"…"
At this mont, the ellipsis perfectly described Hank's mood, especially upon hearing Jean's words "I'll learn whatever Yu learns." He couldn't help but feel a mix of laughter and tears. Hey, can't girls be a bit more reserved? Being such a little tag-along to Yu, I can't bear to watch it anymore!
Yu Feng, on the other hand, remained calm.
When Jean said that, he wasn't surprised at all. It wasn't just because Jean liked him, but because Jean was also a top student. To so extent, she had the intention to compete with him.
Girls and boys naturally have a competitive nature!
Yu Feng's main concern was Hank's thoughts. After all, it was clear from earlier that Hank wanted him to specialize in design and manufacturing while guiding Jean in the study of genetics and genealogy. These two major categories encompassed nurous scientific fields, and it wouldn't be easy to learn, let alone master them even after ten years of research.
However, Hank never expected that Yu, this kid, would still not be satisfied.
As for Jean… she was simply a little tag-along to Yu, and Hank could choose to ignore what she had just said.
"Yu, are you sure you want to study both?" Hank didn't imdiately reject the idea. He recalled the excitent in Yu's eyes when Professor X asked him to graduate early and beco his research assistant. Hank also knew about Yu's "mutant ability" and his speed of morization and learning, considering how Yu went to the library every day and read books at an exaggerated speed. It was too obvious.
However, the seemingly simple research projects of design and manufacturing and genetic and genealogy contained complex content that couldn't be mastered solely through speed morization and learning.
Because these two types of research required not only solid and extensive knowledge in biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, chanics, dicine, engineering, and more but also experintation!
A significant amount of experintation!
"Professor Hank, didn't you say that choosing is our freedom?" Yu Feng smiled confidently, "I think it's a waste of our talents to choose only one. Why not let both Jean and choose? Who knows, we might surprise you?"
"Yes, Professor Hank, don't underestimate us!" Jean chid in, even using an analogy from the Summoner's Rift, "Yu and I are the golden duo in the bot lane. As Yu said, it would be a waste of our talents to choose only one!"
"Um…" Watching the two of them exchange words, Hank opened his mouth, feeling sowhat speechless.
You two mischievous kids, you're not even grown up yet, but you're already like a married couple, responding to each other. Truly unbelievable.
Finally, with a helpless smile, he said, "Well, you two have defeated ! But let make it clear here, if you find it tough and exhausting later on, there's no room for regrets! After all, studying and researching both major categories simultaneously will require far more than double the ti for you!"
"Don't worry, Professor Hank, we won't regret it," Yu Feng assured him.
Of course, Yu Feng wouldn't regret it.
However, Hank's words were correct. Studying both design and manufacturing and genetics and genealogy would indeed require far more than double the ti.
But it was worth it!
After all, Hank wasn't like those teachers who only taught boring courses. Hank was a true top scientist, one of the smartest people on Earth! With his personal guidance, what they would learn was genuinely useful. Spending a little more ti was absolutely worth it!
Since the research projects for the future were determined, Hank didn't waste much ti and imdiately began explaining the relevant knowledge about genetics and genealogy, as well as the images projected on the wall, to Yu and Jean.
"I've already told you the foundational knowledge required for studying genetic and genealogy, as well as the books you should read in detail," Hank said. At this mont, he was fully in the state of being a "teacher."
Yu Feng and Jean listened attentively with serious expressions.
They only had one hour fixed each day, and they were free to allocate the rest of their ti.
Want to play? Sure, they could!
Want to study? Also allowed!
Besides that one hour, Hank would be busy with his own affairs—improving the base, optimizing various facilities, and building fighter jets. He couldn't micromanage them.
"With your intelligence and learning speed, you're no less competent than so graduate students at universities. So, when it cos to self-study and reading, I have complete confidence in both of you," Hank said, fully aware of Yu Feng and Jean's learning abilities. In other schools, they can be considered prodigies.
However, self-studying basic knowledge wasn't the focus here with Hank. He paused briefly and then his expression beca slightly serious.
"Next, I want to talk to you about sothing very important regarding genetic and genealogy, especially in regards to the study of mutant genes," Hank said and specifically went into a separate control room inside the aircraft.
It's unclear what he did, but suddenly the entire place dimd, replacing the blue light with a dim atmosphere. But soon, lights illuminated again.
Yu Feng and Jean widened their eyes and looked. They saw that where the lights were shining, there seed to be a curtain, and on that curtain were projected fragnted and sowhat outdated images.
The images depicted individuals.
Dissected individuals who didn't look quite human, or rather… mutants! Each one even had accompanying written files!
