Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 39: An examination of Yang Ning's strength, a lineup that makes people's scalp tingle ( words, please support)
Thinking back to the information Director Wang had just revealed, Yang Ning felt full of gratitude and a heavy sense of responsibility.

The higher-ups actually gave special instructions to the street leaders for their own affairs.

At this moment, Yang Ning deeply felt the feeling of being cared for, and a sense of mission arose spontaneously.

The next day, Yang Ning carried the luggage prepared for him by Yang Liushi and embarked on an unknown journey under the reluctant gaze of his parents.

"Professor Dong!"

After arriving at school, Yang Ning went to Professor Dong’s office first.

"Xiao Yang, you're here so early?"

After seeing Yang Ning, Professor Dong was stunned for a moment, then pointed to a stool beside him and said, "Please sit down for a while. Our escort will be here soon."

"You want to come too?"

Yang Ning put down his luggage, poured himself a cup of tea with ease, then sat down and looked at Professor Dong and asked.

"No, I'm just accompanying you to take the exam today. You are the protagonist."

Professor Dong looked at Yang Ning and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous later. Just answer whatever they ask and try your best to demonstrate your abilities. Don't hide anything this time. This is related to your future after graduation."

"So serious?"

Yang Ning put down the teacup. He originally thought that he was being asked to participate in some major project, but he didn't expect it was just to test his abilities.

But an inspection can't make Professor Dong explain himself so seriously, right?
Yang Ning was a little confused at this time.

"I can't tell you more. You will know it when the time comes." Professor Dong obviously knew something.

Seeing this, Yang Ning didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, the roar of a car engine came from downstairs.

"Okay, let's go!"

Professor Dong stood up, said something, and walked out. Yang Ning quickly followed with his luggage.

"Excuse me, are you Professor Dong and Comrade Yang Ning?"

When Yang Ning and his friends went downstairs, a young man in his twenties with a flat head and wearing a Zhongshan suit immediately came up to them and asked.

"It's us. Thank you for your hard work, comrade."

As he spoke, Professor Dong took out his ID and handed it over.

The young man took it and took a look at it, then glanced at Yang Ning who was following behind Professor Dong. It was obvious that he had already seen the photos of the two of them.

After confirming the identities of Professor Dong and Yang Ning, the young man with the flat head returned his ID to Professor Dong, then took out his own ID and showed it to Professor Dong.

After both parties confirmed that everything was correct, Professor Dong opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. Yang Ning hurriedly opened the back door and sat in with his luggage.

None of the three spoke during the journey. It was unknown how long they had been going on. Anyway, Yang Ning was confused. Then the car drove into a yard. After some inspection, the car finally stopped at a three-story building. The flat-headed guy said to the two, "We're here!"

“So that’s it!”

Professor Dong got out of the car, took a look at the small building, sighed, and strode inside.

Well, it seems that Professor Dong is returning to his old place.

Yang Ning quickly got out of the car and followed him. The two of them entered a meeting room under the guidance of a staff member.

"Haha~ The boss is finally willing to show off his treasure that he has kept hidden for several years. It's not easy!"

As soon as Professor Dong entered, Yang Ning behind him heard a hearty laughter coming from inside.

"Mr. Hua (although Mr. Hua is not as old as Professor Dong, I will use the honorific here), you are slapping me in the face, when did I hide it?"

Professor Dong replied without a smile, then opened the door, walked in, found an empty seat and sat down.

At this time, Yang Ning also saw the scene inside clearly. Just seeing the two people made Yang Ning's heart almost rise to his throat.

Because these two people have appeared in history textbooks of later generations, one is the mathematician Mr. Hua, and the other is President Guo.

When Yang Ning walked a little closer and saw the people in the room clearly, his head started buzzing.

Although there aren't many people inside, with Professor Dong and Yang Ning being the only eight of them, isn't this a bit excessive?

The teacher of Mr. Qian and others, the pioneer of rabbit nuclear physics, Miss Qiu’s grandfather, Mr. Zhao, the rabbit beggar.

Yang Ning is somewhat familiar with Mr. Qian, the Dean of Academic Affairs of Wudaokou Technical School.

Yang Ning glanced at the last person and didn't recognize him as a middle-aged man with a square face and round glasses, but he didn't dare to look at him any more. Since he could sit with these big shots, he must be no simple person.

