Elizabeth's face regained its usual smile after the encounter with Sebastian. The palace maid and her mother looked relieved after a while.

Both of them thought, "The girl has finally grown up."

Elizabeth was getting older and was also starting to mature. After accepting the mission as a princess, there was not much change in Elizabeth's daily routine. She was still reading etiquette poetry and books, going to class, and going to the Stargazing Tower after class.

It was just that, if the palace maid was careful, she would notice that Elizabeth was spending more and more time in the Stargazing Tower.

Time continued to pass, and with the crackling of firecrackers, another year had arrived.

As the marriage of Elizabeth and Max's son was settled, the smiles of the people in the palace also increased. People's attitudes towards Elizabeth were also subtly changing, but Elizabeth was completely indifferent to this.

The thing she looked forward to most every day was going to the Stargazing Tower after class and waiting for Sebastian's teaching, but Sebastian did not come every time.

The flow of time in Greater Terra was naturally different from reality. For example, when Sebastian went to eat a meal, Elizabeth naturally could not see him that day.

Sebastian's teaching was also based on offering hints. He knew that this kind of scientific genius could not be taught directly, she needed to rely on that unparalleled talent.

When Elizabeth was 12 years old, she built a gift for herself. That gift was an astronomical telescope. It was also the world's first astronomical telescope, and it made the observation of the starry sky more convenient and clear.

Those days when Sebastian did not come over, her eyes couldn't help but focus on the orb that had almost landed on her head.

"Why are these orbs falling downward? Why are they not falling upwards?" This strange thought suddenly appeared in Elizabeth's mind.

In the past, she ignored it because she considered it to be natural. Thinking about it, Elizabeth hurried downstairs and picked up a book on Shujin's research. In the era of Kai, a masterpiece was produced, led by Kai, and participated in by many scientists.

Elizabeth turned to the first few pages and saw that there were questions that Sebastian once asked. To be exact, there was one less question because the last question about the Supernaturals had been replaced by something else, and those questions were solved.

"Why does drinking cold water make you sick, while hot water does not?" This problem was solved shortly after the invention of the microscope.

"Why does sound travel faster than a bow and arrow? Why does coal burn while stone doesn't?" These questions were solved one by one after the formal establishment of the disciplines of chemistry and physics.

Only the last question that seemed easiest remained.

"Why does water flow down and not up?" In the opinion of many scientists, this was completely bizarre because it was considered a law of nature.

It seemed that there was not much research, but there were still scientists who were studying it. Its progress was extremely slow, as no one could come up with a convincing explanation. These explanations did not satisfy Elizabeth either, so she started using her methods. She started conducting experimental studies.

The result she found was that everything was not in free fall. For example, magnets. A magnet would also fall, but if there was another magnet next to it, then it would be attracted to this other magnet.

It was not just magnets; feathers would also be blown by the wind in the air, and it was not easy for them to fall either.

Looking at these experimental results and natural phenomena, Elizabeth picked up her diary and wrote a preliminary guess. Water doesn't always go down; it can go up too. A very common kind of water, tap water, had been invented in this era and it could climb from low to high.

Sometime after that, Sebastian stopped teaching and silently watched Elizabeth conduct various experiments and observations. She kept flipping through books to find research by other scientists. It had to be said that if Elizabeth came from a common family, then even with a higher level of talent, it could have been buried. Growing up and getting married would have been her fate.

In the palace, books were the most abundant, especially the various books left by previous scientists. At that time, no one paid attention to these things at all, and all of those books were sitting on the shelf, dusty and almost moldy.

Gradually, Elizabeth discovered that all objects could interact with each other, and the most obvious one was the magnet. Elizabeth called it "interaction force".

The concept of force had long been proposed by scientists, but they couldn't define it precisely. After Elizabeth introduced the concept of "interaction forces," that force entered the field area, she also discovered that there were more than just interactions between objects; these interactions were vastly different.

Since magnets were the most obvious, she called it "magnetism." After that, Elizabeth wrote down some concepts such as "centripetal force," "centrifugal force," and "frictional force," etc. in her diary.

Finally, Elizabeth realized the initial problem. It was not just the water, all things were subject to the influence of other objects. Ultimately, all things were falling towards the ground. She looked at an orb above her head, and suddenly there was some clarity.

Could it be that this orb could also be considered an object? Everything fell by the force generated by this object. Elizabeth couldn't help but get excited while thinking about this.

