Chapter 603: Military Order
This is just like my original conjecture, this group of people who are optimistic about the future of mathematics want to get not profit, but fame. Or, to put it more nobly, they want to do their best to contribute to mathematics and not let their research rot in their notes, so they need a stage where they can publish it publicly. The so-called name is just an add-on that comes with it.
As long as there is an open stage, it is not so important for these magicians who only want to focus on their research. If you don't enter the academy, you will not be allowed to discuss and study with your apprentices and friends in your own small place. And to be honest, there are also many people who don't like the teaching method of a cauldron like an environment like an academy.
However, this regularly published book has some restrictions on submissions, and of course these people have to ask what the rules of the game are. As for the limited space, everyone doesn't particularly care about such a trivial matter as merit-based publication. From the reader's point of view, they also don't want to see some inexplicable garbage content in a very valuable academic book.
And the magicians who were very energetically discussed, in addition to those who had already taken math classes and belonged to someone's supporters, those who did not take math classes, most of them also joined the discussion. Looking at this hot picture, another group of people were anxious again. If this regularly published book is completed again, wouldn't the money they make have nothing to do with them?
If talking about money is too snobbish, then with this book as a bond, all participants will naturally gather into a new force because of a common position. As you can imagine, this force should not be underestimated. This is something that is difficult for those power-hungry college presidents to accept.
Seeing the Fasage Millerdiardis sitting firmly at the main table with a mysterious smile, one of the anxious college heads hurriedly shouted, "Your Excellency Tripwood." ”
"Yes, what advice?" Lin replied reflexively.
"Regarding the book you are talking about, the power to review whose articles are published should be in the hands of the Magician Association, and you should not be a small magician with such a heavy responsibility. Mistress Millerdiardis, do you think I am right? ”
The Fa Sheng, who was suddenly dragged into the water, was stunned for a moment, but even more stunned was someone who had been bombarded with a bunch of questions before. He blurted out without even thinking about it, saying, "Don't make a fuss, which of you is qualified to review me?" What's more, it was the people from the association who told me that mathematics is not magic, and they are not qualified to enter the association. ”
Suddenly, everyone wanted to find out the little undertaker who was doing this at that time and break his body into 10,000 pieces!
Looking at a group of white-haired and white-bearded old men, with a stool expression on their faces, Lin realized that he had overspoken. Hurriedly said haha: "Seniors, I don't mean anything disrespectful. It's just that in the discipline of mathematics, it is really not based on status to decide whose articles to publish. Instead, we must first understand, then judge right and wrong, and finally read the value of the article. ”
A group of people who ate flies wanted to vomit blood at this point. Is this an apology? How does it sound like a mending? This is because today is about mathematics, and if you are talking about magic, you will definitely take this guy out there and use all kinds of magic to fool him!
"What if the big library came forward to collect this knowledge?" Fasan Millettiadis spoke abruptly at this time.
Not sure what this big man was thinking, Lin didn't immediately refuse, but asked politely: "My lord, is there a precedent for similar things?" ”
"Not really. The big library has always only included the knowledge and knowledge that others have voluntarily sent, and what we are responsible for is just sorting and sorting. Do you have any good comments in this regard? ”
Drag the big library into the water and put on an official vest. Lin pondered all the possibilities, but was quickly rejected by himself.
The reason is also very simple, if Sun Monkey broke free from Wuzhi Mountain by himself, it is the sea and the sky to swim; But those who are released can only wear shackles. Again, the authorities have been able to do little to help with this science, except to help promote it. So will this skin become a help or a shackle in the end?
was criticized by a group of old men, Lin had no opinion. After all, people's age and experience are there, and it is always good to listen more. But being pointed at by a group of old men who don't understand anything......
So Lin thought for a while and said cautiously: "My lord, the status of the big library is transcendent, and if you rashly get involved in external affairs, you will inevitably have its feedback, and I don't know if it's good or bad. What's more, maybe I can't run this journal, and if I mess up, won't I smash the name of the big library together. If the Great Library is willing to recognize and include periodicals, I would like to present ten periodicals to the Great Library after each issue. ”
As soon as someone spoke proudly, he couldn't help but attract everyone's attention. Lost paper is expensive, books are even more expensive! Because every book, except for the cost of materials, is written down word by word by a scribe. And ten books as a gift, it is definitely a big deal. Even if he had been affected by someone's verbal offense before, it was difficult for Millerdiardis to have a seizure.
