Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

If I hadn't been supplementing my knowledge of physics and chemistry recently, I probably wouldn't have even reached thirty points in material science experience.

Through his own observation of the system's subject-level interface, Ning Chen discovered some hidden information.

Some disciplines that are closely related will have a certain impact on each other.

For example, when Ning Chen was studying for the mathematics competition, even if he did not study other subjects, the level of other science subjects would increase slightly.

Ning Chen decided to start learning professional knowledge of materials science after the final exam.

Anyway, Ning Chen was originally a student majoring in materials. Although this major is called one of the four major tiankeng majors, the significance of materials to human beings is self-evident.

It happened that there were no plans during the summer vacation, so Ning Chen could use this time to learn a lot of knowledge.

…

Time flies so fast, and before I know it, all the final exams for this semester are over.

Ning Chen didn't really care about the results of the final exams in each subject. With Ning Chen's confidence in his abilities, there was no problem in taking the first place in his major again.

After finishing the last exam, Ning Chen went to the instructor Zhang Kun to explain his thoughts.

Director Zhang, I want to stay in school during the holidays and take professional courses in materials.

Zhang Kun was not surprised by Ning Chen's idea of ​​staying in school. After all, Ning Chen spent most of the winter vacation in school last semester.

No problem, I will help you directly with the procedures for staying in school during the vacation. Do you have any personal thoughts on studying professional courses?

Ning Chen thought for a while and said:

Can you contact Teacher Xu Zhou for me? I would like to ask him some questions about studying professional courses first.

Zhang Kun was a little surprised that Ning Chen asked Xu Zhou by name. After all, Xu Zhou had only stayed at the school for two years and was among the youngest teachers in the School of Materials Science.

Ning Chen saw Zhang Kun's confusion and continued:

Although Mr. Xu Zhou is young, I heard that the senior students in the material major spoke very well of him, and he was promoted to associate professor in just two years. I also prefer to communicate with young teachers, and I don't feel so much psychological pressure. It can be easier.”

After listening to Ning Chen's explanation, Zhang Kun also felt that this was indeed the case.

Yes, Teacher Xu Zhou is indeed young and promising, and his professional ability is very good. Then I will report it to Dean Liu, and I will contact you when I have news.

Okay, please, Director Zhang.

You're welcome, it's all what I should do.

The reasons Ning Chen told Zhang Kun were certainly true, but they were not all the reasons why Ning Chen chose Xu Zhou by name.

In her previous life, Ning Chen had taken Xu Zhou's class and had a very good impression of Xu Zhou.

Xu Zhou is not only very friendly, but his lectures are also very humorous, which makes him very popular among students.

In terms of professional ability, Xu Zhou is even more excellent. Although he is young, he is not inferior to those old professors.

According to Ning Chen's classmates who stayed at the school, Xu Zhou published some good results almost every year. He was promoted to a professor in the School of Materials before he was forty years old. He was also one of the strongest scientific research talents in the entire school.

After Ning Chen left, Zhang Kun immediately contacted Liu Xu and relayed Ning Chen's thoughts.

Liu Xu also took this matter very seriously, which showed that Ning Chen really wanted to stay in the School of Materials.

But Liu Xu was also a little surprised as to why Ning Chen asked Xu Zhou by name, but since Ning Chen had this request, Liu Xu would definitely try his best to satisfy it.

Liu Xu found Xuzhou's phone number and called him directly.

Teacher Xu, are you busy?

I'm not busy or not, please tell me, Dean Liu.

Teacher Xu, there is a freshman in our college named Ning Chen. You must have heard of him, right?

Naturally, Xuzhou was no stranger to the name Ning Chen.

He's the math genius, of course he knows.

It's like this. He wants to start studying professional courses in materials science in advance. If he has time, he can ask you some questions first.

Hearing Liu Xu's words, Xu Zhou was also full of doubts.

If Liu Xu hadn't mentioned this matter, Xu Zhou would have thought that Ning Chen would transfer to the mathematics major next semester.

But after all, this was a task assigned to him personally by Dean Liu, so Xu Zhou naturally did not dare to refuse.

In addition, Xu Zhou is also very interested in Ning Chen and really hopes to get to know Ning Chen.

Okay, I've been in the lab lately, he can come over anytime.

Okay, if nothing happens, I will ask him to come find you today.

…

Ning Chen originally thought that it would take two days for Zhang Kun to give him any news, but he didn't expect that Zhang Kun would reply to him on the same day.

Ning Chen, Dean Liu has helped you contact Mr. Xu Zhou. Whenever you have time, just go to his laboratory to find him.

Okay, okay, I'd like to trouble Director Zhang and Dean Liu.

Ning Chen sighed in his heart at how fast they were doing things. Of course, Ning Chen also knew in his heart that whether the efficiency was fast or not depended on what the matter was.

After dinner in the evening, Ning Chen came to the laboratory where Xu Zhou was located.

After knocking three times, the door was opened after a while.

It was Xu Zhou who opened the door, but this was the first time Ning Chen saw Xu Zhou in this life, so he pretended not to recognize him.

Hello, I'm Ning Chen, I'm here to see Teacher Xu Zhou.

I am Xu Zhou, please come in.

Ning Chen was a little excited when she saw Xu Zhou again after so many years, so she had to try her best to suppress her emotions.

Ning Chen, I heard from Dean Liu that you want to learn materials science in advance?

Yes, we just finished the exam, so we have time to study professional courses.

Xu Zhou's eyes widened when he heard this, and his expression showed some doubts.

Ning Chen, according to your ability, you can just transfer directly to the mathematics major. What other materials should you study? The materials major is very hard, and the salary is not that good. Don't be so upset!

As a teacher at the School of Materials, Xu Zhou directly advised Ning Chen not to learn materials, which made Ning Chen feel dumbfounded.

Teacher Xu is indeed still so down-to-earth. Ning Chen said heartily.

Ning Chen remembered that Xu Zhou had such a very special character in his previous life. He was not as serious as other teachers, and he didn't like to do surprise quizzes or the like.

In his spare time, Xu Zhou sometimes plays basketball with the students, completely without the airs of a teacher.

Teacher Xu, I think materials science is still a very important subject. Materials science can be said to be the cornerstone of human civilization. From various daily necessities to aerospace, energy and electronics, everything is inseparable from the knowledge of materials science. . There will definitely be some hard work in the process of learning and research, but the results will definitely be happy.

Listening to Ning Chen's words, Xu Zhou couldn't help but be moved by Ning Chen.

After all, these are the words they usually use to trick students into learning materials. This is the first time I heard a student say this to me.
