Chapter Eleven: Extinct Plants

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. Dean Wang's judgment was similar to that of his master's diagnosis, but it was more detailed, but even so, it was difficult to clarify the clues because the clues were still insufficient.

"Why are you asking these?" Dean Wang asked.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Dean Wang and did not respond. It was not that he wanted to hide it, but that he didn't know where to start.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan hesitating, Dean Wang said again, "I did the last time I checked and found that there was a development left after you recovered from the disease in your lungs."

Wu Zhongyuan still didn't answer the words, and he didn't have to answer Dean Wang's words.

Since there was a driver there, it was not convenient for the two to discuss too much. Not long after, the car drove to a courtyard. It was an old building with many signs hanging at the door, including the Institute of Zoology, the Institute of Botany, and some other scientific research departments.

Not only is the building old outside, but the facilities inside are also very old. There is no elevator on the seventh floor, the corridor is very dark, and some rooms have wooden doors.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning at the four glances, President Wang said casually, "Those who do scientific research don't care much about the office environment. They care about scientific research equipment. The equipment here is relatively advanced in China."

In a city, the two most popular people are not the first and second leaders of the county, but the director of the public security bureau and the director of the hospital. Everyone knows why it is popular. As soon as President Wang comes, the head of the research institute immediately receives the samples sent for inspection and arranges a special person to inspect the samples sent for inspection, and then accompany Dean Wang to drink tea in the office and wait.

Wu Zhongyuan sat in the corner, fiddling with the cell phone given to him by Lin Qingming.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Dean Wang began to look at the watch. The head of the institute picked up the phone and called the inspectors, urging them to get a little faster.

I waited for a long time, but the inspection report was not sent, so the person in charge went to urge me personally.

The person in charge's office and the inspection department were on the same floor, but the person in charge went there for more than ten minutes but didn't come back. In the end, Dean Wang couldn't sit still and got up to check the truth. At this moment, the person in charge came back with a few inspection reports in his hand.

Although he had not seen the report, Wu Zhongyuan knew that the test results must be unexpected because the person in charge looked puzzled.

After the person in charge sat down, he handed the report to Dean Wang, "Director Wang, where did the sample sent to the inspection come from?"

"Is there any problem?" Dean Wang asked casually.

"There is a problem," the person in charge nodded seriously, "This sample is woven from hemp fiber yarn. Through analysis and comparison of hemp fibers, we found that the material of the sesame material used in the sample does not belong to the five common cotton and linen plants in modern times."

President Wang was looking at the inspection report. When he heard this, he looked up at the person in charge.

The person in charge also said, "However, we have encountered similar materials before. They were inspection samples sent by the Archaeology Institute. This is a plant called linseed. It appeared in the same period as flax. Perhaps because of the climate, this plant disappeared thousands of years ago. The samples visible now are all residues of burial objects discovered by archaeology."

Dean Wang did not show surprise and nodded calmly.

President Wang's calmness surprised the person in charge, and said, "This kind of fabric should not be preserved until now, because once the burial objects are unearthed, they will soon oxidize and decay, and it is impossible to be so complete."

“Have you done it…”

Before Dean Wang finished speaking, the person in charge interrupted him, "Yes, the reason why it took so long is to do carbon 14."

"What's the result?" asked Dean Wang.

The person in charge had a very strange expression, he wanted to speak but stopped, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "No more than twenty years."

"Confirm?" asked Dean Wang.

"Confirm," the person in charge nodded, "In addition to the main material, the fabric is also mixed with a small amount of woody plant fibers. The preliminary identification should be white sandalwood. The carbon 14 test results of the two materials are more than two hundred years different."

Dean Wang didn't understand very well, "Why is there such a big difference?"

"The growth time of the two plants is different. Dating is not about fabric, but the material itself." The person in charge explained.

"Okay, please trouble you Director Zhou." Dean Wang stood up.

"Director Wang, where did the sample for inspection come from?" The person in charge followed behind and asked.

"I don't know very well, a friend entrusted me." Dean Wang went out and did not go downstairs, but walked towards the laboratory.

Retrieve the patch and the three of them went downstairs.

"Director Wang, can some of the samples sent to the inspection be left?" The person in charge discussed, to be precise, asking for it.

"I'll go back and ask for my friend's advice." Dean Wang did not agree.

Walking downstairs, Dean Wang asked again, "Are you sure this hemp plant has become extinct?"

"Not only millet and hemp have become extinct, but I have never seen the weaving techniques used in the fabric itself before." said the person in charge.

Dean Wang thanked him, and the two got in the car and returned.

On the way back, neither of them spoke. Dean Wang kept his eyes closed, and Wu Zhongyuan kept frowning.

When he returned to the hospital, Director Wang handed the report to Wu Zhongyuan, "I have something to deal with. Xiao Yang accompanied you to school to get your luggage. I'll find you later."

"Okay." Wu Zhongyuan returned the report to Dean Wang.

Dean Wang took the report, smiled at Wu Zhongyuan, and opened the door and got out of the car.

There are not many things for the school-based students, so they took the car in one go.

I don’t know if it was because of the hospital’s many rooms or the reason why Director Wang personally explained it, Chief Gao, who was in charge of logistics, arranged a staff dormitory for him, one bedroom and one living room, air conditioning, refrigerator, separate toilet, and kitchenware for cooking, everything.

