“…… Little kitten, behave! As the saying goes, 'Tie the chain to the Wang Xingren and put a bell on the cat', let me hang the bell for you! ”

“…… Meow! Don't use someone's tail as a toy! ”

“…… Senior Sister Ma Tong, I've already held her down, you are moving faster! ”

“…… Awesome! Rongrong, let's play together! Well, what kind of collar should I put on her? ”

“…… Meow - let this blasphemous sinner be punished! ”

“…… Wow, it hurts! Even the cat's paws stretched out! The unbehaving kitten has to cut its nails! ”

“…… Meow! You really want to die! ”

“…… By the way, let's give her a bath! Bathing cats is fun! ”

In a certain magnificent palace, on the soft Persian carpet, Queen Cleopatra, who had accidentally become a cat lady again, was pressed on the carpet by Cai Rong and Ma Tong on all fours because her divine power had not yet been fully mastered. Genki Lori Cai Rong played with her cat ears with interest and scratched her silky hair, while Senior Sister Ma Tong stroked her cat tail and tried to tie a bell with a bow to her tail.

The poor cat-eared lady queen was teased and rolled around, waving her little paws helplessly, her big shining eyes filled with wet mist.

Alas, if her subjects saw the cuteness of this "incarnation of the cat god Buster" at this moment, they must have a feeling of broken faith!

- Anyway, no matter what. Thanks to Queen Cleopatra's "Cat Lady Transformation" at the temple's opening ceremony, the citizens of Alexandria all joyfully accepted the Egyptian cat god Bastet as their new patron saint.

In ancient times in the West shijie, usually every country. Every city has its own patron saints, and the birth of these patron saints is all related to faith - in that era of barbarism when the productive forces were underdeveloped, people were threatened by natural disasters, wars, epidemics and beasts, and they always felt that this shijie was in danger, and they longed for a god in their hearts to protect them from the disaster. Thus, the concept of a patron saint was born. Then. This vague concept gradually took on a specific image and name, and then temples and priests appeared, collecting the power of worship and faith for it. The result was the rudiments of religion: it was also an important tool for ancient kings to control public opinion and maintain their rule.

-- Gaining the approval of the cat god Bastet, and then undoubtedly taking over the entire church organization of the cat god Bastet, means that Queen Cleopatra has achieved a very important step in the disintegration and exploitation of the Egyptian priestly group.

Compare it to. A little bit of selling cuteness, selling meat, and other trivial things. It seems to be insignificant.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Meanwhile, in another corner of the spacious hall, Wang Qiu and Sonia were standing by a rumbling photocopier, putting rolls of papyrus and parchment into them, then adjusting the zoom and copying them onto sheets of A3 or A4 paper.

A mobile emergency power supply, capable of maintaining a two-hour power consumption, is powering the copier.

At his feet, papyrus and parchment scrolls of all kinds were almost piled up into a small mountain—treasures of the Library of Alexandria.

Library of Alexandria of the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. It is a great intellectual treasure of the ancient Western shijie, with a collection of more than 500,000 volumes in its heyday. Although the recent Egyptian flow years have been unfavorable. The entire library was burned to the ground in the war, but there were still about 50,000 volumes pieced together from the various fragments that had been turned out between the ruins...... So, Wang Qiu brought a photocopier, ready to copy the 50,000 ancient books, and then leave the copies, and bring the originals back to modern Shijie, presumably those experts who study ancient Egypt and ancient Greek civilization should like it very much.

Then, he was deeply struck by the scientific and technological level of the top scholars of ancient Greece, which was far ahead of his time.

