Chapter 282 Spread
Late night in Xingzhou is quiet and warm.
Star Warlock Towers stand abruptly on the Xingzhou Plain. The buildings surrounding the Star Warlock Tower became a city.
The Star Warlock Tower is mostly bright and bright, while the city is half-dark.
Jiang Huang was quite emotional when he came to this city again.
The first time he came to Xingzhou, he took an airship provided by the Star Warlock Association; the second time he came, the airship was specially sent by the Star Warlock Association to pick him up; the third time, that is, now , but he was riding in his own private airship.
Even if Xingzhou produces the most airships, there are still very few star warlocks who can own personal airships. Jiang Huang has been sitting in the position of the Royal Star Warlock Association for a long time, and the huge financial resources he has accumulated are clearly revealed here.
It is precisely because of the accumulation of financial resources that he, a star warlock from other places, can still enjoy the treatment of a distinguished guest in Xingzhou. Especially when it came to using the special star formation, even though it cost him a lot of money, things went very smoothly.
Stretching out his arms and looking at the restored elasticity of his skin, Jiang Huang said with emotion: "It seems like a new life."
"I will surely hear from you again in Xingzhou soon." Accompanying him was the fourth-level Star Warlock Tai Ting, a member of the Xingzhou Star Warlock Committee, from a small country in the far west, with red hair and a He has a little belly, but because he is a foreign star warlock, he is much kinder than the local star warlocks in Xingzhou.
Xingzhou is a popular place for star warlocks, and what Tai Ting calls "hearing the news" naturally refers to Jiang Huang's re-entering the ranks of important people.
In the entire world, fourth-level star warlocks are not as rare as Daxia. Naturally, Jiang Huang hopes to return to the top. He smiled and replied: "For your good advice, when I go back this time, I will definitely not do it again." You waste your time on mundane things..."
He was in a good mood and was willing to chat with Tai Ting.
Tai Ting didn't have any hobbies, he just liked to talk. He couldn't get along with the low-level star warlocks on weekdays, and the high-level star warlocks would definitely want to chat with him. This time he caught Jiang Huang and gushed: "Warlock Guo Jingxing went to the university." Xia has not come back. In the past, when he was here, he would often tell us about Daxia. Within the scope of the Far East, Daxia is also quite outstanding. Unfortunately, in recent years, development has been slower..."
Jiang Huang was still looking at his arm, and at the same time he calculated pi in his mind - pi is a very effective way to test whether his IQ has recovered. There are no computers in Daxia, so we rely on star arrays and mental arithmetic to complete pi. Currently, we can only get 8 digits after the decimal point. Using the circle tangent method is complicated and troublesome, but it is suitable for testing mathematical skills.
There was no response, and Tai Ting didn't take it seriously. He continued: "When you return to Daxia, you should continue the study of calculus. This thing is really popular now, and the contribution points have increased a lot. I noticed that Daxia The overall increase in contribution points is increasing. Alas, I envy you. I also wanted a private airship when I was young, but now I have no idea. Or maybe in a few decades, I will go back to my hometown. Buy one too. I don’t know what the price of a Dawn-class airship was at that time. The research capabilities of today’s mechanical star warlocks are really not that good..."
Jiang Huang felt the joy of being 50 years younger and didn't want to sleep all night.
Tai Ting alternately spoke Xingzhou dialect and Xia Jing dialect, talking happily.
When the sky gradually got brighter, Tai Ting finally stopped and said with a smile: "I'll treat you to breakfast, let's have something to drink and talk again."
"The most famous thing in Xingzhou is the bacon sausage." Jiang Huang didn't feel dizzy after being up all night, and was in a very uplifting mood.
Taiting patted his left hand lightly, and the star formation shone brightly, and servants immediately came to serve him.
The servant is an old housekeeper in his 50s. He wears refreshing light-colored clothes and has tidied himself up. He looks very comfortable. He stands with his hands tied, waiting for Taiting's order.
"Bacon sausage, chicken and vegetable soup, wheat donuts, and some side dishes..." Taiting was talking about the common breakfast style in the far west, with not many varieties and enough calories.
The old butler poured water on the table, rang the bell and gave the order, and then said: "Master, do you want to deliver today's journal?"
"Bring over Algebra, Geometry, and Nature, and bring over the articles that have been read and cited the most in the past few days." Tai Ting said habitually. The most famous journals in Xingzhou are all old brands. Many journals are even so big that they split up and open supplements in other countries. On the one hand, it increases people's attention, but on the other hand, it does not reduce the impact factor of the journal itself.
Xingzhou does not have an impact factor, but their approaches are similar. When judging the quality of a journal, the number of citations of the entire journal this year is divided by the number of articles published in the journal in the past two years. Generally speaking, there are very few mathematics journals with an impact factor exceeding 2. If a professor in other fields publishes an article in a journal with an impact factor of 5.0 or 6.0, schools and research institutions can publicize it. The best journals in the 21st century have impact factors above 20, and every article in them will be a strong contender for various awards.
The journals of the Taiting Star Warlock Tower are placed in the adjacent room. The old housekeeper said neatly, "I'll be here soon," and then went to check the room over there. Every day, dedicated personnel will deliver the day's journals to the Star Warlock Tower, and then pass them to the top of the tower through the star array.
