Lin Yi recalled the scene of their visit to Professor Yao at this moment.

I suddenly understood why he behaved in such a way that seemed abnormal, as if he was completely out of touch with the world.

It can only be said that a speck of dust from the times, falling on a person's shoulder, weighs a mountain.

and the "tomboy" who had the key to Professor Yao's house, said to them with deep meaning.

She should have known that there was something wrong with the content of the paper.

"It's been a long time, this is what the old man made to entertain himself, you said this is a trouble."

After seeing the second elder leave, Wang Qiang tilted his neck and fell on the sofa again.

"You see that he also made a decent one, and the binding is neat, just like the real thing."

After he finished saying this, Lin Yi suddenly felt something, and immediately took this collection of essays and turned to the last page.

It stands to reason that at the end of the paper, the sources of the documents cited above will be uniformly marked.

Even if the content of this paper is conjured up under the premise that he is unconscious, then if the source can be found in these relevant literature, it can be proved that the content of that part is true.

Bai Lu brought his own computer, and from these entries, he searched and verified them line by line in order.

Sure enough, they found some patterns.

The content that seems absurd and unbelievable is basically all made up.

Removing these contents, most of the citations in it are from two top teams abroad.

Yello University in the United States and Arrowbridge University in England have published two professional books:

"10,000 Years Before History" and "The Lost Earth's Trajectory"

"Yelu University, one of the world's most renowned paleontological research centers, has a world-class paleontological museum and laboratory.

Their paleontology program began in the early 19th century and has a history of more than 100 years, making it one of the first universities in the world to offer paleontology courses.

Arrowbridge University has one of the most complete and oldest paleontological museums in the world, displaying specimens and fossils from hundreds of species. In addition, the university has a dedicated paleontological research center. ”

Bai Lu found the relevant information of these two top universities in the world on the computer.

In Professor Yao's time, it was very difficult to check a foreign document.

No internet, no cell phones, no electronic devices.

Back then, we didn't have many opportunities to deal with these countries.

Thousands of miles apart, language barriers, if you want to get first-hand information, in addition to academic exchanges, you have to count on colleagues who go out on business to help them memorize the books.

"The things he saw were all possible to kill people at the time."

"There's no way, the main reason is that Big Brother was a little behind in paleontological research at that time, and there was no value for reference and reference."

Bai Lu's words were right.

Because of the geographical location, the northern hairy bear is indeed a little unable to keep up with the paleontological research.

The carbon 14 in Europe and the Americas have all come to fruition, and the permafrost on Lao Maozi's side has not been dug up, and the old capital accumulated during the 'Cold War' is still being eaten there.

"Look for these two books and see if there's an electronic version."

Bai Lu's fingers flew and searched for these two books on the Internet, but the results were beyond everyone's expectations.

These two books are not available on the Internet.

"Can't find it? Shouldn't it, not even a trace? ”

Bai Lu shook her head helplessly and pushed the computer in front of them.

"Then go to the official websites of the libraries of these two universities to see if there is any relevant content."

Bai Lu entered the URL and searched again.

The Arrow Bridge University Library is one of the largest libraries in the world, with a collection of about 15 million volumes.

With the advent of the Internet age, they also have their own digital library, where most of the books can be found in electronic photocopies.

"Still no, let alone books, there are no records of the collection."

Lin Yi's brows have been twisted into the word "Sichuan".

The paleontological research teams of these two universities existed and have existed to this day.

The relevance of these two books can also be found, although they have passed away, but their personal biographies do not mention their participation in the compilation of these two books.

These two books, published at the beginning of the last century, were not in their respective schools' library search systems.

There are no online or second-hand trading websites, and even the publisher's information has been checked, but there is still no indication that these two books really existed.

"The content of this document was also made up by the old man himself?"

"Now it seems that this is indeed the case, and if there is no trace of its existence on the Internet, then it should never have appeared."

"Let's go, let's go find Professor Yao again."

