Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Daveus said lightly: "Mariji, there is an old saying in the East, I wonder if you have heard of it?"

"What old saying?"

"If God wants his destruction, he must first make it crazy."

………………………

Nick Stratus, Stacipus and Lucasus are standing in front of the gate of the Dionysian Academy.

This is a strangely shaped gate, a large white arch, with a huge stone ball supported by the arch, and a thick sword-shaped stele extending straight from the middle of the arch, against the arch, and thus the arch Divided into two.

There is a sentence engraved on the stele: everything runs its own laws, and its mystery can only be obtained by unremitting explorers.

Nick Stratus detailed this sentence, could not help nodding again and again, but then saw the signature-Daphes.

"Daveus? Which is Daveus?" Nick Stratus asked in surprise.

"Which one else! Of course Dionysia's governor!" Stacipus replied.

"This is a place where scholars gather, a sacred place! What qualifications does he have here!" Nick Stratuston changed his color from time to time, and said a few sentences.

Stacipus was shocked and dissuaded him: "Don't talk nonsense, Daves is not just a consul, but he is respected as a teacher by Dionysian doctors, even those who study mathematics I also respect him very much. It is said that he has received a lot of enlightenment from him, so everyone in the school respects him. And last year I have heard a lecture from Daveus. The medical knowledge he described is indeed unique and unique. It’s thought-provoking… No wonder many people say, “He is the messenger sent by the gods to the world.” If these people hear you insulting him here, they will definitely conflict with you!”

"...I'm not afraid of Dionysians..." Nick Stratus grumbled, stopped talking, and walked into the gate of the school with Stacipus.

Lucasus kept staring at the dome of the vault, striding across the gate diligently, and then walked a few steps, couldn't help but look back and said to himself, "This heavy stone ball is placed on the top What's the meaning, I'm not afraid of it falling."

"Little guy, you don't understand this." A young man in his 20s stood in the door and explained aloud: "The dome ball symbolizes the land we live in -"

"Wait, you said the land under our feet is round?!" Lucasus interrupted him in surprise.

"That is of course, otherwise why would you always see the sails every time you look at a ship sailing in the distance. You know, as early as 200 years ago, Miletus Thales had... forget it. It’s not clear to you, you just have to remember that the land we live in is a big ball!" said the young man impatiently, then he pointed to the vault and said again: "Look at what this vault looks like ?"

After reminding him, Lucasus took a closer look: "Oh, it's a pair of arms!"

"Yes, with both hands holding the ball, it means that humans can transform the earth!" The young man said excitedly: "But what can you use to defeat terrible disasters and transform the earth?"

"How do I know?" Lucasus stared at the young man who was pulling himself, and said angrily.

"Did you see the words engraved on the stone tablet!" The young man's finger pointed at the sword-shaped stone tablet, and said with great enthusiasm: "It depends on knowledge, on exploration, and on those of us who are constantly studying hard! Dave The door designed by Master Sri Lanka is so profound!"

Lucasus chuckled, dissatisfied with his bragging.

The young man obviously didn’t pay attention to the other person’s look, and he took Lucasus’s hand and said, “Now I tell you why the stone ball won’t break the vault and fall down, because the round arch has the weight The dispersive characteristics of the two ends..." As he said, he picked up a branch and drew the exploded view of gravity on the ground: "Of course the gravity of the stone ball cannot be completely dispersed, the pressure on the vault is still there, and the stone Support is the key..."

Poor Lucasus' professional explanation to young people is like a book of heaven, completely confused.

Nick Stratus, who was previously curious and listening on the side, was even more impatient at the moment, shouting: "Lucasus, it's time to go! It's getting dark, don't miss the registration!"

"Yes!" Lucasus pulled his hand back in fright, almost causing the young man to fall.

"Sign up? What's the sign?" The young man looked at them questioningly.

"We are here to participate in the medical forum." Stacipus replied.

"You are looking for doctors who deal with corpses and bone racks!" The young man suddenly realized.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" He suddenly lost his interest as a teacher, and slapped Lucasus's hand, as if afraid of getting filthy.

"Is this man sick, crazy..." Lucasus sullen, and followed Stacyps forward.

In the school, the trees are lush and lush, and a gravel-paved path is hidden between the trees that are covered with greenery and staggered branches.

