Chapter 127

The Sky-sea Pavilion had an invitation-only membership system?

Was it like some high-class clubs on Earth?

In his previous life, although Shen Lang had been disfigured by sulfuric acid, he was still a great doctor and had saved many dignitaries and nobles.

One of them, a notorious tycoon, heard that Doctor Shen was still single at the age of forty. He was grateful and gave him a platinum membership card.

He said carefully, "Doctor Shen, there are not only girls but also boys."

Shen Lang was grateful and tied a knot in the man's vas deferens during the operation. Anyway, you are already in your fifties. Don't have illegitimate children all over the world.

…

Back to business.

Shen Lang said, "Wife, your martial arts are so high and your identity is so noble. You must be a member of the Sky-sea Pavilion."

Others might not understand the word "member", but Mulan did.

"Husband, you think too highly of me," Mulan said.

The Sky-sea Pavilion's status was super high and very noble.

It was a bit like the school in Game of Thrones and even more awesome than the Langya Pavilion in the Langya List.

Who wanted to be a member?

It had to be an academic guru, such as Mulan's teacher, Zhong Chuke.

Most people were not qualified at all.

Shen Lang looked at the old man in front of him and said, "Master, there is no problem with the invitation system. Do you have the right to invite?"

"Of course!" The old man said proudly. As one of the Sky-sea Pavilion's professors, he certainly had the right to invite.

Shen Lang said boldly, "Okay, then you can invite me now."

The master looked at Mulan and said, "Miss, is this your Husband?"

Mulan nodded shyly.

This Husband was sometimes very proud, but … most of the time, he was quite embarrassing.

The master said, "It's not easy to live until now without the strength to truss a chicken."

When others come to the Sky-sea Pavilion, they are very respectful and do not even dare to breathe loudly, as if they are here on a pilgrimage.

You, on the other hand, are as relaxed as visiting a brothel.

Shen Lang said, "Master, I heard that to become a member of the Sky-sea Pavilion, one must be a guru?"

Grandmaster said, "Not a member, a visitor."

Shen Lang said, "I also heard that Sky-sea Pavilion accepts any academic challenges. As long as you can solve any of your ultimate problems, no matter what discipline, you can become a guest of Sky-sea Pavilion?"

Guest of the pavilion?

You, you are not even a member?

Grandmaster had a lot of self-restraint, but now he felt that he also wanted to hit someone.

He couldn't help but look at Mulan again. How did you, my Husband, survive until now? It must be very hard for you to be a wife.

This gigolo is not worthy of you!

Before coming here, Shen Lang had indeed done his homework.

In the eyes of the world, the Horizon Sea Pavilion was a palace of martial arts.

But they didn't just have secret martial arts manuals, they also had all kinds of academic works.

Astronomy, geography, mathematics, music, and so on.

This was a true academic temple.

Master said, "That's right. Every once in a while, our Sky-sea Pavilion will release some difficult problems to the world. Anyone who can answer one question will be invited. "

This was equivalent to those super awesome academic organizations on Earth.

If your paper had not been published in Nature, Cell, or Science, you were not even qualified to knock on the door.

But there were still many geniuses in this world.

The Sky-sea Pavilion had released ten problems before, and now seven had been solved. Now there were only three left.

Of course, after these ten problems were solved, the Sky-sea Pavilion would release another ten problems.

These problems covered all kinds of disciplines, and only two or three belonged to martial arts.

The problems released by such a prestigious academic temple were naturally the world's ultimate problems.

If one wasn't a genius, they wouldn't even be able to understand it, let alone solve it.

Remember Xu Wenzhao?

He was considered a genius in arithmetic in Xuanwu City, but … he wasn't even qualified to look at these problems.

Master said, "Young Master, there are three problems left in the Sky-sea Pavilion's ten ultimate problems. No one has been able to solve them for a full three years. Are you sure you want to try?"

Shen Lang said, "Of course!"

"Five hundred gold coins!" Master said.

How could such an amazing academic hall require money for people to answer questions?

That's right, money.

It wasn't that the master was greedy, but the cost of maintaining the Sky-sea Pavilion was too high.

These professors were absolutely unwilling to accept any Monarch's money.

They didn't accept donations from officials or nobles.

But they were willing to accept donations from ordinary people.

Shen Lang waved his hand, and Mulan handed over a box of gold coins. There were exactly five hundred gold coins.

"Please follow me!" Master said.

Then, he led Shen Lang and Mulan to a small room at the side of the castle.

The room was empty, with only three chairs and two tables.

Master said, "Which ultimate problem would you like to solve? Now there are only three questions left: martial arts, astronomy, and philosophy. "

Master Lang had read too few secret martial arts manuals, and his database was not rich enough.

Philosophy was something that was too mysterious and abstruse.

So, the only question left is Astronomy?

However, this was not Earth. The universe here was different.

The astronomy problem in Shen Lang's brain was probably useless.

"Astronomy!"

Master's eyes showed a king's contempt, and he handed over a piece of paper.

