A person who is busy with the magic silk business may not be indifferent to external affairs, but he is not so sensitive to changes in the outside world. So for those origins, I have neither discovered nor cared about them.
On the one hand, it is also because the one who is at the forefront of overcoming obstacles is the idealistic old magician Kabambai. The old man has a strong body and a strong head. With the number of disciples and disciples, he can just carve out a piece of the sky. This is something that someone cannot do. He just hitched a ride with the old man, made some soup, and lived a happy life.
At this moment, he had just finished his math class. Lin took a breath into his hands and rubbed them again.
Spending the winter in the holy city of Estali for the first time, or the winter of having a new home, felt very different. I think back to that winter last year, when the airship was killed... Although no one was seriously injured, the feeling of being blown by the wind and snow in the mountains for a whole winter was also sour and refreshing.
The progress of mathematics courses has slowed down recently and is not as rapid as it was half a year ago. Sometimes one proof will take half a class; after two proofs, the whole day's class is over. However, the knowledge extending from mathematics has also begun to increase.
The students in the course formed one study group after another to discuss some problems that did not belong to the field of pure mathematics. This is similar to Fen's life course. The group of life priests from the Three Saints Church and the magicians who study healing techniques also work in small groups on their own small topics.
As a place where the results of life research topics are published, the journal 'Life' has also begun to be published. The general approach is similar to that of mathematics journals, but more people care more about the research results of 'life' than pure mathematics. Since it was announced publicly in response to popular demand, it would be very difficult to limit the purchasing qualifications, so we simply did not restrict it. The dual authentication mechanism for taking classes has also been lifted.
Even so, the number of people taking life classes could not increase. The main reason was that the lich was impatient to take too many students. Of course no one dared to object.
However, with the consent of the former Demon King, the students of the life course started a short one-hour life course at Kabanbai College or other colleges to teach what Fen once taught so that more people can learn about life. people can learn from it. Of course, part of the tuition fees received will be paid to Finland.
For a moment, it gave someone a sense of the direct selling industry, where the upline leads the downline, and the upline takes a cut of the downline...
Never mind, that's always a good thing.
After each class, Lin would stay a little longer to discuss some mathematics-related issues outside of class. He even put the classic unsolved problems of mathematics on the earth at the back of the mathematics journal for everyone to brainstorm. Of course, he also admitted that he did not have a good answer to these difficult problems, and he did not even know if there was a correct answer.
It's like the Riemann Hypothesis that Fin once solved, but no one can say whether the answer is right or wrong. After all, my real major is astronomy and physics, and pure mathematics is really not enough. Over time, Fen's interest in the study of pure numbers also faded, because there was no one to discuss such high-level issues.
After the after-class discussion, Lin walked home on his own feet for the rare occasion. Wearing a heavy fur coat, I enjoyed the feeling of snowflakes floating on my body on the road. Along the way, I almost always spread my palms out to try to catch the falling snowflakes.
Growing up in a subtropical environment, I have only seen snow scenes on TV and in movies, and I have only experienced them a few times. Although I have encountered such a snow season more than once since I traveled, my mood this year is particularly different.
As for what was different, I couldn't explain why, so I just kept walking.
The college was not far from my home. Before I got tired of the little games on the road, I arrived at my new home in the holy city. The iron fence at the courtyard gate is controlled by an arm constructed from a golem and can be opened and closed automatically. There is an electric bell on one side of the door for visitors; there is also a biometric sensor switch that allows logging in and out...
Well, I am still not used to the strange technology tree development in this magical world on the side of Lost World.
However, someone did not use the biometric identification system, even though he only needed to place his palm on the sensor orb to open the iron gate through fingerprints, palm prints, blood lines and other identifications. The fingerprints and palm prints are understandable, but the blood prints are something created by Fen. The principle... I don’t understand. Anyway, the reason for not using biometrics is not that I don't trust the system, but because the door opening and closing speed is too slow.
So when someone walks to the door, he activates the flash technique as soon as he takes a step, allowing himself to reach the other side of the door. Just coming to the courtyard feels a little different from my usual home.
Usually, at this time before dinner, the two lawless boys would be playing in the courtyard. According to the mother of one of the brats, Vanna, it was better than letting those two brats cause trouble in the kitchen or dining room.
The reason is too strong to be denied.
But I didn't see them today, not even the black dragon Augustus who would follow them and watch over them.
Could it be that he entered the silkworm coop to play a prank? Lin was thinking this as he entered the long house on the side of the courtyard.
