"This is the Beaumont library. It has existed since 1895. Oh, my God, my grandfather's grandfather may not have been born at that time!" Two cars drove directly from Texas Air Force base across the desert to Beaumont, which is the nearest city to the air force base, but it was noon when Bob and them started in the morning and arrived in Beaumont.
The intercontinental highway passes through the desert, but it's not as easy as the highway in Huaxia. Beaumont is the nearest city to the air force base. In addition, there are only a few small towns and gas stations in different places from the air force base. No one knows why the air force base was built in such a place where birds don't die.
"Look for it!" Zhao Fugui looked up at the library with a long history and said to the people in the action team that all the people in the action team are here. Few people want to stay in the air force base to bask in the sun.
The architectural style of this library is very old. There are two thick pillars standing at the entrance. You have to walk up more than ten steps to get in from the main entrance of the library. However, after you go in, you find that this library is quite modern, and it is spacious and bright, and the light is very good. It seems that the investment of American people in this kind of public facilities is quite good.
"Where can I look up the books? I'll ask!" At this time, Li Wei pointed to a nearby manual service desk and said that there was a computer there, which seemed to be able to directly query the location of books.
"Go and find out if there is such a thing as the Dead Sea book!" Zhao Fugui nodded and said. Li Wei's eyes hesitated. She found that Zhao Fugui looked at her. She subconsciously grasped her collar. She didn't dare to look at Zhao Fugui face to face. She hurried to the labor service desk.
Li Wei's English is very good, and there is no problem communicating with the librarian here. At this time, there are many people in the library reading books. It seems that there are at least hundreds of people in the huge library. Some people notice Zhao Fugui and they look curious. It is not very common for so many Chinese people to come to this kind of public library together.
"She said there was no index to the Dead Sea book!" Less than a minute later, Li Wei shook her head and said to Zhao Fugui.
"No?" Zhao Fugui frowned and looked at Bob. Bob shrugged and showed his helpless expression. Is this dead sea book just a code or something?
"Captain, I, it seems that I read the Dead Sea book when I used to look up the information!" Tao man raised his hand and said in a low voice, "I'm more interested in theology. I've consulted many ancient religious books before. I remember that I should have read the Dead Sea book!"
"In which book did you read it?" Zhao Fugui didn't expect that Tao man had studied this, so he asked immediately.
"It's like the old Bible!" Tao man explained that "the present Bible is divided into the New Testament, the Old Testament and the Tanah, but the New Testament, the Old Testament and the Tanah are not complete. They only recognize and record part of their own recognition, and delete a lot of things. There are no dead sea books in the New Testament, Old Testament and Tanah. I remember only in the oldest complete Bible
"What is the oldest Bible? Can I find it here? " Zhao Fugui frowned again. It seems that this kind of thing is either in the hands of some collectors or should be kept in the national archives. An ordinary library is hard to find.
"There are two kinds of the oldest Bibles, one is called the book of Marcel, the other is called the book of the dead sea. Because this book was found in a cave near East Jerusalem by the dead sea, it is called the book of the dead sea. Maybe there is some connection between the book of the dead sea and the book of the dead sea!" Tao man said.
"Ask them if they can find the two volumes here!" Zhao Fugui said that if there is no one here, Bob can only think of a way.
Li Wei nodded and communicated with the librarian. The librarian inquired on the computer, then nodded and said a few words to Li Wei.
"She said that there are manuscripts of the ancient manuscripts of marcelli and the dead sea, which were donated in 1938. When these two manuscripts are precious collections of the library, you need to apply at least one month in advance, or have the approval of the city hall to check them immediately." Li Wei turned her head and said.
"You have to apply one month in advance to read a broken book, not to see the Queen's crown!" Bob felt on his body discontentedly, took out an FBI certificate, patted it on the table and said, "what we are doing now is related to national security. We need to see those two ancient volumes immediately!"
The librarian looks at Bob in surprise, and Zhao Fugui is also surprised. Unexpectedly, Bob even has FBI ID here.
"Just a moment, agent, we're going to ask!" The librarian was just a little surprised, and then began to make a phone call. Obviously, the FBI certificate is not as easy to use in China as the national security agency Certificate in the United States.
"You have FBI identification? Is this true or false? " Zhao Fugui asked in surprise.
"Of course, it's true. This thing can be found directly in their database, but we are only shadow agents. Under normal circumstances, we can't use FBI resources! In addition to FBI documents, I also have CIA, homeland security, National Narcotics administration, coast guard, National Guard, Marine Corps documents! " Bob said triumphantly."Yes, please come with us!" After a while, the librarian took the key with Zhao Fugui and they went to the depth of the library. When they came to the corner at the end of the first floor of the library, a downward staircase appeared. The stairway was locked by an iron fence door. After opening two doors, the librarian took Zhao Fugui and they entered the underground floor. "The more precious books and transcripts are stored here, but you have to find what you are looking for, because we only list the serial numbers of the books after 1960, which is a huge and tedious work, and we haven't started yet!"
When the librarian turns on the light, the dark underground library appears bright. It is not much smaller than the upstairs. Rows of large bookcases fill the whole space. There are at least tens of thousands of books in storage.
"God, this is a big project!" Bob murmured.
"If you need to go out, ring the bell. I'm leaving!" Said the librarian, holding the key. She left the basement and locked a door by the way.
"Let's start looking for them and find them as soon as possible!" Zhao Fugui did not expect that it would be the result, so he had no choice but to say.
