Chapter 108 Honorary Curator, Secrets He Doesn’t Want to Reveal (55)

Many netizens are looking forward to it. Could it be that dinosaurs are really about to appear?

You know, in the movie Jurassic, people extracted dinosaur DNA from ancient mosquitoes and then cloned dinosaurs.

If this is really possible, why would we need to go to the zoo to see pandas in the future?

Wouldn’t it be nice to go directly to the Dinosaur Park to see the dinosaurs?

Maybe if it becomes popular, everyone will have a dinosaur as a pet.

It's a pity that ideals are full, and reality is very skinny.

Su Ran smiled and explained to the netizens seriously:
"If I could, I would definitely like to see living dinosaurs. But Jurassic Park is just a science fiction movie, and there are still many movie problems."

"Especially since the mosquito in the movie was made from a piece of Dominican amber, this type of amber is too young, usually only 25 million years old, to contain dinosaur DNA."

The commentator then said: "But the amber you found is 1.3 million years old. There must have been dinosaurs in the Jurassic period. This mosquito must have sucked the blood of a dinosaur!"

Jiao Shengmin used instruments to observe the mosquito in the amber in more detail, and it is possible that dinosaur blood had been stored in the mosquito's body.

But he said: "DNA is a very fragile molecule that decays after an animal dies, and becomes less and less readable over time."

"That's right," Su Ran also nodded, "After about 150 million years, the DNA molecules are completely unrecognizable. Dinosaurs became extinct about 6500 million years ago, so there is no usable dinosaur DNA in any fossils."

Upon hearing this, netizens felt a little regretful.

But this piece of amber containing the ancient mosquito is still worth studying.

Natural amber is very precious, and insect amber is even more precious.

The barrage floated by.

"Although we can't clone dinosaurs, it's amazing to hear that this mosquito actually had dinosaur blood in its body."

"Yes, this is the closest I've ever felt to a dinosaur!"

Netizens were very excited to feel the dinosaurs at such a close distance.

This can only be seen in Su Shen's live broadcast room. If it were somewhere else, how could they have crossed the long river of 100 million years and gained such a deafening insight?

The audience, whose horizons had been broadened, began to reward Su Ran with gifts.

When the Institute of Paleontology published this discovery on its official website, it quickly received a huge response and discussion around the world.

New York Daily News: "Natural amber dating back 100 million years ago and complete fossils of ancient organisms have been found in China!"

Hanguo Times: "A young man from Hanguo picked up an amber fossil that had been lost to the public from Hanguo!"

UC News: "Shocking! The forest ranger and the female director went into the mountains and made shocking news in front of netizens that shocked the whole country!"

There are even many paleontologists from overseas who fly here specifically in the name of academic exchange just to witness the ancient creatures that lived 100 million years ago.

Netizens in the live broadcast room are also looking forward to when they can see ancient amber fossils in the museum.

I walked out of the Institute of Paleontology with excitement.

day,
It was already dark.

There are a lot of dark clouds tonight.

The moon was covered by dark clouds.

Although it is a bit depressing, it also has a mysterious charm.

It gives people more room for imagination about the night.

Deng Jiaying, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the truck, kept stealing glances at Su Ran.

Looking at the road ahead, Su Ran suddenly said, "Director Deng, just say whatever you want to say. It's not like we just met."

"Well," Deng Jiaying's eyelashes fluttered, "Have you decided which museum you want to donate the amber to?"

"Of course, don't get me wrong. I'm not a lobbyist sent by Director Zhao, and I'm not that familiar with him. I have no objection to which museum you donate to."

Deng Jiaying did not intend to be a lobbyist. She asked this mainly out of curiosity.

Although she had her own preferences, she respected Su Ran's choice.

"Well, I've thought about it." Su Ran said.

"So soon?" Deng Jiaying was a little surprised. "So what are you going to do..."

After sending Deng Jiaying safely back to the city, Su Ran drove home.

After returning home, he took out his cell phone and made a call.

"I plan to donate the amber to your museum."

"Yes, just go through the process when the time comes."

After hanging up the phone, the audience was very curious about who Su Ran donated the amber to.

"Brother Su, please tell me, which museum did you donate the amber to?"

Netizens were not clear about Su Ran’s choice, but after the live broadcast, the curator who did not receive Su Ran’s call could only sigh helplessly.

"I had expected him to make this choice. After all, the other museum has a natural advantage over ours."

Until the next morning when he went to meet the curator, Su Ran did not reveal to netizens who he was donating to.

