Chapter 913 Entering the Kyushu Library

"Is your foot healed?" Xiao Xiu'er asked when she saw the previous "patient".

"I can walk now, but there is some pain." Selina replied.

"It's a pity that my medicine box is not here... You can go to my residence, and I will change your medicine." Xiao Xiu'er said.

"How dare I bother you... I don't know your name yet, and you are dressed like this, are you a student of the Academy of Sciences?" Selina saw Xiao Xiuer wearing a blue shirt and black skirt here, pregnant Zhong was still holding a thick book, thinking of Li Jinde mentioning that there were female students in the Academy of Sciences, he couldn't help asking curiously.

"My name is Xiao Xiu'er, and I'm a student of the Medical Department of the Academy of Sciences." Xiao Xiu'er couldn't deny it.

"Medical Department, a place dedicated to training doctors?" Selina asked in surprise.

Xiao Xiuer nodded, and looked at Li Jinde again: "You are not from the Academy of Sciences, are you the one who brought the envoys to visit the Academy of Sciences?"

"Yes, I don't know if there is any offense? I have only heard of the existence of the Academy of Sciences before, and this is the first time I have come to visit today." Li Jinde was very active, remembering that Xiao Xiuer and Ella appeared together at the All over the world, then she should be inextricably related to Chu Yun, and she dare not treat her as an ordinary student.

"The Academy of Sciences is originally open to the common people, so there is no offense. Except that some places require special authority..." Xiao Xiuer said.

"Isn't that right? We originally wanted to enter the Kyushu Library, but we were told that we are not allowed to enter without a student status." Li Jinde said helplessly.

"It's not impossible to enter the Kyushu Library... Different places in the Academy of Sciences have different opening permissions. I can take you into the library, but you have the lowest permissions as tourists, and you can only stay in you for three quarters of an hour. And you can't borrow any books. Besides, you can't make loud noises inside, if Princess Sophia and this lady understand the situation, you can follow me in." Xiao Xiu'er thought for a while and said to Li Jinde.

"Really?" Li Jinde never expected that there would be a chance to enter the mysterious library.

After he explained the current situation with Princess Sofia and Selina, both Princess Sofia and Selina were quite pleasantly surprised and expressed their willingness to visit the mysterious Kyushu Library with Xiao Xiuer.

Xiao Xiuer took a few people to register at the guard in front of the door, and then walked into the Kyushu Library.

"Wow——" Princess Sophia entered the interior of the Kyushu Library, and was really shocked by the grandeur inside!

They are now on the bottom floor. Looking up, they can see that layers of square floors are superimposed like a maze. There are aisles connecting each floor, and one of the aisles extends from the bottom floor to the top floor like a fold.There are countless bookshelves on each floor, and various books are placed on them.The few of them looked so small in front of the sea of ​​books.

Wooden tables are placed neatly, students sit on wooden chairs and read books, table lamps and chandeliers in the aisle make up for the lack of light in the stone building, making the interior look resplendent.

"A sea of ​​smoke..." Selina finally experienced what it means to be submerged in an ocean of books. This feeling made her scalp tingle, and she was also inexplicably excited.

"We have a proverb in China, 'There is a road in the mountains of books, and hard work is the path to the sea of ​​learning'. This aisle leading to the highest level is called 'Diligence is the path'." Said the main staircase extending to the top floor.

"Unbelievable luxury!" Princess Sofia expressed such emotion even though she did not see precious metals such as silver and gold.

She had a vague feeling that the value of these seemingly random books placed here might be much more precious than silver and gold!
"Each level has its own theme. The first level is Chinese literature, the second level is history and geography, the third level is law and economics, the fourth level is mathematical science, and the fifth level is... I will take you Go up one level at a time, but you must not make any noise inside." Xiao Xiu'er said.

"Can I take out the book and look through it?" Selina asked when she saw Lie Xin happy.

"Yes, but you can't take it out." Xiao Xiu'er nodded.

Xiao Xiu'er led them up the "Path of Qinwei", which attracted the sideways glances of some students in the library, and they couldn't help but take a few extra glances when they passed by.

There are hundreds of classes in "Diligence is the path", and Selina, who injured her ankle, had to turn to Li Jinde for help with her eyes.

Li Jinde understood that it was inconvenient to support Selina because she had a "fiancé", but it would be too cruel to ask a person with an injured ankle to walk up the stone steps, so he generously gave up his arm and let Selina hold it His arm borrowed strength.

"Hey, why are the bookshelves here empty?" When Princess Sophia climbed the "Diligent Path", she found that many bookshelves were empty and there were no books.

"Because the Kyushu Library has not been established for a long time, many subjects have not been supplemented and improved...but they have already reserved places for them at the beginning of the classification. It is not surprising." Xiao Xiuer said.

Although Chu Yun has summoned many talents with his powerful system, it still takes time for them to write books.At present, the most abundant collection of books in the Kyushu Library is the Chinese literature that exists in this world, which is the traditional classics preserved by Chu Yun.

"Mathematical science." Selina was very interested in the books placed on a higher level, and took a book from the shelf. The title of the book was in Chinese characters, so she couldn't understand it.

She opened the book and found that in addition to a bunch of Chinese characters, there were illustrations in it, drawing the orbits of the sun, the earth, and the moon, and there were many calculation formulas beside it.

"I don't understand..." Selina smiled wryly.Not just calculation formulas, but more importantly, if you don't know Chinese, you can't understand what this book is talking about.

Li Jinde came over and saw the book in Selina's hand - "Celestial Mechanics".

"The orbits of the planets change due to their mutual attraction..." Li Jinde read one of the sentences.

What are planets?Orbits attract each other?

Li Jinde, who had never studied astronomy and physics, was at a loss.

Li Jinde saw another book near the original "Celestial Mechanics", which seemed to be the work of the same author.

"If a wise man could know the forces of all natural motions and the positions of all natural objects at a certain moment... then the motions from the largest objects to the smallest particles in the universe would be included in a simple formula..." Li Jinde read again In one of the paragraphs, immediately close this "Philosophical Essays on Probability".

What are the people in the Academy of Sciences studying... Li Jinde found that he couldn't understand it at all.

Selina saw that Li Jinde could read these characters, so these books are all written in Chinese characters.It would be great if I could know Chinese characters myself, at least I can know what these books are talking about.

When Selina was envious, she didn't expect that even if Li Jinde knew Chinese, he couldn't understand these advanced things!
