Chapter 323 I Have Tolerated You for a Long Time!

Shang Meng heard people say that the world is colorful. The sky is made up of blue and white, the soil is brown, yellow and black, and the flowers include green, yellow, red, white and other colors.

She couldn't understand these colors, because in Shang Meng's eyes, the whole world was gray.

Her father spent all his limited wealth to treat her illness.

Whether it was the ghost scholars in the northern Crystal City, the secret recipes of the southern elves, or the secluded ancient heroic souls in Sanilo City, or even the potion doctors in the Yaocheng Temple, none of them could cure Shang Meng's eyes.

All doctors and scholars gave the same judgment: eye diseases will only become more and more serious with age, and there is no medicine to cure them.

Shang Meng was used to the grayness of the world, so she didn't feel sad.

She just saw that her family was getting poorer and poorer, eating less and less meat, and mending clothes. Her father's small business was getting harder and harder, and she wanted to do something for the family.

Shang Meng learned to read and write in the enlightenment school in Yancheng. She read a lot of books and parchment scrolls, and was admitted to the Engineering College at the age of fourteen.

She studied engineering because her father was switching to the construction business.

But when she entered school, Shang Meng found that engineering could not help small businessmen like her father, but mathematics was a magical subject.

The most famous mathematics lecturer in the college was the prophet Shi Bao. This thin and kind old man always patiently explained calculations to students and emphasized the importance of this knowledge in the future.

Shang Meng knew very well that she was by no means the smartest among the students studying mathematics.

The one who impressed her the most was a classmate named Jiu Jian.

Jiu Jian had a strong calculation ability and could always see the essence of calculations at a glance. He could easily tell the difference between different mathematical calculations and even cross-applications with other disciplines.

Geniuses learn mathematics quickly, but Shang Meng progressed slowly.

She was also hit so hard that she wanted to give up mathematics.

Mathematics is too difficult!

It is not something that ordinary people like me can learn.

She thought to herself that mathematics is probably like theology, and it must be a talent that only the chosen people can comprehend.

In the last class, Shang Meng took the initiative to find Teacher Shi Bao.

"Teacher, I don't want to learn mathematics anymore. Thank you for your help and answering my questions during this period."

The old prophet was surprised: "Why don't you want to learn? Is there a problem at home?"

"No, the money my father gave me is enough for tuition..."

After listening to her reasons, Shi Bao said with a smile: "So that's the case, that's not a problem at all."

"Shang Meng, do you know? All the knowledge mastered by the Yao clan is a poor imitation and description of the god Yao Shen above our heads and the world."

"We try to draw the appearance of the whole world with a pen, so we use theology to observe miracles, use language to understand oracles, and use medicine to understand us The weakness of the self, using history to record and compare the past of the Yao people, using engineering and geology to understand how the mountains collapsed and how the water flooded... Knowledge is just the result of our artificial classification. "

"Different knowledge represents pens of different colors. I believe that no matter which pen you choose, you are describing and imitating the same thing, which is the ultimate truth of this world."

The old prophet told her: "The same is true for mathematics. To learn mathematics, the calculation basis is of course important, but the most important thing is an indomitable heart. We are all climbers standing on the shoulders of our predecessors, and every step is important."

Shang Meng was skeptical.

Will there be results if you keep going forward regardless?

She was ready to grit her teeth and hold on.

Gradually, Shang Meng discovered that mathematics is very useful for businessmen. If you can set and calculate every business and get a result with controllable error, you can achieve an effect that is almost prophetic.

It's as magical as a spell!

Mathematics is so interesting!

Shang Meng learns very slowly, but she likes mathematics, so she doesn't feel bitter or tired.

However, her eyesight was getting worse and worse, just as the doctors said. Anything a little further away was blurry in her eyes, and there was gray fog everywhere.

But this helped Shang Meng learn mathematics.

She would not be attracted by the distant colors and gatherings described by her classmates, and could focus on the numbers and calculations on the paper.

Shang Meng was so involved in mathematics. After graduation, she stayed in school and became a mathematics lecturer. The salary was not much, but it was enough for a person to live a normal life.

At the age of 29, Shang Meng's life ushered in a big event and a small event.

The big event was that she found the equation.

The equation was an equation with unknown numbers based on the four operations of Teacher Shi Bao.

The unknown number was the answer to be calculated, which could also be the size in engineering, the dosage in medicine, the spell in theology, and the proportion in smelting and casting.

This unexpected result made Shang Meng a lifelong scholar of Baibao, and also received the attention and gift of Yao Shen.

She looked back and found that she had come a long way.

Shang Meng personally experienced what the teacher said.

——We are all climbers standing on the shoulders of our predecessors, and every step is important.

It doesn’t matter if you are not talented.

As long as you keep moving forward, every step is meaningful.

Even an ordinary person like me can make some contributions.

Apart from this big thing, she also encountered a small thing.

Shang Meng got married.

Her husband is an engineer named Sen Lu.

Men Lu specializes in engineering construction in wood and soil, and travels all year round. The two met because of a bridge project in Yancheng. Mori Lu participated in the on-site construction, while Shang Meng did mathematical calculations for it.

Shang Meng has poor eyesight, and Mori Lu has poor hearing.

"I drowned once when I was a child. When I recovered, my ears were not very useful."

