I made science magic

Chapter 304 Our purpose is to explore where magic comes from!

Early the next morning, a group of wizard apprentices entered the examination room with an anxious mood. After getting their own examination papers, they quickly started calculating with frowns.

Peirce did not dare to delay and glanced at the first question.

[Two people A and B are traveling from two places to each other at the same time. After four hours, they meet at a distance of 5 kilometers from the center point. It is known that A's speed is faster than B's. How many kilometers per hour is A's speed faster than B's? 】

Peirce's brows suddenly furrowed. This should be a Mathematical Olympiad question, asking for an unknown number, but there were not many conditions given. After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea to solve the problem and began to draw a line segment diagram.

On the other side of the examination room, several wizards responsible for invigilating the examination were also looking at the examination papers in their hands.

Furla and others were very interested in this graduation examination of the Iyeta School, so they volunteered to come over to supervise the students, and at the same time they also became somewhat interested in solving the questions.

Originally, Fulla thought that these questions were prepared for apprentices and would not be easy for a formal wizard like herself, but after reading several questions in a row, she was immediately dumbfounded.

"Is this what Ietta Academy usually teaches?" A wizard asked in confusion. He thought that the content of the exam would be about elements, herbs, alchemy and plasticity.

"Not bad!" Linn nodded, looked at Fulla and others, and said. "In general, there are three subjects: Mathematical Olympiad, Chemistry and Physics... and biology may be added in the future."

"But what's the use of learning these? If you have time, you might as well learn more magic..." Fulla curled her lips.

Lin En straightened his expression. "Mathematics is the basis of all natural subjects. Chemistry is the subject that studies the composition, structure, and changes of magical elements. Physics is the exploration of the laws of the world..."

"The purpose of studying these courses is to explore where magic comes from!" Linn said decisively.

Where does magic come from?

Hearing this, everyone present was trembling. Although they studied magic in the past, they rarely thought about this issue in depth.

Lin En continued to speak. "As for their functions, I don't think you have seen them before? They are everywhere in the city! You have seen glass, paper, airships, ships, and even electromagnetic tracks.

Cannon, everything can be classified into these three subjects!"

Thinking about what she had seen and heard since entering Iyetta, Furla put away her original contemptuous thoughts and began to seriously examine each question.

It’s just that I have never studied Math Olympiad systematically, and for a while I really didn’t know where to start to solve these equation problems, so I had to look to Lin En for help.

Lin En raised his hand and tapped it lightly, creating a soundproof barrier nearby, and then explained.

"This question is actually easy to calculate, but it's just a little detoured. If A and B have the same speed, then they will definitely reach the midpoint at the same time, but they meet five thousand meters away from the midpoint, so the speed must be faster.

The faster A walked twice as far as B, which is 10,000 meters."

"And it took four hours for the two to meet, that is, A and B both walked for 4 hours, so just a simple division operation is needed to find that A's speed is 2.5 kilometers faster than B!"

Lin En explained the idea of ​​solving the problem as concisely as possible. This problem is actually not difficult and can be solved with a little use of your brain.

The exam paper he gave has a total of fifty questions, each question is worth two points, and the total score is one hundred. Sixty points is considered a pass, which means you only need to answer thirty questions correctly!

The difficulty of these questions has also been carefully designed by Lin En. There are twenty-five 'point-giving' questions like this, twenty 'easy' questions, and five 'more difficult' questions.

According to his expectation, if Alok and others took notes carefully, they should be able to answer all the scoring questions easily, and then they only need to answer five 'simple' questions to pass.

However, this is just a passing grade. Lin En hopes that there will be a few outstanding students for key training. These are all scientific research talents.

Of course, in addition to the "liberal arts" exam, these students also have to take a practical course to test their actual combat and basic spellcasting abilities. The two are added together and averaged to determine whether an apprentice is qualified to become an official wizard.

This also gives some students with partial subjects additional opportunities.

After Lin En analyzed a few Olympiad Mathematical Olympiad questions, Fulla and others quickly experienced the fun of solving the questions, and each of them started pondering with pens in hand, completely forgetting that they were here to supervise the students' exams.

For Orlando, these 'point-giving' questions were nothing. After a few glances, he turned his attention to the questions on the exam paper that Linn marked as simple.

[A wizard driving an airship accidentally encountered an air crash. He jumped from an altitude of 480 meters. After free fall for a certain distance, he used the slow fall technique to perform a uniform deceleration movement with an acceleration of two meters per second and reached the ground.

The hourly speed is exactly zero. Without considering air resistance, find the total time of falling and the distance of free fall...]

Well, this should also be an equation problem.

Orlando thought for a while, and he remembered that Lynn said that free fall motion is a uniformly accelerated linear motion with an initial velocity of 0. The formula is v=gt, g is the acceleration of gravity, which seems to be 10 meters per second? What is this t?

Should it be time?

But the falling body is divided into two parts, the front and back. The time and distance of the fall are unknown, and the answer needs to be found. Simply applying this formula will definitely not work...

Orlando thought hard for a long time, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He found that he... couldn't do it!

"Dean Lin En, these questions are too difficult, aren't they?" Orlando couldn't help but remind him, you call these simple questions?!

Is this really a question that apprentices should do? Does he think this is a bit outrageous?

"Is this difficult?" Linn gave Orlando a strange look. He remembered that he had already talked about the relevant formulas and published them in the [Magic Daily], so that wizards and even wizards who were interested in studying mathematics could learn about them.

People can also enjoy the fun of Mathematical Olympiad.

Moreover, each wizard is equivalent to a humanoid computer. Even the apprentice's computing power is much stronger than that of ordinary people. These questions should be within an acceptable range.

Just as Lin En was about to explain, his expression suddenly changed. He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. Magic power surged around him. In an instant, a copper nail flew out and nailed an apprentice with lightning speed.

On the quill and examination paper that I am holding...
