Chapter 135 Copying
Cheng Jinzhou, who is at the edge of the world of star warlocks, finds it difficult to digest Jin Xi's so-called longevity.Although he knew that Jiang Huang Star Warlock had lived for one or two hundred years, but he never really imagined the content of it.

No wonder the Star Warlocks all say how to become a three-star Warlock; no wonder that in the thousands of years of history of the Xia Dynasty, people still cannot completely get rid of the influence of the Star Warlock Association and the Holy Church.

Faced with the temptation to increase lifespan, anyone will eventually rush to it.This is like tempting wolves with sheep, fellow villagers with braised pork, Ultraman with monsters, and Superman with perverts.

Cheng Jinzhou looked around, not only the Jin Xixing Warlock, but even the apprentices of the Star Warlock, if they weren't working, they were all studying hard.Although at most only one tenth of them have the opportunity to become a real star warlock.

"A third-level star warlock needs 1000 contribution points, or two star arrays with 500 star points." Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help but asked Jin Xi again: "How many third-level star warlocks are there in Daxia now?"

"There are always more than three-star warlocks." Jin Xi said without raising his head: "You can always find a lot of star warlocks with good physical fitness, but if you want to get 1000 initial contribution points for the association, you only need to look at so many third-level star warlocks that are still there today. You know how difficult it is when you wear a green badge. You have a very good talent..."

Cheng Jinzhou shrugged without passion on the surface, but turned around, and immediately pulled Xiaokang over and asked, "Do you know any constellations that can be used for recording? For example, write them down when you speak."

The earlier mathematics is, the more complicated the proof process is, because many formulas and theorems that can be applied in modern times have not yet been discovered, and there are too few known conditions to make it difficult for people to start. Cheng Jinzhou intends to prove some relatively simple propositions by himself, but unfortunately he never After systematically studying medieval mathematics, it is inevitable that I will be powerless.

Xiaokang was already being directed around and almost lost his head. He was stopped by the Star Warlock and had to answer. He thought for a long time and said: "Part of the sonic star array should be okay, such as Mr. Lu Xu's giant wave star array. It seems that there is a supporting star array that can do it, but he may not be able to engrav it."

The complexity of the star array is no less than the classification of mathematics itself. Xiaokang couldn't explain it clearly, so he had to interrupt his work, and said aggrievedly: "Let me check it for you."

Cheng Jinzhou nodded his head without hesitation. He would definitely not do what he could make people do.

The next day.

The normal discussion meeting was over, but Astromancer An Feng did not leave. Astromancers from other places also seized the opportunity to discuss with those who had similar research directions.Mathematics and science will always be the main direction for the development of astrologists. As for talent, it has long been doomed.

Even for astromancers stationed on the same peninsula, it is rare to find a place where everyone has free time.Jin Xixing warlock just joined in at this time. He and Cao Feng are both practical astromagists, and the research content is very unpopular. They only hold small-scale discussions with a few astromagists in related fields to exchange their research results.

Cheng Jinzhou naturally ran away. Whether it was studying mathematics or vampires, it was a boring and long process. He didn't want to waste his time with a bunch of bad old men.

At noon, Xiaokang, with red rabbit eyes, knocked on Cheng Jinzhou's room in the Astromancer Tower, and handed him a thick book called "The First Explanation of the Star Array" and said: "Mr. Cheng, The star array you want is indeed a star array related to sound waves, called a memory star array, which requires materials, and is a type of alchemy star array."

"Thank you for your hard work." Cheng Jinzhou stood on tiptoes and patted Xiaokang's shoulder, even though the latter was not tall.

Xiaokang said honestly: "I put the feathers in the page of the star array you want. After reading it, put the book at the door, and someone will take it away."

After speaking, he consciously closed the door and left.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows, put the book flat on his lap, and lamented the convenience of life in the Star Warlock Tower.It’s no wonder that the ancient Chinese were not keen on machinery. In fact, using humans is much more convenient and more appropriate than machinery, and to a certain extent, it is also cheaper than machinery.Many astromancers who use alchemical products do so most of the time for show, rather than for actual convenience.

"The First Explanation of the Star Array" is about the thickness of an ordinary dictionary. Cheng Jinzhou opened the place marked with feathers, and moved his fingers line by line to read.Astromagus prefer to use complex and efficient language, which can sometimes be difficult to understand.

"It turned out to be a first-level star array." Cheng Jinzhou became upset when he saw half of it. No wonder Xiaokang ran so fast just now. He was not simple and honest, but worried about arousing the anger of the star warlock.

