Chapter 1743: unique advantage (1/2)

”Calculate?” Xia Ruofei was slightly surprised, and couldn't help asking, ”Couldn't it be a problem of a chicken and a rabbit in a cage?”

He knew that the level of ancient Chinese mathematics was not very high. Of course, the development of mathematics worldwide was also in its infancy. Including ”Nine Chapters Arithmetic” appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, and the Yuntai lay people should have lived in the Qin Dynasty.

The Yuntai layman was also shocked, and asked, ”What is a chicken and a rabbit in a cage?”

Xia Ruofei thought about it. The problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage should be first recorded in the ”Sun Tzu Suanjing”, and this mathematical classic appeared about 1,500 years ago, much later than the time when the Yuntai layman lived. He is not clear about the classic problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, which is normal.

So, Xia Ruofei said: ”I'll just give an example...This question is like this, today there are pheasant rabbits in the same cage, with 35 heads on the top and 94 feet on the bottom...”

Xia Ruofei talked about the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, and then smiled and asked, ”Surely the arithmetic problems studied by Venerable Yangshan, isn't it?”

The Yuntai layman laughed and said: ”How can such a simple question be called arithmetic? Venerable Yangshan's knowledge covers a wide range, and the arithmetic part is also extensive and profound, including the Pythagorean method, the Tianyuan technique, the great development technique, Recruitment, stacking, etc...”

Xia Ruofei was stunned, and couldn't help but directly search the computer on the computer with a search engine for those math methods that sounded very lofty, and then couldn't help secretly marveling.

What the Yuntai layman said, translated into the language of modern mathematics, is the Pythagorean theorem, higher-order equations, first-order congruence arrays, higher-order interpolation, and summation of higher-order arithmetic series...

Although in terms of modern mathematics, these contents are not particularly advanced, but if it is based on the background of the Qin Dynasty, this is simply a magic trick.

In Xia Ruofei's memory, these contents had only just appeared until the Song and Yuan dynasties, and a senior cultivator who lived in the Qin Dynasty had already studied such deep contents so many years in advance.

You must know that the development of a doctrine is not just a flash of light from a genius, it is bound to be a hundred flowers contending for beauty, and countless amazing and talented characters can contribute together to promote the development of the doctrine.

And this Venerable Yangshan lived in the Qin Dynasty or even earlier. Facing these complicated mathematical problems, naturally there was no reference material. It is basically certain that he researched it alone.

This is great.

Xia Ruofei also put away his contempt for the mathematics of the ancients, and asked humbly: ”Senior Yuntai, then Venerable Yangshan, do you have any specific views on the deciphering of the order of the dragon?”

Yuntai Lay said: ”Senior Yangshan has studied the Shenglong Order in a short period of time, probably only one or two years! Then he quickly gave up, he concluded that the secret of the Shenglong Order lies in these floating patterns. Above, the cracking of floating-point patterns involves arithmetic.”

Xia Ruofei asked strangely: ”Since Venerable Yangshan has determined that the secret of floating-point patterns needs to be solved by arithmetic means, and he himself is a mathematician, why doesn't he continue? Isn't he interested in Rising Dragon Order? ”

Yuntai said: ”No! Venerable Yangshan has publicly said that even if his arithmetic attainments are ten times more advanced, it is difficult to crack the secret of the dragon order because of the exhaustion of manpower and the complexity of floating patterns. , But it is beyond the scope of manpower, so he chose to give up very wisely, so as not to waste a lot of time and energy, and ultimately get nothing!”

There was a flash of light in Xia Ruofei's mind, and he almost immediately guessed the situation at the time-this Venerable Yangshan's arithmetic attainments really surpassed that era, and he has probably calculated that he wants to completely crack the floating-point pattern Secret, the amount of calculation required is terrible, so I just gave up.

After all, Venerable Yangshan’s knowledge is beyond that era, and his spiritual power cultivation may have reached a terrifying level that Xia Ruofei can’t understand, but in a purely competitive computing power, it is absolutely impossible to compare with a supercomputer.

Perhaps Venerable Yangshan would give up decisively without seeing any hope of cracking.

But this order of magnitude has never been a problem for supercomputers.

In other words, the biggest problem that Venerable Yangshan encountered two or three thousand years ago is no longer a problem now.

Therefore, after hearing the news, Xia Ruofei was not disappointed, but was very happy.

Because this confirmed the direction of their cracking from one side, and this conclusion came from a very high level of mathematics, naturally more convincing.

Xia Ruofei's spirit was even more uplifted. He asked, ”Senior Yuntai, is there still this Venerable Yangshan's remarks about the Order of the Dragon? Or does he leave any classics or works?”

The Yuntai layman smiled bitterly: ”Venerable Yangshan’s inheritance should have been left behind, but the part about the order of the dragon is really not much. After all, senior Yangshan just briefly studied the order of the dragon, and then I gave up, and never mentioned the Thang Long Ling matter since then. The old man also happened by chance. He heard the elders of the teachers talk about this matter at the gatherings where they joined the Thang Long Ling.”

The Yuntai layman paused for a while and continued: ”At that time, everyone regarded Venerable Yangshan's views as after-dinner talk...”

”Why?” Xia Ruofei felt very strange, ”Venerable Yangshan is so accomplished in arithmetic, and his cultivation base is also extremely high, it is said that everyone should pay more attention to his opinions!”

Yuntai said with a smile: ”If everyone follows Venerable Yangshan’s advice, then don’t try to crack the order of the dragon at all, because Venerable Yangshan feels hopeless! In fact, who can stand that? The temptation! In our time, there are many legends about the Order of Rising Dragon, and some of them, even if they are the powers of the out-of-aperture period, are fascinating.”

”In addition...” said Yuntai Lay Shi, ”Among those who have been studying the Order of Thang Long, there are several cultivation bases comparable to those of Venerable Yangshan, and they have invested a lot of time and energy. Senior Shan gave up easily with a few words. What's more, at that time, it was considered as a school dispute. Venerable Yangshan insisted that the correct way should be solved from the perspective of arithmetic; while some seniors always said before trying you The plan is that each floating point corresponds to a character. They constantly try various character combinations, and some persist for hundreds of years...”

Xia Ruofei was secretly speechless after hearing this. The supercomputer's calculations in less than four hours required hundreds of years of hard work by Golden Core and even Yuanying and Yuanshen masters, and they could not be completed for hundreds of years.

From this perspective, it is really not easy to say which is better or worse between modern technological civilization and cultivation civilization!

The so-called nothing is absolute, this is the case.

Everyone has his strong and weak points.

Xia Ruofei decided to immediately modify the algorithm and try to use the remaining time before running the program again.

This time his confidence is stronger than last time.

At this moment, Mu Sheng came over with Xia Ruofei's laptop computer, and said with a wry smile: ”Little brother Xia, this power...the computer is back to you.”

Xia Ruofei was a little strange, and asked, ”Didn't Senior Mu watch it?”

In such a little time, Mu Sheng would definitely not be able to finish the remaining 750 documents.
