Chapter 85 Tongue War (1)

If gold and silver are the general equivalents among ordinary people, the association contribution points are equivalent to the general equivalents among star warlocks.It can not only buy almost all supplies from star warlocks, but also hire star warlocks.No matter what it is, the value of the association's contribution points to officials is huge, even far exceeding its own value.

Other star warlocks may cherish the association's contribution points because of their rarity, but Cheng Jinzhou's perspective is completely different.For him, if he wants to contribute something, it can be said to be a piece of cake. Even if it is something he has mastered, there is no problem in producing dozens of papers, not to mention the constant supply of Jiezi, so for more than a dozen The twenty association contribution points were completely ignored.

Xiao Cheng's expression made Xiang Xin feel helpless, but she also had to admit that the 13-year-old boy in front of her had wasted capital. For people, a lifetime of struggle may not be able to get 30 initial association contribution points, and if there is no theoretical talent, it often takes more effort to obtain contribution points.

With such a comparison, Xiang Xin can't help but wonder if he is also an astrologer without talent...

The badge on Xu Gu's chest beeped.This is a short-distance star array used within the association. After he picked it up and listened to it for a while, he smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, Star Warlock Jiang Huang invites you upstairs."

Xiang Xin snorted disdainfully, but didn't make a sound.

Xu Gu was also a handsome character, he smiled and said, "Star Warlock An Feng is also here. Star Warlock Xiang Xin, please come along."

Shen Cong knew that it was impossible to invite himself on such an occasion, so he patted Cheng Jinzhou on the shoulder and said, "I'll go back and inquire first, and you can train me after you're done."

Hearing that Anfeng Star Warlock was present, Xiang Xin put away the contempt on his face, and said to Cheng Jinzhou in a low voice: "The two most famous star warlocks in the outer peninsula are my master and An Feng Star Warlock, and the relationship between the two is also very good. good."

"Where are the other fourth-level star warlocks?"

"Only three fourth-level star warlocks have permanent residences." Xiang Xin's tone was a little proud, but it was well hidden.Not every astromancer is good at communicating with people, and not every astromancer is good at theory.

Xu Gu tactfully urged in front of him: "You two please..."

Cheng Jinzhou followed up with a smile, and asked at the same time: "What is it?"

"I don't know too well." Xu Gu said with his mouth, but his feet were not slow at all.

upstairs.

It's not impossible that nearly 50 star warlocks will gather together, but it's rare, especially if two fourth-level star warlocks are present. If it were mentioned among the people, the literati would probably come up with nonsense terms like "a grand event in the star altar".

In fact, there are still a lot of small-scale gatherings among astrologists, but everyone has a lot of affairs, and it is really not easy to get together. Usually, there is only time for endless arguments.

When Cheng Jinzhou walked into the room, he felt an extremely depressing atmosphere.

Under the guidance of Warlock Xu Gu, Xiang Xin sat on the right side of Warlock An Feng, who turned around and nodded slightly to her.Senior astromancers are very busy, and the number of apprentices is also limited, which is one of the reasons restricting the development of astromancers.

A group of people looked at Cheng Jinzhou standing among them with curious eyes.

50 people, you can't let Xiao Cheng be afraid.I think that when he was young, he used sulfuric acid to corrode the floor and attempted to see the scene downstairs. After being caught by his father's graduate student, it was probably the same scene-a large group of people stood in a room that smelled of 20 gallons of sulfuric acid. It is indeed a very ecstasy to watch.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his head slightly, as if nostalgic for the past.

Dr. Cheng Da's silence was regarded as arrogance by many people, even the young star warlock next to Xiang Xin couldn't help muttering: It's just luck.

Indeed, most of the people who discussed, studied or quoted Cheng Jinzhou's papers were doing it to make Warlock Jiang Huangxing look embarrassed. The more than 20 association points were really the envy of these young Star Warlocks.

Relying on his identity as a child, Cheng Jinzhou simply waited for others to ask questions, while he looked around the room.Many people don't know that there is a third floor of the Astromancer Association, but even if they find it, the ordinary and simple rooms will disappoint them.

Different from the wide and tall ones on the first and second floors, the rooms on the third floor are like classrooms four or five times larger. Except for the unique crystal lamps on the ceiling, the most expensive ones may be the ones where the gentlemen are sitting. The Taishi chair, that is, the crystal chandelier, is too ordinary compared with the decoration of the lower level of the association.

Warlock Jiang Huangxing is also observing Cheng Jinzhou.

As the Royal Astromancer, he has many privileges, one of which includes reading official documents and reports from all over the world.Jiang Huang has read Cheng Jinzhou's articles and various theories and theorems he has used. Although he does not agree with all of them, he has to admit that this is a very smart, or rather, very wise young man. .

