Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 107 Handover and Practice

The handover ceremony is very simple, yet grand.As the receiving party, King's College, Cambridge University sent the dean and the head of the college library to attend the ceremony.

In addition, the school newspaper of Cambridge University also sent reporters to conduct simple interviews.When facing the interview, the Lewis couple seemed a little excited.

After all, this is an interview with a school publication of a top prestigious school in the world. It is always an honor to be able to leave your own traces because of this treasure hunt.

However, this is a school newspaper after all, and it tends to focus more on academic content, so after a brief interview with other people, the school newspaper reporter named Mary immediately focused on Liang En.

So under the reporter's repeated questioning, Liang En could only briefly introduce his previous experience in translating ancient Egyptian, and by the way revealed that he was writing a book summarizing the ancient Egyptian language.

After listening to Liang En's clear and concise description of his experience in deciphering ancient Egyptian texts, and breaking a little bit of news.Mary nodded in satisfaction, and then brought the content back to the discovery of Turing's relic.

"My main job other than translating those ancient Egyptian texts is to find all kinds of treasures. This time, after discovering Guan Turing's treasures, I contacted the school as soon as possible, hoping that these things can be returned to its original state. where it should be."

"I am very happy to see the treasures of Turing, a great scholar, displayed by the University of Cambridge in the future, and hope that everyone can think about future technology and certain orientations in this regard—"

I have to say that the various mandarin phrases that I have heard since I was a child in my previous life are indeed very useful, especially after combining the future direction of mankind and the most popular zzzq in the Western world.

At least after hearing what Liang En said, the reporter Miss Mary felt very satisfied. Compared with other people's messy answers, Liang En's answer could be put directly in the newspaper, saving her a lot of trouble.

After finishing the interview, Liang En and the others came to a small room on the side of this office.Then the school personnel in charge of general affairs transferred to them the money stipulated in the contract that belonged to Liang En and the others.

"Mr. Turing's treasure is two standard 500-ounce silver ingots, so according to the prior agreement and today's silver price, you should get 11000 pounds." When transferring the money, the staff member explained.

"It seems that Turing at least didn't lack money back then." After leaving the room, Pierce raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice. "A person who could have a fortune worth 1000 ounces of silver in those days was definitely not a poor person."

"That's for sure. Three members of the Turing family have been elected members of the Royal Society. His grandfather also received an honorary degree in mathematics from Cambridge University. From the perspective of his origin, he is not an ordinary person."

"And he himself is very good. He was admitted to the University of Cambridge at the age of 19 and became a researcher at King's College of Cambridge University at the age of 23. It can be said that he is an absolute genius."

"If this is the case, the other party can understand if they have money." Fan Meng interjected at this time. "A talented bachelor who has a very good family inheritance and does not spend a lot of money can definitely save a lot of money."

Just talking and laughing, the five of them drove back to the residence of Lewis and his wife in Cambridge together.Unexpectedly, in the end Mr. Lewis only asked Liang En for a symbolic penny.

"This treasure hunt is enough for us. Compared with a few thousand pounds, it is obviously more important to see our names appear in the Cambridge school magazine." Mr. Lewis explained why he did this.

Obviously, for a rich man like Mr. Lewis, tens of thousands of pounds is obviously just a small amount of money.So he is naturally willing to show his generosity when he has already obtained enough benefits.

Of course, this is also related to Liang En being a well-known scholar now.So in the eyes of this Mr. Lewis, this is enough for him to give up this part of the income and make a good impression on him.

"Now we have reached the stage where we can earn money by using our face." After returning to his car, Liang En laughed.Then he shared the money with Fan Meng and Pierce.

Pierce got £1100 from the deal because he was the introducer of the business.As an employee, Fan Meng received £150 as a bonus for this trip.

It has to be said that the gains from this operation were very mediocre in terms of money, but it was very valuable to Liang En himself.At least after acquiring new skills, it will obviously be much more convenient for him to write the next book.

After returning to London, besides writing books, Liang En's main job was to practice the use of Turkish bows, maces and firearms.

After all, there will be many opportunities to explore places where the light of civilization has not shined in the future, so it is not a bad thing to learn some things in advance.

Ever since his body was strengthened, Liang En has suddenly become a lot more proficient in using these ancient weapons.Among them, the most improved training is the mace. After all, hitting people with a stick is a basic skill engraved in human DNA.

The next best thing is the use of firearms. After all, although modern weapons are more complicated in structure than similar ancient weapons, they are much simpler in operation.

The only thing that is somewhat difficult is the use of bows and arrows, but considering that the skill of archery is still valuable even today, Liang En still puts a lot of time into the training of this skill.

"There are fewer and fewer young people who are still willing to learn how to use this ancient weapon." In a comprehensive gymnasium, an uncle of Turkish descent from Germany watched Liang En skillfully shoot ten shots. After the arrow praised.

"Honestly, in my native Turkey, there are basically not many people who are willing to learn this ancient skill, which is really a sad thing."

"No way, Uncle Maimaiti, times have changed." After finishing a wave of training, Liang En said while sitting on the side to rest.

"On the one hand, everyone is very busy, and they really don't have much energy to learn something that has little practical use in modern society. But on the other hand, almost everything related to this skill has disappeared."

"To give the simplest example, let's not talk about the scarcity of archery halls and places where you can practice archery. It is difficult to find suitable stores to sell bows and arrows alone."

“Let’s say I want a traditional style Turkish bow with all the construction replaced with modern materials, but I can’t find it on the market. Either it’s a purely modern bow, or it’s a purely traditional bow.”

"Then why don't you choose to order a bow?" the uncle named Maimaiti asked. "If you order, you can make a bow that suits you best."

"You're right, but I really don't know anyone in this area." Liang En shrugged helplessly.

After all, no matter whether in the East or the West, such things are a very small circle, and it is indeed difficult for outsiders to find corresponding personnel.

Even though it is the Internet age, the level of so-called craftsmen on the Internet is also uneven, so it is not so easy to find the right manpower.
