In the afternoon, Yan Fei and Ivan were wandering around the exchange meeting with nothing to do.

Now Yan Fei has no hope of cooperating with Ivan, and Ivan vaguely revealed through the chat that Yan Fei already knows that this guy is doing business in international food trade on the surface, but in fact, this business is just his cover.

Secretly, Ivan has a more important business, which is a 'charcoal in the snow' business - if you are a warlord in a small country, when you are bullied by your opponent, you can come to Ivan, and he will enthusiastically help you provide weapons and ammunition that can be defended or counterattacked, etc.

Of course, Ivan didn't intend to give up the normal trading business, but he didn't focus on it. According to Yan Fei's guess this time, this guy took the opportunity to avoid the pressure of the big goose and came out to avoid the limelight.

Sure enough, the forest was big and there were all kinds of birds, Yan Fei felt that he might not be able to find suitable customers in the afternoon, so he simply gave up doing business and instead wandered around at the exchange meeting, taking this opportunity to see how others did business.

In the middle of the afternoon, he suddenly received a strange phone call, and when he picked up the phone, he asked, "Hello, who is it?"

"May I ask if you are Yan Fei?" the person on the other end of the phone was very polite. "I'm Yang Xing from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology of the Beijing Academy of Sciences, I've read some of your articles on dinosaurs, I'm very interested, I want to ask you a question, I don't know if it's convenient for you?"

"Really?" Yan Fei was surprised at the time, those dinosaur articles he published were actually read by people from serious research institutes?

Let's not say that I am not well-known in paleontological research, but let's talk about the articles I published. Except for the two big river scorpions, the articles published in the world-renowned magazines, the other magazines where the articles were published are called scientific magazines at best, and scientific anecdotes and miscellaneous magazines are not very professional at all.

Now someone suddenly told him that he was from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology of the Beijing Academy of Sciences, and wanted to ask questions, Yan Fei's first reaction was, this can't be someone joking on himself, right? Or he knew that he had a little money and wanted to defraud himself?

On the other end of the phone, he probably didn't expect Yan Fei to subconsciously ask himself if it was true or false, and he pondered for a while before saying, "This, if we can meet, I have a work permit with me." If you can't believe it, you can call the Academy of Sciences and ask, this should be easy to check. In addition, over the years, I have also published some paleontological papers, one of which was lucky to be one of the top ten news of national basic scientific research this year, which should be very easy to find......"

It seems to be true!

Yan Fei felt that even if there were liars or someone made jokes about him, he would not be so angry with himself, he was simply bullish. If it's really a liar, then the liar's ability is too great.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't say anything if you ask, I'm just an amateur, and I'm far worse than a professional like you." If you want to ask any questions, I will know everything. ”

"This question is more critical, I have already arrived in the provincial capital of Yuzhou Province. When are you free, can we meet and talk again?" said Yang Xing on the other end of the phone.

Yan Fei looked up and felt that he had no energy to stay any longer, so he said, "You can do it now, if it's convenient for you, you can see you now." ”

Yang Xing looked very happy: "Okay, I'm here at the Provincial Research Institute now, where is it convenient for you to go?"

Yan Fei heard that it was not bad, not far away. Immediately said: "Then I went to look for you, and I saw it in scientific research." ”

Yang Xing also said a few polite words, but when he heard Yan Fei say that it was not far away, he agreed.

After bidding farewell to Ivan, who was still unsatisfied, Yan Fei casually called Zhao Fangliang of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences when he went out: "Director Zhao, I want to ask, do you know anyone from the Provincial Research Institute?" I want to ask, is there a person named Yang Xing over there now, who is a vertebrate paleontology researcher at the Beijing Academy of Sciences, is there such a person?"

Zhao Fangliang was stunned: "Yang Xing? This is a big bull! What are you asking him for? Did he come to us?"

"Yes!" Yan Fei said. "I'm afraid I'll think I've met a liar, just have such a person. He said he came to me to ask about something, and I'm driving to see him right now. ”

"It's looking for you to understand the problem of paleontology, right?" Zhao Fangliang guessed. "Your article on the big river scorpion, how many researchers can't write it in a lifetime. Congratulations!"

After a few more words, Yan Fei also put his mind at ease, it seems that he is really not a liar.

At the same time that Yan Fei inquired about Yang Xing's news, someone in the scientific research institute was persuading Yang Xing: "We all know that Boss Yan, if you want to say that he is a successful entrepreneur, we all believe it." But you said that the articles he published were credible, Expert Yang, don't be surprised by what I said, I think you are looking for the wrong person. ”

Yang Xing smiled and shook his head: "It's just to listen to the opinions of other parties and adopt the heads of all families! Besides, this Boss Yan, hasn't he also published an article about the big river scorpion?"

It's good that he didn't mention this, but when he mentioned the slightly bald old man who just spoke, he had even more opinions: "It's just shit luck, if you only rely on two bugs to become an expert, then what are we who have been studying in the institute for decades?"

Yang Xing continued to laugh and didn't answer.

No one is a fool, and Yang Xing also understands in his heart that people like Yan Fei have gained great prestige by relying on one or two heavyweight papers, especially those who have not published any important articles before and are not well-known in the scientific community, it is really normal to be despised or jealous.

It's like among the students who took the college entrance examination, a person who never got ahead of the exam, suddenly got a frightening good score, so some students who think they are always hard will inevitably think that that guy is relying on shit luck.

Not only exams, but also in work and life, there is pink eye at all times. If some unknown people suddenly make something enviable, it is inevitable to be envied.

Considering this, Yang Xing said: "Can I borrow an office in your office, when Boss Huiyan comes, I want to talk to him alone." Don't be surprised, the main question I want to ask is related to some studies that have not yet been concluded, and it is not convenient to publish them for the time being. I don't know if it's convenient?"

