Chapter 156 Infection(1/2)
Martin didn't quite understand why this ceremony had something to do with him.
But the moon cannot explain clearly.
Fortunately, Dewick had already sent Mr. Karan's news.
Let's see what he said first...
Martin quickly opened the letter, took out the letter paper and expanded it, and quickly read the content above.
[I have never witnessed this ceremony with my own eyes, but if Faralinburg appears, I suggest you don’t go out recently...]
[…Asley is the God of fraud in the Third Age. He enjoys playing with people's hearts, and this ritual can reveal this.]
[The ritual is used in the early stage of the ceremony. A certain number of participants will be selected through some small questions and then a special test will be conducted]
[These small questions are very interesting. I wrote down a part of them on the back of the letter...]
[As for the content of the test, I still have no idea, but those who survive in the end are often the most cunning people...]
Another god!
Fraud, soul, space, these are the three of them. I don’t know which ones are left.
Martin picked up the hot tea that had just been brewed and was about to turn to the back of the letter when he suddenly felt a surge of spirituality appearing suddenly, quickly covering his body.
Here comes!
Finally it was my turn.
Martin thought to himself.
As the light in front of me dimmed, the scenery had changed.
It is an empty hall with only a small area illuminated.
On the right, there are three stone pillars half a person tall. There is a funnel-shaped depression at the top of the pillar and a small hole in the middle.
On the left, there are eight water tanks, each filled with water.
There are a large number of water cups on the middle ground.
A voice rang in Martin's ear.
"Seven of the eight water tanks are filled with clear water, and only one of them is colorless and odorless poison. After three minutes, you have to drink the water from seven of them..."
"Three pillars can distinguish poison. When the poisonous water is poured in, the stone pillar will sink in two minutes..."
Martin was happy. I guess no programmer didn't know about this problem.
However, with time limit, Martin speeded up and started to mix the water in the water tank with a cup...
Two minutes later, Martin shook his head and his eyes were back to normal.
Martin numbered the eight water tanks according to the binary system, then operated them through and prepared twelve cups of water.
Then pour it into the groove on the column according to the rules, and it is easy to find the poisonous tank...
Using three pillars to find the toxic portion of the eight cylinders of water, the whole test only takes three minutes, but it takes two minutes for the column to react to the poison, so this means that the person being tested actually has only one chance to experiment.
It seems that the probability is one-half again, but in fact it is 100%.
But this question is difficult, especially for people who have never been exposed to binary systems.
Even with the relatively smart Cassan, Martin was not sure she could answer it.
But as long as you think a little bit, you should think that eight cylinders of water should be used to verify, because the number of cups is very large, far exceeding the need for normal verification methods.
【You have been marked, passed the test 1/3】!
One test was completed, two more times.
Martin felt a little pressure, not because he was worried about himself, but because if the question was more difficult than this, then Doriani would be in danger.
As for Bishop Aslan, it’s not his turn to worry about it.
Turning the letter paper to the back, Mr. Karan wrote many questions and answers.
Most of them are known to Martin.
After copying it, Martin got up and went out, and quickly delivered it to Doriani.
The sooner this thing is delivered, the better.
And be sure to remember the pressure of the force.
Even Martin felt that the questions he had asked before should be supplemented.
For example, this kind of binary problem...
Recalling the rules of triggering the previous tests, it seems that they are all exposed to certain items.
For example, Doriani.
The first trigger ceremony was in front of two glasses of water.
The second trigger is after touching the balance.
The test content of the ceremony is also related to what you encounter.
Judging from Mr. Karan's introduction, these three tests are just screening...
Knocking into the house, Doriani's house, Martin found that she was reading a book too.
And not just looking at it, she has a very thick stack of manuscript paper, which is densely filled with various calculation processes and many function images.
Martin was very surprised and picked up the manuscript paper that was almost twenty centimeters thick on the table and looked at it: "You have been teaching these things yourself?"
Doriani felt a little embarrassed, his pretty face turned slightly red, and he nodded slightly: "I feel very interesting, and how to say it, these numbers and images seem to point me in the direction."
Since she attended Martin's course, she has been obsessed with the math content Martin taught in class and has been studying it privately.
The textbook was ready-made, and Martin asked Gladys to copy a copy for her at that time.
Martin didn't take this matter to heart, thinking she was just interested for a moment.
Doriani is also relatively introverted and has never asked Martin about related questions.
And because of work, she couldn't take Martin's class.
However, after looking at the manuscript paper above, Martin has even begun to study the equations of ellipses.
This is almost up to the course he gave to several students!
After looking forward again, she also deduced the root-finding formula of the quadratic equation herself, and was also studying the image transformation of the function.
Even Martin saw her trying to calculate the graphical area of the composition of the parabola and the x-axis!
This is the content of points in calculus!
Although Doriani is not very talented, his math talent is far superior to his other students.
"You thought of these yourself?" Martin asked in surprise with the stack of manuscript paper.
"Many of them are the contents in your textbook." Doriana pointed to the thin book "Introduction to Functions" and said embarrassedly.
Of course, he knew the teaching materials written by Martin himself.
"This book is too simple. I will give you a more in-depth knowledge in a few days." Martin said suddenly.
In fact, he is currently taking the time to write limits, guidance, and calculus-related content, which is also the next teaching plan.
However, seeing that Doriani's talent is so good, I had an idea in my heart.
Perhaps her own advancement conditions will still fall on her!
"If you have any questions in the future, you can discuss them together, don't keep them in your heart." Martin said.
Of course, before discussing mathematics, Martin did not forget his real purpose and quickly explained the test he had just encountered to Doriani.
Sure enough, this question is quite complicated. Doriyani thought for a while and knew that clean water and poison should be mixed, but he didn't know how to mix it specifically.
Martin told her the answer, and in order to make her better understand, he explained the binary system to her.
The numbers in this world are similar to Arabic symbols, and they are all very simple symbols used in the Quaternary Lanpei.
So Martin doesn't need to bring this 123...this set over.
Binary is not complicated either.
People will find it complicated mainly because it is different from the decimal system we usually use.
"This kind of counting method is very simple. 0, 1, two numbers can express everything... two states? Feeling can also be related to reality..."
Doriani's sensitivity to the field of mathematics is far beyond Martin's imagination.
If she followed her ideas, would the entire differential machine suddenly come out?
It seems that Gaver, who has a variety of craftsmen with excellent skills, is not impossible!
Thinking of this, Martin became excited first.
Most of his studies are related to computers!
Although mechanical calculators such as differential machines are far from being considered real computers, they finally saw a glimmer of hope, right?
