Chapter 140 The Bottleneck of Materials Science
“Isn’t this decoration very good? We already have walls, floors, ceramic tiles, ceilings, etc. Why spend so much money on decoration?”
"Yes, I think there is no need to move anymore. Just buy some more furniture and appliances."
Ning Chen prefers not to decorate anymore. Spending money is not a problem, but even if he looks for decoration The company does everything, so family members still have to come over often to check in.
“Even now there is still some decoration smell in the house, but it still needs to be left for a while before you can move in.”
Wang Yanping opened all the windows in the house to let the air in the room circulate.
The three of them walked around the house and were quite satisfied with the whole house. The only drawback was that the house was too big and cleaning would be troublesome.
"Dad, Mom, there is no rush to move into this house. You come often to ventilate the house. I will also buy you some formaldehyde removal products online when I go back. In the past two days, we have put furniture, soft furnishings, etc. Everything has been ordered, and then I will go back.”
Ning Chen thought that he would try to solve all these problems during this trip. If Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping were asked to choose the furniture by themselves, they would definitely not be willing to buy expensive furniture. of.
When it comes to buying furniture, Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping are not well prepared, because they just want to go to the property management company today to get the keys and then look at the house.
But they also knew that Ning Chen was usually very tight on time and it would not be easy to come back, so they agreed to Ning Chen's proposal.
Ning Chen took Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping to the furniture store and found a whole-house customization store. They formulated a whole-house customization plan based on the floor plan and made an appointment to come and measure the dimensions.
Ning Chen then went to other stores to pick out various furniture such as beds, sofas, coffee tables, TV cabinets, etc. Ning Chen chose the best brand and quality for each piece of furniture, which made Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping felt a little hurt when she saw it.
“Chenchen, you don’t need to buy such expensive furniture, just ordinary ones.”
“Yes, if you buy it like this, it will cost you as much as the cost of another house. Coming out soon”
Because this house is large, the investment in various furniture will indeed be more.
Of course, this money can be easily obtained by Ning Chen now.
"Okay, I'm the one paying for it anyway, so just let me be the master. Your son can make a lot of money now, so don't worry."
See what Ning Chen said. , Ning Qiang and Wang Yanping couldn't say anything more, so they had to let Ning Chen do it.
In two days, Saturday and Sunday, Ning Chen ordered all the furniture and soft furnishings needed for the house, and a whole-house customization merchant also came to measure the dimensions of the furniture that needed to be customized.
"Don't rush to buy home appliances. After all the furniture is moved in, it will have to be kept for at least a few months before you can live in it. Just wait until then to buy home appliances."
Home appliances are not like furniture. , you need to ventilate and dry it after buying it. If you buy it too early, you can only put it aside, and it may get dirty due to some subsequent decoration.
In addition, home appliances are being updated very quickly, so Ning Chen still feels that it is better to buy after he is ready to move in.
After handling these matters, Ning Chen can finally return to Shengzhou with peace of mind.
On this trip, Ning Chen really bought a lot of things and experienced the joy of consumption.
Fortunately, Ning Chen made some money for himself through his various research results. Otherwise, Ning Chen would never dare to spend like this.
After returning to Shengzhou, Ning Chen continued his research on iron-based superconductivity.
However, I don’t know whether it was because this research had reached a bottleneck or because Ning Chen’s own academic level was insufficient. Ning Chen’s subsequent research work did not progress smoothly.
This kind of unsatisfactory situation is not just the constant failure of experiments, but also the fact that Ning Chen can't find the future research direction and has fallen into a relatively confused state.
At the same time, Ning Chen’s accumulation of experience in materials science has also slowed down.
"It seems that it is not that easy to upgrade the subject level of materials science to Lv3."
Ning Chen had imagined before that he could make it through research on iron-based superconductivity. Directly upgrade the subject level of materials science to level three.
But now, Ning Chen’s material science subject experience bar is not even halfway through, and it has already stopped increasing.
After thinking about it, Ning Chen decided to adjust his current situation first and think of a good solution.
