Chapter 1463 A Boy Chasing His Dreams (First Update, Please Subscribe)
Everyone has their own understanding of prosperity.

Many outsiders are often surprised at the prosperity here, and then exclaim "This is a miracle". As a result, the "Equator Miracle" is praised by almost the whole world.

At the same time, the people here seem to have adapted to all of this a long time ago, especially for the young first generation. In their growing up memories, although they have witnessed high-rise buildings springing up on the horizon, in their opinion, all of this is taken for granted and is normal.

After all, in their memories, maybe there was desolation here, but they witnessed it all, witnessed the birth of prosperity. Therefore, they think that all this is natural and there is nothing abnormal.

In fact, this is exactly the difference between the first generation and others.

The so-called first generation does not only refer to those who were born here, but also those who grew up here and received education here. Perhaps they have memories of their homeland in their childhood, but they have more memories of here. They have witnessed all of this, and they are also enjoying all of this.

What is life like for young people in this land?
For sixteen-year-old Zhao Xiangming, his life is very simple, nothing more than studying. As a student of a liberal arts high school, his goal is to get into university.

Although British and American education has had an impact on education here in the past few years, the education system in Borneo is traditionally German-based. After graduating from compulsory education, children will enter different schools to continue their studies: general secondary schools, industrial secondary schools, and liberal arts secondary schools.

The first two are vocational schools, and graduates from ordinary middle schools are basically ordinary workers in various industries, including construction workers. On the other hand, graduates from industrial middle schools are more complex skilled positions, such as nursing, secretarial, and assembly line inspection.

The liberal arts schools go straight to the college entrance examination, although the students of the first two schools can also take the joint examination. But in most cases, after graduation, they will first serve in the military and then find a job.

And what about Zhao Xiangming?
As a student at a liberal arts high school, going to college was his only personal choice.

During the break, my deskmate Guo Linghang chatted with his classmates about filling out their college applications, and his tone was full of longing for college life.

Zhao Xiangming, on the other hand, remained as a bystander, with a smile on his face, and did not say anything.

It’s not that he didn’t have much aspirations for college, but because he had set a goal a long time ago.

"Xiang Ming, what about you? Which university do you want to apply to?"

"Do I need to ask? Nanyang University, Department of Physics. He's the one who's going to build a spaceship!"

"Build a spaceship!"

This is Zhao Xiangming’s dream. He has had this dream every time he saw a satellite enter space.

“Why not aviation?”

Without waiting for Zhao Xiangming to answer, Guo Linghang said:

"You don't understand this, come, Xiang Ming, tell him."

"because……"

Zhao Xiangming smiled and said:
"Our rocket technology is too backward at present. Although we have sent humans into space, it is at best equivalent to the Austronesians launching a canoe on the Bay Island thousands of years ago. It takes us about three days to fly to the moon with such a canoe, and 6 to 9 months to fly to Mars. Even if we conquer space with such a canoe, we will only be Austronesians in the space age. We will be like them, scattered in the vast space, and live on those planets like the Austronesians, but that's it. After hundreds or thousands of years, they will be isolated, just like the Austronesians in the Pacific..."

The canoe of the "Austronesian" is Zhao Xiangming's definition of "rocket". As early as junior high school, when a scientist from a space technology exploration company came to the school to give a lecture, Zhao Xiangming proposed this point of view to him and was supported by the scientist.

It was from that time that his dream was to leave behind the Austronesian people's "canoe".

"Humans can enter the ocean with canoes, but they cannot conquer the ocean. Humans truly conquered the ocean with the galleon. After having large sailing ships, humans conquered the vast ocean, which led to the Age of Exploration and the creation of modern civilization. If humans want to enter the Age of Exploration in space, they must have new breakthroughs. We not only need larger spacecraft, but also faster speeds. It is difficult to solve this problem by simply studying the field of aviation. We need to make breakthroughs in physics, otherwise, everything will be empty talk..."

When Zhao Xiangming said this, his tone was firm, and it seemed that what he was talking about was not a fantasy, but the work he was going to devote himself to.

In fact, young people are like this. They believe in and are willing to work hard for their dreams. It is because of their dreams that they pursue and work hard.

Looking at his good friend, Guo Linghang asked:
"So, you're building a faster, bigger ship?"

"No!"

Zhao Xiangming shook his head and said:
"I want to conquer space! I want to be the one who conquers space..."

Has humanity conquered space?

In Zhao Xiangming's view, humans have just entered the space. What does conquering space mean? It means that human spaceships can fly freely on various planets, just like the galleons that sailed on the oceans during the Age of Discovery. Those seemingly simple galleons sent millions of humans to the New World.

