"Let me sort it out, so far you are using the concept of 'infinity' in two situations. The first is to calculate the area of a curve, and the second is to calculate the tangent of a curve."
Gottfried analyzed it on paper for Ella. He had been blown to pieces by Ella's memory before, but thanks to this, he fully understood the mathematical work Ella was doing, including the coordinate system and functional formulas created by Ella.
Ella tested it and found that he couldn't remember anything else from Ella's memory except math. In his own words, "It's so huge that if you remember it, you will really die. You can only deliberately not experience them and let them flow out of your memory."
"When calculating the area of a curve, you use countless triangles or squares to approximate it, and calculate the sum of the areas of these infinite triangles or squares. This is calculation in an infinite number of fields. We might as well put this The method is called 'integral'; when calculating the tangent of the curve, you use two points that are infinitely close to perform calculations in a subtle to infinite field. We might as well call this method 'differential' (differential)”
"Integral...derivative...why use these two terms?"
"This involves two concepts of Kabbalistic magic. Integral means completeness and completeness, and refers to the perfect whole composed of infinite qualities. Differential means difference and difference, and refers to the infinite radiance emanating from the perfect whole. A unique individual. The reason why I named it this way is because I feel that through the study of these two mathematical methods, people may be able to get closer to the perfect god."
When he was tied up in a cave by bandits, Gottfried introduced to Gregory that in addition to books such as "Chariot Techniques for Ascending to Heaven" and "The Great Hall", the Ancient Abrahamic Church also practiced Kabbalah to approach the world. gods. Compared with the former, the practice of Kabbalah is much more popular in the ancient Abrahamic church.
Ella nodded in understanding. No matter what, she felt comforted by having someone she could communicate with.
"Compared with integrals, differentials are much simpler. Unfortunately, the tangent lines of the curves don't seem to have any practical significance. So what we need to focus on now is integrals - calculating the areas under various curves. Isn't that right? ?”
"Hmm. If possible, I hope to find a general method for finding the area of a curve, completely getting rid of dependence on geometry."
Therefore, Gottfried assisted Ella in conducting research on integrals.
Gottfried's geometric intuition was far greater than that of Ella's, and he was far more experienced. The problems that Ella needed to solve with the help of functional operations, Gottfried could directly solve using geometric methods. This even began to make Ella suspect that functions are mathematical tools invented by fools.
At first, they went very smoothly. Gottfried's knowledge is like a sharp sword. All kinds of complex problems can be easily solved with its sharp edge.
However, no matter how sharp a sword is, there are things it cannot pierce. As functions become more complex, the integral monster becomes weirder and more powerful. Even Gottfried gradually felt that he was beyond his capabilities.
Gottfried pulled his hair more and more often and with more force. If he hadn't been a spirit now, his hair would have been pulled out clean.
Ella's situation was the same as Gottfried's, she looked sad all day long.
After an unknown number of days and nights, a loud noise pulled the two men back from their mathematical contemplation. The spirit beings of the ancient Abrahamic Church fled in panic, and in front of them, the spirit form of Jochebed was rushing towards them.
"No! There must be something wrong! Why can't I pass the fifth heaven? I have read everything written in the book carefully!"
Jochibe screamed loudly and seemed to be going crazy. His speed was so fast that other spirits couldn't dodge, and one of them was soon caught by him. He just pinched it with his hand, and the spirit body exploded to pieces. Jochebed raised his head, intoxicated by the knowledge coming from that spirit.
"I see, my book is missing a paragraph. And you want to finish it before me."
Jochebed was talking to himself, and suddenly laughed wildly.
"Okay, okay, you are so powerful that you are not stable even if you become a spirit body. Then I will tear all your spirit bodies into pieces! Come on, give me all the knowledge you carry!"
"Apprentice! Don't stand there stupidly!" Habiba shouted to Gottfried from a distance in a panic, "The Gnostics are obsessed with cultivating their own spiritual bodies. Our spiritual bodies cannot compete with them no matter what. his!"
However, Habiba's reminder came too late. Before Ella could get up, Jokibe rushed in front of Ella with red eyes and kicked Ella.
Ella only felt a huge force tearing her from all directions. As the two spirit bodies collided with each other, her spirit body could no longer maintain its original shape and was torn to pieces.
Jochebed once again raised his head in intoxication, wanting to enjoy the knowledge coming from Ella's spirit body.
"Here it comes, here it comes...differentiation, integral? What the hell? Functional formula...coordinate system...analytic geometry...Euclidean geometry...celestial observation records..."
It wasn't long before he opened his eyes in horror.
"Asshole, where did so much... so much come from? And it's all useless garbage! Get out of here, get out of my head!"
As more and more knowledge poured in, his whole body began to twist, as if he would soon be unable to maintain his shape.
Habiba seized this opportunity and shouted: "Quick! He can't hold on any longer! Everyone rushes towards it!"
"Um..." someone asked carefully, "Is it okay to rush over?"
"If it's not enough for him to explode, we will explode ourselves. But if we wait for him to recover, we are all doomed! The spirit body can be recovered after it is cracked, but he will definitely use it after learning the "Chariot Climbing Technique" Get rid of our physical bodies! In order to learn the "Chariot Ascension Technique" before him, we must preserve at least one complete spirit body among us!"
"let me!"
The old man's spirit body, like Gottfried's, had just recovered. But when Habiba said this, he immediately rushed towards Jochebed without hesitation. After a collision, his spirit body broke into pieces again, and Jochebed's screams became even more fierce.
"Charge... everyone rush towards him!"
Under the encouragement of the old man, more and more spirits rushed towards Jochebed in a suicidal manner. In the collisions again and again, Jochebed's body became more and more shapeless. When Gottfried also charged towards him, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted:
"laldabaoth (Child of Chaos)!"
Gottfried missed the mark. The spirit body of Jochebed had returned to his body. He looked around. Including him and Habiba, there were only five people left with intact spirits.
Habiba shouted: "He doesn't dare to come, but he will definitely seize the time to practice. Hurry, we have to race against time!"
"Um...Master, what will happen to the others?"
"Many fragments of the spirit body remain on Jochebed. If Jochebed continues to let his soul ascend to the sky, they will resonate with each other to some extent... But they have already mastered the spell of protection, so they should be able to survive it smoothly."
"But that girl has not mastered this spell! And her spirit body is incomplete. The flames, whirlwinds and rainstorms surrounding the Supreme God will definitely wipe her out completely!"
"Don't worry about her!"
"How can you ignore her! Master, please think of a way to save him!"
Seeing that Gottfried couldn't let go of this matter at all, Habiba sighed and lowered his voice and said: "Disciple, this matter involves taboos, so I will only tell you... In fact, according to some historical records, The sporadic records that have been erased from the book, the things that everyone sees when they practice the "Chariot Climbing Technique" are completely different...even including the appearance of the Supreme God."
