Language P was named according to the customs of Earth. As for the "P", it was just the "P" in "program". It had no other meaning, and it could be distinguished from the famous programming languages of Earth. Lin didn't want to name something that would make him misunderstand or miss.
As for that evil I. Kiel Pricing, Lin watched as the receptionist's face turned from red to white. It was the kind of white that was deathly pale. He hurriedly explained, "This pricing is only the price of digital documents on the forum or in the mail. If someone wants to get a paper document, of course, they have to include the materials and the cost of copying. The pricing of this part is decided by the association. "
After hearing the explanation, the receptionist let out a sigh of relief. With the prosperity of the forum, the work of copying clerks was reduced a lot. Although it wasn't completely reduced to nothing, there were more requirements for each copy of a book. For example, the paper, materials, binding methods and techniques, the clarity and elegance of the words, and even the number of typos in the words, almost every book was treated as a work of art.
For the group of people who were really capable and could work hard, of course, the remuneration was increased a lot. But for those who could only make up the numbers and could only copy words that were barely recognizable, they had to find another way.
And those who could stay in the south tower belonged to the former. But if they wanted to copy the knowledge provided by Lin with a high standard, the "I Kiel" of Language P would probably only be enough to pay for the preface. The rest of the work would be for free.
Fortunately, that terrible situation wouldn't happen. He also wanted to send this pestilence mage away as soon as possible. They both loved and hated the inventor of the forum. They loved that there was such a convenient invention that was born in their era, and they hated that the work they relied on for a living had become much more difficult.
After completing the formalities, Lin brought Hallumi back to his residence. Because according to Master Wizard Grimwin, the president and other higher-ups were quite busy during this period of time. Because the Cartier district branch, which had fallen into a power vacuum, was like a big cake, the other three district branches in the southwest peninsula all wanted a piece of it. The consensus reached by the three presidents was that they would not attack each other. Who could snatch more or less depended on one's ability.
Perhaps the only ones who suffered losses were the Koos family, who led the summoning of the demons, and the people related to the former president, Gregory Otto. The Lost Lands did not have much sympathy for traitors, believers of demons, and those who opened the Abyss. The only way to deal with them was to eliminate them completely. Everyone was probably afraid that if they left anyone behind, there might be a secret method that could be used to summon the demon again.
Before the academy's plan was launched, Master Wizard Grimwin sent over some good news. The knowledge had been handled in accordance with magic and was officially put on the shelves of the Sika branch. As for the venue for Lin Fan's first lecture, he also borrowed a small tavern.
Because there had never been a similar event before, no one knew what the scale of the participants would be. Lin didn't dare to belittle himself too much. In the end, he recreated the scene of the Bird's Nest concert on Earth with only eight people. In the end, they booked a small tavern in an alley for the entire night.
If there was really no one, the owner promised to drink until he vomited.
Although the tavern was not big and business was not very good, it was located in an alley in the core area of Wulian City. The wine and food they brewed were quite delicious. It was a place that only the foodies in the underground knew. The owner was an old magician, Lois, who was an old acquaintance of the Master Wizard Grimwin.
When they were young, the two had traveled together and could be considered as part of Grimwin's guide. Because of this relationship, they were able to borrow the venue for the next night.
Lin met with the old magician and paid for the rental of the venue and the cost of the drinks. He also roughly told him what he was going to do and what he was going to talk about. Of course, he also gave him a mathematics book as a greeting gift. However, the old magician Lois could only keep the gold coins and put the book that Kaya carefully copied on the side.
Lin Fan did not care about this. Since the gift was given, it was the other party's business how to use it. They would only feel that the book was wasted. He would also feel apologetic for being so careless as to send a gift at an inappropriate time.
All in all, everything was settled. Lin Fan also began to prepare for his first lecture. Speaking of which, when he was on Earth, it was a very common thing to report to a teacher. But after coming to the Maze Land, there was no such opportunity. Of course, this world did not encourage such behavior. This was also one of the reasons.
Because in his mathematics book, in order to not make it too bloated, he only kept the theory and calculation examples. But it was not enough for a lecture. At least, it would take more than two hours for simple arithmetic and algebra. Did he really treat everyone as kindergarten children? He had to coax and explain while being afraid that someone would cry or make a scene.
Therefore, Lin thought of some practical examples. When the time came, he could explain it in a way that was closer to life.
