Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Ivory fossils as souvenirs. Abbey Dean Ning’s collection plan
Translator: 549690339
Ning Fei was still cutting through the ice.
He was like Wu Gang, who was chopping trees on the moon. He was focused and tireless.
Gradually, the hole became bigger and bigger, and Ning Fei’s body almost disappeared from the ground.
The puppy was playing on the side. When it realized that it could not see Ning Fei, it immediately ran to the edge of the deep hole to take a look.
The drone was hovering above.
The netizens were paying close attention to Ning Fei’s movements, and the bullet comments had never been heard before.
[ Abbey Dean Ning said that mammoth tusks have been found! ]
[ oh my God, how much is this thing worth? ! ]
[ it doesn’t seem to be particularly valuable, because many mammoth ivory fossils have been unearthed. After all, ivory doesn’t decay with time. There must be more and more of it. ]
[ oh my God, you must have watched too many short videos. How can mammoth ivory be worth more than ten million? Is this called not valuable? ]
[ oh my God, I went to the South Pole and dug up mammoth ivory. You must be joking! ]
Under the Ice Pit, Ning Fei’s movements became a little lighter, because he was now very close to the ivory.
Mammoth ivory lay horizontally under the ground, so digging it up was not that troublesome.
The drone flew down a little, and the netizens could clearly see the traces of the tusks under the ice from the live broadcast.
These were two very long tusks. They looked as tall as a person, and were 1.78 meters long!
Moreover, the tusks were completely white, like warm jade!
“What a beautiful ancient ivory!”
“Oh my God, this is really a treasure!”
“Abbey Dean Ning’s treasure-hunting physique is driving me crazy with envy!”
“I’m shooting a movie here!”
At this moment, Ning Fei took out a shovel and carefully cleared away the ice around the ivory.
Things that were frozen were very brittle, especially those that had been frozen for thousands of years.
When Ning Fei finally took the ivory out of the ice, the netizens finally saw the full appearance of the two tusks.
They were a pair of huge white ivory tusks that looked like jade. They were very complete and did not seem to have any flaws.
“I still have to remind you.”
“It is illegal to buy and sell ivory. If there is no trade, there is no killing. This is not an alarmist.”
“However, ivory fossils can be bought and sold. There are a lot of ancient ivory fossils unearthed abroad that can be purchased through normal channels.”
Ning Fei thought of something and said.
In his eyes, it was a sick idea to take something alive for collection.
“Abbey Dean Ning, don’t worry. Even if we want to buy it, we can’t afford it.”
“Buying a few teeth at the cost of millions is the work of a rich man!”
“I also hope that everyone can pay attention to the protection of wild animals.”
Then, someone asked:
[ Abbey Dean Ning, are you selling this ivory? ]
[ yes, Abbey Dean, I’m ready to bid. ]
[ don’t Tell Me Abbey Dean Ning is going to donate it to the country? ]
[ it’s possible! ]
Ning Fei shook his head when he saw everyone’s comments.
He was just a Taoist priest who did not want to stir up trouble in the secular world. He had never had any intention of donating. The fossils and antiques from before could only be considered as being handed over, not considered as a donation.
That was the law. He just had to abide by it.
However, this pair of ivory was found on the ownerless continent in Antarctica. If he picked it up, it would naturally be his.
“I don’t intend to donate, nor do I intend to auction it.”
“This is a good souvenir.”
Ning Fei said slowly.
[ souvenir? ]
The netizens were stunned.
“Because memories are a very beautiful thing.”
“One day, when I am old and lying on the recliner of Qingfeng Temple, the most beautiful thing may be to recall the experiences of my travels.”
“But at that time, my memory may not be very good, and I need some real objects as a memento.”
“So now, I plan to leave behind some memorable things in every place I visit when I travel around the world.”
“It might be a strange stone or a leaf.”
“This pair of mammoth ivory fossils is very good.”
