Chapter 449: There’s a Great World Inside
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Little Cat met Tao Yinzhen’s worried and forbearing red eyes and took a step closer to hug her. “I went to the research inst.i.tute. I won’t be so late in the future. Don’t worry.”
The research inst.i.tute was a place that only outstanding talents in various fields could enter after obtaining the recognition of the Great Empress.
Tao Yinzhen had mixed feelings. She admired the Great Empress’s kindness and magnanimity, and she regretted it back then.
She put on a smile. “Yes, Mother understands. The food is still in the pot. Let’s eat.”
“Okay.”
Little Cat ate very quickly. He could not wait to draw the design concept of automatic electric lights.
Tao Yinzhen suddenly stopped him. “Little Cat, the Zhang family is still waiting for an answer. If you’re unwilling, I’ll use the excuse that you’re still young to reject this marriage.”
Little Cat stopped in his tracks and looked at her. “Mother, you can agree to them.”
Tao Yinzhen thought that he would not agree. After all, the two children seemed to have had a conflict previously. When Little Cat agreed, she was surprised for a moment before saying happily, “Okay, okay, okay.”
Little Cat returned to the room and lit a candle. On the basis of the electric light, he designed a Little Cat doll. He planned to stuff the small power generation device into the doll and install small lights as the cat’s eyes.
After school the next day, he hurriedly rushed to the research lab, wanting to turn the generator that he had a.s.sembled the day before into a light.
However, he quickly realized that it was very easy for the generator to heat up if it was placed in the doll like this. It was very inconvenient for the wick to come into contact with it, so it could not light up easily.
He was still trying to figure out how to solve this problem when the wick suddenly went out. He checked around and consulted the others. Only then did he know that the generator he had made was too small and did not have enough power. The wick could only be lit for a while.
There were only two ways to make the doll light up longer. One was to replace with a large generator and continue to power it, or find a way to continuously transmit electricity into the generator inside the doll.
If it was changed to a larger generator, the entire doll would be abnormally c.u.mbersome.
What should he do to transfer the electric current to the generator inside the doll? What should he do with the connection?
Little Cat was at a loss. He asked everyone in the research room and He Jinchuan, who was in charge of repairing the power station, said to him, “As long as the wire is long enough, just plug it in.”
Little Cat still did not know about the power station, so he could not help but ask, “What if there are no outlets around? Can you think of a way to store the electricity in the doll or make it convenient to carry?”
By the time the power station was completely built, it would take at least half a year for it to fully supply the electricity to the entire Carefree City. Little Cat wanted to have a way to turn on the lights without plugging in.
He Jinchuan was stunned by Little Cat’s question. After a long time, he said, “You can think about it yourself.” Afraid that he would run to ask Bai Wutong, he reminded, “The Great Empress is due for delivery soon. Don’t disturb her for small matters.”
Little Cat nodded. “I won’t disturb the Great Empress. I’ll think of a way myself.”
He Jinchuan chuckled. “A young child knows no fear.” He threw him a book.
“Take it and read it carefully. Perhaps you’ll find the answer.”
Little Cat took He Jinchuan’s book. It was a book of advanced mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
He thanked He Jinchuan ecstatically. He Jinchuan smiled and said, “Ask me if you don’t understand, although there are some things I don’t understand too.”
Little Cat bowed deeply again and said gratefully, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. I’d also like to know if there’s any other way to light up the electric lamp after it’s detached from the wire device.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled before going back to their respective research.
Little Cat had to go to school in the day. After school, he would go to the research inst.i.tute. Sometimes, he would stay up all night in the research inst.i.tute. He did not have enough rest so he often dozed off in cla.s.s.
However, Little Cat’s results were also the best, so it was inevitable that some people would think that he was arrogant and did not take his teacher and the others seriously. They would gossip about him behind his back.
Little Cat’s form teacher was good friends with Cui Shize, so he specially went to look for Cui Shize and told him about Little Cat’s recent situation to prevent him from being isolated by everyone.
No matter how talented a person was, they could not escape the criticism of this world. His form teacher still hoped that Little Cat would not be so antisocial.
Cui Shize knew Little Cat well and knew that he was definitely not arrogant. He thanked the form teacher for his reminder and found Little Cat to ask about his situation.
After knowing that Little Cat had been staying up late to do research and that the middle school curriculum was too simple, that’s why he was so tired that he fell asleep.
However, ever since he found out about everyone’s discussion, he would drink a large cup of tea every day after cla.s.s to get rid of his sleepiness. This made Cui Shize’s heart ached.
Cui Shize thought for a moment and said, “If you complete a test and meet the requirements, you can enter Qinghe University in advance.”
Since Little Cat was smart, there was no need to waste his talent in middle school.
The curriculum of Qinghe University was chosen by each student. The time could also be adjusted according to one’s personal situation, and the curriculum was not as intensive as in middle school.
Little Cat’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly nodded. “Thank you, Teacher.”
This way, he would have more time to deal with the way to store electricity.
Cui Shize quickly arranged an admission test for Little Cat.
Apart from the basic examination, there were also many specialization categories for the entrance examination of Qinghe University. According to the requirements of the one plus three examination, Little Cat did the tests in one go and took the examination for four hours in a separate examination hall.
As soon as the exam papers were collected, Yang Quanzi and the other teachers personally graded the basic exam paper. The other three specialization exam papers were also personally reviewed by the respective teachers.
In two hours, Little Cat’s results were out.
Apart from the open-ended questions, Little Cat scored almost full marks.
Cui Shize could guarantee that even the teachers of Qinghe University might not be able to obtain such an outstanding result.
He successfully entered Qinghe University. Apart from the research room, he would ask all kinds of questions to the physics professors.
Although they were teachers, they had not been in contact with physics much longer than Little Cat. They had only listened to Bai Wutong teach a few more lessons.
Soon, they could not keep up with Little Cat’s pace. They were even a little afraid that Little Cat would keep looking for them.
The news that even the teachers of Qinghe University were afraid of Little Cat spread. The originally rumors about him were swept away and he even became an existence that many students looked up to and admired.
Madam Zhang also felt that she had picked up a treasure by choosing Little Cat for her daughter in advance.
At this moment, Little Cat did another earth-shattering thing.
He researched hard and finally found a way to store electricity separately.
After Bai Wutong heard the news, she immediately went to the research lab.
There was a doll in front of Little Cat. The doll’s eyes were lit.
Everyone said, “Isn’t this just storing the generator in your stomach?”
He Jinchuan smiled and shook his head. “This doll has been lit up since yesterday. The electricity should have been used up long ago. There’s a great world inside..”
