Enter the Immortal Cultivation

"Are you saying that you need to expand the size of the fundamental sect?" Zhao Qingtan was not very surprised by this, but he still asked in turn.

The school does not mean that it expands when it expands. Academic factions Academic factions must at least be academics before they can be called a "sect" figure.

Of course, the vast majority of people practicing law today are doing academic work.

But in fact, the system of Jinfa is somewhat similar to the "publish an article or die" atmosphere of universities on Earth. In universities, whether you are in a teaching position or a scientific research position, you are required to publish articles. This has largely contributed to the explosion in the number of papers on the planet.

On earth, hundreds of thousands of theorems are published every year. But most of them are useless.

Perhaps behind every useless theorem is a university teacher who wants to keep his job - or a master's degree who just wants to graduate with a diploma.

Nowadays, the Dharma monks are similar. If you want to obtain better resources [the resources here include not only spiritual energy elixirs, but also higher-level methods, guidance from famous teachers, and others], you need to exchange papers for merit points. For the core monks of the Immortal Alliance, this line is in vain, but a large number of monks in the periphery are blocked by this line. They have to spend most of their lives to accumulate wealth in exchange for a low-grade soul.

This inequality actually exists.

Not all monks who publish papers can be regarded as "doing academic work."

Fortunately, this is a world of magic. Almost all monks also have the profession of "engineer". Even if their own research capabilities are insufficient, they can still accumulate cases and add motivation to the improvement of various methods.

This is still the bottom layer.

In fact, the "middle level" of modern law may not be able to be called a "school".

In China, schools of thought are mostly academic groups that come together because they have the same views on a more critical issue. The key word here is "critical issue".

Not everyone is qualified to touch on the most critical issues in a field. It’s not about “research” here, but “thinking”.

It sounds nice to have a high position, but in fact, there are not many things that can be seen clearly on the top of the mountain. Many times, when you stand on the top of the mountain, you can't see the bottom of the mountain clearly. And the "road at the foot of the mountain" is the road that most people can take.

For "most people", gaining a view from the top of the mountain is not only not helpful for walking at the foot of the mountain, but will actually make them lose their way.

This is also the reason why more than half a million schools of thought still don’t care about this even when the master of calculation is at the peak of his power and the calculation of yuan calculation has almost become a “belief”.

I guess it's something on the top of the mountain, and it won't help the work of people at the bottom of the mountain.

Especially what some people are planning to climb is another mountain.

Generally speaking, a school consists of a core of several or dozens of free monks, plus a large number of great masters and third-level monks who may become free monks.

The rest can only be regarded as peripheral members of the school, disciples of members of a certain school, or even just "supporters".

At the beginning, the Bourbaki school would even teach primary school students, and Gelfand would also educate middle school students. However, no one would think that the original French primary school students or Soviet middle school students were members of the Bourbaki School or the Moscow School.

Feng Luoyi once had a name in the Getingzhai, and Wang Qi was considered a peripheral member of the Geting sect because of his relationship with Feng Luoyi.

Every school of thought will have many peripheral members. These peripheral members can be regarded as the future vital force of a school of thought.

Wang Qi said: "I don't just want some peripheral members...to develop more."

"Don't you think it's a big step?" Zhao Qingtan asked: "The fundamental sect can only be regarded as just starting out."

"No, look at it this way - we are already a super sect that goes beyond the concept of a simple human race and has multiple members from three or more alien races." Wang Qi said, turned his head and said to Jiao: "You think so, Jiao. "

Jiao curled her lips: "You are just changing the concept, Mr. Wang. There is one Xiao from the New Monster Clan, a few more from the Newer Monster Clan, and a few from the Yu Clan - but according to the standards of your human race, we don't even have peripheral members. It doesn’t even count. You make it sound like we have become masterminds.”

"Anyway, you guys have a high chance of immortality. With such a long life, what can't you do?"

Jiao was stunned for a moment, but she felt a little frustrated: "It will take so long..."

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Zhao Qingtan patted Jiao's shoulder: "If you are interested, it is not difficult to become a mathematician. You can also learn things slowly - but to be like him, it really requires talent. . Just don’t think about competing with him.”

"oh……"

Zhao Qingtan added: "However, Wanfa disciples in other places are basically those who identify with the fundamental sect. Do you want me to discover them in other places? More than that?"

"Well, that's right. I am considered an immortal now after all, and I have to follow the schedule of the Immortal League." Wang Qi looked helpless: "I would like to go back to China to do publicity work, but the application to go back is not allowed. Good hair.”

Zhao Qingtan asked: "But why me? It feels like starting from Nanming, everything you can't do seems to be pushed to my head..."

Chili burst into laughter.

