Chapter 141: Fooling Lao Jia
Su Mansion.
In Lao Su's study.
At this moment.
A thin but energetic little old man was sitting upright on a chair, staring at Wang Lin sitting opposite him with sharp eyes like a hawk.
It seems that in the next second, Zaipei Liao light will be emitted from his eyes and Wang Lin will be reduced to ashes:
"Are you Wang Lin?"
Xu Yun rubbed the back of his neck and sighed:
"It's the villain."
When the little old man heard this, he immediately took out a letter from his body.
Snap!
I saw the little old man flipping his wrist and slamming it on the table:
"Did you write this letter?"
Xu Yun opened his mouth, wanting to say something like "This letter was written by the master".
But considering that I might be hung up and beaten if I said this, and my character was not that funny like Wang Qiang, I had no choice but to say quietly:
"That's right."
"."
The little old man couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice:
"Wang Lin, although I have just met you for the first time, I don't think you look like such a treacherous person, and your calculation skills are much higher than ordinary people. Why do you like to break chapters?
I know a dog in pieces. Ahem, a dog in pieces. Now his grave is probably more than ten feet high. ”
Xu Yun had been asked this question countless times in his previous life, so he didn't even have time to think about it, so he blurted out one sentence like a conditioned reflex:
"Nothing but familiarity with your hands."
Little old man:
"???"
Then he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said seriously:
"Wang Lin, I have now arrived in Bianjing in person. Is it time for me to read the remaining contents?"
Xu Yun seemed very happy this time and took out a piece of paper from his body.
spread out, spread out.
Pressing one of the corners, he pushed it in front of the old man, Jia Xian:
"Mr. Tongyu, the rest of the content is here, please take a look."
Jia Xian's eyes suddenly lit up.
I saw him eagerly taking the paper and starting to read it seriously:
".The number of remaining one hundred and thirty-two thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven has been taken over. The calculation steps are as follows"
". The next step is to take twenty times to enter the square, a total of 340 feet, and a total of 43,200 feet to enter the square."
". And by riding down the law into the Lian, a total of three hundred and sixty. The first side, the second Lian, the third retreat, as before."
Jia Xian watched and analyzed at the same time. The whole process did not use any pen or paper or tools at all, it was all mental calculations!
". The third person in Shang Shang can count three feet. If he rides on the lower method and enters the Lian, the total is 363. If he rides on the Lian to enter the square, the total is 44,289."
". The three feet above the destiny can be used to eliminate the reality, and when everything is appropriate, you will get it"
"The number of sides of a cube."
Read the last sentence.
Jia Xian couldn't help but close his eyes, frowning slightly, as if he was checking the results.
About a minute passed.
The little old man who seemed to have a hot temper slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath, and looked at Xu Yun with complex eyes:
"The writing is correct, and there is a third explanation for the law of seeking integrity in "Nine Chapters"."
"Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".
This is an ancient book that all primary school students of later generations have heard of.
But many people have only heard of its name, but don't know why it is called "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".
The reason is simple.
Because it has nine chapters in total
Yes, it's that simple.
The nine chapters are Fangtian, Millet, Shaofen, Shaoguang, Shang Gong, Loss of Balance, Insufficiency of Profit, Equation and Pythagorean.
Among them, in the chapter "Shao Guang", the most famous one should be the process of developing the cube root of 1860867. (Note: In the previous article, someone actually asked me who Shao Guangzhang was.)
As of 1100 AD, the ancients had only proposed two solutions to open square roots.
The solution proposed by Xu Yun has never been discovered before.
The third solution!
same.
This is also a mystery that Jia Xian has always wanted to solve in the first half of his life.
But it is a pity
Human energy is limited.
After discovering the mystery of triangles, Jia Xian had no choice but to give up the problem of solving cube roots and devoted all his attention to the field of triangles.
This is like some Internet writers in later generations.
Originally, I was writing a book that had both one and two thousand orders, but suddenly a hit book came out of the vest, so I had no choice but to drop the former and start writing the latter.
Of course.
Xu Yun would definitely not do such a thing. Most of his books were blocked before he wrote the next one.
What a sad story.
Then Jia Xian took a deep breath again, pointed to the corner of the envelope, and said to Xu Yun:
"Wang Lin, I wonder what the symbols drawn by Xinjiao mean?"
Xu Yun looked over his head and took a few glances, then explained:
"You said these, these are Arabic numerals."
"Arabic numerals?"
Xu Yun nodded and continued:
"This is a character invented by people from the Western Regions. It corresponds to the Chinese characters one, two, three and four. It is relatively simple to write. Mr. Tongyu can try to use it."
Arabic numerals are not like Yang Hui's triangle. They were indeed invented by the ancient Tianzhu people and are not among the buried achievements of ancient China.
Therefore, Xu Yun did not deliberately take them as his own. After all, he was not stealing from the country.
At present, what is used more frequently in Chinese arithmetic is a small tool called chips.
It is somewhat similar to the toothpicks of later generations, with a length of more than ten to twenty centimeters, so it is also called a calculation tool.
when calculating.
