Chapter 31 The Germination of Infinite Scale (Part 1)
Due to the European Reformation, Protestantism and Catholicism had been in opposition a long time ago.
Protestantism is different from Catholicism. As the core sect in Britain today, Protestantism is extremely tolerant to all walks of life. This can be understood as a big reward for opening a business, so the benefits are quite favorable.
However, from a historical perspective, it is worthy of recognition that Protestantism abolished Catholic indulgences.
Therefore, guided by a relatively enlightened mind, Yaerlin did not delve too deeply into deep-seated issues such as whether Xu Yun was a believer or whether he had been baptized, and quickly let William and his party in.
The interior space of St. Tidodia Church is very large. The upper and lower floors can accommodate about 800 to 1,000 people for sitting and standing. At the front is a high platform for preaching and a place for the choir to stand.
After entering the church, William's family found a seat in the middle on the left side as their seats for the service.
After some debugging, we finally settled on a seating arrangement with seven people seated and Liilani sitting on Mrs. William's lap.
After about half an hour, a choir came to the front of the podium, and everyone in the church stood up at the same time and sang hymns.
Since Xu Yun's knowledge of hymns is limited to the song "Hallelujah" which has a very similar rhythm to "Love My China", during this process, he could only hum and chirp like a wooden man, which was quite frivolous.
appearance.
After the hymn was sung, Pastor Yaerlin, whom he had met before, walked up to the main podium.
After a simple prayer, the formal sermon began.
Yaerlin is talking about the Gospel of Matthew today, and there happens to be a passage in it that Xu Yun is quite familiar with:
"What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own life? What can a man give in exchange for his life?"
Xu Yun was not a believer, but this sentence inexplicably made him feel something for a long time, and he remembered it unknowingly.
Some of them can be regarded as famous aphorisms like "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror has no stand." Even those who are not religious people have heard it several times.
The entire sermon lasted for an hour and a half. Xu Yun listened to the whole process half-concentrated and half-seriously. The second half was basically spent observing other people in the church.
After the sermon was finished, Yaerlin wiped the sweat from his forehead with some difficulty and said:
“Hallelujah!
Dear people of God, please ask our Lord to bless each of your families, may your feet become beautiful, and may one day we all receive honor together!
Next, everyone is asked to stand up and receive Holy Communion!”
Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately stood up.
Another moment passed.
The solemn and heavy piano sound sounded, and the choir continued to sing hymns.
Pastor Yaerlin personally carried a small fat man, followed by three or four people, starting from the front row and walking backward.
Xu Yun and his group were located in the middle of many seats, so it didn't take long for Yaerlin to arrive in front of them.
The rules of Holy Communion are actually very simple:
On the plate in Yaerlin's hand was a small wooden plate with a piece of sesame cake the size of a fingernail on it. Next to it was a wine flask. Everyone could use their own cup to hold some wine.
According to the requirements, everyone only needs to drink the sesame cakes and wine.
Xu Yun had already heard this link introduced by Xiao Niu on his way here, so when it was his turn, he didn't resist too much and generously picked up the sesame cakes and wine and swallowed them.
After all, this is not a religious initiation ceremony, it is just a kind of church etiquette of gratitude. Normally Xu Yun would definitely not take the initiative to touch it, but if it really comes to this juncture, he will not be too resistant.
Under normal circumstances, the wine of the Holy Communion is most often wine, which symbolizes the blood of the Son of God.
However, due to the current interruption of cargo shipping, there is not much left in Grantham's wine, so Arling used newly brewed cider to replace the former.
The color of apple cider is actually more like 'blood' than wine, but the taste of fresh apple cider is far inferior to wine - especially if it uses apples like Bramley, which are extremely acidic.
Therefore, as soon as he took his mouth, Xu Yun's taste buds felt a strong sour taste.
However, as the drink entered his stomach, Xu Yun's hand holding the wooden wine glass suddenly froze, and a flash of lightning flashed in his mind:
He figured out what to use to make his first money!
Yes, that's it!
After the Holy Communion session, William and his party carefully packed up the packages (mainly holy books and leaf bags) and then left the church.
Unlike when they came, Xu Yun and others did not have any accidents on their way back, and they only exchanged a few words with a few villagers who were traveling with them.
After walking and resting like this for more than three hours, the eight of them finally returned to the small village of Woolsthorpe.
Later, two young men, Xiao Niu and Xu Yun, said goodbye to William's family at the intersection of the village and returned to their homes.
As soon as he returned to the garden room, Maverick took out the piece of paper Hook left for him and said:
"Fat Fish, don't say anything yet and listen to my solution."
Xu Yun readily agreed. After all, according to Mavericks' mentality, Xu Yun is just an auxiliary 'tool man', and the problem-solving ideas must be solved by himself:
"Go ahead, Mr. Newton."
When Hooker left, he read Hooker's question, and describing it in words is actually very simple:
Suppose you have a marble and let it roll around in an irregular pit. You know the relationship V(r) between the depth of the pit and the abscissa. Then find the properties of this function, that is
Calculating the space occupied by an undeformed continuous medium.
"Here's what I think."
Mavericks quickly drew a schematic diagram on the paper and said:
"If framed in the Cartesian coordinate system, assuming that the marble is a particle, the interaction is only x at a close distance.
Then the component of the force exerted on each small piece inside the medium can be regarded as exerted on the surface of the medium, so a certain amount of force density should correspond to a certain amount on the surface."
Xu Yun continued to nod. The 'certain quantity' in Maverick's mouth was actually volume integral and table integral.
Being able to start with integrals shows that Mavericks' calculus framework is not too far away from being completed at this time, which is undoubtedly good news.
"Then we assume that ￡
Calculation......"
At this point, Maverick suddenly stopped and stopped talking.
