From All-Round Top Student to Chief Scientist

There are very few well-written books about academic achievers; many of them stray from the academic theme and go off on other things, like business or sports. People read books about academic achievers because they want to see how these top students excel in the scientific field. This book is still very well written and has no flaws.

Author, why don't you stop focusing on Tsinghua and Peking Universities in this book? Why not learn about the Seven Sons of National Defense?

First of all, I want to ask you all, what is the purpose of your college entrance examination? Isn't it to get into a better school and learn more knowledge? Tsinghua and Peking University, the top two universities in the country, are so prestigious that countless people would fight tooth and nail to get in, yet they're still complaining about it.

These two chapters today were really toxic. A top physicist and mathematician recognized worldwide—the FBI dares to arrest him? Small countries aside, daring to arrest him is practically trying to start World War III! No politician would dare to even mention such a thought. Even if the protagonist goes to the US, America treats him with great kindness, but if anything goes wrong, even an accident, it's unacceptable.

I haven't read the novel yet, but I saw in the comments that the protagonist is going abroad, so I came here to comment.

To put it simply, as a bookworm of ten years and a high-level VIP reader, I think the first half of this book is indeed quite good, aside from a few minor flaws. It started to fall apart in the middle and later stages, and Zheng Rong'er was an absolute liability. But the author just wouldn't listen to advice, and the scientific research results were introduced too quickly.

Recently, a paper on the principles of high-performance materials was published, yielding so many significant results, and then he went abroad to study? That's utterly insulting! I'm not going to engage with that. Goodbye!

The protagonist is mostly self-taught, so why does he need to pursue a PhD abroad? With a system, what's the point of having teachers? What's the use of just getting a degree? PhD students are just assistants! Is there a later plot point where he's prevented from returning home, and the government intervenes to allow him to come back?

From the moment the protagonist started working on titanium alloys, it became impossible for him to leave the country. Everyone understands the reason. If he were just a pure mathematician, it might be okay, but now that he's venturing into the field of materials applications, going abroad is tantamount to suicide, and quietly at that.

I was actually quite looking forward to it, but when I saw the protagonist go abroad for further studies, I gave up on the book. I really don't understand why a protagonist with such advantages would still need to go abroad to study and build connections. Isn't it better to stay in China? It's not like the country doesn't support them; the grass is always greener on the other side. I'm dropping the book and leaving.
