When the time came, the debate began.
This debate, which has lasted for two months, started with a tense atmosphere and quickly entered a heated state.
…
"The hexadecimal system is a precious legacy left to us by our ancestors. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of our human ancestors. It has played a very important role in thousands of years of history, and has even affected the reproduction and survival of human beings.
To this end, countless mathematicians have worked tirelessly on research and exploration, constantly enriching and expanding the depth and breadth of this field, before it has reached its current height.
This is the brightest star in the history of mankind. It is the result of the joint efforts of all the greatest mathematicians in human history and will guide mankind to move forward. And you, now want to replace it with a low-level algorithm and give up all the achievements of your ancestors. What a stupid behavior. "
Sitting among the conservatives, Alma, who had a large black mole between her eyebrows, looked at Byron and others with some mockery, her words full of superiority.
The conservatives nodded one after another and looked at the reformists with contempt.
These guys don't know why they are so crazy after Byron. They actually want to innovate the system and start such a big battle. It is simply ridiculous.
The decimal system is only used in currency in the Los Empire. The arithmetic community has always scorned this. They feel that such a simple algorithm is not bothering to study at all. If it were not because currency is common throughout the Norland continent, the decimal system would not even be used in the first place. Appeared in Los Empire.
Byron is the deputy minister of education and has the highest status among everyone present. However, even with his status, it is still difficult to implement the decimal system reform. It can be seen how deep-rooted the hexadecimal system has been in the arithmetic world of the Los Empire. A spot.
This incident has recently become a joke in the academic circles of Los Empire. Lord Byron is considered a highly respected old man in the academic world. He is close to the age of retirement, but he has made such a fuss. He is afraid that he will be ruined in the academic world. a laughingstock.
"The decimal system has a simplicity and efficient calculation method that cannot be compared with the hexadecimal system. When combined with the matching Maimi multiplication table, the calculation efficiency is increased countless times. This is undoubtedly of great significance for the promotion of arithmetic. The incomparable advantages of the base system. If the decimal system is replaced by the hexadecimal system and the Maimi multiplication table is promoted, it will greatly improve people's intelligence, promote arithmetic, and even allow all civilians to learn arithmetic!"
Liszt, the youngest scholar of the reformist group, said with some excitement, a blueprint seemed to have been opened in front of him.
"Common people? Haha." Sitting next to Alma, the fat Aloy curled his lips with some disdain, "How can such a noble thing as arithmetic be learned by those lowly and stupid civilians? Arithmetic is a noble thing. Exclusive noble art, what we should do is to keep those ignorant people stupid. Who allowed you to improve the people's intelligence? The more those ignorant people know, the more ideas they will have, which is not a good thing. "
Liszt's expression changed, and he slowly clenched his fists. He was born in a down-and-out aristocratic family, and entered the Bauhinia Academy with excellent results. With his amazing talent in arithmetic, he became a Bauhinia Academy at the age of thirty. A professor at the academy and the youngest professor at Bauhinia Academy.
When he was young, his gambling grandfather lost the manor, so he lived with his father and mother in an ordinary residential area in the north of Luodu City since he was a child. He lived a life that was no different from ordinary civilians, and had the appearance of many civilian children. playmate.
Therefore, in his mind, civilians are not equal to enemies.
However, the aristocratic system restricted their development, and the inability to enter aristocratic schools closed the last door for them.
As Aloy said, the education in Los Empire can only be called the education of the ignorant people. The nobles receive the best education and become better elites, but the common people do not have the right to receive education and live in ignorance. The world This has been true for generations.
Liszt also understood that the common people who worked hard to fill their stomachs every day did not have much extra money and free time to receive education and learn knowledge that would not allow them to obtain food in a short time.
However, if the decimal system can replace the hexadecimal system and the Maimi multiplication table is popularized, even civilians can quickly master all arithmetic within ten, which is enough for daily use.
Quantitative changes must bring about qualitative changes. When enough civilians master the decimal system, it will definitely promote the entire human race.
Arithmetic is by no means an art that a few people pretend to be elegant. It is a tool that should be used in life and production. However, he was unable to convince the masters who had a very high status in the academic circles of Los Empire.
Byron looked at Aloy and said in a low voice: "The education we do is not education for the ignorant people. Education for aristocrats has been popularized for many years. What we need to do next is to start piloting and selecting some talented children among common people. They educate and make them the pillars of the Los Empire.”
"After all, civilians have stupid blood flowing in their bodies. Even if they are given the opportunity to learn, they will not be able to become leaders. Our Arithmetic Association held a meeting yesterday to vote. More than 90% of the members are opposed to the reform of the system. It is the attitude and determination of the arithmetic community to retain the hexadecimal system.
Moreover, the so-called multiplication table proposed by an unknown guy, which has not even been rigorously verified, dares to challenge the hexadecimal system that we have adhered to for thousands of years. If we change it, wouldn't it mean that the entire continent The laughing stock? If the arithmetic inheritance of the Los Empire is broken, can you afford this responsibility? "
Elton, who was sitting aside, sneered, looking at the reformists with an extremely aggressive look.
The reformists fell into silence, and everyone looked at Byron. Only Lord Byron was qualified to accept such a big hat. Even he might not be able to bear the weight of it.
Luna, who was standing at the door of the hall, wrung her hands together and looked at Byron anxiously. This was a hole dug by Elton, but Byron was destined to lose whether he jumped or not.
A smile appeared on the faces of Alma and others, as if they had already foreseen this result.
"Sorry, I seem to be late?"
At this moment, the door of the main hall was suddenly pushed in from the outside.
A young man was holding a cute half-elf girl standing at the door. The half-elf girl was holding an orange kitten in her arms.
