1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 382: China's trump card! Li Qiwei asks!

As the time approached, the news of the first Physics Olympiad spread more and more widely and became more and more well-known.

European countries in particular, despite the war, resolutely participated in the competition, which pushed the competition to a climax.

All major Western media outlets have praised it to their heart's content.

What about humanism, scientific spirit and so on.

From their words, they almost treated the Physics Olympiad as a sure thing for them.

They don't take Asian countries seriously at all.

Of course, they think so entirely because the current gap in scientific strength between the East and the West is too huge.

And physics is the jewel in the crown of science.

One must be a genius to achieve anything.

In terms of the number of geniuses, Europe at that time indeed crushed Asia.

"Except for Professor Bruce, no one in Asia can fight."

China.

Xu Shoushang, Director of the Science and Technology Department, once again visited Guangzhou.

He went straight to Guangdong University with a clear goal.

The Ministry of Education now has only one task for him: to ensure that the members of the Chinese delegation participate in the competition with the highest spirits.

After learning about Li Qiwei's speech, Xu Shoushang was not as excited as the students.

In his opinion, this was simply Professor Li encouraging the young men.

It must be passionate and courageous.

As for the top three, he only dared to think about them in his dreams.

The superiors have already given orders to the Ministry of Education.

As long as the Chinese team can get into the top ten individually or in the top ten as a team, they will be credited with great achievements.

As the direct person in charge, Xu Shoushang must be the one who gets the biggest credit or punishment.

Therefore, he is now eager to know the strength of the Huaxia team.

In fact, it is just seeking psychological comfort.

Although he is the director of the Science and Technology Department, his science level is worrying.

In Xu Shoushang's view, the examples in the Physics Olympiad are no different from India's Sanskrit scriptures.

In the whole of China, I'm afraid there are only a few dozen people in universities who can understand the questions.

This is a game between true geniuses.

"Brother Yan, can you tell me the truth? Are Professor Li's first three predictions reliable?"

Yan Renguang smiled. The other party didn’t know who was the nth person to ask him this question.

During this period, almost every few days, people from the education or science and technology circles came to visit Yan Renguang.

The problem is the same, that is, whether China's current strength can compete with Europe.

"Director Xu, it seems that you still don't trust Principal Li enough."

"When did he miss what he said?"

"I am just a soldier under the principal. He gave me a goal, and I will do my best to complete it."

"As for predicting grades, that's not my strong point."

Who is Xu Shoushang? He is a shrewd and talented person in officialdom.

As soon as he heard Yan Renguang's tone, he felt relieved.

"Haha, I feel relieved with your words."

"The main reason is that I've been reading European newspapers every day recently, and I'm really nervous."

"It feels like every student they sent out is incredibly strong."

"It is said that one of the French contestants is actually Marie Curie's daughter."

"Oh my god, even girls can participate in such a high-end scientific competition?"

Yan Renguang smiled and said:
"I admit that Europe's scientific strength is indeed very strong, and it is far ahead of China."

“But many people confuse academic science with applied science.”

"A typical example is the United States, whose industrial strength ranks first in the world."

"But in terms of academic science, I think we are not much different from China."

"And with the presence of Principal Li, our ranking will be even higher."

"So, we often think that Europe and the United States are stronger than us, but in fact they are stronger in industrial strength."

"This has little to do with a person's intelligence. It's mainly because the other party developed early and the industrial system is fully mature."

"Huaxia has just started, and there are not even a few chemical plants. In comparison, it is of course very weak."

"As long as we give us time, these infrastructures can be built."

“And in academic science, that’s where the real genius is needed.”

"Principal Li has spared no expense and invested countless resources to help Huaxia open the door to modern education."

"I believe that with the population of China, the number of geniuses emerging will definitely surpass that of Europe and America."

"And this competition is the best proof of this."

Yan Renguan’s analysis is not wrong.

If Li Qiwei had not appeared, in real history, Yan Renguang would still be an unknown international student.

Feeling disheartened by the halo of scientific mythology in Europe and the United States.

Believes that the country has no hope of catching up in the field of science.

Because he completely lost sight of the direction of his efforts.

He was unable to fundamentally change the country's education structure from the bottom up from a higher and more comprehensive perspective.

Of course, even if he saw it, it would be useless because he did not have the power to implement his own reforms.

Only Li Qiwei can do all this.

Moreover, Yan Renguang has also gone abroad for study and exchange in recent years.

Under Li Qiwei's coordination, scientific exchanges between China and Europe and the United States are still very frequent.

Yan Renguang felt from the bottom of his heart that the IQ of the Chinese people was no less than that of people of any race or country.

Therefore, he is very confident about this competition.

Especially after witnessing Wu Youxun's madness, he dared to guarantee that there would be no suspense about the top three.

