In the next two slopes, the students found four more plants of the same genus Blue Acanthophyllum within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area. network

As a result, Professor Xie's attitude has become more positive and serious.

Obviously, this means that what Yang Rui has found is not a particular variation. Although whether a new species is to be studied, it is doubtful that it is a species.

In fact, the punishment of a new species means that the newly mutated species forms a new population. The so-called evolutionary static is a complete joke in the professional academic field.

Including humans, species are evolving all the time.

However, to become a new species, the conditions required are not just mutation. For taxonomists, the real problem is that the present degree of species cannot keep up with the degree of extinction. Species on the earth are exhausted in order to adapt to the fast-changing earth.

Xu Anqing was also exhausted.

He also slanted twice in the field, and he even saw a plant of the genus Blue thorns from a distance, but this only made him feel more upset.

He wanted to ask Yang Rui, why do you think this plant is weird?

For Xu'anqing, who grew up in a large southern city, most of the plants in the Badaling forest area are strange. And he, can't ask Professor Xie pointing to every plant, at least, can't ask Professor Xie pointing to a plant tens of meters away.

However, if Xu Anqing was killed, he would not ask Yang Rui.

As a result, the heavier the doubt, the lower Xu Anqing's mood became.

Professor Xie saw Xu Anqing's changes in his eyes.

After a while, when the specimen collection was over and the team was ready to return, Professor Xie Gaoyi took the initiative to come to Xu Anqing and said, "You know, being a botanist and discovering new species is about temperament."

"En? Botanist temperament, what do you mean?" Xu Anqing was a little confused for a while.

Professor Xie looked at the distant mountains and said, “Some botanists have glue on their bodies. No matter how they do field investigations, they can discover new species. Some botanists don’t necessarily have this kind of temperament. However, it does not mean that there is no way out."

Xu Anqing looked at Professor Xie naturally.

"For example, a folk person who has not received a complete education in botany, he has discovered a new species, or a suspected new species, what should he do?" Professor Xie was tempted.

Xu Anqing replied without thinking: "I should find a professional and authoritative organization for appraisal."

Professor Xie nodded and said, "That's right. But in fact, it is basically impossible for people to find professional institutions for appraisal."

Xu Anqing asked in surprise: "Why?"

"Because we don't have enough manpower to identify these species." Xie Gaoyi said calmly: "Do you know how many standards for suspected new species exist in Peking University alone?"

Xu Anqing dangled blankly.

Xie Gaoyi said: "I don't know, because there are too many."

Xu An was green and dumb.

"What I mean by this passage is that the emergence of new species is actually not the only way out for botanists, nor is it the most important place. The botanists we need most are capable of identifying and analyzing new plants and new specimens. "Yes." Xie Gaoyi said here, paused, and said: "If you have enough identification and analysis capabilities, you don't need to go out to find new plants, you just stay in the laboratory and sort out the previous specimens."

Xu Anqing understood now, and said, "You mean, there are two kinds of botanists. One is to do field surveys and discover new species, and the other is to analyze and identify new species."

Xie Gaoyi was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Do I mean this?"

"Yes."

"You are mistaken." Xie Gaoyi immediately denied, saying: "Botanists are always able to analyze and identify new species. However, when some botanists do field surveys, they are always out of luck and cannot find new ones. Species, so just checking the specimens in the laboratory is also very valuable work."

Xu Anqing wanted to bury his head in the soil, and then asked Professor Xie, who was buried deeper: Didn't you tell me to be an old school?

In the eyes of Professor Xie, old scholarship may be a good ulcer, but for young and frivolous college students, it is almost the same as dead.

At this time, Professor Xie looked at Xu Anqing who was in deep thought, feeling that he had comforted the child perfectly, nodded, and said: "If you want to learn about botany in the future, you can come to me at any time."

After speaking, Professor Xie continued his teaching task, explaining the plants he saw to the students along the way.

But unlike when they came here, the students who have just gone through the emergence of 10% of new species are no longer interested in familiar plants. Their gazes are constantly wandering in the surrounding fields.

Everyone knows that the plants on both sides of the mountain road are often seen, but in the surrounding fields, the probability of plants being observed is greatly reduced.

Not long after, a classmate called out: "Professor Xie, come and take a look at this plant."

Professor Xie is not good at favoring one another, so he has to step across the slippery ground, through a barren grassland, and bend over to observe.

"Hu Zhizi." Professor Xie bent over for five seconds and straightened up.

The students still looked at Professor Xie blankly.

"Leguminos, Lespedeza." Professor Xie sighed and said: "This is a common shrub in the Badaling area."

"Will it be a new species of Lespedeza?" The students were a little unwilling.

"Looking at the branches, the petioles, and the short spines are all normal shapes." Professor Xie paused and said: "When we talk about new species, they generally have different appearances. Then, we have to judge whether these appearances determine the species. The taxa you belong to. Well, everyone should observe more and accumulate more."

"Aren't all Yang Rui present." At some point, Geng Jiang came to Professor Xie~lightnovelpub.net~ and whispered.

Professor Xie sighed and said: "To discover a new species, it requires luck and the temperament of a botanist. It does not mean that it will appear now."

"Professor Xie, take a look at this." No matter what he said, Geng Jian directly found a different plant in front of him.

Professor Xie turned his head, and said, "Wei spear."

"For Mao?" Geng admonished, his face slightly changed, and said, "Professor Xie, I think this plant is not the same as the plants we have seen all the way."

"Hogan!"

"It's not you, just take a look"

"It's holly euonymus, a kind of shrub." Professor Xie said, and added: "This is an ornamental plant imported from Japan, and there are many cultivated in China."

Geng Jian was stunned for a moment, speechless.

"I think so, it's getting late, we have to hurry back, each student is only limited to one opportunity to ask questions, you can ask questions or not, and you are not allowed to leave the team 5o meters away, otherwise, I have to record The list is handed over to your counselor." Professor Xie quickly came up with a solution that barely eased the situation.

At this moment, even students who didn't ask questions couldn't help it.

Who doesn't want to discover a plant by yourself and go out to brag in the future. To say the least, I have also contributed to the world's scientific research, sweated, suffered hardship, and had the peak of life.

As for Professor Xie, he is inevitably caught in the ocean of People's War.

He found that he didn’t need to explain the plants along the way. Almost all the plants that passed by were turned over by the students, and almost everyone was swaying at a distance of 5o meters, as if the farther away from the dirt road, the closer to success. Like.

Bai Ling couldn't bear Yang Rui, and wanted to discover a new species.

The two left the team, looming in the woods.
