Chapter 1994
The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea enters into force.

College of Computing light rail station.
After Ma Yue and Liu Xuan broke up, he waited for the train at the platform with the documents.
She was going back to the first server room and needed to be on the machine at night to practice what she had learned during the day.
Ever since she returned to IU, her life has been like this for the past half month, with classes during the day and airplanes at night.
She is a '92 computer science graduate, and was assigned to Jian Gong College just in time to establish a new computer science program. She was caught on the job and became an instructor.
In her case, it is very rare to teach right after graduation. Usually those who have graduated from graduate school may not have a turn to teach either.
Her return to her alma mater is also part of the Talent Fund arrangement.
As the development of the projects undertaken by the schools progressed, the requirements for schedule control, quality control, and a series of other requirements slowly became more stringent.
As a result, schools need to keep sending people back to IU for training.
It was under these circumstances that Ma Yue was sent back.
--------
Two light rail cars came in a short time.
People in the platform got on the train in order, and although it was a little crowded, it was in good order. For those who didn't get on, they continued to stand in line and waited patiently for the next one.
After dinner is when the traffic is at its peak and is known for its congestion.
The school is already considering expanding the number of operating cars from two to three to alleviate the increasing overcrowding.
With some departments and academic facilities moving south, and the student population increasing each year, the light rail was under pressure to be renovated right after it was built.
In order to alleviate traffic pressure during peak hours, the Administration Office has posted notices that students or work IDs will be used during special hours. Temporary trainees like her will need to apply for a temporary travel permit.
The light rail train moved with a slight vibration, and four stops were quickly reached.
Following the flow of people, she returned to the familiar old campus. Here, she spent the most important four years of her life.
When she got off the bus, she felt like she was returning to her alma mater.
Familiar buildings, surroundings, and even familiar smells.
In the South End, the buildings are new, the environment is new, and even the people you come in contact with give off a strange vibe.
All the teachers and students in the School of Computer Science, formerly the Department of Computer Science, were very different from her perception of the situation. It was the same with her former classmates and her former mentors.
She couldn't find the right adjectives to describe it, and in layman's terms, it was all about the money.
When we came back this time, everyone was talking about stocks, entrepreneurship, and financing.
Is this the same alma mater that was known for its strict style?
The facilities in the School of Computer Science have been completely overhauled. A large number of new computers, workstations were brought in.
Even freshmen can now request two airplane hours per day. She remembers clearly that the first time she had free airtime was her junior year.
Things and people around her were changing so fast that she was not used to it.
As IU was changing, so was CWI.
Half of C&I's '94 enrollment is already a computer science student.
In the past two years, she was repeatedly promoted to the title of lecturer, which was approved in the first year.
The school approached her, hoping that she could take advantage of this study period to publish two articles. The university gave her the green light to go all the way and apply for an associate professorship.
She was the best qualified of all the faculty members in the School of Engineering. Most importantly, she was a graduate of the University of Engineering!
After Liu Xuan resigned from Jian Gong School, she became the central figure in the communication between the two schools.
Her dinner with Xuan Liu just now was also part of the communication.
Xuan Liu has joined the Talent Fund and is in charge of the investment department, which is still a powerhouse.

Ma Yue put on his slippers, walked into the computer room, and turned on the computer assigned to him.
It was a 386, which was quite a bit inferior to the computer used in class.
The first computer room was older, full of old machines.
The new computer rooms were in the south wing, far away from the youth workers' apartment where she lived.
It's not good that the campus has gotten bigger, because the light rail has become a necessity for campus transportation. The light rail has become a necessity for campus transportation, but it stops after 8:00.
With the recent heavy snowfall, it's hard to get around. She can't walk in the snow for twenty minutes at night. So she had to come here to board the plane.
When she took the floppy disk out of her bag and plugged it into the computer, Ma Yue found that there was a disk inside. It must have been left behind by the person who boarded the computer earlier.
Ma took out the 3-inch floppy disk, turned around and handed it to the front desk.
On her way out, she noticed the name written on the floppy disk, Lina Li.
There was something familiar about that name.
Ma Yue shook her head, probably because she was too tired, she was familiar with too many things in the university.
It's been like this lately, day and night, and I'm too tired.
At dinner just now, Liu Xuan said that when the training is over, she will invite her former colleagues from Jian Gong University to go skiing, so she will have a good time and relax.