At this moment, in the training classroom of Guangdong University.

Ye Qisun and others were surrounding Wu Youxun and asking for advice.

The young men were of similar age, so they just called each other randomly.

"Brother Xun, please help me with this problem about the movement of electrons in an electromagnetic field."

"Damn it, I'm almost going crazy because of this kind of question."

"When I close my eyes now, all the electrons are spinning in my head."

"Why is it so troublesome?"

He Zenglu's complaints made his brothers laugh.

We all felt the same way, the questions on electronic motion were just too difficult.

The physics knowledge used is obviously very simple, it is just the combination of electric field force and magnetic field force.

But the calculation is really overwhelming.

Wu Youxun smiled lightly, took his eyes off the book, and took He Zenglu's questions to look at them.

After just a dozen seconds, he said calmly:

"Oh, you calculated the Lorentz force wrong."

"That's how it should be, click, click."

Wu Youxun's dazzling and ferocious operations made the four people exclaim in amazement.

There is also a difference between a top student and a top student.

"I think Brother Xun will definitely take first place this time."

"I'm so envious of you, the future physics master."

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Ye Qisun suddenly caught a glimpse of the book that Wu Youxun had just read.

"Wow, Brother Xun, why are you reading about relativity and quantum theory?"

"Aren't these things not included in this competition?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Xubao, Zhang Shaozhong and He Zenglu hurriedly looked at the book.

Then he took a breath of cold air.

"Damn, Brother Xun, you are invincible."

“You actually took so many notes.”

“Even general relativity.”

"It's too outrageous."

At this moment, Ye Qisun felt the difference between him and the top geniuses.

Huangpu University of Technology is indeed a place where hidden talents are hidden.

At his current level, it is difficult for him to fully understand the special theory of relativity, let alone the general theory of relativity.

Wu Youxun is not only doing research, he even seems to be doing it very deeply.

At least Ye Qisun felt that the other party would definitely not just flip through it casually.

The book is filled with notes and formulas, all of which prove Wu Youxun's strong ability.

Ye Qisun suddenly felt that going to Huangpu University of Technology for graduate studies might be a better choice.

Even a top student like Wu Youxun did not choose to study abroad.

Why does he think that Chinese universities cannot satisfy him?

Facing the exclamations of several people, Wu Youxun acted very casually, not at all as humble and worried as he was in front of Li Qiwei.

He was determined to win this competition.

All the geniuses in Europe will be trampled under his feet.

As an orthodox descendant of Whampoa Polytechnic, Wu Youxun was able to read a large amount of information left by He Yujie and others.

Many of them are very meaningful for reference.

Wu Youxun benefited a lot.

“Although the competition only stipulates mechanics, thermodynamics, optics, and electromagnetism.” “But if you look carefully at the guidelines, you will find the word ‘mainly’ in front.”

"So I think there might be a final question that will require the use of the latest physics theories."

"Or calculating electron orbits, or calculating the effects of clock slowness and length contraction, etc."

"It never hurts to learn more anyway."

Ye Qisun and the other three were stunned.

Damn, he read it too carefully, even the competition guidelines were censored.

They had to admire Brother Xun for being so thoughtful.

"Brother Xun looks really stable this time."

"He wants to defeat all the European and American players."

Under the influence of Wu Youxun, the other four also began to study relativity and quantum theory.

They thought what Brother Xun said made sense.

With Principal Li's wild imagination, it is not surprising that he can come up with any topic. The main point is to do whatever one wants.

As for the experimental part, Ding Xubao and Wu Youxun jointly guided Ye Qisun and the other two.

As one of the two most famous universities in China, Guangdong University has laboratories that are comparable in scale to those abroad.

There are all kinds of instruments and equipment.

All the experiments that you need to learn during your undergraduate studies can be implemented here.

The five of them worked hard without sleep or food and made a full sprint.

They all held their breath in their hearts.

"We must not let Principal Li down!"

When the Chinese delegation was full of confidence because of Wu Youxun's presence.

The Sakura Country, separated by a river, is now plunged into gloom and desolation.

Inside the Tokyo Imperial University, Jun Ishihara and Yoshio Nishina did not look very happy.

In this internal test, the results of the five contestants from Sakura Country were not very ideal.

So, as the head and instructor of the delegation, the two were looking for the reason.

Ishihara Jun asked with a serious expression:

"Xiaocun, tell me, what is so difficult about the question?"

Shinji Komura was a little scared that he had disappointed his two mentors.

But he was also helpless because he had already tried his best.

"Professor Ishihara, the Olympiad questions are very different from the exercises I usually do."

"It seems that there is no special training in this area in our education in Sakura Country."

“So for a while, it was difficult for me to change my thinking on problem solving.”

Jun Ishihara was obviously dissatisfied.

