You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 334 Arrival in Hong Kong

Computer science is a relatively new and rapidly developing field in China, but its development is still quite limited.

Therefore, students in Lu Mingdong's major don't learn much at school; the content is very limited. Instead, they learn a lot of basic subjects like mathematics, materials science, and physics.

This resulted in their exam papers being very easy; as long as they attended classes attentively, they could easily get high scores, as the basic answers were all in the textbook.

Every time Lu Mingdong takes an exam, he rolls his eyes at the papers where he can tell the answers at a glance, feeling that such questions are a waste of his time.

then……

This is how the exam paper in Lu Yuanqing's hands ended up being completely altered.

Lu Mingdong revised every single question.

Lu Mingdong filled the blank space below the title with his own writing.

Then, his examiner wrote down more information next to him.

"Didn't your teacher say anything to you?" Lu Yuanqing was somewhat impressed.

At least when he was a student in his past life, he was well-behaved and never dared to challenge the authority of his teachers.

“No! Professor Yang asked me to study for my master’s degree with him and even took me to his lab,” Lu Mingdong said calmly.

His tone was very even, as casual and ordinary as talking about eating.

Lu Yuanqing suddenly stood up, "You went into the teacher's lab?"

“Yes!” Lu Mingdong nodded.

Entering the lab didn't seem particularly impressive to him; on the contrary, Lu Yuanqing's surprised and delighted expression made him slightly curl his lips.

Lu Yuanqing was overjoyed!

He knew that Lu Mingdong was so smart that it would be a waste of his intelligence if he didn't become a scientist or something.

Moreover, he hasn't even graduated yet, but he's already gained the appreciation of his teachers.

Indeed, gold will shine sooner or later.

Seeing how happy he was, Lu Mingdong's eyes flickered, and he said, "It's all thanks to you, Uncle, that I was able to get into the laboratory."

"Huh?" Lu Yuanqing's smile faltered. "My contribution? What contribution have I made?"

Tell him so he can feel smug.

Lu Mingdong said, "You helped me find a lot of computer-related books, and you also told me a lot about the future development of computers!"

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

Lu Mingdong, seemingly oblivious to his stiff expression, continued, "Third Uncle, take a close look at my test paper. The feasibility of widespread microcomputer manufacturing, computer applications and methods, the importance of computer software operating systems, and so on—these are all questions I answered after hearing a lot of speculation from you!"

Lu Yuanqing: "..." You brat, don't think he didn't hear the emphasis on the word 'guess'.

"Uh, oh, that! I was just flipping through the computer books your uncle sent me, I just said it casually."

"Hmm!" Lu Mingdong nodded lightly. Before Lu Yuanqing could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly said, "Third Uncle is really amazing. He can understand so much from a book that is entirely in English! Cheng Xia thinks English is too difficult and refuses to learn it."

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

The scene looks familiar!

It seems like a long, long time ago, Lu Mingdong had also chatted with him like this.

Lu Yuanqing was speechless and helpless, then sighed and said, "So what do you think? I think your answers to these questions are very good! Look, your teacher even wrote here, 'It enlightened him!'"

There are some things that Lu Yuanqing and Lu Mingdong are well aware of.

Therefore, Lu Mingdong's probing was always brief and to the point.

"China is still too backward in terms of computers. Uncle, I've heard you complain about the old-fashioned mobile phones and you even mentioned 'cell phones' by chance. When you go to Hong Kong this time, could you help me get one? I want to study it."

This was the very beginning of his preparations for in-depth research.

Lu Yuanqing curled his lips, pleased with his tact, and said with a smile, "Of course, although it's a bit difficult, since you've asked, I'll definitely complete the task."

Lu Mingdong smiled slightly.

Holding the exam paper, Lu Yuanqing once again marveled at its preciousness.

With this exam paper, Lu Mingdong was valued by his teacher, and his future development was assured.

Lu Mingdong's intelligence will surely accelerate technological development.

Lu Yuanqing had this suspicion.

With Si Jin's help, Lu Mingdong gained a clear understanding of technological developments both domestically and internationally.

In addition, Lu Yuanqing would occasionally come up with his so-called 'guesses,' which were all reasons why Lu Mingdong was unwilling to continue studying in the same way as his classmates.

Given Lu Mingdong's abilities, he's completely wasting his time.

Reading the book broadened Lu Mingdong's horizons.

Lu Yuanqing's idea is the reason why he needs to put it into practice.

"By the way, Third Uncle, could you help me buy these materials?"

Since Lu Yuanqing had agreed to help, he wouldn't hold back at all.

Unfortunately, given the current situation in China, it's difficult to manufacture the CPU, the brain of a computer.

Even if it were made, it would fall far short of his expectations.

Lu Mingdong had no choice but to find a way to get the materials himself.

So, while telling Lu Yuanqing about the components he needed to make the CPU, Lu Mingdong wrote these materials down in his notebook and explained to him why he needed them.

Lu Yuanqing was stunned.

Good heavens, he wasn't a computer science major in his past life; he actually studied literature.

Therefore, the things Lu Mingdong was talking about, involving physics, materials science, mechanics, chemistry, and so on, really gave him a headache.

"Wait, aren't you a computer science major? How do you know all this?"

Judging from Lu Mingdong's effortless use of numerous sources, it's clear that he doesn't just know these things, but has a deep understanding and comprehension of them.

To put it simply, Lu Yuanqing heard a lot of talk, but he didn't understand a word of it.

He thought that if Lu Mingdong told these things to his teachers, they would definitely feel like they had found a treasure.

Unfortunately, the person he shared it with was Lu Yuanqing.

Lu Mingdong: "..."

So, Lu Yuanqing doesn't understand?

He thought he understood.

"I was reading!"

He's really smart; he can remember and understand everything he sees. He doesn't quite understand what others mean by "he learned, but he only learned."

Isn't this simple? You'll understand once you see it.

So, after reading all the books on computers, he started reading other books and naturally learned a bit about them.

Lu Yuanqing: "..."

So, this is the difference between academic geniuses?
