===005 The Joy of Learning===
Afterward, Luo Shengrong, Huang Shujun, and Su Hao sat around a table and officially held a significant family meeting.
The topic of discussion was “how Luo Zhaohui should go to school.”
After a somewhat intense discussion, the family council determined Su Hao’s future learning plan: skip a grade, establish an educational record, spend half the time self-studying and the other half attending school to seek guidance from teachers.
After negotiations with the school and the testing of Su Hao, they gladly accepted his enrollment. The school even proposed to reduce a series of miscellaneous fees for Su Hao. A mutually beneficial plan was quickly agreed upon.
At just over 5 years old, Su Hao became an honorable junior high school student.
However, the difficulty of subjects like math and physics in junior high school was nothing to him. After a brief review, he began studying high school material. The only slightly difficult subjects for him were history and politics. But this didn’t deter Su Hao; he directly recorded all the content using the pinball space.
However, during exams that required knowledge of history, Su Hao encountered a problem. The knowledge recorded in the pinball space wasn’t originally his own recorded information. In order to find it again, he needed to spend a considerable amount of time searching, rendering the retrieval efficiency very low.
So Su Hao had an idea: what if he could categorize the recorded information and store it systematically? Then, when he needed to use it, he could directly find the corresponding subproject.
Thoughts turned into actions. Through some mysterious connection, Su Hao’s consciousness entered the pinball space. It was desolate and seemed empty, yet it contained an infinite amount of information.
The first step was to categorize the information.
How should he do it?
The space recorded all information from its inception until now, appearing chaotic and seemingly impossible to organize.
However, after years of understanding the pinball space, Su Hao discovered that the stored information was arranged in chronological order. In other words, the most recent information could be quickly found, while very old information required digging deep into the space and flipping through continuously to be accessed.
After pondering for a moment, Su Hao came up with an idea. He only needs to label each tiny time period with a corresponding number, then he can locate the events or information in that time period. So when he categorizes these numbers, it’s like categorizing all the information.
For example, in a minute of 60 seconds, each second is labeled with a number, 1, 2, 3…60. In this minute, Su Hao recorded a historical event in the first ten seconds, he sneezed between the 20th and 30th second, he recorded a math formula from the 30th to the 40th second, he scratched an itch from the 40th to the 50th second, and he recorded another math formula from the 50th to the 60th second. In this way, the things that happened in this minute can be categorized into “history,” “trivial matters,” and “mathematics.” Numbers 1-10 are categorized as history, 20-30 and 40-50 are categorized as trivial matters, and 30-40 and 50-60 are categorized as mathematics. In this way, the information can be categorized.
But this kind of categorization requires time and effort that Su Hao cannot complete, and he cannot constantly be distracted to categorize every single thing he encounters.
So, Su Hao thought of a corresponding method – intelligence.
Dealing with trivial and overwhelming information is not something that the human brain is good at, so humans invented computers to help process and store a large amount of complex information.
If the pinball space can be turned into a supercomputing center that can automatically process information, then the significance to Su Hao is self-explanatory, it’s like carrying an intelligent system with him.
But the difficulty of building such a system is extremely high.
The main difficulties lie in Su Hao’s time and his knowledge reserves.
Time is okay, as long as he can wait, slowly he can gather enough. But now he lacks the most crucial information technology, including how to accurately filter, categorize, search, extract, and further compare, communicate, and automate.
Su Hao exited the pinball space and slowly organized his plan.
The next step is not to think too much, just study, first review all the science knowledge from high school. With the assistance of the pinball space, the learning speed is extremely fast.
At the age of seven, Su Hao learned all the science knowledge from high school, took the college entrance examination, and entered a prestigious domestic university. It caused a sensation nationwide and he was recognized as a genius and the future of the country.
If nothing unexpected happens, Su Hao can really rely on the pinball space and become one of the top talents in scientific research.
He successfully enrolled in September, his parents also quit their jobs and came to the city where the university is located – Shangzhou City, and found new jobs to accompany Su Hao in his studies.
Four years later, Su Hao completed the undergraduate courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and information technology.
Of course, there were many difficulties encountered during the learning process, but all around him were helpful older brothers, sisters, and professors who gave Su Hao the greatest help with incredible patience. This is the main reason why Su Hao was able to successfully complete these courses in four years.
Without help and relying solely on self-study, he might not have been successful even in twenty years.
During these four years, in order to reduce the financial burden on his parents, Su Hao also did copy work, copying several books and songs, and he was all the rage for a while. He was hailed as the youngest and most versatile genius in Huaguo, having more popularity than the current first-line superstars.
Of course, copying books and songs was not Su Hao’s goal, studying was. So after earning enough money, Su Hao stopped.
However, when he thought that this world didn’t have the Four Great Classical Novels, Su Hao felt regretful. Such classic literary works, people from another world cannot see them. In order to repay the help this world gave him, Su Hao decided that in his spare time, he could write the Four Great Classical Novels and let everyone recognize the brilliance of the Monkey King.
So, when Su Hao graduated from college, “Journey to the West” was published.
In that year, “Journey to the West” became the most popular and best-selling book in the entire Huaguo, without a doubt.
Then, with the money Su Hao earned, his parents bought a luxurious villa in Shangzhou City.
In the villa, Luo Shengrong and Huang Shujun held a graduation party for Su Hao and congratulated him on entering graduate school.
“We wish our baby son Xiaohui a happy graduation. Entering a new stage of life!”
“Clap!”
The pressure bursts into fireworks.
Luo Shengrong and Huang Shujun immediately cheered and lifted Su Hao into the air, then caught him steadily.
Luo Shengrong has now become a chubby fat man, and his former handsome appearance has vanished.
On the contrary, Huang Shujun, when dressed up, has lost her aging appearance, her whole being radiant, like a girl in her twenties.
Indeed, wealth can change a person’s spirit.
Huang Shujun said to Su Hao, “Xiaohui, do you have any wishes? Your dad and I can each fulfill one of your wishes.”
Luo Shengrong nodded with a smile.
Su Hao nodded and said, “I do have one. I want to learn low-level source code development and system software programming.”
Luo Shengrong and Huang Shujun both had question marks popping up in their minds, but they didn’t want to ask and just smiled, saying, “Okay, we promise you. What else?”
Su Hao thought for a moment and said, “I want a younger brother or sister.”
“What?”
Luo Shengrong and Huang Shujun were confused for a moment, then they looked at each other, and rare blushes appeared on their faces.
