"Damn boy!" As if retaliating, Shu Ling spoke out, interrupted Richard rudely, and shouted, "Damn boy, you are cheating. You actually know the riddles and answers. You must have learned from others. Where did the person who successfully passed the verification get it? Although your answer is correct, your behavior is despicable and shameless. I will always remember you..."
"Wait a minute!" Richard said, "You said that I got the puzzles and answers from other people who passed the verification? In other words, you only tested everyone with this one question?"
"..." Silence, another long silence, and after a long time, the book spirit's stiff voice sounded, "Boy, don't talk nonsense, tell your problem! Complete this verification."
"Okay, let me ask you." Richard thought for a moment and said, "Well, there is such a question. There are only four kinds of forces in nature, namely electromagnetic force, weak interaction force, strong interaction force, etc. Do you think there may be such a systematic theory about interaction force and gravity, which combines the four forces to explain all physical phenomena? If so, what is the core of this theory? "
"...", silence, a long and strange silence.
"Is it impossible to verify the grand unified theory?" Richard glanced at the page and said to himself, guessing, "Is this question-and-answer question too difficult? Okay, let's change it to a simpler true or false question. You only need to Just choose between right and wrong. For example, the Riemann hypothesis, one of the seven major problems in mathematics:
In mathematics, there are some numbers with special properties that cannot be represented as the product of two smaller numbers, such as 2, 3, 5, 7, etc. Such numbers are called prime numbers, or prime numbers. Prime numbers play an important role in the fields of pure mathematics and applied mathematics. If you look at it roughly, the distribution of prime numbers among all natural numbers does not follow any rules.
But a man named Riemann proposed such a conjecture: the frequency of prime numbers is closely related to a complex function. That is: ζ(s) = 1 + 1/2S+ 1/3S+ 1/4S+... So do you think this conjecture is correct or wrong? "
"..." Silence continued for a long and strange silence.
Richard couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Still can't answer it? So, you can't make some answers that go beyond the limits of human thinking. You don't have 'super intelligence' attributes, right?"
"...", still silent.
"Okay." Richard sighed and said softly, "Then let's change to the simplest question. You must know this question. How many times is the circumference of a circle its diameter? Or more simply, what is the diameter of a carriage wheel? How many times is the length of the wheel the two spokes joined together?”
This is the simplest expression of pi. According to Richard's understanding, in modern earth history, ancient Egypt before 1900 AD had pi accurate to 3 decimal places. In more than 200 BC, the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes Accurate pi to 5 decimal places.
As long as the book spirit in front of you has this knowledge, he should be able to answer this question. Based on the accuracy of the other party's answer, you can roughly determine the current mathematical level of the world, and thus have an understanding of the entire wizard-spell system. .
After all, whether it is magic or science, as long as a complete system is established and it conforms to normal logic, the use of mathematics is indispensable. In this case…
The next moment, Shu Ling did speak out, but it lacked the previous momentum. He seemed to be weak and replied: "3."
"What's more precise?" Richard asked, "What's after the decimal point?"
"3.1415926..." Shu Ling's somewhat mechanical voice sounded.
Hearing that the other party accurate the pi to the 7th decimal place, Richard couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This is already the peak level of ancient China on modern earth, and may even exceed it.
Once it exceeds, the range to be tested will instantly expand. After all, the accuracy of pi is developing explosively. Around AD 480, the Chinese ancestor Chongzhi was accurate to the seventh decimal place of π. It took almost a thousand years for someone to break through it. In the early 15th century, the Arab mathematician Cathy calculated the approximate value of π to 17 decimal places.
Then in 1789, a Slovenian mathematician calculated π to 137 decimal places. In 1948, a British mathematician calculated π to 808 decimal places. In 1949, π was calculated to 2037 decimal places. In 1973, π was calculated to one million decimal places. In 1989, π was calculated to 480 million decimal places. In 2010, π was calculated to 5 trillion decimal places...
Thinking of this, Richard spoke up and asked Shu Ling: "If this value is defined as π, what is the 100,000th digit after the decimal point of π?"
"..." Shu Ling's replying voice suddenly stopped, as if he had never appeared before.
Richard immediately knew that he was impatient, his eyes flashed, and he murmured: "Why, it hasn't reached this level of accuracy yet? What about 10,000? 1,000? 100?"
"Damn boy..." Shu Ling said, his voice seemed to be trembling, and his tone was high and low, as if a machine could not bear an excessive load, "This damn question of yours is too difficult... It is too difficult, I Let me tell you, the answer is... yes... yes... ah!"
At the end, the book spirit let out a scream, and the movable jaws on the page suddenly froze, and the flames in his eyes solidified instantly, as if a machine had malfunctioned, the computer had crashed, and there was no more sound.
After a long time, Richard tentatively touched the page where the book spirit was and found that it was cold and no longer as warm as before.
"Is this... passed the verification?" Richard said to himself, "Or is it because the calculation is overloaded, causing an error that cannot be repaired?"
Richard carefully observed some pages and found no special structure, just an ordinary piece of paper with a skull pattern painted on it. The so-called book spirit obviously exists in the pages of the book in a way that I don't know yet.
The next moment, Richard shook his head, and instead of wasting time trying to figure out the principles of Shu Ling, he directly opened the pages at the back.
Dense red writing appeared on the second page.
Written on the first line of the second page is something like an introduction: Listen to me, remember me, and you will witness a brand new world - Monroe.
The characters on the second line are slightly larger, like the name of the book: Chapter of Monroe!
The third line is the real content: The world of wizards is mysterious and dangerous. For every reader, when you read this book, a door to a new world is slowly opening to you...
Richard narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, read carefully, and then... stayed up all night.
