Chapter 566: A Happy Study Life Begins
The name Bob Kornberg is different from the common names in Europe and the United States, and has a strong Jewish character.
"Yes, you are also very lucky, you have become a classmate with Liu Lang, a genius, I will definitely treat everyone equally, you can study hard!"
"Mom!"
Everyone else cast sympathetic glances at this Kornberg, who usually couldn't stand it, and now Claire has to discipline him strictly, it's like killing people!
Kornberg just nodded, he didn't know much about this Claire professor, only knew that this tutor was a nationally famous mechanical expert, but he didn't know that this person's personality was very quirky, but he felt a little bad when he saw other people's expressions, but then again, he was here to learn, and it didn't matter if he could learn knowledge and suffer a little.
"Okay, today is the first day of school, there are no classes, the rest of the time will be handed over to you, everyone should familiarize yourself with it!"
Professor Phelps finished his speech and Professor Clare turned away.
Seeing the two tutors leave, the students became lively, and most of them gathered around Liu Lang.
"Your name is Jimmy, wow, what a kid!"
A student touched Liu Lang's arm, thin and weak, indeed much worse than an adult
"Are you Chinese?"
A female classmate asked.
"No, I'm not Chinese, I'm Chinese!"
"Then you speak English very well! I have a Chinese neighbor who speaks English very awkwardly!"
Another student said.
A group of people treat Liu Lang as a child, in fact, Liu Lang said that he is eight or nine years old, and his physical development is similar, but his classmates are all twenty-four or five years old, one of them has reached two meters tall, and there is no problem playing basketball.
Liu Lang and these classmates communicated happily, and soon got together, and everyone found that this child's insight was beyond mortals, and he had his own unique views on everything.
"Liu Lang, do you think the Soviet Union and your country will fight a world war?"
Young people in the United States are born with the enthusiasm for social participation, to put it bluntly, they are a group of American "angry youth", not only very enthusiastic about the politics of their own country, but also very concerned about the situation in the world, Liu Lang is from China, Americans are full of curiosity about this strange country, and at the same time everything about China is unknown to them, they only know that China and the Soviet Union are a kind of system, and now the relationship between China and the United States is very good, but the relationship between the Soviet Union and China is very bad.
"Hehe, there is no doubt about the strength of the United States, as for the Soviet Union......... Well, maybe in another year or two they will cease to exist!"
Liu Lang replied with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
The crowd was taken aback.
"Well, it's hard to say, anyway, everyone will understand in another year or two, but our China will soon become stronger!"
The collapse of the Soviet Union was too complicated, and Liu Lang didn't bother to explain it.
"You Chinese population is too large, I'm afraid there must be two billion people! As long as you can solve the problem of eating these people, it will be a great thing!"
One person said.
"Where are there two billion people! Our country is only one billion people now, this big brother, you have studied hard, at least you have to get the data accurate!"
"Liu Lang, what do you think of President Reagan's attitude toward the Soviet Union?"
One student asked.
"This actor's abilities are still good, and his Star Wars plan is very imaginative, but it's just a political ploy!"
Reagan was an actor in Hollywood when he was young, but only second-rate, and later became one of his resumes, his most famous is the Star Wars program, which is simply nonsense, the Americans have never implemented it, but it made the Soviet Union nervous, and then invested a lot of money to develop its own space technology, which increased the burden on the people and became the last straw for the collapse of the Soviet Union.
No one knows about these things now, and they will only be announced after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and then these people will know how prescient Liu Lang is.
In short, Liu Lang quickly became acquainted with these people.
This is how Liu Lang's graduate career began.
Graduate school is a kind of professional education, which is more professional and oriented than the undergraduate level, and the difference between the two sides is that the scope of study of graduate students is narrower, but the content is deepened a lot.
Generally speaking, one-third of Liu Lang's courses are public courses, of course, this public course is aimed at more than 30 students of the School of Engineering Machinery, all of which are very professional subjects, such as material metallurgy, statics, dynamics, circuit analysis, engineering drawing, mechanical vibration, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, automatic control and thermodynamics, etc.
The remaining one-third of the time will be in contact with Professor Claire alone, and the professor will give Liu Lang and the Bob some questions for the two to answer, such as the combustion rate of the engine in different states, such as the calculation of the wear degree of the engine block, etc., of course, these questions are only elementary problems, and the difficulty of the problems will continue to increase as the two of them learn deeply.
The remaining one-third of the time is the free allocation of time, but this free allocation is also limited, their respective tutors often give students some extracurricular questions, such as Professor Claire gave Liu Lang and Bob a topic, let them analyze the stress tolerance of different kinds of engines, this topic actually involves materials and metallurgy, need to be discussed with students from other disciplines, the purpose of this is to let everyone learn to communicate with each other, after all, whether it is an engine or a machine tool, they are the same, and it is impossible to solve the problem alone by putting aside one aspectIn the eyes of Americans, no matter how strong a person's ability is, it can't be compared with the team, only by collaborating with each other can one thing be done well, without the team, the ability of the individual is insignificant.
Of course, in addition to these learning contents, Stanford University, like other universities, is full of various student "clubs", which are equivalent to domestic student unions, such as drama, performance, bodybuilding, painting, music, karate, etc., these "clubs" have to recruit members every year, anyone can sign up, but they have to go through the screening of old members, and there are also some mysterious organizations, similar to what Yale's Skull and Bones Club, this kind of organization is only for some special groups, such as "rich second generation" and "political second generation" Such people also have the characteristics of racial discrimination, such as being white or Mexican, Liu Lang thinks this should be called the hometown association.
Liu Lang is not interested in these groups, and no one asks him to join any organization, so what is he looking for a child for? If he is ridiculed by others, it will be troublesome, and if it is more serious, if someone sues you for child labor, you will have to go to court.
Of course, even if he is looking for Liu Lang, he will be politely refused, his time is limited, except for studying is studying, how can there be so much work and useless talking to these people.
