Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

On a sunny summer day, at the graduation ceremony, Lantian's face was filled with a confident smile.

As an excellent student majoring in mechanical engineering, she not only achieved excellent academic results, but also won many awards in various competitions.

After graduation, she decided to pursue a graduate degree and joined the laboratories of Fu Ming and Ma Pingyuan, a choice that changed her life dramatically.

It was a sunny morning. The sunlight shone through the mottled leaves, casting patches of golden light, illuminating Lantian's figure as he walked towards the laboratory.

When she stood at the door of the laboratory for the first time, she felt both excited and nervous, and her hands trembled slightly as she pushed open the slightly heavy door.

As soon as you step into the laboratory, all kinds of complex and sophisticated instruments and equipment come into view. They are neatly arranged on the laboratory table, and the flashing indicator lights are like mysterious stars in the night sky, silently telling the mysteries of science.

The air is filled with the unique smell of chemical reagents, a mixture of the unknown and exploration, which is both strange and charming.

Professor Fu Ming and Professor Ma Pingyuan were already waiting in the lab. Luckily, their labs were connected. Because they often collaborated on academic projects, they had a very good relationship.

They all had smiles on their faces, and their eyes were full of anticipation for the new members to join.

Professor Fu Ming has become increasingly thinner. He wears a pair of black-framed glasses, and his eyes behind the lenses reveal wisdom and gentleness.

Recently, a nanomaterial he was experimenting with was entering a critical period, and Ma Pingyuan needed to provide further suggestions for improvements in the production process.

Professor Ma Pingyuan had long since emerged from his slump. During his time back at Peking University, he had long since dispelled the nightmare of his rural reform program. Now, he was determined to make up for all the time lost during the turmoil. He stood straight, looking tall and strong, with a bright smile, giving off an air of solidity and reliability.

"Zhou Tian, ​​welcome to join our laboratory!"

Professor Fu Ming spoke first, with a hint of expectation in his voice.

"If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask. We are all a team!"

Professor Ma Pingyuan also added enthusiastically.

Members of Fu Ming's team and Professor Ma Pingyuan's team looked at Zhou Tian with some curiosity. They didn't understand why the two professors valued Zhou Tian so much, as he was just a new graduate student this year.

Lantian glanced at the various glances, each with its own thoughts, and ignored them. She was here to do research, not to engage in internal strife. No matter what these people thought, as long as they didn't dance in front of her, she would just pretend she didn't see it.

Thinking of this, Lantian nodded slightly and responded very modestly:

"Thank you, professors. I will definitely work hard!"

At this moment, her attention was attracted by a large nanomaterial analyzer.

The metal casing of the instrument exuded a cold luster, and the complex dashboard and knobs on it made her curious.

She approached cautiously and gently stroked the surface of the instrument, her heart full of longing for her future scientific research life.

However, besides being excited, she also felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Everything here is so advanced, and the research direction is different from what she has been exposed to before. She is worried about whether she can adapt quickly and live up to the expectations of the two professors.

In the early days, Lantian was like a dry sponge, desperately absorbing new knowledge in the laboratory.

She came to the laboratory early every day and carefully observed the experimental operations of her seniors, not missing any details.

Whenever she encountered something she didn't understand, she would ask humbly, and her thick notebook was soon filled with various questions and answers.

Once, when assisting Fu Ming in conducting a basic experiment on nanomaterials, Lan Tian accidentally made an operational error, resulting in deviations in the experimental data.

Her face turned pale instantly, and her heart was filled with self-blame and panic: "What should I do? Why am I so careless? Will it delay the progress of the entire experiment?"

Fu Ming noticed her abnormality, but instead of blaming her, he patiently analyzed the problem with her and readjusted the experimental steps.

With Fu Ming's help, the experiment was finally completed successfully. Lantian also learned a lesson from this experience and became more calm and confident.

As time went by, Lantian gradually became familiar with the laboratory environment and workflow.

She began to try to combine what she learned in mechanical engineering with nanomaterial research, and new ideas often popped up in her mind.

Her background in mechanical engineering has opened a unique window for her, giving her a distinctive perspective in the research of nanomaterials.

She skillfully combines mechanical principles with the manufacturing of nanomaterials, like a highly skilled craftsman, meticulously carving every research detail.

Her research focuses on developing a new type of nanocomposite material, which is her ideal product. It far exceeds traditional materials in strength and toughness, like a warrior with an iron will; and it consumes less energy during the manufacturing process and is more environmentally friendly, making it a guardian of nature.

During his days in the laboratory, Lantian forgot the passage of time.

