The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology
Chapter 394 Satellite Launch Base, Bringing Glory to Ancestors
On October 1, 1991, the Harbin Institute of Technology student honor guard conducted their daily flag-raising ceremony at the flagpole, attracting many students and teachers to watch.
Wang Duoyu also brought Wang Junhong and several other children to watch.
The Harbin Institute of Technology's honor guard is probably the best among all universities in the country, after all, they raise the national flag every day, and their training is just as rigorous as that of the honor guard in Beijing.
Moreover, the Harbin Institute of Technology's honor guard has a large reserve of personnel, and new recruits are recruited every September after the start of the new semester.
"One, two, one, two, one, halt!"
After watching the flag-raising ceremony, Wang Junhong and his friends marched home, chanting slogans and kicking in formation.
Before long, Wang Yifei, Wang Junkang, Li Qizheng and the other children with short legs fell several steps behind.
There was no other way; the children had short legs, while Wang Junhong was the same size as an adult.
Li Rongrong, Lu Yuening, and Wang Junan are all about the same height, around 1.4 to 1.5 meters.
So it's definitely not fair that those kids have to go and march in formation.
No matter how much the little ones made a fuss, Wang Duoyu just stood aside and watched with a smile.
Yuan Zuliang and Mou Xiaowu would also be there to correct the children's movements. Seeing how seriously the children were learning, Wang Duoyu was even more gratified.
In response to the national call, we should strive for all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor.
Exercise is a must; you definitely can't be lazy about it.
If he were to raise his child to be a complete bookworm, Wang Duoyu would definitely not be happy, because it would mean that there was a problem with his parenting methods.
"Dad, can we go out to watch the game tomorrow?"
After returning home, Wang Junan suddenly asked.
These words elicited different reactions from Lu Yuening and the other children.
Wang Junhong is less inclined to watch football league matches because he wants to go fishing on the Songhua River.
On the contrary, the little ones like Wang Yifei prefer to play in crowded places.
"You can go if you want. Your mom will take you. I'm going fishing tomorrow."
"Daddy, I want to go fishing too!" Wang Yifei immediately changed her mind, raising her little hand and saying in a clear voice.
Liu Xiaoli came out of the house and laughed as she scolded, "You little sycophant!"
"Hehe, Mom, then you're such a flatterer."
Haha!
Upon hearing Wang Yifei's words, Wang Duoyu clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.
Even the children, including Li Rongrong and Wang Junhong, laughed.
Only Liu Xiaoli glared at Wang Yifei fiercely, and then punched Wang Duoyu a few times.
The joyful time passed quickly, and after a quick packing, the family prepared to set off.
Today is National Day, and the whole family went on an autumn outing.
This should be the last trip before winter arrives.
That's how it is in Harbin anyway.
After all, the city will start providing heating in October.
The weather will get colder day by day from now on.
This doesn't feel like the South at all; it's still summer here.
Wang Duoyu and his friends went on a picnic nearby. There was no fishing there, but they could go hiking.
There are no mountains around Harbin; the closest mountains are all quite far away.
Unfortunately, Wang Duoyu and his group actually went to the suburbs this time, and they would even spend the night there.
Hiking is physically demanding, but Wang Duoyu's family is fine; they exercise quite often.
In addition, the mountain this time was not high, with an altitude of less than 200 meters, and we only walked a distance of less than 3 kilometers.
So it's very easy.
Even a little kid like Wang Yifei could easily accomplish this.
After her birthday in August, Wang Yifei will be four years old.
The four children in the family are growing up day by day.
Including Wang Duoyu's two younger sisters' six children, they are also growing up very fast.
It's estimated that it won't be long before the two sisters, Wang Meili and Wang Meihe, each send over a little one.
Both sisters did this: they raised their children until they were one or two years old, then left them with Wang Duoyu.
This turned Wang Duoyu's house into a miniature kindergarten.
The next day, Wang Duoyu and his family went fishing on the Songhua River.
No sturgeon was caught because Wang Duoyu didn't put any bait on the hook; it was purely a case of "fishing for fish, and those who are willing will take the bait."
The current National Day holiday is only two days long, and there are still many years to go before the so-called National Day Golden Week.
After the holiday, Wang Duoyu's life returned to normal.
On the 3rd, Liu Deben brought Lü Gongliang with him to find him.
"Duoyu, the results of the competitions in all provinces and cities across the country were released at the end of last month. The national finals will be held in the middle of this month, and we have made all the necessary arrangements."
