Chapter 1142 The Returnee's Notes 216
Another day spent in the library.
Lin Qiuyan, who was engrossed in her textbook, glanced silently at Xie Ning, who was working on a blank sheet of paper. Xie Ning was too diligent. She remembered that Xie Ning had already completed all the basic courses and even won first place in a competition last year.
What I'm doing now are all professional topics I got from my professors.
Lu Qi is off today, and Gao Xiaohan went to participate in club activities, so it's just her and Xie Ning today.
On the way back to the dormitory after class, Lin Qiuyan couldn't help but ask Xie Ning what major she wanted to specialize in. Xie Ning didn't hide anything; she wanted to study engineering, which was a little different from her previous major, but it was the direction she wanted to develop in now.
Lin Qiuyan herself was still somewhat confused. After all, they were all young, smart, and easy to learn, but they didn't know which direction to take.
Xie Ning couldn't make the decision for Lin Qiuyan either.
Not only Lin Qiuyan in their dormitory didn't know which subject to choose, but even Lu Qi, who seemed more mature, was still hesitating.
Gao Xiaohan, however, had already made up her mind: "Of course I want to be an astronaut!"
"Ahem, of course, it's not about going to space myself, but about studying hard for the sake of our country's space program." She will never forget the excitement she felt when she saw the first astronaut return as a child.
However, she hasn't finished her basic studies yet, so it's too early to talk about these things.
Xie Ning had already completed the basic courses. After the exams, she applied to her advisor and tutor to transfer to a class specializing in her major. Naturally, she didn't need to change her dormitory.
She simply stopped attending classes with Lu Qi and the others, and Xie Ning also minored in two mechanical engineering majors.
Seeing Xie Ning getting busier and busier, often studying until late at night, the other three in the dormitory also started to work up a following suit, as if they were being whipped.
Since starting her major studies, Xie Ning has rarely participated in any competitions. Instead, she often goes to the laboratory and stays there for the whole day.
Professor Wang, who taught Xie Ning and others, greatly admired Xie Ning and would lead Xie Ning and four other outstanding students in research outside of regular classes.
It's a small team.
Furthermore, Xie Ning not only joined this team, but also joined Professor Zhong's team in the mechanical engineering field.
Her minor in mechanical engineering was her specialty, which made Professor Zhong very eager to recruit her. She couldn't understand why Xie Ning, who clearly had a higher aptitude for this subject, chose to major in another.
Privately, Professor Zhong secretly asked Xie Ning if she hadn't researched her major when she chose it, and even offered to help Xie Ning change her major.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Xie Ning major in the subject she teaches.
Xie Ning naturally declined. Her minor in mechanical engineering was simply an attempt to pursue both fields simultaneously, and the knowledge she possessed in this area was already ahead of the development level of this era.
Now it's just a guiding role.
Professor Zhong, filled with resentment, cut down the flowers that Professor Wang kept in his office to vent his anger.
However, what made Professor Zhong somewhat gratified was that Professor Wang's research had not yet yielded any significant results, while her research was progressing at a rocket-like pace.
She initially only researched automation, specifically artificial intelligence and machinery.
Professor Zhong was unaware that if it weren't for the limitations of current materials and the overall level of scientific research, Xie Ning could have raised the level of this research even higher.
After all, she had studied artificial intelligence before, and mechanical engineering was her specialty.
Therefore, apart from going on missions with Ouyang Lin and the others during holidays, Xie Ning never returned to No Return Town.
Ouyang Lin was also surprised by Xie Ning's busy schedule. She was a little embarrassed to ask Xie Ning to work on a case with her, but of course that was impossible.
Xie Ning is also conducting research in this area, concerning magic and the energy between souls, but unfortunately, progress is slow.
Therefore, the practice of entrusting others with tasks is indispensable.
Ouyang Lin asked in bewilderment, "You just need to learn this technique, what, do you think you can come up with something more elaborate?"
After Xie Ning got into the car, he took off his mask. "The existence of magic must have its reasons. If we can study it thoroughly, we might be able to replace people with specific machines instead of people, and perhaps even make it more powerful, such as the lightning-summoning technique."
There is actually related research on this, although it has nothing to do with magic or spells, it is just some simple scientific research.
Therefore, Xie Ning read some documents and then combined them with his own knowledge of lightning-inducing techniques, and found it feasible.
Ouyang Lin quietly wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Xiao Ning, do you mean you want to make a machine to attract lightning? Just like we use magic to attract lightning?"
Of course she wouldn't.
Xie Ning nodded. Ouyang Lin stared blankly at the road ahead for a long time before finally managing to say, "Metaphysics and science don't seem to have anything to do with each other."
Can these two things really be studied together? Has the world gone mad, or has she gone mad?
Aren't magic spells something mysterious and elusive? They rely on enlightenment; can they be clearly explained on paper like 1+1=2?
Xie Ning, however, did not think so. He believed that the reason why the world found it mysterious was simply because people's level of understanding had not reached that level.
Just as people a thousand years ago could not understand modern communication technology, transmitting sound over long distances might have seemed like a kind of "magic" to them.
Before she had actually seen magic and spirits, she thought they were just things that existed only in books, false and fabricated.
