In a living room in the Holy City Library, Sean finally met Xia Guoren.

The Xia people have black hair and yellow skin, and their appearance is soft, their clothes are wide and elegant, and their patterns have a great influence on Europa's clothing, especially women's clothing.

But Xia Guoren's first sentence surprised Sean and abruptly:

"President Palmer, my name is Zhao Ran, President of Kyoto University in Daxia, Zhao is my surname, you can call me Zhao directly. ”

The old curator, Mr. Palmer, who should be called the president of the Holy City University, ignored Sean's shocked eyes, he stretched out his right hand and shook it with the guest, which is said to be the etiquette when the people of Xia Guo meet, to show friendship.

If you add a slight bow, it means respect.

"Principal Zhao, welcome, you look very young, which makes me feel ashamed. Principal Palmer said.

"No, no, in fact I traveled to your country for many years when I was 20 years old, and I heard of your name at that time. An article about the zodiac signs of yours from that year is still admirable to read. If you ask who is the foreigner who knows the most about our culture, it must be Your Excellency, especially since this is just one of your achievements in the academic field. ”

Principal Zhao is very modest, his Europa is extremely standard and proficient, and he has an authentic Holy City accent.

"I just did something insignificant, I wonder if Principal Zhao came to the door in person this time, do you have any advice?" Palmer asked.

"I just want to ask Mr. Chancellor, how to interpret a newly discovered word in the archaeology of our country? This is the first time in the last ten years that a new sacred character has been discovered. Principal Zhao asked.

"What word?" asked Palmer, a little excited.

According to Sean's current understanding, when the gods sent down the oracle, only some fragments are left, which have been carved by the ancestors on various natural materials, such as stone walls, animal bones, tortoise shells and even hardwood. These fragments, collectively known as the Bible, are a variety of distinct symbols or words, which later generations believe to be the written word of God, and are found all over the world, with the Xia Kingdom being the most found.

Based on these symbols or words, countries around the world imitated and gave birth to their own scripts.

This gives a sacred meaning to these so-called Bibles, and although the wisest scholars of mankind have denied the existence of God, they have not been able to explain the origin of these Bibles.

For example, according to the words "nitrate", "sulfur" and "charcoal", countless people interpret it, and finally in an accidental low-probability event, the Xia people invented gunpowder.

However, they lost the correct pronunciation of these words forever and created another writing system mixed with so-called sacred words because too few of them were found.

However, because of this, their civilization developed earlier than the western continent.

Principal Zhao wrote the word "tea" on the paper. He used a pencil.

Principal Palmer had also traveled to the Great Xia Kingdom in his early years, and he had an unimaginable obsession with the Xia Kingdom's writing, and he was very researched, which made him famous in the Xia Kingdom.

But he was a chemist himself.

"This should be a plant, the top means grass, the bottom is a house of the meaning of the word, and the lower part can be taken apart, which means that people pick the leaves of woody plants, does it mean a kind of herb?"

Principal Palmer pondered for a moment before replying.

Sean was next to him, looking at him and wanting to laugh, but he couldn't. A civilization that has passed away can never be recovered.

"President Palmer, our scholars interpret it the same way. It's just that now we can't figure out this plant, which should be edible and can be eaten. Principal Zhao said.

"Can't you soak in water and drink?" said Sean suddenly.

"Soak in water and drink?" Principal Zhao's eyes lit up, "It's not impossible. In our Xia traditional medicine, there are a lot of plant leaves used to decoction of medicinal soup, but I have never seen it with leaves soaked in water for daily drinking. In addition, in the oral history of our country, it is said that people drank a drink made from plant leaves, which probably refers to this 'tea'. ”

"Sean, do you also know anything about the Xia script?" asked Principal Palmer.

"Mr. Headmaster, I just suddenly had some inspiration. Sean replied.

"Oh, and that's why wine is sour, too?" asked Principal Palmer.

"Yes. A flash of inspiration. Sean said. Principal Zhao asked, "What do you call this young man, is he a student of Mr. Palmer?"

"This is Sean Connery, and he'd like to have a student like him, but unfortunately not. Principal Palmer replied.

"Sean Connery?" said Principal Zhao suddenly and loudly, "I read in your country's newspaper about a young man who has been getting a lot of attention lately. Unfortunately, I don't know much about microbiology, but I thought I should send this latest information back to Japan. The wine industry is also an important industry in our country. ”

"But it's also controversial. "Sean, you need to prove your point openly, and I'm looking forward to that." Did you receive my invitation? I heard you declined?"

"Mr. Principal, I don't really understand science. Sean replied truthfully.

But Palmer apparently disagrees: "But the principle of science is to make bold assumptions and carefully verify them, and the person who can say this is by no means a person who does not understand science." Sean, what are you afraid of?"

"No, Mr. Headmaster, I'm already preparing the facts, and you'll understand by then. "Sean sold it off.

"Well, I guess the newspapers won't look good in the past two days, so you have to be prepared. You know, academics tend to be very simple, pure for and pure against. If you can prove your point, they will unconditionally change their preconceptions. Palmer said.

And that's why science has progressed. Sean said.

Principal Zhao saw that the two were chatting happily, and his intention had been reached, so he said goodbye and left. Sean accompanies Principal Palmer to the door of the library, and then turns back to Campbell's statue.

Principal Palmer had a feeling:

"I heard that there will be a few more statues here in the future, but I don't know who will be so lucky to stand side by side with the sages. ”
