The correct way to open the sprite

Chapter 48 Numbers and Alchemy

"According to the principle of doubling the stick of rice grains exchanged for every ten catties of salt, I must exchange all the three hundred catties of salt in my hand at one time.

So, is there anyone here who is willing to exchange with me? "

After Feng Yu finished speaking, many people rushed to say that they wanted to exchange. Among them, Dick shouted the loudest. He looked at the people around him with a smile, and felt that he saw a group of mentally retarded people. The eyes of the people around him were similar .

"I checked and found that most people are willing to exchange. But Mr. Anthony seems to have said nothing. If there is such a deal, are you willing to exchange?"

Anthony said blankly, "Why not?"

Feng Yu looked at the alchemist: "Master Clarence, what is your choice?"

Clarence Leiyun looked at the smiling Feng Yu and said, "Although I know that the person who owns the salt must take advantage of this deal, I am still willing to exchange it."

Feng Yu got Clarence's answer, and he was able to talk to the alchemist, so he didn't play tricks anymore, and started writing numbers on the blackboard, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16... until No. 20, the number is 1048576, which is more than 100 million, and the number of No.30 is [-] million.

After he finished writing, he marked the corresponding elf text under the number.

"I like numbers, because they allow me to understand the development of things around me more clearly. I have weighed halfling brother's stick rice, and the dried stick rice grains are about [-] grains per catty.

That is to say, excluding the previous 29 transactions, the No. 30 transaction alone, the person who chooses to trade needs to pay about 64 catties of stick rice for the last ten catties of salt, and No. 20 is 32 catties for the nine transactions. .

Therefore, it takes about a million catties of stick rice to exchange for the [-] catties of salt in my hands. There is no doubt that no one can get that much stick rice, and even if they can, it is impossible to exchange it with me.

See, this is the magic of numbers.

In our place, a person invented a game of chess, which is very popular with the king. The king asked that person to choose the reward, and that person used the method I just said, and asked the king to invent for him. Put a grain of grain on it.

Interestingly, the chessboard he invented had 64 grids, and even if the rich king sold his empire, he couldn't satisfy the man's small request. "

After Feng Yu finished telling this little story, he looked at the people who were stunned at the moment, and continued: "In our place, mathematics includes not only simple calculations, but also geometry, which is an indispensable mathematical knowledge for war. .

Everyone knows that the bolts on the ballista are thrown..."

Feng Yu then talked about the parabolic calculation method for the calculation of the landing point, and also talked about probability and equations. He also used the equations to calculate some problems such as adding water and releasing water, chickens and rabbits in the same cage.

Finally, Feng Yu also explained in detail combined with experiments the applied statistics and numerical analysis that caught the attention of the alchemist Clarence.

Then, he asked the students to learn numbers and operation symbols here, and recite the multiplication table. This math class is considered to be over.

After class, Feng Yu was invited by Clarence to his alchemy laboratory. Feng Yu had been thinking about this tent for a long time, and today he relied on the power of mathematics to get what he wanted.

Clarence invited Feng Yu because Feng Yu said in class that the alchemy laboratory in his hometown used mathematics, so Clarence invited Feng Yu to discuss alchemy with him.

How could Feng Yu know what alchemy is? He even learned about the so-called hometown laboratory through film and television works.

But this is not a problem for Feng Yu, blow it!

Not talking about alchemy experiments, just talking about the operation of the laboratory and the concept of the experiment, he can make Clarence doubt his first half of his life as an elf.

Feng Yu didn't talk about the experiment, but first commented on the fact that there were only two apprentices in Clarence's laboratory, and told Clarence that the laboratories in his hometown were all operated by large-scale gangs.

As the person in charge of the laboratory, he only needs to preside over the alchemy experimental project, control the general direction, and then let the apprentices design various variables of the experimental materials. Finally, a large number of assistants conduct variable experiments at the same time, and the apprentices record the data of the experimental results.

In the end, Clarence only needs to observe the difference in the results to obtain a large amount of analytical data for reasonable analysis.

This point of view caught Clarence's eyes.

Finally, Feng Yu also took out his trump card, which is the periodic table of elements.Of course, Feng Yu couldn't memorize the periodic table of elements at all, but Feng Yu arranged for himself to be a mathematician at Clarence, so it's not normal.

Feng Yu told Clarence the composition and connection of various substances, which surprised Clarence. He lamented Feng Yu Dalu's superb alchemy research, no wonder he was able to extract safe salt from the sea.

Feng Yu smiled slightly, with a gesture of sprinkling water.

He told Clarence that they had only just begun to have this kind of theory there, and had not yet formed a complete table system.

He told Clarence that the alchemists in their continent believed that an alchemist who could perfect this table and make the correct order of elements would surely surpass the realm of a master alchemist and become a saint among alchemists.

Seeing the longing on Clarence's face, Feng Yu knew that the elf was tempted.

The competition among elf artists can be said to be the rare and fiercest competition within elves, which shows that elves are not indifferent to fame and wealth, but use this energy in the wrong field, and Feng Yu wants to correct this mistake.

He told Lachrence badly about the situation of his hometown's alchemy industry, mainly talking about the thesis system. Feng Yu told Lachlanc that this is the way of competition among alchemists on their side similar to that between great artists .

The establishment of the thesis system and related publications is definitely one of the sources of motivation for the competition among great scientists. Feng Yu must fool the alchemy world of the elves into this path of no return.

Feng Yu said that when the salt is exchanged for money in the future, he can contribute to help Lachrens build a large alchemy laboratory and help him complete the discovery of the periodic table of elements.

He also told Clarence that in his hometown, the unwritten rule in the alchemy world is the right to name, whether it is an alchemy product or an element, etc., alchemists are qualified to name and colleagues must recognize it.

Feng Yu also told Clarence about the mass production of alchemy products in their hometown, which benefited life and war.

He told Clarence that in his hometown, because of the mass production of alchemy products, the status of alchemists is even higher than that of magicians of the same level, because the magic of magicians can only be used by themselves, but alchemy products can benefit everyone. A civilian, arming every soldier.
