Cruel Reality

In the computer classroom.

On the lecture platform, a middle-aged teacher with thin hair lectured endlessly.

"If there is a T'(N), then when N → ∞ there is: (T(N)-T'(N))/T(N) → 0.

"Then let's say that T'(N) is the asymptotic state of T'(N) when N → ∞, or T'(N) is distinguished from T'(N) by the asymptotic complexity of the algorithm A when N → ∞, because mathematically, T'(N) is the asymptotic expression of T'(N) when N → ∞.

"…"

In the classroom, the students listened attentively and wrote down the key points from time to time.

The final examination was almost here. The questions the teacher was talking about at this moment might appear in the final examination paper.

In the last row of the classroom, in a hidden corner, a figure lying motionless on the desk was incompatible with the learning atmosphere of the classroom.

The 'sleeping' Li Yi's consciousness appeared in the library.

Li Yi sat cross-legged under a huge bookshelf filled with white books. On the ground in front of him was a white book more than ten centimeters thick.

At this moment, Li Yi was no longer satisfied with learning professional knowledge like computers, programming, and AI technology. Instead, he was interested in basic subjects like atoms, particles, physics, and superconducting materials that explored the mysteries of the universe.

In the programming books, Li Yi saw that the "intelligent brain" used by the Borse civilization used a superconducting computer that was countless times superior to human semiconductor computers.

This magical computer attracted Li Yi's attention.

Human computers were established from the field of semiconductor materials.

Semiconductor materials, as the name suggested, had conductive properties at room temperature. They were materials between conductors and insulators. The common semiconductor materials were silicon, arsenic, arsenic, and so on. Silicon was the most influential among the various semiconductor materials applications.

Superconducting materials were materials with near-zero electricity resistance and rejected magnetic lines under certain low temperatures.

The superconducting computer described in the book was hundreds of millions of times stronger than a semi-conducting computer in terms of computing power and energy consumption.

If he could develop such a superconducting computer in his lifetime, it would bring huge progress to human technology. In the near future, it was also very likely for them to lead human civilization into the interstellar era and conquer the sea of stars.

Because of this, Li Yi was interested in the knowledge of superconducting materials, particle physics, and these basic subjects.

Recently, he had been reading such books.

Li Yi flipped through the book page by page, his mind completely immersed in the book.

Materials physics, particle physics, quantum physics… All kinds of advanced physics knowledge kept reshaping Li Yi's knowledge structure.

Some new knowledge in the book could change human civilization drastically.

In particular, in the field of particle materials, Li Yi discovered some special material formulas hidden inside. If he could apply them in reality, it would basically lead to a technological revolution in human civilization.

…

After an unknown period of time, a blurry shadow suddenly appeared in Li Yi's consciousness.

Not long after, Zhang Haitao's voice sounded in his ear, waking Li Yi up from the "library".

Li Yi opened his eyes and looked up in realization.

There were a total of four classes in the morning. Coupled with the time between classes, he had slept for 4 hours and stayed in the library for almost 40 hours.

After 40 hours of immersing himself in knowledge and returning to reality, Li Yi could not help but feel unreal.

"What's wrong! Why are you looking at me like that? Are you dreaming?" Zhang Haitao asked with a smile.

Lin Hang leaned over and asked with a smile, "Old Li, you slept with half of them this semester. The end-of-semester exam is coming up. Are you sure you can handle it?"

"I don't know. We'll see!" Li Yi had already woken up and said indifferently.

"Old Li, are you free on Saturday? We organized an activity this week!" Liu Wenfeng walked over and said to Li Yi.

"Let's go! We'll talk as we walk." Zhang Haitao laughed and greeted the three of them.

Li Yi nodded happily and followed the three of them out of the classroom.

"This Saturday night, Haitao organized an activity to socialize with the girls in the English Department. How is it? Awesome, right?!" Liu Wenfeng wanted to introduce Li Yi.

"Not bad! Haitao, I didn't expect you to have such resources! Impressive!" Li Yi was shocked and gave Zhang Haitao a thumbs up.

Among the four people in the dormitory, Zhang Haitao was broad and fat. His appearance was slightly inferior, but he had an extremely good character, was generous and talkative, had the most connections, and was very popular with women.

He was unlike the three of them, who were all classic science and engineering men. They were more out of touch with their feelings and were not good at expressing themselves. Although their appearances were alright, they were tall and good-looking. However, they were not popular with women.

"That's right! It's all thanks to Brother Zhang Tao that we can get out of being single!" Liu Wenfeng looked at Zhang Haitao and flattered him.

"No, no, I can't bear this burden. I'm still single!" Zhang Haitao waved his hand repeatedly.

"Haitao, lose a little weight. With your eloquence, it's not a problem for you to find a school beauty girlfriend!" Lin Hang commented seriously.

Zhang Haitao could not help but roll his eyes. "What does finding a girlfriend have to do with my weight? I need a girlfriend who appreciates my soul, not a woman who cares about my appearance."

"There's nothing wrong with what you said. However, men and women are all visual animals. If what's on the outside is not good, who would be willing to understand the interesting soul within?" Lin Hang brutally exposed the problem of reality.

"No, no, the soul and appearance are only secondary. Now, what's important is career and wealth. With these two things, no matter how poor the appearance, there will still be people who admire you." Liu Wenfeng interrupted and went straight to the point.

"Old Liu, that's too extreme. There are also girls who don't care about material things." Li Yi smiled and interrupted.

"I admit that there are, but it's only a small number. When your wealth reaches a certain level, you will have an absolute advantage," Liu Wenfeng said firmly.

"Damn, why are we discussing this for no reason?! Can we talk about something happy?" Zhang Haitao's face darkened as he stopped the three of them from discussing more and more intensely.

"I'm just guiding you guys to develop a sense of crisis!" Liu Wenfeng explained with a smile. Then, his voice sank as he said with a serious expression, "We'll be in our fourth year next year. In the next semester, we'll have to go out for an internship after a few more months of classes. We don't have much time left in school. The few of us have to hurry up and get a girlfriend Otherwise, when we leave society, beautiful women will also become a rare resource. In terms of wealth, we definitely won't be able to compete with those old fellows who have been in society for a long time."

Hearing this, Zhang Haitao and Lin Hang's expressions could not help but turn solemn.

Li Yi smiled happily. He was not worried about this. The operation of Muzi Technology was already on track. When he left the school, he would definitely be desired and he would not have to worry about "snatching food" from others.
