Before the renovation of the new home has come to an end, Lin is about to have his first class.
The reason why it is so fast is because the first batch of students have already been identified. Those who signed up included all the magicians teaching in the academy, including the great magician Kabamba and his wife, as well as some well-informed people. The latter type of person may be studying in the academy, or someone who pays special attention to someone's movements. Among these people, there are those who sincerely seek advice, and of course there are also those who are ready to find fault.
Some people are not afraid of this. Behind me stood Liu Hui, Zhao Shuang, Zu Chongzhi, Gauss, Newton, Archimedes and many other Chinese and foreign greats. If I were still failed by this native of the mathematics desert, I could only lament that I was not good at studying. , It’s embarrassing.
Because it was my first time teaching, and I was busy with things about my new home, I didn’t have time to go to the college to pay a visit to the dock and get familiar with the environment. Therefore, for Lin's first lecture, the great magician Kabanbai carefully sent a carriage to greet him.
For such a battle, one can only admire him. He is indeed a master. The pomp is really complete. It's different from the kind of wild mage who rolls in the mud and never gets a meal. Thinking back to the time when I first traveled through time, the life I lived squatting in a manure pit waiting to plot against uncivilized goblins was like another world.
Because the new home is not far from the college, I still gritted my teeth and endured the uncomfortable feeling of riding in this carriage for the second time. The last time I sat there, I bumped all the way to the house of the great magician Kaban Bai. Not to mention Fen complaining, I even regretted it. On the way back, he declined with various excuses, and ran away using the flash technique as soon as he got out of the gate.
This time I sat down again because I was unfamiliar with the place. I had to rely on the help of the great magician Kabambai to arrange everything, so I just asked him to arrange the whole set. This saves you from making demands everywhere and expecting the other party to cooperate, which makes you seem very uncooperative. Leaving a bad impression is not a good thing for the future.
As soon as you enter the gate guarded by the iron golem, the style of Kabamba Academy is strongly visible. Similar to universities with considerable history in Europe on Earth, this place feels like a palace complex. With marble columns and various decorative and carved cornices as the main tone, it gives people a heavy and solemn sense of sanctity.
Considering the current state of the Lost World, nature is still stronger than civilization. Therefore, people who are obsessed with the earth will not be obsessed with constructions such as park landscaping like the earth. However, there are a lot of green landscaping in the college, and they are carefully organized and planned with a strong European style. It's like the magicians are preaching that I will conquer nature.
There is a considerable distance between the buildings, just like a king who cannot tolerate others beside him. Each building stands alone. But according to the driver's introduction, this is actually to prevent students or magicians studying inside from conducting magic experiments and unfortunately losing control, so that the out-of-control magic will not spread to other places.
Through the introduction of the driving attendant who seemed to be very powerful, Lin also had some ideas about the vast academy. Of course, secretly opening the map is indispensable.
At the same time, I also understood why Kabanbai chose to build the academy outside Estali. Because in the old city, near the hotel where I lived before, it is impossible to have such a large area of open space for construction.
The carriage arrived in front of a building that was small and inconspicuous compared to other buildings. According to the waiter, every building in the college will be named according to the courses taught there. In addition to teaching, magicians who serve as teachers will also be provided with a rest room, which can be freely arranged inside. Similar courses will be gathered in one place, which also makes it easier for teachers to communicate with each other.
When someone heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. Not only was this department established, but it also had a territory. It was indeed becoming more and more like a university.
The place where the driver took Lin to was one of the few vacant buildings in the college, temporarily allocated to 'mathematics'. If a larger space is needed in the future, it will naturally be moved to a larger building. As for the unsaid lines, I guess if no one reads it in the future, then get out of the academy.
In short, in today's Mysteryland, the academy's system has not yet been fully clarified, and many things are still subject to change. And this small building in Kabanbai College is the starting point of Mathematics.
This 'small' building - although it is small, is exaggeratedly larger than the houses that ordinary people live in - there are three classrooms in total. There are two classrooms on the first floor on the right after entering from the main door. Classroom; the second floor is the lounge for teaching magicians, which is divided into four rooms and can be adjusted at any time.
On the left hand side there is only a large lecture hall. The design was of course from the handiwork of someone in the Southwest Peninsula, the original college that had closed down. I heard that someone took it over later, but Lin didn't care.
Generally speaking, only buildings that provide enlightenment education have such classrooms, because they can accommodate more students at a time. But today was special. There were quite a few magicians and non-magicians who applied to audit. Ordinary classrooms couldn't accommodate that many people, so we found this building with a lecture theater.
