Black Corporation: Joseon

Chapter 1039: That thrilling name… Biography. (7)

Through the combination of various necessities and coincidences, the problem of talent shortage in places such as research institutes that require highly educated people was largely solved. But just as there is shadow when there is light, a problem also arose.

In all areas that required mathematical expressions, such as statistics, as well as in advanced industry and academia, which could be said to be fundamental, large quantities of Greek language (also ancient) and arithmetic symbols known only to those who first created mathematical expressions began to overflow.

The reason why this happened was because scholars are also human and many scholars are mystics. Scholars from Europe and the Middle East working in research institutes and other institutions had similar feelings of pride or awareness.

-Greece was the first to start devising the principles of all things in a rational way!

-The wise men of ancient Greece deserve respect!

Because of this pride or awareness, many variables in the formula were expressed using the ‘ancient’ Greek alphabet. This was especially severe among scholars who were monks from Europe. This was because the conservatives in the Vatican had a strong habit of going to various lengths to preserve and pass down the classics.

Another problem was that most scholars from Europe and the Middle East were mystics. Although there were many ‘pure’ scholars from Europe and the Middle East, the overwhelming majority of scholars, especially in chemistry and physics, were alchemists. And most alchemists were mystics.

Finding a way to turn lead into gold, or finding a way to make the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ or ‘Elixir’, most of these things were unthinkable without mysticism. The large-scale influx of Jewish scholars there was a situation that would best be described as ‘to make matters worse.’ Many of the new Jewish scholars were ‘Kabbalists’ who believed in and studied Jewish mysticism.

Whether in Europe or the Middle East, mystics were persecuted. Therefore, they used symbols and words that only they knew, and these habits created problems. The pride of scholars also played a role.

-Will you foolish people understand these formulas created with My excellent knowledge and wisdom?

-Only me and my students need to understand this formula!

Therefore, whenever scholars came up with a new formula, there were longer footnotes explaining the meaning of various symbols in the formula.

-I’ll show you some generosity and at least explain the meaning. Praise my excellence!

As time passed, this problem became more serious. Even though it was created by the same person, it reached a point where the same symbol had different meanings if the formula was different, leading senior scholars to ask Hyeon for help.

“Isn’t it okay for you guys to come forward?”

Senior scholars bowed their heads in response to Hyeon’s question.

“It’s not easy because they all have sky-high pride. They won’t be able to overcome their sense of entitlement and will see it as finding fault.”

“I already think so.”

From the answers of the elder scholars, Hyeon was able to understand why the elders came to him.

‘Pride is suppressed with greater authority, is this it?’

“I understand. Let Jim think about the answer.”

“Hwang Eun is devastated.”

After sending out the senior scholars, the county let out a long sigh.

“Ha~. That’s what I said, but…”

According to Hyeon’s experience accumulated since his days as the crown prince, this was not an issue that could be easily resolved even if he himself took action. Pride In particular, the pride of those who had achieved great heights in one field was unrivaled. Of course, there were people who were humble despite their high status, but the number of such people was very small.

‘There is a reason why such people are respected by everyone.’

Therefore, it was certain that if the emperor’s authority was used to force a move, there would be a greater backlash.

“The correct answer is that you have to press it with skill…. Even though I think it’s pretty easy, I can’t come up with an answer because the white thing is paper and the black thing is letters.”

Hyun’s eyes lit up as he looked through various papers from the research institute.

“what?”

Even those who created arbitrary formulas used the symbols for the four arithmetic operations that Hyang had created.

Hyeon stroked his chin and muttered.

“Just… if it’s the situation…”

Even scholars with high self-esteem would bow their heads in front of incense and then fall to the ground. Something like the knowledge of scent. There was no one who could show off in front of the results so far. Hyun stood up and ordered the eunuch.

“I’m going to Sugang Palace. Let Tae Sang-tae know.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

* * *

Hyang, who heard the story from Hyeon and heard more detailed stories through various channels, sighed and burst into laughter.

“Heh, everything comes from Greece…. It’s not even the ‘Chinese origin theory of everything,’ you’re saying something that would make Egyptians angry if they heard it.”

In the 21st century, Chinese people who are addicted to excessive China-first ideology have become a subject of ridicule by claiming the following. Hyang, who briefly recalled memories of her past life, soon came to her senses and sighed as she looked at the papers posted by scholars.

“Whew. No matter how mystical it is, even a thesis is written in such a way… Is this a thesis or a collection of poems? Since it was written like this, all kinds of conspiracy theories started popping up, like Freemasonry and Illuminati.”

In the end, Hyang called all the scholars to Sugang Palace. Large tents were spread out in the wide yard in front of Myeongjeongjeon at Suganggung Palace, and invited scholars sat on chairs and waited for the incense. After a while, Hyang appeared and opened his mouth to the scholars.

