Chapter 3: Memory Palace
Gu Xiaobai, lying on the table, slept so happily that his saliva flowed out.
In fact, he didn't realize that he had fallen asleep, because in his mind, he was still lying in front of the table and continuing to study.
This is not a dream, but Gu Xiaobai's memory palace.
Human beings are born with the ability to remember the roads they have walked and the space they live in, and can easily find any put away things. Because people who cannot remember the road, cannot find weapons, or forget the location of traps have been unable to be caught in primitive times.
The beast that caught the prey ate it.
But it is difficult for humans to remember the knowledge and complex theories in textbooks. This is because the development of human knowledge and science has far exceeded the speed of human evolution, so humans need to spend a lot of time learning.
Libraries and the Internet are all things that can expand human memory, but external storage can never be comparable to one's own memory.
The Memory Palace can be called the most powerful memory technique in human beings, and it is also one of Gu Xiaobai's best memory techniques.
Construct a familiar scene in your own mind, whether it is the textbook on the table, the books on the bookshelf, the switch behind the door, or the rust on the door handle, they are all connected to a certain part of the memory.
There are four rooms in Gu Xiaobai's memory palace. One is the bedroom before going to college, which records the knowledge he learned before going to college. One is the utility room, which records all kinds of miscellaneous knowledge.
It is the living room, which records various things that need to be dealt with at the moment.
The last room is where Gu Xiaobai is staying now, his dormitory at Dongyuan University.
I don’t know whether it’s because of Gu Xiaobai’s extraordinary talent or because of his extra hard work, but his memory palace is indestructible, extremely concrete and lifelike.
And this indestructible memory palace is a barrier that the system cannot break through no matter what.
In the memory palace, the wind from the air conditioner blew the curtains and swayed gently. A tree outside the window swayed gently in the wind. I don’t know when the wind outside the window changed and the clouds fluttered. After a while, the sunshine returned to the sky.
"Ding ding ding..." Gu Xiaobai's cell phone rang suddenly. He suddenly raised his head, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth in confusion, and grabbed the cell phone.
"Hey...what did you say?!!!"
Gu Xiaobai woke up immediately.
…
Dongwon University has four halls of varying sizes that can be used as performance venues. Hall 3 is the newest of them, and it has been crowded with people since the morning because the primary election is held here.
At Dongwon University, both students and faculty are very busy with study work, and the scale of the primary election is large. Therefore, both judges and students basically make appointments in a cycle of one and a half hours.
Come to participate at the designated time, students will participate on time, and the judges will rotate at any time.
After all, this is a primary election on campus. It cannot be like a social audition, where students sing a few lines and then go straight to the poll. The enthusiasm and mentality of the students must be taken into consideration.
Therefore, when there is a car accident scene, you often have to listen to it and then pretend to make a few comments.
Zhao Xingsheng, a history professor who studies the history of ancient music and ancient musical instruments, has been serving as a primary judge for the fifth year, and he was still caught this year.
In previous years, Zhao Xingsheng was quite interested, but this year, Zhao Xingsheng was like a monkey sitting on a teppanyaki, constantly twisting and turning. Although he was here, his mind had already flown back to other places, suffering.
It must have roasted the cumin flavor.
Just in the morning, Dongwon University was excavating an artificial lake. During the exploration, they discovered a pre-Qin ruins, in which a large number of ancient musical instruments were unearthed.
Preliminary estimates suggest that its scale and variety are even more astonishing than the Tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng, which once shocked both China and the world! At this time, Zhao Xingsheng wished he could stay in Tanfang forty-eight hours a day and tan his recently fair skin into a shit-yellow color.
, but I really couldn’t put it off, so I had no choice but to come over.
In this hour and a half, God knows what good things were discovered by others. Will those sloppy graduate students trample on the precious instruments? What if the things I want to study are taken away?
Zhao Xingsheng, who was worried about gains and losses, looked impatient. In addition, his performance on stage was really average, and he almost complained several times.