Men Lu smiled as he spoke, and pointed to his ears: "But as long as you get close enough, you can still hear clearly. Miss Shang Meng, as long as you get close, you can see clearly, right?"

Shang Meng nodded.

Men Lu said seriously: "Then when you talk to me, can you please speak a little louder, and I will get closer to you. Please don't mind, and please help me keep this little secret."

"It doesn't matter."

Are Mori Lu's ears good?

Shang Meng is not sure.

Sometimes he doesn't respond to what Shang Meng says for a long time, and sometimes he is very sensitive when Shang Meng mutters.

Men Lu kept approaching her and finally proposed to Shang Meng.

"I will become blind before I get old." Shang Meng reminded the other party.

"It doesn't matter. I will also become deaf before I get old. Let's be each other's eyes and ears."

Sen Lu said with a smile.

Shang Meng married him without knowing what was going on.

Of course, this was just a small matter.

But one year later, another big thing happened.

A scholar from Baibao found Shang Meng and said, "Mr. Pasha brought Yalong here and said he wanted to compete with the brass furnace dragon."

"Yalong... Brass furnace dragon..."

Shang Meng was still immersed in an equation: "Me? What am I going to do?"

"Did you forget?"

The scholar said, "Miss Shang Meng, you are one of the designers of the new furnace dragon and the mathematical designer of this project. Lord Philosophy asked you to go and have a look. This is an important moment to test the results. You can't be absent."

New furnace dragon...

Shang Meng's mind finally reacted.

Oh, I almost forgot about this.

Just as she was hurriedly packing up her draft, the scholar kept urging her: "Don't pack it up, come back and do these, this is a historic moment! Come with me."

"Okay, okay..."

Shang Meng carried a bag and ran outside.

He almost bumped into Sen Lu who was holding a rose.

"Do you have anything else to do today?" Sen Lu looked a little surprised.

"Well, there is an experiment in Baibao."

"Is it very important?"

"It's very important."

"Then go ahead, I'll wait for you... But come back early, today is our first anniversary." Sen Lu smiled and handed her a box: "This is a gift I prepared for you. I have been preparing for this thing for almost five years."

"What is this?"

Sen Lu blinked: "Aren't you going to do an experiment? Go to Baibao, and then open it and use it."

The scholar kept urging in front.

"Then I'll go first!"

Shang Meng got into the steam carriage and arrived at the test site in Baibao.

At this time, the test site was surrounded by scholars, all wearing white coats, whispering to each other, and everyone's eyes were looking up into the sky.

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, two blurry giants appeared in the sky.

Shang Meng squinted her eyes and tried to see the appearance of Yalong.

But she was on the periphery of the crowd, not very tall, and her weak eyesight could only see a shadow.

At this time, she suddenly remembered the box.

What would be inside?

Shang Meng carefully opened the box and found a small piece of glass inside, which was framed by cowhide and tendons and turned into two round thin pieces.

There was a note inside.

——Put it on.

Put this thing on... How should I wear it? The two pieces of glass should correspond to... eyes?

Shang Meng put it on, and his eyes suddenly widened.

The originally blurry vision became extremely clear at this time, and the vision had never been so clear and bright as it is now.

The hair on the scholar's clothes in front, the brass handle on the steps in the distance, and the strong creature with long horns in the middle... the dragon with steam coming out of its body, wings spread out, and fierce eyes!

So this is what a dragon looks like.

Shang Meng excitedly used his eyes to capture everything in the distance.

At this time, the crowd made way.

The voice of the apostle Philus came from the front: "Then, let Miss Shang Meng introduce our new furnace dragon. She is the mathematical designer of the whole plan and the key to making the furnace dragon move."

Everyone looked over.

Shang Meng, who had a glass on her nose, saw the many eyes cast by the crowd for the first time, and her whole body tensed up.

"Miss Shang Meng, come."

Philus' voice was gentle, but the skull head smiled hideously, which made Shang Meng's feet a little weak.

She walked to the front tremblingly.

Facing her was the Dark Sun Dragon with a tall and strong dragon body and cold eyes.

Just facing the dragon's gaze, Shang Meng felt cold on his back and his fingers trembled.

She hoped that she could still not see clearly.

Shang Meng closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to stay calm.

Math, now is math time!

She opened her eyes and said: "... New furnace dragon, 12 meters long, weighing 24,000 stones, with more than 4,000 horsepower, can carry 3 Conqueror Purple Roses..."

The Dark Sun Dragon looked confused.

Philus coughed: "Miss Shang Wu, Mr. Pasha is not interested in these things, keep it simple."

Almost forgot.

Shang Mu looked at Yalong's body shape, held the glass slide with his fingers, and observed it carefully for a long time.

Then she said to the Dragon King: "Mr. Pasha, this dragon is too small. If it encounters the new furnace dragon... it will die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Wu felt a huge sense of oppression.

The eyes of the Dragon of the Dark Sun flashed with murderous intent and anger: "Very good, very good. Since you are so confident, let your toys and my Yalong move directly."

Shang Yi looked anxious: "That's not what I meant. It's just that the sub-dragon cannot beat the new furnace dragon based on its size, regardless of weight or strength..."

"enough!"

The Dragon King roared angrily and raised his claws: "I've tolerated you for a long time! Dragons are not the kind of things you make that lie on the ground!"

"Since Yalong can't do it, then follow the rules of the dragon clan! Let's have a fight with the dragon blood ceremony!"
