There were three days in total since the start of school. Except for the first day when he accompanied He Shao to buy things, Yan Hao never left the dormitory again. Even He Shao brought back his three meals a day from the cafeteria.
That day, He Shao brought a meal back to the dormitory. Seeing Yan Hao still sitting at the desk reading those basic books, he finally couldn't help but said, "Haohao, I asked my uncle and there are no exams after the start of the school year."
Yan Hao had been reviewing his high school knowledge day and night these past few days, so much so that he thought the school was going to have a surprise test after the start of the semester, so he went to ask his uncle, the head of the department, about it.
"I'm not here for the exam." Yan Hao raised his head.
"Then what are you doing here?" He Shao asked, "The professional assessment is over. If you want to read books, you should read our new textbooks."
"My foundation is relatively poor." Yan Hao said.
"Are you kidding? Who can get into a federal university without being a top student in high school? You're telling me that you have a poor foundation?"
"I'm different from you. I studied pharmacy in high school." Yan Hao said.
He Shao was stunned for a moment, then he remembered: "Last time you said that you were originally going to apply for the pharmacy major, but then changed to mecha manufacturing. Are you saying that you studied pharmacy throughout high school?"
"Almost. I only studied mecha manufacturing for one year. Later, I also read some information intermittently, but after all, I have not studied it systematically, so I want to supplement the basic knowledge from the beginning." Yan Hao said.
He Shao blinked, blinked again, and then said, "You only studied for one year and got admitted to the mecha manufacturing department."
Yan Hao was startled by his extremely loud noise.
"Brother Hao, I used to think you were a top student, but that was too superficial. You are definitely a genius student." He Shao said excitedly.
"You're exaggerating. Didn't I say before that I changed my major?" Yan Hao said with a smile.
"I used to think you studied both pharmacy and mecha manufacturing in middle school. I didn't know you specialized in pharmacy and took the mecha manufacturing exam without any preparation. The difficulty of the exam is very different." He Shao said excitedly, "You passed the exam after studying mecha manufacturing for a year, so are you also very good at pharmacy?"
"Actually, I don't have any talent in pharmacy. It mainly depends on hard work. If I manage to do well, I can be admitted to the pharmacy major." Yan Hao said.
"Then why bother taking the exam? You studied pharmacy for six years before you barely passed, and you passed mecha manufacturing after only one year of studying it. Big brother, your talents and skills are all in our mecha manufacturing department." He Shao said decisively.
"Yeah, you're right." Yan Hao agreed with a smile, "I thought so too, so I decisively gave up the pharmacy exam and came to the mecha manufacturing department."
"So you were half an hour late at that time, not because you left home late, but because you were taking the pharmacy exam at that time?"
"Well, luckily I met a senior who showed me the way, otherwise I would have almost missed it." Yan Hao said.
He Shao knew that Yan Hao changed his major to mecha manufacturing, but he didn't know that this guy had already taken the pharmacy exam and ran away halfway. He always thought that after the college entrance examination, Yan Hao hesitated between the two majors and finally chose mecha manufacturing, then spent several months cramming mecha knowledge and finally passed the exam. It seems that this guy really took the exam without any preparation.
"Nothing more to say, Brother Hao, you're awesome." He Shao gave him a thumbs up.
Yan Hao smiled embarrassedly.
"Then read the book by yourself. Is there anything you don't understand? Although my grades are not the best, I still know the basic knowledge." He Shao always thought that Yan Hao was a top student, so he didn't dare to say anything when he saw him reading. Now that he knew that Yan Hao was a talented player with a poor foundation, he suddenly gained confidence that he had learned the basic knowledge well. Although Yan Hao could understand it by himself, he would always learn faster if someone helped to explain it.
"Yes." Yan Hao immediately took out a notebook, which contained all the knowledge points that he had not yet understood.
He Shao sat down generously and explained one by one. He went from being at ease to being overwhelmed. The reason was that Yan Hao was too good at drawing inferences from one example. He had already explained the knowledge taught by the teacher intact, but Yan Hao always asked more profound questions.
"Why does the energy block have to use this method to compress energy?"
"Because only the energy compressed in this way is the most stable."
"What is the reason for the energy instability?"
"Well……"
"Only by finding the root cause of the instability can we come up with a better way to compress energy."
"Well……"
"The current energy blocks have too much loss when compressing energy. Basically half of the energy is lost in the compression process. This is too wasteful. Interstellar energy is already tight. We should find a way to solve this problem. I think the energy calculation formula can be improved..."
“……” Could you please not ask me, a student who just graduated from high school, questions that only professors would consider?
He Shao tutored Yan Hao for only one hour, then stopped in deep self-doubt.
He was wrong. Yan Hao was not supplementing basic knowledge at all. He was researching a topic.
Yan Hao was entangled in the energy block for a reason. After many years, the energy supply of the mecha has always been an unresolved problem. Mechas usually fight in outer space. Under the long-term vacuum state, the mecha must not only have the ability to fight, but also maintain high-speed movement and one or two space jumps.