"There are quite a few good prospects this time, Duoyu. Could you relax your requirements a little this time and not set them too high?"
Wang Duoyu laughed when he heard this:
"That won't do. The requirements should be what they should be, otherwise many people will be dissatisfied."
"And it's not fair to the previous students either."
"However, this is indeed the first time I've recruited students below the undergraduate level. We'll have to see how they perform in the upcoming competitions and training camps."
"By the way, my eldest son will also be participating in this competition. I won't be involved in the competition questions; the Ice City Advanced Research Institute will help with that."
hiss!
Liu Deben and Lü Gongliang both gasped, especially the latter, who asked in surprise:
"You mean your eldest son, Wang Junhong, will also participate in this competition?"
"Yes, but don't overthink it. I'll take care of everything. Besides, this time it's a combination of computer-based grading and manual review, and it's anonymous, so nobody can get special treatment."
Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Liu Deben and the other man were left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Putting aside his claims about the computer altering the questions, the fact that his eldest son also participated in the competition is the biggest injustice to everyone else.
After all, Liu Deben and the other man knew that Wang Junhong was a very talented child.
I attended the lecture last year, and I will be participating in the International Mathematical Olympiad next year.
Although it is unknown whether Wang Junhong can win the gold medal in the National Mathematical Olympiad, with his own talent, the assistance of Wang Duoyu, and the influence of his environment since childhood, he is naturally much better than many others.
So, isn't it bullying to make Wang Junhong participate in this competition?
However, judging from Wang Duoyu's expression, it was clear that the matter was already settled and could not be changed.
Unless Wang Junhong makes a mistake and fails to place in the competition.
However, is this possible?
Skipping over this topic, Liu Deben took out a document and said:
"Duoyu, Ma Sijie, the dean of the School of Aerospace Engineering, has proposed a plan to build a satellite launch base in the suburbs of Harbin to train our own students."
In the original timeline, Harbin Institute of Technology did not have an official launch site.
However, it does possess strong capabilities and technological expertise in education and scientific research.
But now, in 1991, Ma Sijie, who had just been promoted to dean of the School of Aeronautics, immediately released a plan to build a satellite launch base.
Wang Duoyu was stunned after hearing this.
Harbin Institute of Technology is indeed wealthy, but even with money, this is not how you spend it.
"Old Liu, Old Lü, what are your thoughts?" Wang Duoyu asked calmly.
Although he was surprised by Dean Ma Sijie's audacity, he had to admit that if this matter were to be accomplished, Harbin Institute of Technology's status among universities across the country would rise dramatically.
The idea of Harbin Institute of Technology building a research base on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was already outrageous enough.
But that research base was originally built because Wang Duoyu promoted the telescope project, and this was just a natural progression.
However, this satellite launch base project was proposed by Ma Sijie.
Since the other party has proposed such a project plan, it must not be just empty talk.
"Given our school's current funding, there is sufficient capacity to build a satellite launch base."
Liu De hesitated for a moment, then said:
"However, building such a launch base in Harbin is completely unacceptable."
The earliest and largest missile and satellite launch center in China is located in Jiuquan, Gansu. In addition, we have the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Liangshan, Sichuan, and another launch center in Taiyuan.
As for the Wenchang Space Launch Site and China Eastern Spaceport in the original timeline, those are things that happened after the millennium.
It was only 1991, and there were only three launch centers in Jiuquan, Xichang, and Taiyuan.
As is well known, one of the conditions for building a satellite launch base is low latitude.
Because of the low latitude, the linear velocity is high, the initial velocity of the spacecraft is high, which saves fuel and reduces launch costs.
The city of Harbin is located at a high latitude, so this condition is not very suitable.
Secondly, it is best to build satellite launch bases in places with dry climates, little rainfall, mostly sunny weather, and high air visibility.
And open, flat terrain.
Apart from its high latitude, Harbin has other conditions that are quite suitable for building a satellite launch base.
Liu Deben disagreed because the area surrounding Harbin is mostly plains. While there are indeed many open areas, most of them are cultivated farmland and are not suitable for building a launch base.
On the other hand, Harbin is quite close to our neighbor.
Everyone understands it.
Therefore, Liu De was worried that building such a base in Harbin would easily cause trouble.
"Old Lu, what do you think?"
Wang Duoyu nodded, then looked at Lü Gongliang.