Except for Lu Xu, a perverted astromancer, who would bear 12 star powers to carve a so-called memory star array on his body, just to automatically transfer the dictated content to other media?That would be silly.

Moreover, the gentleman who designed this star array obviously did not consider the economic ability of the user. Although the principle is somewhat similar to that of a phonograph, the medium it uses is very soft and large pieces of tin. Needless to say, it is more wasteful than tin foil many.

Reluctantly reading the introduction, Cheng Jinzhou closed the book without saying a word and threw it outside the door. Unless he really became a third-level star warlock, he would not waste his precious star power to endure such tasteless.

"Servant Mo." Cheng Jinzhou almost shouted out.

The apprentice star warlock who stayed behind hurried over, and Xiaokang had already run away and disappeared.

"Mr. Cheng..."

"Go and call my book boy, no, you can ask him if he has found the accountant he asked him to look for." Cheng Jinzhou said while putting on the overcoat he was going out.

Regardless of whether it was within his scope of work or not, the apprehended star warlock apprentice quickly ran down the tower.

……

Shi Mo found a total of four accountants, all of whom are second-generation members of the Cheng family who stayed in the capital. Two of them are still surnamed Cheng. On a par with the old house.

Cheng Jinzhou was not picky, sent the people to the courtyard near the Star Warlock Tower, and started recording first.Without copying what was written on the ring, he could not buy new books, and being unable to buy new books would stop his circulatory system.

Shi Mo waited on him cautiously, busy moving stools and pouring water.Then, taking advantage of Cheng Jinzhou's spirit calming down, he said: "Third brother, these people are all people who have sold themselves to the Cheng family. I have agreed that each person will be given 100 taels of silver to settle down and stay at home and not allowed to go out."

In the era when there was no patent protection, each aristocratic family had its own set of secrecy measures.The Cheng family’s method is the one that everyone uses the most: captivity—bringing gentlemen with secrets at home, giving them a salary that is not inferior to others, helping them marry wives and have children, allowing a certain degree of personal freedom, but not Migrate casually.Traveling, which is a matter for scholars, is strictly prohibited.Countries including Venice and the Soviet Union have used similar methods, and the results have proved to be good, and it is a compromise that can satisfy both parties.

The Cheng family is also a century-old family. As the grandson of Cheng Jinzhou, he needs to recruit a few people. The shops below are reluctant to send people over, but after copying things for him, more than half of the skills he learned before are useless.

Shi Mo didn't know what Cheng Jinzhou's purpose was, but the work in the process must be done well.

Cheng Jinzhou's face softened obviously and he said, "Where do they live now?"

"They are all married, so they lived in the city." Shi Mo said hastily.

"I'm going to rent some land near the capital to plant. I just plan to take over two Zhuangzi. After you're optimistic about it, you can send their families there." Cheng Jinzhou was talking about the land he wanted to rent from Warlock Cao Fengxing.

Shi Mo nodded like a piston and said: "I have told them the rules, they are not allowed to ask each other, and they can remember what they say..."

"Well, go and do your work." Cheng Jinzhou walked into the courtyard after speaking.

Just like in Shaonan before, the four accountants stayed in different rooms, and each prepared a large amount of pen and ink for writing.

Cheng Jinzhou reminded him again, and just now he picked out the book from the ring, randomly picked out a mathematical formula according to the order of the rooms, and then jumped and read randomly according to the value assigned by the formula.

This is the simplest cipher, but if the formula is complex enough, it is also the hardest to crack.Cheng Jinzhou's current level of mental arithmetic is quite good, and he can easily handle these tasks that should have been designed with a computer.

A book with 30 words takes only a few seconds to buy, but it takes a whole day to copy.Cheng Jinzhou simply lived in the courtyard outside the Star Warlock Tower, except for occasionally going back to discuss with Cao Feng Jinxi, the rest of the time he simply stayed at home.

The goods stored on the outer peninsula allow him to buy books without interruption. 3 taels of silver are enough to read 200 books, and he can't finish copying them in two months.

During the break, Cheng Jinzhou had the opportunity to sort out the books he had purchased earlier.

As his exposure to the world of astromancers deepened, he gradually understood that he really seemed to have to choose a major research direction.

Probability, geometry or algebra, in Xia Jing, also means different forces.

"Maybe there is a fourth way out." Cheng Jinzhou has never seen the cruelty of political oppression, but he has heard about it. Many times, what he hears makes people feel more frightened.

As a former ordinary college student, Cheng Jinzhou would rather not be a prince or general than put himself in danger.

Life could have been more colorful.

While thinking silently, Shi Yan hurried in and yelled from afar: "Third brother, the young master is going to Beijing."