There was also a young woman wearing a Lenin suit and with short hair sitting in the corner. It was obvious that she was the recorder.

Even though he was used to big scenes, Yang Ning was still a little nervous at this moment.

As for that, even in ancient times, there wouldn’t be such a big fuss about the imperial examination!

Ancient culture, mathematics, physics, nuclear physics, plus Professor Dong, a big shot in the field of mechanics, and another person who looked no simple figure, six masters gathered together. This scene made Yang Ning feel tremendous pressure from the beginning.

At this moment, Yang Ning glanced at Professor Dong, who was sitting there chatting and laughing with someone Yang Ning didn't know, his eyes full of resentment.

Can't you give me a little hint? How do you want me to deal with this situation? This is making things difficult for me, Benboba.

Dean Guo, who was sitting opposite Yang Ning, laughed when he saw Yang Ning's nervous expression, and pointed at Professor Dong who was still chatting enthusiastically with others: "Old Dong, you just leave your precious student there like this, if you don't want her, then I won't be polite!"

"Go, go, go!" When the amiable Mr. Hua heard that Dean Guo was planning to snatch him away, he hurriedly pushed him and said, "I have been paying attention to Xiao Yang for a long time. It would be a waste for him to follow you given his talent. Xiao Yang, how about coming to my place and sitting down?"

"You guys, one by one, really think that there is no one in our Wudaokou Technical School." Dean Qian smiled, picked up the teacup, glanced at the embarrassed Yang Ning, and said gently: "Xiao Yang, don't be nervous, we are just joking."

Then he glanced at Dean Guo and said, "Okay, we are all very tight on time, so let's get this done quickly. Look how nervous Xiao Yang is."

After hearing this, President Guo coughed twice, and the entire conference room fell silent instantly.

"Okay, now the test begins!"

After President Guo said this, the atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly changed and became very solemn.

Although the entire conference room is just an old, paint-chipped long table and a few equally worn-out chairs.

However, due to their identity as the examiner, although the colors were slightly different, they were all wearing the same uniform Zhongshan suit.

Well, with the female comrade in the corner who was already ready, Yang Ning felt even more nervous than when he took the college entrance examination in his previous life.

"Comrade Yang Ning, now we have an important task for you to perform, but before that, we need to give you a simple test. Everyone here will be the examiner this time. Are you ready?"

"Ready at all the time!"

"Good!" Looking at the handsome, passionate young man in a neat Zhongshan suit, President Guo couldn't help but think of Mr. Liang's poem "On Young China".

"If the youth are wise, the country will be wise; if the youth are strong, the country will be strong..."

It is the greatest comfort to their generation that a talented young man can join the construction without hesitation.

But before that, I have to find out more about this little guy.

According to the information, Yang Ning's greatest characteristics are his extraordinary memory and calculation speed.

But because he was too young, and there was a lot of work to be done at the time, and there was a war in the north, so there was no rush to conduct rigorous tests on this little guy. Now that society has stabilized and the war has largely ended, construction has become the top priority.

Now that Big Brother’s support has been agreed upon, it’s time for this little guy to play his part.

"I heard that you finished reading all the books in your school library in two years?"

The reason why President Guo mentioned this question here was to see how much Yang Ning could remember.

If Yang Ning could remember all these books, then his importance would have to be re-evaluated.

"Yes!"

Yang Ning answered confidently that in the past two years at school, apart from studying professional courses, he spent almost all his time in the library.

At the beginning of the liberation, the school library had a collection of about 41 books. After 52, due to the school reform, another 18 books were transferred out of Wudaokou Technical School. Even though another batch of books was transferred in later, the entire library of Wudaokou Technical School now has a collection of only about 25 books.

If a book has 1 pages and all the images are scanned, T of storage can store one million books.

If converted into a text document, it can store 500 billion pure Chinese characters.

Even if some of them require image scanning and mixed with plain text document records, the memory in Yang Ning's brain is enough to remember all the books in the school library.

“How much of these books do you remember?”

"All."

"all?"

After hearing Yang Ning's answer, even though the people present were knowledgeable, they were still shocked by his answer.

Even the little recorder in the corner widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Yang Ning curiously.

"Comrade Yang Ning, do you know what this conversation of ours represents?"

Dean Qian was afraid that Yang Ning would speak nonsense to save face, so he asked him again in a serious tone.

"I can take responsibility for what I said."

