Xu Kai didn't expect Huang Tu to be serious.

"Are you really going to sleep in the dirt?"

Huang Tu nodded seriously.

"...Have you never thought that waking up with a gray face every day is unsightly?"

"A scholar can be free from all dust."

"But you are still a child!"

"It's okay, just get up early in the morning and take a shower." Huang Tu patted the wooden box again, very satisfied.

"I won't inspire any special hobby in you." Xu Kai pondered, thinking whether he should bury the pornographic picture in the ground.

The two of them bought the items and walked to the National Academy of Sciences.

Huang Tu put the purchased things in his own box and carried the box on his shoulders. Seeing this, Xu Kai put his own things into Huang Tu's box.

"What are you doing!" Huang Tu shouted.

"You haven't called me daddy yet."

"You can't live with this, right?"

"Can't you just pass by after you scream?"

Fortunately, Xu Kai's conscience was not completely wiped out, but he and Huang Tu carried the box together.

There were many people living in the National Academy of Sciences, but this was the first time they saw someone carrying such a big box.

Isn’t there a wardrobe in the National Academy of Sciences?

"What is this?" someone asked curiously.

Xu Kai thought about the purpose of this big box and replied: "Coffin."

The man was shocked. He didn't expect his new classmates to be so determined. He had heard of fighting to the death while carrying a coffin, but never heard of fighting to the death while carrying a coffin.

Huang Tu kicked Xu Kai angrily: "Can you say something auspicious? This is obviously a bed!"

The man was even more puzzled. He didn't know how such a big box could be used as a bed, and there was obviously a bed in the National Academy of Sciences.

He watched the two men carry the box away, and then saw Xu Kai taking out a bunch of things from the big box and walking towards his room, while Huang Tu was carrying the box and dragging a shovel towards the back hill of the National Academy of Sciences.

He followed curiously.

There must be something extraordinary about entering the State Council as a child, and maybe he can get a glimpse of it.

But Huang Tu came to the back mountain and dug soil.

Is it really a coffin?

But he quickly gave up the idea because he saw Huang Tu putting all the excavated soil into the box.

When the soil in the box reached about 85%, Huang Tu carried the box back again.

The box filled with soil was much heavier, but Huang Tu, who had experienced the addition of literary energy, could still bear it.

Not long after, Huang Tu had returned to his room. He tidied it up briefly and stretched.

"Well...it's better to go to bed early on the first day here. From now on, you have to study hard every day."

It looked like he was going to sleep.

But Huang Tu jumped directly into the wooden box and lay down flat on his back!

The man was dumbfounded as he watched Huang Tu lie down and bury himself in the soil, with only his head exposed. There was a pillow on the soil, and the head was resting on the pillow.

After a while, there was a slight sound of snoring.

"... He really is a strange person."

The corner of the man's mouth twitched. It turned out that Huang Tu was not just talking nonsense.

Thinking like this, he came to Xu Kai's room again and knocked on the door.

A boy with two questions is worth much more than a scholar like him. He felt that he should persuade Xu Kai. The so-called red is red and black is black when you are close to red. With people like Huang Tu who have abnormal brain circuits, he said Maybe this boy with two questions on the armor, which is rare in the Dali century, was taken astray.

"who?"

"I'm Luo Haowen from Class C, and I'd like to meet the rumored head of the case, Mr. Xu."

"He's the best in class A. Don't just give him the title of the best just to save trouble."

"……Been taught a lesson."

"Are you also here to learn from me?"

"It's different... I wonder if Mr. Xu can open the door first?"

"That's right, I'm sorry." Xu Kai opened the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Luo Haowen saw the sheets of rice paper spread out by Xu Kai. There were many repeated contents, and they looked like copybooks.

He nodded secretly, Xu Kai's calligraphy was poor, but as long as he practiced more, he could always improve. It seemed that Chief Xu had not been affected by the pornographic pictures for the time being, and he had a tenacious heart to worship the saint.

He looked carefully and found that Xu Kai was copying "Du Shaoling's Collected Poems" to practice calligraphy. He glanced at it a few times and was suddenly stunned.

Luo Hao asked and pointed: "What is this?"

Xu Kai turned around and realized that the other party was referring to the "Collection of Poems of Du Shaoling" he had spread out on the table.

Maybe it was because of the wind, maybe it spread out on its own, but I don't know when I turned to the first page of "Collected Poems of Du Shaoling".

There is a portrait of Du Fu on that page.

In Tianyan Continent, this is actually normal. The collected works of a certain important figure often include his or her own portrait, in order to spread his literary name and make it easier for him to practice.

But the most important thing is that the portrait is the one in the textbook of the previous life. This is why Xu Kai bought it.

Xu Kaixin felt a little thump in his heart, thinking that this was going to be bad.

The old habit from my student days happened again!

I saw that the portrait of Du Fu had been altered by Xu Kai, holding an AK47, an RPG rocket launcher on his shoulder, an eye patch on one eye, a hideous scar on his face, and a cigarette in his mouth.

