Chapter 533: Chapter 351 Supply Up_3

Team Leader Yuan carefully examined the photos and asked, "Is this crystal structure inherent in celestial bodies, or did it form when the meteoroid exploded during its fall?"

The detection analyst said, "We lean toward the latter. The conditions required to form this type of crystal structure are extremely stringent and might have involved a significant energy exchange within a very short period of time.

"According to the data we have collected through detection analysis, we found that this fire meteor is likely from the same parent body as another fire meteor discovered more than a decade ago. However, the special crystal structures inside them are different. We can use this crystal structure to distinguish the samples."

After a pause, the detection analyst added, "As I mentioned earlier, it contains a unique crystal structure. We speculate that a massive energy exchange once occurred on that fire meteor, resulting in a high-intensity explosion. It’s highly likely that we won’t find large meteorite fragments, so you should be prepared for this when you go out to collect samples."

Team Leader Yuan nodded, "So, it’s very likely that only tiny particles or even smaller dust particles fell to Earth?"

"That’s correct."

"Continue the analysis."

"Yes, the work is already in progress. We will compare more samples, and follow-up detections will also continue."

The head of the security department, who was listening, said, "It really was Feng Yi who first brought in the sample."

Team Leader Yuan smiled and then looked back at another person, "When Feng Yi brought these samples over, did he say anything else?"

The person replied, "He did. He mentioned that after testing here, he wants to apply to keep a portion for his collection."

Experts within the Joint Conservation Bureau do indeed have the right to make such requests; if there are enough samples, they can apply to keep a portion for themselves. They can legally retain and collect the samples, but they can’t trade them.

However, now, with further tests still underway, and many decisions requiring discussion, both Team Leader Yuan and the security department could not approve this request immediately.

Team Leader Yuan’s gaze swept over the various samples laid out beside him, which fell into the category of being less important after identification.

One of the boxes bore the label with Feng Yi’s name.

"What are those?" asked Team Leader Yuan.

"Oh, those are sorted out from the samples that Feng Yi brought over. Almost half of the contents in one jar turned out to be non-meteoritic particles."

"So many are not meteorites?" Team Leader Yuan was surprised.

"It’s quite normal. After all, without precise identification tools and relying only on subjective judgment, having half of the returned samples be genuine is already not an easy feat!"

Team Leader Yuan looked at the sorted non-meteoritic small particles without a word.

He didn’t say whether he believed it or not.

In fact, Feng Yi had deliberately mixed them in.

Feng Yi was very clear that if all the particles he brought were meteoritic, it wouldn’t be normal in terms of accuracy.

Therefore, to lower the accuracy, Feng Yi intentionally mixed in some non-meteoritic particles that looked similar.

At the moment, Feng Yi was in his room feeling somewhat anxious.

He was uncertain about how much had been detected at the detection agency.

He also wanted to know whether using the energy material to detonate the fire meteor had altered the structure of the meteorite in any way.

While his mind was occupied with these matters, he was cleaning glass bottles.

Of the glass bottles he had bought today, he chose two without patterns.

One was slightly smaller, about the size of an adult’s thumb including the cork stopper. Feng Yi intended to use this small glass bottle for the meteorite particles, and once his application was approved, he could fill it.

The other was the size of a palm and star-shaped, intended for storing the sand he had collected.

Before he finished cleaning the last glass bottle, Feng Yi received a message.

It was from Team Leader Yuan, informing him that a part of the samples he had sent had been identified as authentic, and after data analysis, they were very likely to be debris from this fire meteor. Further testing was ongoing.

This result was within Feng Yi’s expectations, but he did not receive the information he was seeking.

However, seeing this, Feng Yi understood that the Joint Conservation Bureau and the security department would soon release new information regarding this fire meteor incident.

Since part of the test results were available, they could be disclosed to the public.

As Feng Yi had thought, half an hour later, the announcement was made.

This incident had significant impact, attracting high levels of both domestic and international attention. The announcement was made after multiple departments held meetings to discuss it.

The specific detection data was not disclosed; only a statement was made saying that the metal content such as iron and nickel in the meteorites from the fire meteor fall was not high. Thus, the iron meteorites being sold on the market were not fragments of the fire meteor that had garnered widespread attention. It was also announced that the meteorite had significant scientific research value!

Veteran meteorite hunters were not intimidated by this announcement; quite the contrary, they were very excited!

There has always been controversy in the meteorite field, with many loopholes to exploit.

Can’t get a certificate? Then don’t bother with one, we don’t need it!

We won’t sell the meteorites directly; we’ll sell sand!

We’ll sell star sand!

Ha ha ha!!

They had their own channels for information.

Even if they couldn’t obtain precise and detailed data, they could still get a general idea.

For example, the meteorite classification related to that fire meteor.

For example, who submitted the first real sample for identification.

And for example, the sampling area range...

The vendors of Tuo Jia Town gathered to discuss and set the prices for various goods for the next day.

The price of empty glass bottles was definitely going to increase, affecting the price of the star wish bottles as well.

The price of the star sand soared even more!

The vendors who had already sold a large number of empty glass bottles were now full of regret—they sold them too cheap!

Meanwhile, on the e-commerce platforms, several merchants listed star sand and star wish bottles from Tuo Jia Town for sale overnight, and they were selling like hotcakes!

As soon as the links went live, they sold out in less than half an hour!

In the nightly setting of Tuo Jia Town, one off-road vehicle after another headed toward the desert. They had no choice; they needed to restock!

The old meteorite hunters of Tuo Jia Town:

"Quick! Set up the stand, make offerings! Get Feng Yi worshipped!"
