Chapter 90: A Different Choice

There are seven departments in the college, but two of them are perennially short of people, one is the Department of Refining and the other is the Department of Philosophy. On the contrary, several other faculties, especially the martial arts department, the art department, and the imperial medicine department, are often overcrowded.

The martial arts department is just that, after all, it is the world of cultivators, and the art department can also be said because there is a beautiful director Tang Yun, but it makes no sense that there are so many people in the imperial medicine department!

Ding Hao didn't know this now, he continued to walk to the position of the mathematics department, and the old man sitting there glanced at him and said, "Just solve this math problem." ”

Looking at it like this, I shouldn't have much confidence in Ding Hao.

Ding Hao saw a piece of paper on the table, and there was a question written on the paper, and when he saw this question, he was immediately happy, he would know this question.

This is a calculus, and it is a typical example of calculus, although it will not be very simple, but it is not difficult for him. He didn't answer, and picked up the pen to solve it.

Originally, after the old man glanced at Ding Hao, he closed his eyes, in his opinion, there was no need for him to participate in such a form of assessment. Math doesn't put water.

It doesn't matter much if you release water from the Imperial Medicine Department and the History Department anyway, but mathematics is the most mysterious and beautiful symbol between heaven and earth, containing the essence of heaven and earth, how can you release water?

When Ding Hao lifted the pen, he opened his eyes slightly, waiting for him to give up, but when he pushed the question back to him after answering the question in one go, his face finally changed.

"You, you, you, how do you solve this problem? You can solve it this way, it's wonderful here. The old man looked at this solution, and then at Ding Hao, eager to take him down immediately.

Ding Hao shuddered for no reason, and asked weakly, "Can I go to the next location?"

"Yes, yes. The old man was very kind, stroked his beard and smiled: "I'll look at this solution for a while." ”

There was a beautiful woman sitting in the position of the philosophy department, which surprised Ding Hao, and the beautiful woman smiled at her and said, "What, is it unexpected?"

"Sort of. Ding Hao scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"So, I asked the question?" said the beauty.

"Just ask. Ding Hao was solemn and accurate.

The beautiful woman thought for a while and said, "I wanted to ask you any question, but seeing that you are good at solving math problems, it will not be difficult to solve my philosophy problems." Listen, assuming you can travel back in time now, if you accidentally kill your past self, will you still exist now?"

Isn't this my grandmother's paradox? Ding Hao was taken aback in his heart, the philosophy of this world has studied such profound things? Is this already a study of mathematics and physics, or is it just a conjecture?

However, the laws of this world are not the same as the original world, and whether it is cultivation or Dharma weapons, they are all rules that cannot be explained by the laws of that world.

So can the definition of time really be the same? Is there space, and everything else, will it be the same?

It certainly can't be the same, but the different definitions don't affect the ideas and assumptions of philosophy itself.

He grinned toothily and said, "Then may I ask the teacher, can we calculate the future?"

The beauty didn't expect him to ask rhetorically, and said with interest: "Maybe you can, maybe you can't." In my opinion, the possibilities for the future are endless. ”

This answer is very correct, Ding Hao continued to ask: "Since the future has infinite possibilities, what about the past, is the past unique?"

The beauty fell into deep thought, and after a long time, she said: "Since it has become a thing of the past, it is naturally the only one." ”

"Then the question arises, the present me is the past and the only one relative to the future me, so how can I be sure that the one who will kill me in the future is also the only one?"

A roar sounded in her head, and she pondered: the past is the only one, then the present is the past relative to the future, then the present is the only one, so since there are infinite futures, then if the future can be guaranteed to be a definite one?

It's a wonderful point. It's like a line, it is one from the beginning of the drawing, and suddenly at a certain point, it forks and becomes an infinite number of lines, but as the process goes by, these countless lines will also become one because of the slow passage of this point. It's just that the countless bars that split after the other fork point are not the same as the previous ones.

Haha, infinite future possibilities, since the future is not the only one, then the present is not the only one for the past. How can a person who is not sure if it will exist at all kill a person who has been determined to exist?

She thought about it, and the idea was simply fantastic.

Standing up suddenly, she saluted the dean and said, "Dean, I ask Ding Hao to enter the Department of Philosophy. ”

As soon as this statement came out, not only the teachers present, but everyone in the audience was extremely surprised, the philosophy department has not recruited students for decades, so that almost everyone almost ignores the existence of this department.

However, there is a clause in the school rules that if there is a person in the philosophy department, other departments are not allowed to compete unless the candidate himself is unwilling.

I have to say that the rules are still more humane, and there is no blind coercion, and personal opinions are fully respected.

The current head of the Department of Philosophy is Lin Yaer in front of her. He is also the only one in the Department of Philosophy at present.

Lin Qiantong's eyes when she looked at Ding Hao finally changed, Lin Yaer was her aunt, a genius of the Lin family, and a genius among geniuses.

Lingshan has the most people in the martial arts department and the strongest combat power, but if there is anyone who can challenge the status of the martial arts department, then only the philosophy department.

As for how a one-person philosophy department can challenge the martial arts department, this is an unsolved mystery among all the students of Lingshan.

