"Brother Ziwen, is the dormitory tidied up?" Chen Qiaoyi asked.
"Well, everything is done. How are things on your side?" Zhou Ziwen replied.
"It's pretty good, my roommates are all very friendly," said Chen Shiying.
"That's good. Let's go and take a walk around the campus." Zhou Ziwen said.
They strolled around the campus and admired the beautiful scenery.
There is a large lake on campus. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. The surrounding green trees and teaching buildings are reflected on the lake surface.
There are benches by the lake, where many students sit and read or chat.
"It's so beautiful here. We can come here often to read books in the future," said Chen Qiaoyi.
"Yes, it must be very pleasant to study in such an environment." Chen Shiying agreed.
Afterwards, they came to the school cafeteria.
The cafeteria was crowded with people, and the aroma of various delicious foods filled the air.
They picked out their favorite dishes and sat at the dining table to enjoy them.
"The food in this school is quite delicious and there is a wide variety," said Shen Zhaodi.
"Well, it's much better than we imagined." Tang Yaoyao said.
After dinner, they returned to the dormitory and rested for a while.
In the afternoon, the school organized a freshman meeting. Freshmen from various majors gathered together to listen to speeches from school leaders and teachers.
At the meeting, the school’s faculty, teaching resources and future development direction were introduced.
Zhou Ziwen and his friends listened attentively, gained a deeper understanding of Beijing University, and were full of confidence in their future.
After the meeting, Zhou Ziwen and the two sisters rode their bicycles back to the Zhou family.
As soon as they got home, Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan ran over happily to greet them.
Little Yueyue threw herself into Chen Qiaoyi's arms and said in a baby voice, "Mom, you're back!"
Chen Qiaoyi smiled and picked up her daughter, kissed her cheek, and said, "Yueyue, do you miss your mother?"
Xiao Yueyue nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
Xiao Xuanxuan held Zhou Ziwen's hand and asked curiously, "Dad, is college fun?"
Zhou Ziwen smiled and replied, "It's fun. When you grow up, you can go to college too."
Zhou Ma came out of the kitchen and saw them coming back. She smiled and said, "You're back. How was school?"
Zhou Ziwen said, "Mom, the school is great, the environment is beautiful, and the teachers are great."
Mother Zhou nodded and said, "That's good. Study hard at school and don't let this great opportunity go to waste."
…
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Zhou Ziwen woke up early from bed, washed up simply, and then did some boxing and kicking exercises in the yard.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying also got up one after another. After the three of them enjoyed the breakfast prepared by Zhou Ma, they rode their bicycles to school.
The campus is full of vitality in the early morning. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and onto the ground, forming golden spots of light.
Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang came to the classroom, where many students were already preparing for the textbooks.
They found their seats and sat down. After a while, the professor walked into the classroom.
The first class is a basic course in mechanical engineering - mechanical drawing.
The professor explained in detail the basic principles and specifications of mechanical drawing, skillfully drew various figures on the blackboard, and demonstrated how to use lines to accurately express the shape, size and positional relationship of mechanical parts.
In fact, with his level 6 mechanical manufacturing ability, small skills like mechanical drawing would have reached the maximum level long ago.
Although mechanical drawing skills were already familiar to Zhou Ziwen, he still listened attentively to the professor's explanation.
A good idea can be used to polish a jade, and listening to the professor's lectures can also help him improve his skills.
Zhou Ziwen carefully took notes of the key points of the professor's explanation. Although this knowledge was not unfamiliar to him, he knew that studying in college was not just about mastering skills, but more importantly, it was about cultivating one's thinking ability and problem-solving methods.
During class, the students listened attentively, occasionally raising their hands to ask questions, which the professor patiently answered. Zhou Ziwen noticed that Zhou Chaoyang, also listening attentively, was jotting down his thoughts and questions in his notebook.
During the break, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang walked out of the classroom and into the corridor.
Zhou Chaoyang said excitedly: "Ziwen, this class is really good. I have a deeper understanding of mechanical drawing."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded: "Yes, Professor Liu's level is quite good."
After resting for a while in the corridor, the bell rang and they returned to the classroom to prepare for the next class.
The day's schedule was very full. In addition to mechanical drawing, there were also basic courses such as physics and mathematics, as well as some professional elective courses.
In the physics class, the professor explained basic theoretical knowledge such as classical mechanics and electromagnetism in an easy-to-understand manner.
He helps students understand abstract physics concepts through vivid experimental demonstrations and actual case analysis.
For Zhou Ziwen, although this knowledge is related to his existing knowledge system to a certain extent, the professor's unique explanation angle and in-depth explanation still made him gain a lot.
He was no longer limited to his previous understanding, but thought about the application of physical principles in mechanical engineering from a more macro and in-depth level.
For example, when studying the principle of electromagnetic induction, he began to think about how to apply it to the design of new motors to improve the power conversion efficiency of machinery.
Mathematics classes focus on the complex theories and computational methods of advanced mathematics.
The professor wrote various formulas and derivation processes densely on the blackboard, and the students in the audience were concentrating on following the professor's ideas.
In his professional elective course, Zhou Ziwen chose a course related to mechanical manufacturing technology.
This course introduces in detail the processing technology of various metal materials, the operation and programming of machine tools and equipment, and the development trends of advanced manufacturing technology.
The professor not only explains theoretical knowledge in class, but also takes students to the school's internship factory for field visits and operational demonstrations.
In the internship factory, Zhou Ziwen observed various advanced machine tools and equipment up close, such as CNC machine tools and machining centers, and understood their working principles and operating procedures.
He personally performed some simple processing procedures to feel the impact of different process parameters on the processing quality of parts.
After returning to the classroom from the internship factory, the students were still not satisfied with the visit and operation and started discussing.
Zhou Ziwen actively participated in it. Combining his experience in some simple mechanical processing in the countryside, he shared with his classmates his understanding of the characteristics of different processing technologies.
He said: "In rural areas, we don't have such advanced equipment. We rely more on manual operations and simple tools for mechanical processing."
"For example, when we polish wood or iron by hand, we need to control the force and angle very carefully to ensure that the processed parts meet the requirements. Although it is not very efficient, this process has given me a deeper understanding of the details of mechanical processing," Zhou Ziwen continued.
The students listened with great interest and expressed surprise at Zhou Ziwen's experience. (End of this chapter)
