Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

"Brother Ziwen, is the dormitory tidied up?" Chen Qiaoyi asked.

"Well, everything is done. How is it on your side?" Zhou Ziwen replied.

"It's pretty good, my roommates are all very friendly." said Chen Shiying.

"That's good. Let's go and walk around the campus again." Zhou Ziwen said.

They strolled around the campus and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

There is a large lake on campus. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. The surrounding green trees and teaching buildings are reflected on the lake.

There are benches by the lake, where many students sit and read or chat.

"It's so beautiful here. We can come here often to read in the future." said Chen Qiaoyi.

"Yes, it must be very pleasant to study in such an environment." Chen Shiying agreed.

Afterwards, they came to the school cafeteria.

The cafeteria was crowded with people and the aroma of various delicious foods wafted into the air.

They picked out their favorite dishes and sat at the dining table to enjoy them.

"The food in this school is quite delicious and the variety is rich," said Shen Zhaodi.

"Well, it's much better than we imagined." Tang Yaoyao said.

After dinner, they returned to the dormitory and rested for a while.

In the afternoon, the school organized a freshman meeting. Freshmen from various majors gathered together to listen to speeches from school leaders and teachers.

At the meeting, the school's faculty, teaching resources and future development direction were introduced.

Zhou Ziwen and his friends listened attentively and gained a deeper understanding of Beijing University. They also became more confident about their future.

After the meeting, Zhou Ziwen rode his bicycle back to Zhou's house with the two sisters.

As soon as they returned home, Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan ran over happily to greet them.

Little Yueyue threw herself into Chen Qiaoyi's arms and said in a baby voice, "Mom, you're back!"

Chen Qiaoyi smiled and picked up her daughter, kissed her cheek, and said, "Yueyue, do you miss your mother?"

Xiao Yueyue nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

Xiao Xuanxuan held Zhou Ziwen's hand and asked curiously, "Dad, is college fun?"

Zhou Ziwen smiled and replied: "It's fun. When you grow up, you can go to college."

Zhou's mother came out of the kitchen and saw them coming back. She smiled and said, "You're back. How was school?"

Zhou Ziwen said: "Mom, the school is great, the environment is beautiful, and the teachers are great."

Mother Zhou nodded and said, "That's good. You must study hard in school and don't let down such a good opportunity."

……

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Zhou Ziwen woke up early from bed. After a simple wash, he did some boxing and kicking exercises in the yard.

Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying also got up one after another. After enjoying the breakfast prepared by Zhou's mother, the three of them rode their bicycles to school.

The campus is full of vitality in the early morning. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and onto the ground, forming golden spots.

Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang came to the classroom, where many students were already preparing for the textbook. They found their seats and sat down. After a while, the professor walked into the classroom.

The first class is a basic course in mechanical engineering - mechanical drawing.

The professor explained in detail the basic principles and specifications of mechanical drawing, skillfully drew various figures on the blackboard, and demonstrated how to use lines to accurately express the shape, size and positional relationship of mechanical parts.

In fact, with his sixth-level mechanical manufacturing ability, small skills like mechanical drawing would have reached the maximum level long ago.

Although mechanical drawing skills were already familiar to Zhou Ziwen, he still listened attentively to the professor's explanation.

One can learn from others' experience and listening to the professor's lectures can also help him improve his skills.

Zhou Ziwen carefully took note of the key points of the professor's explanation. Although this knowledge was not unfamiliar to him, he knew that studying at university was not just about mastering skills, but more importantly, it was about cultivating one's thinking ability and problem-solving methods.

In class, students listened attentively, and occasionally someone raised their hand to ask a question, and the professor would answer it patiently. Zhou Ziwen noticed that Zhou Chaoyang was also listening very carefully, and from time to time he wrote down his thoughts and questions in his notebook.

During the break, Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang walked out of the classroom and came to the corridor.

Zhou Chaoyang said excitedly: "Ziwen, this class is really good. I have a deeper understanding of mechanical drawing."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded: "Yes, Professor Liu's level is still good."

After resting for a while in the corridor, the bell rang and they returned to the classroom to prepare for the next class.

The day's schedule was very full. In addition to mechanical drawing, there were also basic courses such as physics and mathematics, as well as some professional elective courses.

In the physics class, the professor explained basic theoretical knowledge such as classical mechanics and electromagnetism in an easy-to-understand manner.

He helps students understand those abstract physical concepts through vivid experimental demonstrations and actual case analysis.

For Zhou Ziwen, although this knowledge is related to his existing knowledge system to a certain extent, the professor's unique explanation angle and in-depth explanation still made him gain a lot.

He was no longer limited to his previous understanding, but thought about the application of physical principles in mechanical engineering from a more macro and in-depth level.

For example, when studying the principles of electromagnetic induction, he began to think about how to apply it to the design of new motors to improve the power conversion efficiency of the machinery.

Mathematics classes focus on the complex theories and computational methods of advanced mathematics.

The professor wrote all kinds of formulas and derivations densely on the blackboard, and the students in the audience were concentrating on following the professor's train of thought.

In the professional elective course, Zhou Ziwen chose a course related to mechanical manufacturing technology.

This course introduces in detail the processing technology of various metal materials, the operation and programming of machine tools and equipment, and the development trend of advanced manufacturing technology.

The professor not only explains theoretical knowledge in class, but also takes students to the school's internship factory for field visits and operation demonstrations.

In the internship factory, Zhou Ziwen observed various advanced machine tools and equipment up close, such as CNC machine tools, machining centers, etc., and understood their working principles and operating procedures.

He personally performed some simple processing procedures to feel the impact of different process parameters on the processing quality of parts.

After returning to the classroom from the internship factory, the students were still not satisfied with the visit and operation and started discussions.

Zhou Ziwen actively participated in it. Combining his experience in some simple mechanical processing in the countryside, he shared with his classmates his understanding of the characteristics of different processing techniques.

He said: "In rural areas, we don't have such advanced equipment, and we rely more on manual operation and simple tools for mechanical processing."

"For example, when we polish wood or iron parts by hand, we need to control the force and angle very carefully to ensure that the processed parts meet the requirements. Although the efficiency is not high, this process has given me a deeper understanding of the details of mechanical processing." Zhou Ziwen continued.

The students listened with great interest and expressed surprise at Zhou Ziwen's experience. (End of this chapter)
