Li Du went over and squatted down to take a look. The meteorites could probably be put together, which should be the result of a meteorite being smashed.
After combining them, this meteorite was slightly larger than the Gold Dog Head Metal he had obtained. Among the meteorites, this was considered a large one.
Steve observed more carefully. He looked up and asked, "Are the four meteorites that were stolen from you all one with these?"
The old man with the plait said, "No, but three of them were one with them. We wanted to use its magnetism to make something, so we smashed it. Unfortunately, it didn't work."
Steve couldn't help but slap his leg. If the meteorites had not been smashed, if the meteorites were still one, it would have been a big meteorite the size of a rice cooker!
Li Du did not understand the relationship, but when they came, the bigger the meteorite, the more useful it was.
The stones were given to Steve and the others. The old men did not know the value of the meteorite, nor did they know what it could be used for. To them, it was just a broken stone with a bit of magnetism.
Steve wanted to give them money, but the old men waved their hands. "No, no, you've helped us a lot, almost saved our lives. If you like these stones, take them."
Young Ford secretly waved his fist, gritted his teeth, and said to Li Du, "F * * k, brother, we've come to the right place this time!"
The old men not only gave them the stones, but also invited them to dinner.
The food was very traditional: Moscow red vegetable soup with chopped beef and red cabbage, Russian beef stew made of beef tenderloin and garlic, spicy and sour braised chicken with hollandaise beans, lentils and garlic, roasted spring chicken, ham and cheese sandwiches, duck breasts with taro, and other dishes.
The old men looked rough, but they were very good at cooking.
The dishes were all cooked in one big pot, but they still looked, smelled, and tasted good.
There were more than 40 people crowded into a room, and there were not enough tables and chairs. Some people squatted on the floor or stood in the doorway. It was like a buffet, with big pots of food on the table, and they could eat whatever they wanted.
Li Du drank the spicy and sour red vegetable soup and ate the sandwich. The red vegetable soup had tomato sauce and chili, which was very flavorful. After drinking it, he would soon sweat.
The old man with the plait sat next to him, Steve, and the others, chewing the stewed beef and asked, "How's our Russian food?"
"Authentic." Li Du gave him a thumbs up.
The old man with the plait ate another piece of beef and said, "I'm very grateful to you guys this time, especially your individual radio station. That thing is really amazing. It's actually not affected by the signal jammer."
Li Du smiled and did not say anything. The new generation of the US military's individual radio station was very powerful. Even if the other party used a high-power military signal jammer, the individual radio station could bypass the jammer and reconstruct a new communication line, let alone an ordinary signal jammer.
No one answered. The old man with the plait sniffled and said, "Sir, where did you get this kind of radio station? Can you give us two? "
Steve pondered for a moment and said, "Do you want it? It's a little difficult, but since you gave me the meteorite, I'll think of a way. I'll get someone to send you two when I return to the United States. Of course, it'll take some time, and it'll be very difficult to get them. "
The old man with the plait was a little happy but also a little regretful. He said, "I see that you have quite a few stations? Actually, boys, I know this thing. Two of them are enough. "
As if realizing that he was being a little greedy, the old man with the plait added, "We won't take your radio station for nothing. You seem to be treasure hunters or something? We can exchange information with you. "
Steve pointed to Li Du and smiled. "He's a treasure hunter. It just so happens that these individual radio stations are also his."
The old man with the plait looked happy and said, "Hey, young man, come with me. I have something to tell you."
Li Du followed him suspiciously and asked, "What is it?"
After finding another empty room, the old man with the plait said, "Do you know about narwhals?"
Li Du nodded. Narwhals, also known as narwhals, were a kind of whale that lived in the Arctic Ocean. Their body length was generally four to five meters, and the average adult whale weighed 800 to 1,600 kilograms.
This kind of whale had a characteristic. They had no dorsal fins, and the way their necks and vertebrae were connected was more like that of other mammals, which was different from dolphins and whales.
Among them, they had a particularly eye-catching characteristic, which was that they had long teeth protruding from their heads. They were canines that protruded from the upper left jaw and were up to three meters long. They were spiral-shaped, like the long horns of unicorns. That was how they got their name.
Li Du had once obtained a narwhal's long tooth at a warehouse auction and made it into a work of art for Sophie's father. At that time, he had won Sophie's father's love.
Like mammoth ivory, narwhal's long tooth was also a specialty of the Arctic, and was more valuable than mammoth ivory.
Seeing him nod, the old man with the plait laughed. "Very well, our information is related to this thing. You may not know this, but narwhals don't just die somewhere. When they get old, they go to invisible cemeteries and die together."
This was an unsolved mystery. There were many large animals on Earth that had community cemeteries, such as humans, mammoths, and some whales.
But Li Du had never heard of 'invisible cemeteries,' so he asked.
The old man with the plait said, "Unless you stay in the Arctic, you don't know that narwhals are born with very dark skin color, and as they grow older, their skin becomes whiter and whiter.
"When they reach adulthood, there will be many white patches on their abdomens. As they continue to grow older, the white patches increase, and eventually, when they are old, their body color is almost white, and they look like beluga whales.
"Their cemetery is in a sea of ice and snow. The ice is white, and they are white when they die, so unless you know the location of the cemetery, you can't find them. That's where the name 'invisible cemetery' comes from."
Listening to his introduction, Li Du said, "Do you know the location of this cemetery?"
The old man with the plait smiled and nodded. "Yes, we were lucky. When we went to the Arctic to extract whale oil, we met an old narwhal, and then quietly followed it and found this cemetery."
As he spoke, his eyes revealed a nostalgic look, and he continued, "That was twenty years ago, when we were still young. If it were now, we would certainly not be able to keep up with the old Narwhal. It was really cunning! Their graveyard is too well hidden! "
Li Du asked, "Twenty years? Are you sure the cemetery has not been discovered? "
The old man still nodded. "We go out to sea every year to catch whales, and every time we go to the cemetery, it is very spectacular! The cemetery is still there. If you give us two radio stations, we will tell you where the cemetery is! "
