Enter the Immortal Cultivation

Natural sciences, including physics and biology, are all oriented to a natural world. The world they describe is concrete, and can be achieved through the senses to achieve a "first-order approximation", and then through other detection methods provided by technology, the "invisible world" is perceived to achieve a "second-order approximation".

Among these world-oriented disciplines, there are two special... cultures? Or "ways of thinking"?

That is "empirical" and "deductive".

Practitioners of the empirical way collect feedback from the world through practical actions again and again, and think about how "nature" works through these collected information.

Supporters of the deductive way deduce the laws of nature through logical rules.

Yuanli Shangren is essentially a deducer.

So is Suanjun.

At this level, they have taken the path of "virtuality".

Perhaps because of similar ideas, they also have many similarities in their understanding of "mathematics".

Yuanli Shangren's status in the Wanfa Gate is very high, even higher than the ancient mathematical sages.

However, in essence, Yuanli Shangren does not regard mathematics as the essence of the world.

For him, mathematics is a finger pointing to the moon, a precious raft to cross the river, not the "other shore" itself.

The same is true for Suanjun.

Although he is the most gifted and talented mathematician, Suanjun firmly believes that mathematics is not the root of the world, but a system constructed by humans.

It is a creation of humans.

But some monks who have left the sect, led by Wang Qi, do not think so.

Wang Qi believes that mathematics is a real and self-existent entity.

Of course, these two concepts are not completely incompatible.

For example, a set of real numbers must have a series of elements that satisfy a complex sequence.

So, does this sequence already exist, is it just discovered, or did humans create this sequence?

And today, as mathematics is increasingly detached from the material world, the contradiction between these two ideas is gradually deepening.

Wang Qi has always believed that mathematics exists objectively.

And it is precisely because of this that he grasped the only fact that is not affected by the "non-existence of reality".

The existence of mathematics does not rely on the reality of the material world.

The establishment of Qilian, Future Immortal Alliance, and Seeking Dao Agreement are all related to it.

To a certain extent, "mathematical reality" and "constructive theory" are just different lineages split by the choice of "axioms".

There are fundamental contradictions between them, but they are not to the extent of "irreconcilable".

Lianzong monks will not ignore the achievements of Lizong, and the same is true for Lizong monks.

As Wang Qi said to Bigots, every progress in mathematics is the result of one side digesting the other.

Since the ideas of Lizong - or more precisely, Wang Qi's foundation-building school are more conducive to the creation of a culture based on the survival of the human race, then let the ideas of the foundation-building school become a compulsory course for entry.

If you think this idea is wrong and want to join Lianzong, it is naturally not impossible.

At least those who can learn to this level, no matter how they get started, they will definitely be able to take their own path later.

Even if Grothendieck went to school in a concentration camp, he could rediscover measure theory.

Chen Youjia just felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

When she was in elementary school and the Immortal Academy, the status of Yuanli Shangren was unshakable.

Of course, now it is not to weaken the status of Yuanli Shangren.

Instead, it is to raise the status of Lai Buli and many Wanfamen Lizong Mathematicians.

Reshape culture and rebuild "objectivity".

This is the first step for the Immortal Alliance.

Wang Qi shook his head and said, "You only care about this? Sister! Isn't it me who is mentioned most in textbooks now? Even the title page is my words."

Chen Youjia was a little embarrassed: "It's too familiar, but I don't feel it..." She sighed: "The Wanfamen sect, the orthodox mathematics... It's like this... I can't believe it."

"It can only be like this." Wang Qi lowered his head and looked at his palm, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chen Youjia was inexplicably depressed: "This feeling, is it very... uncomfortable?"

Since Wang Qi confessed his memory to others, he naturally would not hide it from Chen Youjia.

"What did you say? About me being crazy?" Wang Qi pointed to his head: "Now that you're fine, it's not a problem."

"Just thinking about your past makes me feel sad..."

Wang Qi shook his head: "Now that you're fine, there's nothing to feel sad about. Besides, we might soon meet the cause of all this. Then won't we have grievances and revenge? Haha..."

Chen Youjia stopped. The snow under her feet made a creaking sound.

"I'm really worried this time."

"There's nothing to worry about." Wang Qi said: "Since Qi Lian exists and has given me a hint, it means that going to that place is not very dangerous, but it is very important..."

--The history of the King of Kings seems to have hinted something.

The two continued to stroll. After a while, several rays of light crossed the sky.

Chen Youjia said: "It's almost done? Don't let the guests wait too long..."

Wang Qi was not going to other places this time, but to black holes, Guixu, or the axis of the universe-Xiantian.

