After many years, Berard, who wrote the third notebook, became a pure scholar studying the ancient civilization of northern Uffigan, so his third notebook was also the one with the strongest academic flavor. What Dorothy didn't expect was that this secret book was not just about the architecture of ancient Uffigan.
Through this third secret transmission, Dorothy saw that the old Berard seemed to have studied the ancient Uffizi architecture for half his life, and in his later years, he seemed to have a very deep understanding of the engineering of ancient Uffizi. After in-depth research, Berard in his old age became interested in another subject that supported engineering and conducted in-depth research, which was mathematics.
Yes, although the third secret note appears to be studying Guwufeijia's engineering, in fact, engineering is only a point of intersection. What is really studied in the third secret note is Guwufeijia's mathematics.
In Berard's records, he called the ancient Ufeija civilization the First Dynasty, and pointed out that the First Dynasty once had an extremely brilliant culture. These glories were not only reflected in the large number of magnificent ruins under the yellow sand, but also in the advanced engineering and even mathematics that enabled them to carry out such magnificent construction.
Yes, according to Berard's research, he found that the First Dynasty had a very high level of attainment in mathematics, even surpassing the Industrial Age.
In his research based on his years of experience, Berard discovered that the First Dynasty had a completely different mathematical system from the current one. This system was so profound that Berard could only interpret part of it. In the process of interpreting the mathematical system of the First Dynasty, he also found that this unique mathematical system was closely related to the beliefs of the First Dynasty. They called their mathematical system "holy numbers."
The religion of the First Dynasty was not fanatical or blind, but rather rational, logical, and rigorous. The First Dynasty worshipped "holy numbers" and believed that they were an important tool for operating and structuring the world. As long as one could fully understand the holy numbers, one would be able to deconstruct the world and analyze everything, even gods.
In the secret biography, Berard wrote that in the mythology of the First Dynasty, there is the origin of the sacred numbers. It is said that this is a gift given by the God Judge of Heaven to the ancestors of the First Dynasty. In the mythology of the First Dynasty, there is such a description.
"Our ancestors once lived in ignorance, eating raw meat and drinking blood, acting like wild beasts, until the light of the sky split open the turbidity.
"The Judge of Heaven used the sky as a curtain, lightning as a pen, and thunder as a voice to enlighten our ancestors. The lightning reflected in the sky was the first word.
"And the Holy Number is the first part of all texts that is taught. The first sound of thunder also means one of the Holy Numbers. All research on the Holy Numbers is also a prayer to the Judge of Heaven."
…
Sitting in her seat, Dorothy finished reading the third secret note and Berard's research on the mathematics of the First Dynasty. Then her face became silent. At this time, all kinds of thoughts were spinning rapidly in her mind. The content of this secret note really surprised her.
'The First Dynasty, the Judge of Heaven... It turns out that the ancient Ufeija civilization was called the First Dynasty, and this Judge of Heaven was the god they worshipped. This so-called Judge of Heaven was also mentioned in the secret biography of the mummy that cursed Neveu's family.
"From this point of view, this Judge of Heaven should be a god in the field of 'enlightenment'. According to the myth of the First Dynasty, the Judge of Heaven enlightened the ancestors of mankind with thunder and lightning. The first characters, numbers, and counting were all taught to mankind by the Judge of Heaven in the form of thunder and lightning on the sky. This Judge of Heaven is both the god of thunder, the god of enlightenment, and the god of mathematics. What else could he be but the god of 'enlightenment'?"
Dorothy thought to herself that, from what she saw now, this Judge of Heaven should be the god with whom she had the closest relationship, and he was also the first god of "Enlightenment" that she knew of. Dorothy had not expected to learn about it in the notes of the former tomb robber.
"The First Dynasty... should be from the First Century, which means that the Judge of Heaven is at least a god from the First Century, and is quite ancient. However, it is likely that he has fallen now. I wonder how he fell..."
