Cheng Mo didn't really believe what the dwarf scarecrow in front of him wearing a "child mask" said, but in the "Utopia" where he was unfamiliar with his life, he didn't have many choices. At the moment, he could only take one step at a time and agree first. So.

He pretended to think for a moment and then said: "Excuse me, what is your name?"

"Name?" the dwarf scarecrow raised his hand and touched his bare chin. He thought for a while before replying, "You can call me Zorro."

"Zorro?"

"Yes, Zorro." The dwarf scarecrow waved his hand casually, and the "child mask" on his face turned into the black "Colombina" mask in the "Zorro" movie. His movements were like a face-changing in Sichuan opera.

Then he quickly grabbed the bowler hat from Chernenberg's head next to him, and pulled out a stainless steel skewer from somewhere. It looked like a banner on a bicycle tire. He used the banner as a long

The sword danced in the air several times, and the silver light flashed in the air. He said loudly, "I am Diego on the surface, pretending to be timid and scared. But in the middle of the night, I put on makeup and set out, raising the sharp sword.

Come and serve justice." Then the scarecrow dwarf made a "Z" on the ground and shouted out Zorro's famous saying, "Who am I? Zorro!" (Colombina is a half-type of Venetian improvisational comedy masks

A mask that covers the face, covering only the eyes, nose and upper part of the cheek. It is usually decorated with gold, silver, crystals and feathers; Zorro is a character in the Italian-French film "Zorro", starring Alain Delon

)

Cheng Mo is definitely not the kind of person who judges people by their appearance, but right now, the little man is wearing a tattered coat and dressing up as a scarecrow, pretending to be cool and cool, pretending to be the knight Zorro. It is really childish and ridiculous. If it weren't for sure, there must be some powerful people in the Utopia.

As the Chosen One, Cheng Mo definitely thought he was working as a kindergarten teacher, but as he stared at the funny moves of the scarecrow dwarf, he could only continue to play "Zorro".

Speaking of which, the mighty Black Death Demon, Lord of Plagues, and Athena's husband was reduced to being an actor in the Utopia. This is really funny. A different person might not be able to accept such a role reversal for a while, but it is a success.

I thought about the actress Shen Jingbing who can earn 2.08 million a day and 1.6 billion per play, and I felt that being an actress is actually a very happy thing. At least other professions are not like this.

Easily complete class jump.

"Okay, Master Zorro." Cheng Mo stroked his chest, bowed slightly and said in a serious tone, "I think you still need a black cloak and a good Western sword."

"You don't need to tell me. In addition to these, I also want a big black horse." Zorro inserted the rusty iron bar into the straw rope that was used as a belt around his waist, but the iron bar was

Without stopping for a second, he slid down and landed on the stone drying floor. There was a clang. Zorro did not look at the iron bars that fell on the ground. He said shamelessly, "I am very good at handling the props."

Dead."

Cheng Mo felt that the other party was very talented as a comedian, at least more potential than Heath the Clown. Heath the Clown was more suitable for starring in horror movies, unlike the scarecrow dwarf who was full of humorous bacteria. Cheng Mo really asked:

"Lord Zorro, what kind of role should I play?" After a pause, he said apologetically, "I don't know much about the movie "Zorro"."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. I will rewrite the script. I will also prepare costumes and props for you. You only need to take the script and understand the role thoroughly and perform it with all your strength."

"No problem." Cheng Mo said, "But you should tell me more or less how you want to take me into the cosmic thinking garden, right?"

Zorro said impatiently: "It's easy for me to get in that bullshit place. I promise to take you in after I finish your performance mission."

Cheng Mo said calmly: "Lord Zoro, I hope we can make a contract."

"No problem." Zorro agreed without hesitation. He turned to look at Chernaborg, who was wearing a tuxedo. "Chernaborg, go to the house and get a piece of contract paper, a pen and an ink pad."

Chernaborg turned around nimbly and ran towards the thatched house, moving as fast as an emperor penguin gliding on the ice.

Zorro's hesitation gave Cheng Mo some confidence, so while waiting, he glanced at the fence of chess pieces on the side and asked casually: "Why is the Universe Thinking Garden only open twice a year?"

Zorro said: "Because people who study mathematics do not need human interaction or go out, they only need numbers."

Cheng Mo thought of Athena and shook his head, "Not necessarily. Sometimes mathematics also needs inspiration."

Zorro said with a "haha" smile: "So they still open the door twice a year."

"Do the people inside only come out when the door is opened?"

"You can come out at any time, but except for the garden owner, or people who have been invited by the garden owner, if you want to get in, you have to wait until April Fool's Day and Halloween every year, and you have to answer the questions given to those boring idiots before you can get in."