As long as these toothpicks are arranged in different styles, they can represent various numbers for calculations.
In addition, sometimes if there is no toilet seat, I will use it
Ahem.
all in all.
Although this method is more convenient than pen calculation, it is still a bit troublesome compared with Arabic numerals.
Although this thing was invented by the third brother in ancient times, I have to admit that it does have convenience visible to the naked eye.
So after careful consideration.
Xu Yun finally decided to introduce the concept of Arabic numerals first.
After all, the amount of calculations required in the future is destined to be large. It is easier to have a convenient tool. Of course, it is better to be more efficient.
Of course.
Although Jia Xian does not recognize Arabic numerals and symbols, it does not mean that he does not understand these concepts:
Quite the opposite.
Whether it is addition, subtraction, multiplication and division or square root and cube root, ancient Chinese mathematicians have already studied this.
Therefore, it took little time for Jia Xian and Lao Su beside him to quickly understand and accept Arabic numerals.
At the same time, after understanding the content of the letter and related mathematical concepts, Jia Xian finally calmed down and became less irritable than before.
He coughed slightly, put away the letter and Xu Yun's paper calmly, and said to Xu Yun:
"Okay, Wang Lin, you don't hesitate to use such means to lure an old man like me to Bianjing. It must be more than just to introduce Arabic numerals, right?"
In ancient China.
Although there is no later BBS or post bar in the mathematics circle, regional exchanges are still relatively common under the organization of some relatively well-established and wealthy bosses.
Even in the Jiangnan area, prototypes of small-scale newspapers and periodicals similar to Mathematics Journal appeared.
This kind of newspaper is very cheap. You can order it for only a few cents and print it about once a month.
Taking into account the paper, transportation capacity, and printing costs during this period, this price is basically the same as losing money.
all in all.
If Xu Yunruo just wanted to publish his results, he only needed to contact a few "editors" through Lao Su's relationship, and he could easily make his solution public.
So it's obvious.
Xu Yun went to such great lengths to 'cheat' himself to Bianjing, so he must have something to ask for.
Xu Yun didn't care about this either. He was silent for a moment, then he cupped his hands towards Jia Xian and said:
"I invite Mr. Tongyu to come here this time. I really have an important matter that I hope you can help me with."
"What's the matter?"
"Study the lens formula."
Jia Xian was stunned for a moment and blinked blankly:
"Lens? Formula?"
The latter is understandable, but what the hell is the former?
When Lao Su on the side saw this, he immediately took out a rough-polished lens from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Jia Xian:
"This is it."
Jia Xian took the lens and looked at it, and said thoughtfully:
"It seems to be sweet, but the sides are fuller, but judging from the material, it seems to be made of glass?"
Xu Yun nodded:
"Not bad."
Jia Xian's eyes couldn't help but become more and more confused:
"But what does it have to do with the formula?"
Xu Yun was silent for a moment and said:
"Mr. Tongyu, I once heard you say something like, 'There are all kinds of things in the world, and everything has its own truth.' Is that right?"
Jia Xian nodded slightly. This sentence can be regarded as a motto in his life:
"Not bad."
"Then sir, have you ever thought that the light we see every day has some unknown reason?"
Jia Xian's pupils suddenly shrank and he subconsciously looked out the window:
"Light?"
Xu Yun thought for a while and took out the pen and paper.
Draw a right triangle with the right side facing right and the base down.
Then he drew a few lines on each edge and marked 22 words at once, including "Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers, Holly Heart North".
Then he drew another inscribed circle and said while writing:
"Mr. Tongyu, if you take it vertically and horizontally from the center of the circle and outside the circle, you can get fifteen shapes, big and small, with no odd zeros."
"The three vertices are heaven, earth, and stems. The center of the inscribed circle of the triangle of heaven, earth, and stems is called the center."
"The vertical line passing through the center intersects the triangle and the inscribed circle at the three points of sun, south and north from top to bottom."
"The horizontal line passing through the center intersects the triangle and the inscribed circle at the three points of Sichuan, East and West from left to right."
"The vertical line passing through the east and the horizontal line passing through the south are both tangents of the inscribed circle. They intersect the heaven and earth triangle at the four points of Gen, Kun, Shan and Yue respectively, and intersect at the Xun point."
"The combination of Qiankun, Xungen and Gen can form a square."
"The vertical line crossing the moon intersects the east-west horizontal line at the green point, and intersects the ground stem edge at the spring point. The horizontal line crossing the mountain intersects the north-south vertical line at the vermilion point, and intersects the sky stem edge at the golden point. And these two lines intersect at the pan point .”
“The last horizontal line passing through the sun meets the sky and the sky at the day point, and the vertical line crossing the river meets the earth and the earth at the evening point.”
"The above points are recorded as 22 in total."
When Xu Yun first started drawing, Jia Xian's eyes were still a bit casual.
I don’t know why Xu Yun talks about light, but why he talks about triangles again.
But look at it.
His expression gradually became more solemn.
Wait until the end.
