Chapter 8 When there is no money, money is everything

Xia Ming's fighting spirit is back, but he is no longer as excited as before, it is just a passionate determination like discovering a new continent, and now he is serious.

One year to build a foundation (graduate students), three years to get a Dan (to get a degree), this is Xia Ming's plan. With the help of R3AI, he felt that even if he couldn't compare to a freak like Tang Xiaotang, he could at least catch up with Lin Cheng's progress. After that, the Hedao (becoming the core of the research team) and the Mahayana (producing results), as long as there is a foundation, I believe it will not exceed ten years.

The building must be built high, and the foundation must be solid. Xia Ming no longer collected the materials listed by Lin Cheng, but downloaded the university textbooks on mathematics, English, and computer principles, and planned to spend three months to transfer himself from a liberal arts monk to a science dog, and planned to complete mathematics in the first month.

Then he realized that the plan might have been a gap with reality again, but this time it was a good one.

After actually learning, Gao Ming realized how much R3AI has changed him.

Studying mathematics, such as the Newton-Leibniz formula of calculus, is taught in a very brief manner, and even with the addition of supplementary materials, for a liberal arts monk like him, who has lost most of his high school mathematics, he can't gnaw it at all like a black bread of hair.

He also searched the Internet for a lot of information about this formula, including how it was discovered, how Newton and Leibniz expressed it differently, how it was later combined, and what the meaning of this formula was. After he enters the R3AI management mode, each item and step of the formula can correspond to other data, which is like milk, soaking the brown bread softly.

In other words, R3AI not only helps him eliminate the memory link in learning, but also adds the function of "associative understanding", which is more important than the former. To know that the teacher lectures, the focus is on this aspect.

Xia Ming realized that as long as there was enough information, the higher the level of his "teaching" would be.

This is not the only surprise that R3AI has brought him, he found that once his consciousness enters the management mode of R3AI, he has no distractions at all, he is extremely focused on learning, and his efficiency has increased exponentially. And after learning it, the things that need to be understood, such as formulas, theories, methods, and logic, are like engraved in the mind, and they are very clear.

Another surprise was even more significant, on the night when Xia Ming and Li Diluo were drinking, Xia Ming was fascinated by learning mathematics, and it was already past three o'clock in the middle of the night when he came back to his senses. I can only sleep for three or four hours, and my spirit must be very poor during the day, but I didn't expect him to wake up by himself before the alarm clock rings in the morning, and he is still refreshed, and his state is unbelievably good. It's just that I'm hungry and panicked, and when I saw Li Diluo, I was thinking about steaming or braising it......

Originally, he thought that it might be because he was too hungry, but in the next few days, with the support of supper, he learned that in the middle of the night, he was still full of energy when he woke up in the morning, which must be the credit of R3AI. In short, as long as he stays in management mode long enough every night, the quality of sleep will be very high, and it is estimated that it is all deep sleep.

Overall, R3AI allows him to avoid endorsing (or reading, of course), having to explain to a teacher, not wasting every minute, and only needing a maximum of four hours of sleep a day.

Xia Ming learned very hard to learn the buffs at this level, and he wanted to find out more buffs, but R3AI's answer was: "The original operation has no documentation, and the host needs to explore it on its own." ”

Well, I'm really greedy......

Xia Ming made a comparative calculation, a college student, the annual class time is calculated as 40 weeks, 48 class hours and 40 hours per week, the four years of college is 6400 hours, according to the standard of diligent students plus self-study time, it is 8000 hours. This is only theoretical, the senior year course is quite loose, and the second half of the senior year is even more sheep, but so be it.

Of these 8,000 hours, a quarter is spent on memorizing, a quarter of the time is spent on distractions or meaningless things, and at most half of the time is actually spent on studying, half of which is spent listening to the teacher's explanation, and half is used to do questions or exams. At most, a quarter of these times are spent in the best state of learning.

As for him, he doesn't have to endorse and review, just read a book at a glance; There is no need for exams, just a little practice to deepen your understanding; No distraction, all study time is at its best. If he calculates that he studies for one hour, it is at least equivalent to eight hours for the average person.