The latter's opinion was similar to Liu Deben's, but he did not believe that a satellite launch base needed to occupy a lot of farmland.
Besides, if cities need to develop, won't they also encroach on farmland?
There is always a trade-off; that's inevitable.
Hearing this, Wang Duoyu nodded and said:
"It seems you have some major differences of opinion. If you ask me, you could discuss it first, and if that doesn't work out..."
"Just let the higher-ups know. Anyway, I don't think we can make the decisions on this matter ourselves."
Building a satellite launch base is no different from other projects, so it can't be done haphazardly. It's not something that Harbin Institute of Technology can just build whenever it wants; it must be approved by higher authorities.
Hearing Wang Duoyu say this, Liu Deben and the other man nodded.
They already had a general idea of what Wang Duoyu was thinking, and he probably didn't want to get involved in the matter.
Even though this is a big deal for Harbin Institute of Technology, he probably found it troublesome.
As for whether the School of Aerospace Engineering will become the number one school at Harbin Institute of Technology after it has a satellite launch base, thus snatching the top spot from the School of Mathematics.
There's no need to worry about that.
As long as Wang Duoyu remains in the School of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology, no other school can surpass the School of Mathematics.
Afterwards, Liu Deben and his companion chatted with Wang Duoyu for a while before leaving.
That evening, Wang Duoyu received a phone call from Zheng Baoyin.
"Uncle, things are in chaos again in Africa."
Zheng Baoyin was talking about Hornzoi's experience in Zaire and the subsequent response strategy.
Having almost been double-crossed by the local warlord Ingen, Hornzoi was naturally unwilling to swallow this insult.
Therefore, he has applied for weapons and personnel to assemble in northern Zaire, and has also instructed Lanstark to collect all information on Ingen.
Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu immediately understood Hornzoy's idea.
Even if we completely eradicate that powerful warlord, so what?
Aside from making the local area more chaotic, it doesn't seem to have any other effect.
Want Want Group is in it to make money, not to do anything locally.
If possible, we could develop land there or something.
Isn't Rwanda nearby? They can easily grow rice and other grains there.
Labor is very cheap locally; as long as you have something to eat, you're pretty much set.
Of course, the most profitable investments in the local area are mining and hydropower construction.
If possible, go to the Rand Central Gold Mine in South Africa. If you can get a stake in the mine, you'll be rich.
"You can make the arrangements yourselves; I only care about the results."
After thinking it over, Wang Duoyu decided not to intervene.
Whether Africa is in chaos or not is not up to anyone to say.
From the Age of Exploration in Europe to the time before Wang Duoyu's time travel, the continent of Africa has always been turbulent and unstable.
This land has a population of over one billion and a land area of over thirty million square kilometers.
But despite its vast size, there isn't a single major power on this continent.
In terms of area, Algeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan are all countries with an area of two million square kilometers.
In terms of total economic output, South Africa ranks first with a GDP of US$1239 billion, followed by Nigeria with a GDP of US$68 billion.
Why is this so?
While there are many factors that contribute to this situation, one of them is that they are simply not diligent enough.
Furthermore, the control of this continent by a large amount of capital has resulted in the situation we see today.
chaos!
"Okay, uncle, I understand."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Baoyin immediately understood.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately notified Joe Thomson, asking him to contact Hornzoie as soon as possible.
At this time, Joe Thomson was in northern Zaire, at Facebook's temporary headquarters.
After receiving the notification from Hornzoi, Joe Thomson headed straight for the northern region.
Ingen, this great warlord, has indeed gone too far and should be eliminated.
After hanging up the phone, Joe Thomson smiled and said to Hornzoie:
"Alright, now my BOSS has told me that we should do everything we can to eliminate Yin Gen and take his assets as compensation."
"Furthermore, the BOSS also mentioned that we need to develop a new super dollar channel in Zaire to purchase more minerals and other resources from there."
Upon hearing this, the latter nodded solemnly:
"That's no problem. Zaire lacks everything except warlords. After we eliminate Ingen, I will arrange for Lanstark to carry out missions and develop more channels. Don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Joe Thomson's smile widened.
Soon, news came from Lanstark that he had figured out the entire distribution of Ingen's wealth and the assets he held.
With just a single order, they could seize all of Yin Gen's wealth for themselves.
Just as Hornzoi and his men were preparing to take action, in central Zaire, there was a warlord named Monkto.
Cholu, the most trusted man under the Ingen warlord, was actually an undercover agent sent by Monkto.
