After the live broadcast, Wang Xiaoshan and Li Miaomiao returned to the hotel, washed up a little, and set out again. Expert Liu and several doctoral students insisted on treating him to dinner.
Wang Xiaoshan had already rejected Expert Liu last time, so it would be impossible not to go this time, nor would it be okay to always refuse the invitation of the old expert.
We had already talked a lot about fossils during the day. During dinner in the evening, everyone was chatting and did not continue to discuss fossils.
Expert Liu has to leave in two days, and these doctoral students will stay in the barren mountains for a while. Expert Liu invited Wang Xiaoshan to dinner today for this reason.
Wang Xiaoshan knows a lot about fossils and has more knowledge than Expert Liu.
Expert Liu thought that after he left, if these doctoral students had anything they didn't understand in Barren Mountain, they would ask Wang Xiaoshan to help answer them.
It is not difficult to explain issues that doctoral students do not understand. Wang Xiaoshan agrees that there should not be many issues that doctoral students do not understand, and it will not take a long time if he occasionally talks about them.
When Wang Xiaoshan lectures to doctoral students, he can let the audience listen. This can be regarded as a kind of interaction, just like the audience sending comments to chat with him.
"I'm finally back. I can't go out with you to socialize anymore. I haven't written my manuscript yet." Li Miaomiao returned to the hotel and immediately turned on the computer to start writing the day's manuscript.
Wang Xiaoshan: "I didn't dig out a lot today, so I can just write about it. Why are you in such a hurry!"
Li Miaomiao: "I have almost forgotten what I said during the day. I will listen to the recording later. I don't know these fossils as well as you do."
Although not many fossils were excavated today, it has already been a day and Li Miaomiao has forgotten all about it.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Okay, I'm going to wash up. Remember to tell me if you have any questions!"
There are still three hours until twelve o'clock in the morning. Li Miaomiao still has time to write the manuscript. If she can't finish it, Wang Xiaoshan will also help her.
Wang Xiaoshan was not idle even when he was lying on the bed after washing. He is so famous now that many people contact him every day.
Today, several first-class universities want to invite Wang Xiaoshan to be a visiting professor. To put it bluntly, they want him to make a name for himself and occasionally give a few open classes.
These first-class universities are located all over the country. It is quite good to be a visiting professor at a first-class university, but Wang Xiaoshan has no time at all.
These universities are too scattered. It would take at least ten days for Wang Xiaoshan to visit each one one by one. He does not have this time now.
Wang Xiaoshan had no choice but to temporarily refuse because he was too busy. These universities were paying attention to him and must have seen his live broadcast. He broadcast live five days, seven days a week, just like office workers every day.
In addition to people from the school contacting Wang Xiaoshan, some media also want to interview him. He is so popular now that everyone wants to ride on his popularity.
Wang Xiaoshan refused all the interviews. He didn't even have time to be a visiting professor, so there was no time for interviews. He could think about it when he was done with his work during this period.
Today, a foreign museum invited Wang Xiaoshan to go to the local area for exchanges. He decisively refused. He had no interest in dealing with these foreigners.
After replying to all the messages that needed to be replied, Wang Xiaoshan went to help Li Miaomiao. It was almost eleven o'clock and the manuscript was not finished yet. If he didn't help, the girl would have to write until the early morning.
Now Wang Xiaoshan's reputation is so great that several strange phone calls contact him almost every day. He has already changed his phone number, but someone can still find him.
People are afraid of being famous just as pigs are afraid of being strong. Being famous also comes with worries. Even if Wang Xiaoshan wants to make money in obscurity.
With Wang Xiaoshan's help, Li Miaomiao finally sent out the manuscript before twelve o'clock. Without him, the girl would not have been able to finish it before twelve o'clock.
Li Miaomiao kissed Wang Xiaoshan's face: "I'll give you a reward and continue tomorrow!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "You have to go to heaven. There will be no entertainment tomorrow. Come back and write it yourself in the evening. Well... if you want me to help, it depends on your performance tonight."
Li Miaomiao: “I think I’m pretty good at writing the manuscript myself, so I don’t need help!”
Wang Xiaoshan chuckled: "Okay, then go and wash up. I'll pay the royalties just now. I want the daily settlement."
Li Miaomiao rolled her eyes at Wang Xiaoshan and said for a long time that the last sentence was the key point. She was destined not to go to bed early again tonight.
...
The next day after breakfast, Wang Xiaoshan and Li Miaomiao set off again. When they arrived at the barren mountain today, they found that the barren mountain had changed drastically.