"What is all this mess?" Luo Haowen's head was full of questions.

Xu Kai made too many changes, and there were modern weapons that people in this world could not recognize at all, so that Luo Haowen didn't even recognize that this was Du Fu's portrait, but he just thought it looked familiar.

Fortunately, Xu Kai secretly thought that desecrating a semi-saint was a serious crime in the strict hierarchy of Tianyan Continent, so he coughed twice and said, "This is my self-portrait."

On the northern border of the human race, a semi-saint suddenly sneezed.

"Self-portrait???" The question mark on Luo Haowen's head seemed to get bigger, "Do you look like this?"

"This was when I was young, when I was still very thin." Xu Kai became calm and composed again.

"Young?" Luo Haowen looked at Xu Kai's face that looked so young, with an expression of disbelief.

"Actually, I have a dual personality. This is a self-portrait of my other personality." Xu Kai put on the last patch.

Luo Haowen looked at Xu Kai with pity.

He also wanted to remind Xu Kai not to be influenced by pornographic pictures, so that he could finally rest assured.

What can a mentally ill person be affected by?

He closed the door for Xu with concern.

The next day, rumors that Xu Kai was mentally ill spread throughout the National Academy of Sciences.





A month passed.

Xu Kai behaved very normally, and rumors that he was mentally ill gradually subsided.

But Xu Kai was very unhappy because he had studied hard for a month, but his literary spirit had not increased at all.

It’s not that he is impetuous. He only wants to see obvious results after studying hard for a month. It’s just that his previous foundation was really poor. He basically had zero foundation in the Four Books, Five Classics, and the Six Arts of the Gentleman. According to Mr. Wang Xin, this kind of In this case, the initial literary quality will be very weak, but as the learning goes, the literary spirit will grow rapidly until it reaches an average level. But now let alone rapid growth, there is not even visible growth.

But Xu Kai's literary talent is full of talent, almost comparable to that of a scholar, and it doesn't look like he was weak in literary talent at first.

However, he had expected this situation.

No matter how much he studied the classics, his literary quality did not improve at all, but after giving lectures to Chen Shuiran and Ming Zhixing that day, his literary quality actually improved significantly.

This also means...

"Come and write a book!" Xu Kai bought a lot of paper and said to Huang Tu.

Huang Tu looked at Xu Kai as if he were looking at a fool.

"You are just a child, and you just want to write a book? Just rely on your three laws of mechanics?"

Xu Kai patted Huang Tu on the shoulder: "You can help me now, and I can let you have sex for nothing in the future."

Huang Tu didn't understand the meaning of Er Zuo, so he just looked at Xu Kai sympathetically, thinking that this kid might have finally gone crazy after a month of being sarcastic and ridiculed.

Unlike me, I went out to drink with those people, then fell down after drinking and asked them to pay for the drinks.

When Xu Kai saw Huang Tu ignoring him, he just sighed and looked at Huang Tu sympathetically.

Even the three basic laws of mechanics can help him become a child, and his body is as strong as a scholar. So wouldn't it mean that he can become a saint instantly by writing down the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, topology, and even string theory?

When the time comes, I will give Huang Tu two works to make him a sub-sage.

Xu Kai stroked his pen and wrote eloquently: "In any inertial system, the speed of light in vacuum is equal... Euler's theorem... The basic unit of nature is a kind of 'string'..."

After Xu Kai wrote down many shocking theories, he looked to the sky with expectation——

The sky was clear and cloudless and nothing happened.

"How could this happen?!" Xu Kai was shocked. Could it be that the laws of this world are different?

Yes, although I have verified it myself, it is only within the scope of classical physics, that is, within the macroscopic and low-speed range. If it is microscopic and high-speed, what will happen to this world?

Xu Kai was deep in thought, but Huang Tu picked up the paper Xu Kai had written on and read it. The more he looked at it, the deeper his frown deepened.

"What is this mess?"

After a month of hard practice, Xu Kai's calligraphy has made great progress, at least he looks like a human being. But Huang Tu clearly understood every word of what was written on the paper, and when put together, it seemed like he was reading a book from heaven.

If Huang Tu can still understand one or two of the three laws of mechanics, then these most profound theories of modern physics can only be powerful proof of one thing in Huang Tu's view -

Xu Kai is really crazy.

It turns out that rumor was not groundless.

He glanced at Xu Kai secretly, and after confirming that Xu Kai was deep in thought and did not notice him, he left quietly.

Xu Kai suddenly had an idea and called out to Huang Tu: "Huang Tu, you said that if an animal looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, what is it?"

Huang Tu was startled by the call. After calming down, he glanced at Xu Kai with pity, thinking that Xu Kai was too ill to even ask such a question, but he still replied: "That's right." Duck."

"Yes, so these theories are not wrong, but just like the three laws of mechanics, you need to start from the most basic!"

As if being enlightened, a bright light suddenly flashed in Xu Kai's eyes, and he wrote quickly.

The basis of physics is mathematics, so Xu Kai plans to establish a mathematical system first.

