At this moment, Xu Yun, dressed in everyday attire, was mistaken by a scholar with the surname Ou as a member of the numerical calculation group, who then asked:

"Brother, what are your insights?"

"Me?"

Xu Yun paused slightly, and after confirming that the question was directed at him, he pondered for a moment and said:

"I dare not claim any profound insights, but I can barely judge the correctness of the direction of the problem-solving."

The scholar with the surname Ou exchanged a glance with the scholar surnamed Zou. They did not underestimate Xu Yun's age, as anyone who could enter this courtyard was no novice:

"Problem-solving direction? Please, brother, elaborate."

Xu Yun thought for a moment, gesturing the shape of a combustion chamber:

"According to the engine's design drawings, it is known that the intake port and the interface are level."

"From this, it can be inferred that the temperature within the combustion chamber must vary, meaning the temperature near the fire zone is higher than the front of the pressure wave."

"According to formula 39 in the manual, a pressure wave is a type of sound wave, and the speed of sound is functionally related to temperature."

"Therefore, when it rebounds off the section, the situation where a rear wave chases a front wave inevitably occurs, and can only be approached with a gradual curve."

Saying this, Xu Yun could not help but look at the scholar with the surname Zou:

"Therefore, I do not dare to assert that Brother Zou's data has no calculation errors, but at least I can confirm his reasoning is not wrong."

"If we repeat the calculations a few more times, we will surely arrive at an accurate value."

Clap clap clap—

Just as Xu Yun finished speaking, applause suddenly emerged from the side.

Xu Yun followed the sound with his gaze.

Unbeknownst to him, Liu Yi had quietly arrived at his side.

Liu Yi applauded while laughing:

"Mr. Wang has a clear mind and hits the mark with his words. His speech is concise and to the point, which I greatly admire."

Seeing Liu Yi appear, the scholars' expressions immediately turned respectful, and they respectfully said:

"Greetings, Leader."

Xu Yun also bowed his hands:

"Mr. Jinqu, it's been a long time."

Liu Yi returned the greetings one by one to everyone, then pointed to Xu Yun and said to all present:

"Several of you may not know, this is the famous 'Daily Update 30,000' Wang Xiaochun, also known as Mr. Coder."

"The 'Standard Manual' you've all been studying day and night is a work of Mr. Coder and Mr. Tongyu."

Upon hearing this introduction from Liu Yi, the scholar surnamed Ou was immediately taken aback and stood up solemnly:

"So it is the renowned Mr. Coder Xiaochun, I have long admired your name, forgive my rudeness."

Xu Yun also bowed slightly, appearing very calm.

It's the same old story.

'Daily Update 30,000' refers to Wang Lin, and what does that have to do with Xu Yun?

Afterward, he bid farewell to everyone, and strolled around the courtyard with Liu Yi.

"Mr. Jinqu."

Looking at the scholars calculating data by candlelight in the courtyard, Xu Yun asked proactively:

"Have things been going smoothly these days?"

Liu Yi nodded, casually pointing to the area where the calculators were most concentrated, smiling:

"Things have been going relatively smoothly, with team members coming from all over, ranging from disenchanted clerks to ordinary instructors of Meng Xue, and even some reclusive hermits."

"If not for His Highness's summon, everyone probably would find it hard to witness such a grand numerical spectacle in their lifetime, naturally cherishing it even more."

"Now we have calculated and verified more than fifty sets of data, averaging seven sets per day, which is much higher than the expected five sets."

Liu Yi's expression was somewhat emotional; he was indeed speaking from the heart.

Although ancient Huaxia produced many famous mathematicians, few truly made a name in history.

Except for a few isolated examples.

Most numerical scholars were just ordinary small officials or regular instructors in Meng Xue.

Even famous ones like Old Jia from that time have only a record of unknown birth and death dates in historic texts.

Let alone other ordinary people.

Therefore, upon learning that the Emperor...to be more precise, the Court had invited them, along with generous subsidies.

Almost all numerical scholars who received letters accepted the recruitment.

In a certain sense.

Such a scale of mathematicians working collectively on calculations had never been seen before, not just in the Song Dynasty, but throughout history.

Therefore, Liu Yi calling it a grand spectacle was indeed sincere.