Lin Yi reached out and picked up his coat, patted Bai Lu and Wang Qiang on the shoulder, and walked out of the door quickly.

Wang Qiang waited in the car as usual, and Lin Yi and Bai Lu went up to call the door.

"Professor Yao, are you at home?"

This time, the door opened quickly, and standing in the room was the short-haired woman they had seen at noon on a motorcycle.

She had changed into a homely outfit with an apron tied around her waist.

"Yo, it's you, did you finish the book so quickly?"

As she spoke, she reached out and opened the door and ushered the two in.

Professor Yao stuck his head in the desk without raising his head.

"You sit down first, I'm making noodles, I'll make a meal of fried noodles for my grandfather later, and you can eat some together."

"You're Professor Yao's granddaughter, right?"

"Yes, Yao Yiyan, my two hands are faces, so I won't shake hands with you two."

"Let's introduce ourselves, I."

"I know you, and I will participate in the follow-up of the scientific expedition project of the exquisite monument."

Speaking of which, the two of them understood in an instant.

This is Professor Yao's granddaughter who inherited his mantle in the field of "paleoanthropology", Yao Yiyan.

Judging from the information, she should be in her thirties this year, how can she still look like she is in her twenties, no wonder she didn't think it was her at first sight just now.

After a few words of greeting, Yao Yiyan went into the kitchen to cook, and soon, four bowls of fried noodles were served in turn.

"The conditions at home are limited, so let's just take a look."

As she spoke, she picked up a bowl of rice, mixed it well, and brought it to Professor Yao.

I pulled a stool and sat across from the two of them with a big grin.

"Eat, what are you looking at me for? What could be more important in this world than eating? Try my craft and give me more valuable advice. ”

After that, she took the garlic herself, picked up the noodles and sucked them.

It really doesn't look like a girl.

Lin Yi and Bai Lu were not hypocritical at all and ate with her.

Should I say it or not, Yao Yiyan's craftsmanship is really good, and it is said that the best fried noodles in the hearts of Shangjing people will always be the bowl at home.

Her craft is indeed the taste of home.

"It's okay, my craft has been passed down by my grandmother, otherwise my grandfather wouldn't have remembered it."

"I take the liberty of asking, grandma."

"It's been ten years since I left, and now my grandfather lives alone."

"That Professor Yao is in this state. If there is no one around to take care of you."

Yao Yiyan turned his head to look at his back and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Except for the difficulty of communicating with people, most of the time the thinking is still stuck in his work, the rest of the matter has no effect, there is a canteen in the yard, he goes to eat at the point, and the rest of the time is spent in the house to do research.

Hey, to put it bluntly, it's just entertaining yourself, have you read his 'thesis'? Isn't it written like a joke? He made it all up himself. ”

"I don't think some of it was made up."

Before Lin Yi finished speaking, Professor Yao, who was silent, suddenly shouted:

"Niu Niu, put the bowl away."

Yao Yiyan stretched out his hand and pointed at the old man's back.

"Be sober at this time, if there is anything, you should ask quickly, and you will be confused again after a while."

After saying this, she got up and put the bowl away, and then lay on the old man's shoulder and whispered to him:

"The two people who came this morning are back now, and I have questions for you."

Professor Yao took off his glasses and turned around, his eyes were obviously much clearer.

The two men got up and walked up to him and handed back the two booklets in their hands.

Professor Yao took it and placed it in a pile of books next to his desk.

"What do you want me to ask?"

"That's right, we wanted to ask you about the M27 skull fossil, we have read the paper booklet you gave us, but we have not been able to find the literature from the two professional teams of Arrow Bridge and Jelu."

"How so? One is called "10,000 Years Before History" and the other is "The Trajectory of the Disappearing Earth", these two books were brought back by my colleague Guan Songhua from abroad for me, how could I not find them? Have you searched carefully? ”

"I've looked for it, but I can't find any information about these two books on the Internet."

