Many people gathered in Henan to form an army looking for meteorites. On February 6, 65438, the reporter learned that in recent days, many foreigners gathered in the suburbs of Zhumadian, Henan Province to look for meteorites. I heard that they can get rich overnight. Many people gathered in Henan to form an army looking for meteorites.
A week before many people gathered in Henan to form an army looking for meteorites, many places in Henan suddenly lit up in the early morning, and some citizens photographed this scene and heard loud noises. According to this sign, it is suspected that there are meteorites falling in Tanghe area. Although it's been about a week. However, the problem of "meteorite search" has never stopped. Many Henan citizens are still looking for meteorites and once again rushed to the "hot search".
What happened? Indeed, there are many people looking for meteorites in Henan. Some people have been looking for them for three days, hoping to realize their dream of getting rich overnight. But there are also many people who are hotly discussing, is there really gold in meteorites? Even if it is found, shouldn't it be handed in? Let's have a look.
Where did the meteorite come from?
To put it bluntly, meteorites are actually what we call "space rocks", that is, some rocks from outside the earth. Of course, there are many space meteorites falling in China. For example, in Yushu, Qinghai in 2020, a meteorite was suspected to have fallen, and many people began to look for meteorites. However, it is not clear whether they have been found. In 20 19, there was also a meteorite fall in Jilin. So relatively speaking, a meteorite will fall every three or five times. Of course, there are foreign ones.
In the solar system, we have a hometown area called "Meteorite", which is an asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. This area is often "orbit-poor", and the asteroids on it keep colliding, sometimes being hit, and the asteroids split and enter the earth's orbit. When they deviate from the orbit, they may enter the atmosphere and then rub with the atmosphere to produce meteors.
Meteor is not the final "belonging", it will decompose again. Because of the high temperature and high pressure caused by friction and the imbalance inside the meteor, it may eventually explode and form a meteor shower. Those that are not burnt out will fall to the earth and become meteorites. This is what it looks like. Of course, meteorites not only appear in this asteroid belt, but also in other areas, and there is no specific area.
Is there really gold in meteorites?
Indeed, the value of meteorites is not low Moreover, the prices of different meteorites are different, which has a certain relationship with the quality. In addition, it is a scarce material, which is more prone to price deviation. For example, a gram of meteorite also appeared at the price of1.20,000 yuan. Therefore, if you can find such a good meteorite, it must be a good thing. Who doesn't want to "get rich overnight" and who doesn't want to get a "stuffing cake"? Is there really gold in meteorites?
Meteorites can be roughly divided into three types: stone meteorites, iron meteorites and mixed meteorites. The average density of meteorites is between 3 and 3.5, and the main component is silicate. At the same time, it also contains minerals such as iron, nickel and silicate. If it is a meteorite with high carbon content, it also contains a lot of organic matter such as ammonia, nucleic acid and fatty acid. Therefore, before the discovery of meteorites, all variables existed. If this meteorite is bad, it is useless to find it.
According to scientific estimates, the earth receives 50,000 tons of such "gifts" every day. But most of them burn out above the ground, so few can fall to the ground, even if they fall to the earth, it is difficult to find them. The largest meteorite in the world today is-1March 8, 976, which fell on the outskirts of Jilin, China, weighing 1770 kg. It is the heaviest stone meteorite collected in the world so far, with a scale of 30 cm.
Get to the point, does that meteorite contain gold? In fact, from the formation process of meteorites, we know that meteorites contain very little gold, but there is really gold, but maybe not all meteorites have it. Just like iron meteorites, there are only about 2 grams of gold in 1 ton iron meteorites (there may be differences between different meteorites). Do you talk much? Certainly not much. Therefore, if you want to "get rich overnight" by gold in meteorites, this may not be feasible.
However, although there is little gold in meteorites, they are of high value and are difficult to obtain in the scientific community, so they are often recycled at high prices. At the same time, many individual collectors will also buy at high prices.
