I was forced to be the captain of the ghost ship by mistake

Chapter 116 The Controversy Between Universities
Even the well-informed Tu Fu had to admit that he was attracted by the unique atmosphere of the University of Michigan campus after a brief overview of the campus environment.

If I remember correctly, Miskar Stark's national unified score line this year is 640 points, which is almost the same as the score line of the next-door Columbia University.

If he hadn't got the quota for special candidates, Tu Fu would have missed by more than [-] points.

With the same score and region, candidates are willing to choose Villedo, a remote town, but they may not be willing to come if they have nothing special about them.

In Tu Fu's eyes, compared with the University of Göttinghagen, where descendants of nobles and businessmen gather together, the students of Michigan University are more pure.

They enjoy the happiness brought by knowledge more, they like to peep the truth from millions of books and classics, and they like this free and open style of study that blows every corner of the school.

Alchemy is constantly trying experiments that may seem crazy and dangerous, but they are actually exploring the truth again and again.

Students of paleontological research danced with excitement because of an ancient biological specimen that they applied for.

There is also a group of boys from the School of Mechanics and Technology, who held a ceremonial mechanical technology boxing match because they spliced ​​and assembled the "steam man" that could fight.

Not only that, even two students who don't know each other at the University of Michigan will quarrel with each other when discussing a certain topic.But after the argument, regardless of the status of the other party, they shook hands and made peace.

Such an academic atmosphere and students can't help but make Tu Fu awe-inspiring.

Except, of course, for the devil student in the medical department.

To hell for those guys trying to breed "coldproof mosquitoes".

"Winnie, I have to say I'm starting to like this place a little bit."

Tu Fu confessed his true thoughts to the little lady next to him after watching the entire game held by the Academy of Technical Sciences,
"Before I came here, I always heard that this is just a rural school. Except for the so-called 'inheritance', there is really nothing worthy of comparison with the University of Göttinghagen."

"I can guess Mr. Capet that you will say this, because real geniuses will only come to Villedo and will only choose Miska."

Winnie Darrow was not surprised by this sentence. This talkative girl talked about the comparison between the two schools, "Over the past hundred years, students from Michigan University have contributed a lot to the world, improving steam engines, making The blueprint of the iron-clad ship, which promoted the great voyage, and then discovered the southern continent... There are countless cases like this, because only the University of Michigan has such an enviable academic environment,
On the other hand, the University of Göttinghagen is only the favorite of the power-seekers. The professors of the seven-school alliance are forcibly poached and generous bonuses are given to the top candidates in each state every year to increase the attractiveness of the school. Many students there are obsessed with parties and socializing. Excessive, such a person is destined to not have any great achievements.

Although it's not a good way to say it, I don't think Columbia is really qualified to compare with the University of Michigan. "

As expected of a top student majoring in archeology, Winnie began to talk about the contribution of the University of Michigan to Baia and even to human society in history. The words of celebrities from the two schools were mixed with contempt for Columbia University.

However, most of what she said was true. Göttinghagen contacted Tu Fu many times after the admissions promotion meeting, and promised him a good salary to let him choose to study at Columbia University.

This kind of struggle is by no means limited to the students, but also a high-level game between the professors and the management, which involves the battle of Bayer's orthodox academics.

In the early days, Columbia spent money from within the seven-school alliance in order to rise, especially poaching many scholars and professors from Miska, and this was the first achievement.

Over the years, the top university standing in the urban area has been steadily rising with the financial support of the Kingdom, and today it has a faint tendency to surpass the University of Michigan.

It is no longer a tradition to belittle the misnamed university next door, and it has almost become a kind of political correctness of Columbia University and Michigan University.

Therefore, if the students of Columbia University heard similar words, they would not hesitate to fight back that a certain township Puxin school dared to touch Columbia University.

Fortunately, Sophie was not here, otherwise she would definitely argue with Winnie according to her strong heart.

"I learned it. Next time I see Sophie, I will speak according to this set of rhetoric."

Every day, a Tu Fu who learned a little trick in quarreling began to look forward to Miss Winster's face turning pale with anger when she heard these remarks.

