Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi
Chapter 420 - 306: Metal Skeleton
In fact, these experimental instruments were chosen by Wang Ye only after he had a general understanding of the relevant industry fields,
If he had no understanding of these fields at all, he probably wouldn’t even be able to name these instruments, let alone understand their functions.
But obviously,
his understanding of these things is still not deep enough.
The scientific development on Earth up till now, although still not considered advanced, is filled with knowledge that can be described as boundless. If an ordinary person wanted to memorize all this scientific knowledge, it would take at least tens of thousands of years.
Even for Wang Ye, trying to learn it all with the help of the system is not an easy task.
One must understand that science does not develop along a single path, but in multiple directions spreading far and wide, with numerous subdivisions. If all the disciplines mastered by humans today were compared to a circle, the inside of the circle represents the knowledge humans have mastered, and the outside is the knowledge yet to be mastered, which is a vast darkness. If a scientist were to make a breakthrough in a certain field, creating a groundbreaking theory that improves the quality of life for all humanity, this so-called "knowledge circle" does not expand as a whole, but rather pokes a tiny, indiscernible pixel-sized portion outward.
This is what is called a specialized field. For an ordinary person to reach the pinnacle of a highly specialized field requires a lifetime of effort and dedication, and without enough talent, one might not even reach the top. These specialized fields have been numerous throughout human history, and even a single breakthrough in one specialized field seems insignificant overall. If a specialized field takes a century of effort to complete, then completing all these countless specialized fields would take millions or even tens of millions of years.
Wang Ye now breaking world records seems so impressive, so reaching the highest level, but in reality, it’s only in the specialized field of "Sports Sciences - Physical Dominance - Speed Type - Physical Endurance - Athletics - Track Events - Long Distance Running - Marathon" that he has reached the peak.
For Wang Ye, it’s easy, having taken only half a year, but for ordinary people, ten lifetimes would not suffice.
Thus, Wang Ye believes that the most powerful aspect of the system is not in enhancing a single specialized field, but in upgrading all the specialized fields within a discipline together.
For example, when he enhances his cycling skill through cycling, it does not only enhance cycling experience, but also the skill levels and knowledge of motorcycles, motor vehicles, and even horseback riding. Running is the same, even though Wang Ye has primarily been training in long distance running. Yet the skills for sprinting, obstacle running, and parkour have not been neglected.
Similarly, if Wang Ye can unlock skills like physics and chemistry, he could relentlessly accumulate experience points to become the most versatile scientist in the world.
But currently Wang Ye is a bit troubled, not knowing where to start, as over ninety percent of the skills on his panel are sports related, and he doesn’t know how to enter academic skills onto the panel.
He tried learning basic sciences online, but after two hours, the panel still showed no response,
so he had to temporarily give up and practiced Bone Shrinking Skill in the villa for a while,
until evening approached, then he left the villa and returned home.
By then, his mother had already prepared the meals and placed them on the table,
waiting for Wang Ye to come home and eat.
Seeing Wang Ye open the door and change into slippers,
his mother smiled and said,
"Xiao Ye, come and eat." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"Mm, coming."
Sitting at the table, Wang Ye picked up some food with his chopsticks and asked, "Didn’t you and Dad like any of the houses you’ve seen in the past few days? How about I take you to see a few more in the morning?"
His mother hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I think the community we saw yesterday was nice, but the decor was too white, making it hard to clean."
Wang Ye shook his head and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll hire a maid for cleaning. Your knees are not suitable for doing housework for long periods."
"A maid..." His mother seemed to want to say something, evidently not used to the idea of hiring a maid. For the older generation, most physical tasks they can complete themselves, they definitely would not hire someone else to do. They would rather sacrifice their precious health and energy on meaningless physical work than spend a small amount of money to hire someone to do it. There are even stories online of junior managers with million-dollar salaries being asked by their elders to take leave to do farm work, where the salary lost during those days off was already hundreds of times more than hiring someone to do the farm work.
Wang Ye sighed and said, "If we really can’t decide, I’ll just arrange it for you. The sooner we move, the sooner we’ll be at ease."
He knew that his time in his hometown was limited and needed to quickly arrange for his parents to move home,
as having him around would make it easier for his parents to move.
Moreover, the old building they currently live in is rather decrepit, with cracks everywhere inside and outside, making Wang Ye a bit apprehensive.
So it’s better to choose a new place to move to as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, his mother sighed with relief, "Alright... we’ll see what you arrange for tomorrow. Your father and I really are a bit overwhelmed, not knowing which to choose. You’ve seen more now, and I trust your choice."