The system of auditing is to choose to attend only one class, which is different from those who pay more fees and plan to study for a long time. To put it simply, these people may become customers as soon as they hear it, or they may turn around and leave.
Entering the lecture theater, there was no applause, no flowers, and of course no music. What greets someone is a pair of sharp eyes like eagle eyes, as if they are about to pierce through the person. As for the number of people, maybe those few small classrooms can't accommodate them, but it's not so large that they can fill up the lecture theater.
Lin didn't show any pretense and went directly to the podium without introducing himself. Because the protagonist today should not be myself.
In his first sentence, Lin asked everyone present: "Why do you want to learn mathematics?"
It seems that this question is a question in many people's minds, and it is even an issue that they are ready to attack. But someone asked first. Looking around at everyone, it was obvious that he had a good head start. Among them is the great magician Kabambai sitting in the middle of the front row. He does not think with critical thoughts, but seriously thinks about this question: Why?
Lin continued: "Many of you here are my seniors, and they are far better than me in magic. So I will use magic to try to explain why we need to learn mathematics."
Seeing those people who were originally ready to make a move settle down and want to see what they have to say. Lin was also unambiguous. He used his own magic whiteboard technique to draw a three-dimensional geometric model similar to a molecular structure in the air of the lecture hall. He explained: "What you see in front of you is a spell model structure, how it looks in detail. I believe everyone can see that this is the standard structure of the three-ring apprentice-level magic, fireball."
At the same time, Lin used the Water Mirror Technique screen in the lecture theater to display all the Fireball Technique pages in the association's standard textbook. Most of the above are text descriptions. If an apprentice wants to learn magic, he must rely on the teacher's explanation and imagination, as well as countless attempts and efforts, trying to construct a spell model that is difficult to present in detail, so that he can successfully cast the fireball spell.
If this three-dimensional diagram could be shown directly to the apprentices, I wonder how much effort would be saved. So regardless of the mathematics, many magicians feel that the structure and magic displayed in front of them are worth the price of admission.
But Lin Ke did not end there. Instead, he explained step by step how the description of the fireball technique in the association's public textbook was transformed into the three-dimensional diagram. And how much power should be poured into each node to exert the maximum power mentioned in the textbook.
After the apprentice-level fireball technique was completed, Lin said: "Apprentice-level magic is recognized as the most stable spell model, the easiest to cast, and the most powerful magic. Most people believe that there is no room for improvement in apprentice-level magic. .Is that really the case?”
Most of the magicians present sneered at such a rhetorical question, and no one took up what the lecturer on the stage said. Waiting to see the other party make a bigger embarrassment, and another wave of anger will make him unable to stand up.
Lin changed his subject at this time and said: "Before discussing the improvement of the fireball technique, let me first introduce to you a sequence that I think is the most beautiful. As we all know, power is actually eight kinds of unnameable and ubiquitous powers that are everywhere in the world. The things mentioned. Knowledge, power, authority, faith, wealth, dexterity, perception, mystery. Have you ever thought about the relationship between the eight powers.──"
As he spoke, Lin took out a magic stone of the lowest grade, the Red Brilliant Grade, and shook it in front of everyone.
"──Is there anything special when power is in a balanced state?"
As he spoke, Lin used a trick that wasn't even apprentice-level magic to force the power out of the magic stone and turn it into eight colors of light mist. This is a demonstration that every magician will make when teaching his apprentices. The intention is to allow apprentices to 'see' the existence of power more intuitively, and then understand the basis of meditation and feel 'power'.
But this time, Lin forced out all the power contained in the red magic stone until the magic stone turned into white crystal. However, it is not about letting the power overflow, but about restraining it. And with a familiarity, he separated the eight groups of interlaced light mist of different colors,
When he saw the smallest ball of black mist, Lin reached out to catch it and kneaded it into a small cube. At the same time, he said: "Everyone's understanding of powers is that some are more and some are less. The black group represents mystery and is also the rarest power. We shaped the mysterious power haze shape into a long, wide and high All the same cubes, treat them as one unit. Then look at how many units the other kinds of powers are equal to."
Because it is consciously catching more from less, the second captured power haze is purple perception, which is shaped into two unit cubes. Next are dexterity, four cubes; wealth, eight; faith, sixteen; authority, thirty-two; strength, sixty-four; and knowledge, one hundred and twenty-eight. Capture all the light mist, a total of 255 units.
Everyone was dazzled by this operation, but there was nothing surprising about it. Because they can do it themselves, even better and faster. But, what is the purpose of doing this? Explain which powers are less and which are more?