For example, a village in Turkey became rich because a meteorite fell to the local area, and each villager had a meteorite of 1.3 pound, worth about 420,000 RMB. Therefore, selling meteorites can really achieve "getting rich overnight", mainly depending on the value of meteorites you get. Not all meteorites are valuable.
If you find it, count it as your own, or do you need to hand it in?
Indeed, if you find the "cake in the sky" yourself, the first thing you think of is "getting rich". And many citizens in Henan are still looking for meteorites, looking for them day and night. If they find out, if they hand it in, they will be accused of "500 yuan money+a banner". Is that so? In fact, in our country, if the meteorite is really found by itself, there is no express provision on whether to hand it in.
China's constitution and property law stipulate that natural resources belong to the state and are prohibited from being occupied by any organization or individual. However, it is not clear whether meteorites belong to natural resources as foreign bodies in space. Therefore, it is entirely up to you to pay or not, and most meteorite transactions are circulated among the people.
But then again, meteorites do have great scientific value and play a great role in understanding the changes of the solar system, asteroids and celestial bodies. So, if you find it yourself, you'd better hand it in. At the same time, if meteorites are not handled well, they may also pose a threat to themselves. Because many space rocks may have radiation and other problems, they may go wrong if they are not careful. This is the general situation.
Many people gathered in Henan to form an army looking for meteorites. On February 6, 265438, the reporter learned that in recent days, many foreigners have gathered in the suburbs of Zhumadian, Henan Province. In fact, foreigners are working or traveling everywhere, but these people are not here to find meteorites to work and travel. It is said that they can get rich overnight.
How do these people know there are meteorites here? According to the reporter's understanding, at about 2 am on the 29th of last month, a fireball did not completely burn after passing through the atmosphere, and finally it was scattered in Henan Province.
According to the monitoring of foreign space agencies, these meteorites are scattered outside Zhumadian. As soon as the news came out, many foreigners came to Zhumadian to look for meteorites on the vast land.
So the reporter went to the suburbs of Zhumadian to find out. Sure enough, after arriving at the site, he saw many people walking back and forth in the field with some simple tools, and others were checking the ground with metal detectors in their hands.
After the reporter asked, he learned that these people are the people looking for meteorites. According to one of the treasure hunters, after burning at high temperature, these meteorites have smooth surfaces and are easy to identify. They can be found with simple tools without metal detectors.
According to the reporter, he has been here for three days. These people come from all over the country and even first-tier cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Everyone came here to look for meteorites with the dream of getting rich overnight.
According to a local who lives nearby, these people have been here for a few days and have not heard that anyone has found a meteorite. In fact, although these meteorites are scattered in this place, Zhumadian is so big that the probability of finding meteorites is too low, which is similar to the probability of winning the first prize in the lottery.
Even so, these people with dreams are still unwilling to give up this opportunity of getting rich overnight, and still insist on staying here to continue looking for meteorites.
After the reporter posted the video online, it triggered a hot discussion among netizens. Some netizens said: You may not win the lottery once in your life, but you can find some meteorites all your life.
Some netizens said: I knew everyone couldn't sit still at home. I also saw a meteor that night. The scattered place is just at the junction of Zhumadian and Zhoukou, but it should not be so easy to find.
As long as you have more than two yuan, you can buy lottery tickets all your life, but you can't look for meteorites all your life, because people need to work to support their families, so it is impossible to work and look for meteorites all the time, and it is inconvenient to move even when they are old. How to find meteorites?
Then why do these people think that finding meteorites will make them rich overnight? That's because some people in their circle say that this kind of fireball contains a lot of gold. As long as a meteorite is found, it is equivalent to finding gold.
In fact, even if there is gold in meteorites, it is rare, and looking for meteorites on the vast land is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and the chances of finding meteorites are too low.
Moreover, meteorites are priceless only in the hands of researchers. In the hands of ordinary people, they are useless, no different from ordinary stones.
