They left the factory chatting and laughing.
Gu Zhiyuan first took Xu Ningyan to the dormitory at the department store, and was about to leave.
Xu Ningyan suddenly remembered: "Don't go yet. I went to the junkyard today and found a few books that might be useful to you. Let me show them to you."
She went inside and came out a moment later, bringing out the basic reference books she had picked up at the recycling station that day, as well as the one she had painstakingly created that afternoon, and handed them to Gu Zhiyuan.
It was so heavy that Gu Zhiyuan was caught off guard and stumbled, almost twisting his ankle.
After I steadied myself, I immediately spotted the title of the first book in the room, "Principles and Applications of Modified Gears," and was both surprised and delighted.
For a moment, he didn't pay attention to Xu Ningyan. After quickly flipping through the books in his hands, he suddenly looked up at Xu Ningyan.
In his dark eyes, an indescribable tremor surged, wanting to break free, yet it was firmly suppressed.
After a long while, she seemed to squeeze out a voice from her chest, slightly trembling: "A-Ning, thank you!"
Xu Ningyan felt a chill run down her spine when Gu Zhiyuan looked at her; she felt as if she had been locked onto by a ferocious beast.
However, Gu Zhiyuan quickly composed himself, and his eyes returned to their usual calm.
The feeling of being watched closely finally subsided.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "As expected of a big shot, his aura is as fierce as a beast when he gets excited."
Luckily, I chose to curry favor with the big shot instead of going against him. Otherwise, just being stared at for a few moments would have made my legs go weak and my heart race!
He quickly waved his hand, "We're family, no need for formalities! As long as it helps you, brother, don't be so polite. Do you think I'm an outsider?"
Gu Zhiyuan raised his dark eyes, chuckled softly for once, and used his free hand to tuck Xu Ningyan's wind-blown hair behind her ear.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt Gu Zhiyuan's fingers slide down her ear and brush against her earlobe.
Instantly separate.
Xu Ningyan assumed that Gu Zhiyuan had bumped into him by accident and didn't take it to heart.
"It's getting late, brother, you should go back and rest early!" He added a couple more words of advice to Gu Zhiyuan.
Gu Zhiyuan nodded, then glanced at Xu Ningyan and said gently, "You should go inside too and get some sleep! What do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll bring it over for you!"
Xu Ningyan shook her head: "Brother Gu, you go ahead with your work, don't worry about me! I'll just eat at the state-run restaurant tomorrow! After that, I'll browse around the other scrap yards, maybe I'll find something else!"
Since he couldn't sell goods on the black market anyway, Xu Ningyan decided to buy them from a scrap yard!
Space is the greatest cheating tool.
Gu Zhiyuan felt that his heart, which had been hardened and seemingly unmovable, was slowly but irresistibly melting.
Her eyes held a tenderness and emotion she herself was unaware of.
His voice was a little hoarse: "Okay!"
Watching Gu Zhiyuan ride his bicycle out of the department store courtyard, Xu Ningyan turned and went into her dormitory.
She had given all the reference books to Gu Zhiyuan anyway, and whether he could learn them or how much he could learn was not something she could worry about.
Feeling completely at ease, she had a wonderful sleep.
Little did they know, Gu Zhiyuan didn't sleep a wink that night.
Aside from the few intact reference books, what shocked him most was the inconspicuous one that was riddled with holes.
The knowledge contained within was so vast that it was unheard of and far beyond his comprehension.
A completely new technological concept that surpasses current domestic and even international standards.
He didn't know how this book ended up in China, but in his opinion, the knowledge and technical concepts in the book were far ahead of the present era.
Furthermore, some names of people or places have been blacked out or scraped off due to the dates mentioned above.
I don't know who the author is, nor do I know who the geniuses mentioned in the book are who created these mechanical products with advanced concepts, detailed steps, and explanations.
Gu Zhiyuan didn't dare to blink, and he was even more reluctant to go to sleep.
I wish I could understand and absorb everything in this book overnight.
He understood the importance of this book all too well! If he could understand and learn from it, not only would the current problem in the machinery factory be solved, but the overall level of mechanical design in the country would likely be greatly improved.
So how could he dare to fall asleep? He was terrified that it was all a dream, and that the book would disappear when he woke up.
Sun Zhou didn't quite understand why Gu Zhiyuan locked himself in his room as soon as he came back and didn't turn off the lights all night.
When I opened the door in the morning, I saw Gu Zhiyuan with huge dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been punched and his eyes were bruised.
However, Gu Zhiyuan seemed to be in a very good mood and spirits.
After breakfast, we went to the machine factory.
Sun Zhou reminded him that Lin's father had to go to work during the day and probably wouldn't have time to see him. If there was anything, he should wait until Lin's father got off work.
Gu Zhiyuan barely managed to suppress his excitement and calm down.
He locked himself in his room all day, and Sun Zhou had to remind him to eat and drink before he could snap out of his reverie.
It was only when it was almost time to leave work that Sun Zhou's people reminded Gu Zhiyuan to pack up a little and ride his bicycle to the Lin family's house.
When they arrived at the Lin family home, Lin's father had just gotten off work and had only reached the door when he bumped into Gu Zhiyuan.
Mr. Lin couldn't help but nod inwardly. Putting everything else aside, his thirst for knowledge alone was far superior to that of the young people in the factory.
He opened the door and invited Gu Zhiyuan inside.
Several blueprints were missing, and Gu Zhiyuan was asked to look at them first.
Gu Zhiyuan didn't ask any more questions and took the drawings to examine them carefully.
Judging from the signatures at the bottom of the drawings, they should all be drawings made by Lin's father before.
It's obvious at a glance that Lin's father has a solid foundation in the field; no wonder he was able to hold the position of director of the design department at the machinery factory.
There are many things that Gu Zhiyuan can learn from these drawings.
Gu Zhiyuan looked at the blueprints carefully, while Lin's father sat to the side, waiting to ask questions or get answers later.
I felt a pang of regret once again. How could such a promising talent have such a bad family background?
He had previously thought Lu Kai was a rare talent, so he expressed his intention to have Lu Kai succeed him.
In retrospect, it is indeed the flagship program of Beijing University. Gu Zhiyuan, who minored in this major, is far superior to Lu Kai, who also majored in mechanical design at H University.
During their previous conversation, Lin's father had already assessed Gu Zhiyuan's true abilities; his theoretical knowledge was sufficient, even surpassing that of Lu Kai, who was his peer.
What's lacking is practical experience.
So he simply tossed Gu Zhiyuan the blueprints he had drawn earlier and told him to take a look first.
Gu Zhiyuan understood what Lin's father meant by asking him to look at the blueprints. For several days in a row, he came to Lin's father's house at night to look at the blueprints, and then went back home to study them by lamplight, reviewing the blueprints that Lin's father had drawn.
Then, based on the ideas that transcend this era in the book Xu Ningyan gave me, I redraw it again.