The Zairean warlords do not live in peace, but rather compete with each other.
"Monkto, that's the general situation. Please make your decision. They will most likely make their move in the next few days, or they might even make it today."
After receiving Cholu's call, Monkto's expression immediately became quite interesting.
Because if he really gets involved in this matter, he could very well take over Ingen's territory.
Of course, he could also wait until those Americans take out Ingen before seizing territory.
However, this could easily lead to unforeseen circumstances, as Zaire is home to many warlords, such as Basoko, which is located north of the town of Befalai and near the Ubangi River.
Compared to the great warlord Ingen, Bassoko, though he only had a little over three thousand guns, was a man who knew how to use his brain.
If we're simply talking about how difficult he is to deal with, then Bassokobi Ingen is a step ahead.
In any case, Monkto would rather face Ingen than deal with Basok.
"Do Bassoko and the others know about this?"
“Monkto, I can confirm one thing: I have only been in contact with the Americans so far. Ingen doesn’t know about this yet. I’ve only told you. But whether the Americans have contacted other warlords, I don’t know for the time being.”
"Okay, I understand. I'll hang up now and let you know once I've made a decision."
After hanging up the phone, Monkto immediately summoned his strategist.
After discussing it, the two decided to take the initiative to contact the Americans and eliminate Ingen, the warlord.
As for the fact that it borders Bassoko's territory, what does that have to do with it?
In the world of business, every success is built on the bones of countless others.
If you don't want to compete with others, then just go home and be a good boy.
On the other side, when Lanstark saw Cholu come to his door again and said that the warlord Monkto wanted to help the Americans take down the big warlord Ingen, his expression remained unchanged, but he was quite surprised.
“Good, very good. Thank you for informing me of this news. But how strong is Monkto?” Lanstark intended to find out Monkto’s strength before proceeding.
If Monkto is willing, then let the other side be the vanguard, while their Want Want Group will provide backup.
In any case, there is chaos everywhere in Zaire right now, with warlords rising up in rebellion in various places.
Since that's the case, then if we can make use of it, let's make good use of it.
"Not bad, over four thousand guns in total. Although not as many as Ingen, it's not bad either."
Upon hearing this, Lancelot nodded and said:
"Okay, I need some time to think about it. How about you wait for me outside for half an hour?"
Qiao Lu nodded and then walked out of the room.
Lanstark immediately called Hornzoi, who, upon hearing this, naturally agreed.
Hornzoi also suggested:
"If this Monkto does a good job, then we don't mind supporting him, making him a major warlord in northern Zaire, and making him our agent in Zaire."
Supporting agents is a very appropriate and safest approach.
Zaire is such a large place with so many warlords. From a practical point of view, supporting proxies would be more in line with the interests of the Want Want Group here.
Furthermore, once they have a larger territory, Monkto can also develop local mineral resources, which Want Want Group can then purchase at a low price, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop.
As for getting the other side to unify the entire Zaire, well, they certainly wouldn't agree.
Besides, there are countless arms dealers making a living in Zaire.
From Somalia in North Africa to Zaire, Sierra Leone, and South Africa, the entire African continent is in a state of chaos.
Arms trading is the easiest business to do here, bar none.
There are many arms dealers around the world, such as those in Europe and the military-industrial complex in the United States.
The weapons produced by these arms dealers certainly require a large market.
If it weren't for the Gulf War, which depleted California's military supplies, American arms dealers would be even more rampant in the current situation, whether it's the Sierra Leone civil war or the Zaire civil unrest.
"Okay, BOSS, I understand."
Lanstark agreed, and Hornzoi looked at the phone and smiled.
Cholu quickly called Monkto and arranged to take action that evening.
The latter was immediately surprised to hear how quickly it had happened.
But the opportunity is rare. The longer they delay, the more likely Ingen will discover something, and Basok may appear in Bornde.
In the town of Befalley, Hornzoie, Joe Thomson, and others were ready and set off after nightfall.
As soon as the time came, Monkto's side fired their guns, and Hornzoi's side also opened fire.
hiss!
The fierce firepower left Monkto's men dumbfounded.
To be honest, Monkto also purchased a large number of rifles from the Americans, such as the Winchester M1894 lever-action rifle, the Springfield Model 1873 rifle, the Lee-Enfield .303 caliber rifle, and the Sharps M1859 rifle.
These firearms would definitely be outdated in the United States; they're old guns.
