545. Robbers of human civilization

Xu Le looked at Arthur next to him, a little confused, Arthur was also a little embarrassed, "Actually, this is the origin of the fog capital, sooner or later!"

Is it night?

I can't see the sun, so it's like night, but it's supposed to be morning!

Xu Le followed Arthur to the place where he picked up his luggage, Xiaobai was the first to come out, this kind of special delivery had to be special, Xiaobai came out of it, "What a broken place, is this morning or night!"

"Let's be confused"!

Xu Le asked Arthur, "Is there May Day here?"

"Yes, but it's a holiday on May 6th"!

Xu Le thought about it, it's over, this should be wrong!

"What did you read in Cambridge"?

"What do you mean?" Arthur was very dissatisfied, "Is the anthropology I read good or not, it is the upper level of archaeology, it is matrilineal"!

Xu Le almost kicked him, and he was still maternal!

The two of them carried their luggage and arrived at the customs entrance, Arthur walked through the territorial passage, Xu Le walked through the foreigner passage, looking at Xu Le's passport, "Why not"?

The man asked, Xu Le squinted at the fat aunt, "That one is younger!"

"Why do you have long hair"? It's so wide!

"I do, does your country have a requirement for the length of the hair, and have you ever taken care of the long hair of the Beatles"?

Xu Le's fluent English confused this aunt!

"Why isn't your dog on a leash?"

Xu Le pulled out the strip of red cloth from Xiaobai's long hair, "See?"

'Oh yes'!

This aunt doesn't look like a good person when she looks at Xu Le, let her go, anyway, this is not a place for good people to come!

Arthur smoked a cigarette at the door, this guy actually doesn't have a smoking addiction, it's good to smoke one or two a day, that is, a hobby!

"You're done with the book, right?"

Arthur nodded!

"Okay, let's go to Kangqiao at noon on the 3rd, I will follow you in the next two days, you arrange", Xu Le is very direct, and it is not his home field, just listen to the arrangement, wait for someone from Huaxia to come!

"Well, no problem", Arthur said to Xu Le in Mandarin, "by the way, why did Misho leave so quickly the day before yesterday and go to a different place"? Arthur was puzzled, Xu Le was stunned for a moment, "Don't you know"?

"I don't know, in the morning, Mischho, Athena, and Mister Zhang and Zhong, they left, and then at five o'clock in the afternoon, when they received the call, they dispersed, I went to New York, Catherine went to Luo Sanji, I don't know about the others, I'm still very strange"!

Xu Le nodded, as long as Qingning is purely rational, there is absolutely no problem, and he is more relieved, "I don't know, I don't ask, you are a gossip!"

Arthur looked at Xu Le and said seriously, "Gossip? It's so mysterious, I've heard it"!

Xiaobai snorted and laughed, and Xu Le also laughed!

"Do you have money"?

Arthur asked Xu Le, "What do you mean?"

"You have three honorary doctorates in the country of moldy pears, and you have to get a few here!"

Xu Le felt that it was wrong, "What does that have to do with money?"

Arthur was anxious, "What the hell, who will give it to you if you don't spend money, we have to spend money"!

Xu Le looked at Arthur, you learned to scold people very quickly!

"No, don't you ruin the image of Cambridge in my heart?"

Arthur shook his head, "Education is industrialized in England and is used to make money, understand?" No matter how high your academic status is, it costs money, unless you really stay here for a few years, doesn't that still cost money? Now you're spending money on the time!"

Xu Le was stunned after listening to it, I'm the second Ao, this theory is logically fine!

"Why do I think you're kidding me?" Xu Le looked at Arthur suspiciously, this grandson is definitely fooling himself, won't Catherine not give him money, right? I'm coming to cheat money?

"Say, what do you want money for?"

Xu Le looked at Arthur and said, Arthur was embarrassed, "I'm going to buy blood, I've been feeling worse and worse in the past two days"!

Xu Le thought about the scenery outside he saw the night before, and he knew, it was almost fifteen!

"Do you want revenge"? Xu Le looked at her and said, Arthur shook his head after thinking about it, "They are actually quite pitiful, no matter what, I have also awakened some special abilities, such as my memory, my physical fitness, I just want to heal myself, but if they come to me again, I will definitely fight back"!

During this time, he and the new students were also studying, and they were making rapid progress, and they had already reached the realm of flesh and skin!

Xu Le nodded, "Then do you want to be completely cured?"

"As long as I don't think about fresh blood all the time"! Arthur said in a low voice!

