Chapter 319 Jiang Caier's Choice
Jiang Caier finally chose Tsinghua University.
This was the result of her discussion with Li Xiang.
Because in the end times, technology is still very important. The emergence of extraordinary particles will ultimately benefit only a small group of people, and the 99% of ordinary people still need to rely on technology to live.
Tsinghua’s engineering background and the engineering physics direction of Qian Xuesen’s Mechanics Class are more in line with the urgency of technological breakthroughs in the end times.
For example, its core major: Engineering Physics (Nuclear Science and Technology).
In the apocalyptic energy crisis, nuclear fusion technology and micro-reactor research and development are the core of the underground city's energy supply. Li Xiang has fished out one of the most advanced American aircraft carriers that has not yet been put into service. The A1B nuclear reactor on board can be said to be the most advanced nuclear reactor in the world. However, Jiang Caier's quantum computer ability can optimize the nuclear reactor control algorithm, improve energy efficiency, and develop more advanced and smaller nuclear reactors or nuclear fuel cells.
In addition, when communicating with the admissions office, the school also agreed to allow her to take several majors concurrently. Jiang Caier picked a few, and the school welcomed them all without any objection.
For example, materials science and engineering.
Li Xiang's crystal vein weapon requires the support of materials science. If Jiang Caier can provide a more optimized formula, perhaps his success rate and grade in condensing extraordinary items will be greatly improved.
Dungeons also require more advanced alloys that are resistant to corrosion by alien beasts, building materials that can withstand extreme climates, etc.
Li Xiang's "Crystal Vein Arms" only produces high-quality products, and they are only for his own team, but what about the other dungeons? If Jiang Caier learns something and develops more advanced new materials, they can be shared. It will be helpful to the entire human civilization.
Of course, sharing is not necessarily free.
There are also biomedical engineering, computer science and artificial intelligence, strategic and security studies, civil engineering, etc.
Biomedical engineering can develop genetic drugs and rapid treatment technologies to deal with radiation sickness and gene mutations. Based on Li Xiang's experience in his previous life, this major is very important.
Needless to say, computer science and artificial intelligence are Jiang Caier's natural fields, but she lacks systematic learning and research. Her knowledge is acquired through self-study, from the Internet and major libraries, but some information, experience, and knowledge may not be circulated on the Internet.
In other words, she was a self-taught person before, but now she has to study systematically. Jiang Caier believes that studying this major at Tsinghua University will help her to move to a higher level.
As for strategic and security research, it involves Li Xiang's positioning and expectations for Jiang Caier's future.
He hopes that Jiang Caier will be able to coordinate the allocation of global shelter resources in the future, including building a global shelter network monitoring system, formulating a survival program, and improving macro-decision-making capabilities.
Although the underground cities are scattered, networking is not a problem. Li Xiang's earth escape ability can make optical cables spread all over the world.
Although civil engineering has declined, it will definitely be used in the expansion and design of new underground cities. It will also be used in the construction of bases in other worlds and outer space, or even new homes in the future.
Of course, if Jiang Caier has spare time, she can also take minor courses in other majors.
Li Xiang also hoped that she could set up her own research team in Tsinghua University and recruit some high-end scientific and technological talents and military talents. When the end of the world comes, Jiang Caier's research institute will definitely move back. How can Jiang Caier do it alone? Wouldn't she be exhausted? Of course, there must be a team.
Tsinghua University is very efficient and the admission letter was delivered very quickly.
Lijia Village was bustling with colorful flags waving, gongs and drums beating, and firecrackers blasting. Jiang Caier's house, inside and outside, was filled with villagers who had come to join in the fun, as well as all kinds of relatives, including many distant relatives that Jiang Caier did not know and had never seen before.
In addition to the three-bedroom, one-living-room house arranged by Tsinghua University, the province, city, county, and county No. 1 Middle School all offered generous rewards, totaling nearly two million yuan. In the words of the villagers, it was like becoming the top scorer in the country and becoming rich overnight.
There is naturally more than enough money for studying.
However, considering the current wealth of Li Xiang and Jiang Caier, these bonuses are just icing on the cake and are more of an honor.
Some companies also approached Jiang Caier to sign advertising endorsements, offering endorsement fees starting at tens of millions. After all, Jiang Caier had appeared on CCTV news and various interviews, and her fame was even greater than Li Xiang's, and her appearance was top-notch, not inferior to Luo Feifei. But Jiang Caier declined all of them.
The main reason is that she has money and she doesn't want to be distracted by doing miscellaneous things.
This was praised by many people, and his reputation became even higher. In particular, some leaders and professors at Tsinghua University were very satisfied with this, and felt that scientific research talents should be like this. If they were obsessed with money, accepted endorsements, and engaged in horizontal work all day long, they would be on the wrong path and ruin their future.
This time, the salary offered by Tsinghua University and Jiang Caier's online popularity exceeded people's imagination.
