Chapter 147: Research Materials
"Come in, if you continue to wander like this, everyone outside will call the police."
When Mia was still hesitating to go in at the door, Zheng Shu's voice came from the laboratory. Even though the voice was very peaceful, Mia's body trembled involuntarily with fear after hearing it.
But now that the other party already knows about his existence, there is no reason to back down now. Mia took a deep breath to ease the tension in her heart, and patted her face vigorously, putting on the perfect smile on her face according to the method she had learned at the Golden Iris Academy.
But even though she was fully prepared, Mia hesitated when she reached for the doorknob.
Zheng Shu in the laboratory had lost patience with her hesitation, and as his mind moved, the mechanical door of the laboratory automatically opened without any external force, revealing a pitch-black gap.
However, Zheng Shu's kindness, Mia took a step back in fright after seeing it, this seamless automatic opening door and the dark room inside, the memory of the horror movie she saw a few days ago was frantically flooding back into her mind.
It made her feel as if one would come out of behind the door at any moment...... A ......
Mia suddenly showed dead fish eyes, thinking back to the horror movies she had watched, and she suddenly felt that the ghosts in the movie were completely lethal compared to the real monsters inside.
Suddenly realizing the cruel reality, Mia couldn't even keep her initial smile, so she could only push open the door and walk in dejectedly.
Arriving at the lab, Mia habitually glanced around, and the words she had prepared suddenly froze, because she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Piles of books lay on the ground and on the tables, thick dictionaries-like printed materials were placed in all corners of the alchemy room, and even the windows of the alchemy laboratory were completely hidden by books—no wonder it looked so dark from the outside.
For a moment, Mia thought she was entering not a laboratory, but some warehouse where books were stacked.
"Sorry, there is a lot of information, and there is no spare space for the time being." Zheng Shu, who was lying on the table translating a certain information, looked up at Mia who entered the door.
He flipped the switch next to him, and the lights in the room were turned on, and the whole room was brightly illuminated. After all, for him, even if it was complete darkness, he could read the handwriting on the materials, so he forgot to turn on the light before he knew it.
When the lights came on, Mia realized that there was more information in the room than she had imagined at first.
"These are ......," Mia carefully avoided a quaint document on the floor.
The dictionary-looking document was probably the oldest antique in the room, and she bent down to pick it up and looked at it, the cover reading "Introduction to Latin" in English. In addition, there are dictionaries for various languages next to it.
"Many of the books used for research were brought from the library, and some papers and materials were downloaded and printed from the Internet because they were not available in the library." Zheng Shu closed the door casually and picked up a fallen print next to him.
"Fortunately, the computer in the school library has accounts for major literature databases, and I can download them for free with my current permission, otherwise these materials alone are estimated to cost a lot of money."
"You...... Is this going to be a Ph.D.? Mia's tone was a little complicated.
Compared with those hybrids and dragon-related books with mixed languages and obscure content, Mia, who has undergone elite education, can understand a large part of these materials printed by Zheng Shu. These materials cover everything from the basic theories of physics to the most cutting-edge technologies at the present stage, and if someone can really understand these materials completely, it should not be a problem to get a doctorate in any school.
Mia wouldn't be curious if there were such materials in the rooms of students at other prestigious universities, but it was very inappropriate to have them in a half-breed academy that relied on alchemy and occult rituals to slay dragons.
"No, it's just that I found some problems in the alchemy experiment, so I want to study something." Zheng Shu casually found a reason to fool around, and he was very happy to see Mia's arrival, "If I'm not mistaken, your native language should be English, right?" ”
"Ah...... Right. Zheng Shu's topic turned a little abruptly, and Mia was stunned for a moment before she reacted and nodded.
"That's great, I'm short of people right now." Zheng Shu pinched the bridge of his nose, looking a little headache.
"Dead languages like Latin and Hebrew are pretty simple for me, after all, I don't need to pay attention to grammar, I just need to memorize the thesaurus, and I think I'm quite confident in my memory." Zheng Shu took out a printed document from the mountain of books next to him and handed it to Mia.
She took a look at it and found that it was a document written in English, and she roughly looked at the research related to the properties of graphene.
Mia has also heard of the term graphene, probably because this material is the most versatile material discovered by humans at this stage, but because of the high cost, most of the research can only be superficial and cannot be tested in depth.