But in Africa, they are still incredibly powerful firearms with tremendous firepower.
Monkto himself used the M16 rifle, which was the second-generation rifle adopted by the United States after World War II.
The M16 rifle is characterized by its high rate of fire, high accuracy, and ease of operation. Even in later generations, it remains an important weapon for modern armed forces.
This also shows that Monkto's firepower was not bad.
However, in the face of cannons, everything is just an illusion.
Moreover, Hornzoy and his men also possessed formidable firepower, including RPG-7 rocket launchers, mortars, AVS36 assault rifles, PPD submachine guns, and Maxim M1910 heavy machine guns.
Hornzoi greatly admires or firmly believes in a quote from Wang Duoyu: "In the face of overwhelming firepower, all beings are equal."
He had never met Wang Duoyu; he only learned about it from Wang Jianchao, Zheng Baoyin, Li Efra, and others.
However, this does not diminish Hornzoi's admiration for Wang Duoyu's words.
Therefore, when he came to Africa to work, the treatment he received was mainly suppression by firepower.
Bang bang bang!
The fierce firepower poured down like a torrential downpour.
Monkto and Cholu were stunned and deeply wary.
These Americans are so damn rich, they treat bullets like they're nothing.
"rush!"
Startled, Monkto quickly issued orders to launch an attack.
At this point, he needs to prove his strength; otherwise, he won't be able to stand up to the Americans.
To be fair, the power of a mortar is truly formidable.
Hornzoi, Joe Thomson, and Lanstark were all very satisfied with these mortars; they were simply divine weapons.
Mortars proved their worth during World War II, and even after all these years, they haven't been phased out.
Even before Wang Duoyu traveled through time, mortars had not been phased out and remained a commonly used firepower weapon on the battlefield.
According to incomplete statistics, 80 percent of casualties in all wars worldwide are caused by artillery fire.
Half of them came from mortars.
This also shows that the mortar's power and convenience are indeed maximized.
Under Hornzoi's orders, the first round of artillery fire covered the entire town of Bornde, which was near the camp of the great warlord Ingen, and was bombarded by mortars.
Countless casualties!
Moreover, it was a calculated attack, launched under the cover of night, which was a complete one-sided massacre.
The battle lasted less than two hours and ended quickly.
However, to Monkto's great anxiety, Ingen had not been found, neither his body nor his body.
Either Ingen escaped under the cover of night, or he was blasted into thin air by the shockwave of the cannon.
But Monkto believed more likely that Ingen, the warlord, had just gotten incredibly lucky, getting up in the middle of the night to urinate and then taking advantage of the chaos to escape.
Otherwise, there's no way to explain why his body disappeared.
"Don't worry about him. Even if Ingen really escaped, he can't amount to anything on his own. There's no need to be concerned."
Hornzoi waved his hand dismissively and urged Monkto to hurry up and collect all the spoils.
Hornzoi certainly didn't need guns and ammunition, but he had to take gold, minerals, and other assets with him.
On the African continent, the most valuable things are things like gold; everything else is worthless.
While Hornzoi and his men were busy collecting and sorting the spoils of war, the powerful warlord Bassoko, located in the area north of the town of Befale and near the Ubangi River, also received the news.
Basco is located not far from the town of Bornde.
With the sounds of gunfire filling the air, how could Bassoko not hear them?
"what's the situation?"
The underlings he sent out to gather information returned quickly, and Bassoko hurriedly inquired about it.
"A large number of people gathered in Ingen's territory. I saw Monkto's men and the Americans. They must have joined forces to swallow Ingen up."
Upon hearing this, Bassoko's expression changed drastically.
If Monkto gains American support, then other warlords in northern Zaire are likely to suffer.
The first to suffer was Basok, which was very close to Ingen's territory.
After a moment of contemplation, Basokhod did not hesitate to send someone to inform several nearby warlords that they needed to discuss how to overcome this crisis.
Hornzoi is unaware of these circumstances, and even if he were, he wouldn't care much.
Under the cover of fire, all beings are equal; this statement is an absolute truth.
Any demons or monsters are nothing but paper tigers under the powerful suppression of firepower, and are not worth fearing.
Besides, this is the African continent; how many people here are war geniuses?
The reason Wang Duoyu allowed Zheng Baoyin and his group to run the arms business recklessly in Africa was precisely because of these reasons.
First, the Gulf War depleted a significant portion of the US military-industrial complex's ammunition depots; second, there were very few people in Africa who knew how to fight.
