Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 46: Dionia School (1)

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

Maticoris is completely obsessed with mathematics and ignores mundane things. Mentor Tik Els is different. He does not reject spending time to deal with various affairs, and mathematics gives him a careful mind, allowing him to manage the academy, arrange manpower, and make plans handily, so Dave Only then would he let him be the dean of the institute. In this regard, Matticlis raised his hands in favor.

"I will consider this matter." Mentor Tick Els replied cautiously.

"I understand the principle of this ballista!" At this moment, Matiklis came to Davos excitedly, pointed to the drawing, and exclaimed excitedly: "Look here! Look here! This crossbow The most important thing about the gun is these two things. One is the string made of strong livestock tendons, and the other is the pulley that can save effort to pull the string. In addition, the longer the chute, the farther the range will be. Because the string will be pulled apart as hard as possible, the greater the strength it will rebound to give to the stone... I think Syracuse people are very stupid, they only use one pulley, which is too simple, and it will be very laborious to use. .In fact, make a set of pulley block and fix it at the end of the chute, it will easily pull the string to the end of the chute. Give me the best carpenter and materials, I will soon be able to make better than them Ballista!"

Maticoris’ confident expression made Davers satisfied. He smiled and said, “I’ve already told Mentor Tick Els that I will send the mechanics of the Legion Engineering Camp to study mathematics. The hospital serves as your assistant, and Dionia has the best cattle in the entire Western Mediterranean-Lucania, and can supply you with a large amount of high-quality beef tendon at any time."

"That's great!" After finishing talking, Matikeris took the drawing and walked out.

"Maticoris, I have an idea." Daves hurriedly called him: "If the ballista can accurately know where the stone falls before the ballista shoots the stone, it will be accurate for the operator. Hitting the target is very helpful."

"This..." Matticoris and Mentotik Els didn't think it was an extra burden for Davers's suggestion, but fell into thinking.

"I have another idea." Daves said seriously: "I think that no matter how much force we use and how many angles we throw objects, the trajectory of objects in the air should be like this— —" Daves stretched out his finger and drew different arcs in the air.

Matticris and Mentotik Els stared at Daves' moving fingers thoughtfully.

"If there is no wind and the ground is at the same level, centered on the highest point of the trajectory of the thrown object in the air, the trajectories on both sides should be able to overlap when folded..." Daves said gently. .

The two people were shocked, and their expressions suddenly became extremely excited.

"Executive...consultant, this is...this...is Hades' enlightenment to you again?!" Mentochik Els stammered. There have been several similar situations in the past. When Davos talked with them, he occasionally proposed some novel ideas, which were verified afterwards, and they were all correct. Each time they were asked to study mathematical theory. Achieving a breakthrough has also greatly expanded their knowledge.

"You can think so." Daves smiled mysteriously.

"Come on! Come on! Now show me the trajectory for a closer look!" Matticlis excitedly took Davers's hand, and walked out without a word.

Daves knew what he meant. The floor of the living room was paved with marble. Of course, he could only paint on the mud in the courtyard, so he walked out of the living room unscrupulously.

"Mother, come and see! What did my father do in the garden with someone, and trampled on your flowers!" By the window of the bedroom on the second floor, Cynthia pointed to the three Daves in the courtyard and said loudly Shouted.

"Hush!" Kristonia made a silent gesture and whispered, "Don't wake up your brother!"

She came to the window, looked down, frowned slightly, and then turned around and smiled: "It's nothing, your father and some uncles are discussing math problems." Although Christoya loves Flower, but she is a general woman who will never embarrass her husband in public.

"What is mathematics?" Adoris next to him asked curiously.

"That is a very interesting piece of knowledge. Your sister will learn it soon." Kristia smiled and said softly.

"Can I go to school, too?" Adoris asked longingly.

"Of course." Kristia stroked his head: "But you are still young, so you have to wait another year."

"I don't want it! I'm going to school with my sister now!" Adoris said dissatisfied.

