Deep Space Wandering Fleet-Chapter 39 - : What are you writing!

Chapter 39: Chapter 39: What are you writing!

Editor: Henyee Translations

When Wang Lili caught a glimpse of this paper for the first time, she was ecstatic.

The world is so small!

Could it be someone with the same name? “Zhang Yuan” is such a common name, you could find ten thousand of them in the whole Xia Country!

“It probably isn’t someone with the same name. A few days ago, I think I heard he was writing some kind of kinematics paper…”

“Haha, Horses’ Fortune, you’ve fallen into my hands!”

...

The more Wang Lili thought about it, the more excited she became. When she recalled how her intelligence had been severely insulted that afternoon and how she couldn’t find a way to save face, she held a grudge in her heart.

“Little Horses’ Fortune, what good can come from your paper?”

“I must completely refute it, then criticize it until it’s worthless, making the boss give you a good scolding!”

Thinking of this, she quickly told her boyfriend, “Sorry, I have something to do.”

“Huh? What!” The poor guy, after much effort, finally got his beloved girl to go out and planned to get into a little mischief.

But then this happened.

“The teacher sent over an assignment. No choice, I have to look at the paper first.”

Yet he couldn’t complain…

“Then I’ll ask you out again tomorrow…”

“Alright, let’s see if I have time tomorrow.”

And just like that, Wang Lili abandoned her boyfriend and enthusiastically threw herself into the “revolutionary work” of reading the paper.

…

Two hours later, she sat dazed in front of her computer.

“The writing is really longwinded, constantly rambling to increase length?”

“This point does have some substance.”

Huh? What’s this?

Hmm… Let me think.

Maybe I need to look through some other papers.

Gradually, her face flushed.

Her whole body experienced a strange sensation of dizziness, and the dense text seemed like a heavenly book, so much so that later on, she had no idea what was being said.

Read it again!

Still no good…

Read it again!

Wang Lili felt her thoughts were so clogged, she was nearly suffocating.

So frustrating!

I actually couldn’t understand it!

…

After Zhang Yuan and Han Ziyue finished dinner, they also strolled around the pedestrian street near the campus for a while. They didn’t buy anything, as for women, shopping and buying things are actually two separate matters…

Then, bypassing the dormitory supervisor’s gaze, they went to her dorm room to “fix her computer.”

The computer wasn’t really broken; it just ran slowly due to aging parts.

Zhang Yuan, of course, couldn’t solve such a world-level problem; he just pretended to take apart the computer, cleaned out some dust, and deleted a bunch of junk software.

He also got a wave of attention from the girls, with all sorts of singing and dancing, and the random questions made Zhang Yuan quite uncomfortable.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have come.

“You look familiar. Have I seen you somewhere?”

“You were just on a live stream.”

“Is he your new boyfriend?”

Han Ziyue replied, “No, no, he’s my sister’s ex-boyfriend. He’s an astronaut, the kind who’s about to go to space.”

“Haha, that relationship seems quite strange.”

“…Doesn’t every astronaut know how to fix things? If a computer chip really breaks, how should it be fixed? I heard that spaceship is going to fly for three thousand years.”

Zhang Yuan patiently explained, “The main chips on the spaceship are very traditional military silicon-based chips, low frequency, micron-level. The simpler and cruder something is, the less likely it is to break. Of course, the performance isn’t that great, and they’ll carry a lot of spare replacements to just swap in when one breaks.”

“If it’s electronic equipment we bring ourselves, if it breaks, then it just stays broken, as it can’t be fixed.”

“Oh, that’s so tragic; we better hope our phones don’t break!”

The girls couldn’t imagine a miserable life without phones.

Watching them chat, Han Ziyue just laughed on the side, her face slightly flushed.

Zhang Yuan knew what the girl was thinking.

Girls always have a bit of vanity. Zhang Yuan was now a minor celebrity too, and bringing him back to the dorm to show off certainly greatly satisfied her “vanity.”

Such things were all normal, as long as they didn’t go too far.

Actually, he also had a bit of vanity himself; who doesn’t like being praised?

In short, it was certainly a very comfortable day; he didn’t use his brain, didn’t study, and even enjoyed a wave of unprecedented adoration, basking in glory.

Returning to his dorm, Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt.

Such decadence!

“If Ye Kaifu were still here, I might get mocked harshly!”

He thought to himself, “Anyway, I, Zhang Yuan, won’t be a backup plan or a sycophant. In five days, I’ll be aboard the spaceship and leaving, so how could I be afraid of you girls? If you ask me out tomorrow, I won’t go; I’ll just stay in the dorm and study.”

Yes, that’s the way.

After reading for a while and studying for a bit, he then went to bed.

He had a great habit of resting before midnight every night and then waking up at 7 AM sharp the next day.

“I wonder if Professor Wang has looked at my draft?”

Groggily, he closed his eyes.

He was sleeping soundly when suddenly, his phone rang.

Ding-a-ling!

Zhang Yuan woke with a start, looked at the time, and angrily asked, “Sister Wang Lili, what are you doing? Do you know it’s 2 AM… you also have a boyfriend, can’t you not disturb me in the middle of the night?”

Wang Lili stuck out her tongue and asked apologetically, “I have a question, do you have any recommended books for geometry group theory and topology?”

She couldn’t understand.

She really couldn’t understand Zhang Yuan’s paper.

She had studied group theory and topology, but combining the two fields of mathematics and utilizing some of the deep knowledge in them, she just couldn’t grasp it.

Both are profound areas of mathematics, and even if you study them a lifetime, you may not thoroughly master them.

She asked a few good friends, but they couldn’t understand either.

She even asked a few doctoral senior students, still remaining in that foggy, in-between state of understanding and not understanding. But everyone said it was a very innovative article, needing to be studied well.

She couldn’t even understand it, so how could she edit the paper!

She might even get criticized by the boss!

At the thought of the boss’s fretting, sighing, looking at her like a fool, she became very anxious.

So, she could only take this roundabout way of saving herself. What books Zhang Yuan had read, she would read too. That way, she’d surely understand his paper.

“I’m such a genius! Coming up with this scheme.”

“He mustn’t find out that I’m modifying his paper and can’t even understand it; otherwise, he’ll laugh at me so cruelly, trampling me…”

But in the next second, Wang Lili was disheartened.

She heard Zhang Yuan say, “You want to study group theory and topology, huh? These are two different branches of mathematics, and there actually isn’t a particularly comprehensive textbook that explains their connection.”

“Then quickly introduce them.”

Wang Lili almost blurted out her true intention.

“Oh… A topology on a group, forming a topological group. A group with a topology, or a topological space with a group structure, where the focus is that the group operation must be continuous. An important subclass in topological groups is the so-called Lie Group, and within it is another important subclass called typical groups (Matrix Groups), for instance, those you might encounter in linear algebra, like GL(n), O(n), U(n), etc., all belong to this category…”

“If you want to learn completely, there are five books I can recommend to you, and these documents can also be referenced…”

Five books, how long will it take me to finish them?!

I have to hand it over tomorrow!

Wang Lili almost fainted.