In terms of mathematics, Lin Fan had thought that in order to cooperate with the Maze Land, the eight-bit program based on the eight powers should be taught directly in the octal system. But in the end, he gave up on this idea and used the traditional decimal system as the foundation of mathematics. It could not be helped. After all, the decimal system had a natural advantage.
All of the homo sapiens in the Maze Land, whether it was humans, elves, dwarves, goblins, orcs, orcs, etc., had one thing in common: they all had two hands, and each hand had five fingers. Who didn't start learning mathematics by counting fingers? This natural advantage could not be ignored.
Numerals were also removed from the original form of the Maze Land. Arabic numerals that were easy to write and distinguish were introduced, and most importantly, '0'. In the original numerals in the Maze Land, there was no '0', not even the concept of '0'. Just like what Fen said when he first encountered mathematics, "No is no, what is' 0 '?"
But after using the decimal system with 0, the Lich never said anything like 'no is no'.
Zero was also a very important concept in programming. At least the basic programming language designed by Lin Fan did not have Boolean values, which were TRUE and FALSE. Instead, it used the concept of '0' and 'non-0'. There were pros and cons in doing this. In the language modified by Fen, the design of Boolean values was introduced. But the version that would be released in the future would still use the original method of '0' and 'non-0'.
These important concepts had to be clearly conveyed to everyone in the two-hour lecture. … Or maybe no one would listen at all.
But the necessary preparations still had to be made. Marco Lin was not a talent who was good at improvising. If he did not want to make a fool of himself, he had to think about all aspects first. In addition, although he had experience, that was more than ten years ago. Besides, if he did not speak well on Earth, he would at most be given a soda. In the Maze Land … Lin Fan could not guarantee that he would not be killed directly.
After doing what needed to be done, the relevant knowledge and books began to be provided by the Association. In addition to announcing that he was going to give a lecture on the forum, he also gave the time and place, and the syllabus that would be given at the same time every week in the future. He also made a special trip to the North Tower.
The North Tower dealt with the affairs of the sorcerers. It was also responsible for the work of the sorcerers. It was similar to the counter of human resources. And these tasks were not limited to sorcerers. Some of the tasks were suitable for apprentices. But if the job was accepted and failed, it would leave a bad record. If there were too many such records, the Association would no longer agree to assign jobs to people who overestimated their abilities and did not have self-awareness.
But today, Marco Lin came not to find a suitable job for himself, but to borrow the bulletin board at the entrance of the North Tower. For example, in some cities or towns, when the Lord wanted to collect taxes, there would always be some high-sounding words that had to be said first. This would usually be made into a notice, and a bulletin board would be set up in a conspicuous place to announce the news.
The most common thing that appeared was some kind of reward notice. As long as the person did not die, it was common for the reward notice to be hung until it turned yellow and was damaged.
There was also such an official bulletin board in Wulian City, which was at the entrance of the North Tower. It was not all official information. For some jobs that were in urgent need of manpower, employers would also pay more and pin their employment requirements in a conspicuous place on the bulletin board, hoping to speed up the process of finding manpower.
It was just that today, there was an extra notice on the bulletin board, but the content was not related to a job that made money. On the contrary, it was a job that required people to pay to participate … What the hell? A lecture?
This was the first reaction of most mages and apprentices who came here at first sight.
However, when they read the content carefully, their minds were restless. A series of the most basic knowledge about the powerful mysteries of the Tower of the Great Sage would be revealed one by one in the following public lecture. The admission fee was one kilo (one gold coin), paid on the spot, regardless of the identity of the person who came. And this one kilo was only the fee for the first lecture. If one wanted to participate in the future, there would be a separate fee.
This kind of behavior of charging for a lecture was still somewhat puzzling to everyone. After all, it was normal to seek knowledge in the Lost Lands. It was better to find a fixed teacher and learn from the beginning to the end. Unless the teacher died on the way or had to leave for other reasons, most students would not go to another teacher.
And when a mage finished his apprenticeship, he would leave the status of an apprentice and become an official mage. Usually, at this time, there would no longer be any apprenticeship, but it was called an exchange. Of course, there would be no such thing as listening to a lecture. It would feel too degrading. But the content of the lecture …
It was said that the relevant knowledge had been made public by the Association, and most people wanted to buy it first to learn by themselves. After becoming an official mage, they did not want to listen to a lecture like an apprentice.
