As he was sizing up the Water Bile Amber in his hand, Lu Yu heard a few urgent and continuous private message notifications.
Someone sent him several private messages in a row?
Lu Yu was stunned and opened his private message list.
It was Lin Tiansu.
[Loving the Strange Stone of the Old Lin: Brother Lu Yu, I didn't contact you because of your previous Insect Amber, so please read the following words.】
[Old Lin who loves strange stones: When I saw your Water Bile Amber just now, I realized that its value might not be as simple as an ornamental item or a collectible.】
[Old Lin: That's why I contacted the Empire's Institute of Geology immediately. After communicating with them, I confirmed that the Water Bile Amber in your hand is indeed of great significance.】
[Loving the Strange Stone, The reason why I sent you a private message was not to buy this Water Amber from you, but I hope that you can not sell this Water Amber for the time being. You can make a decision after you understand its value. Is that okay?】
[Old Lin who loves strange stones: If nothing goes wrong, someone from the Imperial Institute of Geography will contact you very soon.】
After reading Lin Tiansu's private message, Lu Yu finally understood what he meant.
Generally speaking, ambers were traded for collectibles and art pieces.
According to Lin Tiansu, the Water Gall Amber in his hand had a scientific value that far exceeded its artistic value.
Lu Yu pondered for a moment and replied to the private message,
[Thank you for the reminder, but I haven't decided to sell it now, so don't worry.]”
Lin Tiansu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Yu's private message.
The dynasty's official purchase of this amber was for scientific research.
Although he did not have a special understanding of the material analysis, he knew that even if the dynasty's officials wanted to buy this Water Gall Amber, it would be a rather painful price.
Even the government's scientific research institutions had a limited budget every year. It was impossible to buy back everything they saw.
Lin Tiansu was also planning this.
Lu Yu now had two pieces of amber, an insect amber, and a water gall.
If the Imperial Institute of Geolgy wanted to buy it, they would definitely buy the water bladder with higher scientific value.
This way, he would have a chance to get that Insect Amber.
In the entire Yanxia Empire, Lin Tiansu could count on his fingers the number of people who were famous in the stone-playing circle and could eat this piece of insect amber.
It was impossible for those few people to receive this news in such a short period of time, so his chances would be higher.
After Lin Tiansu's reminder, Lu Yu thought about it a lot.
After thinking for a moment, he hugged the Water Bile Amber and shouted at Lee Zhengxiao in the distance, asking him to come back.
"What's wrong, Brother Lu?"
Lee Zhengxiao ran back.
Looking at his happy expression, he probably got some good amber again.
He briefly told Lee Zhengxiao about the Water Gall Amber. Lee Zhengxiao immediately understood the crux of the matter.
"Brother Lu, I understand. Let's go back first. Anyway, we've gained a lot today. We don't need to wait for a while."”
Lu Yu nodded and wrapped the Water Gall Amber tightly in his spare clothes and put it in his bag.
"That's all for the afternoon livestream. We'll be heading back first. If there's nothing else tonight, we'll continue the livestream ~"
After greeting the netizens in the livestream room, Lu Yu turned off the livestream and returned with Lee Zhengxiao.
Just as Lin Tiansu said, the dynasty's geological research institute contacted him very quickly.
She had just dismounted from her horse and entered the courtyard. Before she could take off her bags, she received a video call from the other side.
Lee Zhengxiao made a hand gesture to indicate that he was going out for a walk and left.
Lu Yu picked up the video call. On the other side was an old professor with gray hair. He looked to be over seventy years old.
Seeing that Lu Yu had picked up the phone, the old man was very surprised."Comrade Little Lu, hello, hello. I'm Wang Chen from the Empire's geological research institute!”
"This is my work certificate!”
As if afraid that Lu Yu would not believe his identity, the old man picked up his work pass from the side and deliberately turned on the camera to show Lu Yu.
"I've already heard Boss Lin mention it. Elder Wang, you don't have to do this.”
Lu Yu smiled.
He still respected the old scientist who was still sticking to the front line of scientific research in the Imperium.
"That's good, that's good. I've already heard about it from Comrade Xiao Lin. I won't beat around the bush with you. Can you let me see the details of that piece of Water Gall Amber?”
The old man didn't bother with formalities and went straight to the point.
"No problem."
Lu Yu nodded and took out the amber raw stone from his bag.
In order to prevent the phone's resolution from not being clear enough, Lu Yu even specially transferred one of the drones over to show the old man the clearest details.
Elder Wang was very focused. Other than asking Lu Yu to change his angle in the middle, he did not say anything else during the entire 40 minutes of observation.
After completely observing all angles, Elder Wang put down the pen in his hand, and his expression became very serious.
"Comrade Little Lu, combined with the location where you mined this piece of Water Bile Amber and the properties of this piece of Water Bile Amber, I can now be very sure that this is an amber raw stone from at least a million years ago. Moreover, it was before the Red Jade Ocean experienced the crustal-change.”
"The water contained in this piece of water amber is very likely the seawater of the Red Jade Ocean during that period!”
"I sincerely request that you sell this Water Gall Amber to us. If you can't, at least don't sell it to those foreign organizations.”
"Because if I have this piece of Water Bile Amber and study the composition of the substances inside, I might be able to fill in the gaps during that period and find the true reason why the Red Jade Sea disappeared!”
"The scientific value of it can't be measured by money!”
Elder Wang took a deep breath.
"Comrade Little Lu, let me give you a heads-up. With the budget of the Empire's Institute of Geolgy, we can at most offer 40 million to buy this piece of Water Bile Amber.”
"Can you…give it up?"
