Chapter 223 Golden Section

In the morning, by the small lake. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Hong is explaining the key points about the three-body pose to Arthur and Matthew.

"Stand upright, keep your arms hanging down naturally, and keep your head straight...... Keep your heels together and your toes abducted at 90 degrees, noting that your toes and knees are in the same direction, and your eyes are looking straight ahead......"

Considering that they were foreigners and beginners, Lin Hong did not say any "3824-style formula", but tried to express it in simple language and demonstrated it himself.

Arthur and Matthew stood for a long time, but they couldn't meet Lin Hong's requirements, and they were constantly asked to adjust, in their opinion, a very simple standing posture had so many complicated requirements, it was simply too exaggerated.

"Stone, a simple way to stand, does it need to be that complicated? What are the benefits of such a station? ”

Matthew listened to Lin Hong explain so many points in one breath, and he really couldn't understand it.

Although Arthur didn't say anything, he was also very puzzled in his heart, in fact, he had wanted to ask this question for a long time, after all, every morning exercise, Lin Hong would definitely stand in such a posture for more than half an hour.

"This stump is called a three-body pose, which can greatly enhance the coordination of your muscles and bones throughout your body, and can also generate a mysterious power in your body."

"Mystical powers?" Matthew's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Anyway, the great benefit is that the three-body pose is the foundation of Xingyi, and if you really want to learn Xingyi Dao well, this posture is essential."

After he came back, he had already explained the senior brother's Xingyi Gym to Matthew and Arthur, and after they listened, they immediately regretted that they didn't go with Lin Hong to attend the opening ceremony of the Xingyi Gym.

Moreover, the two of them have decided that they will only wait for the summer vacation to go to New York together, worship under the door of the Xingyi Dao, and become a learner of the Xingyi Dao.

In class, Lin Hong is taking a painting class, and the content he has been learning recently is sketching.

When I had not been exposed to this course before, Lin Hong's drawings were directly drawn with pen and ink according to the real thing, although the things drawn were relatively similar, but they lacked a three-dimensional sense.

After systematic study, he learned that it was necessary to learn the principles of perspective to learn sketching, such as the relationship between sketching and mathematical geometry is very large.

In addition, when I first started sketching, sketching was to directly abstract the figure I wanted to draw into geometric shapes, such as cylinders, circles, ellipses, and so on. After drawing this roughly abstract geometry, the details are constantly revised to make it closer to the prototype.

When Lin Hong thought of this, he thought of calculus in mathematics, and felt that sketching, which is constantly approaching the prototype, is very similar to the way of finding the limit in calculus. At first, it may be a completely different thing from the prototype, with rough lines and geometric shapes, but after refining step by step, it starts to become smooth, and finally the best result is achieved.

What makes Lin Hong feel the most amazing is that in the process of sketching, a lot of mathematical knowledge is used, such as drawing a person's face, and the knowledge of the golden ratio needs to be used many times. The ratio of the width of the nose and mouth, the width of the eyes and the width of the face, and the length of the face are in line with the saying "three courts and five eyes...... Wait a minute.

The concept of the golden section is the law that Lin Hong mentioned the most after learning to draw, saying that the number 0.618 is the most common, the most artistic, and the most aesthetically valuable ratio in nature.

The golden section, also known as the golden rule, refers to a certain mathematical proportional relationship between the parts of things, that is, the whole is divided into two, and the ratio of the larger part to the smaller part is equal to the ratio of the whole to the larger part, and its ratio is 1:0.618 or 1.618:1, that is, the long section is 0.618 of the whole paragraph.

After Lin Hong heard the teacher talk about this number, he went to the library to check the relevant information, and found that there are many books and literature in this area, and Western mathematicians have studied this area very deeply. For example, since the sixties, the American Mathematical Society has set up a quarterly journal called "Fibonacci Sequence" to publish the results of research in this area.

To study the golden section, we have to refer to the "golden section sequence", that is, the "Fibonacci sequence", the law of this sequence is "starting from the third term, each term is equal to the sum of the first two terms".

Such as 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21、......

As the number of items in the series increases, the ratio of the former term to the latter item is getting closer and closer to the value of the golden section of 0.6180339887......

The Fibonacci sequence has a very wide range of natural instances and can be found everywhere in nature.

For example, the petals of Trillium, Wild Rose, South American Vetiver, Cosmos, Goldenrod, Columbia, Lily, and Butterfly can be found to have Fibonacci numbers: 3, 5, 8, 13, 21、......

