Seeing the girl's conflicted expression, Luo Kai continued, "Mathematics is the foundation of modern science. It is the most practical discipline to explore the laws of all things and analyze and utilize them. For example, you can use mathematical laws to build a program model to analyze all things. Computers are based on this principle …
The girl's expression changed and asked, "What is a computer?"
Luo Kai realized that there was no such thing as electricity in this world. He thought for a moment and replied, "It is a complicated tool that uses mathematical laws to analyze and calculate."
The girl pondered for a moment and asked, "Uncle, do you mean that this kind of 'computer' can be used to replace the human brain?"
Luo Kai didn't notice the change in the girl's tone. He nodded and said, "Yes. After all, human power is limited. If the data is too large, the human brain can't handle it. We humans are best at using foreign objects."
The girl waited expectantly for him to continue. Unfortunately, although Luo Kai knew the principle of a computer, without electricity, everything was empty talk. The first computer was a kind of mechanical calculator, but it could only do addition and subtraction operations. The efficiency was not as high as the human brain that had learned abacus arithmetic, so there was no need to continue, so he stopped talking.
"Uncle, please continue."
Luo Kai smiled bitterly and said, "There is no need to continue. Mathematics is the beginning of all learning. Similarly, there is something that is the foundation of all things. But it is missing now."
The girl frowned and asked tentatively, "Is it the 'electricity' you just mentioned?"
Luo Kai hesitated and said, "Yes. Without electricity, modern science is like a tree without roots. It will not be able to make any progress in the future. But …"
"But what?"
The girl hurriedly asked. Her face was full of nervousness. The 'computer' that Luo Kai mentioned was like a big hand that pushed away the fog that had been lingering in her mind. The things that she had learned since she was young could be solved today, when she turned 16.
Luo Kai's eyes were a little confused. In fact, he didn't know what to say, but as his understanding of the mysterious spiritual world deepened, another side of this world slowly unfolded in front of his eyes. It contained the secrets of life and even the secrets of the universe.
He lowered his head and looked at the girl who was holding his hand with a face full of expectation. He said softly, "But computers are also products of the human brain. The complexity of the human brain far surpasses the most advanced computers. The potential of life is endless. Perhaps in the future, humans won't need any foreign objects at all."
The girl let go of his hand and lowered her head to think for a while. Then, she raised her head and said with a smile, "Uncle, thank you. Can … can you come here more often in the future?"
Luo Kai also smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know mathematics at all. What I know is superficial. I can't help you."
While the two were talking, the auction outside also came to an end. However, there were no more items that exceeded a million. The Zang family and the Su family were of the same branch, so they naturally had to support them. In the end, Zang Haiming took out a piece of shiny black ore.
This type of ore was called Black Gold Ore. It was a type of ore that came with iron ore. It was very rare and was a top-notch material for making weapons and armors. As the last item of the auction, it was sold for a high price of 2 million. In other words, the majority of the donations from this auction came from Blackstone.
After the auction ended, Su Wenlin said with a face full of excitement, "Thank you for everyone's generosity. This time, we raised a total of 19 million. We will build a group of resettlement houses in the new city district. In addition, there is another big event today, which is my little sister Su Wenhan's 16th birthday. Little sister … where is little sister?"
"Young master, the young miss went back to her room." The old mama on the side hurriedly said.
Su Wenlin said with a bit of embarrassment, "I'm sorry, my little sister has never liked noise. Everyone, feel free to drink to your heart's content. I'll go first."
When Su Wenlin returned to the villa, he immediately saw his little sister talking to a person dressed like a servant. He didn't pay much attention to it and hurriedly said, "Little sister, didn't we agree to hold on until the end of the auction?
Why did you run away by yourself again? "
Su Wenhan smiled apologetically at Luo Kai, then turned her head and said, "Big brother, I have something to do today, so I won't be going."
"No, we agreed to celebrate your birthday. Moreover, father is rushing back home for your birthday. He knows that he might not be able to make it back today, so he specially sent someone to send your birthday gift back."
Su Wenhan frowned, "Big brother, you know that I don't like to see outsiders."
Su Wenlin knew that his little sister's expression meant that she was angry, so he helplessly said, "Alright, then let's celebrate at home. We'll invite second uncle and the others in."
He said that he would invite Zang Haiming and the other relatives, but in the end, a large group of people still came in. Li Ye stubbornly followed in, and when he saw Su Hsiao-mei, his eyes lit up. He quickly walked over and took out a jewelry box from his bosom. Inside it was a dazzling star diamond bracelet, and said, "Miss Su, happy birthday!"
