Tong Yan began to lead Ye Li, Zhang Zhen and Yang Ziyue to redesign the circuit of the robotic arm in the past few days.Ye Li's chip testing project can be said to have achieved phased results.Manufacturers' chips are much higher in performance than what they used before.Tong Yan wants to use this series of chips on the robotic arm.In this way, the main components of the product can be localized to a considerable extent.Although the chip core is still foreign, it is not a small progress.

Ye Li started taking circuit design courses this semester.The class starts with the most basic circuit components, the NAND gate.The circuit boards on the project have reached the application level.He had read the basics of circuits last semester, and this semester, following Tong Yan and his two seniors, he began to understand deeper things.He is down-to-earth, diligent and inquisitive, like a healthy and dry seed planted in the ground, greedily absorbing all water and nutrients, wishing that it would be plump and swell overnight, take root and germinate.

"You are working on that test project, so let's do it now. If you are free these few days, write a paper."

Ye Li had never written a thesis before, so he asked, "How many words do I need to write?"

Tong Yan said: "The number of words is not the key. Just write clearly what you have done, the results you have obtained, and what it means."

"My project seems to have nothing to write about." Ever since Ye Li joined the robotic arm project, he found that the things he made were very simple, and they were all very basic parts.

"Who said that? Do you think that test items are meaningless? A senior student's graduation is at this level."

"is it?"

Tong Yan is praising him, right?Ye Li was a little complacent, so he found the information, went to the library to check some related papers, and started writing seriously.Ye Li just read Lin Li's thesis just finished a few days ago, it's quite thick after it's bound.The title and author of the thesis are also written on the spine, which is very fulfilling in the hand.

He spent two weeks and wrote more than 40 pages.He revised it again, checked some information, added some things, got 60 pages, printed it out, and handed it to Tong Yan.

Tong Yan was discussing the issue with Yang Ziyue at the time, and said, "Leave that first, I'll look back".Ye Li put it on his desk and came out.

After all, it was the first time he was writing a thesis for Tong Yan to read. He was quite nervous on the way to teach Chen Shan by car.

Ye Li taught Chen Shan for more than a month, twice a week.Chen Shan's mother Cheng Luoyi was there every time, and would chat with Ye Li after class.At the beginning, I talked about Chen Shan's study, and later I also talked about things at home.That Cheng Mingming and Ye Li can occasionally see it, but just to meet each other.Ye Li had never met Chen Shan's father.

He went to Chen Shan's house that day, and she was the only one at home.

"Aunt Cheng isn't here?"

"Dad came back, and Mom went out with him."

"Oh? Where does uncle usually live?" Ye Li asked casually, and regretted it after asking, after all, it involved his personal affairs.

"In province P." Chen Shan went to the living room to get Ye Li a glass of water, "I'm too busy doing real estate business over there, so I don't come here often."

"Really? My family is also in province P."

Province P is inland, not close to here, and not a very developed area, but if it is a real estate business, there should be very few wealthy families.

"Every time Dad comes back, the family is like the New Year."

Ye Li glanced at the photos of a family of three displayed in Chen Shan's room.The little girl was only six or seven years old at that time, hugged in front of her parents, smiling sweetly.

"My father buys a lot of things for my mother. The next day when he comes back, colleagues in my mother's company will know that my father is back. Because my mother will wear the new clothes my father bought for her."

"Hehe, I will definitely buy you a lot of gifts."

"Yes," Chen Shan said, "too many to use up."

Ye Li smiled and said, "It's great to have such a father."

Chen Shan said calmly, "I hope they get divorced soon."

One sentence made Ye Li choke so hard that he didn't know how to answer it, but it was inappropriate to pretend that he didn't hear it.Fortunately, Chen Shan took a sip of water naturally and said "Let's go to class".So Ye Li started to give her a lecture step by step.

After class, when Ye Li was going out, a car just stopped outside the door.

Cheng Luoyi got off the passenger seat.Today's Cheng Luoyi is a different person than usual, with a happy face, as if she was ten years younger.

"Ye Li is here? Are you done with class?"

