Tan Yan had no curiosity and was not good at socializing. After memorizing the names of a few roommates, he buried his head in preparing for class.
Among the basic courses, subjects like human anatomy and psychology were OK, as they did not require much basic knowledge from the students. As long as the students were willing to work hard and memorize, they would be fine. But he was dumbfounded by English, advanced mathematics, basic physics, theoretical mechanics, and basic computer knowledge and programming. When he opened the textbooks, they were full of incomprehensible words, and Tan Yan did not recognize any of the symbols flying around.
There was no time to communicate with new classmates, so Tan Yan quickly took out his mobile phone to send a message to Qiao Zhixue. Because it was inconvenient to send voice messages in the dormitory, and he was not familiar with the pinyin input method, he could only use handwriting input to write stroke by stroke.
Tan Yan: I don’t know how to take these courses: [picture][picture][picture][picture][picture][picture].
If he says he doesn't know, then he really doesn't know. He can't understand a single word.
Qiao Zhixue: Come to my place during your evening study time and I will give you extra lessons.
Tan Yan was relieved a little bit. He heard from the research team that although Comrade Xiao Qiao was only in his early thirties, he was already a doctoral supervisor. He was said to be a genius. He skipped a grade to go to college at the age of twelve, graduated with a doctorate at the age of twenty, and became interested in national defense science and technology at the age of twenty-four. He started from scratch and became the top of the industry in two or three years. He was specially recruited into the team by the National Technology Security Department.
Although he was not the leader of the "void" project, the main force was Qiao Zhixue. The existing knowledge reserve could not explain the "void" phenomenon, and bold and open-minded thinking was needed. Old professors tend to have limited thinking, but Qiao Zhixue, who has learned more diverse things, can think outside the box.
It was precisely because of his bold ideas that the research team was able to create an instrument to suppress the spread of voids.
Tan Yan felt relieved that Qiao Zhixue personally helped him with his lessons.
But the reality was that Qiao Zhixue put down his phone and immediately called several of Tan Yan's tutors to inquire about his progress. He was immediately overwhelmed when he heard that he had only reviewed junior high school math and his English could only reach the current high school entrance examination level.
"Why is he learning math so slowly? Doesn't he have a junior high school foundation?" Qiao Zhixue picked up the handouts that the teachers had prepared specifically for Tan Yan, "These questions..."
He began to try to recall how he had learned mathematics in the past. It seemed that when he was in the second grade of elementary school, he borrowed all the textbooks of his elder brother who was already in high school, read them once, and then went straight to take the high school entrance examination...
"Huh? Do I need to be taught these things? Shouldn't I be able to learn them after just reading them once?" Qiao Zhixue flipped through the lecture notes, totally unable to understand what Tan Yan didn't understand.
The more talented they are, the worse they are at teaching. They will never understand the troubles of ordinary people, so where should they start to teach
Tan Yan, like he did in the Public Security Administration, made his bed, greeted every student, and then concentrated on preparing for his lessons. He would write down what he didn't understand, and prepare more for what he did understand, and recite diligently, so that he could save time to study the subjects he was not good at.
Tan Yan is an orphan. After he went to junior high school with the help of the state, he had no money to continue his studies. He was alone, without parents who wanted him to be successful, and no pressure to study. Since he had no money, he chose another way out.
Although he only has a junior high school education, it does not mean that Tan Yan cannot learn. His brain, like his body, always maintains the youngest state. After two months of intensive study, he has mastered a learning method that suits him.
He was concentrating on studying, and the other five roommates who were very curious about the transfer students seemed to be preparing for their lessons as well, but in fact they had already started chatting in the group.
Five stars: The new classmate looks so young. I sat next to him. Did you see his fingers? There was not even a callus. His skin was so tender that it seemed that water would come out if you pinched it. He looked like a young master from a rich family.
Military posture is not standard: Why does the young master from a rich family come to our class? Are you looking for trouble
Looking forward to flying a plane: I can't do it, he looks too tender, you guys say I can poke his face with my fingers? But I'm afraid of poking his skin!
You mortals: Are you really looking forward to flying a plane? Take a look at the "Human Anatomy" right under your nose and learn it carefully to see if you can figure it out!
