Time flies, time flies.

Xia Duo also didn't expect that just one Mystery Lock Node Transformation Project could be completed for several years. It was about to be the second Mystery Lock Offensive and Defense Competition in the league, and their project still had no sign of completion.

But fortunately, the support from the college is still there, otherwise Chateau's dwindling patent income alone would not be enough to support the high-frequency experiments necessary in the later stages of the project.

At present, thanks to the existence of Lingsi Network, Class Four is of course not just Class Four, but many classes in the same grade have completed professional courses in advance, and the remaining time before graduation is all time for independent projects.

However, Class 4 of the 1503 Mystic Lock Design class that Sha Duo belongs to is not on the same track as other classes. The project they are currently working on has not only received the attention and support of the college, but also has the support of the Alliance Technical Committee.

As long as it can be completed before graduation, it will be no problem for all the students in the class to be guaranteed a formal researcher.

But that’s where the problem lies. The project is progressing slowly. Even the most confident Xia Duo is not sure whether it can be completed before graduation. He is even not sure whether there is a universal law of transformation of mystery nodes (with or without matter). node transformation).

As far as he knew, the Alliance Technical Committee also supported several professional teams to engage in research in this area. Unfortunately, those teams have not yet reported any results.

Even the ideas are not made public.

Currently, the Xia Duo team is adopting what should be regarded as the most orthodox approach, starting from the formation and evolution rules of the Mystery Node, exploring the nature of the node, and then arriving at the transformation rules of whether there are physical nodes or not.

In fact, the latter law can only be regarded as a very small part compared to the essence of the mystery node.

It is conceivable how difficult the research is. Perhaps other teams can find another way and directly find the transformation rules of whether there are material nodes in the mystery lock.

For Xia Duo, this is actually not a bad thing. At least he can use this part of the conclusion directly and continue to study the nature of the mysterious lock node.

However, if this happens, their dream of becoming full-fledged researchers as soon as they graduate is probably going to be shattered, and because too much time is wasted on this project, it may also affect the progress of other people's research sequence points. This in turn affects their subsequent employment fate.

…

At noon that day, Xia Duo and his team members were busy experimenting at the practice base all morning, but the results were far from expected. This morning's experiment basically showed that the inference made some time ago was wrong.

Everyone was feeling depressed after walking out of the practice base. Although no one mentioned giving up, Xia Duo himself wanted to give up.

I have been with these classmates for so many years, even though I have the identity of Maruent, but I have gotten along with each other from scratch. The perceptions are real and the emotions are naturally real.

He himself doesn't care about his employment destination, because he has now obtained the formal researcher qualification, and he only needs to join a formal research institution after graduation to activate the corresponding permissions.

But other students can't. Maybe this project is of great significance to the development of Alliance Magic, but it is really a big burden for these students themselves.

With so many worries on his mind, Xia Duo ate lunch very poorly. Other students thought he was in a bad mood due to the results of the morning experiment, so they comforted him, encouraged him, and offered to fight again in the afternoon.

This made him more determined to end the project quickly.

After lunch, Xia Duo did not return to the practice base with his classmates. Instead, he wandered around the campus. On the way, he met four or five groups of freshmen, all of whom were running around the campus with excitement.

Seeing those junior students, Xia Duocai suddenly realized that he had been at Chixin University for so many years, and it seemed that he had not even visited every part of the school.

"The nerves are too tight, and sooner or later I will collapse!"

In fact, Xia Duo understood that he entered the projection plane for the second time and did not take any rest during this period. He may have been unable to support his spirit for a long time, but in order to obtain the wisdom of the Heart Alliance as much as possible, he still had to persevere.

Unknowingly, he walked over to Tutu Tutu's private laboratory. Since Class 4 completed all professional courses, he has never seen Tutu in person again. He usually only answers questions to his classmates "online" their questions.

Thinking of Tutuo's research direction - the variable control of mysterious lock communication rules, he suddenly became very curious about Tutu's laboratory.

Why haven't you thought of coming here to visit before?

However, considering that there were actually other members in Tutu's private laboratory, and it would not be good to disturb them, Sha Duo temporarily gave up the idea of ​​visiting and instead contacted his tutor directly.

After a while, the two saw each other in the laboratory's reception room.

"Maruente, you came at the right time. I just have something to tell you!"

"What's up?"

Because he wanted to back off, Xia Duo was still a little unable to speak out the words, so he just used the incident of Tutuo to ease his mood.

"This matter is related to you, and it is also related to other students in Class 4." Instructor Tutu said.

But Xia Duo was sensitive at the moment, and he subconsciously felt that Tutuo might want to talk about his project, but he didn't know what Tutuo meant.

However, since Tutu Tutu had mentioned it, Sha Duo no longer hesitated and said directly: "Instructor, do you want to say that it is difficult to see the end of the project we are currently working on?"

"Yes, the project itself is indeed very meaningful, and it has received the attention and support of the school and the alliance, but for you college students who are still in the learning stage, being exposed to such a project in advance can easily destroy your confidence, and it is also not conducive to future development.”

Instructor Tutu didn’t beat around the bush and directly expressed his worries.

Xia Duo has already experienced the impact on confidence. As for being detrimental to future development, it is more about other students. If they are held back by this bottomless pit-like project, it may really change their development trajectory after graduation.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo finally said the reason for his visit, "Instructor, I have also discovered this problem. The reason I came here this time is to seek advice from the instructor. I want to end this project early."

Generally speaking, the end of a project is either the achievement of the expected goal, a demonstration that the goal can never be accomplished, or the end of the project for various reasons.

Chateau is now the last one - halfway through.

This is of course allowed. Although Chixin University is a top university, the school does not believe that its students will be able to perfectly meet expectations no matter what project they pursue.

Don’t end too much in the middle, and as long as the summary is in place, apart from the discount on research sequence points, it will not affect subsequent new project applications.

Appropriate recognition of reality is actually a fact that schools hope students understand.

As long as it is not unfinished, giving a decent end to a project that is difficult or impossible to complete is, in a sense, a test for students.