From the admissions office building to the student apartment building, fortunately, Winnie, who has a chatty nature, kept talking with Tu Fu about the school's struggle with Columbia University, so the journey would not be so boring.

Tu Fu was finally sent to the apartment building No. 2, which is second only to the faculty apartment. According to Winnie, all the students in the University of Michigan live in single apartments, which are arranged for better study and life.

But when Tu Fu actually saw his own residence, he saw a townhouse with an area of ​​[-] square meters, with all the alms in it. The environment of Winster's house in the suite is worse.

"It turns out that the allocation is a single-family apartment building. The University of Michigan has always only allocated these scarce housing resources to senior students who have made outstanding contributions to the school. It has never been heard that the housing resources here can be allocated to freshmen."

After handing over the key marked No. 17, Winnie immediately showed envy in her eyes. The single-family townhouse is second only to the accommodation environment for the descendants of the royal family and great aristocrats who sponsor a large sum of money every year.

Not to mention Winnie, even Tu Fu was shocked when he saw his residence.

In fact, this was not included in Tu Fu's initial conditions, because he didn't know the distribution rules of the University of Michigan's apartments at all, let alone how much the high-level officials in the school valued him.

"I feel a little guilty about this arrangement."

Tu Fu, who did not make any contribution to the University of Michigan, was embarrassed and began to think about what he should do to repay the school in the future.

He quickly thought about changing the experimental conditions of the "double slit experiment" several times. The time should not be too long or too short. It would be appropriate to change the experimental objects every other year, so that the answer to the composition of light fluctuates and fluctuates. Particles repeatedly jump horizontally, repeatedly refreshing the upper limit of people's cognition.

If the bigwigs in the academic world knew about Tu Fu’s idea of ​​squeezing toothpaste, they would probably be so angry that they vomited blood.

That is the truth that no amount of money can buy!
"Mr. Cape, don't feel any guilt or discomfort. Since this is a decision made by the University of Michigan, no one can question it." Winnie said casually, and helped move things in during the conversation.

The apartment No. 17 is clearly showing signs of being renovated again. A layer of white slippery wall paint has been applied to the surface of the walls. The furniture in the room is complete. There is a main living room plus two bedrooms and a lounge. There are study room, utility room and daylight room.

It is calculated according to the general apartment fee price every year.

No, my own tuition and accommodation fees were even halved, rounding it up to almost nothing.

"Scientific research and study really can make people happier." The University of Michigan attaches more importance to potential scholars than Tu Fu imagined, which may also be related to Columbia University's pressing pressure every year.

After thanking Ms. Winnie Darrow, Tu Fu moved all the luggage in the house. Seeing that the apartment was almost completely newly renovated, and there was even a separate bathroom with a bathtub, his long-worried heart was finally relieved. , let out a long sigh of relief.

"Whoo~"

Although the accommodation conditions are different from the four-person dormitory atmosphere experienced before, most college students who have experienced dormitory life find it difficult to like the so-called collective life.

Open-blind roommate selection and the constant need to accommodate each other's flaws for years to come can be overwhelming just to think about.

After packing all the luggage, Tu Fu took advantage of the gap to have a casual lunch before going to school to hold a new student ceremony in the great hall of the Administrative Office today.

That's right, I heard Miss Winster talk about this before I came here. Göttinghagen will invite some very powerful figures to cheer on the field at the opening ceremony.

The two schools set the start date on the same day, and held the freshman ceremony at the same time, which obviously means comparing people, political energy, and student quality.

At first, Tu Fu thought it was just a very ordinary freshman ceremony. After all the freshmen were in place, the big shots on the podium simply said some correct but useless words, and the freshman ceremony ended with laughter.

But when he came to the great hall in the afternoon, the seats were already in chaos, and everyone was busy preparing for the highest standard of etiquette.

Fortunately, Tu Fu learned a big news from his acquaintance Winnie.

The freshman ceremony held by Miskar Stark University this afternoon invited a gentleman named Frick William Hohenzollern, who had an extremely distinguished status.

Many people are not familiar with this string of names, but he has another well-known title.

William II.
