Chapter 1336 The Invisible Cemetery (1/2)
Li Du walked forward and squatted down to take a look. These meteorites were probably one piece once. He believed it was a deposit of a broken meteorite.
When combined, the meteorite was a little larger than the dog head gold he had found earlier, which was one of the larger meteorite deposits.
Steve watched closely. He looked up and asked, ”Are the meteorites that were stolen from you a part of this?”
The old man with the plaited beard said, ”No, but I can tell you how this came to be. We once wanted to use meteorite magnetism to make something, so we smashed it. Unfortunately, we did not succeed.”
Steve couldn't resist slapping his leg in frustration. If it had not been smashed, if the meteorite had remained in one piece, it would have been as large as a rice cooker!
Li Du did not understand the principle, but to them, the larger the meteorite the more valuable it was.
The rangers were happy to give the rocks to Steve and the others. The old men had no idea what the meteorite was worth or what it could be used for. For them, these were just stones with magnetism.
When Steve tried to give them money, the old men waved their hands. ”No, no, you've been a great help, practically a lifesaver. If you like the stones, take them.”
Little Ford shook his fist furtively, suppressed a grin, and said, ”F**k, man, we've come to the right place this time!”
The old men not only gave them stones but also invited them to dinner.
They served very traditional food. There was minced beef, Moscow red cabbage soup, beef fillets, Russian stewed beef with lotus beans and garlic mixed with hot braised chicken, as well as a roast spring chicken, ham and cheese sandwiches, sweet duck breast, and other dishes.
The veterans might have looked and lived rough, but their cooking was quite sophisticated. The dishes they had prepared, arrayed in, large pots, looked colorful and tasty.
More than 40 people crowded into a room, and the table and chairs were not enough to accommodate everyone, so some people squatted on the floor or stood at the door. It was like a buffet, with everyone self-servicing from the big pots on the table.
Li Du was enjoying the hot and sour red vegetable soup and eating sandwiches. The red vegetable soup with tomato sauce and pepper was flavorful and induced sweating.
”How's our Russian food?” The old man with the plait asked. He was sitting next to Li Du and Steve, chewing stewed beef.
”Very authentic,” Li Du gave a thumbs-up.
The old man ate another piece of beef and said, ”Thank you very much. You were a great help, especially your soldier radio, which was so awesome that it could not be affected by signal jammers.”
Li Du smiled and did not say a word. The new generation of American military radio transmitters was very powerful. No ordinary signal jammer, not even a high-power one, could have affected them.
Seeing that no one answered, the old man with the plait cleared his throat and said, ”Sir, where did you get this kind of radio transmitters? Can't you spare us a couple?”
That was what he was after. Steve said, ”You want it? It's a little difficult for us to spare any, but since you gave me the meteorites, I'll figure out some way. I'll have two sent to you when I get back to the States, but of course, these transmitters are not easy to get.”
The old man with the plait was happy but a little confused. He said, ”I saw that you have many of those. Boys, I know these things. Two of them will do.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
