Davers quickly glanced at the audience: those who were angry with each other were probably members of the Pythagoras School. Those who looked at these people with dissatisfaction probably might be students from the school, teachers from the school, some people from Dionia, and some people who were confused did not understand what was going on. And the famous scholars invited in the front row were watching coldly, some were staring at the wall panels with concentration, and some were gestured in their hands, as if they were calculating...

The reason why Mentotic Els, the dean of the School of Mathematics, did not appear here is that Davers knew that this was because he happened to have a severe cold these days, and even his speeches were asked by students to replace him. If he was a steady person here, this would probably not have happened.

Thinking of this, Davers glared at Martycoris again, and then said aloud: "Everyone, this is the palace of academics. In this sacred place full of knowledge, there is no origin, the high and low status, nor the size of the fist or the high and low voice. Everything is true in knowledge! Now I am standing here, not as a king, but as a seeker of knowledge, and seriously asking all the scholars here for advice. Are the arguments made by this young scholar just now wrong?"

"Okay, Your Majesty!" Someone among the audience shouted, and then applause rang out in the venue.

The applause became more and more intense, and Davers had to signal them to keep quiet, and then asked loudly again: "Is there any error in this argument?"

The venue was silent for a while.

A member of the Pythagoras School stood up and said, "Of course there is a mistake!"

There was another loud noise in the venue.

Davers made an invitation gesture calmly and said, "Okay, come up and verify its error!"

The member shook his head and said, "I don't need to go up. This topic itself is wrong. There are no numbers independent of integers and integer ratios at all!"

Davers' face turned gloomy: "The authenticity of knowledge is proved by knowledge, not by playing rogues! If your Pythagoras school still disrupts the venue in this way next, I will not only question your academic level, but also list you as unpopular people at this conference and expel them from Turiyi!"

Davers said in a cold tone: "Now I'll ask again, is this argument correct?"

The members of the Pythagoras School, including Lysis, look at me, and look at you, all of them looked nervous, but none of them stood up to speak. Why was Hippas killed back then? It was because although the members of the Pythagoras School were conservative and stubborn, their mathematical level was definitely top in the Mediterranean. They knew in their hearts that what Hippas verified was correct. For decades, the members of the school have not dared to touch this field, and it is also for this reason. Now of course they dare not stand up alone and turn black and white, and are ridiculed by other scholars for their academic level.

The venue was silent for a while again.

Athenian mathematician Seyattus stood up, and he looked solemn and said slowly: "I think there is no error in Fosterkada's entire argumentation process. The square of the second is indeed a...new number."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted loudly: "You are talking nonsense!"

Davers raised his eyebrows and pointed at him and shouted loudly: "Turn him out for me!"

The soldiers rushed over immediately, raised the man's arm, and dragged him out of the venue.

Davers beat the table hard and said sternly: "I said that if anyone is dissatisfied, he can come up to argue. If anyone makes trouble below, don't blame me for being rude!"

After Davers finished speaking, the noise in the audience became less.

Then several mathematicians from Kuleni stood up one after another, believing that Fosterkada's argument was correct.

"Good, Fosterkada!" Some of the audience shouted, some applauded, and some congratulated Fosterkada. The venue began to be lively.

Members of the Pythagoras School stood up angrily and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Davers said loudly: "Scholars of the Pythagoras School, please listen to me before deciding whether to leave."

Davers' words made Lysis and the others stop for a while.

Davers said with a solemn expression: "We humans have developed from the ignorance of ancient times to today, and have an understanding of the mysteries of nature. It is the result of one sage after another who have worked hard to explore.

Today, you will definitely have richer knowledge and more profound understanding of the world than the great scholars such as Thales, Anaximand, and Pythagoras a hundred years ago. It is not because you are better than them, because you are standing on the shoulders of these giants, inheriting their knowledge, and using this knowledge to discover more knowledge. This is why we Greeks and our entire human beings are constantly growing and growing, becoming more prosperous and stronger. Otherwise, human beings will only stagnate and even eventually die.

Pythagoras was a great scholar. He strengthened the field of mathematics and enriched the application of mathematics in society. However, he was not omniscient and omnipotent. In fact, there is no omniscient person in this world who knows everything and knows everything. Even the powerful god Zeus will ask others to know who will take his place in the future.

Many of the ideas in the Pythagoras School were discovered by later members, and I believe you all know them well. Therefore, of course, he might have made some mistakes because he lacked understanding of the world at that time.

It doesn’t matter if there is a mistake, as long as you can find it and have the courage to correct it! Therefore, Hippasus, an excellent member of your school, discovered this problem of ‘unnatural numbers’!”

Davers patted the wall with his hand and said excitedly: "He said it bravely, based on his true love for mathematics! But the truth is often in the hands of a few people. To defend the truth, it is necessary to pay the price of blood! Hippass died! He died in the fear, conservatism and ignorance of other members of the Pythagoras School!

You stick to a false perception of Pythagoras, and shackles your thoughts and seals your wisdom. You are like ostrich buried in the sand and thinks that you cannot see it. Does this number independent of the ratio of integers and integers do not exist?!"

Davers said this and turned around and asked Fosterkada: "Tell me, how many more are there in this number?"

Fosterkada immediately said loudly: "There are still many, I have not counted it, such as the square of three and the square of five... These numbers mainly exist in geometric operations!"

"Very good!" Davers nodded and said loudly with greater confidence: "I believe that you Pythagorasians must rarely study geometry, because once you study it, you will encounter this problem! I believe that not no one has any questions about this problem, but once they think of Hippasus's tragic experience, they will choose to retreat!

Geometry should be the most important field in mathematics and is closely related to our actual life. But it is sad! Because a wrong understanding has made it a heart disease in mathematical research for a hundred years, it has become a stumbling block for you to perfect and expand the field of mathematics!

Here, I want to give you and everyone here, 'I love my teacher, but I love the truth more!' Because only true truth is the source of the endless life of this world. It is there, only brave people who keep learning, working hard, not afraid of authority, and not afraid of sacrifice can constantly discover it! I look forward to the Dionys Academy, the Pythagoras School and all the scholars here to study the world with such a spirit, then you will definitely have more discoveries, so that our civilization will flourish! That’s all I said."

As soon as Davers finished speaking, the audience stood up, and there were warm cheers sounded from the venue, and even famous scholars such as Seaittus also applauded.

While applauding, Martykoris said excitedly: "That's great! It's my heart! What His Majesty said is exactly why I agreed to let Fosterkada come to give a speech!"

The students next to them didn't have the heart to complain about this teacher who was good at studying and speechless. They were all applauding desperately.

Some members of the Pythagoras School left the venue in anger, while some members led by Lucisch chose to stay.

Davers turned to Faustkada and praised: "You made such a bold speech with your fearless academic spirit. I think scholars in the entire Mediterranean world will be grateful for you because you have cleared a major obstacle to studying mathematics for them! I hope you can always maintain this spirit and make greater achievements in your academic research! More discoveries!"

Fosterkada replied excitedly: "I will, your majesty!"

Davers patted his shoulder with relief, then bowed respectfully to the audience, and then left the venue.

Lysis and others looked at his back with complicated expressions.

Seyattus and others watched him leave with respect.

More listeners greeted him with warmer applause.

This major event that happened at the Mathematics Academy venue soon spread throughout the Dionys Academy. Mathematicians and students were surprised by this new mathematical discovery. While feeling sad for the once dead Hippasos, they were also shocked by the thought-provoking speech of King Dionys at the venue.

Especially Davers's sentence "I love my teacher, I love the truth more." made countless people repeatedly recite it, deeply touched it, and gave young students more motivation.
