1176. Meteorite hunter (5/5)
The Ford brothers intentionally knew Li Du, but they did not intend to talk to him about too much meteorites.
When they talked about meteorites, they just talked about the difficulty of finding meteorites. They had searched there, never talked about the purpose of finding meteorites, and how they planned to use them after finding meteorites.
It just so happened that Li Du didn't care about these things.
He felt that these things were unreliable, that were all messy about finding the fifth dimension, that traveling through time and space, that were time-consuming and time-consuming, and that were all about the origin of life.
Anyway, he will not spend his energy, financial resources and material resources to do such things. He would rather make money and build a comfortable living area where he likes, like these people.
He believes that Steve and Ford brothers are both rich and burned, and for them, taking risks and exploring these so-called unsolved mysteries may be a spiritual sustenance.
The Ford brothers were called by Steve, who specially studied the meteorite.
With this meteorite inspiration, they decided to go to Li Du to find the surrounding area of the meteorite the next day to search to see if they could find another one.
Newman invited Li Du to go with him, and Li Du happily agreed that he was quite interested in the job of Meteorite Hunter. If he found another ten or eight yuan, his bank card amount could grow again.
As long as there are no major storms in the warm Antarctic season, life is quite moist.
The sun was shining outside, and many seabirds flew over the camp, and Antarctica ushered in a period of great explosion of life in one year.
Li Du and Sophie strolled on the glacier, and after lunch they rode a dog sled along the glacier to watch the natural wonders on the ice cap.
There are many raised icebergs distributed on the flat ice sheet, with varying postures and amazing views.
After a day, they met with Steve and rushed to the beach again in the direction of yesterday.
The Ford brothers brought more people, and the two of them came fourteen or five.
After the two sides met, Newman briefly introduced Li Du, and they brought these people to hire meteorite hunters and professional meteorite hunters.
Yesterday, when I had nothing to do, Li Du went online to learn about this industry.
Meteorite collection has a very historical atmosphere. Since ancient China, craftsmen and royal families have begun to consciously collect foreigners these days.
In medieval Europe, people were more curious about meteorites and paid more attention to collecting meteorites. However, for many years, not many meteorites have appeared.
It was not until modern times that more meteorites were discovered.
Here we need to explain that the reason why people discovered more meteorites in modern times is not that there are more meteorites landed on Earth in modern times, but that people are more likely to identify the identity of meteorites now.
With the development of the aerospace industry, humans can fly to space and retrieve specimens from other planets in the solar system. With reference to these specimens, some meteorite identities were recognized.
In other words, it is not that humans discover meteorites first and then know the situation of other planets, but that they understand the structure of other planets before they can identify the meteorites falling on Earth.
Meteorites are valuable in terms of weight, historical value and scientific research value, and they are very rare, which leads to a further increase in their value.
Most meteorites are very similar to Earth's rocks, so it is generally difficult to distinguish. The probability of finding meteorites is very small. Even experienced meteorite hunters may take several years to discover a meteorite.
In this case, discovering a meteorite can make a fortune, but more meteorite hunters can't find one after working for several years, which is usually in vain.
Therefore, unlike other jobs, there are few meteorite hunters.
However, those who can survive in this industry must make money. At least they have found a meteorite that can maintain their household income and keep them in this industry.
Due to the small number of employees, meteorite hunters are inevitably arrogant and do not accept anyone.
After Steve brought Li Du to the arrival, the meteorite hunters did not come over and took the initiative to curry favor with them, but just stayed lazily on their sled car.
The Ford brothers seemed to feel bad about them. After seeing Li Du's arrival, Newman said coldly: "Mr. Li just discovered a meteorite weighing more than five kilograms. As far as I know, he is still a layman in this industry. I don't understand why you experts are not getting anything."
Li Du could understand his mood. It was not free to support these meteorite hunters. The Ford family offered them high salaries, and even if they had no gains, they would earn $10,000 a month.
In addition, because they come to work in Antarctica, this place is a dangerous area and their salary doubles.
In other words, the Ford family has to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars every month, but they have not gained anything for a long time. Naturally, people with a straightforward personality like Newman are very unhappy.
The Ford family are big American capitalists. They are willing to pay wages for workers, but they have to create matching value. For example, these meteorite workers only take money but don't get it. They are definitely unhappy.
A hunter took off his furry hat and exposed his big hairy beard. He touched his hair and said, "Mr. Ford, it takes the favor of luck to obtain meteorites. This is what we made clear at the beginning, not to mention that we used to work in Siberia and the Arctic, which is not the working environment we are familiar with."
When Li Du heard that they were working in Siberia and the Arctic, he and Steve made an appointment to go to the Arctic. Maybe they should talk to these people and increase their experience.
Newman rolled his eyes and discussed today's search plan with Steve. The hunters were lazy again, some of whom were holding cigarettes and began to suck up the clouds.
Li Du walked over and reminded with kindness: "The Antarctic ecosystem is very fragile. It is not easy to solve the pollution here after it occurs. It is best not to smoke."
The hunter looked at him coldly and said, "Pollution? Can we smoke a cigarette compare to the pollution created by factories under you big capitalists in one second?"
"Stop stumbling on horseback and meddle in other people's business. Your good luck can guarantee that you will find a stone, but it will not guarantee that you can avoid it when facing my fist." Another big man said carelessly.
Brother Wolf had a cold expression. He walked out from behind Li Du, ready to teach this man a lesson at any time.
Li Du didn't expect that his reminder made everyone so hostile to him, so he laughed and said, "Hey, I'm not a big capitalist. I'm a meteorite hunter like you now."
A big man raised his middle finger at him and smiled contemptuously: "Just like us? Wow, we are so honored to be able to do the same job as a rich man like you. But do you know meteorites? You think this is just a coincidence that you can find a stone and then become a meteorite hunter, right?"
Li Du touched his chin. These people seemed very rebellious. It would probably not be so easy for him to get some news about Siberia from these people.
