Chapter 107 Blair's Turtle [Also 9/14]
Chen Luo never thought he was a hero, although people outside called him that.
He helped Lorran through the difficulties, and it was just a deal.
His Majesty the King spent a full five thousand gold coins for this. Of course, Chen Luo had to do things a little better, so the scholar Gaya, who pretended to be a slap, was forced to stay here for a month, and polished all his strength.
But these five thousand gold coins are just rewards for those who stay.
Further shaking the foundation of Kaya's school is not within the scope agreed upon.
Destroying the foundation of the school is tantamount to beating people in the face and killing people in the heart. This is a scene that never ends, and Chen Luo generally doesn't know how to do it.
Unless you add money.
Children are always naive. Only adults with a little physical foundation know that love cannot generate electricity, but gold coins can do it.
Chen Luo would not reveal the old foundation of the Gaya school for the illusory glory of the Kingdom of Luolan, and would never die with the Gaya scholars.
But he can do that for his dream.
His dream is to become the most powerful magician. This great dream needs gold coins to support.
Calvin was not surprised by Chen Luo's words. He thought for a while and said, "His Excellency Blair saved Yabo City and saved Lorran's honor. On behalf of the Lorran Mathematics Association, I will reward Your Excellency Blair with another 2,000 gold coins."
"make a deal."
When he walked out of St. Donas Academy, Calvin looked a little dazed.
It’s not because he felt sorry for the gold coins. Although the two thousand gold coins were not a small number for the Yapo City Branch, if Luo Lan could turn the defeat into victory, even if the number of gold coins was multiplied by ten, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
What really made him confused and frightened was Chen Luo’s problem.
This problem seems to be a mathematical problem, but it is not just a mathematical problem. It involves philosophy, science, and even the essence of time and space...
Calvin could have predicted that the emergence of this problem would have a greater impact on the mathematics community than the emergence of irrational numbers.
Irrational numbers have always existed, but it has only been discovered due to scholars' negligence.
And this problem will drag countless mathematicians into the abyss of fear, and Gaya, who is the center of world mathematics, will be the first to be affected.
Just as irrational numbers mean the same to the Howard family and the numerical schools, this question mainly targets the Gaya school.
As long as Calvin takes that step forward, the situation between Gaya and Lorran will be completely reversed.
This trip to Lorraine by scholars Gaya will become the biggest joke.
But Calvin dared not.
He could not predict the consequences of this incident, because this problem was shaken not only by the beliefs of scholars of Gaya, but also by the scholars of Lorraine and even scholars of the Continent of God's Glory.
The scholars here refer not only to mathematicians, but also to philosophers and scientific scholars...
...
Calvin returned to the Mathematics Association in a daze, and Audrey handed him a letter with anger.
The letter was sent from the capital, which stated that although the scholars of Gaya were blocked in Yabo, the Kingdom of Gaya was already promoting the incidents of their visiting scholars sweeping across the mathematical world of the Kingdom of Lorraine.
After all, compared with the small setbacks in Apo City, they achieved a large-scale, overwhelming victory in Loram.
Ignoring this small flaw, Jiaya's purpose has actually achieved it.
The small setbacks in Yapo City will not affect Gaya's overall victory. If nothing unexpected happens, the scholars of Loran will not be able to raise their heads in front of Gaya's scholars for a long time in the future.
Audrey sighed and said with great regret: "If these three problems had occurred earlier, they would have been able to stop Gaya when he arrived in Lorrain... Unfortunately, it was too late."
"No, it's not too late." Calvin's face showed a hint of ruthlessness and gritted his teeth, "Since it was Gaya who attacked us first, then--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
After being troubled by those three problems for a whole month in Gaya's visiting scholars' group, the devil in the mathematics community of the Kingdom of Lorraine took new actions.
After those three questions, there was an additional question on the reward wall of the Yabo Mathematical Association.
This question sounds a bit funny, but the deep meaning contained in the question has caused countless people to think deeply... and even panic.
The strongest man in the Kingdom of Gaya, Achilles, the great master of the wind, how long does it take to catch up with a turtle?
This is the fourth question for the devil Blair.
Achilles is a famous strong man in the Kingdom of Gaya. He has the realm of a great magician. His name and the entire Divine Glory Continent are almost everyone who knows it.
The question of Your Excellency Blair is described as follows: If there is a turtle that is ahead of the great magician Achilles, how long will it take for Achilles to catch up with this turtle?
This is a simple question that cannot be simpler. As long as you give the speed of the turtle, the speed of the great magician Achilles, and the distance between the two, any mathematician can give the correct answer.
However, the devil Blair gave them another answer.
No matter how fast the great mage Achilles was, he would never catch up with the tortoise.
Because when Achilles chased the turtle to the starting position, the turtle had already moved forward for a while. When Achilles passed this distance, the turtle would move forward for a while, and so on, this process can continue infinitely. If Achilles wants to catch up with the turtle, then he must reach the starting position of the turtle, but during this period, the turtle had crawled forward for a short period of time...
The conclusion is that Achilles, the great master of wind genre, who is famous for his speed, will never catch up with a slow turtle.
This conclusion seems ridiculous. Not to mention the great wind magician Achilles, even a three-year-old child, can catch up with the tortoise and step on its head.
But what they all know, don't the Edwin Award winner know?
After careful consideration, they discovered the horror of this problem.
The logic of this problem is self-consistent.
They can find out when Achilles chases over the tortoise, but there is a prerequisite for this, that is, they know that Achilles can catch up with the tortoise.
But the problem is, they can't explain how Achilles caught up with the tortoise...
Blair divided Achilles's process of chasing the turtle into infinite parts. Later, the distance between Achilles and the turtle was infinitely small, and the time required to catch up with this distance was infinitely short.
But even if this period is short, it can continue to be divided.
If time and space can be separated like this forever, Achilles will never be able to catch up with the tortoise.
And time and space can be infinitely divided----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Gaya School believes that time and space can be separated infinitely, which is an important proposition of the Gaya School, and it is also a consensus among the mathematics, science, and humans in the continent of Divine Glory.
To overturn Blair's conclusion, we must first overturn the premise that time and space can be infinitely divided, and we must overturn the proposition of the Gaya school, to rebuild a new worldview for Gaya, Lorrain, and all scholars of the God-Grand Continent.
The continuity of time and space is the consensus of the entire human race. Just imagine, if even it is wrong, then what else is real?
The emergence of this problem made many visiting scholars of Gaya no longer care about the three questions, the problems of Lord Achilles and the Turtle, and directly hit the beliefs of many schools of Gaya, whose schools encountered the biggest crisis in history.
Obviously, Lord Achilles will definitely be able to catch up with the damn turtle, and the devil Blair's conclusion is wrong!
But do they dare to say that Blair is wrong?
They dare not.
If Blair is wrong, the many schools of Gaya's proposals are wrong.
This is a paradox!
Tang En looked at the question on the paper, his lips trembled, his face turned blue, and he said with a trembling voice: "Devil, he is the real devil!"