His expression was nothing but
Shocked!
As an expert on triangle issues, Jia Xian put forward an idea or theory a long time ago:
"Pythagorean strings combine to form a sum, subtraction to form a comparison, equality to form a change, multiplication to form a segment, self-multiplication to form a product, and power to form."
This is the famous Pythagorean Thirteen Pictures:
Refers to hook (a), stock (b), string (c), Pythagorean (b-a), hooked string (c-a), stocked string (c-b), Pythagorean (a+b), hooked string ( a+c), The sum of chords (b+c), the sum of chords (c+ (b-a)), the sum of chords (c+ (a+b)), the sum of chords ((a+b)-c), the sum of chords (c- (b-a)).
It can be said that.
Jia Xian has completed all the relationships between Pythagorean strings and their sums and differences. He has put aside the "Nine Chapters" calculation itself and conducted an abstract analysis of the Pythagorean problem.
The picture drawn by Xu Yun is not only very similar to him in concept, it is even more vivid and concise than the concept he proposed!
Looking at the horrified Jia Xian, Xu Yun couldn't help but let out a breath:
It seems that my ‘invitation to God’ was successful.
See here.
Many students must have understood the origin of the pictures drawn by Xu Yun:
That's right.
It's the "Seascope for Measuring the Circle"!
"Measuring the Circle of the Sea".
This is a masterpiece of mathematics written by Li Ye, a mathematician during the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, which is also the famous Tianyuan Shu.
Early 1234 AD.
Li Ye obtained an arithmetic book from Dongyuan in Tongchuan, which contained the theory of Nine Guests.
So Li Ye combined the many achievements of Dongyuan and Jia Xian to summarize Pythagorean Rongyuan into a complete system.
And more importantly.
After "Measuring the Circle in the Sea", Li Ye raised the question of half a Huang square power based on the Pythagorean circle.
Yes.
Half a piece of yellow square power.
That is, Kirchhoff's diffraction formula approximates the paraxial approximation of quantitative description.
Prototype!
After drawing the dividing line.
Xu Yun took Lao Su's lens and placed it upright on the center of the inscribed circle he drew.
Then he pointed to the ‘green’ line and said to Jia Xian:
"Look."
I only see this moment.
Affected by the refraction effect of the lens, the 'green' line inside and outside the mirror suddenly showed a deflection visible to the naked eye!
Xu Yun then wrote "天" on the outside of the green line, moved the lens, and wrote "地" on the inside of the green line that had been deflected.
Then he wrote:
Let the lower end of the green line be Xuan and the deflected end be yellow.
The positions away from the circle are flood and wilderness respectively.
Then there is:
Heaven = earth.
Xinbei=Xuan+(Hong-Huang)+(Hong-Shanxin).
Also:
(δ/2Xuan) Hong + Huang is much smaller than pi.
(Hong+Hong)×δ=心北×? ? (Huang+Xinzhu)×? =Hong-Shanxin×? .
After writing this, Xu Yun said to Jia Xian:
"Mr. Tongyu, this is some kind of twisted solution passed down by the villain's ancestors. However, there are several unknown symbols and derivation ideas that are unknown.
At the same time, this kind of solution is necessary data for preparing a certain object, so I can only ask Mr. to come, hoping to help the villain. ”
Jia Xian was silent for a moment, looked at the lens on the table again, and said:
"Wang Lin, the third solution to the chapter "Shao Guang" is my long-cherished wish. Originally I thought there was no hope that anyone could solve it before I died, but today you gave me a big surprise.
The ancients said.
If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.
The feeling of clearing up confusion is very important, I must not forget that calling you a broken dog before was just a momentary remark.
Now, even if it is to repay your kindness, I will never shirk the matter of the lens formula.
But Wang Lin.
I have never dabbled in the subject of lenses, so there is no guarantee that I will be able to get some answers. I can only do my best and listen to fate.
If you can't solve this problem, I will divide half of my family wealth with you as a reward. ”
Xu Yun was stunned when he heard this, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Oh my god.
Isn't this big boss too upright? Like the people in ancient times gave away pensions directly if they didn't agree with each other?
So he quickly said:
"Mr. Tongyu's words are serious. I am very grateful to you for your willingness to help. Please don't talk about raising funds any more."
Jia Xian glanced at him and said nothing. Instead, he turned around and cupped his hands towards Lao Su:
"Brother Zirong, can you borrow some pen and paper?"
Old Su smiled and saluted his old friend:
"Mr. Tongyu, it doesn't matter if you use it."
Jia Xian nodded after hearing this, walked to the table, and was about to start calculating.
But right now.
Suddenly the voice of Mr. Xie Duguan sounded outside the house:
"Sir, Mr. Yang Huai, Mr. Jin Qu and others have already arrived outside the hospital." Note:
I was chatting with an old pigeon in the afternoon. He was going to open a new book, but he found that he hadn’t logged in for a long time and forgot the password for his author account, hahahaha
Also, I am exhausted from writing this chapter, it is purely original derivation
(End of chapter)
