Chapter 369: Reality and Truth

Euclid said seriously: "What do you mean it's too wasteful to use it? You're insulting geometry! Geometry is a great philosophy and the foundation of magic. Even if you don't use it, even if it's just conceived in your mind, it has irreplaceable meaning and value. .Practical? It's an insult to geometry. We can only explore the deeper truths if we get rid of the narrow thinking of "pragmatism"! If we judge purely based on practicality and senses, we will be bound by the so-called practicality in front of us, like walking in the dark. ! We need a light like truth to guide our sight! The logic should be rearranged."

Su Ye is helpless. This is a kind of extraordinary thinking of the ancient Greek philosophers. They believe that the real world that the eyes can see is not important, but the world of truth touched by the mind is more important.

In their view, everything in reality is trivial and trivial, and only the truth world of ideas and theories is eternal.

In the eyes of those masters, the reality in front of them cannot change the truths of ideas and theories, but the truth can easily determine reality.

In the eyes of Greek philosophers, geometry had nothing to do with mathematics. Even the Pythagoreans who said "everything is number" regarded mathematics as a part of philosophy.

Philosophers and magicians only have magic and philosophy in their eyes, and the others are all branches of philosophy and magic, so they don't need to pay too much attention to them.

The value of this kind of thinking is very counter-intuitive and anti-experience, and it feels completely wrong, but Su ye knows that this is one of the important reasons for the transcendent development of human beings.

"Teacher, you are so right. Don't violate the correct logic. You should use truth to govern common sense, and don't use common sense to govern truth. Truth can explain everything, but common sense is just an example of truth and can never replace or be equal to truth. For example, geometry is The truth is the great use of the useless!" Su Ye said.

Euclid's eyes lit up, he resumed his smile, nodded and said: "Okay, very good! I like the idea that uselessness is great! It really is an excellent member."

After finishing speaking, Euclid carefully wrote it down in the magic book.

Su Ye coughed lightly, and said, "I mean, you can play some small games to exercise your mind in your spare time, for example, design a beautiful toothbrush that conforms to geometry, so that others can understand the beauty of geometry, and at the same time, You also get some money to continue working on geometry, and it's a virtuous cycle."

Euclid thought for a few seconds, and said: "I don't care whether others can understand the beauty of geometry, but if it only takes a little time, I can continue to study geometry, I am willing to do it. However, I will give the best plan, and then go to Archimedes, he likes to do this kind of thing. Hmph!"

Euclid made no secret of his dissatisfaction with Archimedes.

Su ye was about to speak,

Euclid continued: "Don't make the same mistakes as Archimedes. He over-analyzed the real world in front of him, and then reversely pursued the truth. This method is not wrong, but may mislead us. Of course, Archimedes Mead is very clear that he is only pursuing the truth, and everything in the real world is just a means, but others may not be able to distinguish the order. Most people only think that Archimedes discovered technology through reality, and then discovered truth from technology In fact, it was Archimedes who had the thinking of pursuing truth, and his attention to reality was just a means, not the ultimate goal.”

"Teacher, you are right. I must have this kind of positive sequence logic thinking." Su Ye said.

"Positive sequence logic? Good." Euclid wrote it down carefully again.

The other soldiers only felt pain in their foreheads. Is this the daily life of a magician? Rinsing your mouth and washing your face can extend such a profound truth?

Only Castor and Commodes listened carefully and thought carefully.

Although do not understand.

Not long after, two Spartan soldiers carried back the black wooden barrel.

Su ye saw that it was barley porridge mixed with other coarse grains and a little bit of bacon, with light green olive oil floating on it.

Several Spartan warriors frowned slightly. Although they had never eaten this kind of barley porridge before, this porridge was too watery, and it was not enough to sustain a high-intensity battle.

"This food is too little. Everyone eat the food I store, but try to save as much as possible. After all, I don't have much." Suye said, and took out some meat, including ham, bacon, and fish.

The soldiers' eyes lit up, each took enough meat, and started to eat.

After eating, Su ye and others walked out of the small courtyard with closed doors and looked around.

Temporary tents are everywhere in the open space, and some are magical earthen houses built by golden magicians using magic, which can be used for more than ten days.

Compared with the Spartan warriors, most of them had older armor, less healthy complexion, and lackluster eyes, but they were not desperate, they just seemed to be indifferent to everything in front of them.

The whole fortress was in a mess, some people were still snoring and drinking porridge, some people were slowly peeling the air-dried meat they brought with them, some people started to practice combat skills, some people sat quietly, and some young people People were excited, talking about the upcoming battle.

The older fighters looked at the younger fighters with complicated eyes.

Everything seems to repeat itself.

Not long after, a herald came over and respectfully handed Su ye a wax plate and a bronze dagger.

