Chapter 217: Like a Classroom
Seeing that the little immortal had changed the subject, it was natural for others to not insist on it.
"Senior Zu Chong, please try this, it's super good," Song Yingxing picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork for Zu Chongzhi, who fell in love with it as soon as he took a bite.
Sweet and sour.
Zu Chongzhi nodded in thanks and took a bite. His eyes lit up. "This is really good."
Maybe it’s because I’m old, I just love to eat sweet and fatty meat, and I can never get enough of them.
Wang Zhenyi also smiled and picked up some food for Xiao Liwu. They all drank a few glasses of wine.
"Senior Zu Chong, your mathematics is very good, and Senior Wang Zhenyi's mathematics is also very good. You can also exchange some ideas about mathematics, hehe," Li Wu said. Both of them are mathematicians.
However, Zu Chong’s predecessor was really amazing. At that time, he actually calculated the value of pi, and he calculated it accurately to seven decimal places.
At that time, Xiao Li Wu still found it a little unbelievable, and even couldn't believe it was true.
That's pi. It was calculated more than a thousand years ago?
And it is accurate to the last seven digits. Who would dare to believe this if I told them?
Of course, in addition to Zu Chong’s predecessors who calculated the value of pi, there were also other people who calculated it.
Many people have calculated the value of pi, such as Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Fan of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Hui of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, etc.
Zu Chongzhi and Wang Zhenyi looked at each other. Wang Zhenyi's face was full of excitement. She naturally knew about Zu Chongzhi's predecessor.
So Wang Zhenyi was naturally excited to be able to discuss astronomy or mathematics with him, and she also had a lot of questions she wanted to ask.
"Senior Zu Chong, I do have a few questions that I would like you to answer," Wang Zhenyi stood up and saluted him.
She was naturally delighted to receive guidance from a senior who was a recognized 'expert' at that.
"Younger Wang Zhenyi, there is no need to be so polite," Zu Chongzhi stood up from his seat, returned the greeting and asked her to sit down.
The two people began to communicate, and all the words they said were incomprehensible to Xiao Liwu.
Song Yingxing also joined the conversation. Xiao Liwu was confused. What were they talking about? She couldn't understand anything at all.
What stars, what values, what calculations, and so on.
Xiao Liwu felt slightly sleepy after listening to it, as if she was back in the math teacher's classroom. There was nothing she could understand, and it felt more difficult than the incomprehensible language.
Xiao Liwu thinks mathematics and calculations are too difficult.
Most of the people in front of the sky were confused and had no idea what they were discussing.
If some people don't understand, then there are naturally people who are interested and can understand.
They also started discussing it on the barrage.
Many people who are interested in astronomy and mathematics came forward. They loved the sky dome so much.
In the past, when they studied these things, few people discussed them. Today, let them ask all their doubts. With so many big guys here, I don’t believe that they can’t solve their doubts!!!
Zhang Heng, Liu Hong, Mei Wending and others all popped their heads out, and from time to time they lowered their heads to record things, nodding and smiling, saying, "So that's how it is," as if they had obtained some rare treasure.
The three of them had their own opinions and were chatting animatedly.
However, Li Wu did not disturb them. After all, when the big guys get together, they naturally want to talk about topics that interest them.
After chatting for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Li Wu silently ate his food and waited for them sleepily. Of course, he would sometimes be shocked and interested in what was being chatted about.
"Ahem, the little immortal seems to be falling asleep," Wang Zhenyi just noticed Xiao Li Wu. They were having such a great time chatting just now.
Zu Chongzhi and Song Yingxing also looked at the dazed little Li Wu and couldn't help laughing.
"No, I'm not going to sleep," Xiao Li Wu woke up immediately after hearing Wang Zhenyi's words, and hurriedly explained that she was not going to sleep and she was not sleepy at all.
It’s just, just now, just now, it was really a little bit, like she was in class, and the teacher was singing some lullaby, and she felt a little sleepy, but she didn’t want to sleep.
He kept his eyes open and didn't sleep at all.
Barrage
Li Qingzhao, Yi'an Jushi: I can testify to this. The little fairy was not sleeping just now. She was trying hard to keep her eyes open. Hahahaha.
Hahaha, those big words hurt Xiao Li Wu's eyes.
Empress Wu Zetian: It’s not the little immortal’s fault. After all, he is a child, and it’s normal for him to not be able to control himself.
Children don’t know when to go to bed, and they may fall asleep while eating.
That's not uncommon, so it's normal.
However, the comments were all laughter and people praising little Li Wu for being cute.
They had just been noticing the little fairy's sleepy look, her little head nodding, her eyes half-open, fearing that she would bump her head on the table. They felt a little worried and a little amused.
Of course, many of them are like little fairies, the kind that doze off while listening.
"Oh, you didn't fall asleep. If the little fairy said it was, it must be true. You ignored me just now, so don't blame me," Song Yingxing looked at Xiao Liwu with a smile in his eyes.
Xiao Li Wu shook his head and said, "Nothing strange, do you still want to discuss it?"
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads. "It's time to listen to the fairy, isn't it?"
After all, there are still two people's deeds that have not been told. Of course, they also want to discuss them, but they can't ignore the little immortal.
Xiao Li Wu nodded and said, "Just now we said that Senior Zu Chong was amazing. He calculated the value of pi and accurately calculated the last seven digits.
This is a very significant contribution to China and even to the whole world.
Moreover, later generations named this precise calculated value after your predecessor Zu Chongzhi's pi, or "Zu rate" for short.
The use of pi is very wide. It is used in the study of astronomy and calendar, and is used to make calculations.
Just thinking about it makes my head hurt, this must require good calculations and a smart brain," Xiao Li Wu sighed, feeling that the people who study these things are so amazing.
She studied it and said, forget it. If someone can't even figure out addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 100, forget about what these big guys can do.
"Little immortal, don't underestimate yourself. Maybe you are not interested in these things. If you are interested, you will find it very interesting," Wang Zhenyi said with a smile. Every time she breaks through and calculates something, she will feel a special sense of accomplishment.
Xiao Li Wu shook his head and said, "Maybe Senior Wang Zhenyi is right, hehe."
“What I admire most is that you, Zu Chong, have also made achievements in astronomy, so how did you guys see the five major planets in the sky?
And you calculated that Jupiter's orbit is less than twelve years?" This is what Xiao Li Wu couldn't understand the most.
This astronomy is amazing.
Especially in ancient times, there were no astronomical telescopes or other tools to look directly at the sky, so how did people see it with their naked eyes?
Where did you see it? I don’t understand it, and how did you calculate it?
Just thinking about it makes my brain go crazy.
