1606: Chapter 767: Offending Yang Xing for No Apparent Reason 1606: Chapter 767: Offending Yang Xing for No Apparent Reason As Yang Xing narrated with excitent, Yan Fei gradually ca to understand the origin of that magical dinosaur fossil.
About half a year ago, in Dakota State, Arica, a high school junior nad Tyler Lisen used his spare ti to look for fossils on his family’s land.
Although he was still in high school, Tyler was an unmistakable fossil enthusiast.
He had been exposed to these things since he was young and had participated in fossil excavation work several tis.
It was because of this that he was able to discover this amazing fossil.
In paleontological research, the more complete the discovered fossils are, the more beneficial it is for the work.
Most of the ti, the fossils found are fragnts of dinosaur bones, maybe a leg bone or a claw…
The ‘skeleton dinosaurs’ that people see in dinosaur museums are actually assembled by scientists using various technical thods from scattered fossil bones, resulting in the dinosaurs that people see in front of them.
When an almost complete ‘dinosaur mummy’ is discovered, it may overturn many previous scientific studies.
For paleontology, it is undoubtedly a huge discovery.
Yang Xing spoke with great excitent, but for the pseudo-expert Yan Fei, who had ‘eaten dinosaur at’ for many years, the only thing he could do was to act as excited as possible—to not play along would be to waste all the efforts he made earlier, wouldn’t it?
“Do you know what I felt when I saw the illustration you published?” engrossed in the euphoria of a great discovery in the paleontology world, Yang Xing failed to notice that the pseudo-expert opposite him was just playing along, and frankly, not very convincingly.
“Miracle, genius!”
Yan Fei relished in such unexpected praise, but his face showed deep embarrassnt: “It’s just a hobby I pursue in my spare ti, much of it is really just imagination…”
“Excessive modesty is a form of pride, you know!” Yang Xing joked lightly and then said seriously, “There’s another matter I want to discuss with you.
I am planning a trip to Arica soon to participate in research on the Ancient Pound Dragon fossils.
I want to take your papers with , especially this one that has been confird.
There might be a chance to publish it in other journals—are you interested?”
“If it can help scientific research, I’ll follow your lead,” Yan Fei said quite cheerfully.
“It will definitely help.
I think your approach and these images are very valuable.
If there was more ti, I’d invite you to co along too.
As long as the Ancient Thief Bird fossil is proven to be a fake, you see, your images here, two of which have already been verified…”
In Yang Xing’s terms, where countless archaeologists had spent trendous effort reconstructing dinosaur images through various techniques, the fact that they mostly coincided with the images published by a young dostic hobbyist half a year or even earlier was indeed a miracle.
He believed that Yan Fei had developed his own system for conjecturing the appearance of dinosaurs.
Although it seed academically rigorous, it ultimately led to the correct conclusion.
Unquestionably, Yan Fei could join the field of paleontological research, gain more resources, and further refine his theory.
If Yan Fei could perfect his theories, it would be a significant push and progress for paleontological research.
Hence, Yang Xing felt it was his responsibility and duty to guide Yan Fei onto this path.
The first step was to recomnd Yan Fei’s papers to other experts and scholars who research dinosaur fossils.
It’s the sa in any industry; when soone lacks fa, it’s quite difficult for them to gain access to more resources within their field.
For instance, Yan Fei now, if he wanted to visit a research institute to see a particular fossil collection, with his current reputation, they definitely wouldn’t just let him have a look.
However, if it were a well-known expert, they wouldn’t even need to ask themselves—research institutes would invite such experts to collaborate on newly acquired fossils.
When Yan Fei’s reputation reaches that level, they won’t forget him when inviting renowned experts for research collaborations.
It’s sowhat akin to the common saying: it’s difficult to make money when you have none, but once you’re wealthy, it becos much easier to earn more.
Yang Xing is a rather pure expert, in the sense that he doesn’t envy Yan Fei’s ‘dumb luck’; instead, he feels he ought to help as much as he can, even if Yan Fei might not appreciate it.
In his words, in the world of science, we mostly need companions.
The more companions we have, the more we can advance scientific research.
Everyone is on the sa path, so helping each other is the way it should be.
They talked until nearly dinner ti.
Seeing Yan Fei glancing at the clock, Yang Xing said apologetically: “Look at , once I start talking, I just can’t stop.
You’re a big boss, do you have other engagents in the evening?
If you’re busy, you should get going.
I don’t have any more matters on my end; tomorrow morning I’ll co by to pick up the rest of your…”
“No rush, no rush.” Yan Fei, finding Yang to be quite to his liking, offered, “My wife is cooking dinner at ho tonight.
You probably don’t have anything in the evening, right?
Co eat with us at my place, and I can also show you my other papers.
I’ve got plenty of space, and a room for you to stay.
You won’t need to look for a place to stay, and I’ll give you a ride to your bus tomorrow morning.”
