Chapter 136 Problems
Although Zhao Weiji has not studied archaeology, he knew that these parchment papers that have been closed to the sky for many years may not be able to withstand the erosion of oxygen.
Fortunately, when he returned to the underground secret room to watch the books made of parchment, he was surprised to find that these books had been perfectly protected. As long as there was nothing unexpected happening during the transportation, it would be no problem to do it on the ground like this.
This made Zhao Weiji sigh at the greatness of his ancestors. Whether the people who used anti-corrosion to these books were originally from the Alexander Library, the people who obtained these books later, or King Kussie, those who did this were worth remembering by future generations.
Since moving was no longer a problem, Zhao Weiji began to make some moves and organize these books. For safety reasons, open flame lighting could no longer be used.
Since open flames cannot be used, lighting facilities such as torches and candlesticks cannot be used. However, luckily Zhao Weiji had invented kerosene lamps in Xinhua City long ago.
He also installed these kerosene lamps on the Black Pearl, and when he changed the ship and entered the Persian Gulf, he moved some portable styles into the new ship.
Several of these kerosene lamps that entered the new ship were brought by their side when they set out for Baghdad. It was this series of coincidences that Zhao Weiji now has relatively safe lighting tools.
When he took out the kerosene lamp, he himself sighed that maybe it was God's will that allowed him to find these books.
Since there was no hidden danger in the entire transport operation, Zhao Weiji and his group began to transport books in the next three days after discovering the secret room.
However, since they couldn't understand the text above, they could only move it out, find an empty room, store it carefully, and wait for the reply from the people in the Smart Museum.
During these three days, Old Man Kendi was also trapped in a huge whirlpool. When he reported the news of his discovery of these books to the director of the Wisdom Museum, it naturally caused a sensation in the entire Wisdom Museum.
However, it also caused the people in the Smart Museum to split. Some people hoped to agree to the conditions proposed by Zhao Weiji, which was nothing more than a temporary stay away from their hometown for a few years. Since Zhao Weiji and others could come safely from such a distant place, they could naturally ensure the safety of the people who went to Xinhua City, so it is not a harsh condition to go there to translate.
Besides, many of them left their hometowns and came to Baghdad to enter the Smart Museum, so at worst they could just run farther.
But since there are those who agree, there are naturally some oppositions. In addition to being full of distrust of Xinhua City, which is even farther away than Tang.
They also insisted on the view that although our Arab Empire also protected private property, it was only for the inhabitants of the Arab Empire.
These people are clearly outsiders, although they don’t know what methods they have used to get the house deed and land deeds for that house.
However, outsiders are outsiders and should not be equivalent to residents of the empire. Therefore, if those outsiders are unwilling to hand over the books, the empire should be sent to send troops to snatch them directly.
Although this view is cruel, it has won the approval of more people, so the pressure on Mr. Kendi becomes huge.
From his heart, he prefers the first method. After all, if it weren't for the appearance of Zhao Weiji and others, no one would have discovered where the secret room was.
Because even if you enter the secret room, you will ignore the possible existence of treasures on the first floor because of the large amount of treasures on the first floor. In this way, the treasures can be seen again, but books may always be a secret, because those who find the treasures may not care about what is written on the parchment paper, nor can they understand what is.
Therefore, the re-seeking of books by Zhao Weiji and his group has made great contributions, and now they do not want to monopolize these books. As long as the Wisdom Museum supports translation, they can not only obtain books, but also receive remuneration.
It can be said that Zhao Weiji has given great sincerity. Although Mr. Kendi is very confident that it is difficult for others to translate these books accurately except for the people in the Smart Museum. However, the world is so big, who can explain this clearly?
However, although he thought so, more people now want to use unfriendly means to force this collection of books, and many of these people are the old people's best friends, which makes Old Kendy very embarrassed.
Fortunately, the current attitude of the director of the Wisdom Pavilion is to support the peaceful resolution of this matter, which made the old man Kendi feel a little comforted.
So on the third day after Mr. Kendy reported the matter, he came to the director's office again. He was preparing to have a good talk with the director and give a solution as soon as possible.