For example, did the top scorers in the college entrance examination in the past ever have the privilege of a three-bedroom apartment? At most, they were given a single dormitory room. But that house was within the campus of Tsinghua University.
Little did he know that this time, the president of Tsinghua University had learned a piece of news, a very top-secret and shocking news that Jiang Caier was suspected to be a high-level transcendent, and also a scientific research person. Some people judged that she might very well become a great scientist who would go down in history in the future.
The top management of Peking University also got the news from the same channel, but in the end, Peking University failed to compete with Tsinghua University. But that was Jiang Caier's own choice, and there was nothing she could do about it.
If someone else said this to them, they would definitely think that the other person was crazy, mentally ill, and a supernatural being with scientific research attributes? However, their status was relatively high. One month before the college entrance examination, they were called to a meeting, a high-end meeting in the scientific research community, a very confidential one, and the one in the imperial capital personally presided over it.
The participants were all heads, academic leaders or scientific research backbones of famous universities and well-known scientific research institutions, including many scientists from military research institutes. Those who were engaged in military industry had close ties with the military, and many of them were directly affiliated with the military and held military ranks.
At the meeting, the person from the imperial capital gave important instructions on the future direction of scientific research. Then during the tea break of the meeting, the two principals heard someone whispering about Li Xiang and others, especially Jiang Caier, who was still in high school and was about to face the college entrance examination.
Li Xiang reported the impending end of the world. Some astronomers also observed the boundless black fog star field. Although ordinary people were unaware of it, the top leaders had reached a consensus, including some other major countries, who were all worried about this matter.
The direction of scientific research after the end of the world will naturally be different from the current one. This is also one of the purposes of this meeting.
It took the two principals many days to recover from the shocking news, and then they fixed their eyes on Jiang Caier. When Jiang Caier scored 748 points, all their doubts were gone.
They also used their connections to review Jiang Caier's college entrance examination paper and discovered that the two points that were deducted were actually for very simple questions, which could be said to be easy points.
Well, I don’t want the easy-point questions.
This is score control! Is this not a genius or something else? It is said that there is only one extraordinary person with scientific research attributes in the world.
The two principals immediately sent their confidants to ask them to grab Jiang Caier. If they were not worried about the impact being too great and too obvious, they would have wanted to meet her on the spot.
Ultimately, Tsinghua’s disciplines are more suitable for the end times.
Luo Feifei has also been following the news about Jiang Caier. These days, news about Jiang Caier is everywhere, flooding the screen, and her popularity is comparable to hers, which makes Luo Feifei very unhappy.
However, after a brief thought, she felt that Jiang Caier's popularity would only last for this period of time and would gradually fade away in the future, after all, she was not a person in the entertainment industry.
Because Jiang Caier's popularity as the top scorer in the national college entrance examination was so high, which was beyond Li Xiang and Jiang Caier's expectations, the original plan to hold the engagement party and the entrance examination party together was changed.
Only the entrance banquet was held publicly, while the engagement banquet was held in a low-key manner. The two families had a meal together, and Li Xiang took out a lot of gold and jewelry and a large time deposit certificate of 18.88 million as a betrothal gift. According to traditional customs, the betrothal gift is given to the bride's parents.
But Jiang Jianguo and his wife did not want it, but gave it directly to Jiang Caier.
Witnessed by Li Xiang's grandmother and Jiang Caier's parents, the two exchanged engagement rings.
Originally, Li Xiang wanted to publicize the 18.88 million yuan betrothal gift and create a wave of attention, but the two felt that they should keep a low profile at this time.
Jiang Jianguo and Aunt Jiang also understood that if they held a high-profile engagement banquet at this time, wouldn't that be putting their daughter on the spot? Although the school had not yet started, Li Xiang accompanied Jiang Caier to Tsinghua University. Because the school admissions office called Jiang Caier and said that a three-bedroom, one-living-room house had been arranged, and asked her to go over to get the key and see if she needed to decorate it in advance or arrange it a little bit so that it would be convenient to live in when school started.
What else is there to say? Naturally, they immediately headed for Tsinghua University.
Well, they didn’t evade the enemy or run there at full speed in the middle of the night. Instead, they took a serious flight, mainly because Jiang Jianguo and his wife also wanted to go and take a look.
Theoretically, Jiang Jianguo and his wife could live in such a big house to accompany their child in his studies, but they were unwilling to do so.
First, they were used to living in the countryside and were not used to the city. Second, they felt that their image did not match up and they were afraid that their classmates would laugh at Jiang Caier. Third, after eating in various canteens at Tsinghua University, Aunt Jiang felt that her food might not be as delicious as the school canteen, and it definitely did not have as many varieties.
The cafeteria in Tsinghua University has all kinds of dishes. In addition to rice, there are also porridge, steamed buns, pan-fried buns, dumplings, noodles... and each one has many varieties. For example, in addition to white rice, there are also rice balls, Yangzhou fried rice, barbecue rice, grilled bird rice, and rice with various flavors.
