Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Lin Yi and Bai Lu came to the family area of ​​the Ancient Research Institute with the gifts they had prepared.

It still maintains the Lao Maozi architectural style of the last century.

It is said that the expert building was built for the experts who came to assist Lao Maozi. Later, when they left, it was distributed to the employees of the institute.

This place is not as good as those archaeological institutes.

It can be regarded as one of the best "Qingshui Yamen" among the affiliated units of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

It is difficult for research to produce results, and the research direction is very single, so the funds above will naturally not be tilted in this direction.

The more this happens, the fewer people will apply for relevant majors.

The fewer people there are, the more the industry will decline, slowly forming a vicious cycle.

Nowadays, we can count on one hand the number of colleges and universities offering related majors, as well as the number of students they recruit each year.

Among them was the University of Geosciences, where Professor Zhou, who had gone deep into the field with Lin Yi and others before, taught.

Most of them choose this major in order to enter a first-class university with a relatively low score, and then use it as a springboard to take the postgraduate entrance examination and start a new career.

This courtyard is basically filled with middle-aged and elderly people, and many people have moved away.

Only Yao Hongqi, Mr. Yao, has been living here. His house is on the first floor, so it doesn't matter.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

Bai Lu knocked lightly on their security door a few times.

After a while, an old voice came from inside:

"Who is it?"

"Grandpa Yao, it's me. Bai Lu, my grandfather called you. Do you remember?"

There was an "oh" sound from inside, followed by a series of door opening sounds.

The old-fashioned wooden door creaked open, and an old man with gray hair, wearing highly myopic glasses and a woolen vest stood in front of them.

"It's you, come in and sit down!"

After saying that, the old man unscrewed the security door and walked straight back to the room on crutches.

The two looked at each other and said to themselves that it was exactly what Mr. Bai said. This old man Yao Hongqi was indeed taciturn and lacking in dealing with others.

At first glance, he looks like an "old scholar" immersed in academics.

In an old-fashioned residential building, the living room area is not large.

Terrazzo floor with a carpet in the middle.

The furnishings in the house are very simple and retro. Except for a wooden sofa, a coffee table, a TV cabinet and a water dispenser, the rest of the space is occupied by books.

There is a writing desk next to the window. The pile of books on it is higher than a person. Yao Hongqi works in the sea of ​​books.

There is almost no place to stay in the house.

"Grandpa Yao, this is the tea we brought you, as well as snacks and fruits."

Bai Lu and Lin Yi didn't know where to put their things.

"Just put it on the table. The water glass is also there. If you want to drink water, just pour it yourself."

On the coffee table, there was a tea tray, several water cups upside down, and an iron thermos in the middle.

Yao Lao dived into the book and said without raising his head.

The two of them smiled helplessly, put the things on the table, and waited quietly for him to finish the work at hand.

After sitting for less than half an hour, Mr. Yao finally stood up, took off his glasses and hung them around his neck, looking at them.

Without any pleasantries, without even asking for names, we went straight to the topic:
"You want to find out about the research content of M27 from me, right?"

The two nodded quickly.

Mr. Yao turned around, rummaged around in the "sea of ​​books" in the living room, took out two hand-bound books and handed them over.

"These two books are a collection of papers that my colleagues and I studied together. You can take a look. The first one is a series of research results we made after discovering the M27 skull fossil.

The latter one is a supplement and revision to the content of the previous stage of the paper after related fossils were discovered one after another. "

After saying that, he put on his glasses and continued working. After a while, he added:
"Just close the door when you leave."

The two were completely dumbfounded.

Lin Yi can be regarded as someone who has dealt with some of the top archaeological experts in the country. Professor Yu Siyuan, who is known as "the one who eats the past without changing things," is not like Yao Lao.

Bai Lu also interviewed a lot of great people from all walks of life when she was abroad. This was the first time she met people like Mr. Yao.

I originally thought I could have a face-to-face chat with the old man, but they just gave them two books and an eviction order to leave!

"Then we won't disturb you! Farewell."

Lin Yi held two collections of essays under his arm and walked out of Yao Hongqi's house with Bai Lu.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the building, he bumped into a man in leather clothes. Lin Yi stepped on the air and almost flew out.

"Hey, keep an eye out while you're walking, I told you."

Judging from the voice, this person is a tomboy, wearing a leather jacket and carrying a helmet in his hand, looking heroic.

"I'm sorry, the corridor was too dark. I really couldn't see it. I missed it. Is everything okay?"

"You almost sent me away with this kick."

The other party glanced at them half-jokingly, and then focused on the two books in Lin Yi's hands.

"Where did you get this book?"

"Oh, we just came to visit Teacher Yao. He gave us these two books for us to go back and study."

The short-haired woman opposite looked them both up and down, with a sly smile on her face.

"Okay, you go back and study it first, but you have to read it carefully. When you come back to return the book, don't let the old man question you." After that, she turned around and walked to Yao Hongqi's door, took out He took the key, opened the door and walked in.

