The Last Alchemist

Vicky's voice was very loud, almost shouting at the top of her lungs.

Rosen turned around and saw that Vicki suddenly knelt on the ground, holding the parchment high in his hands, just like a flame cultist holding the sacred scripture of flame, with an extremely pious expression.

Rosen held back his laughter and asked, "Mr. Vicky, what's wrong with you? Are your legs numb due to standing for too long?"

"My legs are numb. No! No!" Vicki shouted, her face turned red, as if she had drank a dozen bottles of rum in one go.

"Mr. Rosen, I am very ashamed now! You are right, I am indeed not a mathematician, you are! You are a real master of mathematics, and these parchments of yours record unparalleled wisdom! I bet, even if If God sees it, he will agree with me!"

These words were so exaggerated that Hill on the side was dumbfounded.

"Mr. Veitch, are you sure your mind is clear?" Hill couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Awake! Of course I'm awake! I've never been so sober!" Vicky waved his hands, with the word 'fanatic' written all over his round, fat face: "Hill, do you know, what is recorded on these parchments? Not mathematics, but the wisdom of God! Oh my God, Mr. Rosen, you must be the illegitimate son of God, otherwise how could you have such wisdom?"

While speaking, Vicky actually took a few steps towards Rosen's direction, stretched out his hands, and seemed to want to hug Rosen's legs and kiss them.

"Is he crazy?" Hill was a little scared. She took a few steps back without leaving a trace and hid behind Rosen.

Rosen also took a few steps back, avoiding Vicky's dirty hands.

He could understand Vicky's mood, because what he wrote on the parchment was calculus!

Calculus, a mathematical tool, is one of the most important keys to the modern scientific society.

Rosen dared to say that in this era, anyone who has spent a lot of effort studying mathematics will have a sense of enlightenment when they come into contact with calculus for the first time.

Because this thing is like an artifact. Problems that cannot be solved with elementary mathematics will be solved immediately when calculus is encountered. The ingenious solution method is amazing.

When Vicki was extremely excited, he said that calculus was the wisdom of God, which was actually not wrong.

"Dong~~dong~dong~~"

There was a sudden knock on the study door, and Veronica's voice rang out: "Rosen, what happened? I thought I heard someone acting wild in your study."

"Come in, it's nothing serious."

The study door was pushed open, and Veronica saw Vicky kneeling on the ground with a fanatical look on her face.

"What's going on with this guy?"

Vicky was like a child who had received a unique treasure, eager to share it with others. When he saw Veronica, no matter who she was, she walked over on her knees holding the parchment: "Beautiful lady, come and see where you are. , come and see the wisdom of God!”

Veronica glanced at the parchment in confusion and found that it was full of mathematical symbols. Her heart moved and she took the parchment and looked at it carefully. When she saw it, she also fell into a big pit.

After a while, she raised her head and looked at Rosen with a complicated expression: "You wrote it. Oh, it must have been written by you. This is your handwriting!"

At this moment, Veronica, who possessed great power, was shaking slightly with her hand holding the parchment. She suppressed her excitement and said, "Before, you told me about the constants of nature and the art of circumcision. When it comes to "extreme" thoughts, I have always felt that one day, you will perfect this wonderful thought. But what I didn't expect was that this day would come so quickly! I didn't expect that you would do this. This kind of thinking has expanded to such an extent!”

Hearing this, Vicky seemed to have found a soulmate. He said excitedly: "Beautiful lady, I know you understand. Tell me, isn't such wisdom worthy of worship?"

Veronica agreed with Vicky's words in her heart, but her personality was not as unrestrained as Vicky. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked: "This is a brand-new mathematical idea, what do you call it?"

"It is divided into two parts, the first half is differential calculus, the second half is integral calculus, and the sum total is calculus."

Veronica murmured: "Calculus and Calculus. What a good name."

On the side, Vicki's mood also calmed down a bit. He looked at Rosen with a look of shame on his face: "Mr. Rosen, I actually tried to argue with a master like you on mathematical issues. I was really wrong! But, I can see Come out, what's written on these parchments Things are still too simple. I implore you to write a complete book that describes the great wisdom of "calculus" in detail! I believe that once this book is published, it will instantly become a holy book that surpasses any other religion. A timeless classic!”

