Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

At this time, although the Lunar New Year has not yet arrived,

it is already the end of January 2013.

The first semester of the first academic year of the Elite Class has also entered the end of the semester.

It is the eve of the winter vacation.

The atmosphere of the Elite Class is also gradually becoming more tense and busy like other ordinary classes.

Although the college has given the students in the Elite Class considerable freedom in their studies,

in fact, the learning tasks of the Elite Class are still quite heavy.

Just like the mathematics course taught by Professor Wen that Mo Dao had completed in advance,

if it follows the teaching process of a normal class,

this professional course is usually divided into 1 and 2 parts, and then placed in the professional compulsory courses of students in two academic years or two semesters,

but in the Elite Class, there is obviously no such saying.

One course is taught directly from beginning to end.

In this way, the content is more complete and continuous, and the professor does not need to follow the process of the book when teaching, but only teaches in a more appropriate order.

But at the same time, it also means that students in the elite class need to receive more information in a short period of time, and need to learn and master more content.

Moreover, it is not just Professor Wen's course.

The study of the elite class this semester is not just Professor Wen's course.

Whether it is the students who focus on physics or mathematics in the elite class, even if the focus is different,

they are basically studying multiple courses at the same time.

As the end of the semester approaches, when people who study the same course have completed the study of related courses one after another and continue to study other or more in-depth courses,

those who remain in the classroom will inevitably feel more and more pressure.

However, this has nothing to do with Mo Dao.

When he finished Professor Wen's course, Mo Dao had basically completed the courses of the elite class this semester.

The remaining two months were basically spent on studying more in-depth courses in physics and mathematics.

At the same time, because the research on controlled nuclear fusion is actually more inclined to applied research, it involves quite a lot of professional fields,

and also made some more understanding of the knowledge in other fields in this regard.

I have read many cutting-edge papers in the field of controlled nuclear fusion.

I have a comprehensive understanding of the current status of controlled nuclear fusion research in this era.

And at this time,

Professor Wen found him again.

…

"I heard that you have been taking some engineering courses recently."

"Yeah."

"Because of controlled nuclear fusion?"

"Yes."

Strictly speaking, except for occasional consultation on some problems in mathematics learning,

Mo Dao and Professor Wen have basically had no private communication.

However, Professor Wen's attitude towards Mo Dao is still good.

As a teacher, he naturally has a good impression of students who can understand any problem at a glance and have strong learning and thinking abilities.

Teaching such students, as a teacher, is much more pleasant.

Even if Mo Dao is not familiar with Professor Wen,

Professor Wen is still very familiar with Mo Dao, a genius in this elite class.

For ordinary students, those who can enter Capital University are geniuses.

For most students in Capital University, those who study physics and mathematics are basically at the top of the contempt chain.

For ordinary students majoring in physics and mathematics at Capital University, those who enter the elite class are geniuses.

Now, the first semester is about to end, and the entire elite class of 31 people has basically opened up a clear gap.

Those who can just keep up with the teaching progress of the professors of the elite class,

have completed the courses of this semester in advance.

They have already followed the syllabus and completed the required courses of the major at a very fast speed, and have spare energy to learn some courses of interest.

After a semester,

some people who were full of confidence before are now doubting their lives.

They are obviously in the elite class of Capital University, but they doubt that they are not suitable for studying mathematics or physics at all.

They doubt whether they are stupid.

The same problem.

Some people quickly got ideas, some people quickly started writing,

and some people have already proved it.

And Mo Dao is obviously in the top echelon of the entire elite class.

This echelon is just him, and there is even a gap with the people behind him.

Moreover, the strong learning and thinking abilities shown by Mo Dao are still making this gap bigger and bigger as time goes by.

"That's right."

In the office, Professor Wen poured a cup of warm water for Mo Dao,

and motioned Mo Dao to sit down.

After putting down the paper cup, Professor Wen thought for a while and said,

"Aren't you interested in the research of controlled nuclear fusion?"

"We also have some cooperation with Huaguo University of Science and Technology in related research fields. If you like, our school has a professor of nuclear physics who will go there on a business trip next."

"You can follow him to see EAST."

EAST is an important controlled nuclear fusion research device in China.

It is a tokamak experimental device in magnetic confinement fusion.

At this time, and in the future, EAST has made many achievements in the research process of controlled nuclear fusion.

No matter how long it will take in the future to truly realize controlled nuclear fusion,

this device will leave an important mark in the entire research process.

As he spoke, Professor Wen smiled again,

"You can understand this as a special treatment for students in the Elite Class."

"At the end of the first academic year of the Elite Class, if students still insist on the research goals they want to achieve at the beginning, we will try our best to let you feel the path you will take next."

"Mo Dao, you are very good and talented. It's just the right opportunity, so it's ahead of time."

To a certain extent, this is also a reflection of the fact that the School of Physics and the School of Mathematics are leaning on the educational resources of the Elite Class.

We will let you feel what you want to do first.

In mathematics, if you want to prove a conjecture, we will try to find an opportunity for you to meet and talk with mathematicians who have been studying this problem for a lifetime.

If the person who proposed the conjecture is still alive and not too far away, maybe we can find an opportunity to meet him.

As for Mo Dao,

if you want to take the path of controlled nuclear fusion research, you can just go and see the real tokamak device.

In addition, although the first lesson at the beginning of the school did not continue to say anything in depth about the research direction and ideals that everyone wanted to take next,

but obviously, Professor Wen and others have not forgotten this matter.

"Okay. Thank you Professor Wen and the college."

Mo Dao agreed directly,

since he had already decided to do research related to controlled nuclear fusion in this life.

He was indeed very interested in the EAST device.

"Okay. Wait until tomorrow morning, you go directly to Professor Hong. When he goes there, he will take you directly."

Although he didn't see a particularly excited reaction on Mo Dao's face,

Professor Wen still smiled happily after Mo Dao agreed.

Then he waved to Mo Dao, indicating that Mo Dao could leave.

...

The next day.

Mo Dao went to find Professor Hong.

Mo Dao and Professor Hong were not completely unfamiliar.

Mo Dao had listened to many of Professor Hong's previous lectures at the school.

Professor Hong was also impressed by Mo Dao as a student.

Knowing Mo Dao's purpose, the college had already communicated in advance.

After just a few simple exchanges, Professor Hong took the initiative to tell Mo Dao about the next itinerary and made an appointment with Mo Dao for the departure time.

Then,

time continued to pass.

About another week later, Mo Dao set off with Professor Hong and two of his graduate students.
