1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 380: China's Olympic Team! Li Qiwei is full of confidence!

Li Qiwei's speech brought endless shock to the teachers and students of Guangdong University.

If the declaration of Tianming China was made by someone else.

Even a top student like Ye Qisun could not cause the slightest disturbance and might even be treated as a joke.

But it's completely different if it's Li Qiwei.

His influence and appeal will bring confidence to all young people in China.

Technology and education are just two of these areas.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Confidence is a hundred times more important than gold!
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Li Qiwei was no longer the lofty god of science, but a flesh-and-blood person like them.

He has joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, and he has a sense of family and country.

He will also silently bless the country in his heart.

A real and approachable Professor Li can bring far more hope than a legendary Professor Li.

The following speech ended with thunderous applause from the crowd.

Ye Qisun and others knew that once today's news spread, it would inevitably cause a sensation in the scientific community.

The first International Physics Olympiad will become the largest and most influential academic competition in history.

Whoever wins this competition will have his name and country known throughout the world.

At this moment, those who did not join the delegation were very upset.

Unfortunately, their strength is not up to standard.

He Yujie adopted the examination system when selecting the Chinese delegation.

Therefore, if you are not selected, it means you lack the hard power.

There is no way there could be any tricks in such an important match.

After the speech, all the teachers and students dispersed and they still had to go to class as usual.

Li Qiwei, accompanied by Yan Renguang, went to the training site of the Chinese delegation for the Physics Olympiad.

Guangdong University specially allocated a classroom for the contestants to attend classes, study, and discuss.

Walking on the tree-lined avenue, Yan Renguang still couldn't believe it. He asked excitedly:

"Principal, can Europe really send a team to participate?"

Yan Renguang was a student of the first class of Huangpu University of Technology and had received personal instruction from Li Qiwei.

After graduation, due to his outstanding performance in physics, he served as the dean of the School of Physics at the newly established Whampoa Institute of Technology as a lecturer.

While teaching, he did not forget to carry out his own physics research.

He published several original papers on gas ion mobility in succession.

One of the papers was even published in a Nature journal.

He also established an instrument laboratory for the school.

His research results and special contributions passed the assessment of Huangpu University of Technology and he was awarded the title of professor.

Yan Renguang was once considered a genius in the eyes of everyone.

However, when he was in college, the domestic education industry was just starting out.

Therefore, even if he is a genius, few people know about it.

Therefore, Yan Renguang felt a little regretful.

He also wanted to compete with other physics geniuses.

Now, although he himself cannot play, his role as a coach is as important as that of his students.

Li Qiwei caused a sensation after publishing the question guide and several example questions for the Physics Olympiad.

Because the questions are so damn difficult.

Not to mention the students, even many professors were completely clueless when they saw it.

The Olympiad questions are indeed a bit too advanced for this era.

The knowledge points are similar, but the problem-solving thinking is simply amazing to everyone.

It examines not only dead knowledge but also requires living application.

It can be said that those who can participate in the Olympiad are definitely true geniuses.

This is not the same concept as the so-called nerd.

Now that the European team can take the field, the Olympics instantly becomes exciting.

Only fighting with the strong can make a genius excited.

Yan Renguang can't wait for that day to come.

Seeing him so excited, Li Qiwei also smiled.

"It should be no problem."

"Professor Thomson, Professor Planck, Madame Curie, Professor Lorentz, etc. have all communicated with me."

"I will work with the Red Cross to protect the rights of students."

"This is something that will benefit all countries and I believe all governments will agree."

"Otherwise, if there is a backlash from public opinion, no one will be able to explain to the general public."

"And Americans are particularly concerned about this matter. Their newspapers are jumping up and down all day long, criticizing it in various ways."

"With lobbying from the United States, I think it's entirely feasible for Europe to just send some students."

Yan Renguang smiled and said, "The United States is in a great location. No one can hit it. It's very safe there."

"After this war in Europe, I think more people will choose to study in the United States in the future."

Li Qiwei nodded, this would be an inevitable trend.

"By the way, Ren Guang, I never asked."

