Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

"Ning Chen, are you really ready to learn the material?"

"I'm ready. The school's plan for me is to complete my undergraduate studies in two to three years, including a double major in materials and mathematics. I have no problem with mathematics, so I can focus on Place it on top of the material.”

After hearing Ning Chen's explanation, Xu Zhou no longer had any objections.

"That's good. With a double major, you will have one more choice in the future. I just think your talent in mathematics is so good, it would be a waste if you don't concentrate on studying mathematics."

"Teacher Xu, why did you choose to learn the material in the first place?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"Of course it's the truth."

"When I applied for the program, my first choice was for computer science at Shengzhou University, but I didn't score enough, so I finally accepted the adjustment and was assigned to the Materials major. There was no way, if I didn't obey the adjustment, I would be dropped."

Ning Chen said in his heart that Teacher Xu was too honest. If these words were leaked to the outside world, it would be a "reduction in enrollment"!

"Later, my professional performance was pretty good, so I continued to study for a master's degree and a doctoral degree at Shengzhou University, and finally stayed at the school. There was no way, after you embarked on this path, it was not that easy to change careers."

Fortunately, Ning Chen's Daoist heart was firm enough. If it had been anyone else, he would have given up on learning the material long ago.

"Okay, no more joking. Ning Chen, since you want to learn the professional knowledge of materials in advance, I will give you some experience as an experienced person."

"Okay, please give me some advice from Teacher Xu."

"First of all, it must be the knowledge of professional courses, which must be mastered solidly. I will first write down the textbooks for you to study in professional courses. With your learning ability, you should not have much problem in self-study.

Xu Zhou pulled off a piece of paper and explained it to Ning Chen while writing on it.

"The first thing you need to learn about materials is the course "Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering." This is the most basic professional course in materials science. It is usually taken in the sophomore year. It can be regarded as a simple introduction and overview of materials science. You can Let’s start with this book.”

""Engineering Materials" studies the various properties, strength, stress conditions of materials used in engineering, as well as various properties in the natural environment, etc."

""Physical Properties of Materials", as the name suggests, various physical properties, influencing factors, measurement methods, etc. related to materials..."

Xu Zhou wrote down the knowledge that needed to be learned in more than a dozen professional courses. Ning Chen listened carefully to Xu Zhou's explanation and had a rough summary of the study of professional courses.

"Of course, I think all these professional courses are just the most basic things. If you want to truly make achievements in the field of materials, you must have the spirit of scientific research and be able to combine theory and experiment."

Ning Chen also agreed very much with Xu Zhou's point of view. Almost all science and engineering subjects are inseparable from experiments.

"Mr. Xu, I understand. I will learn the theoretical knowledge of materials science as soon as possible and strive to enter the laboratory as soon as possible."

Xu Zhou also admired Ning Chen's attitude very much. Of course, it was unknown whether Ning Chen would really do what he said.

Next, Xu Zhou took Ning Chen to visit his laboratory and introduced various experimental equipment and measuring instruments.

Ning Chen was no stranger to some of the equipment. This was equipment that Ning Chen had come into contact with when he was doing experiments in his previous life.

"By the way, Ning Chen, let me first remind you that you must be particularly careful when doing experiments. This 'caution' is not just about paying attention to safety, but also carefully protecting your experimental products."

"Some students have worked hard for several months to make crystal products, but they were accidentally blown away by the wind when they opened the window. There were also cases where the products were sprayed out by sneezing, and there were also cases where other people's products were accidentally treated as garbage. It was thrown away..."

Listening to Xu Zhou's story, Ning Chen couldn't help but laugh.

After introducing some situations in the materials laboratory to Ning Chen, Xu Zhou said:

"Okay, that's all I'll tell you today. You go back and study the textbooks I recommended to you first. If you have any questions, you can contact me. Let me tell you in advance that experiments in materials science are very hard, and it may be difficult to There is a huge gap between what you imagine.”

"Okay, teacher, I'll be ready."

Ning Chen naturally knows what the experimental environment of materials science is like. When he was doing experiments for his undergraduate graduation project, Ning Chen had a deep experience of this.

On a hot summer day, just wearing a long-sleeved lab coat and heavy protective shoes can be unbearable.

On this basis, some physically demanding experimental operations must be completed.

It was precisely because of these reasons that Ning Chen resolutely chose to change his career.

But now, Ning Chen has his own goal in mind and the motivation to fight for it.

These difficulties in the process will not stop Ning Chen from moving forward.

After coming out of Xuzhou's laboratory, Ning Chen returned to his dormitory, picked up his schoolbag, and went to the library to look for the professional course textbooks recommended by Xuzhou.

Fortunately, all the textbooks recommended by Xu Zhou can be found in the library, and the number of borrowed books by Ning Chen and Chen Tianpeng's library card is enough for Ning Chen to borrow all the books at once.

Ning Chen prefers to borrow more books at one time. On the one hand, it saves the trouble of returning books back and forth. On the other hand, it also allows Ning Chen to study in a cross-over manner, achieving better learning results.

After returning to her single dormitory with a schoolbag full of books, Ning Chen couldn't wait to study.

Perhaps because he had a certain foundation in materials science in his previous life, Ning Chen felt that it was not that difficult for him to learn this knowledge.

Of course, in addition to this, Ning Chen's excellent mental index and solid foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry also played a crucial role.

Ning Chen's material science subject experience bar is growing rapidly. In just a few days, Ning Chen's material science experience has exceeded 60 points, and it seems that the upgrade is not far away.

However, after that, Ning Chen gradually felt that the speed of accumulation of subject experience began to slow down.

"Strange, I seem to have encountered the same situation before when I was studying physics and chemistry."

At that time, Ning Chen thought it was just a coincidence, so he just spent more time finishing all the remaining experiences.

After encountering this situation for the third time, Ning Chen knew that there might be some deeper reason.

"Why didn't similar situations happen when I was studying mathematics? Could it be because of...experiments?"