On countless late nights, the entire campus was immersed in dreams, but the lights in the laboratory were still bright.

She sat in front of the laboratory table, holding samples that were constantly being tested in her hands. Those samples carried her hopes and dreams; in her mind was her vision of the future, as she saw new nanomaterials shining brightly in various fields.

Sometimes she frowned, thinking about the problems that arose in the experiment; sometimes her eyes lit up, as if she had found a breakthrough.

Her efforts were like stars, finally coming together to form a bright light.

After several months of dedicated research, Lantian finally succeeded in synthesizing a new type of nanomaterial.

At that moment, tears of excitement flashed in her eyes, which was the joy of her hard work being rewarded.

It just so happened that there was an international summit on nanomaterials being held in the world, so Fu Ming brought Zhou Tian with him and asked her to give a speech on stage, bringing her own research results to the stage of the international conference.

In that place where the world's top scientific researchers gather, Lantian is a little nervous, but more confident.

She stood at the podium, her voice clear and firm, showing her research results to the world.

The audience was deeply attracted by her speech and burst into warm applause from time to time.

As soon as her paper was published, it received widespread recognition, like a huge rock thrown into the academic ocean, causing a thousand waves.

Her research results not only attracted the attention of the academic community, and were reported by professional journals, but also attracted the attention of some companies, who saw the huge commercial value behind this new material.

The atmosphere in the laboratory is full of passion for innovation and exploration. Professor Fu Ming is an expert with great achievements in the field of nanomaterials, while Professor Ma Pingyuan is a world-leading master of mechanical technology. The two work together like fish in water.

As an outstanding disciple of both, Lantian's background in mechanical engineering provides a unique perspective for her research. She combines mechanical principles with the manufacturing of nanomaterials, gradually showing her talent.

However, Lantian was not in a hurry to enter the workplace. She chose to continue her studies and pursue a doctorate degree.

She understands that only by continuous learning can she stay invincible in the rapidly developing field of science and technology.

Her parents have always supported her decision. Although they hope their daughter can get married and start a family as soon as possible, Lantian always has bigger dreams in her heart.

It's another ordinary weekend, and the warm sunshine pours into the living room without reservation, casting a soft halo on everything in the house.

Zhou Mingguo sat on the sofa with the newspaper spread out in his hand, but his eyes would occasionally peek over the top of the newspaper, secretly looking at Lantian who was sitting next to him and concentrating on playing with his mobile phone.

Wan Wan was peeling an orange on the coffee table nearby. The fragrance of the orange filled the air, and her eyes were filled with hesitation as if she wanted to say something.

Finally, Wan Wan coughed lightly, breaking the silence.

"Tiantian, you're not a kid anymore. The daughter of Sister Zhang from the next unit is about the same age as you, and her child is already old enough to help with cooking."

As she spoke, she handed the peeled orange to Lantian with a barely perceptible look of anticipation on her face.

Lantian took the orange, took a light bite, and smiled helplessly.

"Mom, I really want to focus on scientific research right now. Let's talk about relationships later."

Zhou Mingguo put down the newspaper, cleared his throat, and his expression became a little serious.

"Tiantian, we know you love scientific research, but marriage is a major life event and can't be put off forever. You're so busy every day, it's time to think about your lifelong happiness."

There was a sense of unquestionableness in his tone, and his eyes were fixed on Lantian, as if trying to find a sign of compromise on her face.

Lantian put down his phone and looked at his parents seriously.

"Dad, Mom, I understand your feelings, but now is not the right time. My research project is at a critical stage, and I don't want to be distracted by other things. Besides, I don't think marriage is a must in life. I would rather achieve something in scientific research."

Lantian made her eyes look firm and sincere, trying to make her parents understand her inner thoughts.

Wan Wan's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of loss flashed in her eyes.

"Tiantian, we understand what you're saying, but you're our only daughter, and we hope you can get married soon and live a stable and happy life. If you stay single, we'll never feel at ease."

There was a hint of helplessness and worry in her voice, and her hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes.

Zhou Mingguo also echoed.

"Yes, Tiantian, you are so busy every day that you don't even have time to rest. If you have a companion, he can take care of you, and you will feel more at ease when we leave."

His eyes were full of concern and worry, and he leaned forward slightly, as if trying to close the distance between him and his daughter.

Lantian looked at his parents' worried eyes and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

She stood up, walked over to her parents and held their hands.

"Dad, Mom, I know you're doing this for my own good, and I'm very grateful. But everyone has their own pace of life, and mine is to focus on doing research first. I believe that when the time is right, it will come. Please stop worrying about me, okay?"