Zorro's tone was very disdainful, but he still recognized the owner of the "Cosmic Thinking Garden", so Cheng Mo said: "Presumably the owner of this garden must be a master of mathematics."

"It's not bad!" Zorro said, "It's a bit famous."

Cheng Mo asked with great interest: "Can you tell me your name?"

Zoro hesitated for a moment before speaking: "V.I.Arnold"

"What? Vladimir Arnold of the Arnold-Liouville theorem?" Cheng Mo was shocked, "Isn't he dead?"

Zorro said meaningfully: "Maybe he would die, but as long as he enters the Utopia, he will not."

Cheng Mo really didn't expect that one of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century, Vladimir Arnold, known as the "Soviet Right Hand", would actually be in the Republic. But after thinking about it carefully, there is actually nothing surprising.

After all, this is a place where gods and generals can be imprisoned. Cheng Mo was about to ask more about the "Cosmic Thinking Garden" and Vladimir Arnold. The robot Chernabog had already taken a special tool for writing contracts.

The contract paper, pen and ink pad came from the thatched house.

Zorro took the pen and paper from Chernabog, walked to the coffee table next to the lounge chair, and began to write the contents of the contract one by one. His writing was a bit sloppy, but it was not without structure and had a messy aesthetic.

After finishing writing, he signed one of the two copies, took out his Hermitage emblem from his pocket, pressed it on the ink pad, then stamped the signature place, and then

The contract was handed to Cheng Mo and he said briskly: "This is yours, just give me your signature and seal."

Cheng Mo glanced at the contract paper. There wasn't much written on it. It just said that on June 29th, Cheng Mo must complete the task assigned to him by Zorro. The details of the task will depend on the script, and Zorro will

After Cheng Mo completes the script task, take Cheng Mo into the "Cosmic Thinking Garden".

Seeing Cheng Mo's eyes falling on the signature "Zorro", Zorro explained: "The signature doesn't matter, as long as it has a badge and seal, you can also sign any name you want."

Cheng Mo said "Oh". In fact, he knew this in his heart, but it was the first time he saw someone else's badge, so he became interested in the row of numbers under the badge. He thought that row of numbers should not be

Random, it must mean something, but there are too few examples to refer to at the moment, so he can't speculate too much.

After reading the content of the contract carefully, Cheng Mo still did not sign, but said: "I have to add that the content of the script does not violate the "Utopia Code". If the content of the script violates the "Utopia Code", Party A needs to modify the content.

If Party A refuses to modify it, even if Party B cannot complete the contract, Party A still needs to perform the contract."

"Yes~!" Zoro snapped his fingers and said as if he remembered something important, "Haha, this is indeed a very important sentence. We are all good law-abiding citizens of the Utopia!"

Cheng Mo didn't believe that Zorro couldn't even think of this. He secretly became more vigilant towards Zorro. He stared at Zorro and added this sentence. Cheng Mo checked it twice again and added some details. If Zorro didn't

After patiently urging him, he found no other problems before he signed his name and stamped his badge.

After Cheng Mo signed and sealed, Zorro put away the contract that belonged to him when he was satisfied, and laughed happily with his hands on his hips. He laughed so unscrupulously that the empty field was filled with his weird laughter.

.

This nervous laughter made Cheng Mo feel a little creepy. He looked at Zoro who wanted to kneel on the ground, and then looked at the contract in his hand, wondering if he had been fooled, but there was really no problem with the contract, so he was suspicious.

Asked: "What makes Master Zorro smile so happily?"

"It's nothing." Zorro held his belly and laughed, and said while laughing, "It's just that I haven't had anyone to act with me for a long time. In the past, I could only act opposite Chernaborg, which was really boring. Artificial intelligence has always been

It’s artificial intelligence, it’s just a puppet show, it doesn’t have the thrill of acting.”

Cheng Mo was suspicious, but he didn't know why the other party was laughing, so he thought that as long as he resolutely did not do anything that violated the rules of the Utopia, the other party would not be able to do anything to him. Facing the crazy laughing Zorro, he could not

He said animatedly: "I hope I can satisfy Master Zorro."

Zorro coughed, calmed down a little, and said with a smile: "Nothing else. Come and pick up the script on the 27th."

"Why is the show on the twenty-ninth?"

"Because that day is Ms. Chloe's birthday, the palace will hold a grand dinner, and most people from the Utopia will attend." Zorro raised his head and spun around in circles, "Since I choose to stand on the stage,

Of course it needs the largest audience."

Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, first thinking, maybe Yan Funing would come, but if the "Cosmic Thinking Garden" could only be exited but not entered, it would be difficult to guarantee. He still felt strange in his heart that Yan Funing studied mathematics and stayed in the "Cosmic Thinking Garden"

It was barely normal to not want to come out of the "Garden", but did he give up and escape after entering the Utopia? Didn't he struggle even once? Cheng Mo's heart was full of questions, but all these questions could not be answered until he found Yan Funing.

"Okay, you can leave now if it's okay." Zorro said.

Cheng Mo paused his thinking and said, "Then I'll come over on the morning of the 27th."

Zoro nodded, ignored Cheng Mo, and walked towards his thatched hut. Chernabog, wearing a tuxedo, followed Zoro into the thatched hut.

Singing came from inside, and Zorro began to sing an Italian opera that Momo had never heard before.

Cheng Mo listened for a moment, then turned around and walked along the country road paved with stones in the direction of the hotel. The afternoon sun was still strong, and he was surrounded by a beautiful rural scenery. He walked to the black and white checkerboard iron gate.

, Cheng Mo stopped for a moment again, looking at the magnificent and strange scenery, but still didn't see anyone. He thought: Maybe for mathematics lovers, this is indeed paradise.

——————————————————————————————

At night, Cheng Mo finally saw the starry sky. Last night, he didn't know whether it was due to the weather or something, but the sky was covered by dark clouds. Tonight, there were no dark clouds, and the sky was clear.

But unlike what Cheng Mo thought, even if there was no light pollution in the Utopia, the starry sky still seemed empty and far away, making it difficult to observe a clear starry sky. Cheng Mo stood by the window and tried his best to see, but he didn't see the best thing he was looking for.

Polaris.

The North Star cannot be observed in June, which allows Cheng Mo to roughly determine where he is in the southern hemisphere. Not being able to see the North Star is a problem for Cheng Mo, because it is relatively easy to determine the direction based on the North Star. Generally speaking, the North Star is relatively opposite to the North Star.

The height above the ground depends on the latitude of the observer. For example, if you are in the capital, Polaris will be in the true north, about 40 degrees above the ground. If you are in the North Pole, Polaris will be overhead (zenith). Assume that it is near the equator.

, Polaris should lie just on the horizon; but in the southern hemisphere, Polaris will never rise above the horizon, so it will never be visible in the southern hemisphere. Theoretically, it is still possible to see Polaris within about half a degree south of the equator.

Yes, it's just very difficult because it's so close to the horizon.

There is no "South Pole" in the southern hemisphere, but there are still iconic constellations like the Big Dipper, which is the "Southern Cross" that cannot be observed by people in the northern hemisphere. This constellation can be seen on the flags of many countries in the southern hemisphere.

In the Age of Discovery, adventurers used Polaris and the sextant to determine the ship's position, longitude and latitude at night in the northern hemisphere, while in the southern hemisphere they used the Southern Cross.

The problem is that Cheng Mo is not that familiar with the starry sky in the southern hemisphere, and cannot judge his approximate position through the starry sky with the naked eye. However, even familiarity is not that useful, because in order to determine the accurate longitude and latitude, a sextant must be used.

Cheng Mo did know how to make a sextant, but it was useless without the tools at hand, and it was a waste of time to confirm that it could not be passed on. This made Cheng Mo temporarily put aside the idea of ​​determining his position. But he couldn't just count on Zorro, he also

We must find other paths to deepen our understanding of the Utopia. Thinking of Sisla Berg's introduction, Cheng Mo decided to go to the bar and found the bar called "Black Dream" on the map, only to find that there were bright lights on.

There was a "Open to members only" sign at the door of Hong's bar. After taking a look at the armed black SWAT guards, Cheng Mo could only give up the idea of ​​entering the bar and returned to the hotel.

In the next few days, Cheng Mo tried to travel around the Utopia, but found that this was an impossible task because too many places belonged to private territory and he had no way to enter, even close to the legendary poisonous mist.

Impossible. As for other people, Cheng Mo had seen them occasionally, but they were all far away. No one paid attention to him when he said hello. And the weekend dance that Lermontov mentioned happened to be right here where he came.

It was closed for a week, saying it was to celebrate "Chloe's birthday".

Even though things were so unfortunate, Cheng Mo did not break the rules, but continued to understand the Utopia within the rules. The more he studied, he found that his understanding of the Utopia was too shallow. In addition to checking the Utopia, he

He stayed in the "Cosmic Thinking Garden" for many days, but still didn't see anyone. So on the 27th, he came to the thatched house again. At this time, there was a tall and handsome mechanical dark horse outside the house.
Chapter completed!