After settling down, Wu Zhongyuan did not go to see Dean Wang. If Dean Wang had handled his own affairs, he would take the initiative to find him.

It is also possible that Dean Wang has no urgent matter to deal with, but just like him, he wants to calm down alone and sort out the complicated clues.

After being busy for most of the day, I was a little tired. Just as I was about to lie down to rest, there was a knock on the door outside. When I opened the door, I found that it was a man in his thirties, carrying a bag of rice and a bucket of oil in my hand.

Before he could speak, the person came to report to his house, 'Hello, little brother, my name is Huang Hailin, I am from the hospital's logistics department. I can help with anything I can do, just speak up.'

After saying that, put down your things, turned around and left.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't understand what was going on for a moment. When he came to his senses and chased him with something, he had long since disappeared.

As soon as I closed the door, I knocked on it again. As soon as I opened the door, I saw a young man. "My name is Jiang Yanwen, I am responsible for the cafeteria. This is your meal card. I have already charged the money. You can keep these two cigarettes for smoking."

"What are you doing? Besides, I can't smoke." Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly refused.

After pushing, the person who came left the thing and turned around and ran away.

With the lessons of the past, Wu Zhongyuan didn't dare to drive it casually after knocking on the door. This was all for Dean Wang. He was arranged by Dean Wang and received by Dean Wang's driver himself. Those who didn't know what the relationship between the two was.

In the evening, two women carrying things came again. They knocked on the door. Wu Zhongyuan didn't dare to drive. When he left, he was muttering. Wu Zhongyuan had a sharp ear and heard the two whispering, "Director Wang doesn't seem to be such a person." "You can't be wrong, it must be. I heard that the samples sent to the province for paternity tests were not dared to stay there, and the inspection report was not shown to others. If it weren't for his, could he be so cautious?"

After hearing the two of them gossiping, Wu Zhongyuan was so angry that he resisted the pursuit and scolded him. No wonder so many people came to get close to him. It turned out that he was regarded as Dean Wang's illegitimate son.

After thinking about it, I felt that I could not stay here. In order to keep him secret, many details were not known to outsiders, and it was reasonable for them to make random guesses.

But after thinking about it, it would not be possible to leave. It was as guilty as if it was upright and not afraid of the shadows, so I still had to stay here.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the security captain came and gave Wu Zhongyuan a uniform. Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was unwilling to wear this outfit, he did not force him to give him a "dispatch" armband and took him to familiarize himself with the work environment.

This hospital is a Grade A-level hospital with advanced medical equipment and many people come to see the doctor. Most of them drive. Wu Zhongyuan’s job is to direct these vehicles to park them in the corresponding parking spaces, and to ensure that the parking spaces of the emergency ambulance are idle and the driving route is smooth. The working hours are from 8 am to 8 pm every day. As for the salary, the security captain did not say it because he didn’t know that this would be decided by the logistics chief Gao.

While the security captain was familiar with the situation with Wu Zhongyuan, Dean Wang walked over from a distance. The security captain went over to say hello to Dean Wang and left with tactful thoughts.

"How is it?" Dean Wang walked over.

"It's pretty good, thank you Dean Wang." Wu Zhongyuan thanked him sincerely.

"Go out for a walk." President Wang walked towards the hospital door.

Wu Zhongyuan followed.

"Zhongyuan, what do you think of this matter?" asked Dean Wang.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Dean Wang was referring to his own life experience, but he didn't know how to answer.

President Wang said again, "I didn't hide the results of various tests and tests. I believe you should have made a judgment in your heart."

Wu Zhongyuan still didn't speak.

Dean Wang walked to the steps in front of the library and sat down, "Tell me what you think."

"What do you think?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Dean Wang smiled, "Did you have anything else to tell me?"

"What are you referring to?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

President Wang said, "I called a few old classmates who were engaged in scientific research in the afternoon and asked them about some physics issues. Your situation has already been explained reasonably, but this reasonable explanation is still unreasonable at present."

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan still had no intention of speaking, Dean Wang continued, "You may have taken the wrong path, and someone has taken the wrong path with you."

When Dean Wang said the three words of physics, Wu Zhongyuan had already guessed what his judgment was, "The person who came with me was dead."

Dean Wang didn't seem surprised to answer this. He nodded and said, "The existence of the wormhole has been fully demonstrated by famous physicists such as Einstein and Hawking, but there are no real examples so far, at least there are no public records."

"Do you suspect I don't belong here?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Dean Wang nodded, "Mr. Hu Shi once said that people who are engaged in research should make bold assumptions and carefully verify. At present, except for the time distortion caused by wormholes, there is no other reason to explain your blood abnormalities and ancient tattoos on your body," Dean Wang said, taking out the patch from his pocket, "And this, this is the ironclad evidence that it is recognized through scientific methods."

"If I don't belong here, where do I belong?" Wu Zhongyuan was confused. He knew the black hole theory proposed by Einstein and Hawking, but he never thought that such a thing would happen to him.

President Wang looked at the patch in his hand, "It is difficult to determine the specific age of this kind of extinction of millet and hemp, but there are no burial clothes made of this material in the excavation of tombs during the Xia and Shang dynasties."

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"You originally lived in an ancient period before the Xia Dynasty..."
