Chapter 41: Early Graduation
Yesterday, William accompanied his mother Lena to watch the ball and saw 10 o'clock, and chatted with Lina again, talking about the coffee shop she opened, Lena named the coffee shop, Devon Hill Coffee Shop, which is really trouble-free, William complained in his heart.
Foreigners always like to name companies or estates with their surnames, but William remembered that the company he founded seemed to be called Devon Hill Industries, and he was influenced by Stark Industries. Forget it, the eldest won't talk about the second.
It was almost 12 o'clock before Lena let William go to bed.
The next day, William slept until more than 10 o'clock and didn't get up, there was nothing to do these days, he thought about whether to go to school to apply for graduation or something, he really didn't want to go to school now, he didn't have money before and still wanted to stay in school, but now that he has money, his mind has already flown out of school.
As soon as he thought of it, William picked up the phone and called his professor, Roy Stephen.
"Toot beep" The phone was answered and William said, "Hello, good morning, Professor Roy, I'm William Devonhill"
"Hello, good morning, William, is there anything to do with me?" Professor Roy asked
William said: "That's right, professor, I want to apply for graduation, can the school arrange a graduation defense for me? or if not, I want to take a leave of absence, you know the professor, I don't have much time to stay in school now, and I think I can graduate with the knowledge I have now, so I want to apply to the school for graduation."
Professor Roy on the other side thought for a while and said: "Okay, William, your situation is a bit special, and your performance during this period of time also makes me recognize your knowledge mastery, I can apply to the school for you, and you will know the results in the afternoon soon, you wait for me to know!"
William hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, professor, thank you very much, then I'll wait for your call"
"Well, I'll inform you there's news, goodbye, William"
"Okay, Professor, goodbye"
After the call, Professor Roy hung up, William got up and freshened up, and sat alone on the sofa on the first floor, eating the breakfast that Lena had left for him, while thinking about what he said about his graduation defense.
William is reading the knowledge of the system in his mind, combined with the current computer situation, William thinks that he can talk about cloud storage, in fact, cloud storage has been around for a long time, but it was called network disk at that time, and now there is no cloud storage so good-sounding, easy-to-understand name.
This kind of thing that has been rotten on the street for more than ten years is still a new thing, and it is easy to fool venture capital, so it is decided that this is it.
Except for some takeout at noon, William has been writing on the computer for the rest of the time, and he wants to think that those things can't be written now, and if they are too advanced, they can't get along with themselves, and these are all money.
And he doesn't want to be like the Tesla of Edison's contemporary, because he is too smart, he invents things that are jealous, hateful, and treated as monsters, just half a step ahead, he is a bachelor's degree, for him with a system, things are really too simple, unlike William's graduation thesis torture in his previous life.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, William received a call from Professor Roy, asking him to rush to the school's computer department at 3 p.m., and the department would arrange for three professors to defend him in the afternoon.
William got dressed and drove to the school in a Porsche 911, pinching the highest speed limit all the way, and arrived at the school before half past two.
Many people in the school have already heard that William will come to the school this afternoon for his graduation defense, and the venue arranged by the school for the defense is a large multimedia classroom.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the professors came to the classroom on time, and after everyone was seated, William, who had been waiting on the side, walked up to the stage to say hello to the three professors, and the back of the classroom was full of school students, and William even saw more than a dozen reporters with cameras.
This reporter came in like this, William asked in a whisper to today's class headmaster.
The head of the classroom said to William: "Originally, it was not very good to give you a graduation defense at this time, the school was afraid of being troubled, so I let these reporters in, a few of today's reporters are people from science magazines, if you pass the graduation defense, they can save a lot of trouble."
William understood, the school didn't want him, a popular fried chicken, to drop out because he didn't have time to come to school, and a public graduation defense would allow William to graduate smoothly, and the school's many rich alumni who got their wish could also block the discussion in the society.
Professor Roy and William were ready and said, "Alright, let's get started, William."
The defense took William more than 3 hours, first 3 professors asked questions, and finally the editors-in-chief of the scientific journals also began to ask questions, fortunately William has systematic help, he can remember what he has learned in the system, and it is easy to understand, which is probably about the life of the hanger.
The reason why William took so long was not that he couldn't say it, but that he had to be careful how he said it, and he didn't want to suddenly tell the technical knowledge that would be more than ten years later.
There can be a prospect, but if even the specific technology is said, it will not be the surprised expressions of the professors and editors-in-chief now, but the expressions of looking at youkai.
In the end, when the professors and editors-in-chief were all right, William breathed a sigh of relief.
Professor Roy, who was sitting in the middle, consulted with the other two professors, and then got up to consult with the editors of scientific journals, and after the discussion was done, Professor Roy sat down on the main seat and said to William:
"William Devonhill, I have consulted with 2 professors and several editors-in-chief and unanimously decided that your graduation application has been approved, congratulations William"
Now there was warm applause, and everyone was impressed by William's performance, and many doctoral students in the school felt that William's knowledge was higher than that of all of them.
William nodded to everyone and thanked him: "Thank you, thank you to the three professors and the editors-in-chief, thank you, thank you"
Sitting next to Professor Roy, he thought the professor said: "No, William, I don't think you need to thank us, your performance today I think you can apply for a doctorate, William, have you ever thought about continuing to study for a doctorate in school? I think your current level, you can apply for a doctoral defense after staying in school for a year."
Everyone in the classroom was surprised when they heard the professor say that William could graduate with a doctorate in today's defense, William Devonhill, you are going to heaven, we are still tossing in the undergraduate, you can graduate with a doctorate now, is the gap between geniuses and ordinary people so big? And we are the University of London, and the one who can be admitted to the University of London is not a scholar.
The editor-in-chief of a scientific journal stood up and said: "I agree with the professor's words, William, the knowledge you have now is not at all something that ordinary doctoral students can grasp, I even think you can apply for an associate professor at the University of London, we just asked a lot of technologies that are now popular, and many of the ideas you answered are groundbreaking, I now admit that you are a genius, congratulations, William".
