Aurelian couldn't believe his ears, and opened his mouth for a long time before he came back to his senses and said, "It's just that I accept it for no reason. I will definitely feel uneasy for a long time!"

Feng Yu said, "This is easy to deal with. I happen to have something to ask Your Excellency Aurelian for help."

When Aurelian heard that there was no free lunch in the world, but such a heavy courtesy, it was probably difficult for the other party to do something. So he asked carefully: "General Feng Hu, what should I do in Egypt? As long as I, Aurelian, can do it, don't worry, even if there are many difficulties, I will help you."

Feng Yu said bluntly: "It's not difficult for Governor Aurelian. Brother, I am currently running a school in Sicily and need a lot of classical books. I heard that there is a library in this city of Alexandria with hundreds of thousands of volumes of books..."

Before Feng Yu finished speaking, Aurelian was relieved and laughed: "I think it's a matter, what's the problem? Tomorrow I will ask someone to take you to the library. And I will also arrange a copyist. What books do you like? The copyist will prepare a copy for you on the spot to take it away."

Feng Yu smiled faintly again and said, "The Governor misunderstood. I want to transfer all the books in the Alexander Library to my Sicily. If it is copied manually, the speed will be too slow. Even if there are thousands of people arranged for hundreds of thousands of books, I don't know when to copy them. I mean to transfer all the books to Sicily by ship."

"This..." Aurelian hesitated for a moment and said firmly: "There is no problem with this. It's just that you need to make a written guarantee to ensure that these ancient books can be properly placed in Sicily and not damaged."

After saying that, he immediately said, "General Feng Hu, don't get me wrong. I don't care about these books. But if these books are damaged, I will bear the infamy."

Feng Yuying said: "This is natural. I will vacate the Governor's Mansion and place these books. After the large library on Sicily is built, they will be placed in it. It is guaranteed that one will not be damaged."

Feng Yu now learned that the current Romans are different from the Romans hundreds of years ago. They also attach importance to culture. Although they are still very "subject to science", they are not as enthusiastic about various disciplines as the ancient Greeks and are diligent in studying, but they cannot tolerate the destruction of ancient books and classics. Even if these books are content that they are not interested in.

The next day, Feng Yu and Valo went to the Alexander Library with a special person. When they arrived at the door of the library, Feng Yu found that it was not a library, it was clearly a huge castle. A wall stretched out from both sides of the main entrance hall, surrounding an area of ​​hundreds of wars. Various building facilities of different sizes were distributed inside.

When they passed through the foyer, they found some ruins in the courtyard. The people who led them explained that Caesar and Anthony had a civil war. When Caesar led the navy to attack Alexandria, the flame bombs fired by the carrier-based crossbows triggered a raging fire on the port. The library was also affected and the fish caught fire. Most of the books in the main museum were burned down. Fortunately, there were a large number of books stored in the branch museum. After the war, the main museum only slightly repaired and moved all the books in the branch museum. Today, more than 300 years later, we can still see traces of some burned ruins in the library.

When Feng Yu and Varo walked into the library lobby, they found that there was no one. Feng Yu asked the person who led him: "Why are there no one? Is the library not open to the public on weekdays?"

The man replied, "When you say to General, you are open to the general. But there are very few people coming. We only borrow a small number of copied books from outsiders. Originally, books were not borrowed. So there are very few administrators. Now these administrators should be going to sort out the book catalog for General. Anyway, there is still time, so why should I take you to visit this library at this time?"

The man took Feng Yu and Valo back and forth in the maze-like building complex. Feng Yu found that there were huge bookshelves in these houses and buildings, and books of different categories were piled up on them, although these categories were not very scientific.

Most of the books are sheepskin scrolls, but Feng Yu was surprised to find that there were many bamboo slips from the East, and even clayboard books from ancient Sumer. However, whether it was the sheepskin scrolls, bamboo slips or clayboards, thick dust was piled up on them. It was obvious that they were probably not touched for hundreds of years. Feng Yu believed that some ancient books that had been lost in the Eastern Land Central Plains might be found here. For example, the "History of the Six Kingdoms" and "Lu Ban" that had been burned by Qin Shihuang, the lost chapters of "Guiguzi" and "Mozi".

Varo beside Feng Yu pulled out a roll of parchment from the bookshelf from time to time, shook off the thick dust on it, and started to read it with relish. Then, he screamed and laughed happily, like a child breaking into a room full of toys. These books have all kinds of words, and Feng Yu naturally couldn't understand them, but it was not difficult to understand several languages, including Varo in ancient Greek.

Feng Yu asked in surprise: "Varo, you are so fond of these books, why don't you come to this library on weekdays? With your status and income, it's not difficult to come from Rome to Alexander or even live in Alexander for a long time."

Varo replied: "General, didn't you hear it just now? In order to reduce management costs, they only copied a small number of popular books and borrowed them from other countries. The rest of the books are hidden in the library. You also know that I am a man and don't like to make friends with powerful people. How can I get into the Alexander Library on weekdays?"

Feng Yu nodded in disbelief and thought in his heart that if the Romans who had this treasure of knowledge could be keen on thinking about philosophy and exploring nature like the Greeks hundreds of years ago. I am afraid that humans would enter modern society nearly a thousand years ahead of schedule.

Finally, Feng Yu and Varo were led to the most magnificent building in the garden. The leader pointed to the building and said, "This is the Greek Pavilion, all the books in it are from Greek books or private notes..."

Before he finished speaking, Varo had already rushed in, and Feng Yu followed closely behind. Feng Yu could not understand ancient Greek, so he could only understand the category labels of the books marked in Latin. The entire collection of books is divided into philosophy and logical thinking, mathematics and geometry, zoology and botany, physics, medicine, alchemy, craftsman skills and other major categories. Two hours later, Varo, who was covered in gray face, cheered happily again and said, "Look, what did I find! Archimedes' "On Floating Body" original! There is also "The Method of Calculation of Parabola". And this... Oh my God! The original notes of Aristotle, Alexander's teacher..."

Varo cheered. The Alexander Library is like a toy room for children to him. But in Feng Yu's eyes, it is a seed. The seed of the achievements of most civilizations in this world in the future. Whether it is a spacecraft traveling in space or a computer chip that can make billions of times a second, it will originate from this seed.
