meteorite hunter group and pointed to the upper right corner to show it to Pan Weining:
"Da Pan, is this an offering table? Do meteorite hunters still believe in God? What can they bless? A meteorite falling from the sky? I don't know who is on the offering table, but it's coded! Tsk!"
Pan Weining didn't pay much attention: "Maybe it's some kind of statue that can easily arouse public opinion."
Wen Zhiyu was curious: "I don't know which sect it is, whether it is serious or not."
On the other side, Feng Yi, who returned to the room, also saw the news just pushed on his phone.
Also notice the area in the corner of the picture for coding on the table.
"What sensitive elements are involved and do they need to be coded?"
However, Feng Yi saw it and put it aside, not taking it seriously.
He thought again of what Wen Zhiyu had just said, not that he was talking about relatives, but that Feng Yi was thinking of Xiao Wu and the Ancestor Factory.
He decided to wait for the Federal Bureau of Protection to return part of his sample and give them two pills.
This is certified by the Federal Security Bureau. There is no need to be secretive, everything can be revealed clearly.
After finishing packing the Tuojia Town specialties for Feng Chi, Feng Yi received a message from Team Leader Yuan.
Team leader Yuan asked him to go over and return the test sample part to him.
The address is not near the testing agency, but another temporary office location for the Joint Security Bureau and the Ministry of Security.
Half an hour later, Feng Yi arrived at the designated location.
Team leader Yuan had just finished answering a phone call and called Feng Yi over and handed him a small can.
Feng Yi opened it and took a look. It was the meteorite particles he had picked out, but the quantity returned was more than he expected.
Seeing Feng Yi's confusion, Team Leader Yuan said: "Testing agencies in various places have received meteorite samples one after another, ranging from particles as big as mung beans to dust-like particles."
Feng Yi understood as soon as he heard this.
Just like the anchor he saw today who was doing a live broadcast of picking rocks, many people bought the sand back and actually picked out the things and sent them for testing.
Even if only a part of them are sent for testing, the total number is still a lot.
Not to mention, the "Tuojia Town local specialties" are now on sale.
Since there are enough samples, there is no need to stick to the stones submitted by Feng Yi.
Team Leader Yuan handed him another certificate and an agreement.
Feng Yi had to sign it and promised that it would only be used for collection and not for trading.
It's all about process.
After Feng Yi signed, he thought he could leave, but unexpectedly Team Leader Yuan took out some photos.
"Today we are investigating a criminal gang, and I have something to show you."
Feng Yi looked over, his expression gradually solidifying.
These photos were very familiar. He had seen them when he was browsing the news today and wondered why the altar table had a code on it.
Now, what is in front of me is the uncensored version.
The offering table, offerings, and Feng Yi's own photo were placed in the middle.
It was taken while picking stones in the desert.
At that time, he was only wearing a hat, no sunglasses or a mask, and he was holding a small transparent jar filled with black stones in his hand.
Feng Yi:......
My face is almost split!
This horse riding...
What the hell...
"I have nothing to do with them!" Feng Yi said.
Team leader Yuan nodded, said nothing, and handed over another stack of photos.
Different places, different styles of altar tables, different offerings, and the same picture in the photo frame occupying position C.
Feng Yi: "..."
I don’t know who took these photos, but the pictures in the frames are very clear. The offerings on the offering table and in front of the photo frame are also clearly photographed.
Some are filled with fruits and flowers, and some are filled with chicken, duck, and fish, some raw and some cooked. There are also pig heads, cow heads, and sheep heads.
Not to mention the fake snakes and snake skins.
The most embarrassing thing is that there are candles on both sides and an incense burner in the middle. The smoke is lingering, as if the person in the photo frame has already transcended this world.
Feng Yi: "..."
Cheating your father!
Crazy!
Can these meteorite hunters be more particular?
I really don’t want this kind of core position!
Feng Yi wished he could slip into the photo and overturn all the altar tables!
Team Leader Yuan lowered his head slightly to hide the smile in his eyes, and when he raised it again, he returned to his usual seriousness.
Sign in!
