Future library

Lu Anping stuffed two flying tickets into the checking knight, and pulled Zhao Quanfu in with a smile. After passing through the short corridor, the two came to the apprentices' lounge, which was close to the studio of the star warlocks. Closely connected, although the place is smaller, there are no shortage of seats and refreshments. The main reason for using apprentices to work is that it is difficult for ordinary people to identify astrological items, just like a university laboratory does not hire hourly workers to wash test tubes.

After saying hello to several star warlocks he was friends with, Lu Anping introduced Zhao Quanfu to them. At the same time, he looked around and asked, "Many people stayed here today, what's the matter?"

"Several masters have to stay up late, and everyone has to hold on hard." A younger star warlock apprentice pointed in the direction of the door and said: "Jiang Huangxing Warlock just had dinner in the studio, and he hasn't come out yet. .”

Only three-star warlocks and above can be called masters. As for level star warlocks, they will not receive special honorific titles in the world of star warlocks because of their strength.

Lu Anping patted his forehead and said with a smile: "It seems that today is indispensable."

"I've been exhausted lately..." Whenever you complain, someone will always echo you.

The Star Warlock apprentices have nothing to do in the lounge. The studious ones will read some things, and some will chat and gossip, which is called: expanding their contacts. Zhao Quanhua took the opportunity to join in and chatted happily.

In the middle of the excitement, a senior apprentice who managed them came in and said coldly: "Come three people and come with me to change the whiteboard."

"Change again..." Several star warlocks who had just entered, including Lu Anping, stood up consciously, but they couldn't help but mumble a few words. The most troublesome part of their work is to change some calculation tools and re-record the draft. Star Warlocks have different habits. Some people use whiteboards very wastefully. One formula can use up a piece of it. In order to ensure the continuity of work, Star Warlock apprentices have to copy it down in a regular manner and then complete it. Research records - if it were an ordinary servant, all kinds of symbols would be copied in a mess.

However, doing work such as changing the whiteboard can increase the chances of meeting the Star Warlock. Occasionally, you can also observe the entire research process, which is also a good experience. Therefore, it is troublesome, and everyone is still willing to do it.

Zhao Quanhua drank some wine, and with his wanton personality, when no one was paying attention, he pulled a robe from the side and put it on, and followed Lu Anping forward. High-level apprentices are usually imposing figures, similar to the cadres of the student union. The tall-nosed old man will lead the way after giving orders. When Lu Anping finds out, he will not be able to say anything.

The group of people walked towards the studio. The official residence of the Royal Astromancer is an old building, with only one large and two small workshops, plus the independent research rooms of several master-level Astromancers, it takes up a lot of space. Those astrologers who need to use large machinery will probably buy other houses. Therefore, the star warlocks who stayed in the official residence were essentially to cooperate with Jiang Huang's team members. In this regard, their existence is similar to the mathematical team of later generations - the more mathematics develops, the more it is separated from isolated intellectual activities. Jumping out, in the 21st century, mathematics teams are already extremely common.

Before entering the door, Lu Anping made a shushing gesture to Zhao Quanhua. As soon as Zhao Quanhua nodded, the high-level apprentice pushed the door open and entered.

"Records, 3856.12, 4567.13, 98675, second line from left, 3475, 1223.34, 18456..."

"Plotting Table 46-672..."

"Xiao Zhong, activate your star array and do some processing of these calculations..."

The chaotic sound of readings first broke into Zhao Quan's mind. From natural numbers such as 1, 2, 3, 4, to astronomical numbers such as 10 to the 14th power, he kept reading from the mouths of the astrologers. Seven or eight astrologers The apprentice was exhausted from recording. The senior apprentice silently collected the used whiteboards one by one from left to right, and replaced them with new ones after numbering them.

Zhao Quanwen had received elementary education in mathematics and physics, so he bravely raised his head and wanted to pretend to be interested, but at the first glance, he saw Cheng Jinzhou standing in front of the whiteboard.

With a thin body and a slightly pale face, Zhao Quanzhou was very familiar with Cheng Jinzhou's profile. He had also seen the warlock Jiang Huangxing standing opposite him several times, but he saw the two people standing at the same time as if they were equal. While discussing issues on a whiteboard, Zhao Quanmin suddenly felt that Cheng Jinzhou was unfamiliar.

On the stage, Cheng Jinzhou maintained his concentration. Everyone has a side that likes to be a teacher. When faced with simple extreme problems, Cheng Jinzhou occasionally couldn't help but say a few words. When he was a graduate student at school, these were the only things he could teach in class. The only difference was that most of the gentlemen looking up at him were several times his age.

In fact, Cheng Jinzhou really just said two or three more sentences, but in the eyes of Jiang Huang and others, the weight was suddenly different.

Due to the persistence of Warlock Jiang Huangxing, all the three-star warlocks at home have come to the studio and are doing calculations to the rhythm of Cheng Jinzhou. At this point, classmate Xiao Cheng is also a little bit stuck, because the mathematics is too sophisticated. , and calculus is too far ahead of this era.

