Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 258

[Chapter 247 1 drop of blood, 2 gold]

After returning, Dad Jiao found an excuse to rest, and took out the things that his cat son had allocated in the room to have a look.

When he got this, he wasn’t sure what it was, and he didn’t know if it was a precious item, but past experience told him that there was always a reason for this cat to do it, so, just in case, be careful Hide things carefully, and only take them out now when you have time.

Carefully poke the vine away to reveal the amber inside.

The vine was peeled off and put aside, but not thrown away. This plant was found in the flora, and it was indeed something in the forest. Jiao Dad was sure that his cat and son had indeed been in the forest, but he didn’t know there was What a coincidence.

As for this amber, Dad Jiao doesn’t know much about identification. He has only made artificial amber himself before, and there are also several natural ambers that were given by others. The integrity of the insects in the insect amber is only 80%, and the inside is plant. He has only seen artificial amber, and he has never touched the natural one.

Since he was at the base and didn’t want to be discovered by others, Jiao Dad could only use the simplest identification method to identify whether the amber was artificial or natural. Amber can fluoresce under ultraviolet light. Of course, the technology of counterfeiting is getting higher and higher now. , there are also man-made ones that can fluoresce, so Jiao Dad is only making a preliminary identification.

The identification results found that this amber fluoresces under ultraviolet light, and the small flower inside is very bright, blue and purple.

Jiao Dad even checked the rare flora newly compiled by some botanists in the past two years, and couldn’t find anything similar to this little flower in it.

If this amber is real, Associate Professor Jiao has a hunch that the little flower inside is likely to be a plant from millions of years ago or even hundreds of millions of years ago, a plant that has never been discovered before.

Once the identification is true, this is enough to make those botanists and paleontologists excited. They are not interested in red mice. After all, the research direction is different, and the ancient plants are different. It is still a complete small flower. The stamen can see many problems. The first red mouse may have the second one, and this amber, which contains a complete small flower and records the natural miracles of thousands of years or even hundreds of millions of years ago, is likely to be Unique in the world.

For biologists or geologists, the value of amber lies in its historical evolution. For collectors and investors, amber with rare organisms or plants can be regarded as a rare treasure. .

Dad Jiao can completely take out this amber. The matter of the red-haired rat, when several professors start researching at the same time, can definitely be published directly in the journal “Nature”, and Dad Jiao, as the “discoverer”, will definitely put his name on it. , This will be of great benefit for him to apply for project funds in the future. If this amber is added, it will definitely be the icing on the cake. When a professor of a paleontology institute discovered ancient plants, the research results were published as the first author in the journal “Nature” Publishing, Jiao Dad can do the same. In Chuhua University, where the competition from teachers to students is fierce, a teacher of Jiao Dad’s age can be published in any of the world’s top academic journals, “Nature” and “Science”. There are not many papers and results published, and one can imagine the benefits that Jiao Dad can get.

The red mouse can be regarded as a shining point in nature, and the amber is also a miracle created by nature inadvertently. Nature always creates miracles one after another inadvertently, and those who can discover these miracles always will be known as the one with the big chance.

Great chance…

Papa Jiao looked at the cat who was lying on the bed and rubbed his forehead helplessly.

A cat can cause so much trouble!

Zheng Tan has already been targeted, if the story of Amber is revealed again,

even more troublesome.

The thing about the red-haired rat can be said to be accidental, the cat catches the mouse, just right, but what about the amber?

It was discovered that Jiao Dad could only say that it was his own collection.

But Jiao Dad didn’t plan to expose Amber. He hoped that those people would focus on the red-haired rat now and try to ignore other things.

“Black charcoal, put this amber here first.” Jiao Dad took out a small box, and inside the box was the amber that Zheng Tan found.

Zheng Tan heard it, no, this is for Xiaoyouzi!

He was about to reach out and grab the box.

“I’ll keep it for you for the time being, and I’ll give it back to you when I go back, but you have to promise, hide it well and don’t throw it away.” Jiao Dad said again.

Zheng Tan thought about it, that’s fine, anyway, he can’t take it with him now, so it’s safer to put it in Dad Jiao’s place.

Zheng Tan is not stupid, he can feel from Dad Jiao’s expression and words that the amber is not a simple object, at least for some people.

Rather than hold it by himself or let Xiaoyouzi hold it, it is better to let Jiao Dad help keep it.

In the next few days, Zheng Tan was very quiet. He also knew that there were many people staring at him. Some stupid X who thought they were hiding were actually discovered by Zheng Tan, so Zheng Tan felt that he would still listen to Jiao Dad Jiao. Mom’s words, it’s better to stay in the room peacefully. Anyway, the internship time for those students will come soon, and they will return to Chuhua City in two days.

In the past few days, Zheng Tan couldn’t hold back.

Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi have been out with the students these days to learn how to make specimens, including animals, plants and insects. Zheng Tan is not interested in that, but he is more inclined to hear about the red-haired rat.

I heard that the red-haired rat caused a sensation. It is estimated that the identification results have come out. It is the reddish species that Jiao Dad said.

