After bidding farewell to the children, Mag and Luna walked side by side for a while in Aden Square under the setting sun. Amy and the ugly duckling played hide and seek in front, and the laughter like silver bells spread throughout the square.
Luna and Mag were talking about the sensation and heated discussion caused by the decimal system and the nine-nine multiplication table in the Lodu mathematics community. Mathematicians in the Los Empire are verifying the feasibility, because this base algorithm was used when the mainland currency was unified. It has been applied once, and it can be regarded as a collection of the results obtained after the collision of different mathematical civilizations by mathematicians of various races.
However, in addition to its application in currency, the Los Empire still maintains its own sexagesimal arithmetic tradition, just like the elves still use the hexadecimal arithmetic system.
Although the decimal system was derived from the brainstorming of mathematicians across the continent at that time, it has never received attention and extended exploration. In their view, the algorithm of the decimal system is more cumbersome and difficult to understand, and it even needs to be converted into sexagesimal system again. Calculation.
It can be said that those mathematicians fell into the so-called traditional constraints and strange circles, and never thought of starting with the decimal system. This also led to the fact that this most advanced and simple algorithm was still only used in the monetary system decades after it appeared. .
The multiplication table proposed by Mag can quickly calculate single-digit multiplications. Even children can easily use it as long as they are proficient in memorizing it.
This disruptive algorithm and discovery is undoubtedly an earthquake for the entire mathematical world. The simple arrangement covers all single-digit multiplication operations, which is enough to solve all single-digit multiplication problems and is enough to easily cope with life's problems. Many questions about currency.
If it can be extended to tens and hundreds digits, the speed and efficiency of operations will definitely far exceed that of other base systems, and it even provides the possibility of three-digit multiplication, which is almost impossible to achieve in sexagesimal systems. Even Mr. Field can only do the simplest three-digit multiplication.
Therefore, during this period of time, mathematicians from the Los Empire gathered in Luodu to discuss this issue. There were several large-scale debates about whether to abandon the sexagesimal system and comprehensively reform it into a decimal system.
The reformers see an infinite future in the decimal system, while the conservatives believe that the decimal system is just a false proposition that has not been verified. The fact that no one has studied it for decades has explained everything. Now an unknown guy throws it out casually. The so-called multiplication table actually wants to overturn the tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is simply unreasonable.
Mag couldn't help but smile as he listened to Luna's description. He didn't expect that a multiplication table he threw out casually would cause such a sensation in the world.
"Mr. McGonagall, I originally wanted to go see you today. Regarding the reform of the decimal system and the verification and promotion of the multiplication table, my grandfather was on the side of the reformists, so he wanted to invite you to come. Luo Du, explain to everyone the origin and feasibility of these things." Luna stopped and looked at Mag and said seriously.
"That may not work. Mathematics is just a hobby for me. I can't leave the restaurant and run to Luodu to teach them the multiplication table." Mag smiled and shook his head, looking at the peace sculpture in the center of the square in the distance. , two white doves landed on the olive branch, and said calmly: "Bringing guests a wonderful culinary experience is a mission for me."
Luna looked at Mag's side face. The golden afterglow shone on his body, as if covered with a light layer of golden sand. Yes, he was a genius mathematician, but he was also a genius chef. Compared to After all, it was a pity that the world was missing such a chef. He felt a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mag, for making such an unreasonable request to you."
"It's okay. Miss Luna's grandfather was committed to promoting the popularization of arithmetic and was a great educator. If he needs anything, he can ask me at any time." Mag smiled and shook his head. It wasn't that he was pretending, it was just that If he abandoned the restaurant and ran to Luodu, the system would probably go crazy.
Moreover, after finally arriving at the City of Chaos from Luodu, he didn't want to go back there so quickly and stand in the middle of the whirlpool again, who knows if he would fall.
At this time, correspondence is naturally the best choice.
"Thank you, I will convey your thoughts to him." A smile appeared on Luna's face again. Although Mag didn't want to go to Luodu, it would be good if he was still willing to continue to provide his thoughts and ideas. news.
The two continued walking for a while. Mag originally thought that Luna would mention something about the assistance of these children, but she didn't expect that she didn't mention a word from beginning to end, which also made his favorability increase a lot.
This girl is as clean as the white silk scarf on her shoulders. She can do good deeds herself, but she won't ask others to do the same.
As the sky gradually darkened, Luna bid farewell to the two of them and went back first. Mag also took Amy and walked towards home. When they walked to the center of the square, they saw a row of four meters standing on the side near the street. On the high magic crystal wall, several magicians were directing the workers to debug and install it.
"Starting tomorrow, it will be a war." Mag looked at the crystal walls with a bit of anticipation in his eyes. These should be preparations for the competition for the food rankings in Aden Square starting tomorrow. Rankings are not something that should be done. Forget it, since I have to do it, of course I hope to get closer to the front.
Back at the restaurant, there were a few customers at the door looking at the notice. When they saw Mag returning with Amy, they quickly came over with some concern and asked: "Boss Mai, I heard that the restaurant was vandalized, are you okay?" Bar?"
"It's okay. The thugs have been captured by the Gray Temple. The restaurant has been slightly damaged, but it will not affect tomorrow's business." Feeling the concern of these customers, Mag felt a little moved, and shook his head with a smile.
"Yes, the bad guys were all burned by Amy's fireball!" Amy nodded and said.
"The little boss is the most powerful." Everyone laughed when they heard this. It was good that both Mag and Amy were fine.
"Boss Mai, you see we haven't eaten at this late hour, why don't you make us something to eat? If the new products are ready, why not..." A bald man looked at Mag with a smile, and behind him Although the words were not spoken, they were self-evident.
"I'm sorry, something like this happened today. My young heart was greatly hurt. I need to calm down and take a rest, so I need to take it easy today and calm down. Everyone, please come back. We will open as usual tomorrow. New products will be released. Food." Mag refused calmly and took Amy into the restaurant.
"This..." The guests looked at the closed door and looked at each other.
"Forget it, I'd better be considerate to Boss Mai at this time. I just heard that there was a big explosion in the restaurant at noon. A group of dozens of thugs surrounded the restaurant and smashed it. = Gray Temple sent They were suppressed only after the army came over." A little old man on the side said, turning around and leaving.
"So scary? Let's forget it. Let's look forward to tomorrow's new dishes. You have to come early to line up."
Then everyone dispersed.