Xu Le looked at Xiaobai, "Are you also interested in blood!"

'Brother, don't look at me, I'm interested in blood but I won't just think about drinking blood when I'm fine, I'm not that kind of person'!

"Yes, you're not human"!

"Find a place to have breakfast, then introduce me to the museum, and let's have a good chat in the evening," Xu Le and Arthur said!

Then the two of them took a taxi and went straight to the Fog Capital City!

The two of them stopped directly at the Thames, casually found a small shop next to it, and asked for more than 20 sandwiches, after eating, Arthur said to Xu Le, "This arrangement, look at some well-known buildings, you don't need to go to wander inside, just look at the appearance, and then go to two museums to learn about it, known as the top ten, in fact, I think two must go, and one is the Maritime Museum, this you have the opportunity to come again, the main thing in it is 100,000 books, all of which are very early and not available elsewhere, Then I will go to see Stonehenge, I have to live there, tomorrow during the day, this is the most famous prehistoric civilization site in England, and then tomorrow at noon to the University of Cow Tend, the morning after tomorrow to Cambridge"!

"You can stay in Kangqiao for three days, and then go to German, climb the plow, Italian boots and Xiya, three days each, which is enough, just a simple exchange, engage in activities, buy one if you can buy a permit, and leave if you can't"!

Xu Le listened to the front quite serious, if he didn't know if this guy really had a level, he would definitely think that this grandson was selling fake certificates, and now he doubted that this grandson was not a graduation certificate obtained through normal channels!

"How many years have you been in graduate school?"

"One year"!

"What"?

"Ninety-five percent of Inge's graduate students are one year, you understand, it is required to collect money quickly, just like eating, this is called the turnover rate, understand, wave after wave of sales, how cool"!

"Don't talk Mandarin to me in the future", Xu Le pointed to Arthur and said!

Subsequently, Arthur took Xu Le to Tower Bridge and Big Ben first, he painted, and then went to Buckingham Palace, Xu Le took out a notebook and pen and kept drawing, listening to Arthur's forced introduction, royal celebrations were held here; Then I went to Westminster Abbey, Xu Le painted this church and said to Arthur, "Just these hundreds of years of broken things, we have knocked down piece by piece, hey, the building materials are different, you now understand why the Chinese script has not been preserved, right?"

Subsequently, Arthur took Xu Le directly to the British Museum, which claims to be one of the largest museums in the world, with a collection of more than 4 million pieces, including historical relics from all over the world and ancient art and cultural treasures from all over the world, many of which are the only remaining rare books, where you can see the real thing. There are more than a hundred exhibition rooms, and on each side of the main entrance of the museum are eight thick and tall Romanesque columns, each with a triangular roof carved on top of it. The whole building is majestic and magnificent. Xu Le kept drawing, and hurried in after finishing!

Arthur was very familiar with this place, starting from the main hall on the first floor, the Sloane Astrolabe, the Holy Thorn Reliquary, the Sutton Hu Boat Coffin, the Rosetta Stone, the head of Ramses II, the Assyrian lion hunt relief, the Parthenon sculpture, the Moai (Easter Island stone statue), the turquoise mosaic two-headed snake, the three-color pottery figurines of the Chinese Tang Tomb, the cloisonné porcelain altar, the Jade Cong, and the Allahabad Jade Turtle.

To the top are mainly mechanical sailing clocks, Lewis chess, Mosaic Yakye heads, Celtic Bass Yutz flasks, North Wales gold capes, Oxus treasures, Assyrian Dahong cement slabs, your royal game board, Katebet mummies, Takhalka sphinxes, Inuchi samurai armor.

The basement level is dominated by bronze heads of the Holy King of Ife.

Xu Le looked at the more than 100,000 pieces of national treasures of the Aiji cultural relics is really sad, whether this is the Aiji's or the Yingge's, the weak country is really a sin!

Arthur told Xu Le about "Rosetta Stone, which is known as the "treasure" of the British Museum. This unassuming stele is engraved with three different characters from top to bottom, and the stele is engraved with the same content in Xiya, Gueji and popular script at that time, which gives modern archaeologists the opportunity to decipher the meaning and structure of the Eji hieroglyphs that have been lost for more than 1,000 years after comparing the content of various language versions, and has become an important milestone in the study of the history of Gueji. At the top is a four-line ancient Eyji hieroglyph, in the middle is three or two lines of Eiji cursive, and then below is five or four lines of ancient Hisya, the three languages of the ancient Hisya script can be read by modern humans, using this key to compare and analyze the content of the other two languages on the stele, you can understand the text and grammatical structure of these lost languages.

