Chapter Twenty-Six: The Man in the 306 Dormitory

Founded in 1861, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT for short, is one of Cambridge's two iconic universities, and is a mecca for science and engineering students, so every year it is joined by the best science and engineering talent from around the world. If there is no crossing, with Bao Zixuan's strength in Oxford, it can only be at the middle level at best. Now it is different, with an understanding of the technology context in the next 50 years and a control of the investment direction, these are their own advantages.

Bao Zixuan came to this world-famous school, and he didn't let anyone from the company send it. His major is aviation power and mechanical manufacturing, Britain's aviation power has always been ranked in the forefront of the world, Bao Zixuan has completed all the credits when he was in Oxford, so the main task this time is to get the credits of mechanical manufacturing, as the birthplace of the world's first CNC machine tool, MIT's mechanical manufacturing major is the strongest on the planet, and there is no one.

It stands to reason that students should first study mechanical engineering to complete the course of aviation power, but many students in Xiangjiang will first transition to a British university for a period of time to adapt to the environment, so Bao Zixuan also completed the course of aviation power according to the tradition. The main direction of aviation power is theoretical design, while mechanical manufacturing is more practical operation, so you should learn first and then practice!

In his previous life, he had also come to this school, but he recruited engineers as a representative of Rolls-Royce, and he had a certain understanding of the professional division of this school. I quickly found the registration office for the mechanical manufacturing major, first took the certificate issued by Oxford University, and then paid a total of 22,000 US dollars for tuition, accommodation and textbooks for the next two years. Originally, he didn't have to pay so much money, but a week before the start of the semester, he applied for a single dormitory by phone, which is only a treatment for doctoral students, and as an undergraduate student, he has to pay an extra $2,000 per year. Now he is not short of such a little money, and many of his secrets cannot be easily discovered, and a relatively independent space is very important.

Bao Zixuan came to the dormitory of 306-3 in Building 5 of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which consists of a living room with 6 small houses, which is the best in the college, and the best is the teacher's apartment. When I entered the living room, I saw that several students were already chatting on the sofa and after greeting everyone. I entered my room, No. 3 is my room, after putting down my clothes, I saw this 30-square-meter cabin, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if I hadn't been a student for many years.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, interrupting his thoughts. Now the door is actually open, and when I look back, I see a tall student calling for myself. The young man's name was Joseph Kane and he was from Room 1. Joseph Kane is very tall, about 185 centimeters, with long hair that smells of hippies, and said to Bao Zixuan: "Hello, I'm Joseph, can you come out for a while!" Everyone wants to get to know each other, after all, they will live under the same roof in the future, and many things will be shared, so we can get to know each other better, okay?"

Bao Zixuan: "Of course it's no problem. I'll be out right away. After saying that, he followed Joseph to the living room, and at this time there were already four people waiting for them in the living room.

Joseph: "Everyone has finally arrived, the dormitory management committee has arranged for me to be the head of the dormitory, everyone is an adult, so let me introduce myself first! Everyone nodded in agreement.

"My name is Joseph Kane, you can call me Joseph, I'm from Cleveland, I came to MIT for my Ph.D. in computer science after my bachelor's and master's degrees at Stanford University, I love music and ice hockey, and I'm 24 years old. ”

Then a bear-looking man, who did look like a bear, who looked less like a student and more like a boxer or sumo wrestler, said: "My name is Romansky, you can call me Roman, I'm from Moscow, I just applied to study civil engineering at MIT, I like wilderness survival and adventure, I'm 23 years old." ”

Everyone looked at Romansky and was stunned, because of the Cold War factor, there was very little communication between the two countries, and Romansky could come from Moscow to Boston to study, which can be said to be a miracle.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Romansky immediately continued, "My mother is from Philadelphia. Everyone's faces showed the same expressions.

"Hello everyone, my name is Bao Zixuan, you can call me Bao, from Xiangjiang. After two years of aerodynamics at Oxford, he came to MIT to study mechanical engineering. He is 19 years old. Bao Zixuan introduced.

Then a man of distinctly Germanic descent began to explain: "My name is Thomas Marr, you can call me Thomas; After completing his undergraduate studies at the Technical University of Munich, he came to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study for a master's degree in electronic science, and he likes football and is 23 years old. "Thomas is a standard German handsome guy with an angular face, a high nose bridge, and blonde hair and blue eyes that are the most handsome of the six.

And then a black man started to say, "My name is Martin Griff; you can call me Martin, I'm from Philadelphia." After completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Philadelphia, he came to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to pursue a master's degree in architecture. Loves basketball and boxing, and is 24 years old. ”

The last young man, who was clearly of some Jewish descent, began to introduce himself: "My name is Michael Mellon, you can call me Michael, I'm from Pittsburgh, I've been studying at MIT, and I'm now pursuing a master's degree in nuclear physical engineering." Loves rugby, 22 years old. ”

In fact, many people abroad do not introduce their age, but Joseph wanted to understand the strength of these roommates, so he added age when he introduced it first, and everyone could only reveal their age later. Age is also a reflection of a person's strength, two people in the same position, one is 20 years old, the other is 25 years old, and it feels that the gap in ability is still very large, so when I heard that Bao Zixuan was only 19 years old, and he came here after two years of studying in Oxford, everyone has regarded him as an object that can be communicated together.

Joseph: "Now that everyone has been introduced, let's make some plans and arrangements for the dormitory! Since the dormitory will appoint me as the temporary head of the dormitory, then I will talk about the dormitory discipline at MIT." Everyone's room is cleaned by themselves, and there will be school cleaners in the common areas, but everyone should put away the garbage and not cause unnecessary trouble to others. And try not to bring girls back for the night, if you do, I hope to tell you in advance, at least cover for you, otherwise the administrator will find you trouble. ”

After saying that, everyone laughed. Everyone's expression is what you know. Seeing this, Bao Zixuan suddenly had a feeling of dreaming back to a teenager, although he was a teenager now, but he couldn't find that feeling, and suddenly after hearing Joseph say this, he had some teenage impulses. It seems that I still have to have more contact with these classmates, otherwise my youthful passion is about to wear out.

And at this time, the serious Michael Miron suddenly said: "Most of us MIT are men, even if there are girls, they are not very good-looking." If you don't have a girlfriend, I suggest you go to Harvard next door and take a spin!" everyone laughed again after seeing Michael say this seriously.

After chatting for a while, the six men all returned to their dormitories, and Bao Zixuan was also cleaning up his beds. After cleaning up, he called Hiroshi Hashimoto of Kuroun's company, told him the address, and then asked him to send the IBM small computer to his dormitory, and told the company's employees the phone number of the dormitory. There will still be some time to stay here in the future, and it is still necessary to complete the equipment. In less than 20 minutes, Hiroshi Hashimoto took Peng Yifei to their dormitory in Bao Zixuan, and saw that after a phone call from the new roommate, two people of Asian descent sent the latest computer, and everyone guessed that this was not an ordinary master.

After installing the computer, Bao Zixuan asked the two of them to go back. After learning about the company's construction outside the dormitory door, it seems that his plan is going to speed up.
