Chapter 371: Chapter 244: The Poor Who Learn From Coins, Can’t Afford to Get Hurt! _2
This is too dang gossipy!
Zhao Yi mulled over continuing to use "Correlation Law", targeting the two girls with the most... well, upper body mass.
The System immediately provided a vague link between the two, like similar shapes... well.
Not appropriate for kids!
Zhao Yi prided himself on being an upright person. Even if he got the information, he absolutely wouldn’t look at it.
The dining hall.
After grabbing his food, Zhao Yi noticed Fan Lei and Li Renzhe from afar and went over with his tray.
The two were almost done eating.
Fan Lei was picking his teeth leisurely, his feet curled up; Li Renzhe on the other hand, was sipping his soup while engrossed in his math workbook.
"Working so hard?"
Zhao Yi was pretty amazed at seeing him like this.
Fan Lei scoffed, "This guy’s just pretending, see those girls over there? He holds his workbook, feigning dedication."
"You don’t understand, finals are approaching." Li Renzhe explained unhappily.
Fan Lei retorted, "With your grades, Calculus is a breeze, you already got over 80, why aim for full marks?"
"Every extra mark counts," Li Renzhe replied earnestly.
Zhao Yi also displayed a look of disdain, he supported Fan Lei’s theory.
Li Renzhe...
This guy loves to show off, habitually sitting in the last row. His strong suit in Calculus probably had something to do with him?
For instance, whenever he sat with him, he’d always attract girls’ attention around them. Li Renzhe kept himself in an upright posture.
No matter whether he was really paying attention, every single class was like that, that was impressive in itself.
Otherwise...
Why was his performance in C language not good? Even the little assignment after class was copied from others.
Li Renzhe simply ignored Fan Lei, held up the workbook and asked Zhao Yi, "Check out this question, I’ve been thinking about it and I still can’t solve it".
Zhao Yi glanced down.
There were two problems on the workbook, one of them had been solved, the other one was only half done. He’d probably gotten stuck midway and left it incomplete.
A differential equation was indeed a brain-burner.
Zhao Yi seemed to be thinking about the problem, but was in fact, using "Correlation Law". He wanted to see what use "Correlation Law" could be when it came to math problems.
The feedback came.
This time it consumed a bit of energy.
Zhao Yi received the feedback in his mind, his eyes momentarily brightened. The feedback had commonalities in the solutions of the two problems, such as the mathematical formulas they both used and the similar steps in the process.
Besides the mathematical formulas, the rest of the feedback was pretty vague.
Zhao Yi got the hang of it, "I see. Besides definite things, the rest of the feedback is vague."
"Hence it’s called a vague correlation..."
The major use of this vague correlation for a problem could let him know the mathematical formulas used as well as some overall operational processes.
For instance, one question required steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and another question required steps 2, 5, 7, 8, then the feedback would be steps 2 and 5.
Step 2 and 5 were the conditions for solving the problem, but steps 7 and 8 were still missing.
But anyway, after using "Correlation Law", part of the process was already there, which could be considered as conditions for solving the problem.
This could be really helpful if used in conjunction with other capabilities.
Zhao Yi studied carefully for quite a while, then looked up at Li Renzhe, "The answer is π/2."
"What?" freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"The answer. I told you, it’s π/2."
"Yeah, I know that? The answer’s at the back of the book, but how come..."
Zhao Yi replied earnestly, "Mate! If you really want to improve math, you must think more. What help does my giving you the answer offer you? None!"
"Keep going!"
"Ponder it well, work it out well, you can surely do it!"
"..."
Li Renzhe returned, still in a daze, holding his exercise book.
Fan Lei gave a thumbs up, not sure if it was because Zhao Yi had solved the problem verbally, or because he hadn’t helped Li Renzhe with his process.
Help Renzhe?
This guy’s mouth was always running, chatting relentlessly with Linlin, even with Xu Mengyan and Zhou Tingting, spreading the fact he was researching the Goldbach Conjecture around the whole school.
This gossiping male who only knows how to show off...
What the hell!
Now as a professor of mathematics at the School of Sciences, I am obliged to tell him to strive to solve problems on his own!
......
The next morning, Zhao Yi went to the Biomedical Research Institute after his classes.
It was an important day.
Some of the lab equipment was being upgraded. A worker came to install a large microscope, along with several other advanced devices. It was the institute’s support for the lab.
The upgrading of laboratory equipment was indeed something to be celebrated. The necessary projects also had to be carried out.
The Rheumatoid Arthritis project was officially approved.
Zhao Yi had already discussed it with Ai Lixin, Zhang Wei, and Liu Chengjie. They were also prepared for the new project.
Ai Lixin was the most prepared.
In the field of biomedical research and specifically for the Rheumatoid Arthritis project, Ai Lixin had the most experience in the lab. He had specially prepared a large stack of materials for the Rheumatoid Arthritis project.
Upon approval of the project, they needed to hold a small meeting within the lab.
Of course.
There were just four people in the lab, so the meeting wasn’t so formal. Ai Lixin was discussing where they should begin their research.
This was a crucial matter.
As the saying goes, ’a good beginning is half the battle won’. Finding a suitable starting point might bring progress to the initial research, whereas the wrong starting point might lead to stagnation.
The rheumatoid arthritis project was huge, which resulted in numerous potential starting points.
They needed to make a choice.
Ai Lixin’s preparation helped familiarize the others with the current research on rheumatoid arthritis in the country. "According to past research, rheumatoid arthritis is closely related to human streptococcal infection. Therefore, we should start with streptococcal infection."
"Streptococcus is prevalent in nature. An infection can lead to pyogenic inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and respiratory infections, among others."
"The relationship between such bacterial infections and rheumatoid arthritis is what we should study first...."
"In regards to the specific relationship between infection and pathology, the medical world still doesn’t have a definite statement, and hence we need a lot of clinical data. We need to communicate with Xiehe Hospital in this regard...."
Ai Lixin spoke about a lot all at once, mainly introducing where he believed they should start, that is, with human streptococcal infection.
However, as for how they should conduct research on streptococcal infection, he did not provide a definitive plan.
Of course.
If they knew the easiest way to study rheumatoid arthritis pathology, it would no longer be a challenge in the medical world.
As Zhao Yi listened to Ai Lixin speak, he furrowed his brows. Suddenly, he wondered if he could apply the "Correlation Law" to find the link between human streptococcal infection and rheumatoid arthritis.
"Perhaps, it could work?"
As he pondered, he tried to apply the "Correlation Law". The result gave him a headache—
[Using the "Correlation Law" consumes 17 energy points. Do you want to use it?]
[Yes!]
Although consuming 17 energy points was acceptable, he had only accumulated 21 points since yesterday and had just used 17 in one go. It stung a little.
Taking into account the subsequent supplement of the expenditure, his Study Coins were about to hit zero.
Study Coin poor... my wallet hurts!
Zhao Yi missed the times when he was wealthy in Study Coins. Back then, he had over 10,000 Study Coins to spend without restraint. He didn’t have to worry about energy points when doing research.
But now...
He had to slow down!
