My art is too advanced.

Chapter 322 Suggestion: Read More Books? (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!!)
Zhou Yue quickly sent the annotations back.

Director Li also looked at it carefully, but the dense red writing left him speechless.

How could you send so many annotations so quickly?

Moreover, the most frequently mentioned point in it is to read more books!

Read more books of this type.

Director Li didn't know what to say. He told his graduate students, doctoral students, and even some experts in ancient book collation or philology research that Professor Zhou encouraged them to read more books.

And indeed, some of the books mentioned in those annotations are extremely obscure, but they do exist. Others may not have read them; even those who work on ancient book collation may only compile a list of their titles.

Have you read these books?
These people are all quite professional, but these books are too obscure, and it would take a lot of effort to specifically read this book for such a small point of knowledge.

Zhou Yue simply marked these books and highlighted the relevant knowledge points in red to show that the information was indeed in the book, then asked you to find it yourself and continue to refine your understanding.

This really resonated with Director Li.

Reading is a lifelong pursuit, especially for academic research, but some of the books Professor Zhou wrote were ones that he had never read.

"Literature is a broad category. You can't just focus on your own specialty. If you master your specialty, you're just an expert. To become a master, you need to be more well-rounded."

This is Director Li's current thought.

In fact, we are no longer in an era where masters emerge. The last master may have passed away decades ago. After the specialization of disciplines, those who can become experts are extremely rare, let alone masters.

Experts represent authority and have sufficient influence in the industry, but not all experts have necessarily read these books.

The Zhaoming Anthology says, "He aspired to learn, but even in his old age, he could not study everything."

I've focused on reading since I was a child, but even now that I'm old, I haven't been able to read all of them.

That's how books are. Some experts say they've read all the books, which isn't wrong, since there are only so many good books, and the rest are just scraps. But even among these scraps, there are some good things.

It depends on one's own choices, which is why anthologies of literature exist.

But doing academic research is not like compiling anthologies.

So you should read all the books you need to read, especially those related to your major.

Zhou Yue's annotations mostly consisted of the suggestion to "continue improving upon this work, referring to xxx."

"Then let's send it for further improvement."

Director Li could only sigh and say, "There are always more capable people behind the most capable ones. These people specialize in this kind of research, but they probably haven't read as many books as someone who studies architecture."

How does Teacher Zhou's brain work? And how does he manage to read ten lines at a glance and then memorize everything?
He felt somewhat horrified.

However, this project was ultimately led by Professor Zhou. In fact, there were three applicants for this project, and although Professor Zhou was relatively inexperienced, he was listed first.

Director Li did not deny this at all, after all, the idea was proposed by Teacher Zhou, and Teacher Zhou did a lot of work in it.

After Zhou Yue reviewed their 720 pages of research findings, it only took them five days to turn them into over 1,000 pages.

It must be said that the most important thing for these people is to listen to advice.

Dean Chen was also deeply moved as he looked at these achievements.

Teacher Zhou is practically a walking encyclopedia! You can just tell him what you need, and he'll refine it after you finish, and that's usually enough to pass. It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized the truth.

When Professor Zhou said he would complete all these things within six months, it was definitely not just empty talk. In fact, the idea of ​​him leading two graduate students to do this kind of thing within six months didn't seem like an unattainable goal.

This is actually terrifying.

But after all, this is Teacher Zhou.

Everything seems normal again?

I don't understand.

In short, Professor Zhou seems to have become synonymous with academia.

So Dean Chen simply instructed his subordinates to continue doing this task; he didn't concern himself with anything else and just distributed Professor Zhou's annotations.

As for the rest, he didn't think much about it.

Teacher Zhou handles everything himself, and they don't need to manage anything else.

However, in the past month or so, they have indeed seen that this feature has the potential to take shape, and it could even be almost completed within three months.

A month.

They were able to produce over a thousand pages of data by going through the materials one by one and searching for information. As for the errors, Professor Zhou pointed them out after reviewing them.

He completed all the annotations in just a few days, which amazed everyone else.

Zhou Yue shook his rather sore hands. "If you don't have a good body, you really can't do academic work. After all, academic work is really mentally and physically demanding. Now I finally understand why those PhDs go to the gym and lift weights."

"If I didn't go to the gym, I probably would have been worn down by my studies long ago."

Studying is really tiring, especially when you reach the highest level. If you don't have a good body, you probably won't be able to keep going.

Even he, who takes drugs all the time, is finding it hard to handle such intense work now, so others are probably in even worse shape.

He also felt a little sad.

Don't know what to say.

Lin Ning glanced at his computer screen and said, "Brother Yue, why does your humanities stuff look like scribbles? So many mistakes?"

"No, this is a dictionary that is being completed. They still have quite a few errors, and a lot of things are not included."

"What? Wasn't this how it was when I graded your paper? It was all red marks."

Lin Ning felt a chill run down her spine after reading it; she almost had a phobia of trypophobia. No one expected that humanities subjects would be so mentally taxing.

It's like making one mistake after another?
Then why even bother with this project?

"Actually, it's not all a bunch of mistakes, but there are still some areas that need improvement, or areas that can be better."

"We'll see when the time comes. It should be ready after a few revisions."
