American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

As we can see from the above, this was an encouragement that Prince Thermopylis gave to his daughter before he knew he was about to die.

It is full of life philosophy and also subtly carries the spirit of national righteousness.

Those words seemed to encourage his daughter to bravely take that step and become the heir to the kingdom. But Prince Thermopyls seemed to have forgotten that he was first and foremost a father.

This is also why Mia is sad.

“A true hero is not one who is without fear, but one who moves forward despite fear!” Mike pondered for a moment and commented, “Thermopolis is a respectable man.”

"Maybe~" The girl was still not very interested.

“Alright, we’ve looked through the family album. Now, let’s do something we love to do…” Mike rolled over and picked the girl up.

[Charm attribute +5]...[Flexibility attribute +1]...

It turns out that doing something stimulating can be surprisingly effective in relieving emotional stress.

An hour later, the girl, now dressed in a different outfit and with a rosy complexion, saw Mike to the door.

"So, how far have you gotten? Have you done *that*?" After Mike left, Ms. Helen suddenly appeared beside her daughter and asked gossipily.

A private conversation between mother and daughter.

The girl nodded, then, her face flushing even more, she shook her head.

Seeking thrills doesn't necessarily require that.

Thinking about Mike's various novel requests, the girl felt a little ashamed in front of her mother.

"Do you have him or not? Just say it!" Ms. Helen said anxiously. "Fine, how about I teach you a few tricks? I guarantee you'll win him over. Let me tell you, boys this good are rare. You'll definitely regret it if you miss out..."

"My affairs are none of your business~" Hearing her mother's lewd words, Mia climbed up to the attic in embarrassment and anger to avoid further embarrassment.

"Hey, what are you doing up in the attic again? Dinner time is almost here, come down here!" Ms. Helen called from below.

……

And just like that, another week passed.

As Mike and Mia's relationship continued to heat up this week, the students at school had already assumed that the two were a couple.

It was another weekend afternoon. Mike, the experienced time manager, accompanied Mia to her grandmother's house for her studies, and then took Lina back to Connie's maternal grandmother's house.

[Charisma Attribute +3]...[Holy Lance Experience +1]...[Holy Lance Experience +1]...

"Who's prettier, me or Mia?" During their tender moment, Lina asked the question that every woman loves to ask.

Clearly, the situation at school lately has made Lina a little jealous of Mia.

"Of course you're prettier~" Mike blurted out without thinking.

Hesitating for even a second on this kind of question is disrespectful to women.

“You answered correctly…” Lina smiled happily, then added, “Actually, I know I’m not as pretty as Mia. It’s okay if you like her more, I just hope you won’t leave me…”

Lina is actually very beautiful, but she's just a bit unlucky. During the era of the "Devil Body Group," she was overshadowed by the brilliance of Regina and the others.

Who knew that after the three girls from the "Devilish Figures" group left, a new Princess Mia has appeared.

This made Lina a little insecure.

"Of course, you're my baby. I'll never leave you as long as you want." Mike could spout cheesy words without hesitation.

Because of his good looks, charm, and charisma, these words don't come across as greasy when he says them.

"Alright, I should go home now, or my mother and the others will find out." Lina, who had satisfied both physically and mentally, took her leave like a spoiled brat.

More than a year has passed, and the girl still maintains the image of a well-behaved girl in front of her parents, which is quite remarkable.

It was precisely because of this caution that Lina avoided a lot of trouble for herself and Mike.

Then again, who wouldn't like such a beautiful and sensible girl?

After seeing the girl off, Mike, amidst Peggy's disdainful gaze, took her to Cooper's house for dinner.

"Peggy, have you grown a little taller again?" Mike suddenly asked.

I haven't noticed for a long time, but my little girl seems to have grown up a bit.

This is not surprising, though. Little girls tend to develop earlier, so it's understandable that they might grow taller around ten years old.

"To be precise, I've grown three centimeters since the New Year." Peggy gestured with her fingertips to indicate the three-centimeter distance, then glanced up at a certain unscrupulous "adult," before leaving behind a haughty back view.

It seems this little girl is very obsessed with her height.

On the Cooper family's side, the shadow of little George's departure has long since dissipated.

With their family income continuing to rise, coupled with the reduced living expenses of having one less child, the Cooper family's standard of living has reached a new level.

Congratulations!

At this time, the dining table has a full range of meat, vegetables, fruits, and other nutritious foods.

After praying, little Sheldon, who was eating apple pie, suddenly asked, "Grandma, has Professor John contacted you recently? When will his research project be approved?"

In this week, Sheldon Jr. has fully demonstrated that he has no talent for management.

Therefore, the power of this child who holds the title of student council president has gradually been usurped by the vice president.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Fortunately, Sheldon didn't have a strong desire for power, and he was unwilling to get involved in the messy affairs of the student council.

Fortunately, there was a powerful and capable vice president in the student council.

The two of them managed to get along harmoniously through their back-and-forth exchanges.

With his worries gone, Sheldon's attention naturally returned to his research project.

He's still hoping to win the Nobel Prize in Physics this December with Professor John.

"John? He hasn't contacted me in a long time. But his research project should be finalized soon!" Grandma Connie replied uncertainly.

The honeymoon period of the two elderly people's relationship has passed, and they are now in a period of calm.

Grandma is an independent woman who can have a lot of fun on her own. As for Professor John, he could be considered a mad scientist; when he gets busy with his research projects, he neglects everything else.

In this situation, it makes sense that the two haven't been in contact for a long time.

