In Shihua's perception, Zhang Zian is a super stingy and super sensible person, he even counts every phone bill charged to her clearly, how could he do something meaningless to waste money? His parents have passed away, but they still keep their old numbers open. This is not in line with his personality!
Zhang Zian didn't know why she asked this question, so he nodded, "If you don't recharge the phone bill, it will be shut down, and China Mobile is not doing charity."
"So, not only have you been charging their phone bills, but you've also charged their mobile phones every day?" Shihua asked, "Didn't you say that this is a commercial electricity use, and every time you pay an electricity bill, you feel distressed?"
Zhang Zian was speechless, "How stingy do you think I am?"
Shihua couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. It was like getting to know Zhang Zian again. He not only saved the number of his deceased parents in his phone contacts, but also recharged their numbers and charged their phones, just like They were alive, just like... they weren't dead.
She always thought she was lonely, but in fact he was lonely too.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Zhang Zian looked down at his pants to check if his crotch was also wet.
"It's nothing." Shihua shook his hair, swiped his fingers, selected Wei Kang from the contacts, and then dialed the phone. Hearing "Hello" from the other party, he handed the phone back to Zhang Zian, still tightly stared at him.
"Hello? Professor Wei, it's me, Zhang Zian." Zhang Zian was embarrassed by Shihua's stare, and walked out of the bathroom while making a phone call.
"Oh, Xiao Zhang, what's the matter? It's about the expedition team?"
Wei Kang's tone became tense all of a sudden, he was worried that Zhang Zian suddenly proposed to withdraw from the expedition team and no longer participate in the trip to Egypt, which would be a great loss to the expedition team.
"No, it has nothing to do with that at all. Actually... I want to borrow a scientific instrument from you. Is it convenient for you?" Zhang Zian said.
"What equipment? Let me tell you, if it's an ordinary instrument that I can make decisions about, it's fine. If it's an expensive instrument, I don't have permission to borrow it. I can only ask the leaders of the hospital..." Wei Kang said with some reservations Draw your voice.
Zhang Zian said: "It shouldn't be a particularly expensive instrument, but an underwater pickup. I wonder if you have it there?"
"Underwater pickup?" Wei Kang's voice paused, and then asked in surprise: "This instrument can be borrowed, but do you mind if I ask, why do you use this thing? You need to fill in a form for borrowed instruments. You have to know what your use is."
What he meant was that underwater pickups are still needed to open a pet store
Zhang Zian explained: "Professor Wei, recently I opened a branch, which is an aquarium, and I also became interested in whales, especially the sound of whales, which is very melodious and mysterious, and I am fascinated by it... now Aren’t there a lot of whales coming out of our city? I want to record some of their voices, and then play them in a loop in my aquarium, so as to create a mysterious atmosphere under the sea.”
"I can't tell, Xiao Zhang, your aesthetic style is quite high! Few young people of your age can calm down and listen to whale songs." Wei Kang's tone was both surprised and appreciative, rather than ironic. "However, the singing of whales can be downloaded from the Internet and ready-made, why do you need to record it yourself?"
Zhang Zian smiled and said, "Professor Wei, you should not be the one to ask this question... You go to the field for so much hard work, and you may not be able to discover new species as you wish. Why do you go again and again? Although you can download it online There are ready-made whale songs, but I still want to record myself, maybe I can find something new and different.”
Wei Kang was silent for a moment, Zhang Zian thought that what he said made him angry, but he immediately slapped the table and praised: "Good! This is the spirit that scientific exploration should have! It seems that you are born to be suitable for this line of work Ah! Really don't consider coming to take my postgraduate exam?"
"Professor Wei, you're joking again!" Zhang Zi'an said in a heart-warming manner. He spoke in a way that suits his preferences. He purposely sought Wei Kang's favor in order to successfully borrow the underwater pickup. How could he have the spirit of scientific exploration...
Wei Kang sighed, "Okay, I'll tell my colleagues who study marine life to see if they still have any free underwater pickups... By the way, how long do you want to borrow?"
"Maybe in a few days... I'll try to be as fast as possible." At this moment, Zhang Zian was not sure whether he would encounter giant whales again when he went to the beach next time, so he could only relax his time.
"By the way, Professor Wei, tell your colleagues that I won't borrow it in vain, and your colleagues will be rewarded accordingly." He added.
"No, you don't need to pay any money. This time, it's a personal loan from me, so you don't need to pay any money."
Wei Kang thought that he had to pay the rent and said that he didn't have to pay, but Zhang Zian actually wanted to repay in a special way. In the name of a private person, he donated a few of the ice sea anemones he bred and bred to the Biology Department of Binhai University, and provided them for cooking. Research.
The ice anemone is a new species that has just been discovered under the Antarctic ice sheet in recent years. So far, people do not understand their habits and how they root their delicate bodies on the solid ice. If the teachers and students of Binhai University can lead the world in unraveling the mysteries of the ice sea anemone, and even discover a certain ingredient in the ice sea anemone that can be used in medicine, it may cause quite a stir. At that time, he will be honored. It is convenient to borrow things.
Zhang Zian didn't have the corresponding knowledge and research equipment, nor was he interested in it. The ice anemone in his hands was just a pet for viewing, so it was better to share some out to benefit science, and it could be regarded as making up for the favor he owed Wei Kang many times.
"It's not about paying, it's so vulgar to talk about money, I want to give you some good things." He pretended to be mysterious to tease Wei Kang's appetite.
Wei Kang was taken aback when he heard the words, thinking that Zhang Zian had finally figured it out and was willing to take out the original Egyptian cat for his research, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem like that.
Although he repeatedly asked what it was, Zhang Zian never explained in detail, and planned to give him a surprise when the underwater pickup was returned.
Wei Kang hung up the phone first, went to borrow an instrument from his colleague, and then called Zhang Zian, saying that everything went well, and there happened to be a free one at the colleague's side.
The two agreed on a time and place to meet.
When the time came, Zhang Zian drove to Binhai University, filled out the corresponding rental form with Wei Kang's help, and finally got the precious underwater pickup.
With this thing, the sound of the giant whale can be recorded and analyzed to unravel its mystery.
