After saying goodbye to the children, MEG and Luna walk side by side in Aden square in the setting sun for a while. Amy and the ugly duckling play hide and seek in front of them, and the laughter like a silver bell spreads all over the square.
Luna and McGonagall talked about the sensation and heated discussion of decimal and nine nine multiplication tables in the mathematical circles of lodu. The mathematicians of the Los empire are verifying the feasibility, because this decimal algorithm was applied once when the currency of the mainland was unified, which is the result of the collision of different mathematical civilizations of mathematicians of different nationalities.
However, in addition to the application of money, the Los Empire still maintained its own arithmetic tradition of 60 base, just as the arithmetic of the elves still used 20 base.
Although the decimal system was obtained by mathematicians on the whole continent at that time, it has not been paid attention to and extended exploration. In their view, the algorithm of decimal system is more complicated and difficult to understand, and even needs to be converted into 60 system before calculation.
It can be said that those mathematicians fell into the so-called traditional bondage and strange circle, never thought of starting from the decimal system, which also led to the most advanced and simple algorithm, which was still only used in the monetary system after decades of appearance.
McGonagall's nine nine multiplication formula table can quickly calculate the multiplication of single digits. As long as you recite it skillfully, even children can easily use it.
This subversive algorithm and discovery is undoubtedly an earthquake for the whole mathematical world. The simple arrangement, including all single digit multiplication, is enough to solve all single digit multiplication problems, and is enough to easily deal with many problems about money in life.
If it can be extended to tens and hundreds, the speed and efficiency of the operation will be far higher than that of other systems. It even provides the possibility of three digit multiplication, which is almost impossible to achieve in the 60 system. Even Mr. field can only do the simplest three digit multiplication.
Therefore, during this period, the mathematicians of the Los Empire gathered in lodu to discuss this issue, and there were several large-scale debates on whether to abandon the 60 system and comprehensively reform it into the 10 system.
The innovators see an infinite future in the decimal system, while the Conservatives think that the decimal system is just a false proposition that has not been verified. No one has studied it for decades, which has explained everything. Now an unknown guy casually throws out a so-called multiplication formula table, and even wants to subvert the tradition that has been passed on for thousands of years, which is unreasonable.
McGonagall couldn't help smiling when he listened to Luna's description. He didn't expect that a multiplication formula table he threw out would cause such a sensation in the world.
"Mr. McGonagall, I would like to go to you today. My grandfather is on the side of the innovators about innovating the decimal system, verifying and promoting the multiplication formula table. So he wants you to go to lodu and explain the origin and feasibility of these things to you." Luna stopped, looked at MEG and said seriously.
"It may not work. Mathematics is just a hobby for me. I can't leave the restaurant and go to Lotu to tell them the multiplication table." MEG smiles and shakes his head. He looks at the peace sculpture in the center of the square in the distance. Two white pigeons stop on the olive branch and say calmly, "it's a mission for me to bring wonderful food experience to the guests."
Luna looked at McGonagall's side face, golden afterglow sprinkled on him, like covered with a layer of light sands, yes, this is a talented mathematician, but also a talented cook, compared with arithmetic, the world without such a cook is more regrettable, some embarrassed to say: "sorry, Mr. McGonagall, made such an unreasonable request to you."
"It's OK. Miss Luna's grandfather is devoted to promoting the popularization of arithmetic. He is a great educator. If he needs anything, he can ask me at any time." McGonagall smiles and shakes his head. It's not that he pretends to be forced. It's just that if he leaves the restaurant and runs to lodu, the system will be crazy.
What's more, he came to the city of chaos from lodu with great difficulty. He didn't want to go back there so soon and stand in the middle of the whirlpool again. Who knows if he would fall down.
At this time, correspondence is naturally the best choice.
"Thank you. I'll pass your message on to him." Luna smiles again. Although MEG doesn't want to go to lodu, it's good news if he's willing to continue to offer his ideas.
They went on walking for a while. McGonagall thought Luna would ask a little about the children's assistance, but she didn't mention a word from the beginning to the end, which also increased his favor.
The girl is as clean as the white silk scarf on her shoulder. She can do good by herself, but she won't ask others to do the same.
It's getting dark. Luna says goodbye to them and goes back first. MEG also takes Amy to the direction of home. When he comes to the center of the square, he sees a row of four meter high magic crystal walls on the side near the street. Several magicians are directing the workers to debug and install them.
"Starting tomorrow, it's war." McGonagall looked at the crystal walls with some expectation in his eyes, which should be the preparation for the fight for the food ranking of Aden square starting tomorrow. If you want to do this kind of thing, you can't do it. Since you want to do it, of course, you want to be closer to the front.
Back to the restaurant, there were a few odd guests at the door looking at the notice. Seeing MEG coming back with Amy, they quickly gathered around and asked, "boss McGonagall, I heard that the restaurant has been smashed. Are you ok?"
"It's OK, the mob has been captured by the grey temple, but the restaurant has suffered a little damage, but it won't affect tomorrow's business." Feeling the concern of these guests, McGonagall was also moved, smiling and shaking his head.
"Yes, all the bad guys were burned by Amy's fireball!" Said Amy, nodding her head.
"The little boss is the best." Everyone laughed when they heard that MEG and Amy were OK.
"Well, boss Mai, you see we haven't eaten so late. Why don't you cook something for us? If the new product is ready, why don't you... "A bald man looked at McGonagall with a smile. Although he didn't say what he said, it's self-evident.
"I'm sorry that this kind of thing happened today. My young heart has been greatly hurt. I need to have a calm rest, so I need to calm down today. Please come back. I'll open business as usual tomorrow and have a new dish." MEG calmly refused and took Amy into the restaurant.
"This..." the guests looked at the closed door and looked at each other.
"Forget it. At this time, you'd better be considerate of boss Mai. I just heard that when the accident happened at noon, there was a big explosion in the restaurant. A group of dozens of thugs surrounded the restaurant and smashed all kinds of things. The grey Temple sent a large army to suppress it." One side a little old man said, youyou turned and left.
"So horrible? Let's forget it. Let's look forward to tomorrow's new dishes. We have to come to the queue earlier. "
Then the crowd dispersed one after another.
