Chapter 117 Yes, I build rockets
"Hey, it looks like you've been quite tired lately. You're really becoming more and more like Teacher Gao Shang."
Hu Shucheng's originally thick curly hair has now become sparse due to the passage of time.
If Gao Shang and Hu Shucheng stood together, people might think they were father and son.
"Haha, I used to laugh at Mr. Gao for being a bald man, but now I am slowly trying to become like him. Let's talk while we walk."
Hu Shucheng locked the shared bicycle, and the two entered the Ji University campus together.
Normally, Ji University does not allow outsiders to enter the school at will, but Hu Shucheng had completed an online reservation in advance and entered the campus smoothly .
"Xu You, you've been really amazing lately. You've published two papers in the first semester of your freshman year, and they're in top journals like Nature. But I'm not too bad either. I've already started my research project."
Xu You was also a little surprised to hear that Hu Shucheng also wanted to start a scientific research project.
"So fast? It seems like you are doing very well in Jihang."
Xu You knew that people like him who started to engage in scientific research as a freshman were very rare .
"It's OK. I entered Jihang through the Strong Foundation Program, and I got the highest score in the physics competition except for the national group exam. The school attaches great importance to me. I chose to study for a bachelor's and doctoral degree. If everything goes well, I can get a doctorate in 6 years."
Normally, an undergraduate degree takes four years, a master's degree takes two and a half years, and a doctorate takes three years.
The combined undergraduate and doctoral study method can shorten the time it takes to obtain a doctoral degree from nine and a half years to six years.
"That's great. Come to think of it, I don't know when I'll get my Ph.D."
Although Xu You chose Heqing College, the graduation time was no different from other colleges.
Xu You felt that it was time to consider how to graduate as soon as possible.
After all, you can't stay at the undergraduate level forever.
"You have published two papers, are you still worried about graduation? I think Jida can give you a diploma directly. But then again, I have to be thankful that I didn't enter Guoji University and choose the Physics Department of Jida. With my personality, I can't do theoretical physics, so I am suitable for engineering. Moreover, in Jihang, I can also receive the greatest attention from the school and get more resources. If I were in Jinghua and Jida, I would be too ordinary."
"Yeah, that's a good idea indeed. By the way, with your major, is it possible that you could build rockets in the future?"
Xu You knew that Hu Shucheng's major was aerospace engineering, which was related to many cutting-edge projects in the country.
"At the undergraduate level, you will learn about aerospace, but I am more inclined to space travel. Airplanes fly too low and cannot even get out of the atmosphere. Just imagine being able to send a spacecraft I built into the distant starry sky in the future... That feeling is so exciting!"
Listening to Hu Shucheng's words, Xu You's dream of space travel was also aroused by Hu Shucheng.
"Old Hu, does your school welcome students from Jida to come for exchanges?"
"Why, superconductivity and quantum physics aren't enough for you to study? No matter how talented you are, you can't possibly understand all the knowledge in all industries, right?"
"It's always good to learn more knowledge. Well, let's not talk about this for now. I'll tell Lu Zhiyao that we're almost there."
Xu You did not let Lu Zhiyao go with him to pick up Hu Shucheng.
After all, although Lu Zhiyao and Hu Shucheng knew each other, they were not very familiar with each other.
When they were almost downstairs of Lu Zhiyao's building, Xu You called Lu Zhiyao to come downstairs on WeChat.
Lu Zhiyao didn't delay and came downstairs after a few minutes.
Seeing Lu Zhiyao's current appearance, Hu Shucheng was also a little surprised.
"Is this really the Lu Zhiyao who ranked first on the list of the four middle schools? I can hardly recognize her."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiyao retorted:
"But I can still recognize you. Besides, are you sure you are not a relative of Teacher Gao Shang?"
Hearing Lu Zhiyao's words, Xu You couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, I was just thinking about this. Putting Teacher Gao and Hu Shucheng together makes them look like a father and son."
"As expected, you two are classmates, but you always speak in each other's favor. Xu You, I'm going to give you a good beating today."
"No problem, open it up, as long as it's not wasted."
The three of them walked and talked, and they were all in a good mood.
When they arrived at Shaoyuan, Hu Shucheng didn't hesitate to pick up the menu and started ordering dishes.
"One bottle per person?"
At this time, Hu Shucheng proposed.
"I'll just drink juice." Lu Zhiyao said.
"Yeah, I drink juice too."
"Hey, I can understand Lu Zhiyao drinking juice, but Xu You, you don't drink alcohol either? You can't do this when you eat with the teacher in the future."
Hearing Hu Shucheng's words, Xu You suddenly remembered the theory that Luo Wenkun had told him.
Scientific research is not just about doing experiments in the laboratory, it is also about dealing with the human relationships.
Although Xu You had never experienced eating with his tutor.
But according to the descriptions of many senior brothers including Zhao Weijia and Yuan Dong.
When we have dinner together in the laboratory, the teachers can really drink a lot.
But Xu You still believed that even if he didn't drink, it would not affect his scientific research work.
"Okay, I'll drink one bottle with you. But only one bottle at most, definitely not more than that."
Xu You decided to have a drink with Hu Shucheng. After all, in Xu You's heart, Hu Shucheng still had a relatively high status.
When Xu You was competing in the physics competition at No. 4 Middle School, Hu Shucheng gave his all and helped him with the various experiments.
In addition, Xu You also promised Xu Zhou that he would drink with him during the New Year.
Xu You felt that he had to be able to drink at least a bottle of alcohol.
"Okay, just one bottle. I don't want to drink too much of this stuff. It does make me feel uncomfortable if I drink too much."
The food came quickly, and the three of them ate while chatting about some past events in No. 4 Middle School.
"I remember that from the time Lu Zhiyao transferred here until the final college entrance examination, Lu Zhiyao had always been ranked first in the No. 4 Middle School rankings. Apart from other things, just based on high school grades, Xu You is still inferior to Lu Zhiyao."
"Indeed, no matter what, I have never surpassed Lu Zhiyao in the exam rankings."
"No way, you taught me math and physics. You just got recommended for admission, so there's no need for you to take the college entrance exam. If you study hard, there's no way I can beat you."
The current Lu Zhiyao no longer has the terrifying dominance that she had when she was in No. 4 Middle School.
"Hehe, actually I wanted to come back and take a midterm exam to prove my ability. But because I was preparing for the competition, I really didn't have time."
"Oh, by the way, Lu Zhiyao. What's your major?" Hu Shucheng asked.
