Chapter 167: The Future of Astrologers
The book on the table is a set of introductory P language. Because it was something that had already been written into a book, Lin didn't ban the two girls from watching it again. And in order to speed up and deepen their memory, they used the most troublesome way, which was to copy books.
Until now, they have copied two or three sets of physical books in the P language, all of which have been requisitioned by an unscrupulous teacher to do favors. It's not another set of giveaways.
Perhaps the wry smile that he had not used in his life had been exhausted on this day, and Spiller looked at the elegantly written and beautifully bound books on the table. P Language and Mathematics, he had already obtained the version of the forum from the association.
Although he does not have the status of a magician or apprentice, he can still entrust some good magicians to buy relevant knowledge from Nanta. The association also does not prohibit such behavior, as long as one person wants to know, he pays the price of one share.
And this set of books, Master Spiller read it, although it is not difficult to understand, that is, there are a lot of things that need to be memorized, but he read it at a loss. This confusion is precisely because of the confusion about the future of the profession of astrologer.
He had been following Gaybrash Tripwood fairly early, two and a half years before the Great Sage's Tower had destroyed a squad of inspectors in the Cadiz Quarter. 'The occasional magician' was the first term Lin received.
The occasional type of magician refers to a magician who has a bad magical talent and a bad reputation. But when you get a magic tower, you can show a strength that no one can imagine. This kind of magician has one thing in common, that is, they are very intelligent, and they are not a reckless man. Although it may be a little neurotic, the slightest wind and grass can cause a violent reaction.
Since the astrologer became independent from the branch of magicians, the two parties have always despised each other, but they have broken their relationship. Compared to the images in the fantasy stories that Lin had seen, the magician of the Lost Land was not entirely equated with words such as wisdom and erudition. Many magicians have learned the apprentice-level three-ring magic, and the rest of the day relies on muscles, or magic-infused muscles, to solve things.
On the contrary, people who have no magical talent, but are unwilling to give up, become astrologers. The similarity between these people is that their ingenuity is not lost to the magicians; It is this arrogance that makes them unwilling to give up this path and keep wandering outside the threshold. But talent, such an innate thing, can't be forced.
Because they can't use magic, astrologers are always threatened by magicians with muscles; However, for some magicians, who only know how to squander their talents, but are unwilling to calm down, study and improve their magical skills, astrologers even call them reckless.
It is precisely because he does not think that his wisdom and knowledge will lose to those magicians, so Spiller has been looking for a way not to rely on magical talents.
Now the answer seemed to be in front of him, but he was holding back. The reason is simple, because this answer was not something they came up with, but someone else sent it to the door. And it doesn't seem like a free choice, they seem to be forced down this path. But if you really go up, will you succeed? Or is it just a trap.
For another person here who has some calculations, coming to this point today should actually be regarded as crooked. In the beginning, Lin didn't think about it that much. Or rather, he doesn't have the big picture at all. Who can expect a person who has been living in the house for half his life, and after crossing over, he is rolling at the bottom and fighting for his head, who can smile and look at the country and guide the world. In many things, he relied on the knowledge from the earth to push the boat smoothly.
And the group of astrologers in the lost land is also a little up and down. Although important, it is not directly related to life. Simply put, they will be respected, but not as high as a pastor who saves lives. Of course, in terms of monetary income, it is often the kind that has problems with food and clothing.
Therefore, the vast majority of astrologers will continue to create their own added value. Erudition is one of them, and becoming a staff member of the ruler can be said to be the best way out. Not many people can make a living by simply observing astronomical stars and predicting the weather of the next week.
However, the prediction process is not only complex, but also has different prediction directions due to sudden changes in various astrological signs. Therefore, at the beginning of a new week, astrologers do not have to do anything cool, but have to start carefully observing astronomical changes to prepare for predictions.
The closer you are to the time you want to predict, the easier it is to get an accurate prediction. However, it doesn't make sense if it's too close, so the minimum standard for an astrologer is to be able to give the next week's weather changes three days before to be considered a qualified astrologer.
So it's conceivable that after the heavy work of preparation and the results, there is not much time left for the astrologer to make some extra money. And that three-day qualification is actually the minimum amount of time for astrologers to find a second source of income to support themselves. This is also the highest threshold for this profession to enter. Those who couldn't cross it, all left.
