Chapter 480: The Life of an Astronomer

There are not many universities in China that offer astronomy majors at the undergraduate level.

For Mo Dao, the best choice is naturally Capital University.

The 2012 college entrance examination was held as scheduled and ended smoothly.

Naturally, there was no surprise. Mo Dao was admitted to Capital University's astronomy major with a perfect score of 675.

From the end of the college entrance examination to the beginning of university.

Mo Dao no longer made any convenient investments and arrangements like in his previous life.

First, for him in this life, he should relax.

It is said that I want to be an astronomer, but in fact, there is no specific goal that I must achieve.

The overall state of the person is a bit like that of his life as a philosophy professor. He is a bit lazy, has no strong purpose, and doesn't really want to do anything.

Second,

For him at this moment, it is not that important whether he does something in the early days of his life and uses this initial period of time.

If necessary, he can 'withdraw' a huge amount of money and resources from the world he lives in at any time in his entire life.

Without Mo Dao's interference,

In this life, Miss Qin Huaishi naturally still chose to study biology at Capital University.

It was my classmate in high school, Fu Hui.

Although I was very interested in the career of war correspondent before, I soon became more interested in other industries. In the end, I did not choose to study related majors.

…

When the admission notice comes out,

Teacher Xi, the head teacher in high school, was more surprised than Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi.

I called Mo Dao immediately.

Although I have some doubts about Mo Daohui choosing astronomy as a major,

But at the end of the call, as Mo Dao’s teacher, he sent his blessings to Mo Dao.

"I hope you can make great achievements in astronomy in the future. Teacher is here to congratulate you in advance."

"Thank you, teacher."

In his many lifetimes here, Mo Dao also had many teachers.

Teacher Xi in high school, Professor Hong in the field of physics and fusion, Professor Yang in the field of philosophy, Professor Wen in the field of mathematics,

There are also teachers who taught him how to fight and lead troops in military school, and there are quite a few people who have played similar teacher roles.

Because Teacher Xi was a teacher in high school, he can be regarded as a teacher who has been around for many generations.

…

Year 12, late August.

Capital University started school, and Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi got on the train to the capital together.

The two of them were sitting right next to each other.

Qin Huaishi rummaged through his bulging bag and wanted to get a pack of snacks for Mo Dao.

What is different from previous lives is that

When Qin Huaishi raised his head with the snacks, Mo Dao first took two packs of Qin Huaishi's favorite snacks from his bag and handed them over.

Visible to the naked eye, Miss Qin Huaishi was stunned for a moment.

"Eat?"

"Well, eat."

The girl Qin Huaishi nodded and put the two bags in her hand into Mo Dao's hand.

He took what Mo Dao was holding and tore it open.

The two of them were eating some snacks,

We didn't talk all the time. Many times we looked at the scenery passing by outside the train window.

These sights that can be seen can overlap with the sights that Mo Dao has seen in many lives.

However, enjoying the tranquility at this moment, Mo Dao still won't get bored of it.

In this life,

For Mo Dao, when it comes to goals,

The only thing I want to do is probably spend more time with Miss Qin Huaishi in this life.

Even though, in fact, the girl Qin Huaishi at this moment cannot be equated with the Huaishi who had spent a lifetime with him in the previous life.

…

The beginning of university, military training, and then formal classes.

In this life, Mo Dao did not do anything special.

Just like an ordinary student, living the college life that I have experienced many times.

Mo Dao, who once studied in the Department of Philosophy and the Department of Physics at Capital University and has held a professorship at Capital University for several generations, is already very familiar with it.

Astronomy major, a basic discipline classified under science,

It can be considered a relatively unpopular major, and it is not considered a strong major at Capital University.

In this year, there were not many students enrolled, only fifteen students at the same level and major.

It will be regarded as the same number as the number of teachers and professors.

In the end, after graduating from college, there are even fewer people who can still be engaged in related fields.

To Mo Dao, this didn't matter.

Although I have never focused on research and study in astronomy before,

But in fact, the basic knowledge related to astronomy is completely within the scope of knowledge that Mo Dao has mastered.

Perhaps there is still some gap between the understanding of astronomy in this era and those in charge of the interstellar exploration and development plan.

The Starship, which has been to the farthest area that humans have ever set foot on, actually did a lot of astronomical observations along the way.

However, Mo Dao did not skip this period of study and just spent these four years normally.

In four years,

In addition to normal university studies,

Maybe he was meeting up with Miss Qin Huaishi for a walk around.

These walking paths inside and outside the Capital University campus are already too familiar to Modao.

However, walking side by side with Miss Qin Huaishi was not that boring.

During the four years here, Mo Dao could also hear some words and things that Miss Qin Huaishi said in previous lives.

Some small things are accidental and do not necessarily occur in every life, but there are also some, such as learning problems in the study of Qin Huai's poems,

For Mo Dao, he had heard it many times and it was repeated.

But for Qin Huaishi in this life, this is still the first time she has said this to Mo Dao.

Mo Dao didn't mind and listened to Qin Huaishi say it again, repeating what he had said before.

While studying,

During the four-year winter and summer vacations, Mo Dao also went to some places with Qin Huaishi.

Mo Dao has visited some places many times.

But it doesn't matter,

For the two of them, where they go is not that important.

…

Four years passed like this.

16 years,

Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi finished their undergraduate studies at the same time.

Qin Huaishi, as always, was exempted from the postgraduate examination.

Mo Dao is the same here.

Although Mo Dao did not deliberately show off his knowledge,

But I’m too lazy to pretend not to know.

In addition, there are really few students in the entire major.

After four years, it was hard for professors majoring in astronomy not to notice this student Mo Dao.

In the eyes of the professor, Mo Dao was obviously extremely talented in the field of astronomy and even physics.

My knowledge seems to be bottomless.

Whenever you mention some questions, you seem to be able to get some answers here at Mo Dao.

final,

Four years later, Mo Dao began studying for a master's degree and a Ph.D. with Professor Yu, who majored in astronomy.

Mainly focusing on astrophysics.

…

Astronomy is mainly basic research in astrophysics and cosmology.

The former mainly studies the physical properties and operating rules of celestial bodies, etc., while the latter mainly studies the origin of the universe, cosmic phenomena, etc.

Strictly speaking, astral observation and cosmic observation can only be regarded as research methods.

A means of collecting research data for research work.

The astronomy major of Capital University and the Capital Observatory have some kind of cooperative relationship.

In the second half of the first year of his master's degree, Professor Yu took Mo Dao to the Capital Observatory and applied for the use of an optical astronomical telescope for a period of time.