When he arrived at the door of a house, he said to netizens: "Let me tell you this, the amber fossil was found in the forest in our jurisdiction after all, so it should belong here."

Netizens were forced to leave the live broadcast room amidst a mixture of surprise and unexpectedness.

Su Ran has ended the live broadcast.

He opened the door.
Zhao Youcai, who received a call last night, has been waiting here for a long time.

He smiled and stood up to greet Su Ran. He held his hand and said with tears of gratitude: "Brother, I really didn't expect you to be willing to donate the amber to our museum. I heard that the Capital Museum gave you a lot of benefits."

"Brother, don't you regret it?"

After Su Ran took his seat, Zhao Youcai looked at him seriously and asked.

"No regrets," Su Ran said seriously, "That amber belongs to Lin Hai, and keeping it here has a special meaning. And Director Zhao, you have also seen its value and influence."

"I hope it can become a business card for our province, drive the development here, and make people around the world think of it as being found in China's Beilin Sea when they see the amber."

Zhao Youcai remained silent.

He had thought of many possible answers from Su Ran, but he had never thought of this one.

Zhao Youcai's face gradually showed admiration: "Stationmaster Su, you are more noble than I thought."

"No, actually I'm quite vulgar. If Director Zhao hadn't come at that time, I might have donated it to the Capital Museum just for the money." Su Ran was telling the truth.

Who would have thought that Zhao Youcai would laugh even more happily: "Haha, good, you and I are both honest people, I like your character."

"This thing should be given to you."

Zhao Youcai took out a letter of appointment from his bag and handed it to Su Ran: "Our provincial museum is not a stingy place. If the Capital Museum can give you the same conditions, we can do the same."

"To express our gratitude, our Provincial Museum intends to hire you, Director Su, as the honorary curator, and there will also be a tax-free bonus of 300,000!"
-
Recently, everyone on the Internet is looking forward to where the amber fossil will be exhibited.

The netizens in the two cities are the most concerned.

If it were exhibited in the National Museum of China, local netizens would be able to go and see it right away.

If it were in the provincial museum, netizens here wouldn't have to travel all the way to the capital to visit.

For this purpose, Chen Sisi, who was still interning in the province, made a special video call to Su Ran.

"Su Ran, we have such a good relationship, can you please be honest with me?" Chen Sisi should have just got off work and had not yet taken off her work clothes. She was in the dormitory at the moment, and she could hear her classmates talking next to her.

"What's the truth?" Su Ran asked knowingly. He often chatted with Chen Sisi on WeChat at night. Although they hadn't seen each other for a while, they didn't feel unfamiliar with each other.

Chen Sisi said angrily, "Su Ran, can't you just tell me? Otherwise, I will book a ticket to the capital in advance. If the amber is not on display there, won't my efforts be wasted?"

"Then don't buy a ticket or anything." Su Ran said with a smile, "Their new exhibit is going to be a big hit, so I haven't even told my fans about this before I tell you."

Chen Sisi covered her mouth and smiled: "You look so beautiful, so I have to reward you?" "No need, I have something else to do tomorrow, so I'll go to bed first."

"OK, good night."

hang up the phone.

Chen Sisi's classmates gathered around and asked gossipingly, "Sisi, your boyfriend?"

"I won't tell you." Chen Sisi made a face.

A cute girl wearing glasses analyzed: "Generally speaking, if it's not your boyfriend, you will rush to explain yourself for fear of misunderstanding. On the contrary, or if you already have some signs of admiration, you won't do that."

"So what does Sisi do for a living?"

"Forest keeper."

The girl who had just washed her hair in the bathroom sat down next to Chen Sisi: "Ah, you're just a forest ranger? That's a hard job. Not only do you not make much money, but you rarely see each other every two or three days."

"Sisi, aren't you afraid of being a widow?"

Chen Sisi was confused: "It's not even started yet, and I think forest rangers are great. I can touch cute little animals every day."

Chen Sisi is not a person who likes to show off, so she did not brag about Su Ran's heroic deeds and achievements.

Seeing that this melon was not exciting enough, several girls returned to their beds.

"Oh, it's so hard to find a job now. Just the internship is exhausting, not to mention how we will be exploited in the future."

"So it is very important to find a good partner. I remember a senior in our department found a rich second-generation guy. Now she posts pictures of her bags and the BMW her boyfriend bought her on WeChat Moments every day. She is the envy of others."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Where are we going to play tomorrow?"

