Chapter 142: Chalk Cicada Amber, Great Research Value
In the afternoon, Ning Fei was teasing the little dog and Xiao Fei in Qingfeng Guan, and the village chief knocked on the door outside and shouted:
"Ning Fei, someone from the Geological Bureau is here. ”
After Ning Fei opened the door, he saw that there were a total of four people outside, the village chief Qin Zheng was next to him, and on the other side was an assistant-like figure.
The two people in the middle, one Ning Fei knew, was Zhu Mu, a civil servant of the Geological Bureau, and the last time he discovered the stalactite cave, it was Zhu Mu who came over to give him a cash reward of 50,000 yuan and a certificate.
The other person was an old man, looking a little rickety, but Ning Fei saw something different from his eyes.
Phases are born from the heart, and when they reach a certain age, they can see something through their faces.
Physiognomy here refers to physiognomy in its natural state, not when it is performed or emotional.
For example, some people have very smart eyes and are more intelligent at first glance; some people have a fierce aura between their eyebrows, which is not easy to provoke when they look at it; and some women are full of wealth and nobility when they look at them, and they are obviously rich families with rich background.
This old man, there is not so worldly and utilitarian in his eyes, it is the kind of eyes that are calm and quiet, and he will not deliberately change when he meets people.
Zhu Mu, who was on the side, immediately smiled when he saw Ning Fei, his eyes were polite, and said: "Hello Mr. Ning, let me introduce to you, this is a professor and geological scientist from the Kyoto Municipal Bureau of Geology, senior Xu Qiu." ”
"Hello. Ning Fei greeted Xu Qiu kindly.
Xu Qiu looked at Ning Fei, and at first glance, he felt that this young man was very good, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
"Hello. Xu Qiu also responded politely.
"I'm still streaming, don't you mind. Ning Fei asked again.
"No problem, it's not a secret. Zhu Mu replied immediately.
"Okay, please. ”
A few people walked into the Qingfeng Temple, Jiang Xue saw that someone was coming, and she also prepared a pot of tea, came to the living room, and poured tea for several people.
Netizens are watching this scene all the time, and this kind of local civil servants come to the door is relatively rare.
After sitting down, Zhu Mu spoke:
"Lord Ningguan, this is the case, according to the new "Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics in China" and the "Law on the Protection of Ancient Fossils in China", there will be a relevant rating for the ancient cultural relics and ancient fossils found by the people, so as to give different rewards. ”
"Of course, there will be a discrepancy between our rewards and the prices of the market auctions. ”
"Professor Xu came specifically to grade the chalk amber. ”
"On behalf of the Geological Bureau, I would like to thank you very much for contacting us. ”
Zhu Mu's attitude was very sincere, Ning Fei just nodded and said, "Well, okay." ”
After speaking, Ning Fei took out the chalky cicada amber and handed it out.
I saw that Ning Fei was holding a golden transparent amber in his hand, and a lifelike white cicada was wrapped in the middle, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Xu Qiu's attention was immediately attracted by the amber in Ning Fei's hand.
When he took the amber from Ning Fei's hand, his hands trembled a little.
"Look at that scientist's eyes, just now they were dim, I thought they were fake, but now they are so serious. ”
"That person is Xu Qiu? Oh my God! Xu Qiu is an authoritative professor of geology, and many of his discoveries have been written into geology textbooks!"
"This old man is so powerful?"
"Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, what do you say!"
"I remembered that he had a very authoritative paper on the discovery of meteorite remnants from fossils from the Jurassic era, arguing that meteorites were the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs!"
"That was his early thesis, and Xu Qiu's later papers are very powerful!"
"You mean, this old man is a very authoritative scientist?"
"That's right!"
"The breeze is amazing, you can see scientists. ”
A lot of barrage is discussing this matter.
Everyone didn't expect that it was originally the Geological Bureau to deal with Ning Fei's matter of picking up chalk cicada amber, and a scientist actually came over for a special trip.
Actually, there was no need for Xu Qiu to come over in person, just wait in the Qincheng Geological Bureau. But knowing that such an important piece of amber was outside, he really couldn't wait, so he took Zhu Mu to take the initiative to come over as soon as possible.
Xu Qiu carefully took the amber in his hand, then took out a small cylindrical magnifying glass and observed it carefully.
Everyone else looked at him silently.
The small animals in the view were not disturbed by these guests, the little dog and Xiao Fei were playing in the backyard, the little fox was lying on the promenade basking in the sun, and the little falcon flew to an unknown place.
"It's a chalk cicada from the early Cretaceous period, and it's so intact!"
After Xu Qiu confirmed, he couldn't help but exclaim.
Now that he doesn't have professional equipment at hand, Xu Qiu can only judge the approximate age of this piece of amber by the chalk cicada.
The more he watched, the more excited he became.
At present, the geological research in China has almost no understanding of the Cretaceous era.
It is undeniable that in the field of geological research, China lags far behind some of the world's leading powers.
In particular, the study of prehistoric organisms is even more scarce. Scientists in China can only accumulate some knowledge about prehistoric organisms by studying articles published by foreign scientific research institutions.
And now, the piece of chalk cicada amber that Ning Fei picked up is undoubtedly a great favor to the research in the field of geology in China!
Even if the results of the research are obtained, the field of geology in China may even shake the entire geological community!
This piece of stuff is really priceless for geological science research.
"This piece of amber is too precious, comrade, can I ask, where did you find this piece of amber?" Xu Qiu was extremely excited, and his eyes brightened a little.
"I suspect now that that place is very likely the place where the earliest moths of the Cretaceous period were born and evolved!"
