Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

After the first academic year.

Learning in the elite class will enter another mode.

Unless there are special circumstances, all students in this elite class will thoroughly choose their majors.

Even according to your own goals, to a certain extent in advance, roughly divide some fields into physics or mathematics majors.

Then continue to study in depth and move closer to the boundaries of the knowledge that has been accumulated so far in the field of study.

The elite class does not have a bottom elimination mechanism.

The bottom line requirement for the first academic year is that students in the elite class need to complete more than two-thirds of the four-year courses of a normal university.

Since most students in the elite class have already studied many university professional courses in advance, coupled with the learning ability of the students in the elite class.

In fact, all members of the elite class met the standards.

But after this more formal assessment in the first academic year,

The college gives all students in the elite class a chance to choose.

Continue to study in the elite class, or leave the elite class and enter a more ordinary class in the Institute of Physics or Mathematics.

Normally,

It seems that everyone should choose to stay.

But in fact, after the college gave the choice, some people did choose to leave the elite class and return to a more ordinary class.

After making this difficult choice, several students in the elite class felt somewhat relieved.

Professor Wen and others were not too surprised by this.

In every elite class, someone will make such a choice.

Students who can enter the elite class are undoubtedly considered geniuses.

But there is also a huge gap between genius and genius.

Even excluding Mo Dao, who is outside the norm, most students in the elite class are different from Mo Dao's roommate He Huai at various levels.

So much so that these students in the elite class, who are able to complete most of the university's professional courses in one academic year, have many times suspected that they are not the proud ones at all, but trash.

Many students in the elite class, after this school year,

Looking at the widened gap, they were all struck with doubts about life, and their eyes were in a daze.

In other words, it is precisely because those who can enter the elite class are all geniuses of this year, that they can better understand the huge gap between themselves and those in the elite class, which is simply despairing.

Some people can withstand this kind of pressure and move forward silently.

Of course, some people simply want to change their environment so as not to continue to doubt life.

In the end, out of the thirty-one students in the elite class, there were only twenty-four left.

"...You can now determine the major and research direction you want to study again. The elite class will apply to the college to adjust your major."

At the end of the first academic year,

It is almost rare that the rest of the entire elite class is concentrated in the fixed classroom for the elite class.

Professor Wen stood at the front of the classroom and formally announced to the entire elite class of twenty or so people what everyone already knew.

"The first academic year is actually for you to lay the foundation and learn basic knowledge. After entering the second academic year, of course you will continue to study and accumulate knowledge."

"But at the same time, you must gradually enter a scientific research environment."

"You can understand it as allowing you to enter the graduate stage in advance."

"Starting from the second academic year, the college will assign you a professor as your mentor in the School of Physics, School of Mathematics, or even other schools based on your chosen field of study and research."

"In addition to daily study, you also need to follow your mentor and learn how to conduct scientific research."

As Professor Wen spoke, he looked at the students in the elite class who were about to enter their second year of study, paused, and then said something he had said many times,

"Formal scientific research work may not be smooth sailing, and the truths we discover may not be in line with our expectations."

"However, now. I still need to say something to all my classmates,"

"We welcome all students to enter the field of scientific research. I hope that all students will one day make their own achievements on the road of exploring the boundaries of human knowledge."

Why would he be willing to take charge of teaching the elite class?

His greatest hope is that at the end of the road he has reached, his students can surpass him and go further.

Finally, although you can freely change your major and field of study,

But in the end, the people who chose to change their initial learning direction were probably about half and half.

Even those who choose to change directions,

Basically, they are only replaced within mathematics or physics majors.

For example, switching from number theory to algebraic geometry.

But no one really has to jump between physics and mathematics.

…

"Brother Mo, the school is really rich. Hehe, didn't I say before that we wanted to engage in theoretical physics and unify it? Today, Lao Wen called me and told me,"

"I can follow the professor from the Institute of Physics to the European Nuclear Research Center (CERN). Visit the particle collider."

In the dormitory, He Huai said to Mo Dao with excitement.

At the current research frontier in the field of theoretical physics, the verification experiments that are still being carried out are basically very large-scale.

Particle colliders are basically the most important experimental devices in the field of high-energy physics.

Although it must have just been a professor from the School of Physics who was on a business trip there and brought He Huaishang there by the way,

But it is also rare for students who have just embarked on the path of theoretical physics.

Obviously, the treatment that Mo Dao had enjoyed before was also enjoyed by other students in the elite class.

"The last time I went abroad, I participated in a physics competition. Brother Mo, just wait. When the time comes, I will do theoretical physics, you will do nuclear fusion, and we will kill everyone."

He Huai said happily, seeming to be thinking about a bright future.

Mo Dao listened, smiled and nodded.

…

In the process of the college successively arranging students in the elite class to experience and feel their future research directions,

The first school year is completely over,

The study of the elite class has entered the new school year.

According to the fields that each student in the elite class wants to study,

There are more than twenty people in the entire elite class, and they are unevenly distributed among some old professors from the School of Physics and the School of Mathematics.

Mo Dao is a little bit special,

Alone, he was assigned to Professor Hong, who had previously taken Mo Dao to a domestic tokamak installation.

"Mo Dao, I know a little bit about your study progress. You should have finished the undergraduate courses. The basic courses for graduate students should be about the same."

"How are the courses for the mathematics major?"

In Professor Hong's office, Professor Hong seemed very kind to Mo Dao, smiling and communicating with Mo Dao.

"It's about the same progress as the physics major."

Mo Dao responded.

"That means I've finished studying."

Professor Hong said simply, then looked at Mo Dao and thought again,

"Well, in terms of basic knowledge, I really have nothing to teach you. Well, I have a list of papers here."

"It mainly involves the latest cutting-edge research in high-energy physics, nuclear physics, fluid mechanics, and turbulence. You can read it."

"Then you try to start doing research. You can choose your own topic, or I will choose a topic for you when the time comes and you can try it yourself."

Professor Hong had already known about Mo Dao's situation in advance.

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your two senior brothers to help..."

As Professor Hong spoke, he looked back at the other two doctors he brought with him.

Then he paused and took his words back.

"Forget it, just come to me directly."

The two PhD students who had been listening to the conversation raised their heads after hearing these words, and then lowered their heads silently.

What can I say...
