The president's subordinates also understood this, so as long as it didn't harm their own interests, most of them would follow the old man's wishes. For Cupwood, it wasn't that his interests were harmed, but it wasn't maximized. But if what Lin described could be established, there was still room for profit to be distributed.
He took a deep breath, feeling that he had already fulfilled his mission. Grimwin clinked glasses with Lin in satisfaction and drank a few more mouthfuls of wine. Generally speaking, in order to keep his mind clear, he rarely touched alcohol. After all, the environment he grew up in didn't allow him to relax at all.
But today's matter was very promising, and he was happy to facilitate it. As a supervisor who had joined at a young age, he had seen too many young apprentices who had learned a little bit of magic but had no chance of making any progress. Some of them had perished, while others had taken the wrong path. With such a channel to nurture and manage these people, he was happy to see it happen. Just like what Charlie Richard had done in the past, he admired him for it.
Time passed quickly, and the chatter between the women in the next room finally ended. The two men were finally freed from the chore of finding a topic to talk about. Grimwin's wife was still smiling like a spring breeze. The servants behind her were holding a small wooden box and a glass jar wrapped in a silk towel. It was a set of siphon pots and about 200 grams of coffee beans.
This noble lady who rarely appeared in front of others had visited several times in a row. Of course, it was for the things in her servants' hands. As early as the first time they met, Fen had promised to give her a set of siphon pots and some coffee beans. It was just that the pots had to be specially custom-made, and it wasn't until yesterday that they got a new set. The coffee was taken by this group of gossipy women as a favour.
Because he owed Grimwin a lot of favours, Lin didn't object. His wife had visited several times in order to learn how to brew from Kaya. It could be said that this time, both the guest and the host were happy, which could be said to be the best result.
After sending off the guests, Lin called the two girls and sorted out the things he mentioned to Master Wizard Grimwin. Fen's comparison of ancient and modern magic was actually just a few thin pieces of paper, and there wasn't much content. This was not to say that Fen only had a little bit of insight, but that was all she could think of at the moment. Furthermore, she did not give away everything she remembered.
Lin Yi agreed with this point. Just like squeezing toothpaste, he should only give a little bit of information each time and not write down everything he thought of. The most important thing was that the nature of the knowledge that the two of them wanted to provide was not the same. In order to prevent the students from having too many questions and pestering someone to answer, Lin Feng would rather give them all at once. This saved him a lot of trouble.
However, in Fen's situation, the knowledge of comparing ancient and modern magic was one of the conditions that they had agreed upon back then. Releasing everything at once, was he tired of living? Although Lin didn't think that those people would get rid of Fen after she had outlived her usefulness, it wasn't a matter of whether they dared to do so. It was a matter of whether they could do it. But why give others an excuse to make a move?
Lin, on the other hand, organized the knowledge he planned to teach into some introductory books, mainly including mathematics and programming languages. The former only had four simple operations and two major categories, algebra. Because it was necessary to write a program to control the flow of the program, if one did not even know the most basic four operations, they would be at a loss.
The first step of the programming language was, of course, the classic "Hello World." Then, it was the most basic variables, types, operators, flow control, and then arrays, strings, IO, and exception handling. The maze version of the programming language that Lin and Fen had developed together could only be grasped about these things.
Finally, after a simple explanation of the relationship between magic and the maze version of the programming language, the basics of the program would be taught. As for whether or not the others could understand, whether or not they could participate in the development of large-scale projects, such as the server programs that had already been announced, Lin Feng didn't care about these things.
He believed that the wisdom of the natives of the maze would not lose to that of the people from Earth. The only thing they lacked was knowledge. As long as they were given a way out, someone would definitely be able to rise to the top. It was like a certain Lich who was typing happily on the keyboard in the dining room. Now that she was typing out the program code, Lin Feng would not be able to understand some of the content if he didn't read it carefully.
To be honest, when it came to programming languages, the certain Lich had never seen the simple and excellent operating systems such as Windows, Android, and iOS. She was already far better than a certain transmigrator.
As for the detailed conversion process between magic and programming languages, it involved machine language and assembly language, which Lin Feng did not intend to talk about. This part was very abstract and unintuitive, and it was difficult to explain to a group of people who did not have the basic knowledge. Therefore, it was better to learn from the programming language developers on Earth and treat these basic things as commodities, and people who wanted to use them could just spend money to buy them.
As for fixing bugs and modifying the game, considering that there was no such job as a hacker in this world yet, and that more than half of the foundational work had already been done by Fen, Lin was merely laying down the foundation of the foundation before a certain lich was revived. Therefore, he had to respect Fen's ideas on how to use the programming language.
