Chapter 774: Chapter 772: Back to the Past
“Ah, done, thank you,” Jiang Changhai said after signing for the delivery, cradling the hefty box in his arms, and recalling that his daughter had indeed mentioned a few days earlier that Elder Yu had promised to find her some books.
He carried the box back into the room and the moment he entered, he called out loudly, “Daughter, the books Elder Yu sent for you have arrived.”
Jiang Mianmian ran out excitedly. She saw a big box of books and after a brief glance, she confirmed that they were indeed highly specialized academic books, easily a hundred times better than the ones she purchased from the city library.
“That’s great, Grandpa Yu is so kind and efficient, finding me so many books. I’m going to give Grandpa Yu a call to thank him,” said Jiang Mianmian, and with a bounce in her step, she scampered off to make the call.
It was the weekend, and Elder Yu was not at the headquarters. He was sitting on the sofa, reading the newspaper.
The phone rang and he picked it up right away.
Jiang Mianmian heard Elder Yu’s voice and joyfully said, “Grandpa Yu, I’ve received the books you sent me, I’m so grateful to you, these books are really useful to me.”
Listening to Jiang Mianmian’s vibrant voice, Elder Yu chuckled affectionately, “Xiao Mianmian, there’s no need to thank Grandpa Yu. What you’re doing is contributing to our country. Go ahead and start with these materials, and if you need other materials or resources, just call Grandpa Yu again and I’ll have someone find them for you. But you’re still young. While researching, don’t fall behind in your studies and don’t feel pressured. Take it slowly; the heavy responsibilities of the nation don’t yet need to be carried by a child like you.”
“Yes, I understand, Grandpa Yu, don’t worry, I definitely won’t neglect my education,” Jiang Mianmian promised earnestly.
“That’s good to hear, Grandpa Yu knows you’re the most sensible child. Remember to balance work and rest and come visit Capital City during the holidays,” Elder Yu said cheerfully.
“Yes, of course, Grandpa Yu.”
The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Mianmian, not wanting to take up too much of Elder Yu’s time, didn’t prolong the conversation.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mianmian looked down at a box full of books on the floor, feeling extremely satisfied. She now possessed all the qualities of an academic overachiever, delighting at the sight of books.
Jiang Mianmian treasured the books, placing them in her room with great care. That evening, she took out the books sent by Elder Yu for a closer look and also reviewed the information the system had sourced for her.
Compared to what she found, the available resources in Hua Country were indeed sparse and the content was far from comprehensive.
Many books would only mention things in passing, a phrase here and there, no wonder Hua Country couldn’t develop these technologies.
The system, however, provided her with comprehensive materials, which were also well-staged, making them perfect for a beginner in the field like her.
So, every day after school, once she finished her homework, the first thing she did was delve into the system to study solar energy knowledge.
However, solar energy technology was a completely new field for her, one that she had never touched upon, even in her previous life.
Moreover, these resources were filled with specialized terms that required a strong professional knowledge to understand.
After several days, Jiang Mianmian felt dizzy and confused, as if she had gone back to her days as a poor student when her efficiency was particularly low.
Deciding she couldn’t waste any more time, she steeled herself and used up all 25 saved intelligence points. After adding the intelligence points,
her average intelligence score rose to 161, placing her at a medium level for a low-grade genius.
