The popularity of the ratings brought confidence and pressure, but it did not affect Chen Ergou's life too much.

He began to devote himself to solving the riddle of the parchment.

Everyone has their own special abilities and things they like from the bottom of their hearts, just like flying birds in the sky, fish swimming in the water, or flying insects in the grass. Human plasticity is the strongest, so everyone has their own unique talents.

Maybe Chen Ergou doesn't like solving puzzles. He didn't even know what he liked before, but now he knows that he likes adventure and the process of exploring the unknown.

There is only one parchment, and everything else is unknown.

Some simple and wonderful symbols on the parchment, several seemingly scribbled but solemnly drawn intricate maps, and the looming Latin words below seem to contain some mysterious religious information, perhaps there are metaphors, codes or special connection method and so on. Everything constitutes a huge puzzle, and he needs to use everything to explain, think, and then get the answer he wants.

Like the truth, or something even more exciting: treasure!

Reverse the track of time, uncover the dusty soil to find the truth.

It was getting late, the curtains in the room were drawn tightly, but the lights inside were still brightly lit. Goudan cast a light curtain on the wall, and was nervously doing an analogy analysis, when a frustrated expression emerged, saying: "Host, I have compared all the charts saved on the Internet, as well as medieval charts, and I can't find any matching ones. The place engraved on the parchment."

Chen Ergou's eyes were red, and he pinched his chin and thought, "Is there none? Could it be that medieval charts are relatively rare, and most of them are not stored in digital form."

Goudan said: "This possibility is not ruled out. If that is the case, there is nothing I can do."

"Not busy yet." Chen Ergou shook his head and said, "This kind of map may be kept in a large library, and I have time to scan it back."

There have been too many similar fruitlessness these days, and he has long been used to it. I didn't expect to solve the riddle successfully in one day.

Walking around the room holding his chin, he continued to analyze: "Actually, there are no clues, according to the information I got from Rom. His ancestor was a Belgian officer who was ordered to dig diamond mines in Africa. It may be that pirates encountered pirates on the way to go or on the way back to escort the goods, and then a scuffle won the trophy of the machete. The battle location may be at sea, or in an offshore port or a group of islands and reefs. The Congo Basin in Africa With the huge Congo River basin, will it go inland?"

"There are also a few suspicious points that are worth noting. Should pirates fighting on the sea use this small machete? Shouldn't they be better at fighting with long knives? On the contrary, this machete is an African style. Land There are many on the Internet. So it is not certain that this scimitar was intercepted at sea."

Goudan said: "Host, do you suspect that this knife is not owned by pirates?"

Chen Ergou nodded and said, "It's possible, but I don't want it to be. If that's the case, things will be really complicated."

"Let's summarize first: let's make inferences based on several keywords such as Africa, Belgium, the King's Army, the Rom-Gonwizi family, diamond mines, etc., and check whether there is any relevant information for these keywords."

The fixed image of Goudan is usually a glowing egg. Recently, he likes to use rhubarb’s Q emoticon to replace some similar emotions. After receiving the order, a burst of data flows quickly on the light screen, and the result is soon. "Found it, the Berlin Conference of 1884 may have something to do with it."

"Open it for me to see."

The amount of information is huge, but Chen Ergou looked at it very carefully, and after a while he pondered:

"The Berlin Conference in 1884 is indeed a clue, in which several world powers discussed the partition of Africa,

The Congo Basin, rich in ivory and minerals, was claimed as a private domain by King Leopold II of Belgium at the time. Later, he was ambitious to develop colonies, which resulted in huge debts, so he needed to introduce foreign capital to fill the vacancy... During this period, British capital was introduced, and there were many exchanges with other world powers. The five years from 1884 to 1888 were the most frequent time period for the Belgian navy to travel to and from Africa. "

"So focus on comparing and analyzing the historical charts after 1884 or the shipping route maps from Belgium to and from Africa. Based on your database, there should be no information that cannot be compared. So I am more worried about the description on this parchment scroll. It is not a map in a broad sense at all, but a map of mountain roads or tunnels within a specific place name."

Goudan showed a comforting emoji, which meant to tell him not to worry.

Chen Ergou smiled wryly, rubbed his forehead, and said, "It's a pity that I'm not a professional archaeologist..."

"Dog, can systematic archaeological knowledge be cheaper? Medieval European archeology alone sells 2 million popularity points, isn't it too expensive? I only have a total of 1.2 million popularity points now."

After the system was updated, the popularity statistics system was launched, and the way for him to gain popularity was not limited to live broadcasts.

He doesn't quite understand the specific calculation formula, but he probably knows that this kind of popularity statistics is related to how many fans have spent on him, how much time and how much money they have spent on him.

Goudan immediately put on a righteous expression, and refused: "Don't even think about the host, the mall model of the smart terminal system is not discounted. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. I suggest that the host exchange it directly."

Chen Ergou shook his head, and did not agree with Goudan's suggestion. Because archeology is a comprehensive subject, perhaps only medieval European archaeology can not meet the demand, he needs more and more information to confirm, so that good steel can be used wisely.

Now I hope to start broadcasting the third episode as soon as possible, so that I can store a little more popularity.

Looking at the time, it was already too late.

He is dizzy now, and his efficiency is not necessarily high. Simply lie on the bed for a while, "God, I'm going to interview candidates tomorrow, remember to wake me up."

"OK. "

Chen Ergou fell asleep on the bed, and was not awakened by the sound of Goudan's music until mid-sun.

I quickly checked the time, nine thirty, so late!

It was really late last night. Today's interview officially started at ten o'clock in the morning. Even though he was the boss, he didn't have the habit of being late and making others wait. Time was tight.

I called my younger brother and asked him to buy it early and wait at the door of the company before rushing to the bathroom.

Save time by brushing your teeth while showering. After taking a shower, he put on his clothes, jumped into his shoes, rubbed the razor on his face with one hand, and gathered up the printed materials on the table with the other hand, closing the parchment , and went out the door.

When he arrived at the entrance of Tangren's Company, he was a handsome guy with great spirit again.

"Brother, your bread."

Chen Xiaohu was also wearing a suit of formal attire, which seemed to be the same. When he was admitted to Beijing Film Academy and chose to major in photography, he was destined to be a behind-the-scenes worker, unless one day he could achieve the level of Lao Mouzi, from photography to director. Chen Ergou casually took the bread and took a bite, then casually asked him if he was used to it.

Cai Yinong was waiting for him, so he came up to him and said, "Why do you have bloodshot eyes, haven't you been resting well recently? I have preliminarily screened the applicants for you, and the rest is up to you to decide."

"Thank you, Miss Cai, I'm fine."