The cute girl who was wearing glasses earlier was already lying on the bed. She took off her glasses and said, "Amber fossils are very popular recently, but I don't know where they are exhibited. Let's go to sleep first and talk about it tomorrow."

That night, Zhao Youcai did not rest, but instead prepared the exhibition site with the museum staff.

The next morning.

Internet users who turned on their mobile phones received a push message.

[The Provincial Museum will officially exhibit amber fossils at noon! ]

Zhao Youcai and Su Ran kept the story a secret and immediately attracted a lot of attention from the outside world.

Countless netizens left messages under Su Ran’s works.

"Brother Su, you have made us suffer so much."

"Fuck, so Brother Su gave up the two hundred thousand from the Capital Museum and the naming rights?"

"Brother Su is really generous. He just said no to the two hundred thousand."

"But why didn't Brother Su start the live broadcast today?"

Netizens didn’t have time to wonder why Su Ran hadn’t started broadcasting yet, and they all bought tickets on the official website of the Provincial Museum. They just thought that he was probably still sleeping in.

Perhaps this time the ancient amber is of extraordinary significance.

The Provincial Museum has set up a special exhibition hall called - Encounter with Paleontology.

The ticket price is only ten yuan.

Very conscientious.

There was still half an hour before the official opening, and there were already crowds of people outside the museum.

"Sisi, hurry up, it's time to check the votes."

"coming."

Surrounded by the crowd, Chen Sisi and her classmates entered the museum together.

Before the official visit, Zhao Youcai gave a speech to the citizens who came to check in.

After listening to him briefly speaking for a few minutes, everyone heard Zhao Youcai say: "The exhibition will officially begin in ten minutes, but before that, I would like to introduce to you the curator of our special exhibition hall."

For a while, there was endless discussion from the audience.

"Ah? This guy is not the curator. We just wasted a few minutes of our time listening to him talk."

"It's okay. It's only a few minutes, not too long."

"Sisi, look, there's a handsome guy over there."

Looking in the direction of the girl with glasses' finger, Chen Sisi was surprised to find that Su Ran was actually standing on the stage wearing formal clothes and holding a microphone.

"Now, please welcome our honorary curator, Su Ran, to introduce the ancient amber fossils on display."

The audience was about to complain and listen to the nagging again, but they were stunned when they heard the word Su Ran.

"Wait, Su Ran? Is that Su Shen?"

"Shit, no way, so Su Shen didn't sleep in, but came to the museum to be the curator?"

"Wow, Brother Su has also made some progress."

At this time, a fan girl of Su Ran shouted: "Look, it's really Brother Su!"

When Su Ran came on stage, the audience burst into applause.

You know, most of the people who pay attention to amber fossils are basically Su Ran's fans.

Even if not, I have watched Su Ran’s live broadcast.

Now that godlike man appeared before them, how could they not be excited?

"Brother Su, can you show me a Tiyunzong?" a male fan said excitedly.

Hearing this, Su Ran almost fell down.

Using the Tiyunzong here? I'm afraid he would have to step over the fans' heads.

The crowd immediately burst into laughter.

At this moment, the girl with glasses suddenly recognized Su Ran: "Isn't this guy the boy who video chatted with Sisi yesterday?"

Other students also reacted.

"Really? Sisi, didn't you say your boyfriend is a forest ranger? How come he is the director of a museum?"

The museum director sounds much more powerful than the forest ranger, and makes the girls extremely envious.

Chen Sisi said innocently: "I just found out about this..."

On the stage, Su Ran didn't waste too much time talking. He simply introduced and explained to the audience some of the amber fossils that would be on display.

In order not to waste everyone's time, Su Ran spoke briefly and only took two minutes to finish.

But unexpectedly, many people hoped that Su Ran could speak for a few more minutes.

"Su Ge's popular science is just as humorous and interesting as in the live broadcast room. I feel like I can just move a stool and listen to it for a whole day without getting bored."

Zhao Youcai was also a little jealous.

What’s the matter? I just dislike the way I talk.

"Sorry everyone, I just received a call. It's urgent. Can I start the live broadcast after I finish it?"

After hearing Su Ran say this, everyone agreed to let Su Ran go.

The exhibition officially begins.

Chen Sisi walked against the flow of people towards Su Ran.

Su Ran walked outside the museum and made a phone call: "Hello, Chief Wang, I was busy and missed your call. What's the matter?"

Wang Zhibin on the other end of the phone said anxiously: "The case is a bit complicated now. Why don't you come over now and I will tell you in person."