And what is the most basic mathematical system?

"Definition: line segment... straight line... ray... vertical... angle... right angle..."

After writing down a bunch of definitions, Xu Kai then wrote down the five most basic axioms:

“1. A straight line can and can only be drawn through two different points; 2. A line segment can be extended arbitrarily; 3. A circle can be drawn with any point as the center and any length as the radius; 4. All right angles are equal 5. If two straight lines are intercepted by a third straight line, if the sum of the two interior angles on the same side is less than two right angles, the two straight lines will intersect on that side."

——Euclidean geometry.

Compared with the various branches of mathematics that later developed, Euclidean geometry has its irreplaceable significance.

Euclid established the axiomatic method of mathematics, that is, in a mathematical theoretical system, select as few original concepts and self-evident axioms as possible, use this as a starting point, and use pure logical reasoning methods to transform the system into Established as a deductive system. All mathematical systems of later generations have followed this axiomatic method.

To some extent, Euclidean geometry can be said to be the origin of mathematics as a discipline.

Then, Xu Kai wrote the first proposition in "Elements of Geometry".

"Construct an equilateral triangle on a given finite straight line."

After Xu Kai completed this proposition in rigorous mathematical language, he started the next one.

"A straight line drawn from a given point as endpoint is equal to the given straight line."

Xu Kaibi's writing is like a dragon and a snake, and his writing is like a dragon and a snake.

There is a warm feeling in the chest that is constantly expanding.



"Sir, please go and see Xu Kai, he is going crazy, no, he is already crazy!" Huang Tu hurriedly ran to Wang Xin's residence.

"What? Take me to see it!" Wang Xin was shocked. Although the news was blocked and only known to some people, Xu Kai, in addition to being the top two-level boy who had not been seen in a century, was also attracted by the news. If such a person goes crazy, it will be a huge loss to Dali and even the entire human race!

As a scholar, Wang Xin was extremely fast, and the two of them arrived at Xu Kai's room in an instant.

Wang Xin broke through the door directly, and the fragments of the door flew in all directions.

Xu Kai raised his head and looked in shock at Wang Xin who broke his door open and Huang Tu who had a look of pity on his face.

The fragments that shot out shattered some items in Xu Kai's room, and Xu Kai quickly protected the papers in front of him to prevent these precious manuscripts from being affected.

Wang Xin directly pressed his shoulders and shook him: "Xu Kai, are you okay? Did others isolate you and neglect you, making you dissatisfied? Or did they do something secretly? Speak up and I will do it for you. You do justice!”

Xu Kai saluted and said, "The student is fine. I wonder what Mr. Wang is here for?"

"You're still fine, you're crazy! Mr. Wang, look at what Xu Kai wrote. If he hadn't been crazy, how could he have written these things!" Huang Tu said sadly, before Xu Kai The paper with the theory of relativity written on it was taken out.

Xu Kai looked at Huang Tu suspiciously, wondering how genuine this man's expression was.

Wang Xin took the paper handed over by Huang Tu and read the content on it. A trace of sadness flashed across his expression, but he hid it well. He patted Xu Kai's shoulder calmly: "Xu Kai, please rest for a few days."

Xu Kai was a little anxious: "Sir, I'm really fine. I'm just deriving mathematics, just like Mr. Zhang and others." He showed his derivation results.

Mr. Zhang is talking about Zhang Cang, who compiled "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic".

Wang Xin suspiciously picked up the papers written by Xu Kaixin and glanced at them. His eyes suddenly stopped on a certain item and paused for a moment. Then his expression showed some sadness: "Xu Kai, tell me, what are these?"

Xu Kai was stunned, looked at the piece of paper Wang Xin picked up, and said, "These are written axioms, which are the basis of mathematical derivation."

"What is the axiom?"

"Self-evident truths are axioms."

Wang Xin sighed and said sadly: "Xu Kai, accept the reality. You can rest for a few days first. I will organize classmates in the class to visit you. If there is anyone bullying you, point it out directly. Don't worry about them. background backstage.”

"Why on earth, sir! How on earth can you believe that I am really fine?!"

Wang Xin pointed to an axiom that had previously stunned him: "Look at this."

"What's wrong with this?" Xu Kai looked at the text that Wang Xin pointed to. The axiom was "Between two points, the line segment is the shortest."

Wang Xin said heartbrokenly: "How can there be the shortest line segment between two points?"

Now it was Xu Kai's turn to be confused: "Sir, you just read the definition of a line segment. How come the line segment between two points is not the shortest?"

Wang Xin picked up the brush that Xu Kai had used, put two ink dots in the void, and then waved his hand, and the formations in the Imperial Academy suddenly started operating in Xu Kai's room.

As a gentleman of the Guoyuan, Wang Xin can naturally master some of the formations of the Guoyuan.

The space was distorted, and the two ink dots he had previously placed gradually overlapped.

Xu Kai opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.

Wang Xin said sadly: "How can the line between two points be the shortest? Xu Kai, you are very ill!"