"Who is this girl? She couldn't be Mr. Yao's granddaughter, right? Doesn't she look like an expert in studying ancient human fossils? Look at this horse, this big Harley, the ladies are like a racing gang!

Hey, I said, why did you two come out so quickly? "

Wang Qiang was lying outside the car window and yelled at them.

"Stop asking, go back and study hard!"

Lin Yi and Bai Lu opened the car door and sat in.

After returning home, Lin Yi was indeed not idle. He read the two books given by Professor Yao carefully.

The old professor is indeed an expert in this field. The two collections of essays are full of references, covering everything from myths and legends to professional literature, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.

Especially for the special race of M27, research shows that it has appeared in Europe, Africa, South America and other places around the world.

They disappeared from every corner of the earth almost at the same time, which was the time point of 1 years before history.

The paper stated that this special race of people may have created an extremely high civilization on earth.

And it is very likely that slavery existed on the earth more than 1 years ago, and humans who were less intelligent than them were the objects of their driving and enslavement.

They are "gods".

In the end, these "gods" disappeared from the world, and it is still unclear who they were.

Lin Yi now finally understood why this collection of essays was privately bound.

The direction and content of their research are so "advanced" that they look almost like science fiction, and the content is no different from conjecture. It can only be regarded as a conjecture and there is no way to verify it.

Such "research results" naturally cannot be taken seriously by the above. As a science fiction novel, the plot is a bit too cliché.

Therefore, the unearthing of the M27 skull fossil did not cause much turmoil.

People in Yao Hongqi's group were also considered by the superiors to be typical examples of people who only received wages and did not do any real work. They were sent to the archaeological team with a wave of their hands.

Only then did he have the experience of working with Bai and Luo.

"How's it going? Did you see anything?"

Bai Lu handed him a cup of tea.

Lin Yi took it, took a sip and put it on the table, then turned around and picked up the book again.

"Did you see it? There is a line of instructions here: There is no basis for it, and it is not realistic enough. It is recommended to improve the attitude of rigorous academic research!

What this means is that they are just talking nonsense, and it is all the result of their own blind thinking and behind closed doors, and it does not count. "

Bai Lu took the book and flipped through a few pages.

"To be honest, it is impossible for the academic community to admit the content of these so-called papers. As he said, those M27s were a race of highly civilized people, but they themselves were wiped out by their own captive slaves.

Then these people, their slaves, and advanced civilization all disappeared?Not even a trace left?So the final conclusion was that aliens did it again? "

"The book didn't mention any aliens, but they couldn't give an answer in the end."

Wang Qiang just leaned on the sofa, turned over two pages and fell asleep.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he listened to them discuss the contents of the book and expressed his opinions by the way.

"Old Lin, do you think Professor Yao is a pseudo-expert? He has spent his whole life studying a research direction that is impossible to produce results, and then he has been eating royal food for his whole life. Now he needs a professional title, a status, and a free house. With a pension of tens of thousands, life is pretty good."

No wonder he thinks so. Judging from the contents of these two books, it seems that this is indeed the case.

"Both gentlemen speak highly of him. After all, they have worked together."

"How do you know anything about the study of ancient humans, sir? This is a blind spot in their knowledge. Isn't it just that they just believe what others say?"

While Wang Qiang was talking loudly, Bai and Luo had quietly walked into the house.

"Your evaluation of Sir in this way is a bit 'anti-Tiangang'."

"I'm telling the truth. If you ask the two of them to save a computer now, will they be able to save it? Definitely not. It's the same thing. Every other line is like a mountain."

Speaking of this, Wang Qiang suddenly stopped.

Two black shadows loomed over his head behind him.

"Go on, I'm listening."

Mr. Bai looked at Wang Qiang with a smile.

"Every line is like a mountain, it's good! I'll let you separate!"

Old Man Luo raised his hand and gave Wang Qiang two chestnuts.

"You understand? Old Yao is like this now, but he was not like this before. He made Dou stupid, you know? His brain is not working well. The things you see now are not at all the things he studied back then.

The papers he compiled by himself back then were collected and burned. What you see now are all the things he produced later. "

"The two of us came here to tell you this. We just learned the news not long ago. We didn't expect that Lao Yao would suffer so much."

Mr. Bai added.

Lin Yi and Bai Lu looked at each other and suddenly felt like laughing.

The two spent an afternoon researching what turned out to be a bunch of imaginary content.

"We spent a long time researching on the co-authorship. Is this paper simply made up?"

"Tell me, have you done your research? The marks on your face from the sofa haven't gone away yet. You did your research in your dream, right?"

Old Man Luo said to Wang Qiang unceremoniously.

"Then who should we go to now?"

"You go again tomorrow and stay a little longer. It is said that Lao Yao's illness comes in waves. Sometimes people wake up. You should be able to ask some useful questions. (End of Chapter)