"It's convenient, we all understand that. The research done by Expert Yang is all important research, so don't worry, I will let people prepare it immediately. I promise I won't delay you. Although the bald old man was a little dissatisfied, he had to meet Yang Xing's request.

He turned his head and said to the young man next to him, "You go and clean up the small conference room and prepare tea!"

Yang Xing smiled and expressed his gratitude: "I'm sorry to trouble you, I'm in a hurry this time, and I'm causing you trouble." It should have been announced in advance, because I was about to go to the mold country to attend a meeting, and the time was a bit tight. Trouble ......"

Yan Fei came quickly, and as soon as he was ready, his people arrived at the scientific research institute.

Yang Xing looked no more than thirty years old, which was not the same as the researchers he remembered who were immersed in research. This Yang expert's complexion is slightly reddened, and he looks like he has been exposed to the wind and sun a lot lately, and he can clearly feel that he is an energetic and energetic person.

When shaking hands, Yan Fei also clearly felt that this person's hands were still a little calloused, which were obviously not sharpened by research tools.

Yan Fei's surprise made Yang Xing notice, and he said with a smile: "I often run outside to dig fossils, and I usually deal with stones, and I often grind out calluses on my hands. ”

"No wonder you don't look like someone who spends all day in the lab. Yan Fei laughed. "Are you trying to ask me questions about the Great River Scorpion?"

"No, no, no, I'm engaged in the study of vertebrates, and I have less research on ancient insects. Yang Xing is very modest. "I want to ask you what you drew the picture of the chirping bird that you published in this magazine?"

"I noticed that, in addition to this, you have written a lot of similar articles and have similar pictures. In these articles, you said that you mainly speculated on this kinematic theory, and did not write in detail, and I have now encountered a topic, and I would like to learn more about this knowledge, if it is convenient for you......"

"Convenient and convenient. Yan Fei was a little embarrassed to see that people were so polite. "Actually, it's nothing, it's just what I wrote, according to the kinematic aspect of things. I think that no matter what kind of creature it is, what kind of growth it looks like, its daily habits, including the laws of evolution, are all traceable......

After a lot of nonsense, Yan Fei stopped: "May I ask, why do you want to ask this twitter bird in particular?"

Yang Xing pondered for two seconds: "In the country of mold, some scientists have discovered a new fossil, and they think it is a new species of ancient pounding bird. However, after the fossil was discovered by more scientists, some people questioned that the fossil should not be from the same creature. By the way, this fossil is said to have been found in Northeast Province, and the fossil was smuggled to the mold country and found by that scientist. ”

As he spoke, Yang Xing picked up his briefcase and took out some photos from it: "The fossil hasn't returned to us yet, I only have photos here, you can refer to it." I think this fossil is a bit like the twitter you wrote. ”

"I'm a tuckling bird!" Yan Fei smiled, and then picked up the photos and looked at them.

While he was watching, Yang Xing sat silently on the side, looking at him expectantly, waiting for his answer.

About two minutes later, Yan Fei felt that the time was almost up, so he said with great certainty: "This is the fossil I call the trumbling bird, you can say that it is an ancient pounding bird, but this tail is fake, the fake can't be real, just look at this and know that it is definitely spliced together." ”

"Why?" Yang Xing asked.

"No, I just don't feel like we're together anyway. Yan Fei began to talk nonsense again. "You see, if you ...... according to the size of their wings"

Yan Fei's result is absolutely correct, as for the theory, it was purely made up by him that he asked the coolies to help him. It's not a fabrication, those coolies are all specialized in research, even if the previous research is not related to paleontology, they have become proper experts in the dinosaur world until now. With the results, if they can't come up with a reliable theoretical basis, then they will have no other use for Yan Fei except feeding the dinosaurs as fertilizer.

Although Yan Fei didn't say it in too much detail, it was enough for Yang Xing. In fact, he already had questions, which proved that he had an opinion on this fossil, so he came to Yan Fei to confirm, but he wanted to hear the opinions of other parties.

When Yang Xing also took the photo and reconsidered it for a while, Yan Fei couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to ask: "I take the liberty to ask, strictly speaking, in fact, I have published a paper that is a little okay." How did you notice that I was posted on ...... What about the articles in these magazines?"

Yan Fei is really curious about this question, is a regular research expert of the Academy of Sciences so idle in normal times? Even reading these messy magazines - if you can become an expert by reading these magazines, then there are experts everywhere.

"Haha!" Yang Xing laughed. "Yan is really quick to talk, in fact, I usually read some similar magazines, after all, there are some whimsical ideas, which can also provide me with some ideas in my research work. But what really made me notice you was because of this. ”

As he spoke, Yang Xing took out another magazine from his briefcase: "Take a look, you also drew this picture, right?"

"That's right!" Yan Fei glanced at it and nodded, needless to say, his memory went without saying, he remembered everything published in any magazine clearly, just look at the title. ”

"That's it. Yang Xing said with a smile. "Recently, there has been a big news in the paleontological research community, and I guess you don't know it. ”

"What's the big news?" Yan Fei continued. There is a lot of news, and the key is related to the picture of his article, and he really doesn't know which news.

"It's about a fossil. Yang Xing unveiled the puzzle. "Last year, somebody found a new fossil, and guess what? It's a miracle, it's a fossil with musculature. It's a miracle, and it's a young man about your age

Somebody found a new fossil, and guess what? It's a miracle, it's a miracle, it's muscular. It's a miracle, and it's a young man about your age who's found a new fossil, and guess what? It's a miracle, it's a musculature. It's a miracle, and it's a young man about your age