Zang Guixu naturally didn't want to fall behind. He was already prepared. He knew that this cousin of his didn't like gold, silver, and jewelry, but all kinds of precious books. He took out an old dark yellow book and said, "Cousin, I spent a lot of effort to get this, it's called … called Topology. I'll give it to you."
Soon, the table in front of Su Hsiao-mei was filled with all kinds of precious birthday gifts, dazzling her eyes.
Most of the birthday gifts, Su Hsiao-mei didn't look at them, but picked up the topology book and read it fascinatingly.
Zang Guixu smiled proudly at Li Ye. Li Ye snorted and took the glass and drank. Blackstone and the new City Lord had this kind of relationship. Their Jiu Yuan farmhouse couldn't resist at all, and they lost the support of the Dragon Shark Pirates, and the days in the future were not good.
"Little sister, you will like the gift that father gave you this time."
Su Wenlin called out to the old housekeeper behind him. Soon, several strong men carried a large cage covered with a black cloth and walked in.
Luo Kai immediately felt a familiar breath coming from the cage, and his face suddenly changed, and his expression was hesitant.
Su Hsiao-mei put down the book in her hand and curiously asked, "What gift, why is it so big?"
Su Wenlin smiled mysteriously and said, "It's a good thing, open it!"
The black cloth on the cage was slowly lifted, revealing a strange, round, bloated creature inside. It looked like a seal with four limbs and a tail, but its head looked like a dog's. Its body was covered in a layer of fine black scales, and its round body was firmly locked by a few arm-thick iron chains. Its four limbs and tail were all webbed. It should be an amphibious creature.
This strange creature was injected with anesthetics and was sleeping in the cage. When everyone saw that there was no danger, they were curious to observe it.
"What kind of monster is this, it's so ugly."
"Is it a mutant seal?"
Su Wenlin cleared his throat and said, "Have you heard of a beast?"
"Ah, this is a beast!"
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly retreated. Seongma Province was very far away from the battlefield between humans and beasts, and it had been peaceful for hundreds of years. In recent generations, people had only heard of the ferocity of beasts, but had never seen them in person.
"Don't be nervous, this is indeed a beast, but it's only in its infancy, so it doesn't have much combat power. We've asked people from Seongma Province's Genetic Research Bureau to identify it, and this beast's body contains a lot of canine genes, so it should be a mutation of an ordinary domestic dog. We call it the 'Sea Dog Beast'."
Zang Guixu thought of his pet at home, and couldn't help but tremble in fear, and hurriedly asked, "A domestic dog can also mutate into a beast?"
Su Wenlin frowned. He didn't like this relative of his who only knew how to eat, drink, and gamble, and was ignorant and incompetent. However, Zang Haiming was also there, so he couldn't say anything. He patiently explained, "The evolution of all living things is unpredictable, and any living thing can mutate into a beast, including us humans. When a human's bestiality is greater than his rationality, then he is no longer a human!"
Su Hsiao-mei saw that the scales of the beast in the cage were bleeding from the friction of the iron chains, and she couldn't help but interrupt, "Big brother, why did father give this to me? Are we going to keep it?"
Su Wenlin smiled and said, "Of course, in the distant human countries in the west, the humans there developed a method to tame beasts. They can control the beasts to help them in battle, and they call them 'Battle Beasts'. Father happened to know the method to raise this kind of beast, but once the beast enters the growth stage or mature stage, it can no longer be tamed, so he thought of a way to catch a beast in its infancy stage. Under the circumstances of raising it from a young age, even if the beast successfully evolves, it can still be tamed by humans."
He continued, "Don't underestimate this beast in its infancy stage. Not only is its skin thick, but it's also good at using water. Even an ordinary Physique Warrior can't do anything to it. It's even more powerful in the water. If it evolves into a mature stage, its combat power will be comparable to an advanced Physique Warrior!"
There weren't many girls who didn't like pets, and Su Hsiao-mei was a little happy in her heart. She lightly moved her feet and walked over. Just as she took two steps, the beast in the cage suddenly woke up. When it saw the people around it, its small eyes revealed a look of fear, and it let out intermittent whining sounds. It was a little like the sound of a newborn puppy, full of timidity and helplessness.
Su Hsiao-mei softly said, "Little guy, don't be afraid, I'll let people release you in a while."