There were two buses parked outside Huangshan today. There was no sign of a certain tour group on the buses. It looked like they were not tourists.
When Wang Xiaoshan and Li Miaomiao walked to the camp, he saw many people standing in the distance. He didn't know what they were doing. Anyway, everyone stood still as if they were watching something.
Wang Xiaoshan walked up to Captain Shi and said, "Captain Shi, what are those people doing? Are they here to visit and study?"
Letting so many people into the barren mountain at once was designated as an act of the cultural relics unit. Captain Shi would not have let so many people in if there had been no warning from above.
Captain Shi: "You guessed it right, they are here to visit and study. These people are from nearby cities and they came here specially to study today."
The people who came to visit this time were all staff from cultural relics units in nearby cities. These staff usually have less contact with dinosaur fossils.
The leaders of these cities sent some staff to Barren Mountain to study. There is a great master like Wang Xiaoshan in Barren Mountain. It will also be helpful for future excavation work if the staff learn more from Wang Xiaoshan.
This is all because Wang Xiaoshan is so famous. He digs out dinosaur fossils wherever he goes and finds fossils wherever he goes. His ability has spread throughout the cultural relics community across the country.
This time, people were sent to some nearby cities, and some far away cities have not sent anyone yet. If a few people were sent to each city, there would be no way to excavate the barren mountains.
Wang Xiaoshan: "I want to learn how to dig by hand, but I can't learn just by watching them. It would be great if these people could help me dig together!"
In Wang Xiaoshan's eyes, these workers from other cities are free labor, and having these people join can speed up the progress of fossil excavation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Anyway, Wang Xiaoshan has signed an agreement with Director Wei. He only directs the excavation, and he will make money as long as the fossils are excavated in the barren mountains.
For Wang Xiaoshan, it doesn't matter who digs it. What's important is that the fossils should be dug out as soon as possible. Only when the fossils are dug out can one make money. If they can't be dug out, it's just empty talk.
Wang Xiaoshan chatted with Captain Shi for a while and then left the camp. The live broadcast time was coming and he had to go to work.
"Good morning to all viewers in the live broadcast room. We will continue to dig today. The fossils we dug yesterday were pretty good. I hope we can dig better fossils today!"
[What are Lao Wang going to dig for today? Is it still seafood? We already have fish and shrimps, so we can dig for other things. It’s best to have a seafood feast! 】
[Old Wang, please order some crabs. I haven’t seen crabs from ancient times. Maybe I can see the roe of ancient crabs! 】
[Old Wang, I just saw a lot of people not far behind you. What do those people do? Can tour groups be included in Barren Mountain now? 】
[Most of these people came to the barren mountains to learn how to dig fossils from Lao Wang. Haven’t you seen the news? Lao Wang is super famous now.]
[Lao Wang quickly arranged for these people to dig holes and let them all dig, so that we can see a lot of fossils every day! 】
During this period, Wang Xiaoshan dug out a lot of ancient creatures in the water. Together, these fossils can make a pot of seafood dinner.
Some viewers wanted to see shrimps before, and Wang Xiaoshan happened to dig up one yesterday. Today, some viewers wanted to see crabs, and they all thought of him as a fisherman.
There are indeed a lot of paleontological fossils in the ocean, but you can't always dig up everything you want.
According to Wang Xiaoshan's excavation speed, it is very fast to excavate fossils, but it is uncertain what can be excavated, and everything can only be left to chance.
When Wang Xiaoshan was talking in the live broadcast room just now, the audience saw many people standing not far behind him. These people's goals were really too big.
Although there were a lot of workers in Barren Mountain before, most of them were digging in pits. The audience had hardly seen many people in Barren Mountain.
This time, many people suddenly came to Barren Mountain, and the audience was very curious as to why so many people came.
More than half of the audience guessed that these people came to learn from Wang Xiaoshan. Wang Xiaoshan was the main force in digging fossils in barren mountains. If they came to visit and learn, they must go to Wang Xiaoshan.
Wang Xiaoshan also wanted these people to dig holes, but just now Captain Shi told him that these people seemed to only visit and study and did not know how to dig.
"The people you see are all staff members who come to visit and study."
"I'll show you how other pits are being dug first!"
Wang Xiaoshan took the camera and first showed the audience several pits being dug.
There was a big dinosaur pit yesterday, and some of the dinosaur bones have been dug out. According to the current progress, they should be dug out tomorrow at the latest.
No fossils have been seen yet in some other small pits being excavated, and it is not clear whether fossils can be excavated today.
The staff who came to Huangshan today to visit and study would take the initiative to let Wang Xiaoshan come to see the situation in the pit first.
