American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 184 Research Groups
Another day came, and it was noon after Mary visited two lonely old people with kind personalities again.

As she was getting ready to get off work, she suddenly thought of the eccentric old man yesterday.

"I wonder if that guy is in a better mood today..." As far as Mary knew, the old man didn't have any friends.

She thought in her mind: Maybe no one would visit him except herself.

Perhaps it was because being able to help people gave Mary a sense of accomplishment.Maybe she was overflowing with sympathy. After thinking for a moment, she changed her steps and walked towards the old man's house.

"Hello~ are you at home..." Mary called several times outside the door, but no one answered.

Thinking of the elderly person's difficulty in mobility, it may also be due to deafness...

Mary skillfully opened the door and walked in. The room still looked like it had been cleaned yesterday.

Beside the window sill, the old man put his medal on his chest with both hands and closed his eyes as if basking in the sun.

"What a weird person. He doesn't even answer a question at home." Mary muttered something in a low voice and came to the window sill.

Under the sunlight, the old man with his eyes closed now looked very kind.

'This guy isn't that annoying when he doesn't talk...' Mary thought to herself, and then noticed that the clothes on the other person were very thin.

It is now the end of November, and although there is sun at noon, the temperature is not very high.

Afraid that the old man would get sick from the cold, Mary found a blanket from the room and wanted to cover him.

But when she was covering him with a blanket, she accidentally touched the old man's cold hand.

Mary, who had a bad premonition, carefully pushed the old man's arm and found that the other man's whole body was stiff.

"This..." Mary couldn't believe it. A person who was fine yesterday died today.

With her mind blank, she sniffed the other person's nose again.

After confirming that the other party was really dead, Mary immediately called the church for help.

Not long after, Pastor Jeff came to the old man's home with several church support staff.

"Are you okay?" Pastor Jeff came to the distraught Mary and asked with concern.

"No, it's okay..." Mary shook her head slightly, and her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke.

Having personally witnessed the passing of a life, she doesn't look like she's okay now.

"He is over 80 years old this year. It is not a bad thing to fall into the arms of the Lord..." Pastor Jeff comforted Mary for a few words, and then said: "You rest for a while, and I will deal with the next thing. .”

……

Half an hour later, seeing the old man pushed past her with his whole body covered in white cloth, Mary still found it hard to accept that a life had just passed away.

Especially since she had contact with him yesterday.

"He passed away peacefully..." Pastor Jeff came to Mary again and said, "You did a good job this time."

"Actually, I didn't do anything..." Mary, who had calmed down, felt a little guilty when she thought about her not-so-good attitude towards the old man yesterday.

"Don't be modest. I can see that you have done better than the previous investigators." Pastor Jeff recognized Mary's work from the state where the room had just been cleaned and the old man had just freshened up.

Seeing that the other party was still in a low mood, Pastor Jeff continued: "I will grant you a few days' leave. Go home and have a good rest. I will find someone else to do the investigator's work."

"No, I'm fine." Mary came back to her senses and said seriously: "I want to continue doing this job."

Thinking that she might be able to help more people, Mary declined Pastor Jeff's offer.

At this moment, she seemed to have found the meaning of life.Over the next few days, the rest of the Cooper family also noticed the change in Mary's mental state.

This change also brought the atmosphere in the Cooper family back to its previous harmonious and harmonious state.

……

It’s early December, another weekend.

At the University of Texas, the research project of Professor John and Dr. Linklater was finally approved.

Mike, Peggy and Little Sheldon were also invited to join the research project as assistants.

The assistant's job is very simple, that is, serving tea and water to the researchers, organizing documents and other tedious tasks.

This kind of work can actually be done by anyone. It is very easy and boring.

Of course, as special guests, the three Mikes also have some privileges.During their free time as assistants, they can check internal research materials at will.

In this way, two weekends passed, and the research project of Professor John and others came to the end of the first phase.

On this day, Professor John and Dr. Linklater called the three Mikes in front of them.

"You are all geniuses. Now Dr. Linklater and I want to see what you have learned during this period. If you can satisfy us, there will be surprises waiting for you." Professor John said with a smile.

Obviously, this is a test. If the performance of the three Mikes can satisfy Professor John and Dr. Linklater.Then they are very likely to join the second phase of the project as researchers.

As assistants, Mike and the others have the right to observe, but not the right to make suggestions.

If they can become researchers, they will have a certain say in the research project.

This is very attractive to anyone who likes special research.

"Okay, let's take this question as an example and you can answer it." Professor John said after writing a physical operation question on the small blackboard.

This time, the research project of Professor John, Dr. Linklater and others is to derive a new physical analytical formula.

This new formula can simplify many calculations under certain circumstances.

The three Mikes who followed the research topic all the way understood the purpose of this test, and then they all lowered their heads on the calculation paper in front of them and began to answer.

On Mike's side, his logical thinking ability has been greatly enhanced after his IQ exceeded [-].

After knowing the new formula, the difficult problem on the blackboard was not that difficult for him.

After thinking for a while, he started writing quickly.

Just when he had a plan in mind and was about to get the answer.Peggy on the side has stopped calculating and raised her little hand.

"Very good, Peggy, it only took you less than 5 minutes." Professor John smiled and took the other person's answer sheet and said, "Let me see your calculation steps..."

Yes, the test of the three Mikes this time is not the answer to the difficult problem on the blackboard, but their solution process.

After getting Peggy's test paper, Professor John looked at it carefully for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the paper to Dr. Linklater who was standing aside.

"Peggy, you are qualified." After seeing Peggy's problem-solving steps, Dr. Linklater said with a smile: "Welcome to officially join our team."

In fact, after this period of contact, Dr. Linklater has a very good impression of Peggy, a smart little girl.

"Thank you~" Peggy smiled, not showing too much excitement.
