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

Chapter 292 Scientific Research Project (continued)

After dinner, Little Sheldon called Professor John.

Then, he got good news: Professor John's project on "Propulsor Recycling" has been implemented, and a research team can be formed next Monday.

At the same time, Professor John also sincerely expressed the hope that Little Sheldon, Mike and Peggy could join his scientific research project.

Immediately, little Sheldon, who was excited that night, rushed into Grandma Connie's house and shared the good news with Mike and Peggy.

"Aren't you excited? This is the most cutting-edge scientific research project today, and it is expected to win the Nobel Prize." Little Sheldon, who thought the two would be as excited as himself when they heard the news, looked at Mike's dull reactions. , asked in surprise.

"Of course I'm excited, it will be a good experience." Mike answered perfunctorily.

In fact, he is not optimistic about Professor John's scientific research project, which is too hasty to compete for this year's Nobel Prize.

And although the thruster recycling project is very practical, it lacks a little bit of innovation.

Take a look at what other Nobel Prize winners in physics are working on: cosmic rays, quantum entanglement, research on elemental radioactivity...

These research projects are very groundbreaking and have a complete set of independent concepts.

It is difficult to do these two things, and it usually requires having a professional team of your own that has been working in a certain field for several years or even decades.

"Okay!" Little Sheldon didn't dwell on the attitudes of Mike and the two, but excitedly discussed the three of them going to the University of Texas on Monday.

In the end, it was decided by Mike and Little Sheldon. Starting from next Monday, the three of them would ask for the afternoon leave from the school, and then Mike would drive the three of them to the University of Texas.

As for Peggy on the side, she seemed not interested in these questions.

The time came to Monday, because the three of them, Mike, were all rare super academics, and their knowledge had long exceeded the level of high school students.

Therefore, the three people's leave application process was very smooth.

After lunch time, Mike drove the two little guys to the University of Texas.

At this time, in the University of Texas laboratory, Professor John and Dr. Linklater were grouping project researchers.

In order to advance the research process, the "Propeller Recycling" project will be divided into many research groups, each research group is only responsible for part of the work.

Finally, Professor John and Dr. Linklater will summarize and control the overall trend of the research project.

Professor John was very happy to see the arrival of the three Mikes. With a wave of his hand, he divided the three into a separate group.

Because the scientific research project has just been launched, there is no specific division of labor yet.

So, after the team members were assigned, Professor John shouted: "Mike, Sheldon and Peggy, come here..."

Mike and Sheldon Jr. published the "Rocket Lift" paper, so they were eligible for more core work.

At this time, Professor John, who was assigning tasks to various groups, called the two people over just to listen to their opinions.

As for Peggy, it’s just an accessory.

Maybe the little girl never thought that she, with her super high IQ, would one day become a foil.

"Mike, can you help me check the tasks I assigned to each group? Are there any problems?" Professor John asked, standing in front of a huge writing board.

There were many lines and marks drawn on the writing board, dividing the researchers into eight groups, and each group was assigned different tasks according to their proportion.

"That's okay for the time being. We can make adjustments in the future based on the progress of each group's research." Mike looked at the writing board and replied.

It is still early in the project and no one knows what will happen next. The smart thing to do is to leave a little leeway and make adjustments when necessary.

"I think so too." Professor John smiled.

The old professor seemed to be ready for a big fight, and he looked full of fighting spirit.

"Excuse me, I think there's something wrong..." Little Sheldon raised his hand: "I think our group can handle more tasks."

Because of the different proportions, among the eight groups divided on the writing board, the members of five groups only need to perform repeated numerical calculations, and they are in the role of understudy.

The remaining three groups have specific research directions and are members of the core group.

The three of Little Sheldon have been assigned to the core group and already account for a large proportion of the project. But little Sheldon was still dissatisfied with the results. He was also very motivated and wanted to be responsible for more work.

"Sheldon, this is a team project, everyone must do what they can..." Dr. Linklater, who was also responsible for the general planning, said in a competitive tone.

Obviously this Dr. Linklater is somewhat dissatisfied with Little Sheldon for personal reasons.

But having said that, young Sheldon’s age is indeed hard to trust.

"What do you think?" Professor John looked at Mike Page and the two.

Dr. Linklater is right. This scientific research is a team project after all, and personal preferences cannot ruin everyone's efforts.

Therefore, it is necessary to determine the capabilities of each group.

"I still retain my previous opinions. If there are any problems, I can make adjustments in future work." Mike said conservatively.

"My opinion is the same as Mike's." Peggy immediately echoed.

Two to one, the result is already obvious.

"Very good, let's make that decision first." Professor John smiled and handed a pile of information to Mike. These are all materials that Mike's team will need later.

In fact, Professor John values ​​Mike, the person who proposed the multi-stage propulsion theory, more than Little Sheldon.

After that, Mike took the information and took Peggy and Little Sheldon to the research location of the three people.

It is a work station with a computer and thruster model.

It is worth mentioning that for this scientific research project, Professor John and the two applied to the school for a large research laboratory, which looks like a large flat floor.

In the large flat floor, several areas are divided according to different needs.

The place where Mike and the three of them are now is considered the core area, with a comfortable location and a wide view.

"Why?" After arriving at the work station, little Sheldon was still unhappy.

"There is no reason." Mike shook his head and said, "If you can prove your ability in research, sooner or later you will get more scientific research jobs."

"I will prove myself." Little Sheldon was obviously unwilling to admit defeat, and then started to look through the research materials.

On the side, Mike and Peggy soon became involved in research.

In this way, as the research project progresses in an orderly manner, time passes day by day.

Although the three Mikes only work half a day each day these days, their smart brains are enough for them to make up for the time gap.

Even because of Little Sheldon's motivation, the project progress of the three-person team once surpassed that of the other two core groups.

When the time came on Friday afternoon, Little Sheldon, who handed over the current research results to Professor John, once again made a request to undertake more research work.

"Tomorrow is the weekend. If you can stay here all day, then I should assign more work to your group." Professor John looked at the output of Mike's group with a smile on his face: "Mike, what do you think? Woolen cloth?"

As the research project progresses, Mike has become the leader of the three-person team.

"Sorry, Professor John, I have some personal matters over the weekend, so I may not be able to come to the research group..." Study hard when you study, and rest well when you rest. Mike doesn't want to disrupt his life because of research projects.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you are not my colleagues at the university..." Professor John thought for a moment and said, "Well, the three of you don't have to come to the research laboratory on the weekends from now on. That is your personal time. "

"No, I don't agree. I can take care of Mike and Peggy's work on the weekend." Little Sheldon immediately protested when he heard that he had to rest.

As for Peggy on the side, she remained silent. In fact, if Mike hadn't been with her, the little girl wouldn't have been willing to come here.

Professor John saw the reaction of the three people in his eyes and said: "Okay, Sheldon, from now on, all your team's weekend work will be left to you."

Now, little Sheldon gets the more work he wants, and Mike and Peggy get the rest they want.

All three have bright futures.