Heads of Ramses II and Amenhotzep III. These two heads are very conspicuous, it is the largest statue of the Aegan in the British Museum, Ramses II is the representative of the Aeo, its reign was 1279 BC - 1213 BC, it is the last strong era in the history of the ancient Aegyro, the head is made of a whole piece of granite cleverly using its texture and color changes, from its back to see this is more clear. On the head of Amenhotzhipu III, wearing a double crown that symbolizes the unity of the upper and lower Egyptian chickens, one of the arms of the statue is also displayed on the side, and a tourist who does not know which country wants to sit on his arm to take pictures, but is stopped by the security guard next to him in time.

The goddess of the lion's head, Sekhmet. This is the lion-headed goddess Sekhmet, who is full of power, wildness, and is not afraid of other animals, one of the gods of the ancient chicken, one of the three pillared gods of Memphis, the wife of Puta, the father of the god Nefertemu, the daughter of the sun god, and is worshipped as the goddess of battle. Appears as a lioness wearing a sun disc on her head. Revered in the same way as the goddess Thebesmaot.

Female Sphinx. There are a lot of sphinxes in the Eji Pavilion, and this one is a female sphinx in a glass container.

Assyrian reliefs. The Assyrian Empire was a great empire that arose in West Asia and North Africa 3,000 years ago. Its territory covers the area where the two earliest ancient civilizations of mankind, the Lianghe Civilization (Mesopotamian Civilization) and the Eji Civilization, are located. The British Museum has a large collection of relief frescoes from the Assyrian period, which truly and vividly show the history of that era. The Assyrians were fierce and warlike, and the relief murals depicted a large number of war scenes, and a large number of relief murals depicted the hunting activities of the emperor after the war, hunting and killing fierce lions, as well as the scenes of ancient quarrying and transportation processes, describing the transportation and construction process of the human head winged lion statue, and the figures and animals are carved lifelike, with a high artistic level.

Statue of a winged lion with a human head. At the entrance of the Assyrian relief frescoes there are two huge reliefs of a lion with a human head and wings, which are said to be the mythological protector gods who were placed on the gates of the royal palaces of Mesopotamia to protect the royal family from demons.

Venus in the bath. A striking statue in the middle of the Ancient Roman Pavilion depicts Venus bathing when she is suddenly peeped upon by a stranger. The frightened goddess shyly turned her head and covered her chest with one hand, trying to cover her bare body with the other. The whole body is depicted in plump and delicate, every detail is handled smoothly and vividly, and the subtle and feminine beauty of the female body is expressed by the author in the image of God, which is unimaginable in the Archaic period and the early classical period.

Parthenon sculpture. The Ancient Historia of Rome has a very large and huge structure: the Parthenon, the largest surviving classical sculpture group from the Parthenon, which is more decorative than any previous temple.

Built between 447 and 438 BC, the Parthenon sculpture is a magnificent sculpture of magnificence and the use of a large amount of marble, which perfectly weaves together modern Sia and ancient mythology, and is intended to show the power and wealth of the city at the height of its empire. I can't imagine how such a huge building could have been transported to the British Museum thousands of miles away.

The Parthenon sculptures are very numerous, these sculptures are inlaid in the Parthenon exhibition room of the Thea Hall, and the walls are surrounded by statues, although some of the statues are mutilated, but from the existing statues, it can be seen that the entire work of art is meticulously made, including the muscles on the body and the folds of the clothes are lifelike.

It is reported that for many years, Thea has been asking Britain to return the Parthenon sculpture, but Britain just won't return it.

Easter Island megalith. This huge Easter Island megalithic statue was a gift from the British to Queen Victoria in 1869, and is one of nearly 1,000 giant stone statues on Easter Island from Easter Island in the South Pacific. Easter Island is one of the most isolated islands in the world, but there are more than 800 giant stone statues standing on such a secluded island. These stone statues are almost the same "long", they are all busts, a pair of long ears, deep sunken eyes, a shaved forehead and a high nose, a pouted mouth, an angular chin, arms hanging on both sides, and ten fingers of both hands stretched to protect the abdomen. On the island, all the stone statues face the sea and look majestic.