Dorothy sighed as she looked at the secret book in her hand. Just as she was about to extract the spirituality from the secret book, she suddenly realized something and became troubled again, because it seemed that she could not extract the "stone" spirituality she needed from the secret book.
"Speaking of which... this third chapter can't be called a secret transmission of 'stone', right? Although the beginning of this book is about ancient Ufija architecture, from the perspective of engineering, all the subsequent chapters are about mathematics, or the ancient mathematics of the first dynasty many years ago. If the field of engineering can be regarded as 'stone', then mathematics is completely the field of 'enlightenment'. This third chapter is not a secret transmission of 'stone', but of 'enlightenment'..."
Looking at the secret biography in front of her, Dorothy thought with some distress in her heart that this secret biography seemed to be directly classified into the "Stone" secret biography by the classifier who did not read the full text carefully because the two previous works were "Stone" secret biography and this secret biography had some content about construction projects at the beginning. Its nature should be "Inception" secret biography. This time Dorothy bought the wrong book.
If Dorothy extracted spirituality from here, she would gain a lot of "Enlightenment" spirituality. However, what Dorothy lacked the least was "Enlightenment", so in her opinion, extracting spirituality this time would seem to be a great loss, so she was not in a hurry to extract it.
"Using this secret transmission to extract spirituality... It seems that it is not worth it... How about trying to exchange it for knowledge from another world? But what can this thing exchange for?"
Looking at the secret book in her hand, Dorothy was confused for a moment. Generally speaking, the knowledge she redeemed was related, and she knew what she could redeem from this secret book which contained mathematics and some Thor mythology. In the past, she had used the knowledge she had read in many libraries to redeem, but most of the knowledge she redeemed was useless.
"Tsk... mathematics... Thundergod mythology... what kind of knowledge can be obtained from this combination of secret teachings?"
Dorothy thought as she stroked her chin, and after a while an idea suddenly occurred to her.
"By the way, when I helped Xia Shu before, didn't I exchange the knowledge of that world? As for Shuhe Lei... isn't there a wonderful knowledge point over there? It would be great if I could exchange her knowledge for it. I just need the means to deal with those black merchants."
Dorothy tapped her palms and thought to herself. At this moment, she had the idea of exchanging knowledge in a targeted manner. She wanted to exchange a certain piece of knowledge in a purposeful way.
'If I want to redeem a certain piece of knowledge... I must increase the relevance of the knowledge I have with it. The current relevance may not be enough. I can add some more manually.'
Dorothy thought so, and then immediately took action, secretly adding content to the chips on her side in her mind.
The main content of Berard's third secret biography is the mathematical knowledge of the First Dynasty, and the secondary content is the myth of the god of thunder as the source of this mathematical knowledge and the engineering content that applies this knowledge.
What Dorothy had to do now was to learn the mathematical knowledge in it, and then try to use this mathematical knowledge to analyze her ability to control lightning. That is to say, she tried to understand from a mathematical perspective how to discharge lightning, and how to discharge lightning well and accurately. After a while, Dorothy summarized her experience of discharge ability from a mathematical perspective, and then added this experience to the original secret biography of Barrard, in order to make it a part of the application of mathematics in the First Dynasty. Then Dorothy specifically removed the engineering content that served as an introduction.
The secret transmission that Dorothy has sorted out and adapted in her mind is mainly a secret transmission of mathematical knowledge. In addition to mathematical knowledge, the secret transmission also contains knowledge of lightning discharge calculated by mathematical interpretation, as well as a small amount of Thunder God mythology.
"Mathematics, calculations, electric discharges... Okay, these elements should be enough. If I use this secret transmission as a bargaining chip, I should be able to exchange it for the knowledge I want.
'I also connected to that world during the previous exchange, so I should be able to exchange other knowledge from that world as well. With all the elements gathered, it shouldn't be wrong...
'There is no ten-draw, only one draw. Come on, draw a single draw and a miracle will happen!'
Just like drawing cards in a mobile game, Dorothy started redeeming new cards.
