Repairer Chapter 42

  Chapter 42 Meteorite Hunter

   "Meteorite collections are becoming more and more popular now, and meteorite hunters have appeared in China."

  Jing Shizhen pointed to the meteorites in the glass cabinet and said: "I took these photos from abroad. The domestic meteorite market is not very mature yet, but the momentum of development is very good."

   "Meteorite hunter? How do you hunt this thing?" Zhao Zhengshan also got his attention and walked over.

   "Do hunters have to hunt?"

  Jing Shizhen shook his head and laughed, and said, "That's a group of people wandering in the deserted desert of Gobi. Wherever there are meteorites, there are their figures."

  According to Jing Shizhen, there are now more than 10,000 meteorite hunters in the world, and their main job is to search for fallen meteorites all over the world.

  There is no national law in the world that stipulates the ownership of meteorites, but those who find them are obliged to donate 20% of meteorites to academic institutions for research.

  Of course, if you don't donate, no one will hold you accountable, but you won't get official registration and certification, and you will encounter some troubles when you sell it on the market.

  Many wealthy people and research institutions now collect meteorites, so the income of meteorite hunters is very good. If they can find a rare meteorite, it is possible to sell it for tens of millions of dollars at a time.

   "There are relatively few of these things, and they were all snatched away as soon as they appeared. I only collected a dozen or so."

  Jing Shizhen has a keen sense of the market. He only dabbled in meteorite collection ten years ago, and he didn't have many collections.

  However, Jing Shizhen's collections are all fine meteorites. Compared with the original auction price, the value of his collection has increased a lot. However, the current domestic meteorite market still needs to warm up, and it needs to wait until the right time to sell.

   "Dad gave me a meteorite back then, but I don't know where it went."

  Su Xiaofan remembered his pendant before, the meteorites in front of him were about the size of an adult fist, and the small ones were not as big as his previous one.

  Concentrating habitually, Su Xiaofan looked at the meteorites, and immediately, the information of the meteorites appeared in his mind.

  【Repair value: 5 points! 】

  【Stone-Iron Meteorite: Unrepairable! 】

  【Glass meteorite: Absorbable, can it be absorbed? 】

   "This...this glass meteorite can be absorbed?"

  When he saw a glass-like meteorite with a fluorescent layer on the outside, the information that appeared in Su Xiaofan's mind immediately stunned him.

   Su Xiaofan, who was just casually looking around for the sake of gaining insight, never expected to come across a meteorite that could be absorbed by the repair system.

   This is the third object that Su Xiaofan encountered that could be absorbed by the repair system besides the high-level magic weapon and Yinsha stone. For a while, Su Xiaofan, who was not mentally prepared, was confused.

   "Don't absorb it!" Su Xiaofan refused to absorb it. With the experience of absorbing the Yin Sha Stone before, he was afraid that after absorbing it now, that glass meteorite would also turn into powder.

   "Xiao Su, what's wrong with you? Are you interested in these meteorites?"

  Seeing that Su Xiaofan's complexion was a bit wrong, Jing Shizhen thought that he had taken a fancy to his meteorite collection.

"interested in."

  Su Xiaofan suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said: "Uncle Jing, I was thinking just now, now that I am playing collection in China, which category is better to collect?

  But the existing calligraphy, painting and ceramics, including antiques and miscellaneous items, have been collected for a long time, just like you, you have hidden all the good things, and there are very few high-quality goods in the market.

  But meteorites seem to be different. Meteorite collections have only emerged in the last ten or twenty years, and prices have been on the rise.

  Besides, being a meteorite hunter seems pretty good too. Riding around the world alone with a bag on your back can also gain a lot of knowledge.

  Uncle Jing, what do you think of my special collection of meteorites? "

  In an instant, Su Xiaofan found an excuse for his gaffe just now, and at the same time forcibly moved his eyes away from the glass meteorite, looking at Jing Shizhen.

   "Collection of meteorites is quite suitable for new players, but this thing is not cheap."

  Jing Shizhen frowned slightly, and said: "Meteorite hunters are not so easy to do. They have to go to various no-man's lands frequently. It is very dangerous. If you have not been trained in wild survival, I advise you not to go."

  In Jing Shizhen's view, Su Xiaofan is the kind of passionate young man who imagined that traveling to the world would be extremely beautiful, but the reality would make Su Xiaofan regret it.

   To put it simply, Su Xiaofan has never been beaten by society, and he doesn't know the cruelty of society.

   "Uncle Jing, please tell me about these meteorites, so that I can improve my knowledge."

  Su Xiaofan pointed to the meteorites in front of him, especially the glass meteorite.

  “Meteorites are divided into several categories, mainly iron meteorites, stony meteorites and stony-iron meteorites…

  As the name suggests, iron meteorites contain iron ore factors, and stony meteorites are stony, and stony-iron meteorites are naturally mixed...

  In addition, there are some relatively rare meteorites, like this glass meteorite, which is extremely rare and very valuable..."

   "By the way, there is also a Martian meteorite here, which is the most expensive meteorite here..."

  Jing Shizhen introduced his collection to Su Xiaofan, following the direction of Jing Shizhen's finger, Su Xiaofan's eyes lit up immediately.