When the photo was taken yesterday, Zheng Tan was called over to join in the fun. This morning, Jiao Yuan took a local newspaper and showed Zheng Tan a large-scale report on the reddened nest mouse.

Yes, the red-haired rat was identified as a brood mouse by some professionals, but unlike the small-sized brood mouse, this red-haired brood mouse was definitely much larger than the ordinary brood mouse when it became an adult.

Zheng Tan didn’t care whether it was a red-haired nest mouse or a red-haired Mickey Mouse, he just stared at the few color photos in the newspaper and the reports about him in the newspaper.

There are a lot of words about the red-haired nest rat in the newspaper, but Zheng Tan only has so simple and vague two lines. It only says that the red-haired nest rat was accidentally caught by the cat raised by Jiao Mingsheng, an associate professor of the School of Life Sciences of Chuhua University. Yes, then, no then.

Zheng Tan searched the newspaper for a long time, but found no other words about him.

In the only group photo in the newspaper with Zheng Tan’s figure, Zheng Tan is standing next to Jiao’s father, very inconspicuous, and no one will recognize Zheng Tan as a cat in the cat circle based on this photo. The famous “” has a public face, and you can only tell who it is by reporting the name. Otherwise, there are so many black domestic cats in the country, who knows which green onion you are?

At first, Zheng Tan was really annoyed, didn’t he say he had made merit?

What is this?

But after thinking about it carefully, this should be what Jiao Dad meant.

Famous or free Zheng Tan obviously chose the latter after he wanted to understand.

Just like when he realized that a cat had no cat rights and was slaughtered without legal protection, he could only accept his fate.

Compared with Zheng Tan’s low-key, the red-haired rat spent a lot of space to report, and those few photos, which were taken by professionals with great effort, were quite eye-catching.

The nest rat’s tail is very flexible and entwined, especially the photo of it wrapping its tail around the branch above and hanging down, holding a nut, it looks very smart and cute and the red fur can add to it. There are a lot of points, but who would have thought behind the photo that this is actually a very dangerous guy?

Zheng Tan really realized the value of this red-haired rat after returning to Chuhua City.

Chuhua University is not destined to be quiet this summer.

According to the past practice, undergraduates all go home, and some graduate students also apply for leave to go home with their supervisors. Some shops around the school are closed. Coupled with the impact of the high temperature in summer, there should be very few people walking around the campus during the day. But not this year.

People’s attention to the red-haired rat is beyond Zheng Tan’s imagination. To say that there is no hype factor in it, Zheng Tan will not believe it.

However, this did not prevent him from watching the fun.

Zheng Tan squatted on a sycamore tree, watching the cars with the license plates of various provinces heading towards the School of Biological Sciences. There were also some students from the Academy of Biological Sciences who stayed on campus for work-study programs during the summer vacation. At this time, they were also visiting. The guide went to the guide, wearing a hat with the words Chuhua University Academy of Sciences, even though the weather was so hot that he was able to fill the bottle of mineral water with a sweaty back, and he still laughed happily.

why?

Long face!

Look at the people who have gone to the Academy of Biological Sciences in the past few days. They are either the leading professors of a certain 985 university or the researchers of a certain research institute. There are also some experts and professors who come here from abroad. In the past, our school was famous, but it was not There will be such a degree of attention now, and now is the hottest time of the year in Chuhua City!

Moreover, some domestic or foreign research institutions now buy the fur, blood and other things from the red-haired rat from the Chuhua University Academy of Sciences, which makes some students happy.

Especially Yi Xin and the others, Zheng Tan had heard Yi Xin complain at the beginning that they purchased cells or strains from abroad due to experimental needs. Approval forms, licenses and other related materials are prepared and handed over to the customs declaration company to help the agent. However, it took too long in the customs before and after, and the cell state deteriorated. When I came back and raised it, it failed. Have to order again.

Talking about these Yi Xin, they are full of bitter tears, but now I think that when the time comes, people from abroad will also buy things about the red-haired rat from them, and my heart is refreshed.

Zheng Tan heard that the price of a hair of that red-haired rat was worth a house in Chuhua City.

A report in the “Chuhua Evening News” even jokingly called the red-haired rat “a drop of blood is worth a thousand taels of gold”.

Zheng Tan also heard that the red-haired rat was raised like a baby, and even the blood was taken with care and care to ensure the red-haired rat’s health.

Papa Jiao came back from the courtyard at night.

“Today, Dean Xie specially selected two female guinea pigs that were bred in the hospital. He said that they would put them in to cultivate a relationship with the red nest mouse. It is estimated that he would cultivate excellent second-generation mice in the future.” Xie The dean has treasured those little guinea pigs. They were introduced and cultivated at a huge price. On weekdays, some teachers in the courtyard would not let up when they wanted to buy a few dean Xie. This time, they were really generous.

“Then what?” Jiao Ma asked curiously.

Zheng Tan also supported his ears to listen.

“Then,” Papa Jiao slowly drank the mung bean soup and said, “Then the two little white mice died heroically in less than a minute.”

Zheng Tan: “…” This is really a tragic story.