"If this planet is regarded as an object, the force generated by such a huge object would be unimaginable." Elizabeth's mind turned quickly.

This was a bold guess, but Elizabeth thought that maybe it was close to the truth. She started experimenting again and was preparing to prove her guesses. Unfortunately, despite the discovery of this amazing fact, the proof could not be carried out inside.

Sebastian showed up at this time and mentioned, "Mathematics."

Elizabeth had a realization, so she put aside the experimental proof for now and started studying math again. Mathematics of this period was also a subject, but it was not taken seriously.

Not only ordinary people, even some scientists treated mathematics as a calculation tool, but mathematics was still being studied. Vale was already a young scientist, and he created analytical geometry, but most mathematics scientists were still submerged in details.

Elizabeth also discovered that those minor inferences that didn't work were exhausting for many people. In addition, mathematics could not calculate many things at that time. There were four main categories.

The first category arose directly from the study of motion, i.e., the problem of finding the instantaneous degree of return.

The second type of problem was the problem of finding the tangent line of a curve.

The third type of problem was the problem of finding the maximum and minimum value of a function.

The fourth type of problem was to find the length of the curve, the area enclosed by the curve, the volume enclosed by the curved surface, the center of gravity of an object, and the force of an object with a relatively large volume acting on another object, and so on.

These four types of problems were a huge headache for many scientists. Elizabeth's various experiments were also limited by this, it was impossible to draw an accurate conclusion.

"Perhaps the answer needs to be answered from a different line of thought?" Elizabeth was no longer limited to today's mathematics.

She flipped through books to find some inspiration. At last, she saw a former scientist's method for calculating the volume of a sphere in a book, a method called "points" was used. This method was not new to Elizabeth either because this was also being studied by later scientists, but not in depth. One could say that it lacked a clear and rigorous logical foundation.

Just saying so, without explaining why they did so? This discovery made Elizabeth ecstatic, she felt that a whole new door was opening for her.

After almost a year of continuous thinking and calculations, Calculus was officially born. Of course, Calculus was just born, it couldn't be compared to its later maturity at all. There was also a lack of many corresponding concepts, but its birth was significant.

Soon after, Mathematics ushered in a period of unprecedented prosperity. It had an important and far-reaching influence on the mathematics of later generations.

Seeing this, Sebastian couldn't help but be stunned. Is this... the terrifying part of the once-in-a-millennium genius? Even if the conditions were humble and there were not many previous theories, Elizabeth was still able to forcibly create calculus.

"The only thing that raises the limit of humanity is genius." Sebastian thought silently.

The history of science in his previous life had amply demonstrated especially the basic theories. For example, even if the theory of relativity was given to the average person a hundred years later in the future, many people wouldn't understand it either.

A breakthrough in basic theory could bring about a great leap forward in human technology, and the talent of Greater Terra. The genius that was born was more terrifying than in his previous life.

When Calculus was born, Elizabeth had just celebrated her thirteenth birthday. Of course, this could not have been done without Sebastian's guidance.

Sebastian's teachings were not random either; they were all according to the deduction system, and he gave proper pointers step by step. Sebastian saw a higher talent than Kai and more possibilities in Elizabeth.

Thirteen-year-old Elizabeth had initially lost the innocence of a child, there was a trace of manner and beauty that belonged to a young girl. Her reputation was growing, as long as she showed up at the poetry club, she would attract a lot of peeping eyes because the marriage with Max's son was almost an open secret.

Not many people dared to come forward, the teenager who asked Elizabeth to go with him last time was already married.

In the Imperium, the legal age for marriage was sixteen years.

"In three years, Elizabeth will be able to get married." Seeing Elizabeth's slender appearance, her mother said with relief.

Elizabeth's face was calm as she had dinner.

Elizabeth suddenly said, "Mother, I want to go to the mausoleum?"

"Mausoleum?" Her mother looked at Elizabeth in surprise.

"Three years in the mausoleum, then I'll come back," Elizabeth said.

"This..." Her mother didn't expect this at all, so she was surprisingly frozen.

"The princess wants to go to the mausoleum for three years and she will be sixteen when she comes back, that's fine." The palace maid next to her passed a look to her mother.

Her mother was a little hesitant and didn't answer right away.

After Elizabeth slept, she discussed this with the palace maid all night and finally agreed. The reason was not just for filial piety, the main issue was that the Imperium was still in the feudal era, but there was no such strict ethos as in the ancient times of the previous world. It had happened before in the palace.
