Chapter 623
He said: "Then I'll start. Do you need paper and pen to record?"
"No need." Julius said immediately.
"Okay." Dak nodded, "First question, listen up."
Reedus and Julius immediately concentrated on listening.
The surrounding sounds dropped unconsciously. People on the second floor of the tavern had already noticed the dispute here, and many people were secretly listening.
Some good people have even taken out pen and paper, ready to write down the questions raised by the noble young master.
Duck turned his eyes and said: "Assume n is an integer, and the product of n X's is recorded as x^n. Then, when n>2, x^n+y^n=z^n, is there a positive integer? Solution? If so, how to prove it? If not, how to prove it?
"Wait, what is the nth time of x?" Julius frowned subconsciously.
Duck then said slowly: "A definition of power needs to be involved here..."
Chapter 491 Dakdi convinces people with reason (4k)
Give a new definition, and then give an unsolved puzzle about that definition.
Dark Dimon's behavior is undoubtedly a hooligan act.
But he didn't notice the problem at all.
After Duck explained the definition of power clearly in an understatement, the old couple couldn't help but look at each other, and then firmly remembered the definition in their hearts.
This kind of definition that simplifies calculation is not uncommon, but looking at Dark Dimon, it seems to be one of the basic definitions of an entire computing system.
"A definition like this that has never been seen before is actually a complete set. Could it be the unique calculation method taught by St. Marian College?"
While Aaron Reeds was thinking quickly in his mind, he unconsciously asked: "I roughly understand your question, but is there any point in studying this kind of problem?"
"Meaning?" Dak leaned back, turned his fingers on the magic book, and said very bluntly, "I'm making things difficult for you!"
Aaron Reeds' tone suddenly paused.
Dak seemed to think this was not good, so he added, "How about another word, test?"
…
In short, whether it is making things difficult or testing, since you are asking for something from others, you can only accept it.
After Aaron Reedus and Aviva Julius wrote down Dak's first question, they asked: "What is the second question?"
Duck grinned and said, "This second question is still a half-answered proof question. I hope you can help me verify it."
"How do you say it?" Reedus cheered up.
Duck said: "We all know that the so-called even number refers to an integer that can be divided evenly by 2. The so-called prime number refers to a number greater than 1 that cannot be divided by other natural numbers except 1 and itself.
So, can any even number not less than 4 be written as the sum of two prime numbers? For example, 4=2+2; 6=3+3; 8=3+5…”
Aaron Reeds couldn't help but frown: "The answer to this question should be yes."
Duck then asked: "Then how to prove it?"
"This..." Aaron Reeds couldn't help but look at Aviva Julius beside him, but the latter also kept silent at this time.
Dark curled his lips and said: "Then let's do it. When you can figure out the answer, write down the proof process and send it to the Duke's Mansion. As soon as I receive the answer, I will have Ignatz ?Cooper let it out.”
Well, if he's still alive.
…
Dak really didn't know the current situation of Ignaz Cooper, otherwise he would have thrown him out for any reason.
Keeping it anyway is a waste of food.
After finishing speaking, he stood up and returned to the dining table, leisurely waiting for the formal lunch.
Aaron Reedus and Aviva Julia left quickly after sitting there for a while.
They need a quiet place to work on their puzzles!
The two difficult questions asked by Duck Dimon are actually proof questions.
The first proof question was because they were exposed to the concept of "power" for the first time, so they did not understand the significance of that proof question.
But the second proof question...if it can prove the correctness of that inference, it will undoubtedly be of great significance.
Even if it wasn't to rescue Ignaz Cooper, even if it was just to solve a problem, they would still do it.
Only now, it's a little more urgent.
…
"Finally dismissed."
Dak glanced at the backs of the two people as they left and couldn't help but shake his head.
At this time, Trina suddenly raised her hand and scratched her neck, asking: "Master, why don't you just let me take action?"
Dak took a sip of tea and said gently: "Trina, times have changed. In times of war, we convince others with strength. In times of peace, we must learn to convince others with reason. Look, those two gods of knowledge Aren’t the elders who teach you very reasonable?”
Trina was silent for a moment and asked, "What about Ignaz Cooper?"
Dak smiled slightly: "Go back and take a look. If he is still alive, he will be locked up for another two months. I will release him when school starts."
Trina thought: "I understand."
"Just understand."
Duck drank all the tea in his mouth and turned his eyes to the window.
…
The Eugenie business circle outside the window is still busy with traffic, and it has not stopped because of the arrival of lunch time.
Busy people are like the gears of a huge machine, constantly turning, pushing the entire era forward.
…
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
After Dak had eaten and drunk his fill, he continued to listen to the adventurer's story in the tavern, listened to a bard's song, watched the fight caused by the adventurer's quarrel downstairs, and finally got back on the carriage and drove to the most prosperous area of the capital.
That was an area that even ordinary small nobles could hardly get involved in, and the dandy nobles did not dare to cause trouble easily.
