Chapter 326

Su Ye sighed and said half jokingly, "fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I would have covered my face now. If what I expected is good, your magic talent should be better than your performance. "

"I could have been promoted to bronze for a long time, but my heart is full of countless doubts. I don't know whether my path is right or wrong. I'm worried that I will become the same person as those Miletus mages, and finally learn endless knowledge, but I always stay in the Holy Land and can't see the legend. I'm looking for you to understand the inner things of Plato college and to learn the essence of magic. " Said kremela.

"If what you want is the essence of magic, I can't say you're wrong. I can only say that I'm also pursuing. In this regard, we are like-minded. Even legendary masters may not understand the essence of magic. In other words, magicians spend thousands of years to pursue, maybe they are only close to the essence, but can't reach the essence. " Suye road.

"I can try." The girl's eyes brightened again.

"Well, I like your courage very much. Let's try together."

They looked at each other and smiled.

Su ye said, "with your talent and family background, it's easy to enter Plato college. First, I wish you to become a student of Plato college, sister clemera."

"Xuemei? I like the name. " Chimera laughed happily.

"Since you want to be a student of Plato college, I'll ask you a question that every sophomore needs to answer on behalf of the teachers of Plato college. Now put your hand on the magic book. After I ask the question, you should write down the first idea in your mind. Remember, you must write it in three seconds. If you can't write it, I'll stop the course. "

"OK."

"The question is, if master Plato found you and ordered you to climb Olympus, what would you do? One... Two... "

Crimela was stunned, hesitated for a second, and wrote a word in the magic book.

"... three! Tell me what your first thought was. " Suye road.

A hesitation flashed in her eyes and said, "I have a more dangerous problem in my mind. Can I change it?"

"If you are in school, you can disguise your true intention with another one, but there are only you and me here. You can say it boldly."

"OK. My first thought was, why did master Plato give this order? " Clemela stared into Suye's eyes.

Su Ye smiled happily and said, "you are a very excellent child. Asking questions without questioning is worthless. So, let me ask you a question. What else do you want to learn from me besides the essence of magic I can't teach? "

After a while, she raised her head, her eyes shining like stars, and said, "I want to be lit."

Su Ye stared at the pink diamond eyes and remained silent.

Clemela is talking about Socrates' famous saying.

Education is not indoctrination, but lighting a flame.

Kremela explained: "my former magic teachers, or teachers in all other fields, are almost instilling knowledge. They are teachers. They are very kind, they also have profound knowledge, they have rich experience, and they have strong abilities in their own fields. However, to tell the harsh truth, they are not educators, or even qualified educators. But I know that master Socrates is an excellent educator and master Plato is an excellent educator. I also believe that there must be other excellent educators in Plato college. "

"Are you really only twelve?" Su ye asked with a smile.

"I'm more ignorant than my peers." Clemela smiled, her eyes flashing unspeakable happiness.

"Yes, we will always feel ignorant, and we will be more ignorant."

They looked at each other and smiled.

Su Ye picked up the magic quill pen matched with the magic blackboard, went to the blackboard, looked into clemela's eyes and said, "I can't teach you the essence of magic, and I won't even be a qualified educator. In this first class, I don't teach you magic, language, writing, phonetics, anything you can learn directly in school. Even, no teacher has taught me. "

Clemela instinctively straightened her body and her eyes were brighter.

Su Ye wrote on the magic blackboard.

"I am a person who likes to think nonsense, so I have accumulated a lot of problems in my mind. I didn't know much until I entered Plato's college, but it wasn't enough. In first grade, I was in a muddle. I didn't know what to do. Not long ago, I suddenly realized a concept. I don't remember whether I heard a similar concept from people in lion harbor or read it in a book, but this concept and word I can share with you in this class, and I think every child should learn from childhood... Not knowledge, but a kind of thinking. "

Su ye thought silently in his heart, Aristotle, I don't know if you have completed metaphysics and put forward the concept that will be handed down to future generations, but in order to suppress this evil student, you can only use your big killer.

Su Ye pointed to the word with a magic pen.

Clemela's eyes widened.