In fact, the improvement of the jacquard machine and the research on the formula of moth silk thread have already achieved a phased result. The silk cocoons of ordinary moth species and the silk cocoons of magic moth species are blended. The enchanting effect and silk thread strength are average and superior among all formulas. Moreover, the growth and reproduction speed of the selected ordinary moth species and magic moth species are quite fast. It can be regarded as the most suitable formula at this stage.
Of course, relevant research has not stopped, otherwise it would all involve cross-breeding, which is an endless research road. Now that there are phased results, Lin is ready to accumulate the number of silk cocoons of the target formula and start the stage of weaving and making clothes. Now in this silkworm house, the target moth species is being reproduced in large numbers and their silk cocoons are being collected.
However, there was no experience of such large-scale and intensive breeding before, so the silkworm coop was listed as a forbidden area for the two little ones to prevent children from running in and causing trouble, which would increase unnecessary pressure on the larvae and thus affect their growth rate. It's just children, that's the thing. The more they are prohibited from doing something, the more they like to do it secretly.
So Lin Huang entered the silkworm coop, looked up and saw the dead head of Fen's favorite general from thousands of years ago. Shi Dong was suspended from the ceiling in the center of the silkworm house. The hanging silk thread seemed to have penetrated directly into his head, passed out from the cross section of his neck, and then wrapped around it and tied a knot...
Anyway, this stitched corpse is still alive and serves as the 24-hour monitor and security guard of the silkworm coop. In fact, there were so many magic moths in the silkworm house that did not rebel. In addition to a black dragon wandering around outside, the natural suppression of Shi Dong, the former commander of the Guards of the Dark Legion, also contributed a lot.
Looking at the dead man's head who was spinning around and not feeling dizzy, Lin asked: "Shidong, did you see those two little ghost heads running in?"
"No." Shi Dongyan replied concisely.
"Then why is there no one outside?"
"We have a guest, looking for you."
"Looking for my guest?" Lin looked at the situation in the silkworm house with doubts and left after finding nothing wrong.
As I walked towards the main house, I thought about what kind of guests I could have visiting? Matters related to mathematics have always been solved in the academy. For those who came to ask for mathematics advice, after I politely declined a few times, they no longer came to me.
Was that for the printing press? It's just that I leave this aspect of business to Uzov with full authority. I don't know anything about the people who come to my door. Anyway, except for the design and control procedures, all the parts were made by craftsmen from the Technology Guild, and I had never made any of them myself. Even if you come to find yourself, you still have to entrust the technical guild in the end.
But as soon as I walked in and came to the living room, I saw that everyone was not doing anything, but just gathering around and talking.
Without thinking much, I took a closer look. Hey, it's really a visitor.
Four cats, one cat and one chair, all with their heads lowered. Amid everyone's pointing and touching with their hands and feet, I didn't even dare to say a word. Three smaller calico cats, someone unknown. But the gray bald cat with scars looked familiar. It was Hardy who went into the abyss with him in the cat forest a few months ago.
But before he showed off his power, this cat looked like a millionaire and didn't take "people" seriously at all. Why come back now, like a grandson who has been taught a lesson, with his little head lowered, not daring to say a word.
"Hey, isn't this Hardy? Long time no see." Lin greeted.
"Sir Tripwood, you are finally back." As soon as the gray cat heard someone's voice, he raised his head with joy and wanted to jump under the chair. But Augustus snorted a long sound with his nose, and then he shrank back and sat down on the chair obediently.
I dare say that he was targeted by the black dragon and was so frightened that he couldn't move. Lin smiled and said: "Brother, don't scare them. I know Hardy well, and I can be considered a comrade who has been through life and death together. How did you find him?" The latter sentence naturally asked about the gray cat.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the black dragon that had transformed into a human form from the corner of his eyes. After seeing that the other party didn't respond much, he said: "These kittens want to find you and have to leave the forest. I brought them here as a last resort."
The smile froze, and bad memories immediately came to mind. At the same time, a flash appeared in the box, and he was holding it in his hand! Lin looked around warily, looking for a certain cat.
On the contrary, Augustus, who had a stiff face, smiled and said: "Oh, I'm going to kill the cat. There are exactly four of them here, one for stew, one for braise, one for soup, and the oldest one uses barbecue. .”
Their lives were at stake. Even though the cats were afraid of the dragon's power, they immediately jumped up and meowed in protest. Hardy said even more nervously: "What are you going to do, Your Excellency?"
"Where's that annoying female cat?" Lin frowned and asked.
"You mean Mao Ni, she didn't come. Even if we were coming to find you, she didn't know." Hardy explained quickly.
Someone stared at the gray cat with sharp eyes and asked, "Are you sure?"
Hardy said decisively: "I'm absolutely sure!"