Each space jump consumes a level 7 energy block, so the mecha must carry enough energy blocks when fighting, but the mecha's internal compartment is limited, even if the entire cabin is filled with energy blocks, the mecha cannot fight for a long time. Moreover, if there are too many energy blocks, the weight of the mecha itself will increase, so it will not be able to move quickly enough, which will be dangerous in battle.
Therefore, the Federation's mecha manufacturers have been looking for new methods of making energy blocks in order to extend the combat capabilities of the mecha.
The first lesson for freshmen in the Federal University's Mecha Manufacturing Department is about the production principles of energy blocks.
"You should have learned the energy compression formula of the energy block in middle school, but in college, we have to learn the principle of the formula. Why the energy block should be compressed in this way, the reason for the energy instability, and how to make the energy become stable during the compression process. Throughout your freshman year, half of your courses will be spent on learning this." The professor displayed the energy compression formula on the projector and began to explain the principle.
He Shao looked at this familiar question and couldn't help but quietly approach his deskmate: "Brother Hao, you see, the reason I couldn't answer it yesterday was not because I was a poor student, but because the question you asked was beyond the scope of the syllabus."
Who asks a high school student about university knowledge?
Yan Hao smiled at He Shao embarrassedly, and then looked at the projector intently. Amid the densely packed formulas and professional terms, he became more and more excited the more he listened, like a child who had fallen into a kaleidoscope and found everything new and interesting.
Each class lasts for an hour, and by the time the professor has finished explaining the knowledge points of the class, 80% of the students are already daydreaming. The professors are used to this kind of scene, so they don't panic. When the bell rings and the students instantly become alert, they assign tasks with a smile on their faces.
"On the first day of class, did you feel that there were too many topics to cover and some of them were incomprehensible?"
"Yes." The students answered in unison. They all knew that university has many knowledge points and heavy learning tasks, but the teacher taught all the knowledge points of the previous month in one class. Isn't that too much?
"There's nothing we can do. College is not like high school, where there are eight classes a day. The teacher only has two classes a week, so he covers a lot in one class. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. If you have any questions, you can ask the teacher via email at any time. You can also read more books after class, or go to Star Online to listen to the lesson the teacher just taught repeatedly." The professor said kindly.
"Yes." The students responded halfheartedly.
"The next class is a lab class." The professor's smile became more amiable. "We are going to learn how to make basic energy blocks. Some of the best students should have learned how to make level 3 energy blocks in high school, so in this lab class, we will directly learn how to make level 4 energy blocks."
"Huh?" The students who were not paying attention were startled for a moment.
"Teacher, will we make level 4 energy blocks in the next class?"
"No." The professor shook his head.
Everyone felt relieved. That's what they said. How could they make a level 4 energy block in the first lab class? You have to know that level 3 to level 4 is a watershed. When making energy blocks, the energy compression formula is more than ten times more complicated than that of a level 3 energy block.
"You have to make it by yourselves before the experiment class. After you are done, show it to the teacher during the experiment class, and the teacher will guide you one by one. Otherwise, you will never finish it in one experiment class." After saying this with a smile, the professor left with satisfaction, leaving the terrifying wailing in the classroom behind him.
As teachers, this is the happiest time for them.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die!!!" After returning to the dormitory, He Shao banged his head against the wall in anxiety.
"Don't worry too much, a week is plenty of time." Yan Hao comforted.
"Brother, you didn't make energy blocks in high school, did you?" He Shao asked.
"No." He only studied in middle school for one year, and he was still at the stage of understanding the structure of mechas, and had not touched upon the specific manufacturing of parts. Energy blocks were only taught in the third year of high school, and he even started to learn the formulas after his rebirth. However, he had always been good at math, and pharmacy also had very complex formulas and chemical molecules, so the energy formula did not seem difficult to him.
"The professor asked us to make the energy block by ourselves, not by inputting formulas and letting the machine compress the energy for us." He Shao explained, "Do you know what it means to make it by yourself? It means that you not only have to use the formulas skillfully, but you also have to take care of all aspects of energy instability when compressing the energy block. A first-level energy block has 100 unstable points, a second-level has 500, a third-level has 1,000, and a fourth-level has 10,000. With 10,000 unstable points, what do you think our success rate is?"
"Why can't we use a machine?" Yan Hao was puzzled.
"This is the Federal University's consistent teaching method. They believe that only when students can make energy blocks purely by hand without relying on machines can they be considered to have thoroughly mastered the formula of energy blocks. Moreover, after level seven, machines can no longer compress energy and must rely on human mental strength, so this can be considered laying the foundation in advance." He Shaosheng said helplessly.
"Since the professor has arranged it this way, it should be feasible." Yan Hao said, "Besides, if there is a formula, it means there is a pattern. It won't be difficult to find the pattern."
"Hao, you are so optimistic. I don't even understand the fourth-level formula." Where does the courage come from when one has never made a first-level energy block?
"I understand the formula. Why don't you take me with you to make a third-level energy block and I will explain the formula to you?" He Shao negotiated.
"!!" What? Did you understand those several pages of densely packed formulas?
