Although he had known that there would be a call from there, Steve still let out a long sigh when he received the call from Director He.
Alas, the happy time is so short, and there are not many days left to be alone with the giant beast Serpan.
Steve was in a low mood and his voice was weak when he answered the phone:
"Is this Director He... uh... working? Yes, I have something to report."
Steve said reluctantly, not caring at all about Director He's hidden emotions bursting out even though he was calm.
After working together for so many years, Steve knew what Lao He said and for what purpose. He could understand it, but not much.
This is not the first time I have been disciplined.
Touching a piece of animal bone that he had just cleaned up with cherishment, Steve sighed again and again.
He has come to this rainforest for many inspections before, and there are other inspection teams. It can be said that there are no less than a hundred scientific researchers who come here every year.
But it happened that only Feng Yi, who came here to investigate for the first time, discovered the remains of the giant beast Serpan.
What kind of luck is this!
I'm jealous!
Steve sighed: "It's true, if you plant flowers with intention, they won't bloom, but if you don't, plant willows...the willows will become a protective forest!"
Director He: "...It seems to be a big deal."
Director He was not willing to waste time and continue to listen to the other party’s complaints. Some experts with senior qualifications were thick-skinned and stubborn when faced with things they were interested in——
Stable as an old dog in the blank spaces of the rules;
Repeatedly jump between the leadership bottom line and high pressure;
Once you face something you really care about, enter it instantly
The irrational pattern of "I don't listen, I don't understand, I'm not here".
Difficult to persuade, difficult to manage, and immovable.
Director He seriously suspected that Steve, the senior, was the one who misled Feng Yi when he was acting erratically!
"Where is Feng Yi?" Director He asked.
"I'm at work, I'm not here anymore," Steve said.
After they took photos and made records, Feng Yi released the "control group".
"What on earth are you two doing over there? Please be lenient if you confess!" Director He asked seriously.
"I'm honest, of course." Steve's voice was light.
"Two minutes, talk!" Director He raised his wrist to look at his watch.
Steve carefully laid out the animal bones and said calmly, "It's just that this matter... um... is a bit complicated."
"One minute and thirty seconds." Director He didn't listen to his nonsense.
Seeing that Lao He's mood became obvious, Steve still did not change and continued to speak slowly: "Oh, no matter how much I talk about this matter, you will still hear it confused. To be honest, I was also shocked this time and I haven't recovered yet.
…”
"Sixty seconds."
"Just..." Blah blah blah.
"Fifteen seconds!"
Director He lost his patience and his temper was about to explode.
Steve: "Ah, Lao He, the document has been sent to you. Look at the picture to see the truth. It's clear."
Director He hung up the phone.
Steve calmly put the satellite phone next to him and continued to do his work.
Five minutes later another call came.
Director He asked sharply: "Are these information true?!"
There was some irrepressible trembling in the stern and excited voice.
Steve: "Uh-huh."
Director He took a deep breath: "You two just stay there!"
Just now, Steve has sent the data, pictures and videos of the work records of the past few days to Director He.
In just five minutes, Director He was able to confirm the authenticity of the data based on his ability. Those data cannot be easily compiled, and the pictures and videos sent have been identified by technical staff, so the possibility of fraud is unlikely.
.
However, there have been cases in the past where people have faked funding and successfully deceived institutions and the media, not just once or twice.
In just five minutes, it couldn't be completely verified, but Director He knew in his heart that this time it was indeed very likely to be true!
It was really shocking and beyond conventional understanding.
Without this information, few experts would believe it!
Director He looked at the information on the screen again.
The fact that the bones are so well preserved indicates that the time interval was not too long, but according to all previous real inspection records, there was no anaconda of such a large size within hundreds of years.
No wonder Steve dropped everything he was doing and hurried over. It would have been the same with any other expert!
Feng Yi and Steve, although these two people do not accept conventional management, there is no doubt about their professionalism.
Generally speaking, you can't deceive them with deception, and they won't do it.
He just made a big deal without saying a word.
Director He tapped his forehead with his fingers. His heart rate was still high and it was difficult to calm down.
However, to be able to manage so many people in this position, the psychological quality is still strong enough. I was still excited, but I quickly considered the changes brought about by this incident from many aspects.
We can't release the news to the outside world now, we still have to go to the site to confirm it in person, and all parties have to get up and running.
In the tropical rain forest on the other side of the sea.
After Feng Yi released the control group, he returned to the tent and was told about Director He's call.
It was expected, not surprising, and everything continued as planned.
The next day, Director He arrived with a larger and more professional team without disturbing the local fraternal units.
Although they belong to the same organization, the joint protection bureaus in different regions still have internal competition. Director He must represent his own side first and hold the priority in his hands.
The newly arrived experts couldn't wait to get into the tent, saw the skeleton there, and their eyes were glued to it.
"This, this, this... are all true!"
"Judging from the bones, it is indeed an anaconda!"
“It’s incredible!”
The small tent was filled with people in an instant. Experts held instruments to confirm the authenticity, collected data, and argued with each other over some speculations.
