JFWCM Chapter 46

Prelude to Returning to School

As the end of the holiday quietly approached, the excitement and tranquility of the interstellar space intertwined. Yi Shang, Jiang Wan’yuan, Jichuan, and Zhang Yao were all busily preparing for their return to school, each carrying the abundant gains and growth from the holiday.

In her study, Yi Shang was surrounded by complex interstellar energy formulas and charts projected onto the walls. She was focused on organizing research data on a new type of interstellar energy shield, meticulously sorting and backing up every piece of data and every experimental result. Jiang Wan’yuan, like a cheerful little bird, flitted around Yi Shang, helping to classify and arrange the data.

“Yi Shang, do you think it will cause a sensation if we show everyone this energy shield when we get back to school?” Jiang Wan’yuan’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Yi Shang stopped what she was doing, looked up at Jiang Wan’yuan, and her lips unconsciously curved upward, her eyes filled with tenderness: “Of course it will, after all, this is the crystallization of our hard work during the holiday. However, we still need to be fully prepared to deal with the various questions that people may raise.” As she spoke, she gently touched Jiang Wan’yuan’s head.

Jiang Wan’yuan smiled and nodded, then picked up another piece of data and asked seriously: “Should we double-check the data in this section? I always feel that we have to be foolproof.”

Yi Shang replied with a smile, “Okay, let’s check it again together. Your attention to detail is very important, Wan’yuan.”

On the other side, Zhang Yao was busy in her vibrant interstellar ecological laboratory. Various strange plants emitted a soft glow in the culture tanks. These were the results of her holiday research—a series of interstellar plants with special purification abilities that could effectively decompose harmful substances in the interstellar environment. She carefully recorded the growth data of each plant, preparing to take this information back to school and share it with her classmates.

“If these plants can be widely used, it will be a great help to improve the environment of the interstellar base,” Zhang Yao muttered to herself while recording, her eyes full of anticipation for the future.

Jichuan was in his technical workshop, surrounded by various advanced instruments and flashing circuit boards. He was concentrating on the final debugging of a newly developed interstellar navigation positioning aid system. This system used the latest quantum positioning technology to provide more precise positioning information in complex interstellar environments.

“If I optimize the algorithm a bit more, the positioning error can be even smaller,” Jichuan stared intently at the screen, his fingers rapidly tapping code on the console.

As for Sun Yu, he was nestled in his cozy little room, repeatedly revising his comedy script on the holographic screen. The script was based on everyone’s experiences during the holiday, incorporating various interesting plots and hilarious dialogues. At times, he would read the lines himself, imitating various expressions and actions, and at other times, he would frown and think about how to make the plot more exciting.

“This part needs to be revised again, to make sure everyone at school is doubled over with laughter when we perform it,” Sun Yu muttered to himself, a smug smile on his face.

Three days before returning to school, Yi Shang and Jiang Wan’yuan decided to invite Zhang Yao, Jichuan, and Sun Yu to their home to finalize and discuss their respective achievements.

Everyone gathered in the spacious living room, where a holographic projection displayed the energy shield model of Yi Shang and Jiang Wan’yuan. Yi Shang explained in detail the principles and performance of the shield, while Jiang Wan’yuan supplemented with interesting stories from the experimental process.

“The innovation of this energy shield lies in the combination of two different energy technologies, which greatly improves the protection performance,” Yi Shang said, while operating the projection to show key parts.

Jichuan listened carefully and offered his opinion: “From a technical point of view, the balance between the instantaneous burst of energy and the continuous output can still be optimized. I think we can draw on the energy regulation algorithm ideas in my positioning system.”

Yi Shang and Jiang Wan’yuan’s eyes lit up, and they quickly nodded: “That’s a good idea, Jichuan, tell us more about it.”

Zhang Yao also expressed her opinions from the side: “In practical application scenarios, the shield’s protection against different types of cosmic rays may also need to be strengthened. The special substances released by some of the plants I’m researching may bring new inspiration to the shield material.”

