Rebirth of America: The American Drama System

Chicago.

1993.

"Owen, your letter."

During breakfast, Lisa handed Owen a letter with the postmark of the University of Texas at Austin: "It's been two years, and I still get one letter every month. You and Sheldon have such a good relationship."

"Aunt Lisa, you know, Sheldon is a genius."

Owen took the letter and explained: "I have many questions that I need to ask him. Besides, Sheldon is a person who likes homeostasis very much. Our correspondence has already formed a homeostasis. If I break up one day, He will definitely skip the letter."

"Haha, what a funny kid."

Lisa also met Sheldon and was deeply impressed by Sheldon's unusual speech and behavior.

"Haha, he is indeed interesting."

Owen twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled in agreement. He opened the envelope and took a look. As expected, Sheldon easily answered the questions he encountered and mocked him as arrogantly as ever, criticizing his increasing progress in study. The slower.

Two years ago, after Bianca graduated, Owen moved to Chicago with Jack and Lisa. He was originally worried about how to maintain a friendship with Sheldon, who was in college, and even thought about skipping a grade from time to time. After all, Sheldon's friendship It is the key for Irving to gain a point of existence.

But after being reminded by the American drama system, Owen suddenly realized that keeping a sufficient distance from Sheldon at this stage is absolutely beneficial and harmless.

First of all, Sheldon is still too young now, and his character has not yet been formed. He fluctuates a lot. Just look at Libby, the black pearl with whom he was inseparable at the beginning. If they don't get along, the boat of friendship will capsize, which will lead to Sheldon, who likes geology, has always been interested in geology.

There is also Tan who goes to the same university as Sheldon. If nothing unexpected happens, the friendship between the two will advance by leaps and bounds, and there is no doubt that they can be promoted to the category of good friends recognized by the American drama system.

But then Sheldon went to California, but Tan chose to stay because he found a girlfriend in college. As a result, without Tan's knowledge, Sheldon ignored him for twenty years and dragged him into blacklist sequence.

It was not until later that Tan's son was going to college and came to visit the California Institute of Technology. Under the investigation of Leonard and others, the truth about the two good friends who had not been in contact with each other for more than 20 years was revealed.

Although Sheldon had been transformed a lot by the influence of the friends around him at this time, and agreed to remove Tan from the blacklist and put him in the Texas best friend sequence, it was just a lip service that had lasted for more than 20 years. Without contact, no matter how good a friend is, he or she will become a stranger.

Secondly, Owen's existence is determined by the friendship of the Big Bang Seven. Although Sheldon is the most outstanding among them and often claims to be the key to friends playing together, the existence of the Seven is The foundation is Leonard.

If Leonard hadn't had a headache, ignored all obvious warnings, and signed a roommate agreement with Sheldon that would make him suffer for the rest of his life, Sheldon would have ended up alone. This is not the case in the scientific world. What a rare thing.

Because of Leonard's various tolerances, Howard and Rajesh, who liked Leonard, suppressed their dislike of Sheldon and reluctantly played together. And if it weren't for Amy's appearance, Leonard's With their help, Sheldon has been transformed from a psychopath in the eyes of ordinary people to more and more like a normal person. Even if they play together for more than ten years, the relationship between Howard, Rajesh and Sheldon will never sublimate.

What would happen if Irving interrupted the process? There is also a derivation for reference in the original plot, that is, Tan followed Sheldon to Caltech and became a roommate. Sheldon, who had friends, did not want to talk to the 'common' Leonard at all and dismissed him with just one sentence. Lost.

If it's Owen, he knows the plot and can be friends with all seven, but he doesn't have Leonard's strong endurance and protagonist's luck, and he has no ability to reunite the seven as harmoniously as in the original plot. If the seven-member group does not take shape, even if Irving tries his best, he can only develop all seven of them into good friends, but there is no way to take advantage of the special characteristics of the seven-member group to take a further step to develop Sheldon and the others into good friends. .

You know, the ratio provided by a good friend is 100:1, while the ratio provided by a good gay friend is 365:1. There is a difference of 265 years in the life span that a person can provide to Irving in one year.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Owen felt relieved and just wrote a letter every month to keep in touch. He secretly made up his mind to use the 12 years of life provided by Sheldon every year to slowly improve his intelligence attributes until his intelligence attributes were improved. After that, he will definitely become famous in the scientific community. With Sheldon's character, the other party will automatically regard Owen as a good friend without even meeting him.

This is no joke. Think about Hawking. How much sacrifice Sheldon made in order to see him. After that, Hawking casually played a game with Sheldon online. Sheldon excitedly declared to everyone: "Hawking is a good friend of mine."

Therefore, before the plot of The Big Bang Theory really begins, all Owen has to do is to become a top scientist, and then intervene after Leonard and the others have initially become a group. Presumably, with the nerdy attributes of Leonard and the others, for a top scientist The level of acceptance among scientists will be very high.

These thoughts flashed through Owen's mind. After breakfast, he rode his bicycle to the public middle school to start his eleventh grade high school routine.

After parking the car and following the flow of people, Owen came to his personal locker in the corridor. After opening it, he took out the course books he was going to take in the morning, held them in his arms, and hurried toward the classroom where the course teacher was.

In the United States, high school students, like college students, do not have fixed classrooms. Depending on the course they choose, students rush to the fixed classroom where the teacher of the subject is located. Because the time between classes is short, the pace of students is always fast.

"Has any classmates answered this question?"

In the math class, the teacher looked around the students and started to ask questions. Only Owen raised his hand, pointed at Owen, smiled slightly and said: "Owen, tell me."

"Okay, this problem needs to be analyzed from the perspective of functional equations and graphical properties..."

Owen stood up and started talking.

In the United States, students believe in being sharp and sharp, but there is no such thing as being modest and hiding one's weakness. This is because ordinary scores account for a large proportion of college entrance examination scores, and among ordinary scores, classroom performance will also have an intuitive effect in the teacher's scoring. manifestation.

In the corner of the classroom, a white girl with a blond ponytail and a delicate and pure face bit her lip and looked at Owen with watery eyes as he talked. As the teacher's applause sounded, the girl trembled all over and leaned on the desk. He gasped and murmured: "Science is really fascinating..."
