Chapter 1, Qin Yi
On March 11, 2020, the imperial capital was sunny and clear, and there was still a hint of winter cold in March, but the earth was rejuvenated, everything recovered, and the campus of Huaxia University was thriving.
The students were sweating on the playground, singing about their youth under the shade of the grass, or immersed in the ocean of knowledge in the library.
College is the best time of life, without the burden of life after graduation and the burden of high school before college.
In this green campus, there are only poems and dreams.
Qin Yi carried his schoolbag and hurriedly walked towards the direction of the library, although it was only 7 o'clock, but if he didn't go to the library earlier, he would definitely not be able to grab an ideal good position.
Huaxia University, as the top university in China, is most nervous not about anything else, but the location of the library, even if Qin Yi arrives at the library at about 7 o'clock every morning, there are already hundreds of people waiting in line at the door of the library.
Here, there are poor students like Qin Yi who were born in the countryside, and there are also rich and noble children with prominent backgrounds, but no matter what their backgrounds are, almost all of them who can enter Huaxia University are top students.
Throw a piece here in Huaxia University and turn your head down, it is very likely that you can hit several champions, although this is a bit exaggerated, but it is enough to show how many students gather here.
There are a lot of things in common between the top students and the top students, and diligence is one of the most prominent.
After staying here for a long time, Qin Yi knows very well that many people are not only better than you, smarter than you, but the key is to be more diligent than you.
Before the library opened, hundreds of people were waiting in a neat line in a very orderly manner, and there was no chaos in the scene, let alone any sound.
I can't see anyone who eats, and even if there are familiar people talking about something with each other, they will be very quiet, for fear of disturbing others, or read a book silently, or listen to a song quietly with headphones.
Qin Yi looked at the long line, and regretted that he didn't get up earlier today, it seems that it is not easy to grab an ideal position today.
"I'm a senior in the second half of the year, and it's really too much reluctance to leave this nostalgic place soon."
Qin Yi quietly looked at everything on campus, and in the second half of his junior year, Qin Yi suddenly felt that time passed so fast, and in a blink of an eye, he was already about to be a senior, and he still clearly remembered everything in his mind when he had just entered the school, as if it happened yesterday.
In a flash, three years are about to pass, and the remaining senior year can actually be regarded as graduation for most college students, especially in Huaxia University, many people have already completed all their studies early, and they have basically started to study abroad, graduate school entrance examinations, or work internships in their senior year.
Qin Yi has already thought about his future development direction, he is ready to continue to study for graduate school and take the doctoral examination, as for studying abroad, it is still unrealistic for Qin Yi, the economic situation of his family cannot support him to study abroad at all, as for studying abroad at public expense, it is difficult and difficult to apply now.
After several decades of reform and opening up, China has achieved leaps and bounds in all aspects, the country has become more and more prosperous and powerful, and it has become quite confident in many aspects, and it no longer needs to learn from the West everywhere as it did when it was backward and beaten more than 100 years ago.
What's more, students who study abroad at public expense always have a feeling that stealing chickens and rice is not successful, and it is easy to send the talents they have worked hard to cultivate abroad, but once the talents go abroad, many of them will never come back.
Qin Yi's major is power engineering and engineering thermophysics, which has a very high depth of knowledge requirements and is a very professional discipline.
"I earn money while studying, and my parents are old, so I can't put too much pressure on them."
Qin Yi sighed lightly, thinking back to his college life for several years, although he lived a very fulfilling life, every day he was either in class, charging in the reading hall or working as a tutor to earn living expenses, and he simply did not have the time and energy to enjoy the passionate love of the youth campus, which may be a thing that Qin Yi has regretted very much until now.
In fact, when it comes to this matter, Qin Yi feels that he is a little inferior, in this colorful campus, Qin Yi, who has not received much training since he was a child, can neither sing, nor play guitar, piano, nor any talent, and more importantly, his family is very poor, it is inevitable that he will have low self-esteem, even if he meets a girl he likes, he has never had the courage to confess to others.
In a flash, he was already a junior, and he became a senior in the mouth of his younger brothers and sisters, seeing that he was about to run for the future, thinking of this, Qin Yi couldn't help but shake his head again, regret it, regret it, maybe leave some regrets to miss everything in this university more in the future.