Then Xu Yun thought for a moment and asked:

"Mr. Jinqu, where might Mr. Tongyu be?"

The night was somewhat dim at this time, Liu Yi looked around, then pointed to a quiet corner room:

"Mr. Tongyu is in that room, Mr. Wang, shall we go and have a look?"

Xu Yun nodded:

"Much appreciated."

Following Liu Yi's lead, the two quickly arrived at the door of the room.

However, Xu Yun did not rush to knock on the door.

Instead, he went to the window and peered inside through the meticulously placed glass.

As soon as he saw the situation inside the room, he was a bit stunned:

Inside this approximately forty-square-meter room, stacks of calculation papers were piled up.

Some calculation papers were neatly packed and placed in a corner.

Others were scattered haphazardly on the floor.

At the two tables in the room sat Old Jia and Han Gonglian, both engrossed in calculations.

From time to time, they would yawn and rub their eyes.

But they quickly regained their focus and continued working.

From their demeanor, it was easy to discern that these two expended far more energy than ordinary calculators.

Seeing this, Xu Yun couldn't help but turn to Liu Yi and ask:

"Mr. Jinqu, this is...?"

Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, let out a quiet sigh, and said:

"Mr. Wang, the manual you and Mr. Tongyu authored is good, but ultimately, it's just a lifeless object."

"Just as you saw earlier, some situations are bound to cause disputes during actual practice."

"Therefore, Mr. Tongyu came up with a method to divide each task among three groups for calculation. Each group first engages in discussion to determine a unified number for reporting."

"If all three groups report the same number, it is temporarily compiled to await Master Qi's practical verification."

"But if any of the three groups reports a different result, it is handed over to Mr. Tongyu and Mr. Yang Huai for re-verification."

"Certainly, this approach will inevitably lead to some errors, but it's already the best method we can do."

Xu Yun said nothing upon hearing this.

After a while.

He looked at Liu Yi thoughtfully, especially lingering on his eye bags for a few seconds, a flash of understanding crossing his mind:

"Mr. Jinqu, you are likely one of those responsible for re-verification too, right?"

Liu Yi pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth and said:

"There's no choice, the six of us who attended classes at Su Mansion are the only ones capable of re-verification right now."

"Mr. Wang, did you know that on the day of the team's formation, Mr. Tongyu had already left behind a will?"

"Just yesterday, Mr. Yang Huai welcomed a newborn at home, yet he didn't take leave to go to his family."

Then he turned around and looked at the face illuminated by candlelight in the courtyard:

"Mr. Wang, it's not just the six of us; the entire team of calculators numbers three hundred and thirteen. Some may have made mistakes due to issues of ability, but not one has shirked or slacked off."

"We all know the truth, who isn't tired? Who wants to be tired? But this is flying to the sky!

"Every ten-thousandth digit calculation we make may allow the plane to rise a foot higher."

"Huaxia, over thousands of years since the days of Yan and Huang, has never conquered the sky, but now, we have the chance to do so."

Saying this, Liu Yi looked at Xu Yun, and there was a sparkle in his eyes:

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Su once privately told us, your talent is unmatched through the ages, a rarity in the world. If you say it can, it truly can."

"We may not be able to keep pace with your steps, but we can give you a push as much as we can."

"We don't seek to be recorded in history, but merely wish to personally witness Huaxia's unprecedented journey to the sky, as Mr. Tongyu said when he wrote his will, to die without regret!"

Xu Yun quietly listened to Liu Yi's words, a special feeling surging unexpectedly.

He wanted to tell Liu Yi.

Actually, I am just a transmigrator from the future, possessing merely the relatively complete knowledge of the future.

The truly great and remarkable ones are not me,

But you, the great sages...

In the future, we have not only conquered the sky but have reached out to the cosmos.

The Mozi satellite and the Zhurong Mars rover are tributes and praises to the ancestors.

Thinking about this.

He couldn't help but gaze at the sky.

Tonight's starry sky was void of a single cloud.

The bright moon hung high, and the starlight was brilliant.

But in Xu Yun's view.

The starlight tonight was not in the heavens but here on earth.

December 8, 1100 AD.

Though there was no snow, it was when Huaxia's stars shone brightly.