Dumplings come with various fillings, some are boiled, and some are fried until both sides are golden.
There is a wide variety of noodles, including Chongqing noodles, Northwest beef noodles, scallion oil noodles, knife-cut noodles, etc.
They all look delicious. My daughter can eat whatever she wants. If I cook at home, how many dishes can I make for one meal? Are there so many choices?
So Aunt Jiang feels that cooking for herself is not as good as eating in the cafeteria.
Then, the most important point is that I am afraid it will affect Jiang Caier’s studies.
"Xiang'er, why don't you live here and take care of Cai'er?" Aunt Jiang suggested.
Li Xiang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "That's even worse. It will have a bad influence."
Although the two were engaged, living together right after entering college would definitely have a negative impact.
Jiang Caier smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry about me. These days, Brother Xiang and I will go to pick out some smart home products, such as washing machines, robot vacuum cleaners, etc. Besides, I am old enough to take care of myself."
Jiang Jianguo and Aunt Jiang still didn't believe it, but after helping to set up the place for a few days, they were shocked to find that, as expected, all kinds of machines were very obedient and kept the house in tidy order.
Little did they know that those smart home appliances, including lights, sweeping robots, tea bar machines, water heaters, washing machines, refrigerators, etc., had been "invaded" by Jiang Caier and she had gained control of them.
And they are all connected to the Internet, so she can control these things at home anytime and anywhere.
Moreover, she now owns two quantum computers, and her memory palace has expanded several times compared to before. Her "computing power" is so strong that she can use tens of thousands of computers at the same time without any problem.
If you can't even clean your own house, how can you clean the world? With Jiang Caier's ability, the "computing power" used to clean this house is less than one millionth.
As for safety, there was no need to worry. Li Xiang was probably the only one who could beat Jiang Caier. Luo Feifei was probably in trouble too.
Jiang Caier also brought the robot dog with her and kept it at home as a pet.
She programmed the robot dog individually, giving it more advanced artificial intelligence and making it absolutely loyal to Jiang Caier.
The three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment arranged by Tsinghua University had good hardware, so Li Xiang and Jiang Caier did not touch anything. They only replaced the mattress, toilet seat, shower head, curtains, sofa, TV, etc. with new ones. In addition, they bought many smart home appliances, as well as home computers and laptops.
Jiang Caier had been using her mobile phone for a year or two, and now she changed to the latest model. Anyway, these things don’t cost much money.
Needless to say, bed sheets, quilt covers, clothes and shoes, Li Xiang and Jiang Caier have already achieved freedom with their financial conditions. Even if they don't have the house arranged by the school, they can still afford to buy a large flat nearby.
As for the kitchen, there is a cafeteria in the university, so there are almost no kitchen utensils and cooking utensils, and Jiang Caier will not waste time on cooking.
As for the coffee machine, Li Xiang bought her one and put a lot of coffee beans in the cabinet below. They were all high-end coffee beans, no inferior ones. In the future, Li Xiang would come over often to help her replenish the supplies, making sure that she didn't have to worry about the trivialities of life.
Then, there is a special snack room with boxes of various snacks.
I have to say, decorating a new home is quite interesting. If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Caier will live in this house for at least several years, maybe until the end of the world.
Even after graduation, she can stay in school to run the laboratory and continue to do research. Jiang Caier has no employment pressure. She studies and learns purely to improve herself and hopes to help Li Xiang more in the future. If she can make some new contributions to human civilization, she will be very happy.
The house was decorated and it was not long before school started, but Jiang Caier did not go back. She was invited to participate in a summer camp organized by the school. It can be said that she had already immersed herself in the study life of a prestigious school in advance.
Seeing their daughter busy every day and getting along well with teachers and classmates, Jiang Jianguo and his wife returned home early with peace of mind. Li Xiang stayed here for a few more days and also experienced the life in Tsinghua campus with Jiang Caier.
In the evening, they spent the evening under the moonlight in the beautiful Tsinghua University campus, and visited other schools, such as Peking University, University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Beijing Institute of Technology, Renmin University of China, Peking Union Medical College, Beijing Normal University, etc.
Li Xiang had never been in a relationship in college, and he did not attend a prestigious university. But at this time, Jiang Caier helped him realize his dream. It must be said that dating in college is a different experience.
Although Li Xiang is 27 years old, he has become more and more accomplished, handsome, with fair skin and no flaws on his body. He looks to be in his early twenties. On several occasions, he has been called "classmate" and even "junior" by sophomores and juniors.
"Why don't we go to the teaching building..." Li Xiang whispered in Jiang Caier's ear.
Jiang Caier immediately became shy and shouted, "Pervert~"
"I've been a pervert for a long time, why do you just find out?" Li Xiang chuckled.
Jiang Caier couldn't persuade him, so they left their footprints in various places such as the famous school's teaching buildings, rooftops, playgrounds, groves, gymnasiums, libraries...
