Chapter 267 Pythagorean Theorem
The two started chatting, and it was almost natural that they fell in love.
Gu Chan laughed strangely, sat down cross-legged, stared at Old Bai's playful face and said, "Old Bai, can you give me a simple test? I'm really not proficient at chess, and there's no point in spending time here. Do you think so?"
"Okay, then let's do it in reverse. If you can come up with a question that stumps me, I'll consider you to have passed." Lao Bai stretched out his hand to remove the white beard on his chin and said with a confident look.
Gu Chan stared at him as if he were a fool.
Oh shit!
She really wanted to say, is this the courage Liang Jingru gave you?
Can you even say such big words?
Lao Bai thought that Gu Chan was frightened by his pretense, and he said with a proud face, "Why, you are stumping me because you don't have the confidence?"
"No, I just want to know, are you so knowledgeable? Are you really not afraid of others making things difficult for you?" Gu Chan asked.
"Hahaha……"
Lao Bai suddenly opened his mouth and laughed.
After laughing for a while, he said with a proud face, "Do you know why I stay here?"
"I don't know." Gu Chan said, spreading her hands.
"Since I was ten years old, I have conquered all the invincible opponents in terms of knowledge. At the age of twenty, I have already stepped into the semi-immortal realm with one foot. I have never been invincible since then, so I am lonely! I am invincible in literature and invincible in martial arts. "My life was very boring, so after I turned forty, I came here and locked myself up here to live in seclusion," Lao Bai explained arrogantly.
Gu Chan opened her mouth wide and was speechless.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that the seemingly skinny old man in front of me was actually a genius in the world. He was talented in both civil and military skills. He chose to lock himself up and hide in the world just because he couldn't find an opponent and was too lonely!
No wonder no one in the world knows that there is such a strong person with half-immortal strength in the world.
After understanding these situations, Gu Chan aroused the desire to challenge, took out the pen and paper directly from the bag on her waist, waved her hand, and quickly drew a triangle on the paper, and then marked the two sides with three and four. Numbers, find the length of the third hypotenuse chord.
If modern people read this, they would definitely write five without thinking!
After all, in the Pythagorean theorem: hook three strands, four strings and five, who hasn’t learned it when they were in junior high school? Isn’t that just something that comes out of nowhere?
But this world is ancient! Who knows what the Pythagorean Theorem is?
No, when Gu Chan pushed the paper in front of Lao Bai, he was confused on the spot, "What kind of question is this?"
"Go on, aren't you invincible? Don't you know such a simple math problem? Let me tell you, this is a triangle. The two sides are three and four in length respectively. I want to ask you how long is the hypotenuse? Are you slow? Just wait and see!" Gu Chan explained with a look of disgust.
Lao Bai picked up the question paper with both hands and looked at it carefully, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
Gu Chan threw the pen in front of him, lay down directly on the ground, lifted Erlang's legs and hummed a song, thinking to herself, if you hadn't been so awesome just now, I would have given you a simpler debut in the same cage as a chicken and a rabbit. The question is right, but you have to boast so much, so I won’t give you a taste of the entire Pythagorean Theorem.
It’s okay now! Can't you understand?
With this thought in mind, Gu Chan didn't say much, just closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Lao Bai picked up a pen and kept writing calculations on the ground, but no matter how he calculated, it was very difficult to calculate the Pythagorean Theorem with the mathematical knowledge of this ancient world.
And the most important thing is that the length of the third hypotenuse of the triangle looks like five, but you have to calculate it to get this number! However, he couldn't calculate it, so he could only freeze here and didn't know what to do.
Time passed very quickly, and three days passed quietly in the blink of an eye. In the past three days, the old man had been stifled by the question asked by Gu Chan. He was originally very angry, but now his face was full of exhaustion, and his white hair was messy.
Gu Chan lay down in front of him, supporting her chin with both hands, tilting her legs back and moving back and forth, and said, "Lao Bai, why don't we forget about it and I'll tell you the answer directly. You've been holding it in for three days. I I really can’t stand it, I really feel like I’m abusing you!”
"Young man with a yellow mouth, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of me?" Lao Bai said angrily.
"Okay, okay, you keep doing the math, and I'll keep waiting for you. I'll see how long you can keep your stubbornness." Gu Chan said with a smile.
Then she stopped staying here and immediately got up and went down to the first floor to play with the chimpanzees.
Two days later, Gu Chan sang, danced and smoked medicine cigarettes with the chimpanzees downstairs every day. It was a happy little life.
On the other hand, Lao Bai was almost driven crazy by this question.
He was no longer as calm as before. He was already walking around the room on the second floor with difficulty, unable to calculate the correct answer at all.
That night, Gu Chan came up to the second floor with a cigarette in her mouth. The old man was already paralyzed on the ground and didn't want to move.
For five whole days and five nights, he had not closed his eyes even once, and now he was already paralyzed from exhaustion.
Gu Chan was startled, and hurriedly walked to the old man, helped him sit up, then put the cigarette to his mouth and said, "Quickly, take a sip to keep you refreshed and comfortable."
"What is this?" Lao Bai asked curiously.
"This is called medicinal smoke. I made it with medicinal herbs. Its main purpose is to refresh the mind." Gu Chan said.
With curiosity, Lao Bai took a deep breath from the cigarette.
As the smoke from the medicine cigarette entered his body, he who was originally extremely tired suddenly felt like he had been given a shot of chicken blood. His mind quickly sobered up. He was no longer as exhausted as before, but became more energetic.
Then he directly reached out to grab the cigarette and continued to smoke it fiercely. While blowing out the smoke, he said, "Yes, this tastes much better than those old dry cigarettes."
"Don't inhale so fast, just the right amount is fine." Gu Chan said with a smile.
After hearing this, Lao Bai took another puff and then returned the remaining half of the cigarette to Gu Chan.
Gu Chan put out the cigarette butt, put the remaining half of the cigarette into the bag, and then asked, "How about it, do you want to continue counting?"
"Just tell me! How long is the hypotenuse? I'm too lazy to argue with you anymore." Lao Bai said with a straight face, pretending to be unhappy.
Gu Chan didn't waste any time, picked up a pen and wrote down the calculation process clearly on the floor, arriving at the final calculation result of five.
Lao Bai was dumbfounded when he saw such a delicate calculation process on the ground.
For so many years, he had always thought that he was so knowledgeable that no one in the world could match him, but now he understood what it means to be a man outside the world.
There is no doubt that Gu Chan's calculation process for this question has already surpassed the arithmetic knowledge of this ancient world, and he can't help but admire him!
