In a certain room in Chaldea, two men gathered together on a table. On the plastic table in front of them, there was an open book with densely packed lead figures connected by small symbols.
It forms something close to a spell.
"Well…………"
The man wearing an iron helmet, with his entire face hidden under the mask, made such a long and distressed sound. As he muttered, the flames on the top of the helmet exploded, and the surging sparks almost reached the ceiling!
"Hey, calm down, calm down, it's just a math problem, don't take it so seriously."
Seeing him like this, the old man sitting opposite him quickly advised him.
This is his room! The ceiling is burned black, and he is the only one who feels uncomfortable living here!
As he spoke, the old man quickly closed the book on the table.
It wasn't until the annoying number combination disappeared from sight that the flames on the man's head calmed down.
I saw his two thick and powerful arms across his chest, with his hands folded across his chest, just like a Greek statue.
In fact, he himself had a close relationship with Greece - Leonidas.
In anyone's impression, Sparta is a group of brainless muscular people.
Only Leonidas strongly denied this.
By the way, Leonidas denies this statement. It is true that most Spartans are brainless muscular people, but! As the leader of Sparta, he still knows how to calculate and is good at mathematics.
of!
After all, if no one is good at calculations, there must be one or two who are!
Today too, Leonidas heard that a mathematician came from Chaldea!
Moreover, it is not a caster, but an archer!
How could this not excite him?
Now in Chaldea, the closest mathematician is Napoleon.
Historically, Napoleon was a person who was very good at mathematics, but he was still a little short of the level of a mathematician.
Leonidas had a chat with Napoleon, but the topic would definitely turn into things like battlefields and strategizing.
In particular, watching a young boy talk with overflowing confidence was not a pleasant experience for Leonidas. Sparta admired the strong and despised things like magic. Look at this body
The thin emperor always wanted him to gain more muscle.
So I heard that Caleb had a new mathematician, and he immediately came to pay him a visit.
When he heard that the other party was a mathematician, Moriarty was also very surprised and said to himself... I really haven't studied history much. Why, did mathematicians have to have muscles in ancient times?
If you think about it carefully, you're right. Others don't understand him. Scholars who specialize in a certain subject know too much. Once those people talk about the fields they are good at, they will talk eloquently and say a lot that others can't even listen to.
You understand, and the proof has nothing to do with the other party's question. It is just to show that you are knowledgeable and wise. The result is often that the audience does not get what they want and wastes their time.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, along with some nouns that I often use, the other party will say "No! This word does not mean that" and then make a lot of noise.
Modern people have a brand new term for this kind of people, called "Gang Jing".
Things that can be clearly explained in two sentences must be hidden in long speeches, and they are basically explanations that have nothing to do with the other party's questions, and they often criticize one or a few words in the other party's words to "make an explanation"
Inaccurate] to open the topic and change the topic.
If you think about it carefully, this kind of person really deserves to be beaten.
In modern times, because of legal protection, it is illegal to hit someone, and you can't hit someone through the Internet. It was different in ancient times. Everyone discussed knowledge face to face and liked to argue so much. If you don't have a good body, you will be beaten easily.
die.
Moriarty was on his own to achieve understanding, so he chose a simple mathematical formula from his book Asteroid Mechanics to show him.
Hence the opening scene.
"What's the use of learning this kind of thing?"
Leonidas said this angrily.
"Well...what's the use of asking me...then I don't know."
Moriarty chuckled.
"I am just a mathematician, researching problems, solving problems, and verifying my own solutions. In the beginning of this book, I just accidentally discovered a feasible method of destroying the world... and then began to try without hesitation to see if my ideas were correct.
Woolen cloth."
Moriarty said, raising his head and looking at the blackened ceiling in trance.
"snort!"
Leonidas made an unconvinced sound.
"This kind of thing! It has no practical effect at all! Mathematics should be a practical thing! Marching and fighting! Daily exercise! It will all become more orderly because of mathematics!"
He put forward a completely different opinion. As he spoke, he reached out and clicked on the closed "Asteroid Mechanics" on the table.
"You only study such illusory things. You are really similar to those people in Athens."
"Well, I admit it. There are many meaningless problems in mathematics. Especially problems such as opening a gate to release water and filling a pipe with water at the same time. Isn't this meaningless!"
Moriarty sighed along with his words, trying to end the topic and drive this stupid guy away.
Why should he rush? Leonidas confirmed that he could not understand the mathematics he was talking about and wanted to leave a long time ago.
After all, no matter how much Leonidas doesn't want to admit it, he is a member of Sparta after all. No matter how seriously he thinks, he is just a muscle brain that is good at thinking. It's like being first in the fifth grade of elementary school and math.
The first among department professors are two completely different concepts.
Although they are all number one.
The mathematics mentioned by Leonidas is the closest to Napoleon's mathematics. Learning numbers is to better kill the enemy. After all, Napoleon was an artilleryman. Whether he likes it or not, he has to calculate ballistics. You can't use Chinese to calculate ballistics.
Bar?
When Leonidas and Napoleon communicate, it will definitely end up with one person crazily arguing that the general should use his muscles to defeat the enemy, and the other arguing that the general should sit in the rear and strategize. Anyway, neither of them can convince the other of the meaningless aspects.
Confused by the formulas in Moriarty's asteroid mechanics, Leonidas picked up his spear and shield and said goodbye. Leonidas left without looking back, taking with him:
Why do mathematicians like me who advocate practical application of the world leave with so little emotion?
Moriarty touched the book on his desk and couldn't help showing a look of regret and nostalgia.
"Joined forces with Demon God Pillar Baal to prove his own way of destruction. This time...I will definitely do it..."
Moriarty closed his eyelids and opened them again. All the gentle expressions were gone, leaving only cunning and determination not to give up until the goal was achieved.
"This time - I will definitely prove my conclusion. There will be no problem."
