The discovery of a new element related to power ores was bound to be a hot topic in many fields.
When the mainstream media reported on the naming of the new element, they listed about a dozen names.
As the first discoverer of the ore, Fang Zhao had the first naming rights and was also the first in line. Although there were people from the Academy of Science team that had just arrived on planet Baiji who wanted to use other conditions to exchange for this naming rights, Fang Zhao did not agree. However, he agreed to let the other members of the team be named. Even if it was just in name, according to the current rules of the Academy of Science, in the future, they would have the honor of "participating in the naming of the element" Pi "in their personal records.
Of course, with so many people watching, there were very few people who would just rely on their background to enjoy the glory. In an era where information was so abundant online, even if someone had such thoughts, they had to do a good job of maintaining their image. Therefore, the people listed were basically people with real talent, including the few experimenters that Fang Zhao had met who were obsessed with researching new elements.
Because of this, when Fang Zhao had heard the suggestion of being named, he had not rejected it. He had already fought for the rights of being the first namer. Besides, he had only been lucky enough to discover the new ore and element. In terms of research, he had nothing to do with it and had no other contributions. Therefore, when it came to naming, Fang Zhao did not participate and would leave it to the professionals.
As there was not enough understanding of this element yet, there was very little information on the element "Pi" in the relevant teaching materials. As research progressed, the relevant information in the teaching materials would also increase, but that was a matter for the future. Right now, the most popular topic of discussion was still Fang Zhao and the new ore.
"If only I had Fang Zhao, my luck would be even better. Perhaps I could become famous overnight."
"What you lack is not luck but Fang Zhao's ears."
"That means that in the future, Fang Zhao's personal file will have an additional line: Discoverer of Baiji ore, first namer of the element Pi? That's so awesome. "
"This is the first time I've seen a celebrity cause such a big stir during his military service."
"If military service could really attract so much attention, those celebrities would not have tried so hard to escape. Even if they did serve, they would secretly use their connections to go somewhere leisurely and lay low for a year before returning. This is the first time a celebrity has served in such a high-profile military service, and for the entire duration."
"Who asked Fang Zhao to be so lucky to encounter Project Starlight."
"The first celebrity to livestream during his military service, the first celebrity to discover a new mineral in a livestream, and the first celebrity to discover and name a new element."
"But then again, will Fang Zhao continue to broadcast his mining in the future?"
"Probably. After all, he's still in military service. It's impossible for him to have as much freedom as the celebrities of the other four channels."
He had to work during his military service, and as a public figure, it was even more impossible for him to slack off. No matter what, no matter how leisurely he was behind the scenes, Fang Zhao absolutely could not slack off during his daily live broadcast time.
While everyone was discussing new ores and new elements online, Fang Zhao was in his room composing music scores.
All conscripts in the base had three days off, but they could only move around within the base. It was a rare long holiday for all the service personnel. In the past, as long as there was no extreme weather, they basically had to serve as usual. Now, not only did they have three days off, but the food in the canteen was also much better.
Now, the atmosphere on planet Baiji was much livelier. It wasn't as gloomy and dull as it had been in the past. All the conscripts felt a sense of pride. After completing their military service, they could brag to others when they returned: We are conscripts on planet Baiji. Do you know planet Baiji? That's the one that was newly designated as a priority for development!
There were military and professional teams at the mining site. Before the mining plan was formulated, no one else would be allowed to participate, let alone conscripts with complicated backgrounds. Baiji base absolutely would not allow them to interfere. They would rather let all the personnel rest on the base. After all, the base was not short of money. As long as Shanta said the word, there would naturally be people who would eagerly send over money. They might even fight to the death for this opportunity to deliver benefits.
Fang Zhao was also requested to temporarily stay on the base. Even though he was the discoverer of Baiji ore, Shanta would not allow him to open a live broadcast at the mining site. Currently, the mining site was under martial law.
Of course, Shanta also gave Fang Zhao, who had contributed greatly, many privileges. He could move about freely in many parts of the base. However, Fang Zhao did not go around the base. Instead, he stayed in his assigned room to compose. The process of excavating Baiji ore in the mining cave had given him quite a bit of inspiration.
This was a habit he had developed a long time ago. During the Period of Destruction, Fang Zhao had also done the same. However, at that time, it had not been convenient to carry things like notebooks, so he could only use his brain.
Not far away, Kevin Lin was lying on a recliner, rocking his feet as he listened to music with his headphones on. He was extremely pleased. He had already received a promise from his superior that he would definitely be rewarded when he returned. Not only would it be a bonus, but there would definitely be other benefits as well.
However, Kevin Lin's mood turned sour when he thought about the few other military reporters who had just arrived with the military. Those few military reporters had more privileges than he did. Their kind was half military and half entertainment, while the newcomers had a complete military background and were deeply trusted by Shanta. It was easy to guess that in the future, news about the Baiji ore and the new element would definitely come from those few military reporters. As for Kevin Lin, at most, he would be able to pick up some "scraps" that they had purposely spilled out from between their teeth.
