The days of learning black magic in another world

"Idiot! Idiot! Why the hell am I teaching you math?!"

"I'd rather go to hell!"

"It is better to count on this slate than to count on you to understand the mysteries of geometry!"

Mr. Rochester violently yelled at the students of Class D, pushed open the door aggressively, and rushed to his office, leaving only the black backs of the twenty unlucky ones.

Little Polo, who unfortunately sat in the first row, silently put down the palm covering his forehead.

Back in the shady office, Mr. Rochester angrily pulled back the chair, the chair legs slid across the ground, making a piercing and sharp sound, which made him even more angry.

His feverish mind cooled slightly at the sight of the pile of bundled letters on the table.

Today is the day when the letter from Wangcheng arrives in mid-January.

In the bundle of envelopes that were tied too tightly, there was "Mathematics" just released by Wangcheng (it was said that it was just released, but in fact it was already half a month ago, Bartley, as the county farthest from Wangcheng in Ulang , always slow in everything) and some other periodicals, and only a couple of personal letters belonging to him.

However, Rochester is obviously not very interested, or someone who is good at maintaining interpersonal relationships, otherwise he would not let go of a good job in Springs and come to a ghostly place like Butley County.

He roughly unwrapped the coil of rope, threw aside his personal letters, and pulled out the latest outdated copy of "Mathematics and Physics".

The first is Riemann's paper.

Rochester has already read two papers published by Riemann in "Mathematics". When he saw it for the first time, his mood was probably mixed with shock and "it is true" - mathematics really belongs to geniuses, such " Sure enough."

He carefully looked at the paper word by word, and after about 10 minutes, his hand that turned the page froze.

"Here's an example."

"We used to approximate the formula for the area of ​​a circle by cutting the circle, but now we can get more precise results through analysis."

"First, we cut the circle into countless parts..."

Rochester was a little stunned.

Riemann's thesis has an almost stubborn emphasis on the concept of "infinity" from the first paper. At that time, Rochester was only shocked, sighed, and didn't think much about it.

But at this moment... these words are so familiar, so familiar that the memory he deliberately forgot came roaring back in an instant.

"..."

"Mr. Rochester, I'm thinking of what you mean by circumcision."

"Thinking? Ha, how ridiculous is that word coming out of your mouth."

"So, may I ask you—what did you think about?"

"Yes, Mr. Rochester, I have some ideas. I am thinking that in order to minimize the error, we must try to cut the circle thin enough and small enough. In this case, why don't we just cut the circle Divided into infinite blocks, such that the error on the edges is negligible."

"Idiot! What an idiot! Infinity, ha, you can tell, you didn't listen to what I just said, did you? Infinite block, why don't you think about it, if that's the case, where do you go to find the area? Composed of length and width, you don’t even have width, it’s not even a plane, how are you going to find the area?”

"..."

Those vicious words suddenly sounded in his ears.

The emotions in Rochester's eyes gradually became complicated.

After a long time, a sentence sounded from the shady office——

"Feel sorry."

……

Riemann, who didn't know what kind of turmoil was surging in the heart of Mr. Rochester who was far away in Wulan, was reading the letter at this time.

Yes, another letter from Heller Velen.

This guy has written to him almost once every two days recently, for fear that others won't see how flustered he is.

On the opened envelope was a telescope newly sent by Heller Velen—after all, the original one was taken away by the Holy See.

"Dear Riemann,"

"Sorry to disturb your Xingxi Academy life again, I hope you are not too busy recently."

"I know I shouldn't ask... But I still want to know when the Holy See will ask me to order a telescope? If time is tight, I will declare that this gadget is more troublesome to make, so it should be able to pay for the Holy See Need it..."

Riemann tapped the pen and translated the "Holy See is distributing shares for various places" in his mind into——

"Dear Heller,"

"Please be patient. The Holy See is determining the specific numbers needed in various places. When they decide, they will naturally notify you."

Riemann glanced awkwardly at the jargon, always feeling that although he had modified it a bit, the words were still very unpleasant—forget it, what kind of political discourse he understands as a science student, Heller Velen knows that there is no need to rush .

After writing this line, he then looked at the letter paper.

"...I must tell you this good news as soon as possible! Although it is only a rough idea, the telescope I made this time can already see the stars in the sky!"