Glancing at the stack of materials next to her, Mia found that this batch was full of research related to various special materials.
"Can you read it?" Zheng Shu's voice came from the side.
Mia nodded involuntarily: "Although it is a little difficult, most of it can still be understood." ”
"Great, my previous English scores were not very good, and now I have to pay attention to some proper nouns when reading these materials, which is too troublesome to translate, but most of the research materials are written in English, so the recent research progress has been slowed down a lot, and I need to look at the materials while looking at them." Zheng Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past few days, he has been tortured by these English literature, unlike those dead languages, the word-making methods of some English nouns do not follow the Basic Law at all, and he can only use the Internet to query the meaning of each word little by little.
Looking up at Mia, who was still stunned, Zheng Shu thought for a while and asked, "Did you come to me this time because of the family's order?" ”
Mia nodded bitterly, she knew that she couldn't hide this situation from the other party.
"That's great." Zheng Shu shook her hand happily, "In this case, while you help me translate the English literature, you can also reply to the family behind you that you have a better relationship with me." I can speed up the research progress, and you can complete the family mission, a win-win situation. ”
Mia smiled and shook hands with Zheng Shu, but she couldn't help complaining in her heart: "The old lady is such a bright and smooth girl who lives in the same room with you, you actually think it's a win-win situation." ”
……
……
When Zheng Shu returned to the dormitory again, he found that Chu Zihang was using the computer and videos. In addition to Chu Zihang, there are also two people in the dormitory, Chu Tianjiao and Lu Mingfei.
When he opened the door and came in, except for Chu Zihang, who was still in the video with his mother, he didn't turn his head, and the other two turned their heads to look, but they quickly put their fingers in front of their lips and made a silent gesture.
Zheng Shu nodded silently, and quietly bypassed Chu Zihang and sat on the edge of the table next to him, only then did he realize that the computer in front of Chu Tianjiao was actually playing Su Xiaoyan's picture in real time.
Judging from the voice Zheng Shu heard, this picture should be the same as the picture on Chu Zihang's computer, but Su Xiaoyan could only see Chu Zihang but not Chu Tianjiao.
"This is ......" Zheng Shu didn't make a sound, but just lip-synched.
Glancing at Chu Tianjiao, who was already addicted to Su Xiaoyan's beauty and couldn't extricate himself, he could only show a smile like an idiot, Lu Mingfei showed a helpless expression, beckoned, pulled Zheng Shu aside and replied in a super whisper:
"It was already like this when I came, it seems that Chu Zihang and his father strongly asked Chu Zihang to have a video conversation with Aunt Su, but he actually went to our dormitory to borrow a computer, and asked Norma to help him open the permission, so that he can see the video screen."
Looking up at Chu Tianjiao's expression again, Lu Mingfei's face showed worry: "Lao Zheng, did you say that Chu Zihang's father had a problem with his brain because he had been locked up for too long, how do I feel that his smile is a little scary." ”
Zheng Shu also carefully looked at Chu Tianjiao's expression, and nodded approvingly: "Lao Lu, you are right, after all, he is a big man who has been locked up in the Nibelungen for so many years, and there is nothing but Deadpool and Deadpool around, and it is normal to be a little psychopathic." ”
The words have come to this point, no matter how much Chu Tianjiao is obsessed with beauty, he has to stand up and prove for himself:
"You two, I'm still here! What do the two little kids know, I call it affectionate. ”
"Son, is there anyone else next to you?" Su Xiaoyan's voice happened to come out of the computer.
Chu Tianjiao, who was still full of smugness just now, with a look of "what kind of love does a little kid know", immediately trembled nervously when he heard Su Xiaoyan's question, and with his S-level hybrid control, he even hit the table next to him and made a noise.
"Is there really a voice, who's there, your roommate?" The sound of the table being hit was not small, and Su Xiaoyan could hear it clearly over there.
Glancing at Chu Tianjiao, who folded his hands and frantically begged for help from the two of them, Zheng Shu sighed, adjusted his expression, and appeared in the field of vision of Su Xiaoyan's computer video with a smile.
"Aunt Su, it's me, Zheng Shu. Lao Chu and I are roommates, and I just came back, so I'm sorry to disturb the conversation between the two of you. ”
