To Four Thousand Years Later

Morris felt that everything that happened in the past two days was like a dream. He was obviously just an ordinary scholar, and at most he had done intellectual knowledge for several years. In addition to being proficient in mathematics, he knows neither architecture nor alchemy...and mathematics is not a high-status knowledge. His teacher is one of the best mathematicians in Frank, but the means he uses to make a living , but it is responsible for mediating intellectual knowledge...just a single job. Because of basic geometry and arithmetic knowledge, it has become quite popular among engineers. However, knowledge that is hard to be advanced cannot be realized, so it cannot be sponsored. In Franks and Goths, knowledge existed as a luxury. People yearn for knowledge because they equate truth with gods. They try to change their luck by gaining more knowledge...Because many scholars are based on such a realistic purpose, they are also quite realistic when choosing a research direction. All kinds of novel or practical inventions and more advanced machinery, just put into use a few years in advance, may bring completely different results to the state affairs. Therefore, since the Roman period, almost without exception, the monarchs of the Pan-Roman Kingdom have spent a lot of money to train some excellent engineers. Engineers here are generally divided into two types: mechanical engineers and construction engineers. After obtaining the highest-level "Master" title, the former will be called a mechanical master, while the latter is a joint crossbow that shoots a large number of arrows at the same time, or water bellows, water mills, and tangible knowledge of water. most respected. Next came the knowledge of the law and astronomy. Because the knowledge that is particularly good at the former will be invited by the nobles and even the royal family as tutors, and they will also teach many excellent bureaucrats. The latter is the necessary knowledge for the development of navigation. And as a teacher to many officers and captains. They will also be respected by people. After that, whether it's alchemy, geography, medicine, mathematics, poetry... These kind of knowledge that makes people feel vague, although they are still respected by ordinary people in the past, those who are often at a later stage can learn mechanical construction, When it comes to law, astronomy and other knowledge, many people will not learn those knowledge that are not easy to use.

It is said that in the past few years in Gothic, some believers of Solomonism were carrying out the "Return to the Holy Movement" for this purpose, trying to return the status of all knowledge to equality, and one of the many internal class divisions among intellectuals is to make people at the same level of knowledge income equalization. This movement has been supported by many mathematicians, alchemists, physicians and philosophers. But it has never been affirmed by King Stone and the Pope. Of course, they didn't deny it either.

In the end, after the Holy See was expelled by King Shi, the movement gradually died down and was forgotten.

Today, apart from worshiping the sun and fire, Zoroastrians will continue to devote themselves to the study and research of alchemy and optics. And the Egyptians who have this tradition have some research on human medicine, and those who have taken the initiative to enter the field of mathematics in the decades since then have been less and less. Morris felt that it was a kind of wonderful fate that he could find the current teacher. Even just a few years ago, a great Egyptian engineer announced that by now they had acquired all the geometrical knowledge of the world, and that geometry had come to an end.

This is not bullshit!

Morris brooded over his words. But the great scholar who was strongly supported by the corona pharaoh of Lower Egypt even invented a kind of engineering equipment that can be disassembled and assembled, and can be transported by livestock. It can be assembled on the battlefield as a bridge for chariots to pass through Towers of suppression on the battlefield. This invention made the soldiers of Lower Egypt extremely oppressive. In the wars launched with the Council of Upper Egypt a few years ago, relying on this invention gained a great advantage and even took back two provinces. Let the areas of Upper and Lower Egypt be equal again. Although there are also reasons why Eastern Egypt did not participate in the war. But being able to defeat the most powerful Upper Egypt on the frontal battlefield allowed the great engineer to be reused by the corona pharaoh immediately. The other party is a world-renowned master, while Jean Reese is just a little-known scholar... Of course Morris knows that it is impossible for anyone to believe his words. Even Morris's teacher believed that it should be that Egyptologists' research progress was faster than that of Frank's, and that they had touched the limits of the subject earlier. But Morris himself has an instinct. He believed almost a priori that solid geometry could never be the limit of geometry. Take a lemon or an olive as an example of such a shape. It is impossible to accurately say "You are a genius, you shouldn't be here.

Morris's first reaction was to take it as a prank his wife was using to cheer him up. He readily accepted this, and jokingly chased after him, "I know I'm a genius, but I can only be here. But the next day Morris was approached by the army. And looking for his identity At the head of the scary tall is a red-haired female knight, her body exudes a murderous and terrifying aura. Behind her are a total of eight silver iron guards. Their mayor and his teacher are all following later.

She claimed to be King Solomon's Chief Secret Officer. That is, the head of the State Secret Intelligence Agency. But then she claimed that someone had spotted his genius and recommended it to King Solomon. Then King Solomon sent her to investigate directly, and she saw Jean Reese's calculation paper, and thought he was really a rare genius...so she left a note for him, and went back to his teacher and the mayor to ask for it people.

This sounds like a fantastic development. But as soon as Zhenlis breathed a sigh of relief, she was frightened by the words of the secret agent and almost lost her soul-she asked Maurice to take the note to the king. Damn it, he just wrote "I just won't go" on that note!

After a while of chicken and dog jumping, he managed to tear off the second half of the note with great difficulty, and followed Ms. Secret Registrar to board the carriage to Ya. In fact, Morris had never seen such a luxurious vehicle in his life.

Who would have known that the inner layer of this carriage was actually made of lambswool! Afterwards, his three meals a day were also served to him according to the standards of nobles, until he was sent to Yashen, and was mentioned in front of the palace in a daze, but it still felt like a big dream.

I was received by the king just like this? I will become a nobleman? I became a scholar?

But what did I do?

Morris once wondered if he was still dreaming, but the dream was too long, and he has not woken up until now. But no matter how much he deceived himself, a cruel reality was before his eyes—he was about to enter the palace and talk to the king now.

who am I? What should I say? What does the king want to hear?

Morris's mind was in a mess, and he even felt intense fear. He looked at the closed door and put his hand on the handle. It's like standing still at the gates of hell.

"Is that Morris?"

A young and gentle voice came from inside the door: "Come in when you arrive.

damn it. Die or die, Morris suddenly felt a sense of ruthlessness—this may be a family tradition inherited from his father, a low-level military officer.

So he closed his eyes, pushed his hands, opened his eyes suddenly, and rushed straight into the king's room.