Time in that place is abnormally stagnant. Perhaps just a breath of effort, several years have passed.

As a former knower, Wang Qi does not need to worry too much about being left behind by technological progress. The biggest test for mortal astronauts, "time", is even less worth mentioning for immortals.

But after all, he was still only fifty years old, less than Yixingdian.

For him and the people he knew, this might be...

A very long time.

"Don't be afraid, we still have a long time anyway." Wang Qi held Chen Youjia's hand: "Let's go, everyone who came to see her off is probably here, so go back."

Wang Qi is about to travel far away, and it is very likely that he will be gone for a hundred or a thousand years.

For ordinary immortals, this is not a long time, but since the present Dharma Immortal Dao has appeared in this world, it has only been two thousand years.

This is indeed a very distant thing.

Naturally, someone will come to see you off.

Many of the disciples of the Foundation Establishment School are in other places, so there is no need to make a special trip to see them off.

Mainly just a few friends from the "Meige Mu Victims Association".

When Wang Qi and Chen Youjia returned to the base of the Foundation Establishment School, the Foundation Establishment School was already somewhat "lively".

Many disciples saluted Wang Qi.

Wang Qi returned the greetings one by one and walked all the way into his study.

The large study room actually seemed a bit crowded at this time. Su Junyu and Xiang Qi are naturally there. Chen Feng and Ai Qinglan also came. Their son Chenqiu is now more than ten years old and is going to school, but he is not taking him with him. When Wang Qi came in, Xiang Qi was still asking Lu Xiaoqian some questions. A little further away, Zong Lutuo sat on the edge indifferently. Behind him was Sigong Yao, who looked timid. Ai Changyuan also chatted and laughed with others along the way.

"Hey, the real owner is here." Xiang Qi stood up and poked Wang Qi on the shoulder: "I heard that you will be out for a long time this time, so everyone who can come is here - look, Ai Qinglan is now How busy you are, I just pushed a few testimonials. Lu Xiaoqian really took time off from her busy schedule this time."

Wang Qi nodded: "Maybe it's because I have a lot of face, right?"

This is really not bragging.

The reason why Ai Qinglan, Lu Xiaoqian and others are so busy is because there have been too many breakthroughs recently. There are too many new fields to open up, too many new empirical studies to be done, and too many new theories to learn and pay attention to.

There is no way not to be busy.

But this huge promotion was triggered by Wang Qi's counter-chronological spiritual power, a souvenir from the maze.

Wang Qi is really a bit thin-faced.

After all, the evidence that Ai Qinglan and Lu Xiaoqian participated in are of very high level. Their boss would naturally give Wang Qi some face.

After all, Wang Qi is indeed going to take risks for the human race.

Just a farewell party, just a few days away.

Besides, even animals have time to rest!

Wang Qi was chatting and laughing with everyone, but he approached Zong Lutuo's position.

"Is your junior sister healed already?" Wang Qi said, "It feels... pretty fast."

"After more than ten years, any heartache can be faded." Zong Lutuo was very open-minded: "And there are some new treatments recently... The people in Tianlingling said that it has something to do with you." He said this When he did, a faint smile finally appeared on his face: "Thank you very much for that."

Sigong Yao also timidly thanked him. It seems that she still has a fear and distrust of the outside world, but she is able to function normally.

"By the way, congratulations to you too. In the name of arithmetic orthodoxy - a few years ago, I never imagined that I could become friends with such a big shot..."

"Ah, that's right!" Xiang Qi rushed over and said, "You can't even imagine this, let alone me! When I met him, he was still in the Qi refining stage! He..."

On this issue, Xiang Qi's obsession seemed to be so strong that even Su Junyu couldn't hold him back.

Wang Qi stepped back and found a chair to sit on.

But Ai Qinglan leaned over: "Junior brother, what have you done? It feels terrible... Xiaoqian told me before that you brought great breakthroughs to the Piaomiao Way. Every Xiaoyao describes you like this, but they don’t know what you did specifically. My master and the others also..."

Behind her, Chen Feng, Lu Xiaoqian, and Ai Changyuan also looked over with curious faces.

"You will know after a while." Wang Qi looked past Ai Qinglan and looked at Lu Xiaoqian: "Senior Sister Lu, do you have frequent contact with Senior Sister Ai and Senior Sister Xiang?"

Lu Xiaoqian nodded reservedly: "It's just some questions..."

"You have always helped others in trouble, how come you almost ended my life when you came here?" Wang Qi pretended to be dissatisfied and complained: "The previous spiritual theory, tsk tsk."

"Ahem..." Lu Xiaoqian choked directly: "This... it's probably... your research is relatively deep, so you don't have a more precise answer yet..."
