$162, First Draft of the Masterpiece (Please Order the Whole Work)

The book "Guns, Germs, and Steel" that Bai Gui was going to write was a mixture of social anthropology, archaeology, and linguistic anthropology, so he entered Professor Shiraishi's school for the research content of the Ministry of Education's Archives.

The academic achievements of the University of Tokyo may not be as good as some schools in Europe today.

But in the Far East... it is undoubtedly the most advanced at this time!

"Guns, Germs, and Steel is a historical work that can only be written based on the Internet and information sharing in later generations, standing on the shoulders of giants..."

"For example, the first part of From the Garden of Eden to Cajamarca, the first chapter describes what happened on each continent in 11,000 BC, and the second chapter describes how geographical factors shaped the society of the Polynesian Islands... Every data concept on it would shock the academic community if it were thrown out today, so some content must be deleted..."

"But some content is available in today's classics, such as the comparison, evolution, and domestication of various animals and plants. These can be traced in the materials. Many contents have been discovered, but no one has summarized them..."

Bai Gui picked up the Parker pen, rested his hand on the plain white paper, and thought.

He now has a photographic memory, and the research materials in the library of the Department of Literature of the University of Tokyo and some materials of later generations quickly began to be compared and analyzed in his mind.

Some necessary data, no?

Don't worry, you can make reasonable deductions based on ancient historical materials and existing materials.

Very soon.

He began to write the preface of the book.

The original content of "Guns, Germs, and Steel" is undoubtedly quite lengthy. Bai Gui reduced it a lot and modified it in words, simplified it, and then discussed it in his own language.

Not long after, the preface was written.

He started writing the first and second chapters.

When it was close to evening, he finally finished writing the two parts.

Bai Gui read the manuscript carefully, and after finding no omissions, he stood up and handed the manuscript to Professor Bai Shi for review.

"Mr. Bai Shi, this is the story I wanted to write a few months ago. Now that I have enough materials stored in the library, I have finally finished it. Please correct me."

He said.

"Oh? Mr. Bai's new work?"

Professor Bai Shi smiled, he took off his glasses first, wiped them carefully with silk cloth, wiped his hands again, and then picked up the manuscript and read it carefully. The more he read, the more frowned his eyebrows became, and the more solemn his expression became.

See some content that I don't understand.

He stood up, took out some books from the bookshelf, and flipped through them.

Then he nodded slowly.

Then he continued to read.

He spent more than three hours reading this manuscript of 60,000 to 70,000 words.

Many professors and teaching assistants in the library were also surprised by Professor Bai Shi's behavior at this time.

But he did not interrupt.

Be patient and wait quietly.

"This is a historical masterpiece! It is impossible for a non-genius to write such a masterpiece!"

"I didn't expect that Mr. Bai not only studied ancient history well, but also wrote a masterpiece like the Qin Empire, and even modern history is so good. You have read so much information in the library, and you have written such a masterpiece. It is also very painstaking..."

Although he only read the preface and the content of the two parts, Professor Bai Shi concluded that this manuscript will definitely be a famous masterpiece in the future based on these tens of thousands of words.

It is impossible for a non-genius to draw such a detailed conclusion from such vast historical materials and research materials!

"Professor Shiraishi, you are too polite. If you hadn't given me this platform and let me follow you, I wouldn't have been able to enter the library of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of the University of Tokyo, nor would I have been able to search for so many cutting-edge materials..."

"This manuscript also has the hard work of Mr. Shiraishi and many professors of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, as well as the hard work of professors of anthropology and archaeology in various countries..."

Bai Gui said. Gu

Now he has written enough of this masterpiece.

He doesn't mind thanking Professor Shiraishi and the professors of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

In fact, this is also true. Without so much research data collected by the Library of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, his writing of this book is equivalent to rootless duckweed.

There will definitely be doubts!

But... if there are more affirmations from so many professors of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

The fake is also true!

Another point is that writing this work may also anger some people in power. After all, this is to analyze the evolution of the path of civilization from a macro-historical perspective, which is somewhat contrary to the ideas promoted by the people in power...

Of course, this problem is not a big deal. Although Japan is now the pride of Asia and the only country that has not become a colony, it is also discriminated against by the powers in the international community. This work is also a slap in the face of Europe.

But if no one stands up, it will die in the womb!

With the support of Professor Shiraishi and other professors of the Ministry of Education, it is equivalent to the support of the academic community, and some troubles will be solved.

"What do you mean?"

Professor Shiraishi was a little moved. Although he disdained to seize the works of his students, this work was too powerful. If he could mention his name in the preface or at the end and thank him, his name would definitely be passed down through the ages.

Although he studied the history of Japan, subsequent students should remember his name, but they just flipped through it.

How can it be compared to this kind of "gift to Wang Lun"...

Since ancient times, fame and fortune have moved people's hearts!

"This book I wrote was also guided by Professor Shiraishi, and I should thank you..."

Bai Gui smiled and said.

"What virtue do I have..."

Professor Shiraishi muttered a few Chinese sentences in a low voice, with a look of shame on his face.

To study the history of Japan, one must study Chinese historical materials, and Sinology is a must.

I will repay you with a gift.

He thought for a while, walked to some professors of the Ministry of Education who were eager to find out the truth, and began to recommend this draft of the novel, hoping that they could also sign one or two.

These professors basically have experience studying abroad.

Without experience studying abroad, you can't get a job at a good university, especially the best and top university in Japan, the University of Tokyo.

For example, Fujino Yanjiurang, because he had no experience studying abroad, had to leave Sendai Medical College and make a living after it was merged into the University of Tokyo School of Medicine.

So these professors basically have Western ideas, which are seriously separated from some Shinto culture in Japan. Most people don't believe in the nonsense that the emperor is a descendant of God...

"This manuscript is good, I recommend it!"

A professor of anthropology nodded and signed his name.

In modern times, disciplines are not as finely differentiated as in later times, so professors often have a high status in the academic world and are well-known among the people. They cannot be said to be as well-known as celebrities, but a professor's signature recommendation is also something that many works want to have...

They are also commonplace!

"This manuscript is indeed good, I think I can recommend one or two."

A professor of archaeology nodded.

This is Professor Bai Shi using his connections to pave the way for Bai Gui.

There is nothing wrong with writing historical novels on ancient history, ancient history is just those contents, and everyone can verify it. But the novel "Guns, Germs, and Steel" cannot be written, because it involves some modern research materials. Without the nod of these professors in the academic world, some people will question whether it is written correctly.
