Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"What are the two working on recently?" Daveus asked with a smile.

"In addition to designing the molds and tools for silver coins that helped the coinage committee of the Senate, we have been working on pulleys recently," Mentoik Els said truthfully.

"Pulley?!" Daveus heard it, and his heart moved.

"Last year, when you defeated Crotone and annexed Turri, didn't Achita come to Amendolara." Mattikoris said with great care.

Davers didn't care, he nodded.

"He saw our newly built waterwheel and was very interested, and discussed with us the principle of its use. At the same time, he also mentioned that he recently became interested in mathematical mechanics and began to study the application of pulleys..." Mattico Rees said a little embarrassedly: "So... I..." He glanced at the door Totique Els: "We'll start...to study the pulley..."

Davers understood.Don’t look at Archita as an important figure and mathematical genius of the Pythagorean school. The two in front of them are just ordinary disciples, but academically they have a competitive heart that does not lose to anyone, especially Matico Reese, who has strong energy and strong curiosity and desire to explore, now in the conditions of excellent life, he put all his energy into research, to academically compete with Aceta.

"How is the progress of the research?" Daveus softly interrupted the stuttering of Matticoris. Although he gave back to the teacher a lot of science knowledge he had learned in school in his previous life, he did not even know what the pulley was. This is just the basic knowledge of physics in junior high school.

"We have created the mathematical formula that saves the effort of the pulley, and has verified its correctness many times. Of course, using the digital symbols you invented, saved us a lot of time and energy. Now we are further Experiment with multiple pulley combinations to perfect its theory... By then, this discovery will surely change the entire Mediterranean world! Can you imagine a person using a pulley to pull a boulder alone, a dozen meters high! You Can you imagine a person using a pulley to pull a small boat alone!..." As soon as Mattikoris talked about mathematics, his eyes were shining and his hands were dancing.

Davies was not as surprised as they had expected, but said with a smile: "I believe that your research and invention will bring great convenience to the life of the Union people!"

The two glanced at each other, a little frustrated.Daves, as the custodian of Hades, seems to have long seen the future development prospects of a mathematical study, so that every time they stand in front of him, there is always no sense of superiority of scholars.

Mattikoris had to complain: "If it were not for you to let us help them mint, our research could go faster!"

"Don't coining prove your abilities to the Pythagorean school?!" Daveus laughed. When he handed the coin to Trito de Mos, he didn't actually consider these two. The disciple of the Pythagorean school, but his high demands made Trito de Mos very difficult. Finally, Trito de Mos took the initiative to find Davos and asked Mattis to help them because After Pythagoras was expelled by the Crotonians decades ago, he stayed in Metapontoum and designed an elaborate coin-making mold for Metapontoum, making this not famous in Greater Greece The coins of the Greek city-states were very popular, so he thought of letting the Pythagorasian school's Martiniques help them.

"Compared to the era where the teacher Pythagoras was, the school's research on the design of coin molds has been more perfect, so -" Mentoik Els said modestly, Matisse He grunted: "But the hydraulic presses are not what they have, so the silver coins we cast are indeed stronger than them!"

After spending so long together, Davers can basically understand the two young people in front of him.At the beginning, most of the Pythagoreans were reluctant to come to the remote town of Amendolara, so they forced the appointment of these two unknown Gentile disciples, which gave two sensitive Leoti The Nepalese took a big hit. Under the long-term intentional and unintentional guidance of Davis, the two people who were humble in the school had gradually diverged from and did not agree with some of the school's ideas, and they were determined to compete with the original teachers and classmates.

Davies smiled slightly, took out a papyrus, and said, "I have a drawing here with an instrument drawn on it, which involves the use of pulleys. I wonder if you can make it?"

"Let's see! Let's see!" As soon as Dave's voice fell, Matisse could not wait to grab it from Dave's.

Mentor Tick Els leaned over, looked at the drawings and asked, "What is this device called?"