"Oh my God, you are right. The stars we can see are indeed not all. That long river-like mist was originally composed of stars one by one. The creation is really amazing..."

"But I've made bigger discoveries than those little stars."

"Beside Junos, I found four new celestial objects! They are so bright in the telescope, but they are not easy to detect outside the telescope, so they have never been recorded..."

"Riemann, I'm going to add my name to the star map!"

"I plan to name one of them Star Heller, the other Star Velen, and the third Pate (that's the name of Heller Velen's mother)..."

"As for the fourth one, I hope to name it a Riemann star. I don't know if you mind."

"It's so interesting to observe the stars. I sincerely thank you for sending the telescope to the Holy See, so I can see such a magnificent view now."

"Really, really thank you!"

"Your friend who is obsessed with stargazing recently, Helle Velen"

Riemann froze for a moment, the four planets next to Junos...

He looked up at the big sun outside, got up and walked towards the library.

There is a star map in the library, and Riemann has never looked at the star map of this planet carefully before, so it is not right to name their stars.

"Junos...Junos..."

"If it corresponds to the earth... this should be Jupiter, right?"

"Helle Velen is really..."

He didn't finish the sentence.

Riemann originally thought that if he pushed Heller Velen, he might become Galileo in another world. He didn't expect that before he had time to push hard, this guy was already heading towards Galileo crazily.

On Earth, after Galileo created his own astronomical telescope, the most important thing he discovered was the four satellites of Jupiter. At first, he was confused by the trajectories of these satellites, because these four stars are not always It is to stay in place, and sometimes only two or three can be seen.

Galileo finally concluded that these four stars orbit Saturn.

An observable planetary system.

Four stars orbiting a planet.

That was the beginning of his switch to Copernicus' heliocentric theory.

Thinking of this, Riemann put down the star map in his hand. It seems that no one in this world has proposed the heliocentric theory... Was it hidden, or was it simply not proposed?

He tapped the star map in his hand repeatedly.

Copernicus' heliocentric theory and Darwin's theory of evolution, these two theories not only challenged the authority of religion, but more importantly questioned the centrality of the universe of the earth and the spiritual status of human beings which is different from all animals.

Knowing that the earth is just an ordinary star in the universe, and knowing that people and animals come from the same DNA going back hundreds of millions of years, how can it prevent people from breaking their defenses?

The danger of proposing the heliocentric theory is infinite, but Riemann thought about it... It seems that it is relatively not that big in this world?

After all, the God of Light is actually also known as the God of the Sun. Wouldn’t it be more religious to propose the sun as the center of the universe...a flatterer?

Riemann hesitated.

The main reason for his hesitation was that Hele Velen really couldn't be counted on for this matter.

Velen might be able to discover a circular-like planetary system by observing the trajectories of Jupiter's four moons, but that's all.

Although Riemann said that he expects him to become a physical version of Newton in another world, what he counts on is that he can discover Newton's three theorems through continuous experiments. His hope definitely does not include asking the other party to propose the law of universal gravitation.

It's not that he doesn't trust his scientific intuition, but the calculation and reasoning of the theorem of universal gravitation and the elliptical orbit of stars is absolutely inseparable from the calculus theory created by Newton himself.

Hmm... It's a bit... difficult to expect Heller Velen to be so proficient in calculus that he can calculate the orbits of planets.

The main reason is that Velen himself is very repulsive, and probably would not have thought of using this mathematical method.

So this matter can only be done by Riemann himself.

And after thinking about it, he felt that the risk was not particularly high. The heliocentric theory was not bad, at least he didn't say anything beyond the solar system, and with Riemann's own "linguistic charm", it could indeed be packaged as an attack on the God of Light. The existence of flattering has strengthened his and Heller Velen's current fanatic image.

As for what if one day he had some quarrel with the Holy See... It would be another matter if his mind changed suddenly and his fangs were exposed.

The most important thing is that once the telescope is popularized and the trend of astronomical observation starts, some people will soon find that the orbits of the planets are wrong. Observing the orbits of the planets from the earth will not show any regular patterns. Sooner or later, someone will think that this is because The reason why the planets they observed did not revolve around the earth.

Rather than handing over the initiative to others, wondering what weird explanations they will come up with, which might even anger the Holy See, it is better to hold it in his own hands, at least he can still trust his nonsense skills.