At this time, the beast in the cage suddenly struggled, and raised its long nose to sniff in the direction of Su Hsiao-mei. The whining sounds from its mouth were a lot clearer, and it was indeed a dog's bark. Moreover, it wasn't the same timid and helpless cry as before, but it was full of joy.
"Little sister, it seems like this sea dog is very close to you!"
Su Wenlin said with a smile. In his heart, he secretly muttered that this little sister of his really liked both young and old. Not only did his grandparents like her the most, but even the beast turned into a puppy when it saw her for the first time.
Su Hsiao-mei also thought that this beast was very close to her, so she walked to the front of the cage and reached out her hand to touch its head. But the beast barked twice at her as a warning, then bypassed her and continued to whine behind her.
At this time, everyone felt that something was wrong. They looked at the corner of the side hall, and there stood a masked man dressed as a servant.
Luo Kai secretly sighed and slowly walked over to the cage. He said to the beast in the cage, "Huang, how did you become like this?"
Hearing the familiar name, the beast in the cage became even more agitated. Its round body started to twist, and the iron chains on its body became even more firm. It suddenly became furious, and opened its big mouth full of fangs to bite the iron chains with all its might. Its sharp mouth was full of blood, but it still didn't stop.
"Who are you?" Su Wenlin jumped in front of Luo Kai.
Luo Kai took a deep breath, and tried hard to calm the restless baleful energy in his chest. That's right, this round fellow was Huang. If it wasn't for Huang that had pulled him out from the reeds, he might have died long ago. To him, Huang Huang was like a family member. He definitely wouldn't allow anyone to hurt it, and definitely wouldn't let it become someone's beast.
"I'm sorry, this isn't a beast. It's my family's Huang. You can give it back to me." Luo Kai suppressed his increasingly uncontrollable emotions and said with restraint.
The ferocious beast in the cage was obviously very close to this person. Everyone in the villa could not help but look at Su Wenlin suspiciously. Good heavens, you people of the Three-Eyed Race stole someone else's things, and now the person in question is here. This is going to be interesting. No matter how evil the human civilization was behind the scenes, they still had to be righteous on the surface. That is to say, you can travel the world with reason, but without reason, you can't move an inch. Moreover, the Three-Eyed Race had always been known for their benevolence and righteousness, which was also the foundation of the Three-Eyed Race.
Su Wenlin's expression changed, and he sneered, "Haha, this is ridiculous. This beast was caught by my father from the sea. How did it become yours?"
Luo Kai still said patiently, "It's really my family's Huang Huang. Once, Huang Huang was seriously injured. After it recovered, its body mutated. I released it back into the sea. It's fine if you don't want to return it to me, but I hope you can release it back into the sea."
"Hmph, even if this beast was originally your pet, it has already evolved into a beast. You should know very well what a beast means to humans. If it can't be used by us, it must be killed. This is the consensus of all the human countries, and also the rule of the Three Great Associations. Do you want to go against it?"
Luo Kai lowered his head and tried to suppress his surging Qi and blood. He said in a hoarse voice, "Huang is a good dog. It will never hurt anyone."
Su Wenlin sneered, "Go and read the history books. If it wasn't for the beast, we humans would have become the world's overlords. Today, I won't argue with you about breaking into my house. Get out of here while I'm in a good mood. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Following Su Wenlin's words, Luo Kai's heart beat faster and faster. At the same time, the Evil Qi in his chest moved faster and faster. He found it harder and harder to control his emotions. His eyes, which were as bright as stars, were gradually covered with a layer of black light.
The scene became silent, and the air seemed to have become a little heavy. A faintly discernible pressure shrouded the hearts of everyone in the hall. Their faces couldn't help but turn pale.
Huang, who was in the cage, also felt the pressure. It suddenly became silent, and its small eyes stared at Luo Kai, full of reluctance. Its intelligence was very high, and it was no less than a ten-year-old child. Naturally, it understood that Luo Kai was about to fight with the other humans for it.
Su Wenlin's expression became serious, and the crack on his forehead opened and closed slightly. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect this guy, who didn't dare to show his face, to be able to use spiritual pressure. Could it be that he was a high level Physique Warrior?
At this time, Su Hsiao-mei suddenly said, "Big brother, I don't want this birthday gift anymore. Give it back."
Su Wenlin said with a gloomy face, "Little sister, this is no longer your personal matter. Someone is bullying our Su family."
As his voice fell, orderly footsteps and noisy inquiries came from outside. Soon, a large number of soldiers swarmed in and aimed their guns at Luo Kai. There were also many people in front of the window looking in. Lu Qing was also in the crowd, looking into the villa in confusion.
