The book on the table is an introductory set of P language. Because it was already a book, Lin did not ban the two girls from watching it. In order to speed up and deepen their memory, they used the most troublesome method, which was to copy books.

So far, they have copied two or three sets of physical books in P language, all of which were requisitioned by an unscrupulous teacher as a favor. This is not giving away another set.

Perhaps all the wry smiles he had never used in his life were used up on this day. Spiller looked at the elegantly written and beautifully bound books on the table. P Language and Mathematics, he had already obtained the forum version from the association.

Although he does not have the status of a magician or an apprentice, he can still entrust some magicians he has good friends with to purchase relevant knowledge from the South Tower. The association does not prohibit such behavior. As long as one person wants to know, he will pay the price.

Master Spiller read this set of books. Although it was not difficult to understand, there were a lot of things that needed to be memorized, but he was at a loss. This confusion is precisely the confusion about the future of the profession of astrologer.

He paid attention to Gebrash Tripwood quite early. Two and a half years ago, the Tower of the Great Sage killed the inspector of a small team of the Cadiz District Branch. 'The kind of magician who occasionally appears' was the first title Lin received.

The kind of magicians that occasionally appear refer to magicians whose magical talents are not good and whose reputation is not good. But after getting a magic tower, it can display its strength that no one could have imagined. This kind of magician has one thing in common, that is, they are extremely smart, and they are not foolhardy. Although he may be a little nervous, he will react violently at the slightest sign of trouble.

Since the astrologers became independent from the magician branch, the two parties have always despised each other, but have a disconnected relationship. Compared with the images in the fantasy stories that Lin had read, the magicians of Lost Land were not completely synonymous with words such as wisdom and erudition. Many magicians have learned all the apprentice-level three-ring magic, and in the following days they rely on their muscles, or muscles filled with magic, to solve problems.

On the contrary, people who have no magical talent but are unwilling to give up become astrologers. What these people have in common is that their intelligence will not be lost to the magicians; it is this arrogance that makes them unwilling to give up this path and keep wandering outside the threshold. But talent, a natural thing, cannot be forced.

Because they cannot use magic, astrologers are always threatened by magicians with their muscles; however, some magicians only know how to squander their talents, but are not willing to calm down, study and improve their magic skills. Astrology The teachers even called him a reckless man.

It is precisely because he does not think that his wisdom and knowledge will lose to those magicians, so Spiller has been looking for ways not to rely on magic talent.

Now the answer seemed to be right in front of him, but he hesitated to move forward. The reason is simple, because this answer was not thought up by them, but was delivered to them by others. And it doesn’t seem like an option they can freely choose, it seems like they are being forced to go down this path. But can we succeed if we really go for it? Or is this just a trap.

For the other person here who has made some calculations, getting to this point should actually be regarded as a mistake. At the beginning, Lin didn't think so much. In other words, he simply does not have the overall view. Who could expect that a person who had been a homebody for half his life, and then struggled to get ahead at the bottom after time travel, would be able to look at the world with a smile and guide the world. For many things, he relies on the knowledge from the earth and just goes with the flow.

As for the group of astrologers in Lost Land, they are also somewhat inferior. Although it is important, it is not directly related to life. Simply put, they will be respected, but they will not reach the level of a life-saving person like a priest. Of course, in terms of financial income, there are often problems with food and clothing.

Therefore, the vast majority of astrologers will continue to create their own added value. Being knowledgeable is one of them, and becoming a staff member of a politician can be said to be the best way out. Not many people can maintain their lives by simply observing astronomical phenomena and predicting the weather for the next week.

However, the prediction process is not only complicated, but also has different prediction directions due to sudden changes in various astrological phenomena. So every time a new week begins, astrologers have nothing to do, but they have to start carefully observing astronomical changes to prepare for predictions.

The closer to the time you want to predict, the easier it is to get accurate prediction results. However, it is meaningless if it is too close, so the minimum standard for an astrologer is to be able to give the weather changes for the next week three days in advance to be considered a qualified astrologer.

So it can be imagined that after doing the heavy preparations and delivering the results, there is not much time left for astrologers to make some extra money. And the three-day qualification is actually the minimum time for astrologers to find a second source of wealth to support themselves. This is also the highest threshold for entering this profession. Those who couldn't cross it all left.

