I've done whatever I want

Just as Xin Tong was filled with emotion, He Weijia came over and asked loudly: "Xin Tong, have you bought a bicycle?"

"No!" Xin Tong was almost confused by the sudden question.

"Do you know how big the area of ​​Tsinghua University is?" He Weijia continued to ask.

"It covers an area of ​​more than 6000 acres!" Xin Tong had seen Tsinghua University's promotional materials, and he remembered this data deeply.

"Yes, Tsinghua University is as deep as the sea. It is difficult to travel without a bicycle. Generally speaking, the dormitories are far away from the classrooms, cafeterias and libraries. So how can you live without a bicycle when studying in Tsinghua University? Everyone who enters Tsinghua University As a new student in the kindergarten, the first thing you need to do is to get a rear-wheel drive car. Wherever you go, let’s go and I’ll take you to Ximen to choose a bicycle.” He Weijia invited enthusiastically.

Xin Tong's head turned, and there was some truth in what this dear man said.

Xin Tong knew that he had participated in the Olympiad national training team and was looking for an opportunity to have an in-depth communication with him, so he nodded.

When the two walked out of the Zijin Student Apartment, Xin Tong noticed that the parking floor was indeed full of bicycles.

After leaving the apartment building, they boarded the free campus bus at the nearby campus bus stop and headed towards the west gate.

Along the way, Xin Tong looked at everything on campus curiously through the car window.

What surprised him was that there were indeed many cyclists on those two-way roads about ten meters wide. Some were reading while riding, and some were eating instant noodles on their bicycles, racing against time and eye-opening.

"There are very few cars on the Tsinghua campus. Professors also like to ride bicycles when traveling. Even if they encounter cars, Tsinghua's policy is to give way to non-motorized vehicles for motor vehicles. Riding a bicycle feels very refreshing. It is not the peak traffic period yet. When the school officially starts and rushes to and from school, you will find that the entire road is a sea of ​​bicycles. The two exits of the Sixth Education, the section between the Fifth Education and the Third Education, and the exit of the First Education will all be blocked. The road downstairs from the Bauhinia Apartment where we live is so congested that it will make you doubt your life." He Weijia, who has lived in Tsinghua Park for four years, is quite emotional about Tsinghua's cycling culture.

"The school is too big, everyone wants to grab time!"

"Yes! However, if you have a bicycle, you are a car owner after all, and it will be much more convenient to chase your girlfriend!" He Weijia said that young men can never talk about beautiful women.

"Does this Tsinghua University bicycle have a story?" Xin Tong was full of curiosity.

"Brother, I got my girlfriend with my broken bicycle!" He Weijia's face was full of pride.

"really?"

"For a while, I thought it was time to find a girlfriend. When class was over, I would drive my bicycle downstairs to the girls' dormitory. If I saw who was prettier, I would pretend to bump into her accidentally. Falling in love was a probability. Events will definitely happen as long as you try. This is how my love came about!" After He Weijia finished speaking, he laughed.

"It's simple and crude, but it works! Jiajia, you are also a master at picking up girls!" Xin Tong said with a smile.

"Xin Tong, you are so handsome, do you have a girlfriend?" He Weijia asked curiously.

"Me? Hahaha, I'm already married! No need to fall in love with a bicycle!"

"What does your wife do?" He Weijia didn't find it strange that such a handsome guy had a girlfriend.

"She graduated from Stanford University. She used to work in finance on Wall Street. Now she works in Lujiazui, Shanghai. She is a senior investment director of a world-famous fund company!" Xin Tong said calmly.

"Brother, you are so awesome. How did you deceive a beautiful woman who graduated from Stanford University? Oh my god! Give me some valuable experience when you have time!" He Weijia joked.

"Jiajia, do you also want to go to the United States?" Xin Tong asked.

"Yes, I originally planned to study in the United States after my undergraduate degree, but the supervisor I was optimistic about only accepted doctoral students, so I had no choice but to stay in Tsinghua University for a few more years!" He Weijia shook his head, full of regret.