"...... Geometry Original? This thing is all over the place in modern shijie, but let's make a copy! ”

“…… This is...... Archimedes' manuscript on buoyancy? Shrink to 50%! It's a pity that he didn't find any blueprints of his mechanical weapons. ”

“…… Caesar's Gallic Wars? This is good, I have long wanted to see how the real ending of this unfinished masterpiece is written (the ending of "Gallic Wars" has long been lost, and the modern version is all unfinished)...... Belch? How is there only the first volume? Could it be that the rest of the world was burned? ”

“…… Gears, saw blades, handles...... This picture looks a lot like a clock! But how can it be said to be a nautical astronomical instrument? ”

“…… Oh my God, what do I see?! Steam engine!!! Weishenme The Greeks had this thing, but they still failed to start the industrial revolution? ”

Although some of the manuscripts are surprising, ancient Greece was originally a golden age of science with extremely advanced natural sciences. Alexander the Great's great expedition to the East, like the later Mongol expedition to the west, objectively further promoted the economic and cultural exchanges between the East and the West, and also greatly broadened the horizons of ancient Greek scholars. Shortly after his death, Ptolemy I, who was an apprentice of Aristotle like the Great, built the Library of Alexandria in Egypt, claiming to "collect all the books of Shijie" and realize the dream of "Shijie Knowledge".

After hundreds of years of painstaking management, the Library of Alexandria has condensed the wisdom of countless peoples in ancient Greece, the Two Rivers, Egypt and other places. It was not only a vast library, but also a research institution and an educational institution, or rather the highest institution of learning in the Hellenistic Shijie, which at one time achieved many significant scientific achievements and produced many outstanding figures who have gone down in history: Euclid the mathematician who wrote the Geometry Primites, Eratostna who measured the diameter of the earth, Archimedes who studied the law of buoyancy (he was a Sicilian but had studied in Alexandria for a long time), and Hero, who designed the first steam engine in history, and so on. These people were all shining stars who blazed the trail of science, and led to an era of scientific progress in the West shining with knowledge and invention -- such a grand occasion. It didn't appear again before the 16th century AD,

It's just a pity that this boom didn't last long. Because the scholars of ancient Greece, like the Confucian scholars of ancient China, despised productive labor and lacked interest in material and practical things, neither telescopes nor looms nor chemistry were born during this brief period of scientific prosperity. Although Hero invented the steam engine, he only treated it as a toy. It is neither installed on a water pump, nor is it installed on a ship for power or other practical purposes. Aside from the field of medicine and land mapping, there were very few practical uses for science in ancient Greece.

Due to the lack of real benefits to push. When people's curiosity and reverence for knowledge fade away, there is little incentive to move scientific research forward. The scientific research done by Greek scholars in Alexandria was merely recorded in manuscripts and then shelved into obscurity. Until the Renaissance science was revived again. It is only then that these achievements have regained attention.

Even the library of Alexandria did not improve even the production of books itself - paper was invented in China and was not introduced to the West until the 9th century AD. Prior to this, in the ancient West, people could only make scrolls out of parchment and papyrus, and then connect them side by side to make scrolls. Not to mention the bulky and expensive size of such scrolls (parchment is not cheap, papyrus is also expensive, at least more expensive than ordinary paper), since parchment and papyrus are both rolled by volume. It is also extremely inconvenient to read, especially not easy to find and store.

Moreover, these factors also hindered the further development of printing jishu, which was known to mankind as early as the Stone Age. The roller seals used by the ancient Sumerians on clay tablets are a testament to this. However, without cheap and abundant paper, printing books would not be profitable.

Therefore, although there are a large number of manuscript books stored in the Library of Alexandria, which embody the wisdom and painstaking efforts of countless ancient sages and scholars, the price of each book is very high, and at the same time, it is not allowed to be easily borrowed, and it is far from making knowledge accessible to the general public.

In this way, even in the most glorious period of ancient Greek science, this knowledge could only reach a very small circle of intellectuals, like a faint lamp flickering in the darkness, illuminating an extremely limited place.

Although the place where the light can shine seems to be dazzling, beyond the light, there is still a dark and ignorant shijie.

The people of this era are still living as before, and they have no idea what the seeds of science that can completely change Shijie are. And not like the industrial revolution of the future, which soon turned the whole shijie upside down......