It can be said that astrologers who can cross this threshold, whether they take the right path or go off the rails, have a certain guarantee of intelligence. And it won't be an old-fashioned old pedant, or a hard-nosed hard-nosed person. In the course of the development of astrologers over the past few hundred years, they have been constantly looking for more accurate predictions and are committed to creating more possibilities for the profession of astrologer.
But even in such a culture, there have been many amazing astrologers in history, but they have not been able to develop mathematics, logic, and more theoretical and systematic astronomy, which makes Lin very puzzled. But if you think about the culture of magicians and astrologers, this result is very natural.
Only those who can't be magicians become astrologers. To put it bluntly, from the very beginning, this was a bunch of losers. In this context, they are quite serious and protective of their own things. In addition, there is no such ascension as the great sage of Atoli thousands of years ago, who advocated that magicians should pay attention to communication and inheritance, and established a prototype of the operation of the magician association. Therefore, the most common thing these genius astrologers do is to protect their research and knowledge in the grave.
Thinking about the ancient civilization of the earth, which is known as 5,000 years old, where did the Yue Wang Sword, the Qin crossbow, the wooden ox flowing horse, and the Tang Mo knife end up, it is not difficult to understand that the astrologer of the Lost Land has developed for hundreds of thousands of years, or the fundamental reason for this bird-like appearance.
Putting aside the cultural issues within astrologers, is it good to include these people in a new system at a time when the foundations of the entire profession are shaky?
These people are ambitious, self-motivated, and brainy; To be able to deduce the future in the midst of those complicated and irregularity rules, there is no doubt about the logic and reasoning ability. Looking at all the groups in the world of Lost Land, who is more suitable to become a programmer ape than astrologers!
Since there is a group that is suitable, then the rest is the question of whether Lin is willing to hand over this knowledge......
Then you don't need to ask, of course, the more the merrier. By one person...... Now it's two people, and the dream of playing Assassin Creed in the Lost Land may be even more elusive than finding Earth and returning home. It's hard to even come out with a whole pixel game, and you can see it differently in your lifetime.
Adhering to the concept of open source of the earth, the more people participate, the more brilliant sparks are likely to be stirred. This is Lin's attitude towards the program. As for the exclusivity and leadership of technology, that's bullshit.
Looking at how many sneaky figures have been around recently, and what their purpose is, it is not difficult to understand the truth of 'the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty'. Treat things as treasures, and after such things are rotten on the street, everyone has their own abilities, which one will be more secure for the safety of Lin?
As for learning some introductory skills, you can play some large-scale projects? So no one will come to someone's trouble for this consideration?
…… Hmm~, the natives of the lost land don't understand. There is nothing wrong with letting them have their dreams in their arms. And the threat to their own lives can be postponed until they find out about this fact, what's so bad.
In short, the rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and it is correct to learn how to get started first. If you don't know about variables, loops, or conditionals, you want to write a Windows, and even Bill Gates can't do it. Jobs maybe, after all, this big man is the kind of mouth talker.
I won't mention the of the celebrities on Earth here. Lin was in the happy mind of pushing people into the fire pit, looking at the old man with a bitter face who was speechless for a long time, and couldn't help but reflect on himself, did he go too far? But this arrangement is the best choice for everyone.
But Lin, who has not been a newcomer to society for a long time, how could he not know that everyone will have their own considerations. What I conceive is not necessarily the best for others. To put it simply, the world doesn't revolve around me, and it's not like what I want to be.
So you can't get carried away, and you can't push people too much. As far as the general trend is concerned, whether the astrologers jump into this pit or not, or whether Master Spiller is willing to jump into the pit with the entire group of astrologers, Lin will release the killer weapon of programming language.
One is to divert the artillery fire concentrated on himself, and the second is to hope that more people will devote themselves to this work. Maybe the people who learn to write programs don't have a magic tower that allows them to show their talents. But the programming language of the world of the Lost Land, like the Earth, has infinite possibilities.
Among other things, Finn has been working on several projects recently, in addition to helping someone develop a program to simulate the stars, trying to build a set of instant messaging software. Of course, Lin had told her about the harmfulness of this kind of thing. But a certain lich said domineeringly, "I wrote it for my own use, and I don't make it public, can't I?" ”
Absolutely, my sister. Even if you're not playing with one of the four guns, the small one won't have any opinions.

I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Starry Sky of the Magic Tower", pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