"Oh!"

"If I had gone to the United States to study, we would never have met. The mentor I chose also graduated from Tsinghua University. His name is Lu Wei, and he is a professor at the University of Michigan!" "Are you studying memory chips?" I heard. Lu Wei's name, Xin Tong suddenly remembered that he flew to the United States to propose marriage a month ago. Professor Lu Wei shared with him the limitations of the von Neumann architecture.

"Yes, he will come to Tsinghua University to give a lecture next month!"

"Great, call me to listen together when the time comes!"

"Okay!"

"Professor Lu studies memory chips, Jiajia, so you plan to study memory chips in the future?" Xin Tong asked.

"Yes, I am optimistic about the opportunities in this area. When the computer is running, the von Neumann architecture requires frequent data reading and writing, which will bring about bandwidth, delay and power consumption problems, forming a storage wall, making the memory It has become a bottleneck limiting computing power, and Professor Lu Wei is on the road to breaking the storage wall." He Weijia said.

"If this problem can be solved, the computing power of the chip will be greatly improved, and the scenario of human life will be fundamentally changed!"

"Xin Tong, you are so right. It seems that you have also studied memory chips. Have you chosen your professional direction?"

"Like you, I also choose memory chips!" Xin Tong smiled slightly.

"very good!"

As they were talking, the campus bus stopped at the bus stop near the west gate. There were still many people getting off at this stop. School had just started to register, and many people were heading towards the bicycle shop.

The summer sun is very strong, and the bicycle shops near Ximen have set up tents to provide shade. The billboards to attract customers read in English: selling bicycles.

In front of the bicycle shop, there are rows of brand-new bicycles and repaired second-hand bicycles parked. The sun shines on those bicycles, making them look shiny.

There is an endless stream of people buying cars. There are many domestic students and many international students. It is like a market.

Xin Tong was not short of money, so he chose a luxurious bicycle while everyone was envious.

"Brother, you must remember to lock your bicycle in the future, otherwise the security office may need to help you find a bicycle soon!" He Weijia said with a smile.

"Is it so scary?"

"There is an interesting story circulated in Tsinghua University. A classmate bought a second-hand car for 300 yuan and a lock for 20 yuan. After riding for a day, it was stolen. When he bought the second car, he bought three locks. And left a message to see how you steal it. After class, I went out to take a look. The car was in good condition, but there was an extra lock. There was a reply on the note to see how you could open it. Another classmate was afraid of losing his car, so he spent [-] yuan to buy a lock. When I went out after class, I saw that the car was in good condition, but the lock was missing!" He Weijia said.

Xin Tong burst out laughing when he heard this.

After buying the bicycle, Xin Tong pushed the bicycle and the two of them walked towards the dormitory.

"Xin Tong, if you have a bicycle, you must practice your driving skills in the future. There are many cars in Tsinghua University, and there are also many car accidents. Not only is there a huge amount of traffic on the road during peak hours, but the road sections are filled with various roadblocks, mixed with cars and walkers. , in such a chaotic situation, if you want to fight your way out, you must practice a set of unique skills, such as point kill, side turning, drifting, static stabilization, instant acceleration, instant jump, etc., so as to avoid car accidents. "

"Thank you, roommate, for your advice!" Xin Tong thought to himself that with an old Tsinghua University student by his side, he would indeed be able to avoid a lot of detours.

"Let me test you. Is the person in front of you a freshman or an old student?" Following He Weijia's hand, Xin Tong saw a young man riding a dilapidated bicycle. He was no different from the students next to him.

Xin Tong shook his head.

"There is a rumor in Tsinghua that for those who ride bicycles on the road, the worse the bike, the higher the grade; the newer the bike, the lower the grade; those who ride flying pigeons are usually undergraduates, and those who ride Lao Niu are likely to be professors! "He Weijia said.

When Xin Tong heard this, he thought it was very reasonable. He nodded. He did not expect that Tsinghua people would study bicycles so deeply. It has become a unique culture.