After the discussion, the two of them quickly reached a consensus. After the first version of the programming language was handed over, it was more likely that the subsequent changes would not be made public. Firstly, there were no hackers, so even if there were bugs, no one would maliciously use them, except for the two people in the discussion. Secondly, they were not even familiar with the basic things, so it was not a waste to give them something better.
Even the version of the programming language that Lin Feng intended to hand over was not Fen's current finished product. Instead, it was the previous versions that had been revised. Both of them agreed that the revised version already had complete basic functions, so they were ready to submit this version. As for the subsequent revisions, many of them were prepared according to Lin Feng's ideas, in preparation for the development of a graphical interface.
By the way, the VR glasses that Lin was using now were built using Fen's latest basic programming language. That was why the various windows and pages could appear in different positions in the field of vision.
A few days later, the Master Wizard Grimwin sent out a servant to convey that the Chairman wished to submit the knowledge content that he was going to hand over to the Association, which was the South Tower, which specialized in managing magic knowledge. He also explained that they were inclined to handle this knowledge with reference to magic, but the detailed evaluation would only be decided after looking at the content.
Fortunately, the relevant preparations had been launched a few days ago, so Lin Feng personally took Hallumi to the South Tower.
In winter, Wulian City was not too cold. It was also because, according to Lin's calculations, Wulian City was about the subtropical region in the northern hemisphere of Planet Maze. Generally speaking, the southwestern peninsula should be in the west-southwest direction. The real southern continent extended for a long distance, crossing the equator and going straight into the southern hemisphere.
Although the exact latitude and longitude had not been measured, according to some travel records, it was different from most of the Maze continents. After passing through the region of Eternal Summer, the southern continent was a place where summer and winter were reversed. This was a clear proof of that.
The staff in charge of reception seemed to have been informed of the relevant matters, so after Lin Feng stated his identity, he was invited into the reception room. Generally speaking, the reception room was only used when the identity of the visitor was above that of a Great Mage. However, it was normal to open the reception room to welcome some important people in person. Or for people like Lin, who did not have a high status but dealt with more sensitive matters, they would also do it in the reception room.
Hallumi untied the bundle that was hidden under her small shawl and carried on her back. Inside was the sealed wooden box that was specially used to store confidential information. However, because it was delivered personally, Lin Feng did not think that this thing was really that confidential, so he did not use magic to seal it.
Inside were a few small booklets that were tied up with ribbons and the corresponding Red Glory magic stones. The magic stones stored the digital information in the booklets. The comparison of ancient and modern magic that Fen provided was actually the one that Orange Eaton and the North Tower had seen.
Back then, handing it over could only be considered a personal action, so the president and the North Tower were very conscious and did not spread it widely. Now, it was just nice to use it for Fen.
The mathematics booklet was very thin because there was not much content, only four operations and algebra. Lin did not want to teach anything that was too profound. Besides, probably no one would be interested in it, because most people's goal was actually the programming language.
The reason why he had to teach mathematics was because it could be used in the programming, and it was also necessary to use it. Without the control of the flow and the various loops, it was really better to use the original way of casting magic without the need to program magic.
As for the "small" booklets that explained the programming, they were the kind that would give people a concussion if they were hit with the corners of the books one by one. That's right. No matter how much content was omitted, in order to explain it clearly to people who did not have any basic knowledge, the number of words was still frighteningly large. Thinking about the computer science books on Earth, which one of them was thin? It was so thick that it could be written into an encyclopedia.
Fortunately, he had written the transfer document of the Tower of the Great Sage before, and some of the materials in it could be used directly. Earlier, he had made some preparations to write it for the two girls as learning materials, which saved Lin some effort. Otherwise, if he had to write a new book, it would be impossible to finish it without a year and a half.
The clerk in charge of the reception carefully recorded the contents and the directory that Lin Feng submitted. Of course, he could not help but ask, "Mr. Cupwood, what price do you want to pay for these pieces of knowledge to other Mages?"
In order to show the nobility of knowledge, most people would not be so direct about the sale and sale of magic knowledge. Instead, they would choose a more euphemistic way of saying it. This was to avoid giving people the impression that they were too philistine or looked down on magic knowledge.
As for the clerk's question, of course, Lin had also discussed with Fen — mainly about the ancient magic that Fen provided — related questions. He said, "Comparison of Ancient and Modern Magic by the Great Mage Fen Ni, C Kiel (100 gold). And my mathematics, I Kiel (1 gold). P Language, I Kiel (1 gold). "
