Chapter 1679: The Human Genome
The curator of the Chief's Treasure Museum in California, whose name is Glenn Lowry.
He had worked at the Museum of Modern Art for many years and had a wealth of management experience, and a few months after Lori took over the museum after retiring after a stroke at the old director of the Chief's Treasure Museum.
For the time being, he is still in the observation period, and he has not signed a long-term work agreement, after all, it is a strange museum that is now famous in the world, and he can't do it without a good director, so far, he has shown a good ability to work.
Han Xuan put the phone to his ear after connecting it, and said with a smile in his tone: "Hello, Mr. Lowry, about the test of that stone box, have you got the result?" ”
"Yes, little boss.
We've X-rayed it, and we've determined that there's a sword hidden inside, a sword of a strange shape, only the handle is made of metal.
The material of the knife surface itself, according to our guess, may be polished from the bones of some kind of animal, and it has been sealed for so long without causing much damage, which means that the stone box can be opened.
How about it, do you need to open it now? A bunch of appraisers have tried to open it, but it's hard to recover when opened, so I'll have to ask your permission to do so......"
Mr. Glenn Lowry said a lot of things, so that Han Xuan, who was sitting on the sofa, had a dull expression.
He was originally going to find some surprises, but he didn't expect Mr. Lowry to tell him what was inside.
didn't expect it to be a sword, and Han Xuan was inevitably disappointed by this.
He always thought that it might be contained, some kind of "artifact" in ancient myths and legends, and that it was better to have a sword than just an empty box, but two days ago he was worried that it was really just a stone.
Tell Mr. Lowry and say, "Wait, I'm going back to Monterey Bay from Santa Clara right now."
I'm sorry, but please ask the researchers who know how to open it to go home later, and if you're in a hurry, it's okay to leave early, you don't need to leave too many people, and I'll pay them enough for that.
It will take about an hour or so I'll let you know when I arrive. ”
To put it quite politely, this is also a helpless thing, Americans are really very stereotyped, thinking that the time after work is the time after work, many bosses are willing to give overtime pay, but they are not willing to stay and work overtime, they feel that the money is enough, and their own life is equally important.
Because there are laws and organizations such as labor protection laws and trade union federations to support them, no boss can use "unwillingness to work overtime" as an excuse to fire them.
It is okay to forcibly fire you, but you may pay a large amount of liquidated damages, and the breach clause of most employment contracts in the United States not only restricts the worker, but also protects the rights and interests of the worker.
Han Xuan faces a lot of lawsuits every year, a large part of which are filed by company employees, and someone who is in a car accident on the way to work can also go to court, because if he does not go to work in the company, there will be no accidents, and employees often win the lawsuit.
Mr. Lowry is now only a "temporary curator", and he has not been regularized during the assessment period, and it is now more than nine o'clock in the evening, and he is likely to have to wait until eleven o'clock in the museum, but he doesn't want to leave a bad impression in Han Xuan's mind because of these small things, it is not easy to find a high-paying job these years, especially this kind of out-of-the-way profession.
In addition, Mr. Lowry hadn't really met Han Xuan yet, so he felt the need to meet him to deepen his impression, so he replied happily: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome at all!"
I and the researchers in the experiments also wanted to find out what it was, so we waited for you at the museum, and called me before you came, and I was going to pick you up. ”
"Thank you very much, Mr. Lowry, so let's do it first, I'll go find the helicopter."
"OK, you're going to get busy first......"
Hanging up the phone, Han Xuan said to Gabriel, who was standing not far away, "Is the helicopter on the roof still there?"
Help me arrange a helicopter and we'll go to Monterey Bay without anything else and come back tomorrow. ”
"Now? Picking up Miss Dolores? Gabriel asked.
Fat Ding also turned over with difficulty, meowed with his little ears pricked up, his eyes widened, and he was ready to sleep, while Pooh and Barry were already dozing off on the carpet in the corner of the living room.
Recently, in winter, Pooh should have been hibernating, because the weather is not too cold, it has not hibernate for a long time in recent years, but whenever winter comes, the sleeping time increases significantly, and Barry simply likes to sleep, this guy doesn't need to hibernate.
"That's right, now." Han Xuan explained: "At the same time, we have to deal with one thing, do you remember the stone that I took from those two Chinese a few days ago?
The staff of the Chief's Treasure Museum X-ray scanned it and found a sword inside, which appeared to be made of bone. ”
"Sword? Could it be that it was a human weapon in ancient times, and then it became a fossil? ”
…… Such a mentally retarded question, who else but Owen could ask it.
Han Xuan didn't bother to explain to him, so he said casually: "Let it be like this." ”
After drinking Miss Olivia's freshly brewed black tea in several sips, it was slightly hot, and the tea leaves had been filtered, and then asked Olivia:
"Do you come with us to Monterey Bay, or do you stay home and take care of Pooh and Barry? I'll probably be back tomorrow, so it's okay if you don't go. ”
Looking at the two fat bears lying in the corner, Olivia hurriedly said, "I'm going to Monterey Bay too."
The last time I went there was a few years ago, and when I visited there myself, Miss Isabelle and Ramirez were there. ”
It's not that he doesn't want to be alone with Pooh and Barry...... It's just that the two of them are too clingy, especially Little Barry, who doesn't let go after hugging people's legs, and likes to have someone to play with it the most, which is more tiring than taking care of children.
Olivia liked to play with them in the first two days of her arrival, but now she is afraid, being pressed by a panda weighing more than 170 kilograms, which is not a fun thing, but little Barry likes to hold people, compared to Pooh is slightly better.
"Wait a minute, I'll go downstairs to check on the helicopters, and if I can go, I'll call you and let you know, and then you can go downstairs." Gabriel told him, turning and walking towards the stairs.
Han Xuan was originally going to call Anya and tell her about it, but then he felt that it would be better to surprise her.
In the past half a year, the two of them have been in the UK, but in fact, they don't see each other much, and they will only get tired of being together during the holidays, and of course, they will do some embarrassing things that men and women love to do.
It took about ten minutes for him to receive a call from Gabriel, and he immediately asked the other bodyguards to go downstairs with him......