It can be said that astrologers who can cross this threshold, whether they follow the right path or go astray, are guaranteed to be intelligent. And they won't be some old-fashioned academics or stubborn people. In the course of hundreds of years of development, astrologers have been constantly looking for more accurate prediction methods and are committed to creating more possibilities for the profession of astrologers.

But even in such a culture, there have been many amazing astrologers in history, but they were unable to develop mathematics, logic, and more theoretical and systematic astronomy. This puzzled Lin very much. But if you think carefully about the culture of magicians and astrologers, this result is quite natural.

People who can't be magicians become astrologers. To put it bluntly, this was a group of losers from the beginning. In this context, they attach great importance to and protect their own things. In addition, there is no one like the great sage Atoli thousands of years ago, who advocated that magicians should pay attention to communication and inheritance, and established the prototype of the operation of the Magician Association. Therefore, the most common thing these genius astrologers do is to protect their research and knowledge into the grave.

Thinking about the ancient civilization of the earth that is said to be five thousand years old, where things like the Yue Wang Sword, Qin Crossbow, Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse, and Tang Mo Dao finally ended up, it is not difficult to understand that after hundreds of thousands of years of development, the astrologers in the lost land are still like this bird. Such root cause.

Putting aside the cultural issues within astrologers, at this moment when the foundation of the entire profession is shaky, would it be good to incorporate these people into a new system?

These people are ambitious, motivated, and have brains; they are able to deduce the future from the complicated and irregular rules, and their logical and reasoning abilities are beyond doubt. Looking at all the groups in the world of Mystery, who is more suitable to change careers and become programmers than astrologers!

Now that there is a suitable group, the remaining question is whether Lin is willing to hand over this knowledge...

No need to ask, of course the more programmers the better. With one person... now two people, if you want to realize the dream of playing Assassin's Creed in Lost Land, it may be even more elusive than finding the Earth and returning home. Maybe even if a whole pixel game comes out, you won’t be able to see it in your lifetime.

Adhering to the concept of open source for the earth, the more people participate, the more brilliant sparks will be possible. This is Lin's attitude towards procedures. As for technological exclusivity and leadership, that’s bullshit.

If you look at how many sneaky figures there are around you recently and what their purpose is, it is not difficult to understand the principle that "every man is not guilty, but he who has a treasure in his possession is guilty". Treating things as treasures, and after such things are left on the street, everyone depends on their own abilities. Which one will be more secure for Lin's safety?

As for learning some basics, then start working on some large projects? So no one will come to trouble someone for this reason?

...Hmm~, the natives of Lost Land don’t understand. There is nothing wrong with letting them dream. Moreover, the threat to their own lives can be postponed until they discover this fact. What's wrong with that?

In short, you have to eat one bite at a time, so it is right to learn how to get started first. If you don't know variables, loops, and conditionals, even Bill Gates can't do it if you want to write Windows. Maybe Jobs can, after all, this big shot is the kind of person who speaks his mind.

I won’t mention the gossip about celebrities on Earth here. Lin Ben, with the happy intention of pushing people into the fire pit, looked at the miserable old man who was speechless for a long time. He couldn't help but reflect on himself, had he gone too far? But this arrangement is the best choice for everyone.

But Lin, who has not been a newcomer to society for a long time, doesn't know that everyone has their own considerations. What I think is best may not be best for someone else. Simply put, the world does not revolve around me, let alone what I think will be.

So you can’t get carried away, and you can’t push people too hard. In terms of the general trend, whether astrologers jump into this trap or not, or whether Master Spiller is willing to lead the entire group of astrologers into jumping into the trap, Lin will definitely release the killer weapon of programming language.

One is to divert the artillery fire concentrated on oneself, and the other is to hope that more people will devote themselves to this work. Maybe people who learn to program don't have a magic tower that allows them to show off their talents. But the programming language of the Lost World is the same as the Earth, with unlimited possibilities.

Among other things, the few projects Fen has been busy with recently, apart from helping someone develop a program to simulate astrology, are trying to create a set of instant messaging software. Of course Lin had told her how harmful this kind of thing would be when it came out. But a certain lich said domineeringly: "I write it for my own use and don't make it public, can't I?"

Of course, my sister. Even if you're not playing with one of the four guns, you won't have any objections.
