Every Time I Trend, It's Because of My Side Hustle

Cong Xiao, a genius scholar from the interstellar age, accidentally transmigrates thousands of years into the past and binds herself to an overbearing System that completely ignores the Three Laws of Robotics. To pursue a dream she once had, Cong Xiao ends up choosing materials science by a stroke of fate. Holographic simulators, string chips, quantum stealth materials, biodegradable plastics, bionic artificial eyes, the Feifei One, new types of batteries, temperature-regulating fabric coatings, personal aircraft, special-purpose hover vehicles, the No. 1 missile defense system, virtual reality headsets... From everyday materials that affect people's lives to classified materials for national defense, Cong Xiao invents countless new materials that benefit her country and its people, advancing countless fields. With these humble materials, she builds a path to a stronger nation. From then on, materials science and engineering, once one of the “four notorious majors,” becomes one of the most popular fields, attracting countless students to enter the discipline. One day in the future, when the media once again announces that one of Cong Xiao’s new materials has been successfully applied in some field, netizens react with remarkable calm: [Congratulations to the genius on succeeding in yet another field!] [Here she comes, here she comes, bringing her materials with her.] [I never knew materials were so closely connected to our lives. Once again, I’m amazed by how much the genius has changed our lives.] [Wonder how long it’ll take for the genius to trend this time.] [My condolences to the celebrity who bought today’s trending spot!] An internal forum: [Where do you think the final version of that newly announced material will be used?] [Come on, the derivative version is already this amazing. What do you think the final version will be like?] [Shh! Careful, or you’ll get called in for a chat.] [Ever since the genius burst onto the scene, our obscure little major has become a trump card. Even when I look like a mess after work, people no longer mistake me for a steel mill worker.] [Don't even get me started. What about me, who gets mistaken for someone who went to university for four years only to end up as a young woman working in an electronics factory?] [Sure, people don't look down on us anymore, but is it really reasonable to keep asking whether I can manufacture aerospace materials or have worked on defense projects? I'm just an ordinary materials science and engineering intern!] [Anyway, I'm honored to be in the same field as the genius. I'll work hard, and I hope to join her lab one day.] P.S.
