Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 229 This is a freak
Ever since Boss Cheng said that Li Ding'an was talking nonsense, Jiang Lingyu opened a live broadcast room and has not stopped broadcasting until now.

There are about three to four thousand online fans, most of whom were from her last live broadcast in Liaoning. Of course, they all know Li Ding'an.

"Hey, is that okay? Our teacher Li is also an expert?"

"Not to mention his appraisal ability, given his reputation in the antiques circle and the fact that he is in the capital, it would be strange not to invite him to the exhibition."

"Even for publicity purposes, we have to invite him to participate. What's more, he carries so many labels and halo. With him in charge, the credibility of this exhibition will immediately rise to a new level."

"That's right, you're an expert in anti-counterfeiting. It's definitely Scorpion Ladaba...it's just weird. Why doesn't anyone bother him?"

"What's that look like? Isn't the person sitting opposite him just looking for trouble?"

At this moment, netizens knew what was going on. Listening to the discussions of the people next to them, it turned out that Li Ding'an had already seen one for Boss Cheng before, and it was a fossil.

"Good guy, does Li Ding'an even understand fossils?"

"Of course, fossils are also for fun, okay?"

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Go and ask, whether it's in the antique world or the appraisal world, is there any expert who dares to say that he can identify fossils? At most, he can only look at things like amber and take a look. Is it made of glass or resin?"

"This is..."

Netizens were talking a lot, and Li Ding'an also started his performance...oh no, appraisal.

Although these fans in the live broadcast room are not die-hard fans, they are not like the fans of "I Dig in the Alley" who witnessed how Li Ding'an grew up step by step, and how Li Ding'an created miracles time and time again.

But last time there was such a big fuss, Li Ding'an was almost stripped to the bone, so most of them knew what he had done. When they saw the things he said looked like tiger teeth, they were not tiger teeth, but there wasn't much. surprise.

Seven or eight out of ten people believed that Li Ding'an's judgment was definitely correct: Don't worry about what others say, and how many reasons there are, the key depends on what our teacher Li says.

Do not believe?

Thinking about the map of Shenyang, everyone said that Li Ding'an made a mistake, but what was the result?
How many years have passed, and how many experts and scholars have been slapped in the face?
Therefore, this time it is the same.

The result is really this: a good tiger tooth turned into a liger?

"You've gained a lot of knowledge. Does Li Ding'an even understand this?"

"Didn't you listen to what he said? He had an idea: he felt that the tooth was ridiculously big, but it had all the characteristics of a tiger's tooth, so he thought about whether it was a cross between a tiger and some other animal, and then he thought of a liger."

"You really dare to believe that he is so casual and perfunctory? Why don't you give it a try? It won't take long. When someone asks Li Ding'an to identify some weird stuff again, can you help us think about it?"

"I'm not an expert in appraisal?"

"Isn't that the end? Who doesn't know how to talk? Look at the things on the table: not only are there appraisal certificates, but there are also invoices... If it were so easy to associate, this thing would have been recognized long ago. Can it still be sold now and sell for more than 20?"

"It's really amazing. He can tell that this thing doesn't look like a tiger's tooth. It can also be said that his vision is accurate and his experience is rich enough, so he is well-deserved. But he can recognize ligers, as well as "gene incomplete inheritance" and albinism. This is It’s a bit much.”

"It's not just excessive, it's simply outrageous: this has gone beyond the scope of antique identification. Just like what Boss Cheng said, it involves not only biology, but also pathology and genetics..."

"Don't rush to blow it off. It's not certain yet. You'll have to get tested to find out."

"What kind of testing is needed? Not everyone is Boss Cheng. The duck's mouth is still hard after being cooked? You can identify it at a glance through biogenetic and wild animal bone testing...wait..."

This guy typed a line of subtitles and started @ non-stop:

@华大gene.

@博AObio.

@Dayawan.

@京城Wildlife Detection Center

@Wildlife DNA Identification and Legal Protection Research Center.

@Wildlife Appraisal Institute of the Physical Evidence Center of the Ministry of Public Security...

……

Each name is longer than the last, and the background is bigger than the last. He calls more than ten people in a row, and he actually calls out one of them.Another look: Skeleton Identification Center of the China Institute of Wildlife Detection Technology, a department affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

"Good guy, does it have the prefix Guo?"