"First principles!"

"So, what is the first principle? In short, there is a first principle in every field or system. This principle is a proposition or hypothesis, which cannot be deleted or omitted, and cannot be violated. This first principle is the law of law, the method of method, the cognition of cognition and the thinking of thinking. Once you understand the first principle in a field and practice it repeatedly, everything you do in this field is like... Standing on the roof and pouring water down, draining down, like splitting bamboo sections with a knife, unstoppable. "

"Of course, this is a narrow interpretation, because it is too absolute to be explained clearly in simple sentences. As we said before, it is difficult for us to find the essence of magic, and the essence of magic is a first principle. "

"The rigid first principle only exists in some truth disciplines. Like philosophy, mathematics, geometry, botany, history and so on. "

"For example, in geometry, we can assume a public hypothesis, or call it the axiom of plane geometry, such as' there is and only one straight line passing through two points'. Another explanation of this geometric axiom is that two points determine a straight line. In the field of plane geometry, we cannot overturn this axiom, which is a first principle in plane geometry. The example I give you is very simple. You even think it is like this. Even fools know it, don't you? " Su ye asked.

Clemela gave a sincere nod.

"You will find it very simple or even useless, but the great discipline and magic are based on these seemingly simple and useless things. Because with this seemingly simple and useless axiom, we can deduce theorems that seem useless, but these useless theories together will form a huge force to promote the great development of mankind at an incredible speed. "

Su Ye hesitated and didn't say anything deeper.

"I don't quite understand, because I have also studied geometry, but I don't understand what axioms, postulates or theorems are." Clemela frowned slightly.

Su ye thought that although some theories have been put forward, which can be regarded as axioms or theorems, the strict definitions of words such as "axioms" or "theorems" have not been clearly put forward until Aristotle and Euclid are born.

Now, Aristotle and Euclid are too young.

Now the geometry of Pythagorean School can only be regarded as geometric theory, which is barely regarded as generalized geometry. Euclid's original geometry is the geometry in the real sense.

Su Ye smiled and said, "these are great knowledge. We'll talk about it slowly in the future, but here, it's just an example. Since geometry is difficult to understand, let's change the easy to understand examples in magic‘ Master Democritus and his teacher liujibo put forward the famous "atomism". He believed that all things are composed of an indivisible smallest thing. He was not sure what it was, but named its smallest thing "atom". Regardless of whether the atomism itself is right or wrong, we will find that all the legendary master's understanding, behavior and thinking mode of legendary magic are based on this "atomism" and firmly believe that all magic and all substances are composed of one atom. And atomism became the foundation of his promotion to legend, isn't it? "

Clemela nodded and said, "yes, it's right. He said in person that his magic achievements are based on atomism."

"Then, in his eyes, the essence of magic is' atomism ', which is the first principle in the magic field he' thinks'. Can you understand this?" Su ye asked.

"Can understand the surface meaning." There was a trace of solemnity and solemnity in clemela's eyes towards Su Ye.

Su Ye continued, "I'll take myself as an example, and you'll understand better. When I was studying magic, I was always looking for a 'first principle of magician combat'. At that time, I thought that when I was fighting, I could not fight indiscriminately or just rely on instinct. I should find the most basic, essential, firm and most suitable supreme method, use this method to guide my fight, and try my best to ensure that this supreme method is applicable to any battle. "

"I thought, it's impossible. Because we will encounter countless possibilities. No one method can be applied to any battle. If we pursue one method to apply to all battles, we will encounter accidents. " Clemela said firmly.

But the next moment, with a slight blush on her face and a light water color in her pink eyes, she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, teacher, I shouldn't talk nonsense."

Su Ye praised, "you did a good job! This is the way I like to see. This is communication and sharing. You should keep it in the future. And you're right. I thought as like as two peas at first, because I found that fighting with the icy wolf needed a way. Fighting with the magic cow requires another method. Fighting with a soldier needs a way. Fighting with another rank fighter may have to change the way. So, I thought and thought, and suddenly thought of a question, 'why do I have to use this method when fighting? Is there any supreme method that can help me win outside or before fighting?'