At this time, Fa Sheng asked, "The journal you are talking about, but the name of this book?" ”
"No, my lord, 'periodical' refers to books and periodicals published during a fixed period, not a name. For the name, I would like to use the term 'Mathematics Journal' directly. "Even if someone wants to be a 'scientific journal' in their heart, covering a wide range of disciplines. But I am afraid that such a stride will be too big, and others will not adapt well, so I use the name of the knowledge that is mainly provided in this book.
Millerdiardis nodded and said, "Mathematical journal, nice name." Have you thought about where to sell it? Without the pipes of the association and the help of the big library, you wouldn't have your own store. "Together
"Not really, sir. So with the permission of the head of Kabambai, I would like to borrow a classroom in the Mathematics Building as a place to prepare and sell. Otherwise, I'd have to do these things in my own home. ”
At this time, the archmage Kabanbai hurriedly stood up, patted his chest and said, "No problem, Lord Tripwood. The college will do its best to serve this knowledge. ”
"By the way, how many books do you have ready? Can you read it? Fa Sheng asked again.
Lin smiled heartily and said respectfully, "I haven't finished a book yet." When it's done, I'll send it to the adult's magic tower myself. ”
But, Millerdiardis was dumbfounded again. There are only eight days left before the release date of the first mathematical journal promised by this magician. Then I didn't prepare a single one, and I even said that I would give ten copies to the big library. Young man~
Fa Sheng couldn't help but shake his head regretfully for this young man who didn't know the height of the sky. But neither the words nor the warnings were uttered. Maybe this man can really do it. In the face of magic, a cautious and qualified magician will never say anything to death. If you really let the other party figure it out.
When the great magician Kabanbay heard someone's words, it could be said that he was the most devastating person in the audience. Before a single book was ready, it promised to give away 10 copies to the big library, and even more exaggeratedly, it would be sold publicly in eight days! I really don't know how many scribes have to be exhausted to death before it is possible to reach the other party's idea.
But there are also people who are overjoyed when they hear these words. Because they were struggling to find a way to deal with this man, they didn't expect the other party to put the knife in their hands. In this case, if you don't stab yourself a few times, you're really sorry for yourself.
A banquet ended in everyone's different thoughts. Overall, everyone got a decent result, though not the most satisfying. And the point in time when all this was won and lost was just eight days later, on the first day of the month VII (July) in the year of DCCXXXI (731) in the Aramaic calendar. Whether or not that mathematical journal can appear largely determines the movements of most of the magicians present.
It's just that although the banquet is over, someone's rented carriage is the last to leave. Because Lin and the other three masters and apprentices have been waiting for the lich that has not appeared.
While waiting in the carriage, Hayashi took out the memo files from the past and reorganized them into a project and an evaluation of various alternatives. The blonde girl looked worried, looking out of the carriage window from time to time.
"Teacher, will my sister be in danger?" Halumi asked.
"Dangerous?" Lin raised his eyebrows, seriously thinking about what the incident would be dangerous to that lich. Is the lost sun about to turn into a red giant? Or is the Earth's core collapsing, and the entire planetary body preparing for a big explosion? A certain world tree is connected to a bad place, and it is out of control, and antimatter from other dimensions is pouring into the maze, ready to destroy everything here?
There are signs of danger of this magnitude, but if it is not of this magnitude, it will not threaten the lich. So who is she......
Looking at the dim moonlight outside the window that was hidden by clouds and mist, Lin thought for a moment and ordered, "It's late, let the coachman send us back." Your sisters won't get lost if they want to come back. There's still a lot to do tomorrow, so I have to rest early today. ”
Harumi was instructed and turned to give instructions to the coachman. Because, as their teacher said, my sister can't be in danger. It's just blind faith.
At this time, Kaya, who was also buried in the field of vision of his glasses, raised his head and asked, "Is it a matter of a mathematical journal?" ”
"Oh, you know that, too."
"On the forum, the relevant discussion has been fried. Everyone is waiting to see what you are doing, teacher. No one thinks that in eight days, you can copy out as many books as you want to sell. However, there is also speculation that you are going to sell the e-books stored in the magic stones, or that you should have the book buyer bring their own scribe and let them find their own way to copy the book. It's not bad that the person who is helping you talk about this method all the time. It's just that these words were scolded by another group of people to the point of stink. ”
"That's right." Lin responded listlessly.
"Do you want us to help?" Kaya asked.
"No, I've already made arrangements. When the time comes, you can borrow some people from the head of Kabambai, and you won't need them. Lin refused.
"That's it." Kaya's voice hid a hint of disappointment, and even Harumi had a desperate expression.
