After Lu Ao finished speaking, he left.

Hou Mingzhi looked at his back and shook his head.

This young man has a lot of energy. I am afraid that within a few days, leaders will put pressure on him and persuade him to compromise.

Hou Mingzhi took a sip of tea and decided to resist. He would retire soon and was not afraid of affecting his career.

Thinking of this, Hou Mingzhi squinted his eyes.

Lu Ao left the gate of the Fisheries Bureau and did not go home. Instead, he drove to find Huang Ningna.

Huang Ningna has classes today and has already flown back to the capital to attend classes. He is the only one with a few students in the institute.

Seeing Lu Ao, several of his students hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Lu, why are you here?"

"I want to borrow some materials from your professor." Lu Ao asked, "When will he come back?"

"Professor, he has classes these two days and may not be back until the day after tomorrow."

Huang Ningna himself has a teaching job, so he can come here to study corals, but he has to rely on connections to ask people from the Academic Affairs Office to concentrate his weekly classes on three days, and come here to work on the remaining four days without any delay on either side.

Unfortunately for Lu Ao, he happened to catch up with the time when he had class.

The student knew Lu Ao well and asked, "Brother Lu, what do you want from the professor? Why don't we ask for you?"

Lu Ao nodded, "Sorry, I would like to borrow some materials from your professor. Is it convenient?"

The student standing behind immediately said: "Brother Xiao Lu, what materials do you want to borrow? We have a lot of materials here, let me help you find them."

"Yes, the professor does not prohibit us from borrowing materials from outside. Except for those data that need to be kept confidential, you can basically read all the materials stored in the institute."

"Our information is basically stored in these two cabinets. Brother Lu, would you like to see what information we need?"

Lu Ao did not expect that the trip would go so smoothly. He was not polite to the students and said directly: "I need some information on the Qianming Sea area, preferably in the past two years. If there is information on the sea area in Yandong County, then

That’s even better.”

The students said: "There may be less information over there. Our main activity location is not over there, and we rarely go there. We have a lot of information about Qianming and other places. Brother Lu, please go first."

have a look."

Lu Ao was not too surprised, nor was he disappointed when he heard this. He nodded, "Then let me take a look at the existing information you have here first."

One of the female students looked at his expression and asked tentatively: "Brother Xiao Lu, have you read the Internet? How about we look for information on the Internet for you? Several relatively obscure thesis websites may include relevant information.

paper."

Lu Ao said: "I have already looked at CNKI, but I haven't looked at other paper websites. I haven't found any particularly useful information by searching the entire Internet. Yandong County is not a famous sea area, and there is basically no relevant research data on the Internet.

That’s why I thought of coming here to try my luck.”

The girl opened her mouth slightly, showing a regretful expression, feeling a little sad for him.

Lu Ao smiled reassuringly at her. He was mentally prepared. This place was too remote. It was normal that he could not find relevant information online.

The girl felt a little sorry, thought for a while and said, "We have a senior brother who is also studying the sea area here. He wants to write a doctoral thesis. I don't know if he has involved your sea area. Generally speaking, the doctoral thesis will

It’s relatively comprehensive and shouldn’t miss your part.”

Lu Ao immediately said: "Then please help me ask. I need to make a report to convince the people of the Fisheries Bureau, and it will not be used for commercial purposes. If the data is useful to me, I will pay for it and mark the author, and will also mark the author before using it.

Consult the other party’s opinion first.”

"Okay, Brother Xiao Lu, wait a minute, sit down for a while, and I'll ask you questions."

There was news from the girls, and other people also volunteered to ask various senior brothers and teachers to help Lu Ao collect information.

Huang Ningna's group of students are basically the top students in the field of marine research in China.

The projects they themselves are involved in have little to do with Lu Ao's ocean ranch, but the combined network of various senior brothers, junior sisters, mentors and friends is quite large.

The six or seven students present were basically able to connect professors and scholars in the entire field of Chinese marine research. In less than one morning, Lu Ao obtained seven large volumes of information.

Lu Ao specially invited them to eat out at noon to thank them for their enthusiastic help.

Huang Ningna saw Lu Ao's message after class at noon, and called him specifically to ask him what was going on, "Or does your ocean ranch need information?"

"It's almost the same, but this time it's not that we encountered technical difficulties during the construction of the marine ranch, but that we have to convince the Fisheries Bureau to approve the construction of this marine ranch."

Lu Ao told him the situation.

Huang Ningna listened carefully and said: "I don't study marine ranching myself, but I have several friends who have done research in this area. Wait a minute, I will ask first, and I will send you some information in the afternoon.

Take it and see if you can refer to it."

"Okay, thank you then."

"Why are you being polite to me? When your marine ranch is built, maybe we will want to visit your place and collect some of your information."

"No problem, as long as it doesn't involve confidentiality, I can share any information you want."

When Lu Ao returned home in the afternoon, he not only held six or seven thick volumes of information in his hands, including handwritten notes by various students and scholars, various cut-out journal articles, professional papers and books, but also in his bag

There are several USB flash drives, which also contain various information about marine ranches. They are all marine information that Huang Ningna, his students and friends have painstakingly collected.

When Song Zhou came to pick him up, he was surprised to see him like this. He took the materials and looked at them, "Why do you have so many materials in your hand? These are all given to you by students?"

