"Not only is Vera my student, the National University's Space Environment Laboratory was established by me and my teachers during the Soviet era." Galkin said nonchalantly, as to how much content there is in this statement is a matter of opinion.

Shi Quan was not serious and handed the photo he had printed in advance to Galkin, "I need you to go to Mongolia with us to identify all the types of meteorites we purchased from there, and to evaluate and return them.

For the whole process of selling to Russia, you can get 5% of the net profit.”

"How about 10%?"

Galkin glanced at the photo and pushed it to Shi Quan, "Most of the things that can be identified in the photo are stony-iron meteorites, which may not be worth a lot of money, but fortunately there are a lot of them, and I can help you get them."

They sell for a high enough price."

"The seller is my friend, and I need to leave enough profit for him." Shi Quan nodded calmly.

"Young man, meteorites fall from the sky. Profits are made from the buyers." Galkin ate a cucumber in two bites, took out a silver wine flask from his arms and took a sip, "Don't worry.

Well, you won’t let your friends suffer.”

"10% is no problem." Shi Quan tossed a tomato up and down, "But you can only get it after you help us sell all the meteorites."

"When shall we set off?" Galkin raised the flask, "Would you like a sip of whiskey?"

Shi Quan waved his hand, "We will leave in about two to three days, you can..."

"If you don't mind, can I pitch a tent here?"

Galkin pointed to the shadow under the tall oak tree behind him, "I originally planned to go to Chita to look for meteorites, so I brought a tent and sleeping bag. If I go back, I will waste gas."

"No need to set up a tent, there are rooms here for you to stay."

Shi Quan helplessly patted his forehead. He had the illusion of inviting a wolf into the house. As the saying goes, Galkin clearly wanted Shi Quan to arrange a place for him to live.

"Your place is an excellent place for stargazing. Do you mind if I put the telescope on the roof at night?" Galkin asked eagerly.

“Very concerned!”

Shi Quan did not have the habit of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. "Your room is on the third floor. Only internal personnel can go up to the third floor. Besides, we have installed important equipment on the roof."

"It doesn't matter here."

Galkin had a good temper. He took a bundle of canvas out of the shabby van and spread it under the shade of the tree, and then unloaded boxes of various sizes.

"Are you preparing to shoot meteors?" Shi Quan squatted aside and watched Galkin assemble various parts and an astronomical telescope that was half a meter thick and about one meter long.

"You can't use this big guy to shoot meteors." Galkin grinned and showed his big gold teeth. "I have been trying to use astronomical telescopes to find traces of the Salyut-7 space station. Although it is difficult, if I can find it, there will definitely be traces.

Extraordinary meaning!”

"Then look for it slowly!" Shi Quan stood up, "Do you need us to prepare equipment for identifying meteorites in advance?"

"No, I have them in my car. Just give me enough space to put them in when the time comes." Galkin said without raising his head.

Too lazy to pay attention to this weird old man, Shi Quan locked the barbed wire gate and went straight back to the radar station.

Two days passed by in a flash, and the club members who had finished their vacation rushed back to the radar station with various gifts and hometown specialties.

"The basic situation is this. Optimistically, it is not expected to take up too much time."

In the spacious conference room, the seats of Big Ivan and his wife were occupied by the newly joined Asak and the hired Galkin. People in the room stared at the road map printed on the curtain and listened to Shiquan's introduction.

"Leizi, are the supplies ready?"

"Everything is ready."

He Tianlei flipped through his notebook and read one by one, "The five vehicles are full of oil, water and electricity. The people in Haining did a comprehensive inspection yesterday and they are in good condition without any problems. Except for 10 SKS rifles in the container,

In addition to 1,000 rounds of ammunition, ten solar panels and supporting batteries, the remaining space is filled with various storable fruits, and we also brought a few bear skins we seized in the Arctic Circle."

Shi Quan nodded with satisfaction and looked at Liu Xiaoye, who understood it and continued the topic, "There are enough medicines on the medical vehicle. Even if we encounter the same situation as last time, we will be able to complete the decontamination operation alone.

Since we are going to the grassland, everyone should be vaccinated against the plague. However, considering that we will not stay there for too long and the vaccine will take about 10 days to take effect, it actually does not make much difference whether or not we are vaccinated.

Anyone who wants to be vaccinated against plague can come to me. The key point is not to eat raw meat and drink raw water in pastoral areas, let alone have close contact with animals."

"The industrial drone I bought from Ono has been debugged."

Elena followed up and said, "It's still a product of the Chinese company. There are three aircraft in total. They can fly remotely up to 15 kilometers, and the time in the air is about 50 minutes. Even if we encounter a biochemical laboratory like last time,

We can at least take a look from the sky."

"Asak, is your gunshot wound okay?" Shi Quan looked at Asak who joined first.

"There has been no problem for a long time." Asak patted his chest, "Yesterday I brought back two deer from the birch forest, and now there is no problem at all."