Hearing Xu Qiu's conclusion, Ning Fei couldn't help but look sideways slightly.
This old man is amazing!
Ning Fei has always respected this kind of scientist who dedicates his life to science, so he took out a map to check the latitude and longitude, wrote the latitude and longitude of the mountain on a piece of paper, and handed it to Xu Qiu.
Of course, Ning Fei didn't let the netizens in the live broadcast room see what the latitude and longitude were.
"The research of this piece of amber is of great significance, and I will go back to the General Administration for instructions, and I will try my best to fight for the corresponding rights and interests for you. ”
Xu Qiu took the latitude and longitude handed over by Ning Fei, and he didn't know how to thank the handsome young man in front of him.
A man like him, who is entirely devoted to the field of science, has very few people and things that can touch him.
Now this amber really makes this old man who is nearly seventy years old feel that the blood is boiling in silence.
It's as if he was still the hot-blooded teenager back then, and he could climb a mountain of scientific research again.
"Okay, excuse me. For the rights and interests he deserved, Ning Fei did not refuse, and said with a smile.
He abides by the law, hands over ancient fossils with scientific research value, and rewards him from above, which is also deserved.
Then, Zhu Mu said a lot of polite words of thanks to Ning Fei, but Ning Fei just responded gently.
After a while, the men left.
The village head, Qin Zheng, stayed.
"You kid is powerful now, and the big scientists have come to the door. You don't know how high the status of scientists was in my time, and if there was a scientist in the village, the whole village would have a light on their faces. ”
Qin Zheng said with a smile.
Ning Fei knew what the village chief said, and he remembered very well that when he was in elementary school, the teacher asked everyone what their ideals were and what they wanted to be when they grew up.
The most common answers are scientists, followed by astronauts, teachers, doctors, and the like, all of which are good careers.
Of course, Ning Fei's answer was a Taoist priest, and he was ridiculed by many little children at that time.
Nowadays, times are changing, and so are the ideals of young people.
There was also a short video on the Internet, where the teacher asked the primary school students what they were most likely to do when they grew up, and the most answers were "stars" and "singers", and several primary school students hoped that they could grow up to become idol trainees like Cai.
Everyone has their own choices, and that's fine.
"Luckily, I picked up a fossil, and I didn't expect people to come up in person. Ning Fei replied.
"Village chief, I just picked some chili peppers in the morning, I can't eat them, you can bring some. ”
Ning Fei was going to fetch the chili pepper again, but he remembered that he was still live broadcasting, so he shook his head again, and just said, "I'm in the live broadcast, it's not okay yet, I'll send it to you when I find a chance." ”
It is normal for the villagers to send each other some things picked in the vegetable garden, especially the village chief has a high prestige in the village, and many people love to send him some cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, and green onions, which are not worth much, but they can pull in feelings, and the village chief accepts them happily every time.
But it's easy for the Internet to magnify a thing, and this kind of thing is reasonable and illegal. If Ning Fei really sent it now, in the eyes of others, it would be the village chief who went to the villager's house to loot things.
Many people don't know the truth, so they like to stand on the moral high ground to accuse a person.
Ning Fei is very smart, so he thinks things very carefully.
"It's all a trivial matter, I was looking for you to be a matchmaker from Mashan Village next door, let me ask if you would like to meet other girls, now that you have a partner, I won't bother. ”
Qin Zheng took out a dry tobacco, added some tobacco into it, lit it and took two puffs.
For a person like him, who is accustomed to smoking dry tobacco, ordinary cigarettes are completely unenergizing and tasteless.
Qin Zheng saw Jiang Xue and understood that Ning Fei was a lifelong event.
It just so happened that the widow Liu in the next village liked to talk about matchmaking, and she had been eyeing Ning Fei for a long time, and she annoyed him several times. Qin Zheng's idea was that Ning Fei was the most outstanding descendant of Qinshan Village, and he could take a fancy to the people of your Xiaopo Village.
Now that Ning Fei has a companion, he can excuse himself.
Ning Fei listened to the meaning of the village chief, and also knew that the village chief had misunderstood. But this kind of misunderstanding is good, he really doesn't want the village chief to help him with this kind of thing.
In a place like Qinshan Village, the village chief is like a parent, and which family does not marry a daughter-in-law is also a problem for the village chief. Especially some lazy people, that is the number one problem for the village chief.
The very popular "Lao Xu, do you want a wife" some time ago is also this background.
After hearing the words of the village chief, sure enough, a netizen played a stalk and posted a barrage: "Lao Ning, do you want a wife, as long as you open Chrysostom, I will send it to you later." ”
This barrage also made the atmosphere in the live broadcast room happy.
Jiang Xue was on the side, and when she heard the village chief say that she was Ning Fei's object, she was still a little restrained, but she immediately peeked at it and found that Ning Fei's expression remained unchanged, and she did not refuse, and suddenly felt a joy in her heart.
Of course, she also knew that Ning Fei was trying to avoid trouble, but this feeling was quite good.
When Ning Fei sent the village chief away, he heard about another thing.
"Recently, a program team came to the village, it seems that it is still quite a big program group, renting the house of the old Li family in the winter of the village, which is being renovated, and saying that it will be filmed in a month or two. Qin Zheng, the village head, said with a smile, Qinshan Village is becoming more and more popular, and he is naturally happy.
"Is there a program team coming to us?" Hearing Qin Zheng's words, Ning Fei asked with great interest.
"Yes, I don't know what a big star is, as long as it doesn't affect the life in the village. ”
With that, the village chief left.
Ning Fei also went directly back to the backyard and continued to tease the three cute pets.
What's going on with him is still not as important as the business of these three little guys.