The staff who came to visit and study were all told where they were going today and who they were going to study with.
Some of these people have watched Wang Xiaoshan's live broadcast, some have not, and some are his die-hard fans.
Wang Xiaoshan took the audience through it and found another place for him to dig today. This time, the place he found was a little further away from other people, and it was quieter.
"You have already seen the situation in other pits. Now I am ready to dig. We will talk about it after we dig out the fossils!"
[Other pits are dug too slowly. They are too anxious to dig pits, especially the big pit. When will the dinosaurs be dug out! 】
[Come on, Lao Wang, dig out the fossils quickly, we can’t wait!]
[Zhi Zheng, I like to watch Lao Wang digging holes, but no one else can, they are as slow as a snail!]
The audience has already started discussing with each other.
At this time, Wang Xiaoshan was debugging the drone. There were too many people coming to the barren mountain today, so he planned to let the audience watch the entire process from the perspective of the drone.
After Wang Xiaoshan finished debugging, he just picked up the shovel and suddenly a middle-aged man came over to him.
"Hello, Lao Wang." The middle-aged man said politely.
Wang Xiaoshan said with a smile, "Hello."
This middle-aged man's surname is Ma, and he is a deputy director of the nearby city's cultural relics unit. Today, Director Ma brought his staff to Barren Mountain to study.
Director Ma: "Old Wang, could you please help my people find a place to dig and let them try to dig too."
"Don't worry, you won't damage the fossils. There are not only novices here this time, but also a few veterans!"
Director Ma came to Barren Mountain today just to let his men practice their skills. Captain Shi didn't say that when he asked before.
Although he asked his men to come and practice their skills, Director Ma still wanted these staff to dig out some fossils, so that the scene would be memorable.
If you just want to practice digging holes, you don’t need to go to the barren mountains, you can just find any place.
In Director Ma's eyes, the reason why so many fossils were dug out of the barren mountains was all related to Wang Xiaoshan. Even if he was working as a free labor force, he still wanted to be valuable.
Director Ma came here to discuss with Wang Xiaoshan and asked him to help find a few places to dig. He has already brought all the people, and Wang Xiaoshan is not needed for guidance.
If Director Ma's people can't handle it, they can finally ask Wang Xiaoshan for advice. Director Ma also knows that Wang Xiaoshan is very busy with live broadcasts every day, so he specially brought experienced employees over.
Since someone was willing, Wang Xiaoshan was naturally happy, so he contacted Director Wei first.
It is not difficult for him to find a few places where he can dig, but he is afraid that these people will dig badly, so he first vents his breath and tells his superiors. If the superiors agree, then it will have nothing to do with him if they dig badly.
After confirming that there was no problem, Wang Xiaoshan took Director Ma to the barren mountain to find three dig sites. Let them try to dig first. It would be best if they could dig out. If they couldn't dig out, he would accept it later.
Director Ma had read reports about Wang Xiaoshan before and also watched the live broadcast. Only when he came to Huangshan today did he really know how powerful Wang Xiaoshan was.
Wang Xiaoshan pointed out three points to Director Ma and asked Director Ma to bring people to dig. He also told Director Ma that there must be something underneath, but he didn't know what it was specifically, and asked them to be careful when digging.
Director Ma has participated in several excavations, but this is the first time he has seen someone who can find the fossil excavation site so quickly as Wang Xiaoshan.
Today, some of the people led by Director Ma still don’t believe that Wang Xiaoshan is so capable. The live broadcast was so fake that everyone didn’t trust the live broadcast.
But Director Ma still has great trust in Wang Xiaoshan, otherwise he would not have brought so many people to visit and study.
After finding the location, Director Ma immediately arranged for people to get tools and start working to dig out the fossils from the ground as soon as possible.
Captain Shi was confused now. Didn't he agree not to dig when he first came here? Why did he suddenly want to dig again? The change was a bit fast.
Captain Shi thought for a while and finally figured out that the root cause of all this was Wang Xiaoshan.
If Wang Xiaoshan was not there and only came to visit, he only started digging because he was there. Captain Shi found out that he was really capable.
After Director Ma's men started to move, the entire barren mountain was dug in full swing.
Although they are all cultural relic units, they do not belong to the same city. The excavation workers are all very competitive, and everyone wants to dig out fossils earlier than the other.
This is what Wang Xiaoshan wants to see. There is pressure only when there is competition. The workers who originally dug in the barren mountains were under too little pressure and dug too slowly.
Now that there are opponents, everyone is digging faster.