The three of them walked in a short walk, not too far away, and suddenly heard an urgent cry: "Be careful, don't step on!"

Stacipus stopped quickly, only to find a man on the side of the road curled up on the ground, holding a piece of limestone in his hand, and a flat paving stone in front of him was densely covered with words and symbols.

The man covered the stone with his body, glanced at them, and dissatisfied urged: "Go away! Go away!"

"These people are estimated to be scholars of the Mathematics Institute in the Dionysian Academy, and most of them are said to be from the Pythagoras School of Tarantum." Stacipus dissatisfied with Nick Stella Tus explained.

It turned out to be this group of lunatics!Nick Stratus suddenly realized that the Pythagorean school believed in "mathematics as deities", and also often held some weird ceremonies, and its secrets were cryptic. In its early years, it was closely connected with the nobles of the various Greek city-states and opposed democracy. It is regarded as heresy by many people, and it is avoided.

Dionia accepted them!Nick Stratus had a disgust in his heart.

Wait until they see again: Someone is leaning on the tree trunk, looking up at the sky, muttering to himself; Someone is blind, walking like a puppet, I don’t know what to think about; Someone was lying on the mud and suddenly jumped up, rejoicing If you are crazy... and so many strange words and manners, the three are no longer strange.

Around a few tall trees, a small pavilion appeared in front of it. Many people in the pavilion formed a circle, and there seemed to be something in the center...

They were fiercely arguing while fiddling with the object.

The curious Lucasus approached the pavilion and only heard what they were saying "How long should the bridge span?"...

"Where should it be built to ensure the level of the bridge deck?"......

"How many piers are needed to support this bridge?"...

"How far should it be?"

...

"Are you here to participate in the medical forum?" A man came out of the crowd and asked, looking at the medicine chest on Lucasus' waist.

Before waiting for Lucasus to answer, Stacipus bowed his salute and said respectfully, "Dr. Stacey Kodas, hello!"

"Are you?" Stacey Kodas looked at him suspiciously, trying to find his name from memory.

"I am Dr. Stacipus from Crotone. This is Dr. Nick Stratus and Lucasus, both from Crotone." Stacipus made an introduction immediately.

"Oh, look at my memory, I'm so sorry! I remembered that last year you did a...um...the use of aloe vera in sports bruises!" Stacey Kodas slapped his head, apologizing Said.

"Yes, that's a little bit of what I exchanged last year. So long ago, you still remember!" Stacipus said with a look of joy.

"Of course remember! Inspired by your speech, some doctors in our medical school have conducted more in-depth research on aloe this year, and have made some new progress, which will be mentioned in this forum." Tasikodas said seriously.

"That's great!" Stacipus couldn't help cheering, forgetting the unnatural Nick Stratus beside him.

But Stacey Kodas did not forget that he took the initiative to salute: "Welcome, Dr. Nick Stratus!"

Nick Stratus' reserved gift.

"And you, Lucasus! Welcome to the Dionysian Academy!" Stacey Kodas said enthusiastically, while leading them to the medical school.

"I'm so sorry for you! It was my turn to meet the doctor at the entrance of the college to attend the forum. I just stood for most of the day. I was a little tired. Then I rested at Xiaoting and listened to the discussion of the construction of the stone bridge by the Institute of Mathematics. I thought I almost missed you," Stacey Kodas said embarrassingly as he walked.

Stacips was stunned: "Are you talking about building stone bridges?"

"Yes, the Department of Road and Bridge Management of Dionysia is planning to build a stone bridge over the Saraceno River, replacing the previous wooden bridge. After obtaining the approval of the Senate, the design and data measurement tasks of the stone bridge will be handed over to mathematical research. The school has been completed. The deputy dean of the Mathematical Research Institute, Martinique, has led a group of people to fight for this for more than ten days. The plan has basically been completed...If this time the construction of the Saraceno River Stone Bridge is successful, a few more will be built. Bridge, with enough experience, Little Heracled can build a bridge on the Krati River!" Stacey Kodas smiled "ha ha ha", obviously this is full of expectations, because if a direct connection The stone bridges in the main city of Turi and the south city can be built, so pedestrians from north to south will cross this stone bridge without having to walk through the wooden bridge in the delta, and the environment around the school will be much quieter.
