Chapter 52 Biography: Shu Yehua - Part [-]

Our protagonist's name is Shu Yehua, and she is a very ordinary-looking woman.Later people will know that she was 29 and a half years old when she made the feat that shocked the entire Virgo supercluster of galaxies—the crossing event.

Shu Yehua was 173 centimeters tall and weighed 67 kilograms. According to the standards at that time, it could only be said that he had a "standard beyond standard" body.Many people may imagine what kind of appearance she will have.It is a pity that in all the existing photos or holographic and flat image materials about Shu Yehua, whether she is being interviewed or participating in various activities, she is wearing a standard speeding helmet and integrated goggles, and the lenses are almost invisible The dark color of her eyes.Under such circumstances, almost no one knows her actual full appearance, and there are no narratives and descriptions of this aspect in almost all her personal biographies and diaries.

Shu Yehua's healthy body is called "National Defense Physique" in a very old saying.As a professional racing driver (non-professional), Shu Yehua has always insisted on physical training, and strives to maintain his competitive state at a high level.Since childhood, for her dream of flying cars, she has always strived for excellence in her professional skills in machinery and vehicles, and has worked tirelessly.Her job is to repair vehicles and other means of transportation, and she is especially good at comprehensively adjusting various parts of the vehicle to achieve the best competitive state or comprehensive driving performance.

At that time, ground vehicles and atmospheric vehicles almost all used miniaturized fission or fusion engines, and the energy storage requirements of fusion engines of the same power were only one-fifth of that of fission engines. Ten to fifteen times of that, so there is still a trade-off in the engine operating conditions and environment.Shu Yehua's job is to install and debug different engines, suspension devices and braking devices for customers according to different uses, such as racing cars, daily personal use, passenger transport, express freight or heavy freight.

With the support of good physical condition, she has developed a superb professional skill: racing, and related field survival ability.Shu Yehua has been fond of toy cars and model cars since he was a child, especially like driving a toy car that can be driven around by himself.When I grew up, I met similar players in neighboring galaxies through social platforms, and often communicated and competed together.During this process, she has continuously accumulated driving, long-distance crossing and racing experience, and at the same time, with the blessing of her excellent machinery and transformation technology, she has gradually grown into the top professional speeder in the surrounding area.

If you want to say that Shu Yehua's childhood and youth are indeed relatively lackluster, but it is believed that the elders still have some influence on her later life.Shu Yehua's repair shop was inherited from her father. When she was 25 years old, her father and mother, like other middle-aged people in their 60s and 30s, started a space journey that lasted nearly [-] to [-] years.Before leaving Solpasia, his father was the owner of his family's repair shop. In addition to repairing vehicles, he also took on some jobs to repair mining robots. However, Shu Yehua's father's skills were average, and he could only maintain the family's daily expenses and save some money. That's all.

Shu Yehua's mother is an ancient literature teacher at Huang Pagoda University.As a lover of literature, she has always had the desire to travel around the universe, and she and Shu Yehua's father came together because of this common ideal.When the two got married, they agreed that Shu Yehua's father's repair shop would support the family's daily expenses, and they would deposit some variable amount of money into their "travel fund" every month, while almost all of her salary would be deposited into the fund. , in case the two embark on a cosmic journey when they are around 50 years old.

Almost all of Shu Yehua's education was completed in Sol Pasia. Her elementary and middle schools (that is, the stage from grade 12 to grade [-]) were completed in the public school in her hometown Tudou Town. During this period, she lived in her own repair shop in a separate hut next door.According to her later memories, although this cabin is not very big, it is almost the only warm place for her.

Probably because of the living experience in this log cabin, coupled with the overcrowding of the four-person dormitory at the back of the university, Shu Yehua narrated some of her visions for the "ideal residence" in one of her memoirs.Judging from the holographic image left by Shu Yehua, such an "ideal" was also partially realized during the time when she lived alone after completing the last "extreme crossing" on Solpasia and was stranded.

In Shu Yehua's early diary, some excerpts about her "ideal housing" are as follows:
"I hope I can have an independent building. This building does not need to be too high, just 4, 4 to 5 or 100 floors. If each floor is [-] meters to [-] meters [-], the total height of this building It should not exceed [-] meters."

"In order to have a good view, I hope that where this building is located, other buildings are not very high. In this case, if I live on the second-to-last floor of this building. Why is it the second-to-last floor? Because I I have an experience, if you live on the top floor, many planets have strong heat radiation from the stars, no matter how good the insulation is, it will make the top floor much hotter than other floors, and I am a person who hates artificial refrigeration..."

"My master bedroom and living room should have a more scientific orientation. Generally speaking, it should be perpendicular to the planet's revolution plane relative to the main star, so that my bedroom and living room can receive four or five hours of sunlight every day .Oh, by the way, the rotation period of this planet should not be less than 90.00% of that of Thorpasia, or [-] times higher than here, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable."