"Hello, auntie, it's over."

At this time, a middle-aged man got off the driver's seat.Cheng Luoyi quickly introduced to Ye Li: "This is my husband, Chen Mingzhi."

Ye Li hurried up to shake hands: "Hello, Uncle."

"Hello."

Chen Mingzhi is very steady, he speaks like a bell, and he gives people an inexplicable sense of security when they first meet.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Li came out of her house.

Because of Chen Shan's words just now, Ye Li thought that his parents had a bad relationship, but when he saw Chen Shan's parents together, he was sure that they were very affectionate.A loving couple can't be deceived by their eyes.

The next day, after class, as soon as he arrived at the laboratory, Tong Yan called him over.He stood behind Tong Yan and looked at him holding his thesis in his hand.Tong Yan took a pen and turned to the first page.

Ye Li suddenly became nervous.

At the beginning, there were some embedded background introductions. Tong Yan framed two paragraphs, marked a deletion, said nothing, and then turned to the second page.

Tong Yan then turned a few pages and modified the expression of a few sentences, making them more concise and accurate.There are several waveform diagrams in the back, and two have been deleted.

"For a similar test, just post one." Tong Yan said while lowering his head.

"Oh."

He has also written materials and reports before, and made PPT for Tong Yan.Tong Yan will also modify it, and tell him if something is wrong.But today Ye Li is very concerned about Tong Yan's reaction, he wants to satisfy him too much.

So far he couldn't see Tong Yan's attitude, he clenched his hands, and a thin layer of sweat broke out from his palms.

Tong Yan changed silently to the middle and rear part, and stopped at the part of the project's significance and development prospects.He stared at it for a while, frowned, circled four paragraphs of text, and looked up at Ye Li.

"Where did you copy it?"

Ye Li was a little confused by the question. These paragraphs were indeed not original by him word by word. To be precise, they "fused" the contents of other articles together.Because he thinks these are insignificant parts, there are neither figures nor charts, they are all statements and generalizations, which can be used for reference and supplemented in his own articles.But Tong Yan could tell at a glance, and used the verb that made him blush.

"I..." Ye Li was speechless, and argued, "It's all background introduction, it's useless."

Tong Yan immediately said: "It's useless, why keep it?"

Ye Li was left speechless when asked.

"The quality of a thesis does not depend on its length. After your project is finished, the value of the thesis is there. Those fancy things are useless."

Tong Yan said while turning backwards.There were not many changes in the latter part. After reading it, he closed the stack of papers, put them on the table, turned his chair, and looked at Ye Li.

"I don't care about the current atmosphere in the academic circle and what others do. My students, every word they write must be their own. You can use the things written by others. You can put quotation marks and write quotations, understand? ?”

Ye Li lowered his head, very depressed.The result was many times worse than he imagined.If Tong Yan corrected a few typos for him, he would feel much more comfortable.

He let him down, and of a bad nature.

After Tong Yan finished speaking, seeing that he didn't respond, he said, "Look up."

Head up your ass!Ye Li really wanted to tear up that stack of papers and leave here, he didn't want to stay here for a minute.At this moment, it felt as if someone asked him to look up and smile when his underwear was lying on his back.

He lowered his head firmly.The two stalemate like this for a long time.Tong Yan stood up, supported the back of his head with his hands, and said with a little more tenderness: "I know you didn't mean it, and it's not an important part. You will go to a better school in the future and become someone else's student , or become a professor or do research by yourself in the future, you must remember these. Do you understand?"

Ye Li raised his head following the strength in his hand, and said "Understood".

Seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, Tong Yan breathed a sigh of relief.Male students are still much tougher than female students.He would never dare to say such a bad word to a female student, and shed tears if he was not sure.

Ye Li pouted uncontrollably after saying the sentence "Understood", stretched out his hand, and signaled Tong Yan to give him the thesis.

Seeing him like this, Tong Yan couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, the writing is pretty good, I can post it after changing it."

Ye Li didn't speak, turned around and walked out. When he went out, he straightened his hair messed up by Tong Yan.