"How are the members of our Chinese delegation this time?"

"I have seen Ye Qisun before. He is a very promising young man. I think he has a good chance of making it into the top three."

Yan Renguang was shocked. He didn't expect the principal to have such a high opinion of Ye Qisun.

Because Ye Qisun was not the smartest in the team.

There is a student who is better than him.

"There are five participants in total, including Ye Qisun."

"The other four are: Ding Xubao, Zhang Shaozhong, He Zenglu, and Wu Youxun."

"Ding Xubao has strong hands-on skills and is good at using and building various instruments and equipment."

"Zhang Shaozhong has strong logical thinking ability and is good at theoretical analysis."

"He Zenglu has strong innovative ability and can often come up with some interesting ideas."

"As for the last one, Wu Youxun, I think he should be the strongest among the five and the undisputed number one."

"Oh?" Li Qiwei's heart moved.

When Yan Renguang introduced them, the detailed information of these five people had already flashed through Li Qiwei's mind.

They will all be famous figures in the Chinese physics community in the future.

But this information was collected after the five people became famous.

He had no idea what level the current five people were at.

As a competition coach and head of the delegation, Yan Renguang must know them very well.

So, Li Qiwei listened very carefully.

He asked, "Is there anything special about this Wu Youxun?"

Yan Renguang said: "Although Wu Youxun was born in the countryside, he is very intelligent and extremely hardworking."

"After entering Huangpu Polytechnic University, I spent almost every day in the library."

"Except for eating, sleeping and attending classes, his classmates can hardly see him."

“He is not only strong in theoretical physics, but also very good at doing experiments.”

"Most importantly, he has a very solid foundation in mathematics."

"This kid often audits classes at the School of Mathematics."

Yan Renguang introduced Wu Youxun with great excitement, then smiled mysteriously.

"Hey, Principal, I was planning to use Wu Youxun as my secret trump card."

"After today's speech, everyone must think that Ye Qisun is the boss of our Huaxia team."

"But no one knows that Wu Youxun is the strongest one."

"It's called surprise."

After listening to this, Li Qiwei smiled silently.

This is clearly a physics competition, how did you turn it into a spy war? "Let's go meet these geniuses. I believe they will definitely bring glory to the country."

Soon, the two arrived at the Olympic training classroom.

Wu Youxun and five others are already waiting here.

They were all listening to the previous speeches.

However, except Ye Qisun, the other four had all met Li Qiwei, so they were relatively calm.

Since they were all family, Li Qiwei was very casual when chatting.

"How is life here for the five of you?"

"Are there any difficulties?"

Ye Qisun was originally from Guangdong University, so I didn’t feel anything about him.

At this time, Wu Youxun said:

"Principal, everything is fine, but the competition questions are too difficult."

"We are very worried that we have failed to live up to your expectations."

As soon as he finished speaking, the others all nodded slightly, obviously caring about Wu Youxun's worries.

Even Ye Qisun, who had been full of ambition before, couldn't help but become nervous at this moment.

If there were no European team participating, Ye Qisun would definitely be confident that he could crush the players from other countries.

But now that all European countries will participate, the competitive pressure will suddenly increase.

Ye Qisun is confident but not conceited.

Although he was eager to fight with heroes all over the world, he was very appreciative of other people's strength.

Just imagine, if a superstar like Bohr appeared in the European team, the Chinese team would be in danger.

After listening to this, Li Qiwei patted Wu Youxun on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, it's difficult for everyone."

"Professor Yan just shared with me your test results. I think you are fully qualified to compete with the strong teams in Europe."

“Olympiad questions are different from real physics research.”

“It values ​​innovation rather than accumulation.”

“So, you and the Western students are completely on the same starting line.”

"As long as you study seriously with Professor Yan, you will definitely get good results."

"It doesn't matter even if I fail."

"Who said that I, Li Qiwei, can't make a mistake once, right?"

Yan Renguang, Wu Youxun and others all laughed.

Li Qiwei's words made everyone feel more relaxed.

Next, he looked at the five people's usual test-taking records.

