Chapter 76

Finally came to the library building, Zhuang Yichang breathed a sigh of relief.

In this short distance, he was bumped into his arms by three girls, four girls asked him questions, several boys wanted to invite him to go to the Qinglou together, and a male teacher who had been single for many years wanted to consult a few questions alone.

It's too hard for me.

In the future, this Taishu Academy will still come rarely.

Zhuang Yisheng walked into the library building and strolled around, but there were still many people peeking here, and Zhuang Yisheng could only force himself to get used to it.

He pulled a random book from the shelf, flipped through it, and put it back on the shelf.

Zhuang Yisheng's speed of reading is still quite fast, not that he can read fast, mainly because of the zero in his mind, and he completely uses his eyes as scanners.

The content that Zhuang Yisheng has seen is scanned and stored by Zero, and when Zhuang Yisheng needs it, it can be retrieved at any time, and for a super-intelligent mechanical life, there is naturally no need to worry about it being forgotten.

So to a certain extent, Zhuang Yisheng can be said to be unforgettable.

"You can't do that. ”

A voice suddenly sounded, and Zu Yancao appeared in front of Zhuang Yisheng:

"Even though you have some talent for arithmetic, but in order to learn the way, you still need to take one step at a time, don't be greedy, you must know that you can't chew too much. ”

Zhuang Yisheng nodded: "What Mr. said is true." ”

What I thought to myself was, where am I studying, I just let others know that I am learning, and find a suitable reason for my ability to show.

Zu Yancao nodded with satisfaction: "I just saw that you flipped through the books of alchemy, formations, talismans, inscriptions, etc., are you also choosing the direction of the next step." Although arithmetic is the foundation of the Great Dao, it must always be applied, and studying arithmetic alone is a chore. ”

"Do you have any recommendations, sir?"

"Hmm. Zu Yan said: "Inscriptions and runes require a lot of calculations, I recommend you to start with the runes, the runes are passed, and the formation is also passed, just ......"

Zu Yancao originally wanted to say that it happened that the old man also knew some talismans. Then you can wait for Zhuang Yisheng to ask him for advice.

Seeing that Zhuang Yisheng didn't mean anything about it, he took out a few books from the shelf: "I'll borrow some books and go back to study." ”

"Well, the way of that talisman is difficult and complicated, and if there is no guide, I am afraid that there will be many detours. Hehe, the old man has not accepted apprentices for many years, and he doesn't know who to pass on his understanding of the way of the talisman. ”

"Don't worry, sir, I'm sure you'll find the right person you like. ”

Zu Yancao was speechless for a while, I have already hinted so obviously, why don't you understand.

"Are you going to take it back and study on your own?"

"Yes. Zhuang Yisheng took out a few more books and put them in his arms.

"Well, exactly ten days later, there's an exam on talismans, and you can give it a try. ”

Zu Yan thought to himself, when the time comes, you hit the stone, and you want to worship me as a teacher again, I must take a good stand.

"Another exam?"

Zhuang Yisheng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested.

There are not many other things in Taishuyuan, but there are a lot of exams, almost once a month, and they are very accurate.

Zhuang Yisheng collected hundreds of books about the formation in the library building, and they were all ready to borrow them.

Originally, the library was not allowed to borrow so many books at a time, and no one would do so, but there are exceptions to everything, and now Zhuang Yisheng is the special object of Zu Yancao's attention, and Zhuang Yisheng is a special case.

He collected the books in one place, registered them, and put them in his treasure bag.

Then he took his leave.

Zu Yancao saw Zhuang Yisheng leave like this, and he didn't ask himself questions at all, and took the opportunity to get close to the meaning. This is completely out of line with common sense, and I don't take me as a math in everyone's eyes.

"Wait, wait. ”

Zu Yancao caught up with Zhuang Yisheng under a locust tree, Zhuang Yisheng turned around and said, "Sir, what's the problem?"

Belch......

Zu Yan was in a hurry, he did have a question and wanted to ask for advice.

"Last time you said, everything is counting, counting is everything, I thought about something, everything is counting, everything can be turned into numbers, but then, what's the use of knowing this?"

"Operations. ”

"Calculation?" Zu Yancao frowned.

"Excuse me, sir, how long can we live with this locust tree on our heads?"

"Everything dies, and trees are no exception, and if this locust tree is not cut down, it should live for a hundred years, but it is already the limit. Zu Yancao didn't know why Zhuang Yisheng asked.

"How does the gentleman make his judgment?"

"Most of it's like that. Zu Yancao was still confused.

If we can know the lifespan of every locust tree in the world, we can roughly judge the normal lifespan of a locust tree. Factors such as weather, soil, and air temperature are all reduced to numbers, and when they are added to the calculation, the judgment can be more accurate. ”

Zu Yancao was thoughtful.

"As with the trees, so it is with all things. If the heavens and the earth are turned into numbers, we can know the weather in advance, and sow seeds accordingly, so that we can have a good harvest without famine. ”

"By counting your body, you can know in advance about the diseases that will arise and treat them in advance. ”

After a while, Zu Yancao nodded slowly, his eyes were not clear, but he looked even more confused.

"You have a point, I didn't expect that counting could be used like this. This should be the pinnacle of mathematics, but it must require a huge amount of calculations and advanced arithmetic knowledge. ”

"Manpower is sometimes poor. Zhuang Yisheng nodded: "Maybe you can build a machine, like an abacus, to help people calculate." ”

"Can you do it?"

Zhuang Yisheng smiled and shook his head: "I don't know." ”

The zero in my mind is not such a principle, of course, this is a black technology far beyond the entire era.

After Zhuang Yisheng left, Zu Yancao was still thoughtful, and suddenly, his eyes brightened, as if he had found the direction he pursued for the rest of his life.

Hurriedly returning to his lodgings, he took out a piece of talisman paper and prepared his pen and ink, and he fell into deep thought.

Although the way of arithmetic is a thing that needs to endure loneliness, it is not possible to work behind closed doors, and it is also necessary to communicate with people.

Zu Yancao has a fellow practitioner who lives in Xitu, and the two often exchange letters.

"Old friend, I suddenly had a thought recently, maybe it's the best of arithmetic......

He wrote the contents on the rune paper, then folded it into a paper crane, and gently released it, and the paper crane spread its wings and disappeared into the sky.

In this era, there are also remote communication methods, and the one used by Zu Yancao is one of them.

Of course, relying on this kind of paper crane communication, ordinary rune paper is not good, and the cost of each communication is almost one spirit stone.

A spirit stone is exchanged for 10,000 taels of silver, for ordinary people, he can't earn 10,000 taels after working day and night for 50 years.

Therefore, this method of communication can only be the preserve of certain people.

The premise is that there is a certain knowledge of the talisman, and that you are particularly rich.