“Scientists also use TikTok?”

"Nonsense, why don't you ask: Scientists also eat?"

"Stop making noise...scientist, let me take a look: what is this on the table?"

This guy just came in and had no idea what was going on. He glanced at it instinctively: "Tiger fang?"

Let me go, Li Ding'an got it wrong?
Fans in the live broadcast room were stunned. Someone was about to ask, but this person typed another line: Sorry, it was because of the angle. I saw it wrong at first. This is the tooth of a liger, and it is an adult liger. The bone age exceeds ten years, so it is extremely rare.

"Holy crap, is it really a liger?"

"Why do you say it's rare?"

"Didn't Li Ding'an just say that because of genetic defects, the survival rate of this thing is extremely low?"

Wildlife Skeleton Identification Center: "Yes, and the mortality rate is extremely high. Most of them die due to various genetic diseases, so very few grow to adulthood."

"Li Ding'an seemed to have said the same thing just now..."

There was a lot of discussion, and then the staff sent a report: "Boss Cheng, the identification results are out, it is indeed a dinosaur egg fossil: the scientific name is Hajia Frutadon, which belongs to the ornithischian Dimetrodonidae and belongs to the late Cretaceous period. , about 2000 million years ago... It was excavated in Colorado by American paleontologist Hajia Ferru in 1985 and named after himself...

What was discovered at that time was a gathering of the remains of Haja Frutadon, so the related fossil resources were extremely rich, with thousands of egg fossils alone. However, no similar discovery has been made since, so the inspectors believed that this The money flowed out from the United States..."

The staff's voice was not loud, but Boss Cheng's ears seemed to be filled with thunder, and he was stunned on the spot.There was even more excitement in the live broadcast room:

"Holy crap, are they really dinosaur eggs?"

"The Chinese Institute of Paleontology also has the prefix "国", so it can detect errors?"

"Nonsense, am I talking about the research institute? What surprised me was Li Ding'an: He can even identify fossils?"

"Wait a minute, who of you came early, did you hear what Li Ding'an said at that time?"

"When he identified the fossil, Jiang Lingyu had not yet started broadcasting. Later, he heard from the collectors who were watching: Li Ding'an said that this is a dinosaur egg fossil, which belongs to the late Cretaceous period, about 2000 million years ago... The excavation site is in Colorado, USA. The time of excavation was probably around the 80s..." "Good guy, every word is correct. Species, name, age, excavation location, and excavation time?"

"How did he do it?"

"You should have read relevant information, such as scientific magazines, otherwise there is no way to explain it."

"This is pretty awesome, okay? You know, he is a graduate student, and his major is cultural archeology. And fossils are nothing, paleontology, right? There is a huge difference..."

"And that tiger tooth also involves biology and pathology. Doesn't it have nothing to do with archeology?"

"The rows are crossed like this, it's amazing!"

"It's not just a cross-industry, just like appraising calligraphy and painting to appraise porcelain, that's called inter-industry, this is purely a cross-industry."

"No, the graduate student at Beijing University is so awesome. Is there anything he doesn't understand?"

"Don't open your mouth and brag, otherwise you can go to Beijing University and ask: Someone like him is definitely one of a kind. How many years will it take to see someone like him?"

"I've even pulled out the knife, and you're telling me this? Give me a good burial..."

Netizens were amazed, but the Tibetan friends who were watching were confused.

It is no exaggeration to say that the identification result of this fossil was definitely much more shocking to them than the tiger tooth before.

Those things are at least related to each other. For example, they are indeed the teeth of cats, and they do match the characteristics of tiger teeth. Although they cannot be regarded as real tiger teeth, ligers are at least born from tigers. There is an inevitable connection between the two. Relationship.

But what about this?

This is just a stone. It's amazing to be able to recognize it as a fossil. It's so small, only a little bigger than a pigeon egg.

How big are the dinosaurs in your impression?
Even if it's not a mountain, it's at least bigger than an elephant.

So when Li Dingan said it was a dinosaur egg fossil, not only Boss Cheng and his friends thought it was ridiculous, but also the collectors who were watching, all thought Li Dingan was talking nonsense.

There are also several experts nearby. Even though they know Li Ding'an well enough and trust his appraisal ability, they are still skeptical about his conclusions.

