Chapter 369

Euclid said seriously, "what do you mean it's too wasteful not to use? You're insulting geometry! Geometry is a great philosophy and the foundation of magic. Even if it is not used, even if it is only conceived in the mind, it has irreplaceable significance and value. practical? It's really insulting. Only when we get rid of the narrow thinking of 'pragmatism' can we explore deeper truth! If we are completely based on practical and sensory judgment, we will be bound by the so-called practical in front of us, just like walking around in the dark! We need the light of truth to guide our sight! You should rearrange your logic. "

Su Ye is helpless. This is a kind of extraordinary thinking of ancient Greek philosophers. They believe that the real world that can be seen by the eyes is not important, but the truth world that thinking touches is more important.

In their view, everything in reality is trivial and insignificant. Only the truth world of ideas and theories is eternal.

In the view of those masters, the reality in front of them can not change the truth of ideas and theories, but the truth can easily determine the reality.

In the eyes of Greek philosophers, geometry has nothing to do with mathematics. Even the Pythagorean School, which is called "everything is numbered", regarded mathematics as a part of philosophy.

In the eyes of philosophers and magicians, there is only magic and philosophy. Others are branches of philosophy and magic, which don't need to be paid much attention.

The value of this kind of thinking is counter intuitive and counter empirical. It feels very wrong, but Su Ye knows that this is one of the important reasons for the transcendental development of mankind.

"Teacher, you are right. Don't go against the correct logic. We should use truth to dominate common sense, not common sense to dominate truth. Truth can explain everything, but common sense is only an example of truth and can never replace or equal truth. For example, geometry is truth and useless! " Suye road.

Euclid's eyes brightened, he smiled again, nodded and said, "good, good! I like the saying that it is useless! You are indeed an excellent member. "

With that, Euclid carefully wrote it down in the magic book.

Su Ye coughed and said, "I mean, you can do some small games to exercise your mind in your spare time. For example, design a beautiful toothbrush in line with geometry to let others know the beauty of geometry. At the same time, you can also get some funds for you to continue to study geometry and form a virtuous circle."

Euclid thought for a few seconds and said, "I don't care if others can understand the beauty of geometry, but if it takes only a little time, I can continue to study geometry, and I'm willing to do it. However, I will give the best plan, and then you go to Archimedes. He likes to do this kind of thing. Hum! "

Euclid made no secret of his dissatisfaction with Archimedes.

As Su Ye was about to speak, Euclid continued: "don't make the same mistakes as Archimedes. He excessively pursues the analysis of the real world in front of him, and then pursues the truth in reverse. This method is not wrong, but may mislead us. Of course, Archimedes knew that he was only pursuing truth. Everything in the real world was just means, but others might not be able to distinguish this order. Most people just think that Archimedes found technology through reality and then found truth from technology. In reality, Archimedes thought in pursuit of truth. His attention to reality is just a means, not the ultimate goal. "

"Teacher, you're right. I must have this positive logic thinking." Suye road.

"Positive order logic? OK. " Euclid wrote it down again.

Other soldiers only feel brain pain. Is this the magician's daily life? Can gargling and washing your face extend such a profound truth?

Only castor and comodes listened and thought carefully.

Although I don't understand.

Not long after, two Spartan soldiers carried back the black barrel.

Su ye saw that there was barley porridge mixed with some other coarse grains and a little bacon, floating with light green olive oil.

Several Spartan soldiers frowned slightly. Although they had not eaten this kind of barley porridge before, this porridge was too thin to maintain high-intensity combat.

"This food is too little. Everyone eats the food I store, but try to save it. After all, I don't have much." Su ye said and took out some meat, including ham, bacon and fish.

The soldiers had bright eyes, each took enough meat and ate it.

After dinner, Su ye and others walked out of the blocked courtyard and looked around.

There are temporary tents everywhere in the open space, and some magic earth houses built by golden magicians, which can be used for more than ten days.

Compared with the Spartan soldiers, most of the soldiers' armor is old, their skin color is not so healthy, and they have no look in their eyes, but they are not desperate. They just seem to be open to everything in front of them and become indifferent.

The whole fortress was in a mess. Some people were still drinking porridge, some were slowly cutting their own dried meat, some began to practice their combat skills, some sat quietly, and some young people were excited and talking about the upcoming battle.

The old soldiers looked at the young soldiers with complex eyes.

Everything seems to repeat itself.

Not long after, a herald came and respectfully handed Su ye a wax plate and a bronze dagger.

