I Made Scientific Magic

  Chapter 81 Sudden news of death (two in one)

  Dude, I'm Galileo now...

  Just as Lynn was complaining silently in his heart, a voice sounded behind him.

   "How do you feel, are you satisfied? Professor Lynn?"

   The speaker was Tik, an alchemist from the city of wizards, stroking his beard quite contentedly.

  After Lynn ran away in the name of being drunk last night, a group of professors discussed how to record the shocking experiment this morning in the form of sculpture.

   This is one of the highest honors of the entire academy!

  It means that every student who joins the Iyeta Academy in the future will be able to look up at each other's deeds the moment they enter the gate of the academy.

   Regarding the external form of this sculpture, he personally made some small suggestions, coupled with the magic of several professors and the hard work of the goblins day and night, the project was completed in just half a day.

   "It looks... well... shocking..." Lin En said against his will, but he actually felt that the artistic level of this sculpture was really average.

  Tick himself was very satisfied with this work, and he didn't hear the perfunctory in the other party's words at all. Instead, he explained to Lynn how to express a wizard's inner thoughts through sculptures on the way to the Mathematical Olympiad classroom.

  Lin En always kept a polite smile on his face, until he stepped into the classroom before changing into a solemn expression.

   After class division, the entire elite class has a lot fewer people, only forty-six people left.

  No, from today onwards there will probably be forty-seven people.

  Because there is one more Lydia!

At this moment, the halfling girl is sitting at the front of the entire classroom. Due to her short stature, the table and chairs are special, one size smaller than the others, which looks very abrupt. Lynn saw it at first sight after entering the door. It focused on her.

   Facing Lynn's gaze, Lydia didn't tremble like other students, but held up a parchment roll with great anticipation, and said impatiently. "Professor, can we start class now?"

  Ai Luoke, Pierce and others looked at Lydia with a little bit of pity and nostalgia in their eyes, vaguely remembering that they were so excited when they took the Mathematical Olympiad class on the first day.

   "Since everyone is so impatient, let's start class now!" Lynn turned to look at the gray-haired witch and said.

   "Jonny, please collect everyone's homework..."

   "I gave you a whole day, so you must have already calculated the area of ​​the Lookout?" Lynn said with a smile.

  As soon as these words came out, the classroom suddenly cried out.

  As members of the elite class of Olympiad Mathematics, each of them has a good talent for arithmetic, but the structure of the Zodiac aerospace airship is very complicated, and the airbag of the best airship is oval.

  Even though Lynn had taught the corresponding formula before and given some data, it is still extremely difficult to calculate it accurately.

  But no matter how unwilling they were, they could only hand over the draft paper of the calculation, and Lydia was no exception.

In fact, during the first half month of making the airship, every time Lynn took the time to explain the blueprints to her, he would explain a lot of geometric formulas and theorems incidentally, so her learning progress was actually no worse than that of the students in these elite classes. They want to be low.

  Lin En took a stack of parchment rolls that Jonny had collected, and frowned when he saw the first one, and said. "Debra, why is there only the area of ​​the airbag and the cockpit, but the rear wing?"

   "But you didn't give the data on the tail of the airship..." The red-haired witch stood up and said weakly.

   "But it can be calculated, can't it?" Lynn looked at the wizards present and explained.

"The shape of the empennage can be split into a right triangle plus a square. I gave you a plan with equal proportions. As long as you pay attention, you can find that a hypotenuse of the cockpit is parallel to the hypotenuse of the airship empennage. The length Also, since there is data on the hypotenuse, other data can be easily calculated by using the Pythagorean Theorem..."

   It's not easy at all... The red-haired witch is crying.

  Lin En was merciless and said directly. "Copy the corresponding formula fifty times after you go back! In addition, before get out of class is over, give me a new copy of the data!"

  All the students under the stage shrunk their necks involuntarily, and none of them could calculate the area of ​​the rear wing.

   "What is this Pythagorean Theorem?" Tick turned his head to look at Ai Luoke, and asked in puzzlement.

"It's a calculation rule discovered by the professor. For a right-angled triangle on a plane, adding the squares of the lengths of the two sides equals the square of the length of the hypotenuse..." Eloque checked his notebook several times to confirm He was not wrong, and his expression was vaguely agitated.

   Having participated in yesterday's award ceremony, he naturally knew that in front of him was a three-ring wizard and a master alchemist!

   Such a big shot is actually asking himself a question!

  Eloque felt that this was probably the most glorious moment in his life!

   "What is square?" Tick then asked, these terms are unfamiliar to him.

   "Square is the multiplication of the same two numbers..." Eloque was so sure that he didn't even look at the formulas in the notebook, and then introduced the formulas for the area of ​​circles and polygons to the master alchemist.

There was a clear look on Tick's face. When he was learning to draw the pattern of the magic circle, he also noticed similar laws, but he didn't summarize the laws of each shape like Lynn, and formed a pattern. an independent discipline.

   Some alchemists in the city of wizards like to think about these things. I heard that some people even pushed the pi to the ninth place after the decimal point. It is already so accurate that it cannot be more accurate...

  Ailok glanced at Lynn on the stage, guessing that he hadn't talked about his homework so soon, a bold idea came to his mind, looked at Tik, and said with a nervous expression.

   "Mr. Tik, some time ago, Professor Lynn invented an interesting game. I wonder if you are interested?"

   "What game?" Tik was somewhat curious.

Eloque got excited immediately, picked up the quill, and randomly drew a three-by-six square on the parchment paper. After thinking about it, he crossed out the last square, and then explained the rules of the game. over again.