"Yes, originally they wanted to give more, but then I flipped through it and found that I really couldn't read it, so I decided to finish reading this first."

When Lu Ao said this, there was a smile on his face. It felt so good to receive someone's loving help.

Song Zhou took him home and said, "It's not like the director of the Fisheries Bureau didn't give you the approval. After you looked at the construction information of the marine ranch, you couldn't get the project off the ground for a while."

Lu Ao's face showed a bit of mystery, "No, this is not information used to build a marine ranch."

Song Zhou looked through the information in his hand strangely. These were obviously information on marine research.

He asked: "If these are not used to build marine ranches, what will they be used for?"

Lu Ao said with great confidence: "I plan to write a paper!"

Songzhou: "Huh?"

Lu Ao himself graduated with a bachelor's degree. He was not a top-notch person when he was studying. In addition, his parents had passed away at that time, and he was all alone at home and abroad. He didn't have much money to study, so he came out after graduating from a bachelor's degree.

Opened a supermarket.

The term paper seemed to have nothing to do with him, and Song Zhou had no idea why he was writing a paper.

Lu Ao put down the information in his hand, sat on a deck chair in the yard, and said: "Didn't I go to talk to Director Hou today? He is very optimistic about our project. He feels that there are many problems in Ocean Ranch that have not been solved, and it is easy to stay.

If it causes trouble in the future, it will not be approved."

Lu Ao had already told Song Zhou about this on WeChat in the morning.

Song Zhou patted his leg to express comfort, "What should I do now? I'll go say hello to the relevant people?"

"No need." Lu Ao waved his hands, with an unconvinced light in his eyes, and leaned forward slightly and said: "Didn't he question academic issues? Then I will answer with an academic article. I plan to write a paper to summarize his

All the questions were answered clearly and he was convinced."

Song Zhou didn't expect that he wanted to take this route, looked at him and asked: "If the paper is finished, then the director is still not convinced?"

"If you are not convinced, then think of other ways. When I finish writing the paper, if it can be published, and after getting support from experts, it will be unreasonable for Hou Mingzhi to delay the approval any longer." Lu Ao said, "I think

He is not an unreasonable person."

For a reasonable person, Lu Ao is quite willing to be reasonable.

Seeing that he was eager to try, Song Zhou didn't dampen his confidence. He just rubbed his hair and said with a smile: "Then try it first. If you have any trouble, tell me and I'll see if I can help.

."

"There shouldn't be any trouble." Lu Ao said: "I'll read these materials first. It just so happens that my theoretical foundation is not very solid. Building a marine ranch is indeed a bit unconvincing. After I finish reading these papers and materials, the knowledge

If we build on a solid foundation, we can avoid detours."

Lu Ao kept his word. From that day on, he didn't go out much. Even the goose in the morning was sent out by Song Zhou for Pang Dun to do some activities.

The dog son, Pang Dun, had not enjoyed it for a few days before he started working first.

Lu Ao was focused on studying hard behind closed doors at home.

Reading is not an easy task, and you also have to write a paper.

In just a few days, Lu Ao lost weight again. Song Zhou persuaded him once, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to find a way to bring back various foods and supplements for him to eat.

Huang Tian paid off his hard work, and Lu Ao's hard work was not in vain. He worked hard for about a week and finally wrote the first draft of the paper.

The first draft of his thesis was very rough and a bit out of shape.

After writing it out, he did not rush to take it to Director Hou, but gave it to Huang Ningna to read first.

As one of the professors at the top universities in China, Huang Ningna saw the problem after just one glance at his paper, pointed out several logical loopholes, and provided him with additional information and guided him to read certain books.

Lu Ao was not afraid of hard work. After getting Huang Ningna's new book list, he went back to his study to study hard. This time he perfected the loopholes in the original framework. It only took three days for the second draft of his paper to be published.

Huang Ningna felt incredible when he got his paper. He looked at the paper, looked up at Lu Ao, and said with emotion: "If I hadn't gotten to know you well and knew that you were not a student majoring in marine science, it would be hard for me to imagine this.

This paper was not written by a doctorate or master's degree in marine-related majors."

"It's not that great. The fish I fished for so long last year was not in vain. In addition, there are so many books and materials for reference. It's not surprising that I wrote this paper while standing on the shoulders of giants. Huang

Professor, can you help me see how this paper is doing? Do you want to continue improving it?"

"I haven't seen anything that needs to be improved yet. I think this paper is already very good. At least it can answer the questions raised by the director of your Fisheries Bureau." Huang Ningna said, "At the same time, it is also a very novel paper.

Looking at marine ranching from a practitioner's perspective rather than a scholar's perspective is unique. There are still no relevant papers in China. If you are interested, I can introduce journals for you to publish."

"Please, I'm willing to try."

"Then I'll show your paper to my friend first. He happens to be the editor-in-chief of a journal in Shannan Province. It's probably at the provincial level. National-level papers are more difficult to publish and the review cycle is longer. Yours is still not good.

If it is at the provincial level, it will basically be fine. Think about it first. If you want to submit it to a national publication, we can also try to submit it to a national publication."

"Provincial-level ones are fine. I don't rely on papers to make a living."

"I will package your paper and send it to my friends now." Huang Ningna said: "Isn't it going to be the 25th soon? Their journal is bimonthly. If it is possible, I will see if I can ask you.

He will help you join the queue and it will be distributed in January."
