Luo Deng shakes his head and whispers to Feng Ming’s ear, “He was rescued from the outside of the city gate by the old craftsman of our Xiao family workshop a few years ago, after waking up, he looked so pitiful, so i took him in. Looking at his appearance, It’s like there’s something wrong with your brain and he doesn’t know how to communicate with others. According to his master, Zhu Xuan usually stays alone, after learning some skills, he likes to knock and hit on things that no one else has ever seen before. However, he recognizes the size of the graphics more accurately than anyone else and the best in making things according to the drawings of all his master’s apprentices. This one is the last person to leak secrets, so when his master fell ill, this subordinate a.s.signed him the work. Don’t know how he did according to the drawing this time, but he completely made another strange thing.”
As Feng Ming listened, he looked at the ‘weapon-making master’ who was greater than he had expected and thought to himself, this looked a bit like a mild autism, but he didn’t know whether it was congenital or acquired.
Feng Ming asks Rong Hu to take the model and put it in front of Zhu Xuan and gently asks, “You see, this is the model you made. I originally wanted to make a trebuchet, as a result, you not only added the design of the winch, but also incorporated a concept similar to a crossbow gun. Did you know? This is a very powerful weapon.”
This time, unexpectedly, the skinny Zhu Xuan nods immediately.
Feng Ming and others are slightly surprised, and everyone quickly exchanged a doubtful look.Feng Ming asks, “Zhu Xuan, you intentionally modified the drawing that Luo Deng gave you to you want to make a powerful weapon, right?”
Rong Hu is alert at this time and interjects, “Where did you learn mathematical sciences?”
His question is crucial.
Because in this era, it’s not easy for ordinary people to learn to read and ordinary people don’t have the opportunity to come into contact with mathematical sciences which is closely related to architecture.
Back then Feng Ming used the principle of leverage that shocked Ruo Yan and others.
The third princess of Fan Jia was also attracted by Feng Ming’s babble up about “Xirei’s number one mathematics and science”. The degree to which mathematics is valued by the privileged cla.s.s can be seen from this.
Science is a kind of acc.u.mulation and summary of knowledge.
No matter how shocking the talent of Zhu Xuan’s mathematical sciences, it’s impossible for him to achieve such a breakthrough unless he has had the opportunity to come into contact with the most advanced weapon designs in the world today.
The teacher who picked him up in the Xiao family taught him some exquisite craftsmans.h.i.+p at most, but he could never teach such a design idea.
For a moment, Feng Ming, Rong Hu, Luo Yun, Luo Deng, four pairs of eyes are fixed on him. Zhu Xuan doesn’t seem to know that his answer is being followed nervously by many people, he stands there and doesn’t seem to understand why everyone suddenly stare at him.
Feng Ming has no choice but to repeat Rong Hu’s question again, as if coaxing to a child, “Zhu Xuan, haven’t you learned mathematics? Do you remember who taught you mathematics?”
Zhu Xuan seems to have heard clearly this time, and his lips which have been tightly closed, finally moved.
Since the beginning of the conversation, he hasn’t said a word except to nod, now he’s finally willing to speak, his words are as precious as words and only says three words in total.
But these three words are more powerful than three hundred words.
He tells a name, “Dong Fang Tian.”
As soon as the name came up, almost everyone gasped.
Dong Fang Tian, isn’t he the famous arithmetic master in the world? His position in the field of mathematics and sciences is like Xiao Zong’s position in swordsmans.h.i.+p, he is definitely a top master!
What’s more terrible is that this funny old man who is proficient in mathematics and sciences is still a Li Kingdom people. At that time he took him to Fan Jia together with the intention to seduce the third princess of Fan Jia as the newly appointed King, but was destroyed by Feng Ming.
Therefore, Feng Ming is also considered to have a relations.h.i.+p with Dong Fang Tian.
Rong Hu’s thick eyebrows frown and looks at Zhu Xuan with a serious vigilance in his eyes, “Are you a Li Kingdom people?”
Luo Yun stares at Zhu Xuan and coldly says, “Even if he’s Li Kingdom people, it is impossible to learn this kind of thing unless he’s royal family or n.o.ble. Young Master, the man’s origin is unknown and he deliberately made strange things to attract Young Master’s attention, it’s clear that he has a plan, it is better to hand over him to this subordinate and this subordinate will interrogate clearly.”