Her voice was soft but firm, trying to soothe her parents' anxiety.

Wan Wan looked at her daughter's determined eyes, sighed softly, and patted her hands.

"Okay, Tiantian, we know you have your own ideas, and we respect you. But you have to be aware of them and don't put yourself too hard on yourself."

Her eyes were still filled with worry.

Zhou Mingguo looked at Lantian helplessly, nodded, and his tone softened a lot.

"Yes, Tiantian, we believe in you. Just do what you want. If you encounter any difficulties, don't forget that we are here for you."

A relieved smile appeared on his face and he patted Lantian's shoulder.

Although this attempt to urge Zhou Tian to get married was unsuccessful, Zhou Mingguo and Wan Wan did not give up on changing Zhou Tian's idea of ​​not getting married.

Zhou Mingguo sat on the sofa and looked at Wan Wan.

He finally spoke: "Tiantian is already so old, and most of her peers have started families, but she is still devoted to scientific research. I don't know when she will be able to consider her own lifelong affairs. Don't delay it."

Wan Wan sighed, "The kids next door are already running around, but our Tiantian is still single. The older a girl gets, the fewer choices she has. It's really frustrating."

Wan Wan coughed lightly, with a barely perceptible hint of anticipation on her face, and said to Zhou Guoming, "Let's talk about other people's children more often, in front of Tiantian. Maybe if we talk about other people's children, it will make Tiantian pay attention."

Zhou Guoming's brows furrowed even deeper, a hint of loss flashed in his eyes, and he felt sad.

"We just hope Tiantian can have her own little family soon so we can feel at ease. But why doesn't she listen to us?"

Wan Wan's voice sounded filled with worry: "Are we pushing too hard?"

Zhou Mingguo also echoed: "Maybe, then let's not push her too hard. But we can't give up either. Look at Tiantian, she's so busy every day that she doesn't even have time to rest. If she had a companion, she could take care of her. We will all grow old eventually."

As he spoke, he sighed in his heart.

"As parents, we just want our children to live a happy and stable life. Why is it so difficult?"

Although the marriage-urging incident had concluded, Zhou Mingguo and Wan Wan still felt a little worried. However, they also understood that their daughter had grown up and had her own ambitions and aspirations. Since then, while they still occasionally broached the subject of marriage in conversation, their tone has been noticeably more relaxed, expressing more concern and understanding.

As time goes by, Lantian becomes more and more adept at the research of nanomaterials.

She began to lead her team in deeper exploration, trying to apply her nanocomposites to fields such as energy storage and biomedicine.

Her team made continuous breakthroughs in experiments and finally developed a nanocoating that can significantly improve the performance of lithium batteries. This achievement has provided new impetus for the popularization of electric vehicles.

Lantian's research career was full of challenges and rewards, and her name gradually became known in the academic community.

She has not only published many high-impact papers in international journals, but has also won numerous scientific research awards. However, despite her thriving career, Lantian has always maintained a sense of peace in her heart.

She chose to be single, believing that career and family are not contradictory, but she hopes to devote all her energy to scientific research.

Every weekend, she would go home to spend time with her parents, cook, chat, and share her scientific research progress.

Although her parents were once worried about their daughter's single life, after seeing Lantian's achievements and happiness in her career, they gradually felt relieved and began to feel proud of their daughter.

As time goes by, Lantian is going further and further on the road of scientific research.

Her research results not only promoted scientific development, but also brought tangible changes to society.

Many of the projects she participated in have achieved remarkable results in practical applications, and some technologies have even been widely promoted and become industry standards.

Throughout her career, Lantian has gradually become a role model for young scientific researchers.

She often shares her experiences in various academic activities and encourages young people to pursue their dreams.

She believes that scientific research requires not only a solid foundation and rich knowledge, but also the courage to explore and innovate.

Over time, she gradually realized that the significance of scientific research lies not only in personal achievement but also in its contribution to society. By this time, she already had her own dedicated laboratory. She received strong support from senior professors such as Fu Ming and Ma Pingyuan.

She began to actively participate in charity activities, using her professional knowledge to help communities in need of technological support.

She and her team develop environmentally friendly materials suitable for rural areas to improve local living conditions.

Under her influence, more and more young scientific researchers have joined public welfare undertakings, and Lantian's laboratory has become a place full of love and responsibility.

She knew that the power of science lies in serving humanity, not just in the pursuit of personal honor.

Lantian has received numerous honors and achievements in her scientific research career, but what she cherishes most is the happy time she spent with her parents.

Although she never married, her heart was always full of love and warmth.

In her own way, she accompanied her parents through every stage of life.