“It’s better to take the driver’s license test now, and then study about going to other schools for exchange.”
Ning Chen thought that he had to buy a car anyway, and he would have to take the driver's license test sooner or later. As for exchanges with other schools, Ning Chen first ruled out various foreign universities.
Ning Chen naturally knows that in terms of academic environment and academic strength, universities such as MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, and Stanford are definitely better.
However, there are more uncertain factors in studying abroad, and Ning Chen may not be able to adapt to the foreign environment, so Ning Chen still prefers to stay at home.
Shui Mu and Yan University are both good choices. In contrast, because Ning Chen now wants to improve his academic level in various science subjects, going to Yan University is still a higher priority.
In addition, Yan University also has Ning Chen's good friends Song Xiyun and Lin You. From now on, she and Song Xiyun will go out every night without having to wear headphones to make calls.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen sent a message to Liu Xu, saying that he had something to ask Liu Xu for help.
After all, Ning Chen is now nominally a student under Liu Xu, and Liu Xu is also the dean of the School of Materials Science at Shengzhou University. It will definitely be easier to find Liu Xu to help him.
Liu Xu quickly replied to Ning Chen and asked Ning Chen to come directly to his office.
Arrived at the dean's office, Ning Chen knocked on the door and walked in after getting Liu Xu's response.
"Hello, Dean Liu."
"Ning Chen, tell me, if you have anything, I will help you if I can."
"Dean Liu, I want to take the exam It’s best to get a driver’s license as soon as possible. I wonder if you know anyone?”
Hearing Ning Chen’s request, Liu Xu couldn’t help but smile:
“ I thought it was something big, but it turns out it’s just a matter of getting a driver’s license. That’s no problem. The owner of a driving school is my friend. I’ll just tell you when I go back and arrange for you to practice driving alone.”
Ning Chenxin said that as expected, Liu Xu had a wider network of people. At this level, he would know people from all walks of life.
"Ning Chen, why did you suddenly think of taking the driver's license test?"
"It will be more convenient to drive back to your hometown in the future, otherwise you have to take the train."
" Well, it is indeed more convenient to drive if your home is close. Anyway, you have some money now, so you can really consider buying a car."
"Well... Dean Liu, I have another thing to ask you. You help.”
Hearing Ning Chen's words, Liu Xu nodded and said:
"Well, just say it."
Liu Xu also felt just now that if it was just a matter of taking the driver's license test, Ning Chen shouldn't be in such a hurry to come find him. Sure enough, there are more important things behind him.
"Dean Liu, I hope to go to Yanda for exchange and study for a period of time, mainly to learn various science subjects. If I have the opportunity, I also want to enter the laboratory for internship. I wonder if this is not convenient?"
Because this matter was a promise made by the school when Ning Chen discussed direct education with the school, Liu Xu definitely couldn't refuse.
"Ning Chen, do you want to study all science subjects? Or which subject should you focus on?"
"Focus on physics and chemistry. I feel that my materials science has reached a bottleneck recently. The main reason is, The foundation of physics and chemistry is not good enough. Yanda is better at science, so I still want to go to Yanda for exchange and study.”
After hearing Ning Chen’s reasons, Liu Xu also felt that this was indeed the case. In a good way.
"Well, I also support you to go to Yanda for exchange and study. I will report this matter to the school, and of course I will have to study it with Yanda. If there is any progress, I will give you news. "
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Dean Liu."
Liu Xu quickly helped Ning Chen arrange the driving license test.
As long as Ning Chen can pass the first, second and third subjects, a separate coach can be arranged for Ning Chen, so that Ning Chen can meet the standards for taking the exam in the shortest time.
“I didn’t expect that I would have to take the subject one test again in my life.”
Ning Chen is still very confident in his knowledge of traffic regulations, but because the traffic regulations in this period are different from those of more than ten years. There were some differences in the end, and the test questions in the subject were quite tricky, so Ning Chen still didn't dare to take the test directly.
Ning Chen spent half an hour going through more than a thousand questions in the subject one question bank, and was already full of confidence in the subject one exam.