Instead of spending time and energy looking for meteorites, it is better to spend time and energy on work and study, improve your skills and abilities, and earn more money at work. Of course, anyway, I wish them a dream of getting rich overnight.
Many people gathered in Henan to form an army looking for meteorites. In our life, almost everyone fantasizes about the beauty of getting rich overnight. But everyone has dreams, but few people really want to realize them, because such things are quite a test of luck. It is not impossible to force, it is impossible to stop, and it is impossible to get rich overnight.
So in reality, does anyone get rich overnight? You can definitely say "yes", but it's too little! There is not even a chance of one in ten thousand, but this dream may come true in the next few days, because with the meteorite falling in Henan the night before yesterday, there have been troops searching for meteorites in many places in Henan recently, and it is suspected that someone has found them?
Meteorite landed in Henan
According to media reports:165438+1At around 02: 06 am on October 29th, netizens in Nanyang, Luohe, Zhumadian, Xinyang and Suizhou in Hubei witnessed the scene of a meteorite falling. It is speculated that the falling meteorite should be a meteorite with a diameter of about 50 cm to 1 m, and the falling time is between 202 1 year 1 12: 06: 45 and 55 seconds Beijing time.
According to the video, there should be debris falling on the surface of this meteorite, and the falling place should be located in the area west of tanghe county-Sheqi County-Biyang County-suiping county. Moreover, according to the meteorite falling scene photographed on the Internet, it is preliminarily judged that the meteorite exploded in the air after entering the earth's atmosphere, but there are still fragments falling to the surface.
According to eyewitnesses, I did see an unknown object flying over the night sky. In addition, netizens in Zhumadian, Henan Province, said they heard voices, but thought they were shooting and fell asleep again. After studying and analyzing the video, experts said: This is most likely a fireball, so what is a fireball? Why is it accompanied by strong light? What about after the explosion?
Fireballs are occasional meteors. Usually, the brightness of the fireball is very high, and it flies across the sky like a huge sparkling dragon. Some fireballs will rustle, some fireballs will explode, and a few fireballs with very high brightness can be seen during the day.
Hundreds of meteorites fall to the earth every year all over the world. If the meteorite is small, it will be burned by the friction of the earth's atmosphere after entering the earth's atmosphere, and it will decompose before it completely reaches the surface. If the individual of the meteorite is relatively large, it will stay after the friction of the atmosphere, and the rest will fall on the earth, forming a meteorite.
The value of meteorites
So what is the value of meteorites? The main value is collection and scientific research. The cosmic information carried by meteorites can make people understand outer space and has irreplaceable scientific research value. Although a large number of meteorites land every year, most of them burn out before they completely land on the ground, and only a small number of meteorites land on the ground, so each meteorite is quite precious and has more precious collection value than diamonds.
In recent years, the collection of meteorites is hot, and now there are many kinds of meteorites on the market, such as: stone meteorites, stone meteorites, iron meteorites, glass meteorites, moon meteorites, Martian meteorites and so on. Moon meteorites and Martian meteorites are relatively rare species and the most expensive.
These materials from outer space are hard to come by. Since the second half of the last century, the value of meteorites has soared, far higher than the value of gold! At present, the value of meteorites on the market depends on their types. For example, the price per gram of stone meteorites is about 1000-2000 yuan; The price per gram of stone iron meteorite is about 3000-4000 yuan; The price of iron meteorite per gram is about 6000-8000 yuan; Glass is about 1- 1.5 million yuan per gram of meteorite; The price per gram of lunar meteorites is about 20,000-30,000 yuan; Mars meteorite is about 50,000-80,000 yuan per gram.
20 18 A meteorite fell in Yunnan. At that time, a meteorite hunter found a meteorite fragment weighing about 20 grams, and later sold it at a high price of 666,000 yuan, with an average value of more than 30,000 grams, but this price is not the most expensive. In 2020, a villager in Indonesia accidentally picked up a strange stone. After testing, it was a meteorite formed 4.5 billion years ago. This meteorite was bought by the research institute at a high price of 1.2 1.5 million.