This was one of the three remaining ultimate problems of the Sky-sea Pavilion.

There were only five words in this question.

How big was the sun?

Was this question difficult?

Was it awesome?

It was difficult to make one's hair stand on end.

It was absolutely insane.

No data was given, just asking how big the sun was and what its diameter was.

Once again, this was not Earth.

So the diameter of the sun in this world was very likely different from the one in our world.

At least, when Mulan saw this question, she was stunned.

She had always thought that she was very smart, but now she doubted her intelligence for the first time.

Almost everyone who saw this question would doubt their life.

Master said lightly, "If you can't solve it, don't waste time. Go back to where you came from."

With that, he got up to leave.

This question was very difficult, and even seemed to be completely unsolvable.

But for Shen Lang, it was extremely simple. He didn't even need to use his brain.

"Master, it will take at least three days to calculate this result."

When Shen Lang said this, he carefully stared at Master's face.

If he guessed correctly, just hearing this sentence from Shen Lang, Master would be shocked.

Master was indeed shocked.

This was the communication between the top of the wise.

As long as Shen Lang said this sentence, it basically meant that he had already solved it.

But Mulan continued to be confused.

She began to wonder if … she and her husband were not a good match.

Why couldn't she understand the conversation and expressions of these two men in front of her?

But she looked at herself in the mirror, and was instantly full of confidence.

For a rogue like Husband, there were probably these requirements for his wife.

Hips, breasts, waist, face, money …

As for intelligence, he probably didn't care very much.

Otherwise, why would he have so much fun with the Big Fool, Jin Mucong?

…

Next, Shen Lang found a hollow bamboo pole.

And took Mulan's sword.

He used the hollow bamboo pole to look at the sun. While looking, he used the sword to cut the bamboo.

Until the shadow of the sun in his field of vision completely filled the hollow diameter of the bamboo.

At this time, the length of the bamboo divided by the diameter was 85 times.

This meant that the distance between the sun and this world was 85 times the diameter of the sun.

Sure enough, it was different from Earth. On Earth, the number was 80.

Next, Shen Lang inserted the bamboo straight into the ground. At absolute noon, he measured the length of the bamboo's shadow in the sun and recorded it.

Then, Shen Lang said to the old man, "Master, do you still need me to continue?"

If he wanted to continue, Shen Lang needed to find an accurate map, then take a boat to the north two thousand li. Three days later, at noon, he inserted the bamboo pole into the ground and measured the length of the bamboo's shadow.

Two thousand li away, the same noon direct sunlight, the same 8.5 feet bamboo's shadow length would be different, there would be a difference of centimeters.

The difference in the length of the shadow in the two places, two thousand li away, and then according to the Pythagorean law, the distance between the sun and this world could be calculated.

Then, this distance divided by 85, the diameter of the sun in this world could be calculated.

Shen Lang wrote the whole process of the solution.

But in the end, he didn't give an accurate answer.

Because he didn't have time to take a boat two thousand li north. To be precise, it wasn't two thousand li, because the surface of the planet was round, and he had to calculate the curvature, which required the use of pi.

In just a quarter of an hour, Shen Lang handed in the answer.

Although he didn't give a final answer.

But after reading, Master still trembled slightly.

Because Shen Lang's answer was absolutely correct, even more accurate than theirs.

This was because Shen Lang's Pi was more accurate.

"Young Master, you can't take a boat two thousand li north, but please estimate the diameter of the sun?" Master asked.

Shen Lang calculated a little and said, "It should be 2.89 million li."

The diameters of the sun in the two worlds were different. Shen Lang roughly estimated the diameter of the sun in this world based on the diameter of the sun he was familiar with.

Master looked at Shen Lang in disbelief.

It was really amazing, too shocking.

After a long time, Master asked, "Young Master, how old are you this year?"

"Nineteen." Shen Lang said, "Oh, no, eighteen."

Master didn't understand this joke.

He sighed and said, "Geniuses are really born!"

"Genius, the top genius!"

"I've never seen such a young genius."

"Miss, you don't deserve him."

Mulan was speechless. Master didn't say that just now.

Shen Lang said, "Master, can I enter the Sky-sea Pavilion now?"

Master smiled and said, "Welcome Young Master, as a guest of our Sky-sea Pavilion."

It wasn't that the academic master didn't know humor, it just depended on who he was talking to.

Under the guidance of Master, Shen Lang entered the palace of martial arts and academics.

He entered the sea of countless secret books and works.

"Jade Lady, it's time to receive the guest," Master shouted.

A plump beauty in her thirties gracefully walked in.

She wore a scholar's robe, which was especially tight and charming.

However, although she was very beautiful, her hair was messy and her eyes were dark. She had no image to speak of.

She cursed as she walked.

"Another old man? Are all the smart young people in the world dead? What do you want to read? " The female scholar said viciously, "Hurry up and tell me, I don't have time. I'll give you two hours to find it yourself, my hands are tired."

She looked up and saw Shen Lang with her beautiful big eyes.