Wang Qi grinned: "Hey, don't say that. In fact, this matter really has to be done by you, Senior Brother Zhao."

"Is there really a reason why I have to do it?" Zhao Qingtan smiled: "Tell me about it?"

"You are handsome."

Zhao Qingtan waited for a long time and didn't hear anything more. He asked doubtfully: "Is this the reason?"

"almost."

"Isn't this a face that can be easily pinched using the shape-changing method? Is that what you do for this?" Zhao Qingtan became angry.

"No, this is the result after comprehensive consideration, but your face is indeed the 'most critical factor'." Wang Qi analyzed seriously: "Look, your current theoretical level is at the forefront of the fundamentalists. Don't be afraid. That’s wrong. Besides, you have taught a large group of students who have no basic knowledge..."

Jiao was unhappy: "Why did it hurt us again..."

"You are the worst class I have ever led, don't interrupt." Wang Qi waved to Jiao and continued his analysis: "Based on these two points, Senior Brother Wei who worked in the Immortal Academy can also do it. But you see Look at Senior Brother Wei’s temperament, isn’t it? He’s stupid and bitter, as if the whole world owes him money, right?”

"Old Wei is not that embarrassed..." Zhao Qingtan said this, but he couldn't help but touch his face: "Just saying that, does it really have to be me?"

"Although I can't go back to China, I still have some privileges. Next time the starship magic weapon for transporting supplies comes, I can give you a stop."

"The one who delivers rice, flour, grain and oil?"

"Well, he's the one who delivers the pork." Wang Qi nodded: "Look for Su Junyu when you get there. Senior Brother Su has a wide network of friends from all walks of life, so he can give you some help."

Seeing that the two of them had almost finished chatting about this topic, Jiao finally found the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Wang, after listening to what you said the day before yesterday, I have some doubts and want to ask for advice."

"Yeah, okay." Wang Qi looked ahead. He estimated that it was still a long way to the Yu Clan settlement area, so he nodded and said, "If you have any questions, just ask."

"Actually, I have some doubts today. How should I put it..." Jiao was a little troubled and wrinkled her green eyebrows: "These... issues of 'schools' within your human race, especially Li Zong and Lian Zong. On a more practical level, there is not much difference between the 'use' and 'skill' of Li Zong and Lian Zong, right?"

Wang Qi nodded: "You can say that."

"I have never understood what Li Zong and Lian Zong are fighting for." Jiao honestly said: "The same goes for today. What you and Mr. Zhao said - since in your eyes, the 'entity' of arithmetic is It exists objectively, so whoever investigates it will have the same result, right? Li Zong and Lian Zong are just looking at it from different directions, so why are they fighting like this?"

"Well, this is a very good phenomenon. If you think about the difference between Li Zong and Lian Zong, it means that you have almost an overall thinking about arithmetic." Wang Qi pondered for a moment: "Let's put it this way, what you see now Arithmetic is actually the result of the struggle between Li Zong and Lian Zong. "

"The earliest mathematicians believed that 'numbers' were transformed from the way of heaven, and that numbers have their own spirit. All quantities can be expressed as the ratio of two integers. Therefore, the first mathematicians called themselves 'numbers'. However, later, Several younger generations have pointed out that there are geometric quantities that cannot be regarded as the ratio of two integers - I have said this before..."

"I said it before." Zhao Qingtan said, "It was written in your lesson plan, but it disappeared before you could talk about it."

"Tsk, why are you so fussy about it!" Wang Qi ignored him and continued: "This kind of split is the split between the Shu family Li Zong and the Lian Zong. The method of painting the sky has redefined arithmetic, and integers are no longer the original objects of arithmetic. , but the 'measurement of line segments'. This is Lian Zong's victory."

"However, when the concept of 'variables' was introduced into arithmetic and the concept of real numbers was re-absorbed by Li Zong, 'line segments' were reduced to Tianyuan formula. A straight line is a Tianyuan formula. This is the concept of 'Tian position'. Geometry is incorporated into the concept of 'analysis'. This is the victory of Li Zong."

"Li Zong and Lian Zong. In the history of Wanfamen, the struggle between these two forces is everywhere. Every time, they feel that they are more correct than the other side, but every time, they will find that the other side has discovered themselves Things that were incomprehensible in the past, then tried to absorb the other side's discoveries to complete themselves and merge the two sects into one. This is true for every victory of the Li sect or the sect. , because those results exist objectively. "

"Yeah, what's the point of this?" Jiao just didn't understand this: "Since everyone has finally learned part of the true meaning, wouldn't it be great if we all sit down and have a good discussion? Why do we have to fight over it?"

"Because the power of an era is limited." Wang Qi sighed.