Righteous and awe-inspiring: Don't make assumptions. It takes time to understand a person. Only when you have a deeper understanding of him can you have a more specific impression. I think Tan Yan is a person with strong execution ability and a strong sense of progress. You can see that he has written half a notebook on ideological and political education.
The military posture is not standard: upright and dignified. Squad leader, please stop making trouble. He is frantically reciting the subjects for the open-book exam.
Five stars: I care about him because he looks good enough to be a star. None of the popular young actors nowadays look as good as him.
I am really looking forward to flying a plane: Those guys look effeminate, so only young girls like them. Old men who are not gay would not like them. Although the new classmate is young, he is not effeminate and is quite sunny.
Is the military posture standard? Come on, it's been such a long time since he came in, and apart from answering a few questions from the squad leader and saying his name, he didn't say the rest of the sentence. I almost suspected that he had autism. What's so sunny
You Mortals: His Mandarin is OK, but it seems that he has a recently corrected accent. He doesn't speak because he is afraid of exposing his accent. I just recorded his speech and compared it with the software. I preliminarily determined that he lives in the Northeast, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, and Shandong.
Five stars: What kind of software is so amazing
The standard of military posture: It must be written by our great god himself.
You mortals: I have checked these provinces and cities, and there are 1,378 people with the same name, including 213 people between the ages of 16 and 20. Wait a minute, I am still narrowing the scope further.
Zhengqilinran: How many provinces and cities have you looked up the names of? Is the Internet so developed now
Five stars: Have you hacked into the national household registration system again? What did I just tell you?!
You mortals: No, I hacked into the Ministry of Railways. Their broken system is like a sieve, easier to get into than the public security system.
With great righteousness: That won’t do either. If you do this again, I will confiscate your computer!
You mortals: Wait a minute. Hmm? His ID number is not recorded on the Ministry of Railways' network? How could someone of this age never have taken a train? Emmmm... Let me check the household registration system again.
"Cui Heyu!" Qiu Qi slammed the table and stood up, shocking everyone. Only Tan Yan was still concentrating on writing his ideological and political notes, fully focused and not affected by them at all.
Cui Heyu quickly closed several open interfaces and smiled at Qiu Qizheng: "Class monitor, I have an Internet monitoring license issued by the public security department. If you want to confiscate my computer, you must find solid evidence and report to your superiors. You can only confiscate it after the school and the Ministry of Public Security have reached an agreement. My computer is right here, you can check it at will. If you find any trace, I will lose."
Qiu Qizhen had no way to deal with Cui Heyu. This kid, nicknamed Cui Dadan, had been noisy since he was young. He had not been disciplined for so many years. When he got interested, he wanted to poke a hole in the sky. When he was carrying out a mission a year ago, he took an unconventional approach, disobeyed orders, and changed his plan at the last minute. Although he successfully completed the mission in the end, he was punished for disobeying orders. Even so, he still did his own thing and had no intention of changing.
Cui Heyu is not only smart, but also good at everything. He also has excellent physical fitness. He is simply an all-rounder, and he is better than his peers in every aspect. It is precisely this extraordinary talent that makes him unyielding. His principle of action is "I am the boss, God is the second", and he is so arrogant. It is unknown what kind of superior will control such a person in the future.
Anyway, Qiu Qizhen has never been able to do anything to Cui Heyu.
Although there was a lot of noise here, Tan Yan was unmoved and didn't even glance at Cui Heyu.
Cui Heyu was always arrogant, and was still very interested in Tan Yan, who had joined the class, and was trying to find out his identity. However, this person who had attracted all his attention did not notice him at all.
The little genius who was always the center of the crowd was a little dissatisfied. He took the initiative to walk in front of Tan Yan and slapped his textbook with his palm: "Are you stupid? Is it worth wasting time on an open-book exam?"
Covering the book with his palm, Tan Yan looked up at Cui Heyu and said calmly, "Since this course can be arranged and made a compulsory course for all college students, then it is worth our serious study."
"Huh? Existence is truth? Forget it. Subjects like Ideological and Political Theory and Marxism-Leninism are all political tasks, just things on the surface." Cui Heyu shook his head. "The school doesn't take it seriously, so why are you so serious about it?"
Tan Yan was not angry because of Cui Heyu's attitude. In his eyes, they were just children throwing tantrums.