"Brother, stop making trouble! Listen to my mother, or I won't let my father tell you a story at night!" As soon as he said this, Adoris quieted down despite being pouting.

"Mother, I go to school and study with other boys, is this really good?" Cynthia said hesitantly to Kristia. At this time Cynthia is seven years old. According to Greek tradition, a 16-year-old girl can get married. She already knows a lot. Since childhood, her biological mother taught her how to be a good woman in a Greek family. In her impression, her mother had never walked out of the house, but now she has to study with many boys in public year after year, day after day, which makes her feel a little uneasy.

Christonia pulled Cynthia in front of her, and while combing her slightly messy long hair, she said softly: "Child, do you know how lucky you are! Except Dionia, in Girls like you in other Greek city-states have been trapped in houses for most of their lives. They are busy raising children and managing household chores. They don’t know what the outside world is like, they haven’t seen sports meets, they haven’t appreciated them. Drama, you haven’t even seen the sea, do you want your future life to be like them?!"

Cynthia looked terrified and shook her head vigorously.

Christoya continued with emotion: "Your father is a great man! He worked so hard to convince the Senate, so that you girls have the same opportunity to learn as boys. At that time, you will not only go to school. , There are girls from other citizen families. Cynthia, you will not be alone in school, you must study hard, you must prove that our women are no worse than men, and don’t let your father’s efforts in vain!"

Cynthia nodded seemingly.

Actually, although the social customs of the newly emerging Dionian League are different from other Greek city-states and are more open to women, Daves proposed in the Senate "let girls and boys go to school together." Many veterans were opposed to his proposal.

Daves was able to persuade them, and one of them resonated with everyone: "...Let the girls of Dionian citizens also enter the school, let them learn more knowledge and skills, and learn how to Get along with boys, knowledge will make them more self-cultivation, temperament, and wisdom. When they grow up and get married, they will have more common topics and hobbies with their husbands, which reduces their husbands going out to find brothels. The possibility of joy ensures the stability of the family; allows them to manage family affairs more wisely, and will not be deceived by cunning slaves; allows them to better raise their children, so that the future citizens of Dionia can be Good habits can be formed in a period of time, which is vital to their life!..."

In this era, because there is no electric light, when it gets dark, except for a few wealthy people who use candles to light up and continue to do things, most people go to bed. Because they go to bed early, they also get up early in the morning. People often start to get up after the rooster crows. But for the diligent Dionians, most of them get up earlier, often before dawn and the stars are still shining in the night, get up and start preparing for work after sunrise. Only children who don't like to get up early should start washing at the urging of their parents.

However, today 13-year-old Patroclus woke up very early. After he washed up in a hurry, he helped his mother bake bread. This made her mother very pleased: The son who has always been naughty and mischievous experienced Croto After Nei’s invasion, he really grew up.

At the dinner table, my mother asked again with concern: "Cross, you really don't want me to send you to...school?"

Patroclus shook his head like a rattle: "No! When the bad guys in Crotone came, I was alone to send a letter to the nearby villages to report to the police! Even Aguilas Bobo praised I'm a warrior. I'm so old, the school is in the city, and I need you to send it away. What a shame!"

"But—" As soon as the slightly worried mother spoke, it was interrupted by Patroclus' father Palion Doros: "Let him go alone!"

Pariandoros looked at Patroclus with a serious expression: "When you arrive at school, you have to listen to the teacher. You can do whatever you ask you to do. If you don't behave well, I will beat you!" Of course, the illiterate father hopes that his son can I know how to write, he has a better future, but he can't say better words to encourage him, so he can only use his usual tone to scare the child, but Patroclus, who often talks back today, replied cleverly: "I see, Dad !"

When Pariandoros was surprised, there was a knock on the door: "Who?"

"It's me."

"Uncle Aguilas!" Patroclus cheered, and hurried to open the door immediately.

"Little Cross should go to school today." As soon as Aguilas entered the door, he smiled and touched his head and said, "I brought you a schoolbag, a stylus, and some books. You can use the waxed calligraphy board and a small folding wooden chair to go to school."