"Don't say you haven't seen this type of question before. The whole world has never seen it before."

"Everyone is starting from scratch, why do you find it difficult?"

Faced with doubts, Shinji Omura also became angry.

"I just don't believe that with the strength of the Chinese team, they can get into the top three."

"Perhaps Li Qiwei will deliberately leak the test questions to their Chinese students."

Upon hearing this, Yoshio Nishina became furious.

"Baga, shut your mouth!"

"Who are you? How dare you smear Professor Li Qiwei?"

"His realm is beyond your imagination."

"Don't insult a great scholar with your narrow-minded thinking."

"If you can't do well on a question, you can only blame yourself, not anyone else."

"You are carrying the glory of the Great Sakura Empire on your shoulders. From now on, practice like crazy."

Shinji Omura was frightened by Yoshio Nishina's momentum.

He stammered and couldn't say anything.

In the end, I could only honestly say "Ha Yi".

He couldn't understand why Senior Yoshio Nishina was so protective of a Chinese.

No matter how powerful Li Qiwei is, he is still from a weak country.

How can it be compared with the Great Sakura Empire?

Unfortunately, with his thinking, he would never be able to understand Yoshio Nishina's thoughts.

Yoshio Nishina had long regarded Li Qiwei as a perfect opponent.

He vowed to surpass the other.

He would not allow anyone to insult Li Qiwei.

Because that would also be an insult to Yoshio Nishina's dream.

And he is an extremely arrogant person.

That's why he scolded Omura Shinji harshly.

"What do you know?"

"Professor Ridgway's thoughts are as deep as the ocean."

“Everything he did was to advance the scientific community.”

"But underneath his modest appearance, he was indifferent to everyone."

“I can feel the gaze of a king from above.”

"Especially when he came to Sakura Country to give a speech, the feeling was even stronger."

"I have a feeling that Professor Li Qiwei will do something even more earth-shattering in the future."

"The Physics Olympiad is just the beginning."

At this moment, no one knew what Yoshio Nishina was thinking.

He has studied Li Qiwei too deeply.

Even facial expressions, personality, and casual remarks are within the scope of his analysis.

However, any tricks are futile in the face of Li Qiwei's brilliant path.

Yoshio Nishina was destined to have a tragic ending.

India.

This magical country is currently even more chaotic than our country.

Therefore, there is no unified official organization responsible for this competition.

They were all spontaneously organized by authoritative leaders in the scientific community.

The post of head of the delegation naturally fell to Raman.

Because he was one of the only two Indian scientific scholars who had communicated with Professor Bruce.

As for Bose, he is still too young to be the person in charge of this competition.

Raman is much calmer than Jun Ishihara and Yoshio Nishina.

He has no requirements for the Indian students participating in the competition.

"You just need to answer the questions seriously and do your best."

Suddenly, Raman said to one of them:
"Rancho, you are actually very smart."

“You have strong innovation and hands-on abilities.”

"The simple conductive device you made to play a prank on your classmates that day was very good to me."

"Your physical talent is visible to the naked eye"

"It's just that I hope you can use your mind on the right path."

Rancho touched his head awkwardly.

His teammates Raja and Farhan were covering their mouths and laughing secretly.

Rancher said, "Professor Raman, I think the Physics Olympiad's assessment of students is one-sided."

“Learning should not just be about doing exercises, but about doing things that interest you.”

"If it's just to get a high score on the test, what's the point?"

Raman got a headache instantly.

This kid Rancho is good in every way except that his thinking is too unconventional.

He always believed that the current education system, even the so-called most advanced education model in the West, was a constraint on students.

He even said that the education system created by Ridgway was only "engineer education" rather than real "scientist education."

Raman couldn't defeat Rancho in debate anyway.

So, he said helplessly:
"Hey, kid, I can't beat you in an argument."

"It just so happens that you will be able to meet Professor Bruce during this competition at the Science City."

"You can ask him in person."

"I believe Professor Bruce can explain your doubts."

When Lan Che heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"The famous Professor Bruce. I can't wait to meet him."

“I am so curious about his experience and achievements.”

"He is such a smart person, he must know what the best education is, why would he settle for second best?"

Rancho didn't care about the competition at all, he just wanted to discuss more macro issues with Li Qiwei.
-
Asian countries such as China, the Land of Sakura, and India are actively preparing for the competition.

As for the Philippines, the movement has now died down.

The more joyful the dancing was before, the more deafening the silence is now.

At this moment, Li Qiwei was in Wuya Hall, thinking about the competition questions.

In order to maintain fairness and impartiality, he needs to share the topics with the leaders of each country in advance.

If everyone has no objection, it will be officially confirmed as the competition topic.

Therefore, delegations from various countries will arrive in the City of Science on June 6.
