The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 214 How much is 1+1 equal to?
Ickert did not expect that a simple conversation would lead to the destruction of a school of magic.

He is not interested in who publishes the paper, because this is the result of giants.

Compared with the reputation of publishing this paper, the catastrophe implied by it is obviously more terrifying, which Windsor cannot bear.

And Benson said that he would hand over the inheritance of the Astronomical Tower to him. As long as he can handle it well, this will be a great thing for the territory.

With so many magicians joining, Windsor is not worried about technological advancement.

After thinking for a long time, Ickert finally decided to agree to Benson.

"However, if you want the members of the Astronomical Tower to survive as much as possible, neither you nor Veroson may have a good time."

"I know how to handle this matter, don't worry, I will handle it well."

Benson explained his plan to Ickert again, and after the two discussed it, Benson got up to say goodbye.

Walking to the gate of the castle, Benson saw Lani who had been guarding the hall all night, with dark circles around her eyes.

"Teacher, have you convinced him yet?"

Rani asked eagerly.

Benson looked at the young man in the astronomical tower. Like all young people who embarked on the road of magic, they longed for power and magic.

They believe in magic so much.

Benson knew very well that Lani must wish she had said "I won."

But it's a pity.

"I lost."

Benson said calmly, as if this was just an ordinary thing.

But these words undoubtedly cast a thunderbolt in Lani's heart.

"I lost", but the real meaning behind it was "magic lost".

The mood of the female mage visibly weakened.

"Then Master, have you found the truth?"

Rani asked again.

"What does truth look like?"

Benson smiled. At this time, the two had already walked to the river port of Windsor. Facing the rising sun, the distant ships were sailing towards the land of hope.

The sails fluttered.

What does truth look like?
Pointing to the boat on the inland river, he asked Lani:

"When you see a ship coming from afar, do you see the ship first, or the sail first?"

Ten days later, the city of sages.

On the top of the Obscure Moon Magic Tower, which represents the Astrology School, the sage Veroson is doing daily deduction.

Sages often think, what kind of complicated things are needed to realize the system that controls the world, and what kind of gods are needed to manage everything in the world in a well-regulated manner?
The top of the mage's tower is filled with calculation formulas and various assumptions, and traces of ink and chalk have covered every brick here.

For a long time, Veroson has been trying to explain the complex world explained by natural barriers and gods.

After spending his entire youth, he only settled on one research direction in the end.

That is computing.

Viroson believes that if a god wants to rely on this complex system to maintain the world, it must issue various constraints, and the reason why a god is a god is bound to issue accurate instructions on various rules.

Not so long ago, a simple experiment had inspired him.

Since the two objects will fall at the same speed, how fast is this speed?How to quantify and express this speed relationship?What factors are they affected by?
Viroson never figured it out all his life.

But he knew that there was a way in the world that could help him figure it out.

In this mage tower, there are eight magic lamps.

Veroson used a special character to represent the two states of a magic lamp.

Among them, the ones that are on are expressed as 1 by Virosen, and the ones that are off are expressed as 0.

Then, Veroson used the imperial letters as "representations", expressing the 32 imperial letters with different 0s and 1s.

But that's not the end.

What Viroson really wants to do is to refer to all Gaia runes with basic imperial words, so as to accurately express all Gaia runes through 0 and 1.

Then, use the new magic switch to control the dimming of these magic lamps with one key, so that through the combination of specific keys, the corresponding Gaia runes can be found, and then a complete magic language can be formed through the combination of runes.

Viroson firmly believes that this is the way the gods cast spells, and this method is so beautiful.

Gaia, the goddess of magic, uses a more complex and greater system to manage everything in the world!

Perhaps today, he can only refer to a part of the basic runes, but once this system reaches a certain level, spells can be chanted through the combination of letters, and with the use of enchantment and magic pool, it can be realized.
Fully automatic casting!
Even!everyone!Including magical miracles that ordinary people can use!
From the moment Veroson discovered this method, he felt as if he had found his way.

But the new problems that followed have troubled him like a nightmare for many years.

He found 0 and 1, but he didn't know how to use them to express calculations. He couldn't even express each number with a regular system, but could only use language to refer to it.

But anyone who has studied mathematics understands that this is not beautiful and does not conform to mathematics. There must be some way of expression that can connect 0 and 1 with all mathematical calculations.

Apart from this problem, Veroson can't even do simple addition now.

他可以知道1+1等于2，但却不能让眼前的机器知道1+1如何等于2。

What's worse, since he uses 0 and 1 as the underlying calculation logic, he doesn't even know what 1+1 is equal to!
"How much is 1+1?"

Veroson has been searching for an answer to this question like crazy for decades.

Everyone in the sage mage's tower heard him muttering, muttering, as if he was crazy.

When it was the worst, Master Veroson would even take to the streets, grab someone and ask them sharply:
"How much is 1+1?"

"1+1 is of course equal to 2!"

boom!
If he heard this answer, Veroson would hit the passerby with "Force Shock" on the spot.

"You lied to me! What if 1+1 equals 2?"

After doing this for a long time, everyone will only think that he is a lunatic, and he is crazy to study theories. It is better to practice more.

"This is why I want you to be careful. The state of the sage is very unstable. You must be prepared to be beaten."

In front of the door, Mrs. Deli, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, warned Benson and Lani so much.

"But I see that you brought 'Mad Dog Lani' over here. If that guy Verosen didn't go completely crazy, you should be able to escape."

After Mrs. Deli finished speaking, she used the key to open 15 magic locks in a row.

"Wish you guys good luck."

The door was open, and Mrs. Derry had vanished.

Benson probed into the door, and saw eight magic lamps flickering on and off, and the figure controlling them like a child turned his head towards the door at this moment.

"Ah! It's you! Old man Benson! I haven't seen you for so many years! I miss you so much!"

"By the way, you must have found the answer to your question after wandering outside for so long."

"Quick! Tell me! What exactly is 1+1!!!"