It would be a lie to say that he was not feeling any emotions. Kevin Lin felt that his side had suffered a huge loss. He had once urged Fang Zhao to seek out Shanta for a detailed discussion and fight for more benefits, but unfortunately, Fang Zhao had ignored him.
Looking at Fang Zhao, who seemed to be deep in thought, Kevin Lin let out a light "tsk." He really could not figure out what this kid was thinking all day.
It was not that he was looking down on Fang Zhao. In the past, Kevin Lin's impression of Fang Zhao was indeed that he was just a young small-time celebrity whose popularity was passable. As someone who had interviewed many popular celebrities and government and military officials, Kevin Lin had indeed looked down on Fang Zhao a little. Even Kevin Lin was not satisfied with Fang Zhao's face.
Unfortunately, Fang Zhao was a conscript, and conscripts had certain hairstyles. There were professionals in charge of haircuts. Before entering the base, Fang Zhao had been shaved to a uniform inch. Although he looked clean and neat and not ugly, when compared to the four celebrities on the other channels, he was not as exquisite and perfect. Furthermore, the other four celebrities not only had good looks, but their hairstyles were styled by professionals. They changed their hairstyles every day, and their ability to attract fans was rather valiant. Not to mention that they not only had good looks, but they also had a background that had been accumulated over many years. Their popularity was there for all to see.
Kevin Lin had not been optimistic about Fang Zhao at the start, but in the end, on the first day of his military service, he had created big news.
After interacting with Fang Zhao for so long, Kevin Lin could see that Fang Zhao was different from other commercial entertainment celebrities.
This was probably the so-called artistic awareness? He really did have the air of an artist.
However, in terms of live broadcasts, Kevin Lin did not count on Fang Zhao. Big news had been created, but what about the future? He had to plan more.
Should he go to the base's laboratory and give it a try? Even if he could not obtain information on the mining area, he could still pry some information from the laboratory. But very quickly, Kevin Lin shook his head and rejected this idea. He had heard that the few laboratories researching new ores and elements had already raised the security level. The chances of them getting in were very slim.
Fang Zhao might seem very impressive as the first person to discover and name, but in reality, he did not have much say on planet Baiji. Or perhaps he did not even have a tiny bit of say.
"Sigh! What do we do! "Kevin Lin sighed. He glanced at Fang Zhao, who was still deep in thought and continued to sigh. Why isn't this fellow anxious?!
However, just as Kevin Lin was sighing, someone came to visit.
Kevin Lin was flabbergasted. "Professor Fan?"
The visitor was a middle-aged man. He was also someone from the Academy of Sciences HQ who had accompanied the reinforcements. His name was Fan Lin, and he was said to be a botanist.
Fan Lin was in his 90s. In the New Era, he was considered middle-aged, but compared to many people his age, Fan Lin looked even older.
Fan Lin was from Muzhou. He had made outstanding contributions to Muzhou's agriculture and was currently working at the Academy of Sciences HQ in Huangzhou.
Fang Zhao had already put down his pen and stood up. "Professor Fan."
"Am I interrupting? Composing? Not bad, not bad! "Fan Lin's eyes were small, and when he smiled, they turned into slits.
When some people squinted, they gave people the impression that they were up to something, but when this person smiled, he was indeed very amiable.
Of course, that was just the first impression. There were many people like this in the Academy of Sciences HQ, but none of them had low EQ. They might not have any evil intentions, but every action definitely had a deeper meaning.
Fang Zhao poured a cup of warm water and handed it over. "Is there something you need from me?"
Even if Fang Zhao felt that he was older than this person, he was only in his twenties, so he still had to use honorifics. Furthermore, this person had indeed made significant contributions. Fang Zhao had always been very respectful toward scientists who had made outstanding contributions.
Fan Lin sat down, accepted the cup, and took a leisurely sip before saying, "Do you have any plans for the future?"
Kevin Lin's heart skipped a beat. He had originally intended to leave and let these two slowly chat, but when he heard this, he retracted his leg. Fan Lin had said "you" and had just glanced at him. He had no intention of chasing him away, so Kevin Lin retracted his leg and hurriedly said, "Not yet. The mining area doesn't let us near. I was just thinking about what to do with the upcoming live broadcast."
Fan Lin nodded. "I heard that too."
Fang Zhao would only be used when there was no equipment available. Now that the latest detectors had been moved over, and there were three upgraded versions, there was no need for Fang Zhao there. Even if Fang Zhao was touted as a "Diting" and a "godly ear," the convenience of machines was something that humans could not achieve.
"The mining area doesn't need you to continue 'listening'. They won't be letting you mine in the near future." Fan Lin smiled amiably at Fang Zhao. "Mining is very dry and boring. I advise you not to waste your time. Why don't you come with me to farm?"
Kevin Lin: "…" You make it sound like farming is not dry and boring and is very interesting.