   "Starting from a copper coin, must the amount of the next grid be doubled compared to the previous grid?" Tik repeated it, and then wondered why Eloke specially crossed out a grid.

   "Yes, as long as you can fill all the grids, then these ten gold coins will be yours!" Ailok directly took out all his savings, and then continued. "But any coins you put down are also mine!"

  There is a difference of one hundred thousand times between one copper coin and ten gold coins...

  Tike became more and more interested in this game, silently calculated in his heart, and then picked up a pen to fill in the square.

   When filling in the last number, Tick was surprised and said with interest.

   "Fun, really fun!"

  The seventeenth square is 65,536, so the sum of all the values ​​is...

   "A total of 131,071 copper coins!" Eloque responded quickly.

  It took more than ten seconds for Tik to add it briefly, and it was exactly the same.

  He knew from the beginning that he would lose. After all, the wizard apprentice in front of him couldn't give him money for nothing, but he didn't expect that the addition of the small seventeen squares would double the initial value by 130,000 times.

   In this way, the other party deliberately crossed out a box, is it because they are worried that the amount is too large and they will regret it?

   Tik couldn't laugh or cry, because he didn't bring silver and copper coins, he directly took out four magic gold coins and put them on the table. He was always willing to admit defeat!

   "Three gold coins are enough!" Eloque didn't dare to ask for more, so he quickly pushed one back.

   The master alchemist in front of him is not the first person to be tricked by him. After being beaten by Professor Lynn before, he went home and immediately asked his father Albert to play this checkered game.

  In the end, he theoretically won all the property in the family, and Albert still owed him tens of thousands of gold coins... But in the end, he didn't get any money, and he was beaten up severely!

   So far he has understood a truth, excessive greed will be beaten...

   Fortunately, this master alchemist is a man of his word!

  Eloque accepted the three gold coins happily, but in the next second, he heard a familiar voice from the stage.

   "Ai Luoke, since you know the formula of the Olympiad very well, why don't you go on stage and tell everyone!"

  The expression of joy on the face of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy suddenly froze, and he couldn't help shivering, and stood up slightly trembling.

  Lin En looked at him very "kindly".

  Good boy, use the knowledge I gave you to trick others, you really have a way!

  Under the gloating gazes of all the students, Eloque had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the podium, picked up a parchment, and started to talk about it with his shallow knowledge of Olympiad...

Eloque has never felt that the time is so long in his life. Under the nervousness, he has long forgotten everything in his mind. There are bursts of laughter from the audience from time to time. In the end, he was expelled after only staying on the stage for more than ten minutes. .

  Considering the learning progress of Tik and Lydia, Lynn revisited the geometric formulas that he had taught in the next class.

   When get out of class was over, Tik also gave him a gift in return, a book as thick as four fingers - "Runes and Alchemy".

  Although Iyeta Academy also has some basic alchemy books, it is impossible to compare with a gift from a master alchemist.

  Lin En flipped through a few pages. In addition to the analysis of some basic alchemy runes in this book, notes were written at the bottom of each page.

  There are so many notes, it is absolutely impossible to write them temporarily, it should be the "textbook" used to teach a certain core apprentice.

   Even so, it is a very precious gift, which means that when learning alchemy, I can avoid a lot of detours.

  Lin En said a few words casually, and put away the alchemy book.

Tik, who had just finished listening to an Olympiad class, was filled with all kinds of questions in his mind, and he needed Lynn to answer them. However, after glancing at the halfling girl who had been wandering around since the end of get out of class, he was very intrigued. farewell and left.

   "Professor Lynn!" Lydia immediately came up, put her bulging money bag on the podium with her feet on her feet, and said proudly.

   "All day yesterday, we sold 837 tickets, a total of 83 magic gold coins and 70 silver coins, all here..."

  The halfling girl chattered endlessly about the grand occasion in the square yesterday afternoon. The line of airships lined up all the way to the pier of the harbor. Everyone couldn't wait to fly to the sky to have a look...

  In just one day, so many tickets were sold. Lynn was also a little surprised. It seemed that the charm of flying was greater than he imagined.

"By the way, there is also this account book, which Uncle Darren asked me to hand over to you!" Lydia took out another booklet and stuffed it into Lynn's hand, which recorded the list of all the people who bought the tickets. It even clearly states which batch of airships are on board.

  Lin En asked Zhinao to record all these data, and then took out the eight gold and thirty-seven silver that belonged to the halfling in the purse, and returned it to Lydia along with the ledger.

   "After you go back, tell Darren that this thing doesn't need to be delivered every day, just show it to me every once in a while."

  The expression of the halfling girl became a little confused, because Lynn's reaction was different from what Darren and the others predicted. With such a huge amount, they thought that the other party would definitely ask for a daily inspection.

  Lin En didn't give any explanation either. He deliberately loosened control over money, just to see if these halflings would do some tricks secretly.

An airship is just the beginning. There will be more opportunities to earn gold coins in the future. For example, the land of wizards still uses very outdated papyrus and parchment to record words. He can earn a lot of money just by selling paper. Bowl full.

   It's just that he can't do these things himself, and he must hire some trustworthy people.

   It depends on whether these halflings can resist the greed in their hearts.

The two were chatting when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then the door of the classroom was slammed into it. Lynn turned his head and looked over. At first glance, he didn't see anyone. It was Darren who broke in.

   I haven't seen him for a day, and the unshaven halfling became much more emaciated than before. He entered the door and looked around, and when he saw Lynn, he immediately spoke out in a panic as if he saw a savior.

   "No, Professor Lynn, Ralph... Ralph is dead!"

  Relph? Who is that?

  Lynn paused for a moment, and before he could think clearly, he was dragged away by the sleeves of the eager Darren.