Discus thrower. The birthplace of the Olympic Games is Guhija, and many of Guhia's sculptures depict sports, and this "Discus Thrower" is one of the masterpieces. However, according to the audio explanation, the current work of "The Discus Thrower" in the British Museum is a copy, not the original work by the Sia sculptor Mirren (the original has been destroyed).

Inuhi samurai armor. One of the most beautiful things in the Inuhikan is a set of samurai armor from the Inuhichi Edo period (17th-19th centuries). The helmet retains its earlier tradition, which is a hideous face with an erected beard that gives foes a sense of fear. Under the armor of the Inuhi samurai, there is also a Inuhi samurai sword.

Bronze, Han lacquer cup, female history proverb, Davide vase. The most striking is the Grand Vidde's vase, which is of very small existence and is probably the most important surviving piece of blue and white porcelain, with an inscription on the top dating back to 1351. The Daweide vase is a pair of blue and white cloud dragon pattern elephant ear vases produced in Jingdezhen in 1351, which was once dedicated to the temple, and the style draws on the shape of the Shang and Zhou bronzes, and there is a pair of ears at the neck of the bottle. The inscription on one side of the bottleneck indicates the date, so it is the world's earliest known blue and white porcelain with an exact date, and is regarded as a sample of blue and white research in the Yuan Dynasty, and is called "the world's most famous porcelain" by Western scholars. ”

Xu Le looked at the good things in the Huaxia Pavilion, he was really angry, "Brother, shall we do it at night?"

Xu Le still shook his head!

In the end, the two of them ran to the North Mold Pavilion, looking at the two-headed snake, Xu Le smiled, "You call this a snake?" Have you ever seen a snake's teeth? When you go to Erlitou Xia Ruins one day, you will know, this is definitely Chinese culture"!

However, Xu Le still admires Arthur, much better than the narrator, is this guy not going to school and staying here every day!

He was then taken to the next door to Room 6, a bookstore specializing in books on ancient history, archaeology, and art history. Xu Le actually found the latest issue of Hefu's archaeological journal, as well as his own article!

In addition, he has all three books, Xu Le is very happy, and bought three English books, this is the first time he has spent money to buy his own books, sign his name casually, and buy them in the British Museum!

"You're boring"! Arthur said to him, "I'll tell you not to speak Chinese"!

"Nonsense, I have to maintain my gentlemanly demeanor"!

Arthur said with a smile!

'This one isn't a good bird at first glance'!

"Brother, that Venus is plump enough!"

Xu Le kicked Xiaobai in a puff!

'I think those lions and birds are delicious!'

Subsequently, the three went directly to the Science Museum in London, with more than 200,000 exhibits. A large number of exhibits related to natural sciences and modern science and technology, such as mathematics, aviation, astronomy, etc., are preserved. There are so many kinds that they are really rare. What is exhibited here is the history of human beings' continuous self-improvement and step by step to the present. The Science Museum in London is a four-storey building with a basement below, divided into about 70 exhibition halls, all of which are free to enter. The history of the invention of industry and science and technology is illustrated in real objects, which can help people understand the history of the life of the industrial revolution and the role it played in changing the world.

1728 model of the Falken loom, the world's first machine controlled by a punch card, 1901 Charles Brown. Parsons's design of the turbine generator, the Victorian kitchen, the 1775 compound microscope, the 1890 phonograph, the elaborate telephone at the beginning of this century, the English typewriter in 1875, and the human hand churning milk to separate the cream, this ancient method has found its way into the museum, the oldest locomotive in the world, the periscope made in the children's room in 1813.

Xu Le looked at everything here and really felt that the scientific system of the society since the fifteenth century has been growing stronger and perfecting, and finally promoting the development of society, which is the real sense of change, the idea is more of an internalization, but the promotion of social and economic development is the fundamental driving force!

Thinking of these two museums, Xu Le finally came to a conclusion, this Yingge and even the city are really the civilization of robbers, and they make themselves more civilized through continuous robbery, this country is really hypocritical, and everyone pretends to be five or six, but in fact, they are all robbers in their bones, and it is even more ridiculous to talk about civilization with robbers!

It's already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the three of them go directly to the train station to take the train to Avebury, Wiltshire!

The train is really slow, slower than the one in China, it takes almost four hours to get off, on the train, Xu Le began to write things by himself, nearly 50,000 words of perception and detailed introduction, mainly science and technology, art, environment, and academic, and then finish writing the communication with them in Charlotte and the embassy a few days ago in the evening!

The two of them took a taxi to a small village next to Stonehenge, and lived in a small manor.