With the rising price of meteorites year by year, a profession has been born, that is, meteorite hunters. They follow the footsteps of falling meteorites, like hunters, looking for prey from outer space and wandering in the Gobi desert. There are more than 10,000 meteorite hunters all over the world. They mainly make a living by looking for falling meteorites.
Looking for meteorites
The meteorite that fell in Henan attracted a large number of "meteorite hunters" to seek treasure. According to a reporter from Zhumadian Station of Henan TV Station, a meteorite hunter was interviewed on the spot: I came here for the third day with the dream of getting rich overnight, in order to find meteorites. When the reporter asked him where he came from, the meteorite hunter said: There are people everywhere in Beishangguang.
According to the meteorite hunter, it is relatively easy to find meteorites, and you don't need a metal detector, because the appearance of meteorites is relatively smooth, but the probability of finding them is too low, just like the probability of buying lottery tickets. The influx of so many troops looking for meteorites has brought great uncertainty to the local epidemic prevention, and the place where the meteorites fell is still in the mountains.
The reporter interviewed the on-site staff and said: As long as people enter the mountain, all lighters are put in boxes at the epidemic inspection point and cannot be taken to the mountain. They can't go in unless they put them in the box. According to Ma, the mayor of Magutian Town, Biyang County, there are many people looking for meteorites in Magutian Town these days, and five temporary checkpoints for epidemic prevention and control have been added. It is forbidden to register with real name and scan code for temperature measurement, and it is forbidden to register people with red code, yellow code or body temperature over 37 3 at the police station.
Nonsense of Jiaolong Rescue Team in Zhumadian City: We remind meteorite hunters not to bring kindling into the mountains, pay attention to personal safety, and must leave the mountains before dark. So far, we have not received a similar rescue mission, and we have made full preparations.
A few days after the meteorite landed, meteorite hunters have gathered to look for it. There are indeed many people in the video! So is it really that simple to find meteorites? So many people look for meteorites, it is estimated that they all understand one thing, that is, where there are so many meteorites, how can they be found so easily? Although we know the range of meteorite landing, this range is too large. If you want to find it, it is entirely by luck. How lucky we are to find it! But according to the latest news, it is suspected that someone has discovered it?
Someone found it?
It's been a week since the meteorite landed. Villagers near the meteorite landing site have moved all the black stones they can find home, and there are a large number of treasure hunters from other places. Every day, there is a lot of news that meteorites have been found. Now the video of looking for meteorites is flying all over the sky. Have you really found it?
According to meteorite lovers, these are not real meteorites. As long as everyone's enthusiasm is there, it is only a matter of time before we find the meteorite. So did you find the meteorite? This is hard to say clearly! Because most of these people looking for meteorites are enthusiasts or villagers, not researchers, that is to say, people looking for meteorites probably don't know about meteorites, or even have never seen them in reality.
Even if the meteorite is in sight, they may not know each other. With the development of the Internet, although the appearance and appearance of meteorites can be found, how many people have seen meteorites in reality? And there are too many rocks similar to meteorites, and the appearance is not black or smooth! Probably just an ordinary stone!
However, it does not rule out that some villagers who don't know about meteorites have moved these black stones home. After this storm of searching for meteorites, it is estimated that many people will collect meteorites. These are knowledgeable people. It should be noted that you should not be cheated by these people.
So if you find a meteorite, can you have it? China's constitution and property law stipulate that natural resources belong to the state and are prohibited from being occupied by any organization or individual. However, it is not clear whether meteorites belong to natural resources as foreign bodies in space.
In other words: "If you are lucky enough to find it, you may get rich overnight", which is why a large number of villagers are looking for meteorites nearby and why so many meteorite hunters are involved in the search. With so many people looking for it, do you believe you can find meteorites? Do you think you can get rich overnight if you find it? If you were not far from the falling point of the meteorite, would you look for it?