From the quarterly "Fibonacci Sequence", Lin Hong saw too much research on the Fibonacci sequence, and his heart was shocked at that time, he knew for the first time that there was such a magical mathematical law in his commonplace life.

This couldn't help but make Lin Hong sigh, could it be that there really is a creator, and even human beings were carefully designed by him? Otherwise, why would biological structures in nature follow certain mathematical laws so precisely?

……

In the midst of cranky thoughts, the lesson passed like this.

After class, Lin Hong returned to his locker, and before he could open the locker, a slight "Didi" sound suddenly came from his pocket.

So, he took his calculator out of his pocket.

Press it to enter a small program.

The "Didi" sound just now is the prompt sound of a short message arrival, and this function was developed by others after the CDAD device was invented, and it quickly became one of the necessary small software for installation.

The only thing that is a little inconvenient is that you have to enter the wireless coverage area to receive the information.

After the establishment of SAM, Matthew also installed two CDAD units in the locker area, which is also the place where the crowd gathers, so that everyone can synchronize messages in real time when they go to and from class.

[Matthew: I went to the company after school. 】

"To the company?"

Lin Hong was a little strange, he had seen Matthew before the class, and he didn't say anything.

Lin Hong has been studying the knowledge of the Internet for the past few days, and he has already finished reading the books in the school library, and he is thinking about calling Matthew to go to the library in the city to have a look, and by the way, he will also find books on the Posix standard.

Since Texas Instruments sent a lawyer's letter a few days ago, SAM's business activities have basically come to a standstill, because everyone is not sure where this matter will go and is waiting for the second contact.

So Lin Hong replied to him:

[Stone: Texas Instruments has news?] 】

Soon, Matthew replied.

Matthew: Yes. It's out of school, right? Come to the company. 】

When Lin Hong rushed to the garage of SAM, he saw a Mercedes-Benz latest 600SEL car parked outside the garage.

Walking inside, Lin Hong saw that in the reception area, there were two strangers, a man and a woman, sitting there, and the torch was talking to each other.

On the coffee table in the middle, there are several open documents.

Matthew, Arthur and Pierson were tinkering with an improved CDAD device, which was originally intended to be directly handed over to the factory for OEM production, but due to the appearance of the lawyer's letter, the plan was directly shelved.

Matthew turned his head and saw Lin Hong appear at the door, and immediately walked over.

"Those two are Texas Instruments?"

"Yes. That man is the lawyer who sent me the lawyer's letter last time, Reece Evans. The woman is the person in charge, named Diana Hall, from the Texas Instruments Calculator Division, is a very strong woman. ”

Matthew briefly introduced the situation of the two to Lin Hong.

Since the reception area in the garage was a little far away from the door, and there were some cardboard boxes in the middle, plus they were talking to the torch at the moment, they didn't notice Lin Hong's arrival.

"What did they ask for this time?" Lin Hong intuitively thought that this matter might be related to him.

"Acquisition." Arthur, who had also walked over to this side, said a very brief word.

"Yes, they want to buy us SAM entirely."

Lin Hong had actually expected this, so he was not surprised by the news, he smiled: "This seems to be good news, why doesn't it seem like you two are very happy?" ”

"Hey, don't mention it." Matthew sighed and said, "They don't look down on SAM at all, what they really want to buy is just your infrared transmission protocol......"

After some explanation by Matthew, Lin Hong learned that the other party still thought that the invention rights of the infrared transmission protocol they used belonged to SAM, so he sent someone to negotiate this time, and if SAM was willing to sell the patent of this agreement to Texas Instruments, it would no longer care about their infringement.

While they were talking, the torch also noticed that Lin Hong had arrived, so they walked out from that side.

"Stone, you're here." Torch sweated slightly on his forehead.

"Torch, how did you talk to them?" Matthew asked.

"There is no progress, the other party doesn't look at our company's technology at all, and what Diana is really interested in is the infrared transmission protocol. Just now she showed me a document on the legal basis for our company's infringement of Texas Instruments' rights, and I looked at it, and the situation was a little bad, and they came prepared. Under Section 301 of Section 182 of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974, it is possible that our company has infringed on their products......"

"How much are they going to pay for it?"

Lin Hong frowned and turned his head to look at Diana who was sitting over there, the other party saw him looking over, and smiled arrogantly at Lin Hong, Lin Hong didn't like her eyes very much.

"The price is okay, the agreement plus the company, a total of half a million dollars." Torch Spirit said a little uplifted.
