Chapter Seventy-Eight: Boarding
"Didn't you say you'd come and pick me up? I've been waiting for over an hour, why are you still at home? ”
While Link was still remembering, Peggy had already opened Link's door and glared at Link and began to question.
"Ah, I accidentally forgot about it just now." Link explained, and then said, "I'll clean up later, and we'll go over." ”
Now that the talent for precision has been obtained, there is no hurry to experiment, and after packing up, Link and Peggy go to Sheldon's house together.
It was Missy who opened the door, and when she saw Peggy, she immediately pulled her to chatter, compared to the ordinary relationship with Sheldon, Peggy got along very well with Missy.
After all, at Caltech, Peggy can't find any friends of the same age, plus she is young, and there are not many female friends, at most, some girls want to ask for information about Link from her, so they will chat with her.
Because of this, every time she comes back from vacation, Peggy often comes back to hang out with Missy, but Link and Sheldon talk more together.
In Sheldon's room, Missy and Peggy discuss various topics that the girl likes, while Sheldon says to Link:
"I am planning to build a nuclear reactor to provide free electricity to the whole town, and the relevant theoretical design has been completed, but there are not enough raw materials and funds yet, and I want to ask you to fund me."
"Ahem...... Sheldon, I don't think it's a good idea, you don't forget, you called a mine in Canada to get some uranium to make an atomic engine, and the FBI came to you. ”
"Ah, you're right." After a pause, Sheldon nodded with some disappointment: "This is indeed a problem, they did say that it is illegal to possess those things without permission." ”
"Then let's talk about something else, like your dissertation." Link changed the subject: "What is it about?" ”
Sheldon is also a college graduate, which is not surprising considering that The Big Bang Theory mentioned that he started working on his Ph.D. at the age of fourteen.
"Of course, no problem, and I've already read your and Peggy's graduation theses, I really didn't expect you two to solve the Fermat conjecture, many reports say that you may win the next Fields Medal, which makes me wonder when I will win the Nobel Prize in physics."
Sheldon said and looked at Peggy again, "But looking at her now, I can't imagine that she likes to talk to Missy about all that boring stuff." ”
Peggy and Missy also heard it, but they were used to ignoring Sheldon, and just rolled their eyes and ignored Sheldon, Link said:
"Sheldon, you have to know that in addition to academics, people also have to live, especially in many cases, inspiration comes from some inconspicuous things in life, if Newton is in the laboratory all day, how can he have the opportunity to be smashed by an apple."
Sheldon thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "You're right, so speaking of which, I found something.
Since I got to know you, you've been progressing faster and faster, and according to my statistics, your intelligence growth is directly proportional to the number of girls you've dated......"
Link was taken aback by Sheldon's sudden words, and said a little speechlessly: "Sheldon, how did you connect these two points, the two are not necessarily connected. ”
"I don't think so, because based on the IQ you showed when I first met you, and compared to the current IQ, I can feel a clear difference.
In addition to your IQ, your most prominent strength is obviously in finding a female mate, and many people in high school now remember you, and little George even thinks of you as his idol because he feels that he can't even handle all the vexatious fuss of his current girlfriend. ”
"That's an interesting theory." Peggy, who was next to her, also interjected at this time:
"Speaking of which, at Caltech, Link dates almost all different girls each week, and his IQ has really improved significantly since he was in high school."
"Peggy! Chanel's perfume is gone. ”
"Oh, okay!" Peggy then made a zip-up gesture on her lips, and Missy listened, "Wait a minute, Link, did he actually promise to give you Chanel's perfume?" ”
"He's got money now, anyway, he made a fortune in Las Vegas some time ago." "Compared to him, I was a poor man, because I was not yet an adult, so I couldn't do a lot of jobs that earned money, and my mother didn't give me enough pocket money," Peggy said.
I hate my age so much that even if the prize money for solving Fermat's conjecture is distributed, it will not be at my disposal, otherwise I can use the money to buy something I like. ”
"Wow, Las Vegas sounds cool, my grandmother used to talk about the past and I sometimes wonder when I can go there."
"It doesn't matter, we can go together when the time comes, it's not just a casino, it's also a tourist city, and when Link makes money in the casino, let's go shopping together, and I heard Link say that you can buy almost all fashion brands there."
"Link was able to make money in the casino? Grandma usually comes back with a loss, which is so much cooler than Sheldon's plan! ”
"I don't care about money, I just care about science." After Sheldon finished speaking, he said to Link: "Fortunately, little George will move out soon after graduation, and I will be able to have my own room then." ”
Hearing about Little George, Link casually asked, "Little George is indeed graduating this year, what is he busy with now?" ”
"He's mainly a salesman now, and he's looking for a suitable house to move out with his girlfriend," Missy said.
I'm also happy that I will finally have my own room, and maybe when I graduate from high school, I can move out with my boyfriend. ”
Peggy asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?" ”
"There are a couple of boys chasing me, I'm thinking about it." Missy said, "But you know, boys are stupid. ”
"Haha, you're right, they're all stupid!" Peggy glanced at Link as she spoke.
A few people passed the afternoon like this, and when it was almost dinner time, Link and Peggy left together, and Peggy said at this time: "Link, when I study for my master's degree in the future, I guess I will board near the school." ”
Link was slightly taken aback: "What's going on, Aunt Linda doesn't continue to accompany you?" ”
"She talked about a boyfriend who runs a car wash in the town and is about to get married."
"That means she won't stay in California for long after she gets married." Link nodded, looked at Peggy again, and asked, "And what do you think?" ”
"Nothing." "She said she wanted me to do a master's degree at the nearby University of Texas at Austin, but I refused, and I wanted to stay at Caltech," Peggy said.
So I needed to find a suitable homestay, and I contacted Professor Adler and she said she would be happy to let me stay in her home. ”
"Already decided?"
"Almost, there's nothing wrong with that, Dr. Diane Adler is a very kind person, and I'm 13 years old."
"Professor Adler is a very good person, but as far as I know, she lives with her mother, Evelyn, who is a very authoritarian person.
When we met her before, she liked to point fingers, and even when I took you to Disneyland, she said that it was the biggest waste of your talent. ”
"It's okay, she can't control me yet, and isn't there still you? Didn't you say before that you have recently saved some money to buy a suitable house near the school, and if you can't stand it anymore, I can go to you. ”