In the future, there will be new-age Galleons that will carry millions of humans to every corner of space and to new planets, and humans will once again begin a new era of colonization.

Only then will we truly conquer space.

Now, it's just a matter of throwing a canoe into the Pacific Ocean!

"Physics... and only physics can allow us to conquer space!"

Zhao Xiangming raised the physics textbook in his hand and said with a smile:

"So, I'm going to the Department of Physics at Nanyang University. Maybe, there, one day, I'll be able to solve this problem. Who knows?"

As he finished speaking, sunlight shone through the window onto the boy, with golden spots dotting his short black hair, as if covering him with a layer of dazzling brilliance. His eyes were firm, like a rock, and no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, his determination could not be shaken. "Maybe I will never find the answer in my lifetime."

When Zhao Xiangming heard his classmates muttering, he laughed:
"Then let's have another life. Many things are like this. If we don't try, how will we know? Just like Columbus, if he didn't do something that everyone thought was impossible, how could he have discovered the New World and opened up the Age of Exploration?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a classmate said:
“It was Vasco da Gama who opened up new shipping routes.”

There are argumentative people everywhere, even in high school. In response to his classmate's rebuttal, Zhao Xiangming just smiled and did not respond.

He knew the answer very well in his heart. Da Gama was just the one who opened up a new shipping route, while Columbus was the pioneer of the Age of Exploration. He was not the first to discover the New World, but so what?

The Indians, Incas, and even the Austronesians and Vikings who discovered the New World either disappeared in the New World or were isolated from civilization and became the so-called indigenous peoples.

Only Columbus truly discovered and conquered the ocean, and human civilization entered a new chapter.

"Haha, when you succeed, I will be the navigator of a spaceship and go to the New World."

"Guo Linghang, that's a new planet!"

"It's all the same, it's all the same, we always need a navigator!"

“By then, it might be replaced by computers!”

Soon, the laughter of the students once again became the mainstream in the classroom. For teenagers, their lives are always so happy and simple.

Even Zhao Xiangming was there chatting and laughing with his classmates, completely losing his previous serious look.

After school in the afternoon, as usual, Zhao Xiangming lay there doing his homework and reviewing his lessons. He was busy until after nine o'clock in the evening when he finally finished.

In fact, this is also the situation here. Although elementary school only has a few hours of classes every day, both elementary school and junior high school require students to give their all.

Just like graduating from junior high school, many students with average grades will enter ordinary middle schools, where they will receive vocational training. In the future, they will enter factories and enterprises and become skilled workers. Industrial middle schools train people for skilled jobs.

Liberal arts and science high schools train college students, and universities are also divided into different levels. Although the admission rate of ordinary universities is about 40%, the admission rate of the eight major universities headed by Nanyang University is only 2%, and the admission rate of Nanyang University is even lower.

Therefore, every student who wants to enter Nanyang University has to make amazing efforts - even your son failed to get admitted to Nanyang University!

Last year, when this news came out, Nanyang University once again became famous across the country.

Distance to Nanyang University - 2.75 kilometers!

Looking at the words written on the calendar, Zhao Xiangming's eyes were firm. He knew what he should do and also knew his goals.

Department of Physics, Nanyang University!
This is his goal!
He felt that he could definitely achieve this goal. After all, his academic performance was there.

"Okay, there's only one year left. In one year, I will be admitted to Nanyang University!"

Once again, Zhao Xiangming encouraged himself and took out the book to start flipping through it. However, he was not reading the textbook, but the "Physics" magazine. Although he was only a high school student, his attainments in physics were not worse than many college students.

I don’t know how long I watched, but there was a knock on the door, and then my mother’s voice came from outside the door.

"A Ming, you haven't rested yet, right?"

Then Mary opened the door, looked at her son and said:

"It's late, we should rest."

"Yes, pretty Lady Mary, I only have one problem to calculate!"

Mary laughed at her son's words and said:
"Okay, I'll give you another thirty minutes at the latest, understand?"

thirty minutes?

This is not enough!
It was said to take thirty minutes, but it took Zhao Xiangming almost an hour to finally understand the principle. Then he took off his clothes and went to bed, planning to have a good sleep and continue working hard tomorrow.

Realizing dreams is easier said than done, but it is not as simple as you think.

The moonlight shone in from the window, shrouding the boy in the dim moonlight. Although he was lying on the bed, his eyes were firm, as if he was ready to face all challenges. At this moment, he was no longer an ordinary boy, but a brave warrior and a fearless dreamer.

In fact, it was not this moment, but when he was very young, Zhao Xiangming set his goal and became a dreamer.

And what is least lacking in this land is dream chasers like him. If so, what is the biggest difference in this land?
It is to encourage people to pursue their dreams, to impact and challenge their dreams.