"Then you must not have bothered to look for them, Professor Jefferson in the United States and Professor Beard in England are very famous, although these two books are relatively difficult to find, but they are not impossible to find at all, it must be that you did not look carefully.

This book was brought back to me by my colleague Guan Songhua from abroad."

The more Professor Yao spoke, the more excited he became, and then he suddenly closed his mouth.

"Leave it all at your own leisure, just close the door when you leave."

Yao Yiyan, who had been listening, also came over at this moment.

"Okay, it's 'shutdown' again. I heard you just say that the two books cited in this book don't exist? ”

"Yes, we've searched all over the Internet for these two copies, and there's no trace of their existence."

"It can't be! I've read these two books with my own eyes. ”

"Have you seen that?"

Bai Lu asked in a lost voice.

It stands to reason that they should often cite the theoretical results of this kind of bull research, why do these two books seem to have never appeared, and no one continues to pursue them?

"The "Homo sapiens" project in the 12,000 years of prehistory has very few people studying it in the world, and it is an unpopular project among unpopular disciplines.

At that time, except for the two universities of Arrow Bridge and Jero, which had the spare time to do research, no one else in the world studied this.

The main reason is that the scope of research is extremely limited, and most of the content is mainly imagination and speculation, and then because of the war, the research was completely interrupted, and no one cared about it anymore.

My grandfather also began to pay attention to this because of our here, and later unearthed related skull fossils and remains, and since then, no one has studied this anymore.

However, those two books are simply life-like treasures for him.

According to my father, my grandfather made it to this point because he had these two books in his private possession, and when I was a child, I saw these two books in my bookcase, both of which were written in English, which was my English enlightenment reading back then. So I was very impressed. ”

When the two heard this, they were overjoyed.

"Where are these two books now?"

Yao Yiyan turned around and pointed to the whole room.

"It should be in a corner of his pile of books, and the books here, he has to rummage through them every once in a while, and I don't know where he put them."

As far as the eye can see, there are thousands of books stored in this old-fashioned house of less than 70 square meters, and I don't know when I will find them.

"Have you read these two books?"

"Didn't I just say that? English enlightenment readings, enlightenment, nodding yes shaking head no, say hello first when you meet, this is considered to be understanding English, then I will admit that I have seen it.

But you say that neither of these books exists on the Internet, so I think it's a little unlikely. ”

Without saying a word, Bai Lu took out his laptop from his bag and demonstrated all the paths they had found just now.

This time, Yao Yiyan was completely speechless.

"How so?"

Lin Yi had already had an idea in his heart at this moment, but because there were strangers around, it was difficult to say it directly.

"Well, if you have time, help us find these two books, and we'll not bother for now."

"Don't, I'm definitely not available, what kind of promotion activities are going to be held in the institute the day after tomorrow, I want to go on a business trip to Sanqin, when the time comes, my parents will take turns to come over to take care of my grandfather, or leave this matter to my father to find it, anyway, he likes to put things together, and when the time comes, come and see the mess here, and I can't help but clean up." Maybe he'll find it. ”

"Is that activity you are talking about called 'searching for traces of ancient humans'? We've signed up, and we might be able to work together when the time comes. ”

"You also signed up? Hey, that's a good dare, with a big Internet celebrity like you, help us publicize, and follow us to Qinling to investigate, maybe like last time, we can still encounter some ancient ruins.

Since that's the case, okay, leave the matter of finding the book to me, I'll help you find it here tonight, leave a contact information, and notify you as soon as I have the result. ”

After speaking, Yao Yiyan took out his mobile phone and showed his QR code.

After Bai Lu added her V letter, she turned around and left.

Back in the car, Lin Yi lit a cigarette, took half a puff, and suddenly looked up and said:

"The power of the 'Purple Marquis' and the scope of control are far beyond our expectations, and I estimate that these two books must have recorded some important information, so they will invest huge manpower and material resources to directly erase the traces of its existence from modern civilization."