"Since the top floor is not used as a bedroom, the entire floor should be used as a gym. Although the heat of the stars will make the top floor hotter, which is very good for sweating exercises, and if this floor If you don’t install any windows, the natural wind at 100 meters ‘altitude’ will be very comfortable!”

"The fourth floor downstairs from the master bedroom can be a guest room on the entire floor. Those of us who engage in this kind of extreme sports will have many various friends in the entire galaxy cluster, and everyone loves to make friends. People, of course friends often come to visit, I naturally want to arrange for everyone comfortably. The area of ​​each floor of this kind of building should not be too large, it is estimated to be three to four hundred square meters? In this case, a living room The average number of rooms and bathrooms is [-] to [-] square meters, with five or six rooms on each floor, and a total of about [-] rooms on four floors, which is enough for my friends to live in.”

"When friends come from afar, it is natural to taste all kinds of delicious dishes and parties. Below the guest rooms on the fourth floor, there should be a whole floor of restaurants, entertainment rooms, and a fully equipped kitchen that can serve at least fifty people to eat at the same time .”

“Below the dining room and kitchen level, that’s where the chefs, the cleaning staff, the security staff live in the building. Although a lot of things are done by robots, there are always staff who manage these robots. People live in our building on a daily basis."

"Below the staff dormitory, in order to facilitate them to manage the robots, the next two floors should be the warehouses and maintenance workshops for these robots."

"I haven't decided what to do with the lower floors, so I'm going to leave them empty for the time being. But I've already decided on the first floor, which is to design these rooms as small shops for external business, and then rent them out to my food-loving business at a low price. Or, then I can eat what I like every day! I don’t like to eat food that the chef cooks for me every day, hahaha!”

"This building should have two basements. Of course, the basement is where my various baby speed cars, parts warehouses and a fully functional repair and modification factory are parked.",

"Oh, by the way, on the roof of the building, there should be a dome designed to magnify the aperture of the astronomical telescope, so that I can see what our universe looks like when the weather is good!"

This log cabin is also some distance away from the master bedroom and family living room in the other corner of her parents' repair shop. Perhaps since then Shu Yehua has started a certain degree of "semi-independent" living habits.She was admitted to Sol Pasia Institute of Technology (SIT), majoring in electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, and graduated six years later at the age of 24.When she was in college, there were still very few records about Shu Yehua, but after she became famous, many tabloid reporters went to the Academic Affairs Office to "obtain" her grade records for that year, and found that almost all of them were slightly better than the passing line.Such "past events" not only surprised these tabloid reporters, but the news was also hyped up on the Interstellar Network for several weeks.

Compared with the academic performance that can be regarded as a mess, if we look at the social status of Shu Yehua and her family, we can better reflect the commendability of Shu Yehua's immortal achievements.On a mining fringe planet like Solpasia, there are generally three types of people: the management, technology, and staff of foreign mining companies, contractors, and other service providers; Occupational, self-employed; and planetary government personnel and sector government personnel stationed on the planet.These types of personnel do not have huge gaps and gaps in income and social status, and they can even live in harmony.Because the total population on the planet has always been small (less than 300 million), and job opportunities have always been abundant under the rich mining resources, and the main manual work and dangerous operations have been handed over to robots, and people on the planet are willing to participate Very rich variety of activities.

However, the tradition of "poor culture and rich military" on the earth has also continued to a certain extent in these immigrant societies of Sol Pasia.Hundreds of years before Shu Yehua was born, holographic artificial intelligence teachers with better interaction had already appeared.After nearly 300 years of evolution and the hard work of people in this industry, AI teachers with extremely low cost have been popularized in almost all fields of knowledge.Like Shu Yehua from the first grade to the 12th grade, and even the six years of university, most of these "basic" courses are completed by this kind of artificial intelligence that can interact and interact with students.Full-time professors like Shu Yehua's mother do more research work and impart advanced knowledge.

In this context, the cost for people to acquire knowledge through reading has been further reduced compared to 500 years ago.At the same time, activities like "Speed ​​Car", "Star Racing", "Ocean Exploration" and "Extreme Planetary Environment Experience", which require a lot of professional equipment to participate, have become "rare goods to live in" because more and more people participate , and the cost is getting higher and higher.

Shu Yehua's introduction to flying cars was when he joined SIT's flying car club when he was in college. This club is funded by a mining company and is the best non-professional flying car club on the planet.Thanks to the relatively average social structure of Solpacia Star, as well as the huge financial surplus and considerable commercial profits of the planet itself, girls of a very ordinary social class like Shu Yehua can also participate in this outrageously expensive competition project.You know, there are only five or six such clubs, even on the central metropolitan planet with a population a hundred times that of Solpasia.

In this way, with her relentless pursuit of this extreme sports event as a life ideal, and the circumstances that her own environment gave her ample opportunities, Shu Yehua embarked on the road of professional ground-flying.