"Are you sure?" asked the dean.

"Pretty sure. ”

"Do you have any objections from the other departments?"

"We have no objections. Since the school rules have provisions and Lin Yaer insists on it, then others will naturally not have objections.

"Ding Hao, what about you?" the dean asked again.

I haven't figured it out yet, and besides, there's still a martial arts department that hasn't been tried. Ding Hao was a little dazed and didn't know how to answer.

The dean smiled dumbly: "Lin Ya'er, it seems that your philosophy department is in a bit of a hurry. Let Ding Hao participate in all the tests first. ”

Lin Ya'er could only say yes, and returned to her original position, and Ding Hao came to the location where the martial arts department was located.

At this time, Zhao Yu has also completed the assessment of the Imperial Medicine Department, and his results are very good, and he is currently undergoing the examination of the History Department.

She slowly flipped through the "General History of the Great You", and was immediately attracted by the content in it, which actually told all kinds of political events about the founding of the entire Great You Dynasty and the eventual demise.

However, the content of the record seems to be different from what she has learned before, and it is basically only a record of facts without any commentary.

However, the version commonly used in the Great Xia Dynasty today is almost always critical of the entire Great You Dynasty, especially the reign of the You Emperor during that period.

She watched and was fascinated.

"But you've read it all?" the old man's words pulled her back: "My name is Xiao Sheng, and I am the head of the history department. ”

"I'm done. Zhao Yu saluted politely, his face was flushed, and he returned the book very obediently and solemnly.

"Hmm. Not bad. Xiao Sheng stroked his beard and smiled: "Then let me ask you, why did the Great You Dynasty perish?"

This is a big proposition, how many scholars have carefully studied and discussed it for hundreds of years, and there are different opinions, some say that it is because of the cruelty of Emperor You, some say that it is because of the luck of heaven, and some say that it is a conspiracy theory.

Xiao Sheng's question is also the result of careful consideration, and the more such a non-standard answer, the more it can reflect a person's ideological views.

Zhao Yu fell into deep thought again.

Xiao Sheng didn't seem to be in a hurry, and waited for her quietly.

Ding Hao walked in front of Wei Mou, Wei Mou looked at him with interest, and said: "There is only about ten layers of cultivation in the True Yuan Realm, but the True Yuan is strong, but it is somewhat unique. But with your qualifications, it's just ordinary. How do you have the confidence to enter the martial arts department? Do you know the history of the martial arts department?"

"I don't know. Ding Hao shook his head.

"Since the establishment of the martial arts department, there have been 100 people who have entered the holy realm at the age of 20, 10 people who have entered the holy realm at the age of 18, and three people who have entered the holy realm at the age of 16. ”

"How many people are at the top?" Ding Hao asked.

Wei Mou's eyes were full of approval, and he said, "There are seven people who have reached the top. ”

"So these seven people, how many people are in the upper ranks, and how many are the middle people?" Ding Hao asked.

The color of appreciation in Wei Mou's eyes became stronger: "There are six people with the highest qualifications, and one person with the qualifications of the middle people." ”

Ding Hao nodded, and didn't ask any more, but the meaning was very clear, although at his age, he was only at the tenth layer of the True Yuan Realm, but his goal was not the Holy Realm, but the Absolute Peak.

Of the more than 100 people, only six people finally reached the top, but there was also one middle-aged person.

This shows a problem, first, not only the top assets can enter the top, but also the assets of the middle people. Second, it is not easy to reach the top of the ladder.

"I don't have a problem anymore. Wei Mou directly announced the end of the assessment of the martial arts department.

The dean nodded with a smile, he was also very satisfied with Wei Mou's assessment, Ding Hao's cultivation was naturally not worth mentioning in their eyes, but the confidence he showed made them the most satisfied. If a practitioner does not have faith, how can he go higher and farther?

Faith is a kind of will. This is a truth that all of those present understand.

So far, Ding Hao has all completed the exams of these seven departments.

At this time, Zhao Yu finally replied with some uncertainty: "I think the fall of the Great You Dynasty lies in the fact that it is too powerful. ”

Seeing Xiao Sheng's eyes full of surprise, she patiently explained: "When I was a child, I liked to observe ants, and I found a very interesting phenomenon. I found that an ant nest has only one queen, but it doesn't go out to forage, she is only responsible for reproduction, while the other ants are responsible for finding food and fighting. The title of the queen ant was told to me by Brother Ding Hao. ”

After thinking about it, he added: "I didn't understand why not every ant can become an individual, but then I figured out that the ant nest is the smallest social structure, and everyone has their own role and works together to form a stable structure. If an ant is too special, it will no longer be able to survive stably with this structure. I think that's the case with the Great Shadow Dynasty. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Xiao Sheng, but everyone present began to ponder, and the eyes that looked at Zhao Yu began to change a lot.

Originally, whether Zhao Yu could enter Lingshan or not was hotly discussed, and there was no precedent at her age, and it was finally decided by the dean.

She had just turned sixteen, and she was in line with the enrollment age of the academy, but everyone didn't have much confidence in her, after all, the first layer of the sixteen-year-old True Yuan Realm could be found everywhere in Lingshan.