Tan Yan focused on reading the ideological and political textbook after previewing the first chapter of all courses because he felt that these ideological and political courses were to help students correct their attitudes, and as basic textbooks, they should be the top priority. He could not say that it was more important than ability and morality, after all, a person with good morality but mediocre qualifications would not make much contribution to the country. But he had been in the industry for so many years, and the threat to the safety of life and property of the people and the country by criminals with high IQ far exceeded that of ordinary criminals.
"I want to learn." He did not argue with Cui Heyu, but simply answered. There is no truth that is more important than subjective motivation. Just one sentence can shatter all the reasons Cui Heyu prepared.
"you… "
Cui Heyu was about to say something when Tan Yan's cell phone rang. It was a special cell phone given to him by the Technical Security Department, which was more confidential than the cells of his classmates.
He picked up the phone immediately, and Qiao Zhixue's voice was urgent: "There is a hole in Ping County, the equipment has been turned on, and a car will come to pick you up soon. We will set off immediately!"
"good!"
Tan Yan immediately put on his shoes and walked out the door. Qiu Qizheng frowned and said, "It's already 10 o'clock in the evening. Curfew is about to start. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony and military training. Where are you going?"
"Someone will ask for leave for me."
Tan Yan hurriedly left after saying something.
After he left, the dormitory became very quiet. After a long time, Qin Li, who had a loud voice, broke the silence: "He is going to stay out all night. Is the management of our school so lax?"
"It's a completely closed management system, the same as the military." Yan Yongfeng said lazily, "It's even stricter than when we were in high school."
"Then how does he get out?" Ke Hao asked.
Qiu Qizheng glanced at the information on his phone and said to his roommates, "Counselor Qiao sent a message saying that Tan Yan's going out tonight is confidential. Someone will come to ask us to sign a confidentiality agreement soon. Tan Yan will go out at night at irregular intervals in the future and will be back the next afternoon at the latest. We are not allowed to tell anyone about this."
"Since he has to go out frequently, why does he still live in a dormitory? Who is he?" Ke Hao was puzzled.
"Since it is a secret, the organization has no obligation to explain it to us." Qiu Qizheng said, "Don't listen, don't watch, don't be curious, just carry out the mission."
"Yes!" Qin Li, Yan Yongfeng and Ke Hao answered in unison.
"What about you?" Qiu Qizheng looked at Cui Heyu, "This is an order."
"Heh," Cui Heyu flipped through his phone, "Did you notice the phone he used just now? Remember what we learned in the intelligence class? What's the security level of that phone?"
Yan Yongfeng thought about it carefully and said in surprise: "Special grade? It's the same level as a giant panda!"
"With the technology I have now, it will take at least a year to crack that phone. There are nine layers of protection just to turn it on, and there are countless encrypted hidden files inside. The phone alone must have cost tens of millions. And the shoes he was wearing just now were low-quality counterfeits, costing only a few dozen yuan a pair. This person is so contradictory." Cui Heyu touched his chin, staring at the pen that Tan Yan placed on the table.
"You are not allowed to collect his fingerprints, blood, hair or any other personal information," Qiu Qizheng held Cui Heyu down, "If you are punished again, you will be fired."
"Just expel me. It's not like I wanted to go to this school. My family forced me to do so." Cui Heyu didn't care.
All the roommates knew that Cui Heyu's family had a background, but because it was confidential, no one knew the identities of his parents. They also remembered that Cui Heyu was tied up to go to school in elementary school, and he was a transfer student in Tan Yan's class.
"Qin Li, lock his computer in your box; Yong Feng, clean up the room and erase all traces left by Tan Yan. Don't let Cui Heyu collect information; Ke Hao, keep an eye on him." Seeing that no one would listen to his advice, Qiu Qizhen took tough measures.
Cui Heyu didn't care. There was still a lot of time to live, and he would definitely find a way to find out Tan Yan's identity.
Soon, several people came to their dormitory to sign a confidentiality agreement. After Cui and Yu carefully read the terms of the agreement, they signed obediently.
Tan Yan did not return to the dormitory that night, but when the group gathered the next morning, he was already standing downstairs of the dormitory building, wearing the newly issued training uniform, and looked like he had just walked out of the dormitory.
Several roommates looked at each other and suppressed their doubts in their hearts.
