Chapter 119: There is only the lowest level?
"So, it's because science courses are too difficult that cats find it difficult to learn?" Xu You asked.
"Yes, cats also like to think, but they only like to think about various cat life philosophies. They don't like, nor are they good at learning, those science knowledge that involves calculations."
For a moment, Xu You couldn't tell whether Lu Zhiyao was talking about the cat or herself.
"So, this is a philosophical cat?"
"That's right. The life it longs for is eating cat food, basking in the sun, and thinking about the philosophy of cat life. But this is only an ideal life. In reality, it still has to face food problems, a changing environment, and some ferocious beasts."
Xu You also couldn't help but sigh that these stray cats on the Ji University campus are much happier than the stray cats in the wild.
"These cats...can I touch them?" Xu You asked.
"I want to touch them, but I'd better not because they may have never had a bath."
Hearing this, Xu You's arm, which was hanging in the air, immediately retracted.
"When I have the conditions in the future, I will definitely get a cat of my own so that I can pet it without worry." Lu Zhiyao said with a smile.
"Well, it's not a bad idea to feed these cats now. Lu Zhiyao, I'll transfer some money to you and you can buy some cat food for me. I'll take time to come and feed the cats in the future."
Xu You did this for no other reason than that he thought this way of relaxing was very good.
Sometimes, when studying is so tiring, you don’t have the energy to relieve fatigue through exercise.
Taking a few minutes to feed the cat is a very good choice.
"Sure, no need to pay, I'll buy it for you."
"No, there's still a long time to feed the cats, so just think of it as a cat food fund. If can't spend it all, you can return it to me."
Although Xu You does not have as much financial resources as Luo Wenkun now, he is definitely considered a wealthy man among the students of Ji University.
Xu You naturally didn't care about the small amount of money for cat food.
Xu You didn't allow any explanation and directly transferred 500 yuan to Lu Zhiyao via WeChat.
"500 yuan? Aren't you exaggerating a bit?"
"It's not an exaggeration. There are so many cats on the campus of Jida University. You should stock up on some cat food. When the cat food arrives, call me and I will move it. You don't have to worry about it."
Xu You thought that Hu Shucheng, once known as the "Gym King of No. 4 Middle School", was famous in No. 4 Middle School for his amazing gymnastics skills.
It was from Hu Shucheng that Xu You realized the meaning of physical exercises during class breaks. By doing the exercises seriously, he increased his physical strength and relieved accumulated fatigue.
And now, Lu Zhiyao is like the "King of Cats", using cat food to interact with cats to achieve the effect of relaxation and philosophical thinking.
Xu You could no longer stand still and indulge in the monotonous ways of relaxation in the past.
…
On this day, Lin Shi informed everyone in the small group of four that the major innovation and entrepreneurship projects could be started.
After hearing the news, Xu You was in a good mood and went to meet everyone.
But when Xu You saw Lin Shi, he found that Lin Shi didn't seem to be in a very good mood.
"What's wrong, Lin Shi, you seem a little unhappy."
"Well, we only applied for 10,000 yuan in research funding for our project," Lin Shi said aggrievedly.
Upon hearing the news, Xu You and Lou Song were also a little surprised.
"No way! We specially calculated the data of Planet-X before writing the project application, and we only applied for 10,000 yuan in funding?"
Xu You knew that 10,000 yuan of scientific research funding was already the lowest level.
This means that their project is not favored by experts.
Lou Song also curled his lips, indicating that this did sound a bit outrageous.
"I don't know why. Maybe I didn't write the project application well. They didn't think it was that valuable. I'm sorry. I'm a burden to everyone."
Luo Wenkun immediately expressed his opposition to Lin Shi’s words.
"Don't say that. There is absolutely no problem with our project application. It's just that those people think it's impossible for us to discover Planet-X, so they don't give us too much research funding. It's just money. At worst, I can sell my Porsche. I'm still short of tens of thousands of dollars in funding, right?"
Although Luo Wenkun's words were a bit exaggerated, Xu You was still very sure of his spirit.
"Yes, I also think that they simply don't take our project seriously. But forget about selling the car, there's no need for that. Our project may not require much funding. Don't let this discourage you, let's go find Teacher Huang and prepare to start researching the project."
Lou Song also nodded vigorously, indicating that this was indeed not a problem.
Compared with Lou Song's brain, tens of thousands of dollars of funding are of no value at all.
With the comfort of the three people, Lin Shi finally didn't feel so lost.
"Well, since they look down on us so much, we must create something to let them see whose project is the best!"
When the four people arrived at the laboratory, Huang Ziwei greeted them with a smile as before.
Huang Ziwei also learned that their project only received 10,000 yuan in research funding.
But this was also within Huang Ziwei's expectations.
Who would believe that four freshmen could discover Planet-X, an unknown planet that even NASA could not discover?
But Huang Ziwei did not show any negative emotions, and used his own way to give everyone some confidence.
"In fact, our project requires relatively little funding. I said last time that our main research methods are nothing more than calculation, simulation and observation. For calculation, we will provide computers and software for simulation, and for observation, we will also provide observation equipment."
After hearing what Huang Ziwei said, everyone felt that how much research funding was obtained was really not an important matter.
Next, Huang Ziwei talked about the specific usage of the software.
"I don't think I need to go into detail about the calculation part. Your abilities are totally fine. I also looked at your calculations for Planet-X in your project application. I think it's excellent, much better than many senior students. Now, let me talk about the use of the software."
Huang Ziwei turned on the computer and explained to the four people some of the software they would need to use today.
"What we need to do includes processing observational data, using physical models to simulate the evolution of various systems, and so on. We need to be proficient in using tools such as Github and Stack-Overflow."
Xu You, Lin Shi, and Luo Wenkun all looked at these unfamiliar software in confusion.
Not only are they all in English, but we have no idea what they are used for.
However, Lou Song had no such expression at all. His eyes and he looked eager to try.