“The reason I have called you today is because I have something I want to tell you. First of all, when I look at the results you have posted so far, I cannot hide my satisfaction at seeing the effort you have put in. Because of your efforts, people have learned many principles that they were unaware of until now. “I came to know this. It’s all your fault.”

All the scholars gathered in the room bowed their heads to the scent.

“That’s too much praise!”

“It is truly an honor for Tae Sang-hang to say that!”

It was truly an honor to receive praise from Hyang, who was considered the greatest intellectual of his time. In a warm atmosphere, the scent got to the point.

“But I am even more worried. You have probably heard many things already, but your thesis and formulas are the problem. It is not uncommon for B or Byeong to not recognize the formulas and thesis written by A. This must be resolved. .”

After pointing out the problem, Hyang’s words began to raise eyebrows.

“Are you writing a thesis or a poem right now? A thesis is not something to brag about! A thesis is to have others evaluate what you have devised and think! Others may see it as correct or worth verifying. And until the same results come out and are recognized through that process, everything you come up with is just a hypothesis! But what if you submit a paper using your own expressions and symbols that others cannot understand? Do you think you are confident? “Do you want to be recognized as correct in your theory, or did you just write this paper as a way to show off?”

The scholars’ expressions hardened at Hyang’s harsh remarks. But Hyang’s reprimand did not stop.

“What is the duty of a scholar? It is to reveal the truth of all things in the world! Then why do you have to reveal the truth? It is to teach the people who do not know the truth so that they do not fall into the wrong path! But you are explaining the truth using words and symbols that only you know. If you reveal it, how will the people understand the reason and avoid the wrong path? The behavior you are showing now is neglecting your duties! The place where you work now is a place to devise a reason for the people, not a place for your own entertainment. No! Those who seek only their own satisfaction should leave their workplace immediately!”

Hyang paused for a moment, quenched her throat, and continued speaking.

“Are the words spoken by the ancient sages, the words spoken by Jesus, your founder, and Muhammad while preaching the truth, as complex and difficult as the thesis you wrote? Do you really believe that you are superior to the dogmas of your religion? ! Answer me!”

“Oh no!”

“It has been said since ancient times that ‘the truth is concise,’ and the better those who know the truth, the easier it is to announce the truth. Are you revealing the truth now? Are you asking it into an even darker place?”

Afterwards, Hyang’s reprimands and advice continued. In the end, the scholars gathered at Sugang Palace that day agreed to unify the various symbols and terms used in the paper.

* * *

A new committee was created at the research institute through arbitration rather than the township’s arbitration.

-Academic Terminology Integration and Standardization Promotion Committee.

The task of the long-named committee was to standardize and unify various industry-academia symbols and terms that had been a problem for some time. The committee began work in earnest as signs were put up and people were selected.

No, we went to war. This was because even scholars who had published at least one paper containing their own formulas came forward and insisted that theirs should become the standard. Controversy and verbal warfare broke out, sometimes even gang fights involving disciples, and political corruption and fraud continued to occur.

In the end, the committee members and senior scholars who were tired of this ran to Hyeon again, and Hyeon passed to Hyang.

“Hello, Emperor. I am too old to do such an important task.”

“Only Tae Sang-tae can do this.”

“Huh…”

“Please take a look at me! This is Hwangmyeong!”

“Eng! Hippopotamus!”

Eventually, the scent had to come out again. The way Hyang solved the problem was as follows.

-First, decide on the symbol that symbolizes the variable. It is based on the ancient Greek alphabet.

-Choose the following symbols with the same or similar meaning. And those who created the symbol explain why they created this symbol in front of all scholars.

-Afterwards, the most suitable symbol is selected through a vote by scholars.

-Repeat the above two procedures for other symbols. If a new symbol is created later, the above two procedures are repeated.

-Repeat the above two procedures for terminology.

In this way, issues of terminology and symbols began to be quickly sorted out. What is interesting is that the committee also proceeded with similar procedures. However, the reason for the difference between success and failure was scent and voting.

The difference between the overwhelmingly high presence of incense and the choices of all scholars was what made the difference between success and failure. As the work was almost completed, the results were reported to the county and county.

“Do I see familiar things that gave me trouble when I was in school?”

I didn’t know the scent, but it was a huge butterfly effect. Through this organizing work, trials and errors that had lasted for at least 100 years and nearly 300 years were reduced at once. But the scent was also something to be expected. Hyang looked interested as he looked at the papers that kept coming to him.

“Well, it was something I did, but during this period, a lot of new technologies and knowledge emerged. If this continues, won’t Newton announce the ‘Theory of Relativity’ and Einstein announce ‘Warp Navigation’?”

Hyang, who was imagining things with a face full of curiosity, opened a booklet hidden to one side and picked up a gold pen.

“The theory of relativity and warp… Should I write it down in my journal?”
