Chapter 34: Douglas of Fear

When Chen Luo followed Feige and walked in the direction of Douglas, Isabella didn't say a word, obviously angry with him.

Alice had a thoughtful expression on her face, and after a while, she looked at Chen Luo and asked, "Senior Brother Blair, what is that number?"

Chen Luo shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Alice looked at him and didn't ask again, she was thinking about this question just now, but when they usually said that the square was a number of 2, they used a simple symbol instead, and no one ever thought that they really had to find out this number.

After all, it's a tedious affair.

The teacher told them that they only needed to know that the number could be represented by the ratio of two integers, and that it was only the scholars who needed to think about which two integers they were.

Although she wasn't sure if Chen Luo really didn't know, it was clear that the question he asked Feiqi didn't seem to be so easy to answer.

......

Douglas sat alone in the corner, his fists clenched, his face gloomy.

The Edwin Award was robbed, the Medal of Honor was robbed, and tonight's academic salon should have been his glory, but he didn't expect it to become his shame.

Douglas stood up, he was going to get out of here, he couldn't wait for the salon to end, the woman named Britney, the Blair who robbed him of the Medal of Honor, sooner or later he had to get back his glory from them!

"Brother, so you're here!" Just as Douglas was about to leave here early, Feige walked over with a look of surprise on his face.

"What's the matter?" Because of the extremely bad mood, Fei Qi didn't have a good face for this younger brother.

"I made a bet with that Blair idiot......" Feige excitedly told Douglas what had just happened.

Douglas had a look of surprise on his face and exclaimed, "He bet on the Medal of Honor with you?"

Fei Qi sneered and said, "This idiot, I just want to attract Isabella's attention, brother, you help me look at this question, this time I will make his honorary scholar a disgraced scholar!"

Douglas is in no hurry to get out of here, although the problem of Blair may be difficult, but there are many of his friends in the salon tonight, and even if they can't solve the problem, they will not lose anything.

But if he wins, he may be able to recover a little of the humiliation he has suffered from Blair in advance.

Douglas looked at Feige and asked, "What's the problem?"

Fei Qi hurriedly said: "What is the diagonal length of a square with a side length of 1?"

Douglas was stunned for a moment, he thought that Blair would ask some difficult problem to embarrass Phych, and he was even ready to ask for help from his friends, but this question ------ this question could not be regarded as a problem for him at all.

He frowned at Feiqi and said, "You don't know the answer to this question?"

As a member of the Howard family, if Feige dared to say that he didn't know Howard's theorem, he was afraid that he would be beaten to death by his father, Feige quickly explained: "Blair asked me to express the number with the square of 2 as the ratio of integers. ”

Douglas glanced at Feige, sat down again, picked up a pen and paper, and said, "You wait." ”

He had not studied this question either, but the number of the world, in addition to integers, was a decimal number that could be expressed by the ratio of integers, and he could always find this number after spending some time.

And although he lost the Edwin Award, he lost the Medal of Honor, but what he had was time.

While this does not remove Blair from being an honorary scholar, it does make him a disgrace to be a scholar......

Chen Luo and the three walked to Feiqi's side, Feiqi glanced at him with disdain, and said, "Prepare your medal." ”

Chen Luo put the medal of honor on the table and said, "It's here, if you have the ability, come and get it." ”

He didn't seem to take the gamble to heart at all, opened an unopened bottle of red wine, sat down in a chair and tasted it slowly.

Chen Luo's calmness seemed to infect Isabella, reminding her of the two stones that subverted her cognition, and Chen Luo used those two stones to overturn the conclusion of the sages and deceive ten gold coins from her.

She looked at Chen Luo suspiciously and asked, "Blair, do you know something?"

Chen Luo didn't answer directly, poured her a glass of red wine, and said, "Let's look at it." ”

Isabella frowned, glared at him, and said, "If you lose the medal, see how I clean you up!"

Invisibly, she has already begun to set up a senior sister's shelf with Chen Luo.

There are many people who call her senior sister in St. Donas College, but only Blair is her own younger brother, and as a senior sister, Isabella feels that she has the right to teach him in place of Britney's teacher.

Seeing that Chen Luo didn't mean to pour her wine, Alice took a clean goblet for herself, poured herself a shallow half a glass, and sat next to Chen Luo with Isabella.

She looked at Chen Luo from time to time, with doubts and confusion, and the junior brother in front of her, who was younger than her, she began to be a little unable to see through......

On the other hand, Feige thought that Douglas could give him an answer quickly, but he waited for a while, and Douglas was still burying his head in the calculations.

Fei Qi glanced at the leisurely Chen Luo, and couldn't help but bow his head and ask Glass, "Are you okay?"

Douglas frowned and said irritably, "Don't speak. ”

He had expected things to go smoothly, and to express a number as a ratio of integers, something that only beginners in mathematics would do, which was an insult to an already well-known scholar like him.

However, Douglas tried several methods, but he didn't get the answer he wanted, which made him a little irritated.

Feige was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore, but he didn't panic at all.

Douglas was one of the Howard's finest scholars, but he was only asked to indicate the length of a line segment, which was not a big problem.

He even felt that if he was given a little time, he would be able to figure out the answer himself.

At the same time, Douglas, who was struggling with his head, finally couldn't sit still.

He was somewhat horrified to find that he could not express the length of the diagonal of a square with a side length of 1 in an accurate number......

The number school and the Howard family advocate that everything can be measured, and any entity that exists in nature can be accurately expressed by numbers.

In this world, how can there be line segments that cannot be represented by numbers, doesn't this show that the proposition of the number school is wrong, the sages of the Howard family are wrong, and the entire mathematical community is wrong?

This idea is simply ridiculous, Douglas promptly dismissed this sinful idea, he raised his head, looked not far away, and said, "Debbie, Beck, Benson, you guys come over for a moment......"

One person's power is limited, and he decides to gather the strength of four people to find out this damn number.

The three of them walked over from the side, and the young man named Benson looked at him and asked, "Douglas, is there something wrong?"

Douglas handed the three men a piece of paper and said, "Look at this question. ”

Benson glanced at the paper, looked at Douglas again, and said with some surprise: "No, you forgot Howard's theorem, it's ......."

Douglas suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "You see the problem clearly first!"

The three of them glanced at each other again, and then sat down beside Douglas, Benson shook his head and said: "This level of problem, I'm afraid even your brother will do it, you will actually ask the three of us to help, Douglas, I think you need to rest well......"

Although he said so, he still picked up the pen and lowered his head to count.

Debbie and Baker didn't say anything, sat on the side, and silently calculated.

Half a grace is gone.

A grace is in the past.

......

Isabella had already drunk the red wine in the glass, and even the whole bottle of wine was drunk by the three of them, she glanced in the direction of Douglas and the others with some impatience, and asked, "Why haven't they finished counting yet?"

Beside Douglas, Feige waited anxiously, and even his legs were numb, but he didn't dare to disturb Douglas and the others, looked left and right, saw a familiar figure standing beside several scholars, looked down at Douglas again, gritted his teeth, walked over quickly, and said, "Uncle Duke, I have a question for you......"

Although Duke is not from the Howard family, he has a close relationship with the Howard family, and he himself is an honorary scholar of the Mathematical Association.

It's just that at this time, Feige didn't notice that his brother Douglas was sitting there, his face was terrified, he couldn't hold the quill in his hand, and his head was sweating like rain......