After su Yexie, he took the wax board to read.

It turned out that this was an appointment order personally issued by the commander of the legendary soldier coalition army, general mityad. Without violating the higher-level military order, Su Ye was allowed to lead the Spartan soldiers to act according to the circumstances. After that, various codes, military sequences and command lists were attached.

Su ye put away the wax plate and waited quietly.

Many heralds came and went everywhere, issuing orders constantly and orderly in disorder.

Around 8 a.m., the fortress was illuminated by the sun.

The house of the fortress was still dark, the ground was still muddy, and the soldiers were still covered with stains.

However, the world seems to have a glimmer of vitality.

Su Ye led thirty Spartan soldiers and Euclid out of the north gate.

The morning sun melts the fog in the distance, the salty sea breeze blows slowly from the East, and the distant sky becomes a blue line.

On the edge of the blue, the Persian camp was like a black magic cow crawling on the coast.

Groups of neat or messy Persian soldiers are slowly coming out of the camp. From a distance, they look like moving dark fields.

Su Ye blinked and saw that in the Persian camp, flying snakes were flying leisurely. Those flying snakes had black four wings and were red all over. When breathing, thin flames came out of their noses.

Each flying snake is seven or eight meters long and human waist is thick and thin.

Those flying snakes with angry snake and fire dragon blood form the ace army angry snake army.

In the camp, many Persian magicians were meditating, and magic lights were suspended in the air to soak up the magic.

Su Ye looked carefully at the teams that kept pouring out of the Persian camp.

Emaciation with sallow complexion, as like as two peas from the fields, the yellow skin is thin and dirty, with legs and muddy and dusty clothes, and ragged spears.

Some spears are not even polished, and thin wooden thorns are erected on them.

I thought they would all be listless, but unexpectedly, each of them had a fierce light in their eyes, and even a trace of contempt.

Suye thought that maybe Persia occupied the island of EuPIA. These soldiers were still immersed in the past victories and did not pay attention to the Greeks. At the same time, they must be inspired. As long as they occupied Greece, they will get a generous reward.

When a large number of light infantry came out, teams of soldiers with bright armor walked out.

These new soldiers are well equipped. Most of them wear high-quality leather armor, shields and spears. A few even carry shiny spears behind them, just like Spartan soldiers. The reflective spears are like the stars in the day.

A few of them even wear better metal armor.

These are the main force and regular army of Persia, directly under the king of Persia, commonly known as the king's army.

After the king's army, teams of soldiers wearing dark red armor walked outward like human cans. A bright red machete sign was engraved on the left chest of each human can.

These undead troops marched forward in a neat and uniform manner, just like puppets.

Suye looked back at the soldiers on the Greek side.

The soldiers on the Greek side are composed of people from multiple city states. They can be colorful. However, all Greek soldiers, even the most sloppy and poor soldiers, are wearing old leather armor.

Most soldiers have metal armor, or metal chest armor, or metal arm armor, which is in sharp contrast to the Persian army opposite.

Greek soldiers don't have too many yellow faced and skinny people. Most of them are symmetrical, and their average height is significantly higher than that of Persians.

After simple verification, Su ye brought people into the Chinese army, while Euclid separated from them.

Su Ye stood where he was, observing the situation of the Chinese army and discussing with the experienced soldiers in the team.

Comodes and castor were silent. Their battlefield experience was not as good as those ordinary Spartan soldiers.

Soon, the commander of the Chinese army and the herald of senior general lamakus found Su ye and gave some suggestions. He hoped that the Spartan team could help stick to the Chinese army and was allowed to leave the Chinese army to the flank only in the process of pursuit.

"Obviously, general LaMarcus doesn't like our team." Castor curled his mouth.

"We don't care about other people's attitudes, we just need ourselves." Suye road.

"Shall we contact those golden mages?" Comodes road.

Su Ye followed komodes' eyes and looked at Euclid's place. He saw more than a dozen golden mages talking and laughing with Euclid.

Those golden mages were over 40 years old, and even old mages with white hair and beard were kind to Euclid.

"No, Euclid will help us secretly. Now if we get too close to Euclid, we will be noticed by those who want to. Next, you mainly protect me, and I mainly use traps to delay the Persians. " Suye road.

Time passed slowly. Among the Persian army, the heralds on horseback kept giving orders, and the ranks of the king's army and the undead army gradually became orderly. At the same time, the generals of the left, middle and right sides of Greece began to use magic beards. Both sides lined up.