Yang Ning said with a firm look on his face.

"Well."

Dean Qian saw that he was still insisting, while his teacher Professor Dong sat there with a calm look, as if the little guy was not bragging.

So he moved a box from under his feet, opened it, and found it was full of books.

"I was thinking of bringing more to see if there is anything you can remember, so that I can use it as information to examine you."

"Since you said you remembered everything, that saves us the trouble of looking for it."

After saying that, he pushed the box in front of Dean Guo and said, "This part is your responsibility. Come on!"

Dean Guo flipped through it casually, then looked at Yang Ning seriously and said, "There are more than 40 books in here. You have to think carefully. Am I really being casual?"

"Please advise!"

Yang Ning said calmly.

"Okay then." Dean Guo casually pulled out a book, showed the cover to the people present, then looked at Yang Ning and asked, "Did you see the title clearly?"

"See clearly!"

"Okay, page 43 of this book, memorize it."

Dean Guo flipped a page at random, then looked at Yang Ning while holding the book and said.

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, Yang Ning had memorized the content word for word, and fearing that they couldn't hear clearly, he used a broadcasting voice throughout.

After Yang Ning finished reciting, Dean Guo looked at him in surprise, then picked up another book at random, not believing it.

"Page 79 of this book!"

Then Yang Ning recited it word for word.

Except for Professor Dong who had known about this for a long time, everyone else present gathered behind Dean Guo, staring at the book in Dean Guo's hand and listening to Yang Ning's recitation.

After Yang Ning finished reciting, Mr. Zhao couldn't wait to take out a book, flipped through it and said to Yang Ning, "This book is from page 36 to page 44."

Because this book is about science and involves drawing, Yang Ning took out a brand new notebook while reciting it, drew the drawings related to the content on it, and gave it to Mr. Zhao for inspection after he finished reciting.

Mr. Zhao took Yang Ning's notebook and knew what was right and wrong at a glance. After checking it several times, he did not find any mistakes. Even the curve curvature and constant indicators were exactly the same as in the book.

After the inspection, he looked at Yang Ning with emotion and said, "If I had your ability back then, I wouldn't have to be exploited by those hawkish capitalists for sixteen hours a day, and I would be able to bring back more technologies that are useful to us."

After Mr. Zhao finished speaking, everyone else fell silent.

They all knew that what Mr. Zhao was talking about was a few years ago, when he watched the nuclear test conducted by the Eagle Sauce and became determined to build our own atomic bomb.

Unfortunately, we had nothing at that time, and we had to use only $50,000 to get an accelerator worth more than $400,000.

Mr. Zhao worked 16 hours a day at Yingjiang's house and spent four years to build an accelerator that only cost $.

Even so, he encountered many obstructions from the Eagle Sauce on his way back to China. Even the soap he brought with him was not cut into pieces for careful inspection. They were even detained in Jiaobenji for several months.

Although he finally returned, several people who returned with him were still detained, including the well-known Qian Wushi, who was also a student of Mr. Zhao.

After learning about this history, Yang Ning also felt deep respect for these ancestors. It was because of their courageous struggle under such difficult conditions that we can stand tall in the world in the future.

At this time, Dean Qian discovered that Dean Guo's eyes were full of light when he looked at Yang Ning.

"Xiao Yang, your talent is perfect for the protection of ancient culture. Why don't you consider working with us after graduation?"

"President Guo, although you are the leader, you should know what we need most. Please don't worry about it."

Except for President Guo, everyone present was a master of science and engineering. Seeing that President Guo was trying to poach their talents, the others tacitly joined forces to squeeze out President Guo, a scholar, first.

"Okay, we're still investigating." Professor Dong patted the table to remind them, but his behavior was seen as showing off by others.

"Do we need to test Comrade Yang Ning's memory?"

After Professor Dong spoke, the others returned to their seats, not knowing whether they just didn't want to see him showing off or had other thoughts.

"no need!"

What else is there to study if it's like this? The books just mentioned cover three completely unrelated subjects: politics, history, and physics. Unless Lao Qian and Yang Ning are in cahoots, there's no need to continue.

But everyone present here is a comrade of high quality, and no one would do that.

The next examination was what these people were concerned about, so everyone looked at Mr. Hua, because he would be the next examiner.

　Today is Tuesday. I beg those readers who have read this far to turn the page again. Thank you so much!