"If we set this segment as the increment of the base length, because the two triangles are similar..." Cheng Jinzhou chose the calculation method of maximum and minimum values ​​as his main research content, thus avoiding the direct challenge to calculus. Appearance, this was designed by Fermat in the manuscript in 1629. Adhering to his usual self-collection habit, people did not dig it out from the manuscript until 1637. Now, if I tell it to Jiang Huang and others, it will not be too abrupt, nor will it affect his control of knowledge.

Even the knowledge of the mid-17th century was still ahead of the times. Cheng Jinzhou was able to make a complete design and prove it to himself, which stunned a group of star warlocks. Perhaps in their view, it is very bizarre for a teenager to decipher content beyond their understanding.

In fact, it should be bizarre.

The one present, Warlock Jiang Huangxing, could keep up with the rhythm and continued to ask: "This involves a lot of tangential issues."

Other star warlocks moved small stools to listen.

"Calculus is calculus and has nothing to do with geometric algebra." Cheng Jinzhou said guiltily. Perhaps the power of the astrologers is so great that mathematics itself has to be marked with political symbols. For example, the royal astronomers prefer algebra over geometry, while the astronomers of the outer peninsula are just the opposite.

Jiang Huang looked unconcerned, smiled kindly and waved his hands: "Go on, I don't know much about this."

Not only did he not know much, but due to the lack of a strict foundation in Euclidean geometry, the foundation of the mathematical pagoda of the star magicians was not solid at all. With the theory perfected, the Greeks at that time chose the graphics made by rulers and compasses as the basis of understanding. In addition, the astrologers also chose to use star arrays to prove that if the star arrays could be carved and used, Then it is meaningful, otherwise it is meaningless - in other words, it does not exist.

To Cheng Jinzhou, Jiang Huang's attitude was just that of a friendly and polite aristocratic star warlock, but to Zhao Quanhui, it was almost incomprehensible. This was a level 4 star warlock, a 4-star warlock, and a royal star warlock. In the corner of the room, Zhao Quanyou couldn't help but want to roar, and had to press his throat with his hands, like a cat being raped by a mouse.

Lu Anping hadn't noticed anything unusual yet. He was moving gently, changing the whiteboards one by one. The rules of the Star Warlock Apprentice did not allow him to stop and look. Due to the angle, he didn't even think about which Star Warlocks were in the middle. I just thought to myself: Today’s discussion is quite intense…

After switching to the front one after another, Lu Anping raised his head again and was immediately face to face with Cheng Jinzhou.

In an instant, the whiteboard in Young Prince Dongshan's hand fell to the ground.

The high-level star warlock who brought him here was so frightened that the star warlocks were also hierarchical. The star warlock apprentices were naturally at the bottom of the food chain. He rolled and crawled forward and saw Lu Anping still in a daze. , pushed him away and said, "I made a mistake, I'm sorry." No amount of explanation is necessary.

Cheng Jinzhou naturally saw Lu Anping, but he just turned his head indifferently and continued to talk about the maximum value. Every time you talk about a paragraph, write down the relevant formulas on the whiteboard, or deliberately highlight a few unclear points and draw graphic explanations. The two two-star warlocks were responsible for applying his formula to the framework they were studying for comparison. In order to cooperate with the two, there were four more star warlock apprentices who were busy conducting inspections and conducting calculations.

Classmate Xiao Cheng's voice was loud, Star Warlock's voice was full of uncertainty and suspicion, and Star Warlock's apprentice completed the task in a tone full of curiosity. A weird atmosphere gradually spread in the room. As the proof continued, the more correct Cheng Jinzhou was, the more the weird atmosphere expanded.

Lu Anping was pulled out by the star warlock apprentice. While he was still in a daze, Zhao Quanhui pulled him hard and asked in a low voice: "Is that Cheng Jinzhou?"

"nonsense."

"Where are the Star Warlocks next to you? I see their badges, it seems... they all seem to be cyan?"

"The three of them are all three-star warlocks, masters." Lu Anping swallowed and felt Zhao Quanfu trembling slightly. He immediately hid his fear and said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of? He is lucky. If I had the opportunity to appear in front of Warlock Jiang Huangxing, if I had two chances, I would have become a two-star Warlock long ago, why am I here now."

Zhao Quanhua trembled violently as he thought about the future and the past, and whispered: "Let's go."

"Isn't it just good luck?" Lu Anping was unconvinced. He also knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. As he walked out, he vented his anger on Zhao Quan and said: "I don't think your courage is like a **. It's milk, it's really soft."

"What do you know?" Zhao Quan's face turned red. Seeing that he was already in a corner, he gritted his teeth and said, "On the New Year's Day, I heard that Cheng Jinzhou personally beheaded a military attache, and it was... In front of hundreds of his subordinates, blood spurted out several meters away."

Subconsciously, Lu Anping quickened his pace.
