The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Seeing the escalation of this debate, it became a dispute between Ming Dynasty and the West, whose mathematicians are more powerful, Yan Song smiled slightly, and said to the arrogant Descartes: "Why don't we make a bet?"

Hai Rui, who had just been bloodied, rolled his eyes fiercely, and gloated at these crooked nuts.

I've been bloodied so many times, it's finally my turn to sit and watch others suffer.

Descartes is an arrogant man, proud of his talents, of course he couldn't stand Yan Song's provocation, he yelled and nodded suddenly: "Mathematics is the language of the world! I accept this challenge!"

Hai Rui sighed and looked at Descartes with sympathetic eyes.

Young, too young!

Yan Song, a treacherous person, when did he suffer?

Even me, Hai Qingtian, who is very discerning, has been tricked many times, tortured several times, and tragically reduced to his supervisor. How dare you fight?Don't lose your soul to him.

············

Immediately, Nimad was also very excited when he saw Descartes facing the battle. He felt that this was a good opportunity to cheat Yan Song, so he also joined in and made a big bet: "Mr. Yan Ge, if Descartes wins you in mathematics, we Request to open a church in Tianjin and allow missionary work!"

A sly and cunning light flashed in Yan Song's eyes, and he said slowly: "The preaching still needs to return to the emperor and nod. But I can promise to play for you. But what if you lose?"

Hai Rui sighed.

Yan Song's eyes were clearly flickering, "You guys didn't discuss it" ah.

Those crooked nuts didn't know Yan Song's deceitful nature, anyway, Hai Rui would not be fooled again.

..................

Sure enough, Nimad was fooled again immediately, without even thinking about it, he agreed: "If we lose, we will find a way to get you some more scientists."

"A word from a gentleman?"

"Hurry up and whip!"

So Yan Song, the treacherous chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, made a contract with Descartes and several missionaries that made the latter regret for life.Later, Descartes called it "the contract of the devil", and Yan Song's smile was called "the smile of the devil's fan".

However, at this time, Descartes certainly didn't have the consciousness of being cheated, and he said loudly: "As long as it's about mathematics, you Daming just come here! I can definitely win!"

Descartes' self-confidence is not without reason.In mathematics, he has almost surpassed Dugu Qiubai, and few people in his generation can surpass him.

It is impossible for anyone in Daming to do it.

Yan Song grinned for a moment, showing his white teeth, and said, "Excellent! Then let's do the math!"

"Quick calculation?" Descartes vomited blood a little. To be honest, he is not very good at quick calculation.After all, his main business is analytic geometry, and graphics computing is his strongest.

But as a mathematician, he has already spoken big words, and he still speaks so full, Yan Song can let Yan Song speak about everything in mathematics.Yan Song's quick calculation at this time is also in the category of mathematics, and Descartes can only accept it depressed.

Chapter 475 The dazzling brilliance of the abacus calculation [2]

As a mathematician and one of the inventors of calculus, how weak can his quick calculation be?

No matter how weak he is, he can crush this math desert Daming!

Therefore, in the face of such a duel, Descartes was extremely confident, high-spirited, and directly agreed.

"Haha~ good!" Yan Song showed a satisfied smile, and pointed at the hidden Cheng Dawei next to him: "Let me introduce, this is Cheng Dawei, a mathematician from my Ming Dynasty, a powerful quick-calculation mathematics expert! He today If you happen to be my guest here, then you are considered destined, so let's compare."

Descartes was a little surprised when he heard this.

There are mathematicians in this backward place of Ming Dynasty?

However, his self-confidence as the number one mathematician in the West is still arrogant, and he just nodded proudly to Mr. Cheng.

"July [-]" Cheng Dawei was not polite, he just bowed his hands.

These days, the people of Daming have a sense of superiority towards crooked nuts. The so-called arrogance of the country and the people are from all over the world, but they don't have the servile mentality that the moon is round in foreign countries in the future.

Yan Song smiled wickedly and took out a blueprint.

This drawing is for Tianjin Kaihai Construction, the required materials, steel, cement, concrete, wood, stone and other quantities.There is also requirement design.

As a city, this number is of course an astronomical number. The city walls, city gates, ports, yamen, markets, and streets all need to be calculated.

This amount of calculation is of course terrifying.

But this calculation is very important.

Because in the construction of Tianjin city and port, as the general designer, Yan Song needs to know the specific quantity required for each material at each stage, so that he can arrange the production, transportation and purchase links to ensure that the project is completed on time and at the fastest speed , Optimal efficiency.

It can be said that this is an extremely important calculation data.

The reason why Yan Song dared to promise to basically complete the project within half a year was because he was confident that he had brand-new design concepts, scientific methods, building materials ahead of the times, and sufficient financial and material resources, so he would definitely be able to complete the project.

Sure enough, when Descartes saw the large construction map full of numbers, his face became serious.

As a mathematician, even if he doesn't understand Daming's language, he can easily understand the construction design drawings and the various material numbers on them.

As Descartes said, numbers are the language of the world, and this does not require translation.

Immediately tease him or translate the names of the materials above into French to help him understand.

A copy of the same blueprint was also given to Mr. Cheng.

Cheng Dawei and Descartes looked at each other.