It has to be said that these five people are indeed academic masters carefully selected by He Yujie.

At least when it comes to problem-solving ability, there is no problem at all, and he surpasses most ordinary students.

In later generations, many people view academic masters as nerds.

Especially the top students in high school, who think that they are just machines that can solve problems, and they will definitely not be able to do well in another field.

In fact, learning ability is the most powerful ability. Even if the college entrance examination items are changed to playing games, the top students will still be those academic masters.

Li Qiwei was also a top student in his previous life, so he agreed with this point of view very much.

Those who often get first place in exams are not machines, but have smart brains.

As for the relationship between learning ability and innovation ability, that is another topic.

The main focus of this Physics Olympiad is learning ability.

That is why Li Qiwei is so confident that China will definitely be among the top three.

Because when Li Qiwei implemented the reform of the education system, he added the element of the sea of ​​questions tactic.

The various exams in Chinese schools are far more than those in European and American universities.

Although it was a bit of a hasty move, Li Qiwei couldn't care less.

China is now racing against time to lay a solid foundation.

As for innovation capabilities, it is not very urgent for the time being.

Establishing and improving the industrial system has little to do with innovation.

When China's scientific foundation is strong enough, then we will need to consider innovation.

Now, with Li Qiwei leading Huangpu University of Technology, it will be responsible for innovation.

They are Chinese too!
"Not bad, I didn't expect you to improve so quickly."

After watching the five people's training, Li Qiwei felt more reassured about his prediction.

With the current strength of the five of us, it is indeed a bit difficult to get first place.

But the top three shouldn't be a problem.

He himself studied for his undergraduate degree at Cambridge University and is very clear about the strength of the undergraduates there.

The questions in this year's Olympiad are probably equivalent to Wilson's questions back then.

Although in later generations, the intensity was not very strong.

But it is still very challenging for students of this era.

Even the elites at Cambridge University were helpless.

It is not easy for Wu Youxun and the other four to achieve this.

However, Li Qiwei was the one who set the questions for this Olympiad, so he did not talk much about the exam with the others.

After briefly commenting on the performance of a few people, we started talking about other things.

For example, whether you plan to continue studying for a master's degree, whether you will choose Huangpu University of Technology, etc.

After being brainwashed by Li Qiwei, Ye Qisun's passion for studying abroad at the University of Chicago has faded.

"Professor, I want to try Huangpu Polytechnic University."

“I heard that the graduate school entrance exam there is very difficult.”

“I want to challenge myself.”

Li Qiwei smiled and said, "Qisun, there will be no problem for you."

"Welcome to Huangpu Polytechnic."

Ye Qisun chuckled.

As for Wu Youxun and the other three, they said in unison that they would continue to study for a master's degree at Huangpu.

As for whether to pursue a master's or doctoral degree, it depends on the specific arrangements.

Huangpu’s graduate training program is still in the experimental stage and there may be adjustments.

After hearing everyone's answers, Li Qiwei was still very moved.

These talented young men are willing to choose to stay, which shows their trust in Li Qiwei.

He will definitely not let everyone down.

Judging from the time, Yu Yin’s research is about to make a breakthrough.

By then, the Borneo Atomic Laboratory will definitely become a hit!

After the Olympiad, China will begin to demonstrate its original research capabilities.

After his trip to Guangdong University, Li Qiwei stayed for a few more days.

During this period, many celebrities came to visit him.

Li Qiwei accepted everyone who came and also did some publicity for the Chinese Science Society.

At the same time, the news that the European team might participate in the first Physics Olympiad was also spreading wildly in the country.

The Chinese Science Society spared no effort in promoting it.

“This is a grand event for the global scientific community!”

On November 1915, 11, Ridgway set out for Borneo.

Next, he will strongly call for Europe to participate in the Olympics.

Planck and others have formed an alliance in Europe.

At this time, Li Qiwei, the world's top scientist, is needed to step in.

He will unite all forces to accomplish this great feat.

This is the first time that elite students from around the world will compete on the same stage.

In this special era, its influence will far exceed that of future generations.
