Chapter 0476 - A Woman Who Studied Philosophy
It's not that Rocky has never seen rich people, and there are many rich students in the school, but they don't tip more than $1 each time.
Li Zitao's generosity, to be honest, made Rocky feel a little distressed, he felt that if he continued like this, he would have to be admitted to the hospital sooner or later.
"Your classmate, roommate, and friend, Rocky, don't worry about that, just remember that we're friends. Li Zitao emphasized with a light smile.
"Well, friend, it looks like I'm in luck. Hearing him say this, Rocky relaxed, laughed and stopped asking about his identity.
In fact, as long as he pays more attention to the newspaper half a year ago, he will recognize who his new roommate is, but unfortunately he has no habit of saving old newspapers.
Back at school, with nothing to do in the afternoon, Li Zitao decided to go to the library to have a look.
The dormitory building in the library is not far away, walk right along the main road in front of the dormitory building for about 5 minutes, and then cross an alley, and find the library after two buildings.
The three-meter-tall Spanish structure looks inconspicuous, but the inside is unique.
The overall wooden wall, the large fish-belly-like fireplace, and the center of the ceiling is a rounded glass skylight, which is a bit like splitting the rocket in half.
The interior space is cut into separate spaces by beams, with bookshelves backed by beams, and reading areas and corridors in the middle.
At the registration office, you can borrow books for free with your student ID, but you should pay attention to the borrowing time, and if you overtime several times in a row, the library will penalize and restrain the borrower.
There are many books in the library, but most of them are related to physics, geology, biology and aeronautics, and there are not many books and materials on economics.
At this time, Caltech's most dazzling science was physics and aeronautics, thanks to Michigan and von Kármán.
Zhao's mentor, Michigan, was a Nobel laureate, and brought out his Nobel Prize student, which made Caltech physics even more famous.
Not to mention von Kármán's fame, he was an authority in the field of aviation.
At the same time, Michigan is also the chairman of the college's executive committee, that is, the president of the entire Caltech, and the development of the college is more or less influenced by him.
From his Nobel Prize as chair to now, Caltech is increasingly inclined to research.
This is also where the students complain, they always feel that the distance between the professor and the student is too far, and each professor is busy experimenting.
However, because of this, Caltech students have the potential to participate in experimental projects in their freshman year, so that their learning goes beyond pure theory.
Li Zitao sat in the historical classification area and flipped through the book "The History and Development of Caltech" with relish.
"This book focuses on the contributions of several professors to the college, and it is more of a history than a biography. The sound of a stool being pulled, and then the beautiful long brown hair burst into the corner of his eye, and someone sat next to him.
Looking up, the first thing that attracted Li Zitao was a pair of pale blue eyes, which were dancing with a shiny luster, as if they could laugh comfortably.
The knife-cut three-dimensional facial features make her expression a little fierce, but it makes people remember it at a glance and leave an unforgettable impression.
"Hello, Morena. The other party stretched out his hand and said.
"Hello Charlie. Li Zitao closed the book and smiled: "Have you read this book?"
Morena nodded, and said in a low voice, "If you want to learn about school history, I suggest you go to A Brief History of California or Education and Social Change." ”
Li Zitao looked at the book in her hand, "The First Philosophical Meditations", by René Descartes.
"Philosophy?" Li Zitao asked with some surprise.
"Isn't it strange? In my opinion, the most important thing for a woman to learn is philosophy, to be able to liberate the mind, strengthen the heart and spirit, and change the world. ”
Seeing the other party's serious expression, Li Zitao smiled and thought it was better to end the topic.
People who study philosophy are terrible, and women who study philosophy are even more terrible.
Just three words will change the world, and you will be even more than your father.
To be honest, Li Zitao has always felt that people who study philosophy are idle and have nothing to do.
I remember a philosophical question about two people seeing a flower at the same time, one person said, 'It's so red,' and the other person said, 'Yes!'
And then the philosophers discussed, 'Do the two of them mean the same thing?'
How do you prove that the 'red' in the eyes of others is the same as the 'red' you say, just like how do you know that the 'cat' you see and the 'cat' you say are cats.
Li Zitao thought of a question at that time, "How do you prove that your mother is your mother, your father is your father, and you are you?"
It's really an idle egg that hurts.
However, if she is willing to discuss Greek mythology, Li Zitao is quite interested, hehehe
Finding that Li Zitao had no intention of continuing the conversation, Morena focused on the book in front of her.
She just saw Li Zitao's complexion, and was looking through the books that understood the history of Caltech, thinking that he chose the wrong book and did not fully understand the history of the school, so she just made a small suggestion.
Of course, there is some curiosity in this.
There are only 2,000 students at Caltech, and the number of Chinese faces has never exceeded double digits, so it is inevitable that there will be some curiosity.
After reading books quietly in the library for a few hours, and opening the pocket watch to see that the time was about the same, Li Zitao put the book back and got up to leave.
Back at the door of the dormitory, Li Zitao drove the car to the club activity area behind the college.
Constance William's members came from wealthy families, so they approached the academy for land and raised money to build a villa with a lawn and swimming pool as a place for their activities.
The villa was surrounded by an iron fence, and as soon as Li Zitao parked the car at the door, he saw Mo Rena coming from behind.
"Why is she here?" Li Zitao thought for a moment and said in his heart, "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
"See you again. After getting out of the car, Li Zitao stood by the car door and waved to her.
"You're here... Oh, you want to join the Brotherhood?" said Morena with a blank face, as if her previous act of rushing to end the topic had left a bad impression on the other party.
"I heard from my roommate about Constance William's purpose, social parties, which suited me very well. Li Zitao said as he lifted the banner on the body.
Large pieces of pork belly wrapped in kraft paper, crates of beer, and Louis Roederer champagne secured with a rope in the center.
The golden liquid shone like a king's crown, and Morina's eyes lit up.
"I think you need to get someone to help, wait here. Morina said as she pushed open the iron gate and walked into the villa with a slightly brisk pace.
After a while, there was a lively cheer from inside, followed by a few young men, who strode straight towards him.