In a daze, Jiang Huang thought of his youthful days, he could hardly remember that he was so energetic 100 years ago.

The anxiety in the air did not last long, and an astromancer sitting on the east side took the lead to ask: "Cheng Jinzhou, "A Preliminary Study of Optics", "Optics and Geometry", "The Quantitative Relationship between Optics and Geometry", these three achievements The report was submitted by you."

"Yes." Cheng Jinzhou immediately regained his energy. The only thing that puzzled him was that the person who was obviously close to Xiang Xin had an even more unfriendly expression.

"The name is very big." The other star warlock sneered.

Cheng Jinzhou laughed and said, "You comment too much on things you don't understand."

These words are extremely blunt, especially from the mouth of a 13-year-old boy, it is even more ugly.

The astromancer's face immediately turned from white to black. If he refuted this, he would not only deviate from the topic, but also appear to be very lacking. He could only pretend that he didn't hear it, and continued: "Please explain your so-called optical geometry."

Hearing what he said, and looking at the expressions of the surrounding star warlocks, Cheng Jinzhou finally understood that this was actually a discussion about his own academic nature. No wonder the gentlemen who are inclined to Liu Kuang star warlocks would ask themselves aggressively instead.

Seeing this, Cheng Jinzhou immediately thought desperately.

The truth of politics is in the hands of the most powerful people, and the truth of science is in the hands of God. This is the biggest difference between the two.Because of this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who halved the population of the Central Plains is still a great wise and powerful statesman, and Newton who established classical mechanics is still a erroneous physicist.Similarly, facing a political issue should be handled differently than facing an academic issue.

Unless it is a problem that has been unsolved for thousands of years, standing in an academic team will often make the team stand out. For the gentlemen of prestige, an unscrupulous follow-up is likely to ruin their future.

The first step in scientific research is speculation and judgment, and then looking for evidence—no one will trust a disreputable scientist without sufficient evidence, including various institutions and individuals who provide funding.And in the world of astronomy, a lack of credibility, astronomy, should not dream of getting attention at all, even if he writes a commendable paper, other astronomy may save time and not at all. go read it...

Thinking of this, Cheng Jinzhou averted his gaze from An Fengxing Warlock's face.He decided to stick to the facts, not human favors.

After making this decision, Xiao Cheng suddenly felt extremely relaxed, and replied freely: "This... two-star warlock, what do you not understand, tell me, and I will tell you."

The opponent's badge is two green stars.

After waiting for a long time, unexpectedly waiting for such an answer, the astromancer who asked the question almost became angry from embarrassment amidst a soft laugh.

Fortunately, Cheng Jinzhou quickly said again: "My geometric optics actually only explained two problems. First, light travels in a straight line. Second, light will reflect on different media. Different media refer to different Matter, such as iron and wood, is a different medium than water."

"I still remember, you said that there will be reflexes in any situation, right?"

"That's right." Cheng Jinzhou deliberately didn't make this point very clear, just to arouse controversy, so he wasn't nervous.

The star warlock pretended to laugh twice, waved his right hand, and actually created an ice cube on the table, and pointed with his left hand, but saw a ray of light pass through the ice cube extremely quickly, leaving only the finger on the table. Xu thick hole, he proudly said: "In this way, will there be reflection?"

Cheng Jinzhou's eyes widened and he was secretly happy: Could this guy be Duan Yu's reincarnation?

He can be regarded as someone who has participated in academic conferences. Such public performances are really rare - I'm afraid I haven't seen them before.

"Mr. Cheng, please answer Warlock Tang Wenxing's question." Warlock Xing, who was half-hosting on the stage, said.

"Of course there will be reflexes." Cheng Jinzhou said firmly.

As if seeing the hope of winning, Tang Wen consciously glanced at Jiang Huang, but was disappointed to find that Jiang Huang was expressionless.At this time, Cheng Jinzhou also stood in front of the whiteboard and replied: "This article is actually just one of several problems about geometric optics. What Warlock Tang Wenxing did not understand is that before you break through the ice, Since the melting of ice must be slower than the speed of light, the reflection has already occurred."

"This is a secondary star array. How can it be slower than light?" Tang Wen said, his voice getting lower and lower. At the level of the 17th century, people had already begun to try to measure the speed of light, although they had not yet realized that there are 30 light waves. Kilometers per second are so fast, but they all understand that light is very fast.

Since it is difficult to judge the speed of light, it is actually difficult to refute this question with certainty. On the side of Anfeng Star Warlock, someone else immediately stood up and said: "Then how do you explain that after light passes through the interface, for example, the underwater Reflection? That contradicts your reflection theorem at all."

Cheng Jinzhou showed a tricky smile and said, "That's another problem, called refraction."