Until a handsome young man carrying a guitar came on stage.
There was a burst of cheers and applause from the audience.
"Brother Yao, come on!"
"Brother Yao!"
Fu Wenyao carried his beloved Martin D-28 onto the stage amidst the cheers of the crowd.
Standing still on the stage, Fu Wenyao glanced down confidently.
In the hall, not counting the classmates who came to support him, there were hundreds of people. It was considered a big stage. An ordinary person would have started to get nervous at this time, but Fu Wenyao had been on stage countless times since he was a child.
, bowed very confidently and said: "Fu Wenyao, Class 1, Grade 18, Department of Physics, plays the guitar and sings Ding Shiguang's "Lunar Eclipse". The accompaniment teacher, please help with a drum beat, 4/4 beat, thank you. Judge teacher,
Can I start?"
Seeing Zhao Xingsheng nod, Fu Wenyao began to play and sing.
Fu Wenyao has been playing guitar for seven years. The Martin guitar in his hand is said to have "defined the tone of the guitar" and has an excellent tone. The song "Eclipse" he chose is the piece he has practiced the most recently. It is originally sung
Ding Shiguang.
As a "newcomer" who has been hidden behind the scenes for more than ten years, 37-year-old Ding Shiguang has just made his debut and won the Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer, Best Album, and Album of the Year for his first album "Nervous Chronicles"
It can be said that it was born out of nowhere.
"Eclipse" is a single he released just over half a year ago, with a retro and rhythmic R&B style.
Fu Wenyao stood on the stage, plucked his fingers and played a short phrase, then paused, started clapping weakly, flowing chords flowed out, and Fu Wenyao's magnetic baritone voice sounded:
"rain
don't stop
don't stop
It seems to take the whole city
All my patience is broken
you
eye shadow
All cry flowers
I had to look out the window
I do not know what to say……"
Fu Wenyao stood on the stage, handsomely playing simple but very rhythmic chords. After singing the first verse, he turned to the keyboard player and nodded, and the improvised drum beats joined in, matching the guitar chords.
Intertwined together, the atmosphere suddenly heightened.
Fu Wenyao was smiling, swaying his body to the beat, and entered the second verse of the lyrics. The guitar in his hand seemed to be playing casually and smoothly. The audience in the audience had just been tortured by the scene of the previous car accident.
Helplessly, when I saw such a performance, I was immediately inspired and couldn't help but move my body.
The students who came to cheer Fu Wenyao shouted loudly:
"Ah, Brother Yao!"
"Brother Yao, I want to give birth to a monkey for you!"
Another judge sitting next to Zhao Xingsheng couldn't help but nod: "Yes, this is really good!"
Zhao Xingsheng, who was full of suffering, had evolved into a crayfish on the fire. His two extremely thick and powerful hands kept opening and closing, trying to pinch anyone. In his opinion, Fu Wenyao's performance was only good.
He had already lowered his head and planned to call the next person to prepare.
"Gu Xiaobai? Is Gu Xiaobai here?" He looked at the list on the laptop screen in front of him and asked the staff next to him.
The staff member was at a loss, holding the list in his hand: "Teacher Zhao, this is the last one on my list..."
"But I obviously have it here." Zhao Xingsheng was unhappy.
"What happened... went wrong?" The staff member was confused.
"If it's wrong, then which one is wrong?" Zhao Xingsheng became even more unhappy and wanted to scold someone whenever he disagreed.
At this moment, not far behind him, a classmate who was cheering for Fu Wenyao heard it.
"Teacher, did you just say Gu Xiaobai?"
"you know?"
"I know him, but it's impossible for us novices to sign up."
"What? Xiaobai signed up?"
"Is he really our novice?"
"How many newbies do you know?"
Gu Xiaobai’s classmates crowded around with cheers.
"Let me call and ask." Wang Haixia, Gu Xiaobai's roommate, took out his cell phone.
Chapter completed!
