Inside the box were books, all of them, magazines arranged in one piece. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The covers of these magazines, with their bright yellow borders and laurel patterns, are remarkably well preserved and arranged according to the period of publication.

Li Du also knows the names of these magazines without reading the titles, National Geographic, a set of magazines with the largest circulation and the largest reputation in the United States and even the world.

The magazine that Little Flying Worm entered in this box belongs to the year 2000, with headlines such as "Shadows Are Hard to Find: Rare Images Uncover the Mystery of the Snow Leopard" and "Island Paradise: Exploring Europe's Eden on the Sea".

Walking through the books, there are other annual magazines in the box, 2001, 2002, 2003 and some from 2004.

National Geographic is a set of high-quality magazines, which are rich in content and precious in influencing materials, and Li Du has been reading them, and reading this kind of magazine can enrich people's horizons.

The magazines he had been reading recently had been miscellaneous in terms of specific years, all of which had been obtained from the warehouse and were of little value, so he kept them for himself to read.

Unlike the magazines he had gotten in the past, the magazines in this warehouse were more valuable because they were serial issues with closely connected serial numbers, and someone would be willing to collect them.

Li Du controlled the little flying insect to fly out, there was no young man who stole the basketball in this warehouse, and he was ready to take the little flying insect away.

However, when the insect flew in the air, he found that there were many cardboard boxes in the warehouse, all of which were carefully and tightly wrapped with tape.

Thinking of the magazine he had seen earlier, his heart moved, and he arranged for the little flying insect to fly into other boxes and read it.

It's still the yellow border with the laurel pattern on the cover, and the magazines are still National Geographic, and the issue numbers are still tightly connected, and this box contains magazines from the five years of 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999.

A lot of books!

In the other boxes is National Geographic, all of which are of this kind of magazine, counting from the last few years, more than 20 boxes, covering more than 100 years of history!

The little flying insect shuttled through these boxes, Li Du felt that he was watching a historical documentary, he found the magazine of the 80s of the last century, found the 60s of the last century, and before that, there were the 50s, 40s, and 30s......

Eventually, he found a small magazine wrapped in plastic wrap, and unlike the beautiful yellow borders on the front, the book had a pink cover with the number in the upper right corner: 1888.10.

Li Du, who is familiar with National Geographic magazine, looked at this thin booklet in surprise, if he is not mistaken, this is the inaugural issue of National Geographic magazine!

The little flying insect flew to the back of the magazine, with a faint trace of pen signatures on it, and a series of names lined up on it: John Wesley Powell, Adolphus W. Grayleigh......

Li Du is not familiar with these names, and modern people are not familiar with these names, but he searched on the Internet and his mobile phone, and only then did he know how famous these people were in their time!

John Wesley Powell was the first to explore the Grand Canyon and was a well-known wetland and water explorer in the United States at the time, and Adolphus W. Greeley was the first to explore the polar regions, known as the 'Ice Warrior'......

These people also have another identity, the founder of National Geographic magazine, one of the first members of the 'Universe Club'.

In this pink pamphlet, the first article is titled "Classification of Geographical Structures According to Genesis" and is signed by W. J. McSakie.

Unlike later magazines, the inaugural issue did not contain a single photo, it was full of text and data, and the printing was simple, but the analysis was rigorous.

For more than a decade after National Geographic's founding, none of the magazines it produced had images, because in the academic world of the time, photos meant superficiality.

It wasn't until 1905 that Grosvenor, then president of the magazine, risked being fired and inserted 11 photographs of Russian explorers in Lhasa, Tibet, in the current issue of National Geographic.

In the same box as the inaugural issue of the magazine, Li Du found this magazine, which showed a photo of the city of Lhasa in black and white.

Browsing through these magazines, Li Du took a deep breath.

He took back the little flying worm and stared at the warehouse, a little excited in his heart.

To be honest, he wanted to get these magazines, they were too precious, but that wasn't the reason he wanted them, and if he could get them, he wouldn't sell them.

National Geographic is more of an encyclopedia than a magazine, a collection of the world's best adventurers, scientists, and photographers for over a century.

This set of magazines is not a simple introduction to the scenery, the introduction of customs, but also connects ordinary people and all things on the earth, the peaks of the deep sea, the stars of the universe, for people who love nature and life, this set of magazines is a book of God!

In particular, only 200 copies of the inaugural issue were printed in October 1888, and they were not sold, but all the founders signed their names and solemnly mailed them to those who supported their cause at the time.

More than 120 years have passed, and this inaugural issue has become extremely rare, and when Li Du checked it on the Internet, only two copies were still kept at the headquarters of the "Universe Club" in Washington.

In addition, a copy appeared on the Internet and was auctioned on E-bay for $400,000.

Eventually the book was found to be not the original, but a later reprint.

Even so, the book eventually sold for a whopping 50,000 yuan, and reprints of the inaugural issue were rare.

Li Du did not know who these magazines belonged to, but it could be judged that its owners did not value it.

The boxes were haphazardly stacked in the warehouse, the surface of the boxes was covered with dust, and some of the boxes had been bitten by insects and rats, and the magazines had been damaged.

He thought about it for a moment, and guessed that the owner of the warehouse should not know the value of the magazines inside, and maybe he could buy all the contents in his hands.

Seeing him standing still, Hans asked, "What's wrong with you?

Li Du came back to his senses, and then raised his middle finger at him: "Vake, you just got sick, go, continue to look for that bastard, he must be in these houses." ”

He walked down the street, sniffling as he passed a small garden, and suddenly screamed excitedly.

Li Du released the little flying insect into the house where the garden belonged, and there was no one in it, but when the little flying insect flew out, he saw a person in the kennel in the garden......