"This" Hill felt that Vicki's evaluation was too exaggerated.

Rosen didn't react at all. He shrugged and said calmly: "Let's talk about it when I have time."

Vicki was stunned for a moment and begged urgently: "Ah? No, Mr. Rosen, I beg you. I believe that as long as you write a book, you will be the greatest mathematician in history. In the next hundred years, you will be the greatest mathematician in history." It’s been like this for a thousand years!”

Rosen still didn't respond. The reason was simple. He didn't invent calculus. He was just a porter. No matter how much Vicki praised him, in Rosen's mind, he was still praising Lord Ox and Leibniz, which had nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Rosen, I beg you." Such a big man as Vicki was about to cry.

Rosen finally said, "I will write it when I have time, but I allow you to share the contents of these parchments with others."

Hearing this, Veronica hurried to Rosen's side and whispered in his ear, "Rosen, this is your hard work and extraordinary wisdom. How can you share it with those mortals?"

Veronica's words made Rosen sigh in his heart. In this era, mathematics is still a pure intellectual activity that only the upper class can participate in. Few people connect mathematics with real life.

Veronica is like this, and many magicians in the magic academy must be the same. Only in the Squirrel Club did the momentum of combining mathematics with real-life applications emerge.

Mathematics and technology are married, and science is born. Mortals are nourished by science and begin to sublimate into gods.

Because of this, Rosen brought up calculus and gave it to Vichy.

On the other side, Vic had been completely conquered by calculus. Hearing Rosen's words, he felt regretful and excited. He carefully put the parchment close to his body, as if he had obtained a rare treasure.

He stood up and bowed to Rosen again: "Sir, it is my honor to meet you today. Your generosity and your wisdom have deeply impressed me. I once again sincerely apologize to you, please forgive my ignorance."

"I forgive you, you can go back."

"Thank you very much, thank you very much!" Vic bowed and retreated all the way to the door, then turned around and opened the door to go out. His demeanor was extremely respectful.

Veronica frowned and wanted to speak to stop him.

Rosen shook his head at her: "Vinnie, don't worry, he won't waste such wisdom."

Veronica looked at Rosen in confusion: "I really don't know what you think. You are so stingy at ordinary times, and you sell a few pieces of glass for thousands of gold dragon coins. Why are you so generous now, and you actually give such precious wisdom to others."

Rosen laughed: "Because the former is technology, and the latter is thought."

"I don't understand." Veronica still didn't understand.

Rosen pointed at Hill and said: "Ask her, for a magic apprentice, is magic theory or magic more important?"

Veronica looked at Hill.

Hill said as a matter of course: "Of course, specific magic is important. In the academy, everyone can learn magic theory, but magic must be taught by the instructor, and must be purchased with money. For example, if you want to learn 1-star magic flash, you must give the instructor at least 100 gold dragon coins."

Veronica didn't know how the magic academy operated, and was surprised when she heard it: "Since you know the magic theory, why don't you explore magic yourself?"

Hill shook his head repeatedly: "How can it be so easy. Take the 1-star magic flash, for example. This magic is very dangerous. If there is no instructor's guidance, you have to rely on yourself to explore, and you will lose your life if you are not careful. Every specific magic, its casting skills and key points, are determined by spending a lot of money, time, and even human lives. A single person doesn't have this ability."

Veronica was thoughtful.

Rosen continued, "For me, mathematics is equivalent to magic theory, and the moon wands and batteries I sell are specific magic."

Veronica still didn't think it through: "Then according to you, isn't magic theory useless?"

"It is useful." Rosen walked back to the desk and sat down, picked up the feather pen and turned it around in his hand, and said leisurely: "The more people know calculus, the wider the spread, and the greater the influence. As the originator of the idea, what do you think will happen?"

Veronica subconsciously said: "You will be respected by countless people and have an unparalleled reputation in the field of mathematics."

Rosen smiled slightly: "It's not just in the field of mathematics."

"Ah?" Veronica couldn't figure it out again.

"Be patient and you will know later."
