Chapter 2399: Lecturer Tuto's Support

The test results meeting expectations does not mean the end of the entire project; it can only be considered the end of the first phase. Afterward, it still needs to be further refined, and even a universal conversion method for Mythallars with Material Nodes must be found.

Or rather, this project only officially begins from this point on. After all, previously it was just Xia Duo finding a way to bring over the Floating City Mythallar from the Main Plane, with only slight modifications.

In the days that followed, besides normally keeping up with the progress of the Class 4 professional courses and working with classmates on the Mythallar project with Material Nodes, Xia Duo spent most of his remaining time soaking in the Library.

Right now, he is already considered a "guaranteed" Researcher, which gives him enough time to enrich himself; it would be a waste not to use the boosted state of the Spirit Thought Network.

Of course, this is the public explanation; his true purpose is actually to consciously collect advanced technologies and theories from various fields, making it convenient to bring them back to the Main Plane later and continue to carry them forward.

His Trace Memory ability has become his greatest asset at this time. If it were someone else, they might only be able to rote memorize an extremely small part of the vast ocean of Knowledge, but as long as he has seen it, he can trace the memory of that moment at any time later, without needing to repeatedly read or memorize, saving a massive amount of time.

At the same time, the rich collection in the Chixin University Library has greatly facilitated his actions. Unfortunately, the timeliness of most technical books is not very good, and even in terms of theory, only the latest research results from Chixin University Researchers can be sent to the Library for archiving in the first instance.

Records of the latest research results from other colleges and research institutions are very scarce; some are just papers and treatises with poor timeliness.

However, as long as he obtains the Advanced Permission Level for the Alliance Mishuo, he will have a great chance of obtaining all the Wisdom achievements of the Red Heart Alliance over the past fifteen hundred years.

……

This morning, after Lecturer Tuto finished his class, he did not leave as usual, but called Xia Duo to the side, then took a thick, paperback book from his Storage Ring and handed it to Xia Duo:

"Take a look, it might be helpful for your project."

"This—"

Xia Duo took the book and saw the cover was actually—"Material Node Design for Basic Equation Mythallars." After roughly flipping through the table of contents, he discovered that people had begun researching modern Mythallars with Material Nodes a long time ago.

It was just that they hadn't gone very deep, but being able to carry out modification designs with Material Nodes for Basic Equation Mythallars was enough to show the other party's profound attainments in this field.

"Lecturer Tuto, this book—"

"I asked a friend to find it from Eilintar University. It's just a pity that this field is too niche, and there isn't much relevant research data. Many are researched privately by the researchers themselves, which also makes much of the content in this area repetitive. Among them, the most comprehensive one is the research result of Professor Weiya."

Lecturer Tuto briefly introduced the source of this book. "Professor" is a rank title in the Production Sequence college system, similar to a Researcher in the Research Sequence.

Lecturer Tuto is a "Professor."

It's just that they only do some research they like outside of their normal teaching duties, unlike Researchers, whose main job is to conduct research.

Comparing the two, perhaps the former's intentions are purer. After all, if the latter's main job is research, they certainly cannot lead their own research direction from the beginning and will always encounter projects they are not that interested in but still have to do.

Even if they can lead, they will be influenced by various factors and cannot freely choose the fields they are interested in to conduct research.

If Xia Duo were to choose, he would most likely choose to stay at the school to teach and then set up a personal Laboratory to research whatever he wanted. It's just that staying at the school would also face funding problems; if the things he researched were too outrageous, he would only be able to pay for them himself, but generally speaking, it is still freer than the Research Sequence.

As for Professor Weiya, this was actually not the first time Xia Duo had heard this name. During this time, he had seen Professor Weiya's treatises in the Library. The other party involved themselves in many fields, but only entered them shallowly and did not go deep.

Perhaps it was because teaching duties were heavy and interests could only be spread shallowly, or perhaps there were too many interests and there was simply no time to go deep into all of them. If it were the latter, that would be too enviable.

At the time, he didn't really pay much attention when he saw that name, because the situation of professors publishing books in the Library was truly too common. He didn't expect to hear the other party's name again now.

"Thank you, Lecturer Tuto. By the way, does Professor Weiya have any other treatises in this area?"

This point is what Xia Duo is more concerned about. Although he can go to Eilintar University to read books, he cannot borrow them, and going there to look for them is ultimately not as convenient as being a student or teacher of that school.

It would be best if they could be borrowed or purchased individually. After all, he is a team now; he cannot just finish reading them himself, he also needs to let other members of the team refer to them.

But unfortunately, the answer given by Lecturer Tuto was—

"No more. Professor Weiya only has this one treatise related to Mythallar Material Nodes. However, I have already asked other friends and classmates to search in major colleges. I believe news will come soon."

If he only heard the first half, Xia Duo still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but hearing the second half, he couldn't describe it as just a pleasant surprise; he didn't expect it to be waiting for him here!

"Lecturer Tuto, wouldn't this be too much trouble?"

"What trouble is there in this? As your lecturer, I have an obligation to know about your independent projects. Now that I don't have much research in this area, I can only go to other schools to help you check for information."

Hearing this, Xia Duo was even more moved. It's not that Lecturer Tuto doesn't have any insights or guidance ability in this field just because he doesn't engage in research on Mythallar Material Nodes. In fact, how could someone who can be a professional course lecturer be so poor!

To a certain extent, the teachers at major colleges are the essence of researchers. After all, wanting to stay at the school at least requires the strength of a Researcher.

Although from the perspective of Sequence Points and rank levels, Researcher = Professor, the strength is not necessarily the same. The research ability of a Primary Researcher is actually equivalent to a "Lecturer" in the college system.

As for the further Professor rank, although it largely depends on teaching experience and teaching achievements, there are also research indicators. Furthermore, if one is not good at research, not good at learning, and not good at teaching, then on what basis can one guide students in the professional course stage?

Although Lecturer Tuto only gives one class a week, this is a formal course. When students have questions, they can ask the lecturer at any time. In addition, there is practical guidance for extended exercises outside of the formal course.

The practice base is of course not for the class to play around in, but a very important teaching facility. For a major like Myth Lock Design that is more inclined toward practical operation, it is even more necessary to have the guidance of a qualified lecturer.

Although the Mythallar Material Node project Xia Duo is currently doing is privately funded, apart from that, it is completely indistinguishable from projects applying for funds from the college, including but not limited to the use of school facilities, guidance from the lecturer, and higher Research Sequence Points gains.
