Qin Chuan rarely returned to this quadrangle.

He spends most of his time at the institute immersed in his research. Qin Chuan is not smiling, unless he has made great progress in his work, he will grin, and the rest of the time he is indifferent, and his joy and anger are completely invisible. It seems that the people of Ran feel that this person is very deep.

Everyone in the research institute was a little afraid of Qin Chuan. It's not that Qin Chuan has a bad temper, it's just that when you look at him, you always vaguely feel that there is a deterrent in his eyes, which makes people feel like they are thorns in their backs. This feels like even General Luo is no exception. General Luo only had this feeling when he was summoned by the leader, and when he appeared on Qin Chuan, it felt incredible. General Luo deliberately looked into Qin Chuan's eyes more than once, hoping to find something in Qin Chuan's eyes in order to explain this unexplained sense of oppression. But apart from the tension in his heart, he didn't find anything else. In addition to smiling bitterly, General Luo also tried to minimize contact with this person.

Luo Sihai never knew the nature of General Luo's work, General Luo didn't say a word about his work at home, and Luo Sihai was also interested and didn't inquire about his uncle. In addition to going to school every day, he went to the Liuli Factory, and he could stay all day long. Because the family is a master of immersion in this way for generations, Luo Sihai naturally has a first-hand experience in antiques, within half a year, this still childish Luo Sihai has become famous in the circle, many stores like to let Luo Sihai from home to enjoy those treasures, which not only broadens Luo Sihai's knowledge, but also surprises Luo Sihai is that most of the shops in the glaze factory are the ancestral industry passed down from generation to generation, and most of the owners of these shops and the people who haunt these places have their own set of appreciation of antiques and the ability to distinguish authenticity. In the process of dealing with them, Luo Sihai benefited a lot.

This situation lasted until four years later, Luo Sihai was actually favored by Qin Chuan and was selected into the research institute, specializing in ancient books. After graduating from high school, Luo Sihai did not go to college, but spent all day wandering around the Liuli Factory, earning commissions for antique dealers. General Luo was very unhappy when he saw his nephew like this, and originally wanted to arrange for him to enter the army as a soldier, but Luo Sihai refused to go.

General Luo can't take Luo Sihai, who is mixed in the glaze factory all day long, this may be the fate of the family, it seems that every generation of the Luo family will have an antique fan, he thinks that he is not playing antiques, but Luo Sihai's father is like a life, but the turbulence of the times and the decline of the family, so that the family's collection can not increase, and finally Qin Chuan proposed to recruit Luo Sihai into the research institute, General Luo's eyes lit up, and he felt that his nephew might be able to do this job. Isn't he going to be with antiques? Okay, the antiquities studied in the institute are basically rare treasures, far from being comparable to those in the glaze factory.

In this way, Luo Sihai entered this research institute with only a number and no name. In it, he realized that he had also replaced his name with a number.

042 Institute.

Luo Sihai, a researcher in literature and history, No. 073.

Luo Sihai has a very large workload every day, but he is addicted. There's more to it than he could have imagined. Luo Sihai's daily work is to study some unique ancient books, in addition to determining the specific era and classification, he also has to search for some useful information from the books. The information Luo Sihai is looking for is just a noun: bamboo manlan.

Looking at the name, Luo Sihai felt that this bamboo orchid was a flower or plant, and Qin Chuan didn't give him any information about the bamboo orchid except for a note with these three words written on it. Meaning, apart from the name, there isn't anything specific about this thing.

And Luo Sihai's job is to be in the warehouse of about 1,000 square meters, which contains more than 20,000 volumes of ancient books. In addition, there are countless bamboo slips and silk books, etc., each of which is priceless. Luo Sihai remembered that when he stepped in, he couldn't close his chin for a long time with excitement.

These books have been collected by the 042 Institute in recent years. Most of the ancient books were excavated from various places. Qin Chuan introduced with a relaxed face, among which three hundred and thirty-six ancient tombs were secretly excavated, and a large number of unique books were collected from all over the people, etc., etc. The 042 Institute seems to be very evil, and he seems to be very clear about the position of the ancient dignitaries, so the 042 Institute is very quick to carry out the task. However, it is also conceivable that this excavation method can be directly regarded as destruction, and the excavated tombs will suffer serious damage.

Luo Sihai gradually discovered that the ancient books collected in the institute were clearly divided into two periods, one was the ancient books of the pre-Qin era. Most of these contents are recorded on bamboo slips and brocade silks. But the handwriting was very vague, and more importantly, there were some ancient characters that he didn't understand at all. These needed paleographers to assist in interpretation, and he was relieved that Qin Chuan had transferred another paleographer to assist him. The other part is concentrated in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period, at this time notebook novels were very popular, and most of the content of notebook novels is mainly foxes, ghosts and fairies, and the content is to seek immortals and visit the Tao.

After working in the research institute for a period of time, Luo Sihai found that there were many projects studied by the 042 Research Institute. From folk customs and strange people to historical relics, mythological backgrounds and the like, everything is included. And Luo Sihai slowly discovered that in fact, all the research actually points to the same project. Everyone in the institute is working on a common project, which is called "Project 001" by the 042 Institute

The main task of the "001" project is to study the contents of an ancient book. A researcher of Luo Sihai's level naturally couldn't get in touch with such a high-level secret, but judging from the content he usually came into contact with, the main thing he had to do was to find relevant records from the existing materials that could confirm the content of the ancient books. Even if it's a myth or a legend. When each entry reached him, he was always dizzy. Because of the vast majority of entries, he couldn't find the corresponding words from the vast pile of information. Over time, Luo Sihai began to feel bored with this work.