Everyone chimed in, discussing enthusiastically. Jiang Wan’yuan excitedly recorded the suggestions made by everyone on the holographic screen, while Yi Shang focused on thinking about how to integrate these suggestions into the design of the energy shield.

When it was Zhang Yao’s turn to present her interstellar plant research results, she described in detail the characteristics and potential applications of these plants.

“The purification ability of these plants is beyond imagination. If they can be planted reasonably in the interstellar base, they can greatly improve the air quality,” Zhang Yao said, pointing to the plants in the projection.

Jiang Wan’yuan asked curiously: “What about their adaptability in different gravity and radiation environments?”

Zhang Yao replied with a smile: “This is also the focus of my next research. Preliminary experiments have shown that they have a certain adaptability in various extreme environments, but further optimization is needed.”

Jichuan also put forward his ideas: “Perhaps we can use my positioning system technology to accurately monitor and control the growth environment of plants and improve their survival ability.”

Zhang Yao’s eyes lit up: “That’s a great idea, Jichuan, we can try to cooperate.”

Next, Jichuan presented his interstellar navigation positioning aid system. He explained in detail the working principle and advantages of the system, as well as how to improve the accuracy of positioning through quantum positioning technology.

“If this system is applied to interstellar navigation, it can allow spaceships to navigate more accurately in complex interstellar space,” Jichuan introduced confidently.

Yi Shang thought for a moment and said, “From the perspective of energy consumption, can it be further optimized so that the system can reduce the reliance on the spaceship’s energy while ensuring accuracy?”

Jichuan nodded: “This is indeed a key issue. I have been studying this during the holiday and have already come up with some preliminary plans. After I go back and adjust it, it should have a better effect.”

Finally, Sun Yu shared his comedy script with everyone. He vividly narrated the plot, imitating the voices and actions of different characters, making everyone laugh.

“This script incorporates our holiday experiences, which will definitely resonate with everyone,” Sun Yu said with a smile.

Jiang Wan’yuan laughed so hard that tears almost came out of her eyes. She said, laughing, “Sun Yu, you are so talented, especially this part about Yi Shang and me arguing, it’s just too funny.”

Yi Shang couldn’t help but laugh either. She looked at Jiang Wan’yuan, her eyes full of tenderness: “I didn’t expect our quarrel to be written into such an interesting episode by you.”

Everyone further improved their respective achievements in laughter and discussion. Time passed unconsciously, and night fell, and the starry sky illuminated the interstellar night sky.

“Today’s discussion has been so rewarding. I believe that after we return to school, we will definitely let everyone see our growth and progress,” Yi Shang said, looking at everyone, her eyes full of confidence.

“That’s right, and we can also work together to combine our respective achievements, maybe we can create something even more amazing,” Jiang Wan’yuan said excitedly.

“Yes, we are a team, and we will definitely realize more dreams if we work hard together,” Zhang Yao echoed with a smile.

Jichuan and Sun Yu also nodded in agreement. On this warm night, everyone not only had a clearer direction for their respective achievements, but also deepened their friendship with each other. They knew that the upcoming new semester would be a new starting point full of challenges and opportunities, and they were fully prepared, carrying full of friendship and dreams, and bravely moving towards a new journey.

On the day before returning to school, Yi Shang and Jiang Wan’yuan once again carried out the final sorting and verification of the energy shield data. Jiang Wan’yuan looked at the neatly arranged data and said with emotion: “Yi Shang, because of you this holiday, I have learned a lot and grown a lot.”

Yi Shang looked at Jiang Wan’yuan gently: “Me too, Wan’yuan. With your companionship and support, I can keep moving forward in research. In the future, we will face more challenges together.”

The two smiled at each other, their hearts full of anticipation for the new semester. They knew that in the days to come, no matter what difficulties they encountered, they would work together, because they were not only partners in pursuing their dreams, but also each other’s most solid support. And this precious friendship will be like the most brilliant stars in the interstellar space, illuminating their path forward and accompanying them to write more exciting chapters.