That is to say, out of politeness, scruples about Li Ding'an's past achievements, and out of precaution, no one questioned him.

In the past, when Li Ding'an was not too famous, someone had long stood up to argue.

Even so, fully half of the experts disagreed and felt that Li Ding'an's words were not rigorous and too full.Although it is indeed beyond the professional scope of "artifact identification", if the final result is different, it will definitely have an impact on his current status and reputation.

The remaining half are dubious, including Associate Professor Zhang and Associate Professor Ge from Peking University.The two of them were still thinking about how they should smooth things over and protect Li Ding'an if he overturned.

But now, the results came out, and everyone was shocked.

"How could this... be a dinosaur egg?"

After being lost for a long time, Boss Cheng seemed to mutter to himself, "Is this thing smaller than an egg?"

"It's nothing strange. Not all dinosaurs are big... I'll explain it to you and you'll understand."

Li Ding'an pointed at the stone, "This kind of dinosaur is only about [-] centimeters long when it reaches adulthood, and its tail takes up more than half, and it weighs only about one kilogram. What is this concept?
Generally, an adult rooster weighs about ten kilograms, a hen eight kilograms, a male duck six kilograms, and a female duck four kilograms... Even an adult pigeon weighs about one kilogram... Just imagine, the eggs of this thing can be as big as How many? "

It's really similar to a pigeon. Can this thing be called a dinosaur?
But the world is full of wonders, and there are many things he doesn't understand, such as tiger fangs: Before Li Dingan said it, he had no idea that tigers and lions could interbreed, and the things they would give birth to were even more powerful than these two guys. Big, but a sick fetus, having to be fed by others to survive?

Boss Cheng grinned as if he had a toothache, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Then how do you know what this thing is called Pycnodon, and how do you know that it only exists in the United States, and how do you know the specific time of its excavation?"

"Is it taught in school?"

Li Ding'an said matter-of-factly, "Boss Cheng, I'm a graduate student in the Department of Archeology. Note, it's the Department of Archeology... It's not just about digging graves and studying porcelain and bronze ware? It includes paleontology, but also biological remains and trace fossils. Professional, do you know this is not normal?”

Is that right?

"What about Huya?"

"This is even simpler: learning paleontology must involve modern biology, so I understand a little bit!"

Boss Cheng didn't know what the archeology department taught. He wriggled his lips and let out a long sigh: "I've learned a lesson!"

After saying that, he picked up the fossil and the smoking pot. The three friends looked at Li Ding'an with complicated expressions, but in the end they said nothing, squeezed through the crowd of onlookers, and walked away.

"You just left and took everything away?"

"Yes, what about the donation and charity auction we agreed on?"

"Expert Li, why don't you stop me?"

Li Ding'an just smiled, his tone still gentle, his expression still calm, and there was no expression of pride or complacency. : "I am only responsible for identification!"

It means that it is not under his control.

This magnanimity, this mind... For ordinary people, even if they are not impatient, they would not be able to let the other party leave so easily.

Not to say they were in awe, but many people's mentality changed somewhat when they saw this scene: with this gesture, they can be called experts.

It was a farce that ended in vain, so everyone just did what they were supposed to do.

Tibetan friends came up again, but this time it was the other way around. Most of them gathered in front of Li Ding'an, but there were far fewer other experts.

Walking side by side to their seats, Zhu Xun asked in a low voice: "Professor Zhang, the archeology major at Peking University requires so many subjects to learn, is it so complicated?"

Not to mention paleontology, biological remains and trace fossils... I feel like you have never heard of these two majors?
The flesh on Associate Professor Zhang's face twitched involuntarily: Are you listening to his nonsense?

Li Ding'an's concept was purely a stolen one: Peking University does have paleontology, and it does include biological remains and trace fossils. It was indeed once included in the School of Archeology, but that was 30 years ago, and it was canceled long ago.

Why?

The major is too remote and the employment prospects are basically zero.

It was not until about 10 years ago that the exploratory and experimental Yuanpei College of Peking University was established, and this major was reopened. However, the number of students enrolled every year is still in the single digits, making it even less popular than archeology and tombology.

Not to mention studying, few students in the School of Archeology know what the major is and what its nature is.

As for Li Ding'an, he is a freak...