As time passed, the queue at the entrance of the library became longer and longer, and soon it was time for the library to open, and the long queue entered in a very orderly manner, still very quiet, still very quiet.
Qin Yi was very lucky, he picked up a position by the window, took out his book and began to study quietly, Qin Yi enjoyed this feeling of immersion in knowledge, because when you are immersed in something, you will find that time flies quickly, quickly.
In a flash, the time of the day passed, and at ten o'clock in the evening, the night was hazy, and the slightest cold wind made people can't help but tighten their clothes.
Qin Yi carried his schoolbag and walked back to the dormitory slowly, he liked this feeling of fulfillment, and after a busy day, he walked slowly around the campus.
Take a look at the flowers and trees on campus, or find a corner where no one is around, staring at the starry sky at night, or find a chair in the summer and listen to your favorite songs.
Qin Yi walked and walked to an uninhabited lawn, put his schoolbag very casually, lay on the lawn, and looked at the bright starry sky with his hands on his pillow.
The moon is in the sky, the stars are twinkling, Huaxia has played a role in the management of the environment over the years, if in the past, this is the most serious time of haze, not to mention the stars at night, you can even see the moon.
"I don't know when we humans will be able to really leave the earth and enter the interstellar universe to explore this vast and boundless universe."
"I don't know if there are really aliens on the other side of this starlight?"
Qin Yi looked at the starry sky, and suddenly thought of whether there were aliens in his mind, human science and technology have developed to the present, the scope of exploration is getting larger and larger, with the help of the most advanced Hubble space telescope, human beings have even been able to observe celestial bodies more than 10 billion light years away.
But so far, human beings have not discovered any extraterrestrial civilizations, and more about aliens exist in science fiction novels and movies, so much so that some people even say that human beings are the only intelligent life in the entire universe.
Although this concept seems to scientists to be a feeling of sitting in a well and watching the sky, not to mention how vast the universe is, in the Milky Way alone, there are about 1000-400 billion planetary systems like the solar system, and the solar system is just a very insignificant dot in the vast galaxy, and the galaxy is a drop in the ocean in the entire vast universe.
"The means of transportation is the thing that really restricts the pace of civilization development, and the power that determines the means of transportation, perhaps only if we really master more advanced power technology, we can really soar in the universe and stars, to explore the world on the other side of the stars, maybe at that time, the age of interstellar exploration will follow."
Qin Yi, who studied power engineering, naturally felt that power is the foundation of the progress and development of human civilization, just like other people who study this major.
Since the first industrial revolution, from the very beginning of steam power, to the second industrial internal combustion engine, and then to the electric motor, the power technology mastered by human beings has become more and more powerful, and the development of human civilization has become faster and faster.
In the past, I thought that the earth was very big, but now the whole earth is slowly developing in the direction of the global village, the popularization of high-speed rail and airplanes, the speed of human travel is getting faster and faster, and the area visited is getting bigger and bigger.
Of course, different people have their own views on the root of human progress, and sociologists will feel that the root of human progress lies in the emancipation of the mind and the emancipation of the self, so there is the rapid development of science and technology.
Educationalists will believe that the progress of mankind is due to the promotion of education and the popularization of knowledge, and everyone has more knowledge than ever before, so that everything is today.
Chemists would believe that the progress of mankind was due to the emancipation of the mind, the innovation of the political system, and so on, because of the mastery of gunpowder and the use of powerful artillery to shatter everything of the religious knights of the Middle Ages.
For Qin Yi, he believes that the root of human progress and development is power technology, which determines what kind of transportation human beings use, and the means of transportation determine the size of human activities.
"If you want to really enter the space age, it is not feasible to rely on the current rocket technology, the cost is too high, and before mastering more advanced power technology, we human beings can only be confined to the blue planet of the earth."
Thinking of this, Qin Yi couldn't help but shake his head, although the current rockets, aero engines, etc. are becoming more and more powerful, but in essence, the root of this technology is still the technology of internal combustion engines, the technology that relies on burning fuel to generate power.
There has been no substantial breakthrough in the power technology mastered by mankind for more than 100 years.
