In the awkward and weird atmosphere, the bell rang, announcing the end of today's class. Lin looked at the small clock hidden in the corner of his field of vision in surprise. It took more time than expected to re-analyze the fireball technique. Fortunately, it was completed within the course time and there was no need to wait until tomorrow.

Lin dispersed the whiteboard writing in the air and sent the mist of power back to the magic stone that turned into white crystal. In fact, such an action is very wasteful, because the power saved back into the magic stone will only be less than what was originally released. Only about 30% to 40% can be recovered, and the rest is wasted.

But there's nothing you can do about it. These powers have no use, and letting them drift away is a waste. You can only recycle them as much as you want.

After roughly cleaning up, Lin Xiang was still sitting in his respective seats. The magicians and non-magicians who had not left the room displayed a website address for the forum and a short paragraph of disordered characters on the water mirror screen in the lecture theater. At the same time, he said: "This forum URL is built under the block of Kabamba College and is an affiliated section of the mathematics course. Those who participated in the course today can use the following password to obtain read-only permission for the first lesson. , only for those who attend the class, please do not spread it randomly. The content is the summary of today’s lecture, including all calculation processes of the improved version of Fireball. The calculation method used above is the course that will be taught in the future. But about the spell model of magic Improvement, I will only talk about it once. The purpose is to tell you that mathematics is very useful, but it will not cover this aspect in the future. I will leave the last ten minutes of future courses to answer at least one question raised by everyone. . If the questions can be answered simply, of course I will answer a few more. That’s it for today, I still have to find a way to fix the hole in the wall. After class, I’ll see you tomorrow, everyone.”

Although someone tried to end the day on a lighter note. But the students in front of them were completely unlike universities on Earth, where they would run out as soon as the bell rang. I don’t know what their silence means. Is it because the lecture just now has ruined their outlook on life and makes them doubt life? Or have you found the flaw in your words and are you preparing to fight in the ring?

"Your Excellency Tripwood." As the master of the academy, the great magician Cabanbei said.

Someone thought that the old man was going to discuss the issue of building the wall, so he quickly said: "Sir Kabambai, I will repair that hole as soon as possible, please don't worry."

"No, I'm not thinking about that problem. And you don't have to worry about damage like that. The academy has dedicated personnel responsible for repairing it." The old magician asked about another thing. "Have you done similar calculations and optimizations for all sixty-nine apprentice-level magics from one to three rings?"

"Well, no. I have only completed about a dozen that I will use. Although to become an official magician, you have to learn apprentice-level magic. But it really comes in handy and forms a personal strategy. It’s only part of it. Besides, some three-ring magics themselves are very complicated and not easy to analyze and improve.”

"The ones that have been completed, when were they completed?"

"I completed it when I was still at the Tower of the Great Sage. After all, that was the only time I had more free time, and I have been traveling since then. I couldn't calm down to do calculations during the trip."

"How long ago did that happen?"

"If you really have to count the time, it was almost five years ago." Someone said lightly.

"This..." Even though he was well-informed, the great magician Kabamba could not imagine how this man was thinking. "You actually wasted such important research for five years. You didn't even let the slightest news out."

"Is it important?" Lin suddenly smiled. Somewhat rude, he apologized and said, "Your Excellency, you take this kind of achievement too seriously. In fact, it is not that remarkable."

"How could there be nothing remarkable about this perfect spell model structure,──"

Putting out his hand to stop the great magician Kaban Bai, Lin said: "The so-called perfection itself is imperfect. Do you agree, Your Excellency?"

"Perfection itself is imperfect..." Repeating such a simple sentence, Kabamba seemed to have discovered some unclear truth. "What makes her imperfect?"

"Magic does not exist independently. So, you should understand." Lin further said: "The omnipresent powers in the world are not actually in a state of static equilibrium. In different environments, the amount of each power There are highs and lows. No matter how perfect the spell model is, it cannot avoid being affected by the environment."

It is true that after adding environmental factors, the complexity does not just increase exponentially, but becomes hundreds or thousands of times more difficult. Just looking for an answer, is it a matter of changing the environment and starting all over again? Jiujiu Bookstore

Lin added: "Besides, this is only apprentice-level magic. It's too much to require apprentices to have such control and construct a perfect spell model. Speaking of which, I was trained by my apprentice. I just realized this truth. For them, whether it can be used is more important than perfection. As for when we are actually using it, if we are in an emergency situation, we are not allowed to elaborate on a spell model. . In other words, this is just a product that can be used for teaching or research, and can be used to bluff people. This is also the reason why I have not continued to calculate all the unfinished one to three-ring apprentice-level magic."