There, if you happened to meet someone, it might be a prince or minister with a prominent status, an old noble with a deep background, and even the royal children often came and went.
Although the current king's heirs are only the eldest prince Charles, the eldest princess Eliza and the two little princesses, the royal blood is not just these.
Born noble, they would not run around in the civilian area without any scruples like a certain duke's son.
Their existence itself represents the face of the royal family.
Therefore, their living range is generally confined to the noble area, such as the area where the Star Tower is located.
The most frequently visited place is the Fanhua Garden, which is known as the "Royal Courtyard".
And Dak's destination this time is the high-end place inside the Fanhua Garden - "Hunting Mengling"!
Since receiving the VIP pass of "Hunting Mengling" on his birthday, Dak has often wanted to come and see it, but he didn't have the chance until today.
He is not interested in the luxury goods and high-end services in "Hunting Mengling". But...how to say it...it's the itchy feeling of having a ticket in hand but not being able to use it.
You have to go and see it, right?
So he finally came.
...
The three carriages passed unimpeded.
No matter how high the grade of Fanhua Garden is, it is not higher than the Duke's Mansion.
After confirming the look of the dragon trainer, the guard in charge of the guard quickly made way.
Although the little heads that popped out from the windows of the two carriages from time to time made them hesitate, they finally did not bite the bullet and ask.
However, one of the guards rode a white horse and followed the first carriage in the name of leading the way.
Soon after, the carriage stopped at the entrance garden of "Soul-bound Dreaming".
After Dak got off the carriage, he looked up slightly to observe.
Standing in front of him was an ancient castle, on which there was no text related to the name of the place.
If you didn't know it in advance, you probably wouldn't have thought that this would be a consumption place.
Most of the men and women who passed through the gate of the castle were accompanied by servants.
"Is this "Soul-bound Dreaming"?"
Diana jumped off the carriage and observed the castle with curiosity.
"It should be."
Dak smiled and said, "Come to think of it, this is my first time here too. I wonder if it can live up to its name and haunt me?"
Aurora followed closely and asked curiously, "I heard that a glass of water here costs 100 holy coins. Is that true?"
Dak blinked and said, "Is it so expensive? Maybe we should buy some drinks outside and bring them in."
"I..." Aurora subconsciously lowered her head, tugging at the hem of her skirt, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "I'll just tell you."
Dak laughed and turned to the magic elves who came down one after another and said, "After you go in, Don't run around, okay?"
"I know." The vampire daughter came over with a hop, and said with longing, "When can I own such a castle?"
Dak glanced at her and said casually, "When you become a magician, you can make enough money."
The vampire daughter's eyes lit up: "Then when can I become a magician!"
Dak looked at her innocent face and couldn't help laughing: "Six years later."
"Six years later, that's too late, right?" The vampire daughter pouted immediately, and the spirit that had just been lifted up fell again.
But she quickly threw away those thoughts and said happily: "I am Dak's magic elf. As long as Dak has it, I have it! So Dak, do we have a castle?"
Dak thought for a while and said: "Yes, but it is not in the capital. Our Dimon family moved to the capital later. There was a castle in the original territory. Now it should be managed by an uncle."
The eyes of the vampire daughter became brighter and brighter: "Then when are we going to see it? The vampire princesses in the story all have castles. I can't fall behind."
Dak's eyes drifted away: "In fact, I haven't been there either. Maybe we can go and see it next year. But this year, time is running out."
"Next year..." The vampire daughter couldn't help but look forward to it.
And Dak took the lead and walked towards the castle gate.
The three maids and a group of magic elves immediately followed.
Such a group of people walking in front of the mighty will naturally attract attention.
Among the maids standing in two rows at the castle gate, an intellectual maid in her twenties walked out quickly and greeted them.
Although it was the first time for Dake and the others to come here, the carriage of the Duke's Mansion was the best pass.
Even if Dake did not have the highest-level membership pass, they would still entertain him warmly - at most, they would make a new pass temporarily.
However, Dake did not mean to embarrass them, and he took out the membership pass and shook it at the beginning.
The maid immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked enthusiastically: "Is this young master here for the first time?"
Dak said frankly: "It's my first time. Is there anything special about this place?"
The waitress said: "You can call me Jessica. If possible, I will accompany the young master and explain the facilities and services of the club in detail to the young master."
"Miss Jessica, my name is Dak Dimon." Dak showed a gentleman's smile and extended his hand to her.
Jessica bent down slightly, and the lace on her collar made her skin look smooth and tender.
After shaking hands with Dak very respectfully, she said: "Master Dimon's membership card is the highest level. Not only does it have no restrictions on access, but it also has a free quota of one million holy coins per month."
"Ten thousand cups of boiled water?" Dak was happy.
Jessica's mouth twitched, and the intellectuality on her face was almost unbearable.
Dak smiled slightly: "Don't be too restrained, we are here to play, not to investigate. You lead the way."
Jessica nodded quickly: "Okay, young master!"