Astromancers live long lives, and stewards are passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, many of the servants of star warlocks are no less professional than those of aristocratic families.
The old butler moved skillfully. As soon as breakfast was served, he placed a stack of the latest journals on the right side of the dining table, which included the latest articles sent to Xingzhou for review and approval.
As a member of the committee, Taiting would consciously read some papers to avoid falling behind the times. However, as a fourth-level star warlock, there is nothing he must do in terms of work.
"Warlock Jiang Huangxing, come and try our thick soup. It won't taste good when it gets cold after a while." Tai Ting said this, and the light on his body flashed past, but he opened a star array to keep warm.
This is also where Xingzhou Star Warlocks are different from foreign Star Warlocks. They are less likely to encounter the needs of combat and war, do not pay enough attention to the preservation of star power, and often use star arrays in their daily lives.
Jiang Huang sat down with a smile. As soon as he put the spoon in the soup, he heard the sound of hunting outside.
"It's those old guys again." Tai Ting took it for granted and said apologetically: "Maybe it's the warlock Kong Weixing from the committee. They often come here to eat and drink."
As soon as he finished speaking, two star warlocks in their sixties rushed up from the other side of the star tower, bringing with them gusts of cold wind.
Warlock Jiang Huangxing put down the rarely used knife and fork and stood up in a friendly manner.
Taiting smiled and introduced him: "Kong Wei, Hui Renxing Warlock, this is Jiang Huangxing Warlock from Daxia. We are all fourth-level three-star warlocks, so it's better to get to know each other, Jiang Huangxing Warlock is just Coming soon..."
"The Star Warlock of Great Xia." Kong Wei said in a loud voice, "By coincidence, I saw another article about the Star Warlock of Great Xia today."
As the saying goes, astrology always comes up when astrology magicians meet each other.
Jiang Huang, an old Royal Star Warlock, said in a gentle manner: "Who is the lucky Star Warlock who can be seen in Xingzhou?"
"I can't remember the person's name clearly, but I can remember the name of the paper clearly, "Geometry of Continuous Indivisibles Promoted by New Methods". It's a masterpiece. It's simply a masterpiece." Kong Wei seems to be an astrologer with an exposed personality. , his face turned red as he yelled, as if he had drunk wine. If not for this, he and the Taiting Star Warlock would not be able to talk together.
Hearing the word "indivisible", Warlock Jiang Huangxing's brows jumped and asked: "Is there any article now?"
"There's nothing here in Taiting." Kong Wei naturally threw himself on the table and smashed the pile of journals into a mess.
"That's it. It's definitely the most read article in a single day. I heard it was published in a new journal called Science or something. Not to mention other things, this paper is definitely a masterpiece. Absolutely!" Kong Wei read the word "absolutely" three times, then pulled out a palm-thick journal from the table and threw it to Jiang Huang.
Warlock Jiang Huangxing didn't say anything and couldn't wait to open the white skin.
I saw the signature of the first article inside, with three words written in bold bold: Cheng Jinzhou!
Tai Ting came closer and started reading too. After reading one page, when he saw that Jiang Huang still didn't turn the page, he couldn't help but push him away and said, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, oh, it's nothing." Jiang Huang hurriedly opened the magazine. He was really shocked.
Although I don’t know who Kong Wei is, I think a fourth-level Star Warlock will not lie easily - where is Xingzhou? The most queried article in a single day will almost certainly get hundreds or thousands of contribution points. Star Warlock We are checking now, and when we figure it out, it will naturally be converted into quotes...
Cheng Jinzhou actually achieved this. Even if Jiang Huang admits his potential, it is still unimaginable now.
He was in a daze beside him, and three Xingzhou Star Warlocks had already started a lively discussion.
Kong Wei had the loudest voice, and Tai Ting talked endlessly, always having to be stopped before he could stop. Hui Minren is a very energetic, thin old man who seems to be always thinking.
"Warlock Jiang Huangxing used to study calculus..." After a while, Taiting's praise brought Jiang Huang back to reality.
Kong Wei laughed loudly and patted Jiang Huang on the shoulder and said: "After reading today's article, I know that I am a frog in the well. Xingzhou claims to be 50 years ahead of the world. Look now, when calculus first appeared, only Some small-scale star warlocks are doing research, but the committee doesn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, Daxia is actually in the lead again. The last time it was Gao Muen's star warlock."
"Ashamed, I have been studying for a long time, but my achievements are not high." Jiang Huang said with a smile on his face.
Hui Minren suddenly interjected: "Jiang Huangxing Warlock of Daxia, I remember who told me yesterday that there was a Daxia Star Warlock who used the special star formation for the second time, and he brought the cotton fruit with him?"
"Yes, I am." Jiang Huang admitted that this kind of thing cannot be hidden.
"You can actually buy cotton fruit in Daxia?" Hui Minren's eyes became weird.
Star Warlocks are all human beings, not to mention top level four Star Warlocks. What Jiang Huangxing Warlock can think of, other Star Warlocks can also think of.
Genius and Mian Suguo didn't just pop out of the cracks in the rocks. Several people couldn't help but focus on the signature of the paper.
Tai Ting had no city in mind and murmured: "Is it time to practice on the Holy Cliff again?"