Then she was stunned, and her beautiful eyes instantly lit up.

With a cry of surprise, she quickly ran away again.

Shen Lang was stunned. What was going on?

But after a quarter of an hour, she came out again.

She seemed to have changed into a different person. Her hair became soft, the dark circles under her eyes disappeared, her face was smeared with rouge, and her lips were dyed red.

She also changed into an even more charming blue dress.

The female scholar said coquettishly, "Sir, that dirty woman just now is my sister. She has always been rude, I hope you don't mind. "

Sister?

You two have the same hip circumference, chest circumference, and even the trigonometric function of the inner thighs.

But whatever you say, it's all up to you.

The beautiful scholar said coquettishly, "May I ask which book you want to borrow? Or was it a secret manual? Just sit here and rest, I'll go get it for you. Young Master, would you like some tea? Would you like some snacks? "

Shen Lang said, "I want to borrow the Meteor Fall sword technique."

The beautiful scholar was stunned, then said sweetly, "Yes, I'll go get it for you."

…

Inside the Xu family's mansion.

Countless silks were piled up like mountains.

Sixty percent of them were purple silk, and forty percent were rainbow silk.

Dozens of Western Regions merchants stared at the silks with dazed eyes.

It was so beautiful!

It was simply a masterpiece of God.

It wasn't silk at all, it was a mountain of gold coins.

They could imagine what a sensation this silk would cause once it arrived in their country.

Why were they all merchants from the Western Regions?

Because the market in the State of Yue was occupied by the Xu family.

The Xu family couldn't open a shop in those countries, so they could only sell it to these merchants.

"Bring it up!"

Xu Qianqian ordered.

Immediately, dozens of purple robes and rainbow skirts were brought up.

"This is my greeting gift to you," Xu Qianqian said.

This was also an old rule. Every time they made a deal, they had to give these silk clothes to the other party.

These Western Regions merchants not only came by themselves but also brought their lovers, so they also gave them rainbow skirts.

Dozens of Western Regions merchants and their lovers couldn't wait to enter the room and put on the new robes and skirts.

It was indeed gorgeous and graceful.

Especially the rainbow skirts, they looked like fairies.

Xu Qianqian said, "Are you satisfied?"

The dozens of Western Regions merchants were full of praise. "Satisfied, very satisfied."

Xu Qianqian said, "Then shall we officially deliver the goods now? Officially? "

The dozens of Western Regions merchants agreed.

They were even more eager to ship this batch of silk to their country as soon as possible so that they could quickly open the market and make a fortune.

Next, it was time for the official delivery.

This meant that the Xu family would suddenly have more than a hundred thousand gold coins in their account.

Even if they bought the cocoons at three times the price, this business was still a big profit.

There was no hurry to rebuild the workshop. This money could be given to Zhang Chong to seek the position of commander-in-chief in Yanzhou.

Xu Qianqian let out a long sigh of relief.

After so many days of hard work, they finally succeeded.

The Xu family finally got through this crisis.

Not only did Xu Xiu's golden signboard not break, but it also improved.

These days, she had nightmares almost every night.

The content of the dream was always the same.

The silk suddenly faded.

So, before the delivery, she selected the silk samples and had people do countless experiments.

Exposed to the sun, roasted over fire, washed in salt water, scalded in boiling water, etc.

Almost every method was used.

The silk did not fade.

Now, it was finally a success.

Xu Qianqian's eyes were wet.

It was too difficult, too difficult.

She turned around and saw her fiancé, Zhang Jin. She smiled intimately.

Zhang Jin smiled affectionately. He also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Xu family's success meant that his father had the money to seek the position of commander-in-chief in Yanzhou.

Most importantly, he could marry Xu Qianqian. He didn't have to do anything terrible anymore.

Xu Qianqian said proudly in her heart, "Shenlang, oh Shenlang, you blind fool. You actually gave me two invaluable dyeing recipes."

"You think you can destroy the Xu family by burning down my workshop?"

"You ignorant thing, you don't even know that these two recipes are worth more than a workshop."

"Not only did you not defeat our Xu family, but you made us stronger. You made me, Xu Qianqian, stronger."

"My Xu family didn't fall. The next one to suffer is you, Shenlang."

"Shenlang, I'll wait for you to die! I want to see how miserable your death will be. This day is coming soon. Your end is coming. "

Xu Qianqian was delighted.

However, at this moment!

Among the merchants from the Western Region, someone suddenly let out a scream.

"Ah … Ah …"

Then, Xu Qianqian was horrified to discover.

There were actually several merchants from the Western Region, as well as their lovers, who had many rashes and blisters on their bodies.

Some of their faces began to swell and deform.

One of them even began to have asthma and couldn't breathe at all.

"Ah … Ah …"

"This silk is poisonous, poisonous …"

Of course, this silk was not poisonous.

It was just that Shenlang had added a few allergic substances to the dye formula.

And it was specifically for the allergic constitution of the people from the Western Region.

How could I, Master Lang, let you, Xu Qianqian, see through my methods?

…