Steve continued to linger, sticking to the best position and unwilling to leave.
Feng Yi walked out of the tent and gave up the space to this extremely enthusiastic group of people.
Director He quickly made arrangements and made a few more calls. He came over to see Feng Yi and asked some questions in detail.
After calling Steve yesterday, Director He also contacted Feng Yi to understand the process of the matter. However, the trip was in a hurry and he needed to ask some details in person.
Director He already knew that Feng Yi found the remains of the giant beast Serpan based on his sense of smell.
"Amazing talent!"
Director He patted Feng Yi on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work this time, and I will need your help in the next work."
"It's your job." Feng Yi said with a smile.
"We have also carefully considered your proposal yesterday. We will discuss it with local brother units and the restoration of the remains will be carried out quickly."
When it comes to dealing with the giant beast Serpan, as the discoverer and the person with the greatest credit, Feng Yi has enough say.
In accordance with the regulations of the Joint Protection Bureau, precious objects such as specimens and fossils discovered locally should be kept in the custody of local institutions as much as possible. If the local preservation conditions cannot be met, a nearby location or another suitable location can be selected.
On the edge of this rainforest is the Tropical Biological Research Center built by the United Nations Security Council, and the remains of the giant Serpan must have been preserved there after they were discovered.
This is also what Feng Yi agreed with.
Since the tribe raised Serpan in the rain forest and built the cemetery here, the remains should not be too far away.
The Tropical Research Center of the United Nations Security Council is just right. It's close, safe enough, and well maintained.
Director He has no objection to this. If Feng Yi wants to fight for it, they can push it and try to move the remains to another place. But since Feng Yi agrees to this, they also follow the rules and can use this matter to fight for more.
Many resources.
At the team and unit level, according to priority, we definitely have advantages. Director He is now striving for greater advantages. As long as Feng Yi does not change jobs, this advantage can be maintained.
"I will allocate a few more people to you, and you will continue to be responsible for the search for the remains of the giant beast Serpan. The restoration work will be done by Steve and the professional team, and I will handle other chores." Director He paused and continued,
"It cannot be made public to the media now and needs to be postponed for a few more days."
This is to remind Feng Yi not to reveal any news in Moments or social platforms until the work deployment is completed.
Feng Yi nodded: "Understood."
He has no urgency to show off. As long as he has the right to speak and has enough say on some important issues, he will achieve his goal.
Next, everyone performed their duties. After arranging the preliminary work, Director He contacted the local brother units.
Within a few days, this rainforest area became even more lively.
The chief and the villagers were more happy than troubled. Although they thought it was too noisy, more staff came here and they made more money.
It's just that the food Feng Yi purchased previously has cleared out a batch of their inventory. Now all the villagers' inventory has been drained, and they are working hard to make food every day to provide it to the staff here.
Although a batch of supplies is transported from outside the rainforest to the research team's work area every two days, the villagers can provide fresh food. Under certain conditions, the staff will of course prefer fresh food.
The remains of the giant beast Serpan were also transported in batches to the Tropical Research Center, where there are better conditions for restoration work and are more conducive to preservation.
As the days passed, as the manpower increased and the work continued, the originally sparse and incomplete skeleton became a little fuller.
During the work, in order to capture more information, a control group was also needed, but there was no need to go to the rainforest to capture them.
There are anacondas raised in the Tropical Research Center. The largest individual among them is half a meter larger than the one caught by Feng Yi. It is also thicker and has more visual impact!
The discovery of the giant beast Serpan alarmed the UN Security Bureau and upper-level personnel around the world.
The original tomb site of the giant beast Serpan in the rain forest, as well as the area where the remains may be buried, were quickly protected.
Regardless of whether the remains can still be unearthed here, it has been impossible for outsiders to get close in recent years. A more professional team will soon be formed to conduct detailed research on this area and further analyze the remains.
The UN Security Bureau in charge of the area specially sent high-level personnel to talk with the chief.
The chief donated the vertebra in his hand voluntarily. At the same time, the chief also said: Someone from the tribe next door also dug up the bones of the giant beast Serpan!
Therefore, the chief of the tribe next door was also invited to have a conversation, and the conversation lasted a little longer. In short, whether it was voluntary or some other transaction, the bone from the tribe next door was also handed over.
This incident has made a big splash in some circles, and the big guys in the reptile world have been coming to the research center here from all over the world. However, due to strict regulations, it has not spread outside.
It is still quiet to the outside world. We will only release the news once all preparations are completed.
In order to maintain a rigorous attitude in news work, official media are working overtime to handle heavy workloads.
Big news that will shock the reptile world is still brewing.
As a key figure in this incident, Feng Yi was invited to interview by many parties after completing the first stage of the search mission. Those who could refuse were refused, and those who could not were refused, and they cooperated within the scope of the plan.
The remaining time was spent on work reports. As a key figure in this incident, he had to write many work reports, which had to be done in batches and could not be completed in one sitting.