“Okay, I’ll call him later and see how things are going.” Sheldon was a little disappointed.

Chapter 292 Research Projects (Continued)

After dinner, Sheldon called Professor John.

Then he received some great news: Professor John's project on "Thruster Recovery" had been finalized, and a research team could be assembled next Monday.

Professor John also sincerely expressed his hope that Sheldon, Mike, and Peggy would join his research project.

That very evening, excited young Sheldon rushed into Connie's house to share the good news with Mike and Peggy.

"Aren't you guys excited? This is the most cutting-edge scientific research project right now, and it has the potential to win the Nobel Prize." Little Sheldon, who thought the two of them would be as excited as he was upon hearing the news, asked in surprise, seeing Mike and the other's calm reaction.

"Of course I'm excited, it'll be a great experience," Mike replied casually.

In fact, he was not optimistic about Professor John's research project, as it was too rushed to compete for this year's Nobel Prize.

Moreover, while the thruster recovery project is very practical, it lacks innovation.

Look at what other Nobel laureates in physics have been researching: cosmic rays, quantum entanglement, the study of elemental radioactivity...

These research projects are all groundbreaking and have a complete set of independent concepts.

Achieving these two things is difficult and usually requires having your own professional team that has been deeply involved in a certain field for years or even decades.

“Okay!” Young Sheldon stopped worrying about Mike and the other’s attitude and excitedly started discussing the trip to the University of Texas on Monday.

Ultimately, Mike and Sheldon decided that starting next Monday, the three of them would ask the school for afternoons off, and then Mike would drive them to the University of Texas.

As for Peggy, who was standing to the side, she didn't seem interested in these questions at all.

Monday arrived, and since Mike and his two friends were all exceptionally bright students, their knowledge far exceeded what high school students should have.

Therefore, the leave application process for the three of them went very smoothly.

After lunch, Mike drove the two little ones to the University of Texas.

At that moment, in the University of Texas laboratory, Professor John and Dr. Linklater were dividing the project researchers into groups.

To advance the research process, the Thruster Recovery project will be divided into many research groups, each responsible for only a part of the work.

Finally, Professor John and Dr. Linklater would summarize and control the overall trend of the research project.

Professor John was delighted to see Mike and his two companions arrive, and with a wave of his hand, he divided them into a separate group.

Since the research project has just started, there has been no specific division of labor yet.

So, after the group members were assigned, Professor John called out, "Mike, Sheldon, and Peggy, come here for a second..."

Mike and Sheldon Jr. had published the paper "Rocket Launch," so they were qualified to participate in more core work.

At that moment, Professor John, who was assigning tasks to the various groups, called the two over to hear their opinions.

As for Peggy, she was more of an afterthought.

Perhaps the little girl never imagined that one day she, with her exceptionally high IQ, would become a mere supporting character.

"Mike, could you take a look at the tasks I assigned to each group? Are there any problems?" Professor John asked, standing in front of a large whiteboard.

The whiteboard was covered with lines and markings, dividing the researchers into eight groups, each of which was assigned different tasks based on their weight.

"This is fine for now. We can make adjustments later based on the progress of each group's research," Mike replied, glancing at the whiteboard.

This is only the early stages of the project, and nobody knows what will happen later. The smart thing to do is to leave some room for maneuver and make adjustments when necessary.

“I think so too,” Professor John smiled.

The old professor seemed ready to make a big splash, and he looked full of fighting spirit.

“Excuse me, I think there’s a problem…” Little Sheldon raised his hand: “I think our group can handle more work.”

Because of the different weights, five of the eight groups on the writing board only need to perform repetitive numerical calculations, and are considered assistants.

The remaining three groups have specific research directions and are considered core members.

Sheldon and his two teammates have been assigned to the core group, which already represents a significant portion of the project.

However, Sheldon was still not satisfied with the result and, still full of enthusiasm, wanted to take on more responsibilities.

“Sheldon, this is a team project, everyone should act within their capabilities…” Dr. Linklater, who was also in charge of the overall planning, retorted.

Clearly, Dr. Linklater had some personal grievances against Sheldon Jr.

However, to be fair, Sheldon's age does make it hard to believe.

"What do you think?" Professor John turned his gaze to Mike Page and the other man.

Dr. Linklater is right. This research project is a team effort, and we cannot let personal preferences ruin everyone's hard work.

Therefore, it is essential to determine the capabilities of each group.

"I still stand by my previous opinion. Any issues can be addressed in future work," Mike said conservatively.

“I agree with Mike,” Peggy immediately chimed in.

The score is 2 to 1, the result is already obvious.

“Very good, then let’s decide on this for now.” Professor John smiled and handed a stack of documents to Mike, which were all the materials that Mike’s group would need later.

In fact, Professor John values ​​Mike, the one who proposed the multi-stage progression theory, more than Sheldon.

Afterwards, Mike, carrying the documents, led Peggy and Sheldon to the three's research location.

It is a workstation with a computer and a propulsion device model.

It is worth mentioning that, for this research project, Professor John and his colleague applied to the university for a very large research lab, which looked like a large single-level apartment.

The large single-level apartment is further divided into several areas according to different needs.

The place where Mike and his two companions are currently located is considered the core area, a comfortable location with a wide view.

"Why?" Sheldon was still sullen after arriving at his workstation.

“There’s no why,” Mike said, shaking his head. “If you can prove your abilities in research, you’ll eventually get a larger share of scientific work.”

“I will prove myself.” Young Sheldon was clearly a little unwilling to admit defeat, and then he started flipping through the research materials.
