Chapter 52: Something Happened Again
PS: The Meteorite chapter has been moved here. Just look at it directly from chapter 46, sorry~
Li Ye underestimated the impact of this meteorite. In addition, he didn't intend to hide it, but wished that more people would know. Therefore, when Mark asked someone to come over and study it together, Li Ye did not stop him.
Stanford University, Department of Archaeology.
"As we mentioned in our last lesson, the Sun is only one of the 400 billion stars in the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is just one of about 200 billion galaxies in the vast universe. So ...... here," Professor Atherton explained in a suffrage from the podium. Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrates. Atherton glanced at his phone's screen: it was Mark.
Frowning, Atherton made an apologetic gesture to the students below and answered the phone.
When the students in the classroom saw this, they relaxed and began to whisper to the people around them. Suddenly, the students in the entire classroom heard Atherton's shrill voice:
"What? Fossil ??? found on meteorite"
Suddenly, the classroom, which was a little noisy just now, suddenly fell silent. All the students looked at the professor on the stage in amazement.
At this time, Professor Atherton, who had always been known for his gentle elegance, was still his usual appearance, his face was flushed, and his eyes were about to pop out. The live interpretation of the realistic version was dumbfounded.
Then I saw him nodding his head at the mobile phone, and after hanging up the phone, Atherton stopped lecturing, directly announced self-study, took his own lesson plan, and walked out quickly, leaving behind the shocked students.
"God, did I just hear something terrible?" muttered a white student.
At Harvard, Professor Peter hung up the phone, dumbfounded, and then picked up his suit and was about to walk out.
As he reached the door, Peter's classroom suddenly listened, and he suddenly remembered that Mark had mentioned that the fossilized meteorite was now in Vieques and was owned by a Chinese.
Thinking of this, Peter's eyes twitched, and then he returned to the office, picked up the phone, and broadcast a number.
"Hey, I'm Peter Watson from Harvard, pick me up for ......"
England. Oxford.
Professor Rosen was telling students some stories about the Egyptian pyramids in the classroom, and the classroom was bursting with exclamations and laughter. Just then, Rosen felt the phone in his pocket vibrate.
When I took it out and looked at it, I found that it was a friend of the United States, who taught at Stanford University. And it was connected.
Professor Rosen, who was originally relaxed, slowly became sluggish after answering the phone, and his face looked incredulous, which surprised the students sitting in front of him.
"Hey, man, man...... Do you hear me? hurry up and get the fastest ticket, we'll see you in Vieques, remember ......."
"Okay, I'll go now. Rosen, who reacted, said excitedly, and then the student ran out of the classroom quickly with a surprised expression.
University of Cambridge ......
University of London ......
University of Munich......
Yenching University ......
Even Mark didn't expect that he just invited a few professors who usually cooperate, and it turned out that in less than a day, the whole world knew about it.
At first, everyone subconsciously thought that today was April Fool's Day, but when the students of these professors came out to prove it, they all heard their professors mention the words meteorites and fossils. And now they are all gone, and they can't be contacted.
If it's a family or two, it's fine. But this is happening in universities all over the West, and it makes people think too much.
In particular, the sudden appearance of a news item in the New York Times shocked everyone. Although it is just an irrelevant piece of news, the underlying meaning is to swear that Vieques is not really a meteorite with fossils, and now the relevant professors in the United States are going to Vieques.
A photo is also attached. This is a photo of the ticket information, the photo is full of dozens of ticket information, the destination is San Juan, and the owner of the ticket information is a professor from a major university in the United States.
As soon as the New York Times news came out, reporters from other countries discovered that there was still this method. Hurry up and investigate if there are any professors in your country who have gone to San Juan.
And they are all professors related to astronomy and archaeology, and their destinations are all San Juan, and their departure times are all today.
This time, journalists around the world are excited.
Why?
Don't look at the news that the New York Times was the first to publish, but the New York Times only published an ambiguous news item, plus an unrelated photo, to prove that a professor had gone to Vieques.
But the photo of the meteorite was not sent!
What does this mean? It means that the New York Times does not have a photo, and as long as you can take a frontal photo of a meteorite, then you will not be famous?
I wonder if this year's Pulitzer Prize is my own!
At the thought of this, these reporters went crazy, hurriedly booked the fastest flight to Vieques, and some even considered whether to rent a room on the island for a long time when they left.
Some reporters would like to drive a maglev car directly, but countries around the world have not yet signed an agreement on this. Maglev cars are not allowed to go abroad at will, they are only allowed to drive in China, and if you want to go to Vieques, you can only take a plane.
New York, New York Times Headquarters.
The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York, USA, distributed all over the world, with considerable influence, and is a representative of high-end newspapers and serious publications in the United States, and has long had good credibility and authority.
At this time, the "New York Times" regretted it, why did they have nothing to do to break the news in advance, although the ratings at that time skyrocketed, but they were not satisfied with the momentary glory, and it would be good to wait for the photos to burst out!
Fortunately, the New York Times had the advantage that their reporters had already left for Vieques ahead of schedule, and it was estimated that they would already be on the island, which gave them some psychological comfort.
The correspondent dispatched was Selena, who has a wealth of experience and has worked as a war correspondent in the Middle East.
This reassured The New York Times, but it contacted its reporter again to be on the safe side.
"Selena, things have changed, now that reporters are going to Vieques, the first thing you do when you get to the island is to take a picture, remember, you have to take a picture with fossils, that's the most important thing. The editor-in-chief instructed. After hearing the other party's assurance, I put my mind at ease.
At this time, Li Ye had already received the first batch of professors, but did not bring them to the meteorite.
He found that there seemed to be a lot of people coming!
Especially when Zhao Donghai informed himself that he must wait for the domestic professor to come, Li Ye sat on wax. Get in touch with Carter and explain the situation.
Fortunately, there are already a few ordinary hotels built on the island, and there should be no problem with these people.