After thanking Su ye, he took the wax board and read it.

It turned out that this was an appointment order personally issued by General Mitiade, the commander of the legendary fighter coalition, allowing Su ye to lead the Spartan fighters to play by ear without violating higher-level military orders. After that, various codes, the sequence of each army, and the list of commanders were added.

Su ye put away the wax board and waited quietly.

I saw many heralds going to and from various places, issuing orders continuously, orderly in chaos.

Around eight o'clock in the morning, the fort was illuminated by the sun.

The houses in the fortress were still dark, the ground was still muddy, and the soldiers were still covered in stains.

However, there seems to be a glimmer of life in the world.

Su ye led thirty Spartan soldiers and Euclid out of the north city gate.

The morning sun melts the mist in the distance, the salty sea breeze blows slowly from the east, and the distant sky is lined with blue.

On the edge of that blue, the camp of the Persians crawled on the shore like a black magic bull.

Teams of neat or disordered Persian soldiers are slowly coming out of the camp, looking from a distance, they look like moving black fields.

Su ye blinked, and saw flying snakes flying leisurely in the Persian camp. Those flying snakes had black four wings and were red all over. When they breathed, thin flames came out of their noses.

Each flying snake is seven or eight meters long and as thick as a human waist.

Those Flying Snakes with bloodlines of Angry Snake and Fire Dragon formed the ace army Angry Snake Legion.

In the big camp, many Persian magicians are meditating, and magic lamps are suspended in the air, swallowing magic power.

Su ye carefully looked at the teams that kept pouring out of the Persian camp.

Exactly as the book said, a large number of soldiers seemed to have just walked out of the farmland, with yellow and thin faces, legs and feet covered with mud and dust, wearing tattered clothes, and holding rough spears.

Some of the spears were not even sharpened, with thin wooden thorns standing on them.

I thought they would all be listless, but unexpectedly, there was a fierce light in each of their eyes, and even a trace of contempt.

Su ye was thoughtful. Perhaps it was Persia that occupied Euboea Island. These soldiers were still immersed in their past victories and did not pay attention to the Greeks. At the same time, they must have been inspired. As long as they occupy Greece, they will definitely get generous rewards remuneration.

After a large number of light infantry came out, groups of brightly armored soldiers walked out.

These new soldiers are neatly equipped, most of them are wearing high-quality leather armor, with shields and spears, and a few of them are even like Spartan warriors, with shining throwing spears on their backs, and the reflective spearheads are like stars in the daytime.

A few of the soldiers even wore metal armor with better protection.

These are the main force and the regular army of Persia, which are directly under the king of Persia, commonly known as the king's army.

Behind the king's army, groups of warriors wearing dark red body armor walked out like human-shaped cans. On the left chest of each human-shaped can, there was a bright red scimitar logo engraved.

These undead troops stepped forward in unison, like puppets.

Su ye returned to his senses and looked at the soldiers on the Greek side.

The warriors on the Greek side are composed of people from many city-states, and they can be regarded as colorfully dressed. However, all Greek warriors, even the most sloppy and poorest-looking warriors, wear old leather armor.

Most of the fighters have metal armor, or metal breastplate, or metal arm armor, which is in sharp contrast to the Persian army on the opposite side.

Greek warriors did not have too many yellow and thin people, most of them were well-proportioned, and their average height was significantly higher than that of Persians.

After simple verification, Su ye led people into the central army, while Euclid was separated from everyone.

Su ye was standing in place, observing the situation of the Chinese army, while discussing with the experienced soldiers in the team.

Commodes and Castor didn't say a word, their battlefield experience was not as good as those ordinary Spartan soldiers.

Soon, the commander of the Chinese army, the herald of the senior general Lamarcus, approached Su Ye and gave some suggestions. He hoped that this Spartan team could help defend the Chinese army, and only allowed to leave the Chinese army during the pursuit. Go to the flank.

"Obviously, General Lamarcus doesn't like our team." Castor curled his lips.

"We don't care about other people's attitudes, we only need ourselves." Suye said.

"Should we contact those golden mages." Komodes said.

Su ye followed Comodes' gaze and looked at where Euclid was. He saw more than a dozen golden mages chatting and laughing with Euclid.

Those golden mages are all over forty years old, and there are even old mages with white beard and hair, who are kind to Euclid.

"No, Euclid will help us in secret. If we get too close to Euclid now, we will be noticed by those who care. Next, you will mainly protect me, and I will mainly use traps to delay the Persians." Su Ye said .

Time passed slowly.

In the Persian army, the heralds on horseback continued to issue orders, and the ranks of the king's army and the undead army gradually became orderly.

At the same time, the generals of the Greek left, center, and right began to use magic beards to vocalize.

The two sides lined up.
