In 1982, Lin Qingwan graduated from junior high with one of the top scores on the entrance exams.
Despite her elders' objections, she insisted on applying to the electronic engineering program.
Only after school started did she discover she was the only girl in her class.
During a lab session, a precise and expensive imported instrument suddenly stopped working.
Several male classmates, sons of factory workers who thought highly of themselves, crowded around the machine, scratching their heads and sweating profusely.
Lin Qingwan quietly glanced over from behind them. "You installed the capacitor backward. Also, there are two cold solder joints."
As she spoke, her hands moved swiftly and precisely. After a few quick adjustments, the instrument sprang back to life.
"H-how did you do that?!"
Lin Qingwan smiled faintly. "I happened to read about it in a book."
Back then, she only vaguely knew that the "book" in her mind was actually called the "Cross-Time Learning Classroom."
She had no idea that one end of the System was connected to her, and the other to the future.
She also had no idea that in the System forum of the future, a video of her repair work would be hailed as "the ultimate documentary on hardcore retro technology" and go viral across the internet!
[Boss, boss, could you please show us how to handcraft a glow tube? I'll send you twenty rockets!]
[Hello, classmate. I have some preliminary ideas about the signal-to-noise ratio issue you raised in your last video. I'd be glad to hear your thoughts and discuss it.]
[Oh my god! The person above has a gold verification badge?! Is that you, Professor Zhang?! Aaaah, I've brought my own stool. Please let me sit in on a class, aaaah!]

A human life lasts no more than a hundred years. How should one live it?
Lin Qingwan began pondering this question when she was in her teens.
From an "oddball" nobody believed in to a technical genius who outclassed everyone through sheer ability;
from an anxious young woman chasing her dreams to a nationally treasured engineer who brought glory to her country.
After decades of hard work, she finally completed an answer she could be proud of.
Along the way, countless rivals sneered at her: "What kind of waves can a woman make in this field?"
But later, all they could do was watch as Lin Qingwan's name was carved into the most dazzling monument to science and technology of the age.