In other words, Xia Ming only needs to spend 1,000 hours to complete the four-year college course of the average person. Eight hours a day, four months to complete.

It took Xia Ming four days to finish college calculus, after all, he still had to make up some high school math, and it would take some work to "enter" the materials. In order to save time, he reads books and materials when he goes to work.

Xia Ming's work in the research institute is quite easy, after Lin Cheng has done a good job of monitoring the server, all he has to do is to stare at the display screen of the server, see which computer has a fault prompt, and go to see what the specific problem is. If the parts are broken, they will be replaced, but if they are dead and in poor contact, they will be cleaned or plugged and unplugged a few times.

His "odor diagnosis method" has been used very skillfully, and the smell produced by each malfunction is different, of course people can't smell it, and even Wang Xingren can't smell it, but he can "see" it. In his consciousness space, each computer has its own "smell map", what is normal and abnormal, and what faults are corresponding to abnormal "smell map", these are all clear at a glance.

This job is easy for him, but it is different for others. Lin Cheng said that in the past, there were three interns in the peripheral computer room, and even when the server load was the lightest, and there were only about 20 failures a day, they were all very busy. On the day of the accident, all three interns ran away. In the past few days, the server has been re-online, and there are hundreds of failures every day, which Xia Ming not only solves easily, but also has a lot of free time.

"I have to ask Professor Xu to raise your salary, it's really lucky that the institute can recruit you!"

Lin Cheng was full of praise for Xia Ming, with Xia Ming here, he could devote himself to his work.

"Just do this little work, what's embarrassing, I see that Professor Xu is also very busy now."

Xia Ming didn't care much about the salary or something, he noticed that the atmosphere in the institute was a little tense, not only Professor Xu soaked in the core computer room in the basement all day long, but Tang Xiaotang was the same. In the past few days, I have met her occasionally, and he is still having a headache about how to ease the relationship, but he didn't expect people to turn a blind eye to him at all. Xia Ming felt that it wasn't that she was still angry, but that she was so busy that she couldn't remember that there was still him.

Lin Cheng's face has always been very vivid, this is a technical nerd who doesn't understand human feelings and sophistication than Xia Ming, with a sigh, Xia Ming knew that the institute must have encountered a problem, could it be related to the time that Director Wang said on the day of the report?

"Yes, the year-end research has to produce results, and it has only been more than three months, so of course Professor Xu is in a hurry. It's not just about the schedule, uh, it doesn't matter to you, just take care of the computer room. ”

Although Lin Cheng was covering up, recalling Director Wang's words before, Xia Ming was sure that the institute also had problems with funding. However, it is certainly not that he will not be unable to pay the salary of such a small intern, and the funds that can give Professor Xu a headache are naturally a large amount.

More than three months...... You can also learn to understand what Lin Cheng said, it's too late.

Xia Ming likes his current job very much, not just because it gives him a purpose in life. If the university is an ivory tower, the institute is a diamond tower, where he can do his own thing quietly and attentively. Although he studied journalism, he was very resistant to this industry that was completely dealing with people, and never thought of doing this business after graduation.

He hoped to help the institute, but it seemed that he couldn't catch up.

At noon, the cafeteria was empty, looking at the dishes on the plate, Xia Ming smiled bitterly: "Auntie, can you change it tomorrow?" ”

The huge mother raised her stubby eyebrows: "I have to listen to Xiaotang's explanation, and I can't really let you just gnaw on the bones, making this braised pork ribs is more laborious than stir-frying, you kid (zei) still dislike it!?" ”

"It's okay to change sweet and sour pork ribs", Xia Ming's rice has increased recently, and the taste has also changed.

Huge Mom said disdainfully: "Can you eat free ribs every day in the university cafeteria?" ”

Xia Ming was speechless, and his mother looked left and right, and lowered her voice: "What do you have to do with Xiaotang?" It's just that if the little couple makes an awkward fuss, the aunt won't listen to Xiaotang. ”

I knew it was going to be like this...... Xia Ming hurriedly explained: "It was me who made the second mistake that day, auntie, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Also, who is Xiaotang? You're like a schoolboy in front of her", the big mother squinted her eyes with a "I know" expression.