Forget about those silly roe deers of yours...

Shi Quan chewed his teeth when he heard this. He still hasn't figured out how Mr. Asak and his wife brought back four silly roe deer with cubs from the birch forest with their bare hands. And those fools followed them.

As if he had entered a pyramid scheme den, even if there was loud gunfire at the shooting range next to him, he would not run away, and he would just let Asak's wife carry a small bucket to milk the cows.

After confirming that their people were fine, everyone turned their attention to Galkin.

This unreliable old man has caused a lot of trouble in the past two days, and even almost lit up the birch forest in the back mountain by throwing cigarette butts everywhere.

"Asak, watch this old man and don't let him cause trouble for me again, otherwise I will deduct your salary." Shi Quan said through gritted teeth.

"Yuri, it was just an accident."

Galkin said dryly, the old man was forced to be very clean today by He Tianlei and Asak. He was dressed in a decent brown suit and vest, and he finally looked like a university professor.

Before the meeting started, he not only steamed in the sauna for more than 20 minutes to clean himself inside and out, He Tianlei even specially hired a barber from the town to give the old man a haircut that was comparable to

A beard as big as a toilet brush.

After all, the old man will be living in He Tianlei's car with Asak in the next few days. If basic hygiene is not done well, He Tianlei will have many ways to deal with him.

As for He Tianlei, he was responsible for driving Big Ivan's car this time. Although it didn't matter when he went there, when he came back, the container was filled with priceless gadgets. Shi Quan was worried about letting Asak, who had just joined, control everything.

reward.

After making all the preparations possible, five flashy Tatras were wrapped in grass green mixed with desert-colored camouflage nets and were ready to go.

Everyone had dinner and rested until ten o'clock in the evening. Then they started their cars and quietly left the radar station next to Lake Baikal.

This may be the simplest exploration trip. The team only needs to drive southwest along the north shore of Lake Baikal to the end, and then continue west along Highway 333 for 400 kilometers to reach Kusugur in Mongolia.

lake.

This road is also the main route for local Mongolians in Lake Khuvsgul to go to Russia for work, shopping and even smuggling. Except for the border checkpoint set up on the Russian side, the Mongolian side of the entire road is just a decoration.

In other words, as long as the border guards on the Russian side are dealt with and there are enough rubles on the other side, not to mention entry and exit, buying a new identity is just a matter of words.

"Brother Quan, do every herdsman in Mongolia have thousands of sheep?" Liu Xiaoye asked curiously on the radio, "When I traveled to Ulabaatar before, I felt that the people there lived a pretty good life.

."

"Life is pretty good?" Shi Quan explained with a smile, "The rich people you see all made their fortunes from minerals. It would be good if they could not starve to death by raising sheep."

"Xiaoye, how much is a pound of mutton at your place?" He Tianlei asked with a smile.

"Thirty or forty yuan."

"Sheep meat in Mongolia is equivalent to six or seven yuan per kilogram in RMB. A 100 kilogram sheep can produce more than 30 kilograms of pure mutton at most. In other words, one sheep over there can only

It sells for more than 200 yuan, and even with the sheepskin, wool and offal, a sheep can't sell for 300 yuan."

"So cheap?" Now, even Shi Quan asked in surprise. He didn't have time to investigate the price of mutton when he came here last time.

“It’s not that cheap”

He Tianlei said with a smile, "Our Nei Meng is a little better. At least the policies are properly controlled. The sheep basically have no natural predators. The pastures are pretty well maintained, and the epidemic and infectious diseases are controlled relatively well. But even so, a sheep has a small lamb.

It takes at least half a year to raise a child until it is ready to be sold.

If you want to raise a sheep in this hellish place like Outer Mongolia, you have to be careful not to be bitten to death by wolves, not to be frozen to death by the white-haired wind, not to starve to death in winter, and to save them in time when there is an epidemic. At the same time, those lambs

They also need to keep up with the large army that is changing pastures for grazing so that they can grow up safely.

After all this trouble, I estimate that the local herdsmen can make a profit of 100 yuan from one sheep, which is considered a great deal."

"So, even if your family has 1,000 sheep, you can earn up to 100,000 yuan a year?" Liu Xiaoye asked in shock.

"It's far from that much. It would be nice to have half."

He Tianlei, who grew up on the grassland, knows the herdsmen on the grassland better than anyone else. "Unless they can't survive, no herdsman would dare to sell all the sheep. At most, they will only sell half. And the life of a herdsman also comes with costs."

"

"What the hell is this?" Liu Xiaoye couldn't help but exclaimed.

"There is a way to live in poverty"

He Tianlei was not surprised, "There is a saying in our hometown that those with a wealth of wealth are not counted. Mongolia has been deceived by the old man. After he loses all those big mines, I guess

, just relying on grazing will leave you panting and waiting to die."