The practical problems left the great magician Kabamba speechless. He struggled and said: "Even so, you can hand over such research results to the association and let the people who use and learn them make their own judgments."

"It just so happens that this is something that can't be done." Someone said firmly.

"Why!" the great magician said with rare excitement, his face flushed.

Someone was shocked by this, fearing that the old man would have a heart attack, so he left. He quickly comforted the other party and explained: "Your Excellency, please calm down and listen to my explanation." After saying that, his left and right hands used whiteboard pens to show the spell model of the fireball technique. Lin asked: "Your Excellency, can you tell the difference? What’s the difference between these two spell models?”

After calming down, Kabanbai squinted his eyes and observed, and after comparing the memory from the class just now, he said: "The one on the left is the original spell model that you constructed based on the association's public teaching materials. The right hand is an improved version. Although The difference is subtle, but I can still tell."

"Oh, he is indeed a great magician with sharp eyesight. Indeed, as you said, the left hand is the original one and the right hand is the improved one. Then the question is, what if I want to give the improved version of the three-ring apprentice-level fireball magic knowledge , if it is handed over to the association. When asked by the magicians who reviewed it, what is the difference in the structure of these two spell models, how can I answer?"

"Of course..." Kabamba suddenly got stuck.

This white-haired great magician was not the only one. All the magicians who attended the lecture did not leave. They had different thoughts, but Kabambai’s questions and thoughts were indeed their existing questions and thoughts. Some people even plan to seize such intellectual rights. As long as they hand it over to the association first, relying on their own network of connections, no one can shake the established fact, and this honor will belong to him.

But...how to explain to the people in the association what are the differences between the improved version of the spell model and the original version?

Lin said: "That's it. How can I explain to the magic examiner who doesn't understand mathematics that every angle and every distance of the improved spell model has been carefully calculated to obtain the most perfect balance result. And The most important thing is, can the other party or others reproduce such results? If the person learning it doesn’t know how to calculate, or even the person teaching it, can they tell the difference between the two models?”

The truth turns out to be so simple. Many old academic magicians only feel a tightness in their chests and want to vomit blood. People scolded them in a cryptic way: It’s not that I don’t teach, it’s that you all don’t understand.

Someone continued to pursue: "For the same reason, why did I have the knowledge to teach P language when I was in the Southwest Peninsula, but I didn't do it after I came to the Holy City. I didn't even choose to teach what many people wanted to learn from me, including The improvement project of the magic tower, the use of magic circles and magic runes, or the manufacturing technology of airships like the Sid. If I don't understand mathematics, what can I talk about and what can I teach you."

Among the people listening to the lecture, someone said reluctantly: "Isn't there a simpler way?"

Lin knew who told the story, but not the name. That was a magician who was much younger than the old men present. Although from the appearance point of view, the other party is still older than himself. But hearing this feeble moan, Lin laughed angrily and said:

"I don't want to learn mathematics, I just want to directly use the knowledge that can be applied in practice. This is also simple. The Tower of the Great Sage stands over there. Everything I heard about that tower has been made public again. About I have no objection to this. Therefore, if you have any need for the magic tower, please copy it, and it will definitely have the same effect. If it is not up to standard, I can only say that the copying is not serious enough or careful enough, and you cannot blame me.── "

As if speaking of coming, someone continued, "──I'm sorry about the Sid airship. There are commercial secrets on it, and I don't want to make them public so soon. After all, the Magic Tower is a weapon to protect civilization, and it has one more Strength is an extra guarantee for civilization. But if an airship design is too good and is widely circulated, it will only become a superior weapon in war, and the gap between powerful and weak countries will become more obvious. I have a small nose and small eyes, The peace of Lost Land has nothing to do with me, nor does it mean that I won’t hand over this knowledge. It’s just that at what price are those who want it willing to pay in exchange?──”

Glancing around, some people are moved, others are thinking. It looked like he was asking for a price. Lin sneered.

"─I think a magic tower, in exchange for the complete design of the Sid, is a very reasonable transaction condition. Other than that, I won't consider it. As for the flashing technique, which is the elusive magic rumored to be, it is related to the World Tree. The results of research together with Waldwal. It is impossible for me to make that knowledge public to the world without the consent of that one. As long as someone obtains the consent of that high seat of the Turtle Dove Alliance, I will immediately offer the complete set of knowledge with both hands, Never hide anything. Or does anyone think they can capture me and directly seize the knowledge in my mind?"

"Yes, why not give it a try." A provocative voice came from the crowd. At the same time, there are also power fluctuations that directly touch the sensitive nerves of all magicians. Almost instantly, the lecture hall was filled with colors, and all the masters activated their magic protection!