So, looking at these truths and inventions sealed on the pile of old papers, Wang Qiu couldn't help but marvel at the whimsy and insight of the ancients on the one hand, and regret the fact that Western civilization could not achieve a great explosion in BC, but once again fell into the dark Middle Ages......

――――――――――――――――――――――

Fifty thousand volumes sounds like a lot, but when copied and bound on modern paper, it is just enough to fill two large bookcases, not to mention the fact that many of the manuscripts are repetitive...... After Wang Qiu finished copying these books, he was stunned to find that if only the number of pages and words was counted, the content of the 50,000 volumes in the Library of Alexandria was not as large as the books in the libraries of some state-owned enterprises.

On the other hand, after some fighting, Cai Rong and Ma Tong finally finished dressing up Queen Cleopatra, and proudly brought her out to show Wang Qiu, "...... Boom! Look! This cat-eared lady I dressed up with my own hands is beautiful! Come on, sell a cute! ”

“…… Meow—"

The cat lady queen, who has been played with as a pet for a long time, screamed softly, reluctantly raised her front paws, shook her tail, and made the bell make a crisp sound of "jingle bell", and then stuck to Cai Rong's side like a coquette, licking her face with her delicate tongue, so that this playful Lori couldn't help but giggle.

…… This...... really treated the Queen of Egypt as a toy, and she couldn't bear it...... Wang Qiu couldn't help but show a hint of pity in his eyes.

“…… Ahem, well, this one looks good. However, classmate Cai Rong, can you stop playing for now, I have something to tell you......" He scratched his hair and said to Cai Rong, "...... I heard my sister and Professor Yang say that when you were in the first year of high school in Japan, because of an electric shock accident, you awakened the space travel ability at the moment of life and death, and then my sister found and adopted it in a Japanese hospital, right? ”

“…… Yes, it was when school started last spring, and my parents were both working in the branch office in Tokyo at that time, so they brought me over, who knew that such a wonderful thing would happen......" Cai Rong blinked, "...... Why do you ask this? ”

“…… If you do the math, you've been missing school for a year since last spring, right? Wang Qiu said with a serious face, "...... Your parents are worried about it! Spatial abilities, after all, can't stay with us for a lifetime. When the ability disappears, if you don't even have an education, how can you find a job and make a living? So, everybody thinks you really can't stop school! ”

He took out a notice from his briefcase and handed it to Cai Rong, "...... Professor Yang helped you find a school, which is where Ma Tong and I used to study, and the teaching quality and campus atmosphere are very good. The teachers concerned have also said hello to them! Now that the modern shijie is about to reach the Lantern Festival, the school will start in a few days, so you should hurry up and review the book for a while, so as not to catch up with the progress after the start of school......"

“…… The High School Affiliated to Yongkong Mountain University?" Cai Rong took the notice and glanced at it suspiciously, "...... I'm not against going to school, but you know that I have a physique that attracts wormholes...... What should I do if something happens at school? ”

“…… You can rest assured that we will follow you through. Wang Qiu patted his chest and reassured.

“…… What the?! You're going to that high school too? What are you going to do? Cai Rong was shocked.

“…… The urban management corps is about to move, and the old building is scheduled to be demolished next month, and our office will naturally be gone. The new building of the urban management corps is located in the suburban development zone, and it is not very convenient to commute and stay. Wang Qiu explained, "...... Therefore, after the coordination of Professor Yang and Captain Xiao Se, our new office location was changed to the office building of the High School Affiliated to Longkong Mountain University......

He glanced back at Senior Sister Ma Tong, "...... In this way, we can be considered to return to our alma mater......"

And Senior Sister Ma Tong stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes, "...... Alas, that's right. However, now that we are wearing the gray skin of the chengguan, do you think our alma mater will be ashamed of us, or proud of us? ”

“…… Belch...... This doesn't seem to be easy to say......" Wang Qiu touched his nose.