Without waiting for Xia Ming to breathe a sigh of relief, the aunt's words changed again: "However, even if you are a fairy, there is a time to marry Dong Yong, don't take your mind away because of your aunt's words, you have to go when you should go!" ”

What can Xia Ming say? Eat honestly.

Speaking of Tang Xiaotang, he was indeed a little touched. If it weren't for the accident that day, I could only look up to people like her for the rest of my life, but now it's different.

Thinking of this, Xia Ming felt that studying was more urgent, and now he went from eight o'clock in the evening to three or four o'clock in the middle of the night, which was only seven or eight hours, could he still squeeze out more time?

There was only Xia Ming in the cafeteria, and his mother was chatting with him without a match, where are the people, what unit are the parents, and where do they live now......

"Outside the South Third Ring Road, it takes three or four hours to commute every day, alas, Yan Duda has this problem."

The nagging of the huge mother is also what Xia Ming is thinking, he spends a lot of time commuting to and from work every day, how good it is to save this time.

Xia Ming decided to move out of the dormitory and rent a room close to the institute.

When he returned to the dormitory after work, Xia Ming looked for rental information on the same city website, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

The cheapest one-bedroom is still a bungalow, and the rent is 3,000, which is a month's salary.

Lower the standard, let's find a shared house, 10 square meters a room 1800, 15 square meters a room 2000. This is still "lite", "hardcover" plus 30%.

Sure enough, it is Juyandu, and it is not easy.

"Naruko, I found it!"

Li Diluo entered the door with an excited face: "That has already hooked up with a small open!" Xiaokai's Weibo also has photos of opening a room with her to show affection! During the day, I sent the picture to the circle of friends, and the came to me in a low voice, haha! It's all up to you this time! Let's go, have a drink and go! ”

Xia Ming waved his hand: "I'm busy looking for a house, it's too far away from the research institute, and it's inconvenient to commute to work." ”

"Moving out?" Li Diluo's face fell, and he was stunned for a while, and he said in a serious tone that he had never said before: "Live with me, I have a house in Zhongguan Village, not far from Yanda." ”

Got a house? So why are you still staying in the dorm?

Xia Ming was stunned, raised his head to meet Li Diluo's gaze, the guy turned his head, and said in a stiff voice: "I'm just, just about to move out, it's a set of two, it's empty, it's empty, oh, I mean there's still an empty ......."

Li Diluo, you are lonely.

Xia Ming sighed secretly, I really didn't expect that this guy was actually a person who was very afraid of loneliness.

Xia Ming received it, but he didn't agree, he couldn't afford the rent. Even if Li Diluo gives a friendship price, it will be at least one thousand five or six.

Li Diluo said that he didn't want money, but when he saw Xia Ming's glare, he changed his words and said that he could owe it first. Xia Ming still didn't agree, he didn't like to owe people money, and he didn't like to owe favors.

Li Diluo was anxious: "Oh, you are a man who wants to become a scientist!" Write me an IOU, every few years, don't let you pay it back, I won't agree to anyone else to buy it with money! ”

Xia Ming was a little moved, and very emotional, money is not omnipotent, but when there is no money, money is omnipotent!

Thinking that he would have to ask for money to learn more courses in the future, and he couldn't count on the dry salary of the institute, Xia Ming felt that he should seriously consider making money. Now that the learning progress is much ahead of the plan, it is possible to insert something in this direction.

Li Diluo urged him: "How is it?" ”

Xia Ming smiled: "Okay, I'll take your love, and I'll pay you back at the end of the year." ”

As he spoke, he clicked on the part-time community of the same city website and rummaged through a large number of posts recruiting part-time programmers.

Lin Cheng once said that a large number of programmers in the society are all from Yan Daxuanniao's three-month crash course, and for him, who can learn calculus in four days, it should take less than a month to learn a bit of a level of coder, right?