“I’m planning to set up a collection hall.”
Ning Fei said leisurely.
At this moment, Ning Fei’s live broadcast was being carried out simultaneously abroad.
His outdoor live broadcast was also very popular abroad.
The name of the foreign live broadcast room was not “The live broadcast room of the abbey dean of Qingfeng Abbey”, but “The traveler who explores the world”.
This name was given by the foreign live broadcast company.
There were many travelers who traveled the world, and some of them had a large number of fans and great influence.
Ning Fei’s influence in the world was not enough, but the world he explored was all the most mysterious places in the world.
Therefore, his number of global fans grew rapidly.
Ning Fei put away the ivory and called out to the little dogs who were still playing in the distance.
At the same time, Ning Fei swept the snow around him into the pit he threw out and stepped on it with force. He was also worried that someone or a penguin would fall into the pit.
His meticulous action was also praised by the netizens.
Ning Fei put on the reins of the sled dog, put the ivory into his bag, and then shouted,
“Back to the research station, let’s Go!”
In an instant, the puppy and the Alaskans began to run quickly.
The sled once again sped forward.
When they were almost back to the research station, it was already a little dark.
“It’s April now, and the Antarctic belongs to the cold season, so it gets dark a little earlier.”
“If we come to the Antarctic in March or September, we can still see the phenomenon of extreme day and extreme night.”
“During extreme daytime, the sun doesn’t set for an entire day. It will always hang above your head.”
“This is also the magic of nature.”
Ning Fei got down from the sleigh and said again.
When the netizens heard Ning Fei’s description, they were a little fascinated for a moment.
After that, Ning Fei went off-stream.
On the other side, when Liu Dashan and the members of the scientific expedition team heard that Ning Fei had dug out a pair of mammoth tusks from the ice, they were so shocked that their jaws almost fell off!
Mammoth tusks were not very valuable. There were many mammoth tusks in existence.
However, the white mammoth tusks dug out from the Antarctic Ice were very particular!
Most mammoth ivory fossils were black and had been completely changed by time.
The white mammoth tusks also showed that the ivory was extraordinary and might not even be an ordinary species!
The Chinese Antarctic research team had been here so many times, but they had never found such a precious ice fossil. And Ning Fei had found it just one day after arriving.
This luck was really not something that ordinary people could compare to.
“Abbey Dean Ning, I have a presumptuous request. What do you think?”
Liu Dashan looked at the tusk in Ning Fei’s flying bag with envy.
“Chief Liu, what’s the matter?”
Ning Fei replied politely.
“That’s right. Can you lend US this pair of ivory for two days?”
“Don’t worry, we won’t damage any part of the ivory.”
“Just taking photos, using isotopes to calculate the age, using a microscope to observe, etc. .”
“As you know, this is the main function of the research station, which is to explore the south pole scientifically. This ivory is too important for the research work.”
“We only need two days, or even one day. When the time comes, we will definitely return it intact!”
Liu Dashan said with some apprehension.
He really wanted to study the ivory, which was also the reason why he stayed at the South Pole Station.
However, Liu Dashan also knew that ivory was very valuable. A two-meter-long white mammoth ivory fossil was estimated to be worth more than ten million.
Could one person give something worth ten million to others?
It was easy to say, but if one really wanted to do it, how many people would be able to do it.
Ning FEI’s expression did not change. He just smiled and said,
“Of course there’s no problem. The ivory is only a souvenir to me. If it can provide convenience for your research work, that would be the best.”
“You guys do your research first. I’ll take it when I leave.”
Hearing Ning Fei’s words, Liu Dashan’s expression became joyful.
He looked at Ning Fei with a bright and passionate gaze.
For Liu Dashan to be able to do scientific research in the Antarctic, he must be very passionate about scientific research. His heart was filled with sincerity.
However, Ning Fei felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. He immediately handed the ivory to Liu Dashan and went back to his house to look at his fox and cat.