When the old man came to the director's office, the director was looking at something. After he saw that the old man Kendy had arrived, he put down what he had in his hand and asked the old man to sit down.
The old man was about to speak after sitting down, but the director interrupted his speech.
"Kendy, I know what you want to say. Am I worried too? From my heart, I tend to agree to the conditions of that oriental man.
As you said, if it weren't for the appearance of these Orientals, we might never have found those books.
But now that the public is angry, more people hope that we will forcefully leave that batch of books here directly through the power of the country. Is there any way to convince them?"
The director's words were equivalent to kicking the most difficult ball back to affirm. If he knew how to convince the group of people, he would not have to worry.
However, at this time, the old man Kendi suddenly remembered a detail, that is, when he followed Zhao Weiji and his party into the secret room, he saw a corpse in the aisle of the secret room. The corpse had not died for long, and the way of death was very strange.
There was a hole in the chest of the corpse, which should be the cause of the death of the man, but Old Kendy did not understand what weapon the hole was caused by.
At this time, the old man remembered another thing, that is, the legend of the devil ship that was wearing the wind and rain all over the city before.
According to legend, people on the Devil Ship can have a kind of magic. When they use this magic to kill people, they will only hear a strange sound. Then a hole will appear on the body of the person who is involved in the magic, and blood will bleed out of the hole. Then the person will fall down, not knowing how he was hit.
Although these scholars have also heard of this legend, whether it is the surname Li led by faith or knowledge, they regard this story as a joke.
But now after the old man linked the two things, he was surprised to find that the story might be true and not a joke.
If that is true, then these Oriental people may be people who came down from the devil's ship, and the so-called magic now seems to be a more advanced weapon, and that weapon may be the strange-shaped thing behind Zhao Weiji and his group that the old man saw.
After all this was unified, the old man came to a conclusion that force might not threaten this group of people.
So he told all his reasoning to the director, and the director was sweating coldly after hearing it.
Because the director also thought of something even more terrifying from this, that is, the Tang (Song) Empire behind Zhao Weiji. From the affirmation of the previous acceptance of the curator, Zhao Weiji seemed to be a king of the Tang (Song) world.
If something happened to such a king in Baghdad, what would the empire behind him be like? Will he send troops to attack and avenge him? Although the Arabs defeated the Tang people more than two hundred years ago in the Battle of Henglus, the Arab Empire had more troops at that time.
Moreover, the Tang people at that time did not have such super weapon that could kill people invisibly. Today, the Tang people have such super weapon. If they launch an invasion, it is still a question whether the soldiers of the Arab Empire can block it.
After such an idea arose, the director became more determined to resolve the matter peacefully.
So he summoned all the senior executives of the Wisdom Pavilion and told them to these senior executives after a little transformation of Kendi's reasoning. Most of these senior executives originally wanted to solve the problem by force, but after listening to the director's words, they were all shaken. Because no one could bear the crime of causing war, and if such a super weapon really existed, the Arab Empire would face a huge disaster.
Zhao Weiji probably wouldn't have thought that the corpse of the pirate who almost killed him in the end was the one who helped him, but he would never know all of this.
Because when the Smart Museum unanimously rejected the method of using force to leave books, it is naturally necessary to completely conceal this matter, because once Zhao Weiji knew that they had the idea of leaving books through force, he didn't know if it would cause any trouble.
However, since the means of solving the problem by force have been denied, it is naturally necessary to agree to Zhao Weiji's request, and selecting translation talents across the ocean has become a new problem.
How many languages are needed to translate and who are willing to go, all of this troubles the director.
However, what the director did not expect was that the translation talents had not found many willing people to go, but many technical talents emerged to hope to join the team to Xinhua City, which made the director feel very strange.
"Why do you all want to go there? You can't translate."
These people gave various explanations when answering the curator's question, but these explanations have one thing in common, that is, Xinhua City may have a lot of advanced knowledge that the Arab Empire does not have.
In this way, the director had to pay more attention to Zhao Weiji and his group, and at this time he suddenly wanted to meet this person.