  【Martian Meteorite: Absorbable, can it be absorbed? 】

   Another meteorite that can be absorbed, Su Xiaofan didn't finish observing just now, unexpectedly there is something in the remaining meteorite that can be absorbed.

  Su Xiaofan simply concentrated and looked at the remaining seven or eight meteorites.

  【Steel Meteorite: Unrepairable! 】

  【Iron Meteorite: Unrepairable! 】

  【Stone-Iron Meteorite: Unrepairable! 】

  【Solar Storm Energy Factor Meteorite: Absorbable! Absorbable! Absorbable! 】

  Suddenly, when he saw the last meteorite that was only the size of a thumbnail, a line of completely different information appeared in Su Xiaofan's mind. Those three absorbable words and exclamation marks filled Su Xiaofan's mind.

  It is not that Su Xiaofan has not encountered objects that can be absorbed before, but the choice is all in Su Xiaofan, but the solar storm energy factor meteorite in front of him gave Su Xiaofan an extremely strong urge to absorb it.

"What exactly is this?"

  Su Xiaofan made great efforts to divert his attention away from the solar storm energy factor meteorite.

  Although he didn't look at that meteorite again, the desire to absorb that meteorite kept pounding Su Xiaofan's heart.

   "Uncle Jing, is this also a meteorite? It's so small, how can you be sure it's a meteorite?"

  As soon as Su Xiaofan opened his mouth, he felt his voice seemed a little hoarse, swallowed hard, and Su Xiaofan pointed to the last meteorite.

   "I'm really not sure if this piece is a meteorite."

Seeing the meteorite that Su Xiaofan was pointing at, Jing Shizhen shook her head and said, "This was found by a foreign meteorite hunter. It was discovered together with the Martian meteorite and attached to that Martian meteorite, so They brought them back together.

  However, after researching with some instruments, I couldn't analyze the specific composition of this small meteorite. I took all the auctions that were held together at that time. "

  Jing Shizhen couldn't explain the reason for that small meteorite. This should be a meteorite that has not been discovered and named yet. In Zang Jing Shizhen's view, it is also extremely valuable for collection.

   "Uncle Jing, I have decided that my future collection direction will be meteorite objects."

  Su Xiaofan did not hide his desire for these meteorites.

  In fact, the information constantly flashing in his mind made him unable to pretend to be calm anymore. Su Xiaofan had strong concentration for not forcibly absorbing the solar storm energy factor meteorite on the spot.

   "This road is not easy to walk..."

Jing Shizhen shook her head, and said, "Your collection of other antiques has been done by predecessors, and there is a lot of experience to learn from, but the collection of meteorites is something that has happened in the past ten years or so. If you buy a fake meteorite, the loss would be great."

  Jing Shizhen didn't know much about meteorite collection either. He just felt that this would be a hot spot in future collections. He made some layouts in advance, but he didn't focus on meteorite collection.

   "Uncle Jing, can you transfer the meteorite here to me?" Su Xiaofan said straight to the point.

  It doesn't matter whether Su Xiaofan wants those meteorites such as stone meteorites and iron meteorites, even the glass meteorites and Martian meteorites, Su Xiaofan can not.

   But the solar storm energy factor meteorite, Su Xiaofan is bound to get it, if he can't, he would rather take the risk and absorb the meteorite under Jing Shizhen's nose.

   "You want them all?"

  Jing Shizhen was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, he really didn't realize that Su Xiaofan was so decisive in doing things, and immediately took action when he saw his fancy.

  For collectors, this is a very good quality. The most feared thing about collecting is sticky thinking. When you figure it out, things will fly away.

   "If I can afford it, I want it all!"

  Su Xiaofan nodded, and said, "Uncle Jing, I don't know the price of meteorites. If you offer a price, I think it's suitable, so I accept it. It can be regarded as a bottom warehouse I built for meteorite collection."

   "What a mess, building a bottom position is stock speculation."

  Jing Shizhen scolded with a smile, "Collection should be called laying the foundation. With these meteorites as the foundation, if you can continue to find new meteorites, you can do it."

  Jing Shizhen originally took pictures of these meteorites abroad, which is actually the current idea, but the meteorite market in China is too cold, and he is busy with other affairs, so he can't take care of the warming up of the meteorite market.

   "I bought these meteorites in two auctions, one at the Great Britain auction and one at the New York auction."

Jing Shizhen pointed to the first few meteorites and said, "I didn't understand much at first. The photos were all iron meteorites and stone meteorites. The price is not very high. The ten meteorites in front add up to 140,000 yuan. many.

  But the meteorites in the back are much more expensive. The glass meteorite was taken for 380,000 yuan, and I almost missed it...

  The Martian meteorite is more expensive, I spent 1.28 million to get it, and there were more than ten people bidding at that time..."

   "Uncle Jing, where's the smallest meteorite?" Su Xiaofan asked, this was the one he was most concerned about.

   "That piece was auctioned for more than 30,000 yuan. Because I don't know the material and the size is too small, not many people bid with me."

   As for the objects that I have personally photographed, Jing Shizhen is naturally very rare.

   It's Monday again, brothers have support one or two