"The Syracuse people called it the ballista. It is said that it can shoot a dozen pounds of stone out of hundreds of meters. The Syracuse people used it to repel Carthage's reinforcements more than ten days ago." Devers said calmly, but his heart was not calm.

Aristilas was very surprised when he reported the situation of the Battle of Motiya to Daphes.Dionysia’s catapult is still in the trial stage, while Syracuse’s ballistas and belly bows have appeared in large numbers in Motia, and have successfully sunk many Carthage warships. The accuracy is not comparable to Dionysia's crude trebuchet, which shows the gap between Syracuse and Dionysia in military engineering technology.This put pressure on Daphes, he immediately ordered Aristilas: at any cost, to obtain drawings of the Siracusa ballista!

For Aristilas, who hated Syracuse, of course, he couldn't get what he wanted. After paying a considerable price, he got this rough image of the Syracuse ballista.

Hearing the name "Syracuse", the two scholars who also lost their motherland looked more seriously, and wished they could get into the drawings.

"Mentico Els." At this time, Daves asked: "The last time I told you about attracting and recruiting more of your classmates to Dionysia to expand the Institute's Scale, further promote the research of mathematical theory and application, do not know how is it going?"

Mentok Els moved away from the drawings somewhat reluctantly and said: "Master Sir, since the school has vigorously condemned us for violating the regulations and teaching in public, many students have cut off their relationship with me. In correspondence, only a handful of foreign students with good ties heard me introduce the good environment in Dionysia and would like to come to Dionysia."

"As long as they are willing to come, the promises given by Dionia will be fulfilled! In addition, you can tell me what they need, and I will try my best to meet them! Dionysia will create the best for you The environment and conditions of study, discussion, and research, although you have few people, I believe you can also make fruitful results no less than that of Tarantum!"

Davis unreservedly showed his full support for the Institute of Mathematics, which made Mento Tick Els grateful and aroused his ambition. He said solemnly: "We will not let you down of!"

"How did you discuss the dispatch of teachers to the newly built school?" Daveus asked again.

"Originally because of the lack of manpower, we are still a little hesitant. Now that some new classmates are coming, after discussing with Matti Keris, I think you are right. Going to school can help us sort out the mathematical theory we have mastered and consolidate Basic knowledge, at the same time, can also expand the influence of the institute, maybe in the exchange with students, we can also get new inspiration...We are very willing to send people, but there is a requirement."

"any request?"

"If we find a talented student in mathematics in the school, we hope to train him specially and join the institute in the future." Mento Tick Els said with some caution, because it was him and Mattico Reese's selfishness, since they have fallen out with the Pythagoras School of Tarantum, they also want to develop their own academic community to contend with the Pythagoras School.

"Of course it's okay, but you have to ask for your students' consent." Daveus did not hesitate to agree. In fact, he was very happy to see this. Mattikoris and Mento Tick Els could both Considering the issue from their own interests, it shows that they have been farther and farther away from the Pythagoras school of Tarantum in both feelings and actions.

"In addition, in normal days, I also plan to let those engineering instrument engineers in various legions to the Mathematics Institute to serve as your assistants, which can not only solve your shortage of manpower problems, but also closely combine theory and practical application."

"Of course, the Institute welcomes them to help!" Mentorik Elskobe would be more effective than Marti Keris, and he said politely: "But we don't have enough money to pay their salary."

"You will have it soon." Daveus said with a smile: "The water mill you designed has been tested to increase the efficiency of grinding flour several times, which can save a lot of time and animal power for the people. Amendolara, Turiri, and Crimea built water mills separately. The price of a pound of flour is very low, less than one-third of Opol. I believe that people will be willing to use water mills after they try. My agreement with you, the research institute will get 20% of the income of the device application you invented, I think it will be a large fee, and it will be completely controlled by you. I hope you can make good use of this money, especially Give major inventors a big award and encourage their enthusiasm. Only then will more people be incentivized to invent better devices, and your income will also increase."
