Chapter five hundred and sixty-six happy study life began
The name Bob Kornberg is different from common names in Europe and America, and has strong Jewish characteristics.
"Yes, you are also very lucky to have become a classmate with Liu Lang, a genius. I will treat everyone equally, so you should study hard!"
"Oh my god!"
Everyone else cast sympathetic glances at Kornberg, who usually couldn't stand it, but now Claire wants to discipline him strictly, which is really going to kill him!
Kornberg just nodded. He knew very little about Professor Claire. He only knew that this tutor was a nationally famous mechanical expert, but he did not know that this person had a very eccentric personality. However, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the expressions of others.
Wonderful, but having said that, I am here to learn, and it doesn’t matter if I can learn knowledge and suffer a little bit.
"Okay, today is the first day of school. There are no classes. The rest of the time is left to you. Let's all get familiar with it!"
Professor Phelps ended his speech and Professor Clare turned and left.
Seeing the two instructors leaving, the students became lively and most of them gathered around Liu Lang.
"Your name is Jimmy? Wow, what a kid!"
A student touched Liu Lang's arm. He was thin and frail. He was indeed much different from an adult.
"Are you Chinese?"
a female classmate asked.
"No, I'm not Chinese, I'm Chinese!"
"Then you speak English very well! I have a Chinese neighbor who speaks English very awkwardly!"
Another classmate said.
A group of people regarded Liu Lang as a child, which was actually the case. Liu Lang said that he was eight or nine years old, and his physical development was similar, but his classmates were all young people in their twenties, four or five years old, and one of them was tall.
They have reached two meters, and they can play basketball without any problem. In their eyes, this person who is less than 1.4 meters tall is just a little kid. He can push Liu Lang to the ground with just a stretch of his hand.
Liu Lang had a pleasant exchange with these classmates, and soon became mingled with each other. Everyone discovered that this child's knowledge was beyond ordinary people, and he had his own unique opinions on everything.
"Liu Lang, do you think the Soviet Union and your country will fight a world war?"
American young people are born with a passion for social participation. To put it bluntly, they are a group of American "angry youth". They are not only enthusiastic about their country's politics, but also very concerned about the world situation. Liu Lang is from China, and Americans are full of enthusiasm for this strange country.
They are curious, and at the same time everything about China is unknown to them. They only know that China and the Soviet Union are the same system. Now the relationship between China and the United States is very good, but the relationship between the Soviet Union and China is very bad.
"Haha, there is no doubt about the strength of the United States. As for the Soviet Union...well, maybe they will cease to exist in a year or two!"
Liu Lang replied with a smile.
"No longer exists? What do you mean?"
Everyone was shocked.
"Well, it's hard to say. In short, everyone will understand it in a year or two, but China will soon become stronger!"
The disintegration of the Soviet Union was too complicated, and Liu Lang didn't bother to explain it to them.
"China has too many people. I'm afraid there must be two billion people! As long as we can solve the problem of feeding these people, it will be a great event!"
One person said.
"How can there be two billion people! Our country now has a population of just one billion. Big brother, you should study hard and at least get the data accurate!"
"Liu Lang, what do you think of President Reagan's attitude towards the Soviet Union?"
one student asked.
"This actor's abilities are pretty good, and his Star Wars plan is very imaginative, but it's just a political trick!"
When Reagan was young, he was an actor in Hollywood, but only at a second-rate level. Later, running for the election became part of his resume. His most famous thing is the Star Wars project. This plan is nonsense. The Americans have never implemented it, but
However, it made the Soviet Union nervous and invested a lot of money in developing its own space technology, which increased the burden on its citizens and became the last straw that led to the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
No one knows these things now. They will only be announced after the Soviet Union disintegrates. By then, these people will know how foresight Liu Lang is.
In short, Liu Lang quickly became familiar with this group of people.
This is how Liu Lang's graduate career began.
Postgraduate education is a kind of professional education, which is more professional and directional than undergraduate level. The difference between the two is that the scope of study of postgraduate education is narrower, but the content is much deeper.
Generally speaking, one-third of the courses Liu Lang studied were public courses. Of course, this public course was aimed at the thirty or so students from the School of Engineering Mechanical Engineering. They were all very professional subjects, such as
There are materials metallurgy, statics, dynamics, circuit analysis, engineering drawing, mechanical vibration, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, automatic control and thermodynamics, etc.
The remaining one-third of the time will be spent alone with Professor Claire. The professor will give Liu Lang and Bob some questions for them to answer, such as the combustion rate of the engine in different states.
The wear degree of the cylinder has been calculated, etc. Of course, these questions are only elementary questions, and the difficulty of the questions will continue to increase as the two people learn more deeply.
The remaining one-third of the time is free to allocate time, but this free allocation is also limited. Their respective tutors often give students some extracurricular questions. For example, Professor Claire gave a question to Liu Lang and Bob.
, let them analyze the stress tolerance of different types of engines. This topic actually involves materials and metallurgy. It needs to be discussed with students from other disciplines. The purpose of this
One is to let everyone communicate with each other about what they have learned. After all, whether it is an engine or a machine tool, they are all the same. It is impossible to solve the problem alone by ignoring one aspect alone. The other is to cultivate students' collaborative skills.
In the eyes of Americans, no matter how powerful a person's ability is, it cannot be compared with that of a team. Only through mutual cooperation can one thing be done well. Without a team, an individual's ability is insignificant.
Of course, in addition to these learning contents, Stanford University, like other universities, is full of various student "clubs", which are equivalent to domestic student unions, such as drama, performance, bodybuilding, painting, music, karate, etc., these "clubs" are organized every year
All members are recruited. Anyone can sign up, but they must be screened by old members.
, there are also some mysterious organizations, similar to Yale's Skull and Bones Society. This kind of organization only targets some special groups, such as the "second generation of rich people" and "second generation of politicians", and some are characterized by racial discrimination.
For example, it can only be white people, or it can only be Mexicans. Liu Lang thinks this should be called a fellow villagers association.
Liu Lang is not interested in these groups, and no one has asked him to join any organization. Why would he find a child? If you are ridiculed by others, you will be in trouble. More seriously, if someone accuses you of employing child labor, you will have to go to court.
Of course, even if he approached Liu Lang, he would politely reject him. His time was limited, and besides studying, there was no point in spending so much time talking to these people.
