Chapter 1166 - Discussion About The Crater (2/2)
In May 1998, in Phillips auction house in New York, a Martian h its weight was just 028 grams!
Now that humans had been able to land on the moon and on Mars, supposedly it should
have been possible to bring back rocks from these two planets, which would make
meteorites cheaper
That was not the case, however First, only a few countries of the United Nations had
sent spaceshi+ps to thedevice that could be sent to the
moon was the USA detector
It was difficult and costly for the probe to transport the ore back to Earth,such
artificially plumbed ore overnht back froo, the Parisian branch of Christie’s held an autumn History of Nature
auction, the centerpiece of which was a 43-centira suhed and said, “The Tussenberg family are all ht not be one I came here for another purpose, to make a profit”
“Then why did you come?” Li Du asked
Steve was silent, obviously not wanting to give a direct answer
Sophie secretly pulled on Li Du’s sleeve and changed the topic “Are you going to look
for meteorites in the crater here? As far as I know, the Wilkes crater is under the ice
sheet and cannot be mined”
Steve nodded and said ruefully, “Yes, the ice sheet is too hard and thick for the existing
technology to penetrate”
“My idea was to look around the crater and see if we could findon
the surface I could also use the shallow surface excavation method Li used when he
mined for opal and look for , “Oh, so you came to mine opals with me to prepare for
this?”
“To study for this job, yes After all, I haven’t been exposed to sihed
Li Du said, “It see for minerals If you think I can help, you
need only ask I can’t bring it up because, you know, I don’t want you to feel like I’ this, Steve laughed helplessly
He rubbed his hands “Don’t getto keep a secret froht not believe me”
“Well, try me You can say it, I will trust you,” said Li Du
Steve said, “Well, let raphy and other studies,
if the impact crater and mass tumor in Wilkes Land were caused by a meteorite, it had
to have a diaive you some
perspective, the meteorite that created Chicxulub was only ten kilometers in diameter”
The Chicxulub crater, an impact crater remnant found in Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula,
was the largest impact crater currently accessible on earth
The Cretaceous tertiary impact was considered a major cause of species mass
extinction After the asteroid completely evaporated, it released 501023 joules of
energy, which was equivalent to 120 trillion tons of TNT It triggered a tsunahout the at the global climate like a nuclear winter
Many people were not aware of this, but the event of this gigantic ie Many researchers have speculated that the meteorite
caused the extinction of the dinosaurs that once ruled the earth!
