In the seventies and eighties, the Geological Bureau staff had done geological mapping, artificial heavy sand, and other samples of the Rao Yan meteorite pit. This place was also a suspected meteorite pit that Chinese scholars had been paying attention to before.
However, none of the previous work has obtained the data of rock and mineral shock metamorphism in the pit area, especially the key evidence such as the missing quartz and other minerals, such as the impact deformation page. The meteorite impact origin of the pit has not been verified.
Now that he suddenly saw a piece of high-density coconut quartz, it meant that one of the key pieces of evidence had been found. If he could find more evidence, wouldn't that mean that this place was a real meteorite pit?
The moment he thought that the answer to the riddle would most likely be revealed due to him coming here, Chen Zhian immediately became excited. He no longer bothered with questioning Guo Tai Lai and started to tremble while hugging the small piece of coalescing quartz, worrying Li Yuzhu who was watching from behind.
"Brother Chen, don't get so excited. You can look around and maybe find something." Seeing that, Guo Tai Lai shook his head, and shouted at Chen Zhian: "There's a ditch at the bottom of the pit, go look!"
Amongst the four of them, only Guo Tai Lai had the vigor of a locksmith these few months, and Old Wang's military background was not bad, although Chen Zhian was a geologist, he would definitely not be able to do this kind of work, so it would be better to find him some work, so that he would not disturb himself.
Usually, if this type of meteorite pit had a ditch, there was a high chance that it would have some exposed rock layers, and on top of them, there was a high chance that they would be able to find some strongly deformed quartz particles. Of course, Fatty clearly knew that this was definitely a meteorite pit.
Chen Zhian went over to look for it. If he was lucky, he would be able to find some deformed particles of a structure that could prove that this was a meteorite pit. If he was unlucky, he might be able to see the structure of the page at a glance.
"What should I do?" Li Yuzhu's confidence in Guo Tai Lai increased greatly as he asked him.
On the way, Chen Zhian gave everyone the evidence of a meteorite pit. Therefore, Li Yuzhu also knew that if they found the quartzite, they would have a huge possibility. If he could find it, he might be able to find some extremely strong alloy recipes.
It proved that the meteorite pit was Chen Zhian's specialty, but searching for the Heat-Resistant Alloy Recipe was his own business. Right now, Li Yuzhu was getting impatient.
"It's still early, rest over there Sister Li. If we find any useful stones while we're at it, you can help Brother Chen store them first." Guo Tai Lai said while waving his pickaxe. He couldn't just let Li Yuzhu do all the hard work, right?
It's easy to dig a few dozen centimeters, but it's not that easy to dig seven meters down. The hole had to be at least a few meters wide. Otherwise, even the earth that was dug out of the tube wouldn't know how to dig it.
Looking at Guo Tailai and Old Wang's struggling figures, Li Yuzhu couldn't help but stroke her forehead and close her eyes.
Old Wang was a soldier, and had always been hardworking. It was normal for him to not play any tricks when working hard. But Fatty, as a student of the Waterwood University, you just want to dig seven meters deep into the frozen earth by yourself.
"I will gather a few villagers and hire them to dig!" Li Yuzhu could no longer bear to watch, he shook his head, called out to Old Wang and had him come over to drive him back to the village.The fatty also realized that he was a bit stupid, so he simply sat on the side and waited. If he didn't have to put in a bit of effort, he would definitely be happy.
In the rural areas of Liaoning Province, there was definitely nothing to do at this time. Since there were people from the city looking at the license plates, and the people from Beijing hired them to dig a big hole and earn some extra money, everyone was quite happy. Not long after, seven to eight able-bodied laborers rushed over with tools and started to dig at the areas that Fatty had dug up.
This area was covered in weathering soil that was eight or nine meters deep, and the soil was fertile. Luckily, Guo Tailai was confident that he could dig it out in one or two days. If he went any deeper, it would be rock stratum.
The more people there were, the stronger they would be. With only seven to eight men working together, the efficiency would be increased by several times. In just an hour, they had already dug down to two meters. Among them, the stones that were as big as a fist were kept together by Li Yuzhu and waited for him to come back to inspect them.
Guo Tailai walked along the slope and entered the two meter deep pit. When he reached the bottom and leaned over, he received a signal from the control system.
"The nanobot has been discovered within a five meter radius, hibernating while carrying the data. Activate?"
Guo Tailai was overjoyed. The position was right, it was here. Within a radius of five meters, it meant that the distance to the nanobot was less than five meters, and it was right below his feet.
Of course he couldn't activate it now. Who knew how much energy he still had left, if it was activated now and when he reached the bottom it would exhaust all of his energy, wouldn't that be a tragedy?
The moment he thought about the ten thousand nanobot s with data on them at his feet, Guo Tai Lai acted like Chen Zhian who had just found Ke Jing. He was a little restless as he continued to walk around the pit.However, the deeper one went into the pit, the smaller the area became. There were less people that could fit inside, so naturally, the digging slowed down. By nightfall, they had managed to dig more than four meters and were about three meters away from the bottom.
A total of four people stayed in this village.Chen Zhian was even more excited than Guo Tailai and Li Yuzhu, because he really found the deformed quartz particle in the gully. Although he did not find the facial features, these findings were already enough to make Chen Zhian extremely excited. He already had a 90% assurance that he was a meteorite pit.
The only call from the village committee could only be made in market language, it could not be long-distance. Chen Zhian could only wait until tomorrow morning before calling a party to come to the village to analyze the situation.
Guo Tai Lai was sure that there was a nanobot down there, and only Li Yuzhu had not found anything. She was a little anxious.The morning of the second day, Chen Zhian and Li Yuzhu sat together in Dazhi to the county city to make their phone calls. Chen Zhian immediately contacted his unit and sent someone over. However, Li Yuzhu immediately called Zhao Yanyan.
"Yan Yan, is this fatty some kind of master?" The first sentence that came out of the phone was when Li Yuzhu asked Zhao Yanyan.
"Who?" Fatty? Master? " Zhao Yanyan listened to Li Yuzhu's music, "Is she even a master?"
"But he's never been here before. He just stood there with his eyes closed for a while and then pointed to a place. After digging for a few times, he dug out a piece of coconut quartz and said that the iron meteorite was down there. Li Yuzhu said with a wry smile.
"Are you kidding?" Zhao Yanyan was stunned, how could there be such a reaction?