In the original timeline, a Chinese university student who went to Africa for an overseas assignment was unexpectedly taken away by a local warlord.
This college student is really something else. After safely returning to the company, he even offered advice to the warlord.
In just a few years, this warlord's power grew from a few dozen guns to tens of thousands of guns, which was incredibly impressive.
Many warlords in the vicinity were terrified at the mere mention of the college student's name and fled in droves.
This is a blatant example of dimensional reduction attack.
Isn't Rwanda, a neighboring country near Zaire, the same?
As long as you copy the homework, you won't have to worry about not living a happy and fulfilling life.
In Dafang County, in the southwest region, on the campus of a middle school.
The phone in the principal's office suddenly rang. It was a call from Guiyang, the provincial capital, which the principal answered.
After hanging up the phone, the principal went out with great joy.
A few minutes later, the principal called Zhao Jice to the corridor and said with a kind smile:
"Congratulations to Zhao Jice for bringing honor to our school."
The homeroom teacher next to him was also grinning, because this meant great merit, and a promotion and a raise.
Zhao Jice was a little confused, but he quickly understood.
It turns out that the results of the exam he took earlier have already been released.
He actually won first place in the province and qualified to participate in the national competition.
"Study hard, keep up the good work, and come back with the top score in the country to bring glory to your ancestors!"
Listening to the principal's encouraging words, Zhao Jice just smiled and remained silent. He didn't know the gap between himself and his peers, but he was very clear about it.
If he wants to leave the mountains, he must continue to study hard.
Mathematics is his only asset; otherwise, given his current imbalance in his studies, it would be almost impossible for him to get into university.
After all, the score for mathematics is only 150 points. He could indeed get a perfect score, but there are also subjects like Chinese, English, and integrated subjects. Mathematics only accounts for one-fifth of the total score.
So his dream of getting into university and leaving the mountains through math was just that—a pipe dream.
Since that's the case, he must seize this opportunity to represent the entire province in this national mathematics competition.
A week later, Zhao Jice and the principal took a train to the provincial capital.
After meeting the teachers in the provincial capital, he stayed overnight in the provincial capital. The next day, he bid farewell to the principal and, together with the teachers and another participating student, took a plane to Harbin.
"Zhao, is this your first time flying?"
Another contestant was named Jiang Weimin, and he was a chatterbox.
After getting to know Zhao Jice, I would chat with him from time to time.
The plane had already taken off, and Zhao Jice was extremely nervous because it was his first time flying. Jiang Weimin told him to relax and focus on other things, and he wouldn't be nervous.
"Airplanes are the safest mode of transportation in the world. Did you enjoy that push-back feeling? Next time I'll take you to the amusement park for a few rides, then you won't be afraid to fly anymore."
As expected of a chatterbox, Jiang Weimin kept talking.
Zhao Jice finally calmed down, thanked the other person, and then looked out the window.
However, the novelty of flying for the first time quickly wore off.
Because there's really nothing to see outside the window.
Moreover, he went to Harbin to participate in a competition. If he can win first place in the country, he may be able to travel by plane frequently in the future.
So he quickly closed his eyes to rest and thought about the questions he had looked at before.
After a short flight of just a few hours, the plane quickly landed at Yanjiagang Airport in Harbin.
After boarding the bus that came to pick them up, Zhao Jice watched the car slowly drive out of the airport, and outside was a bustling metropolis.
The ice city sits atop the vast plains, and Zhao Jice, arriving on the plains for the first time, was utterly awestruck.
Because you can't see any mountains at all when you look out.
This wasn't Jiang Weimin's first time visiting the Great Plains, so they adapted quickly. They were chatting with teachers and students from other provinces at the moment.
"Is this what a big city is like?"
It is the most economically developed city in the country, and its GDP ranks first among all cities in the country every year, and it is also among the top in Asia.
Zhao Jice felt like he didn't have enough eyes to see everything.
Harbin is too developed.
The road was perfectly smooth and clean.
Looking into the distance, you can clearly see many tall buildings.
As the bus drew closer to the Harbin Institute of Technology's Weizigou campus, skyscrapers began to appear in increasing numbers.
Although they were just ordinary office buildings of thirty or forty stories high, in Zhao Jice's eyes, this was a super bustling metropolis.
"Welcome to Harbin Institute of Technology. This is the hotel we have prepared for all of you. Please take your luggage and personal belongings and follow me to the hotel reception to check in."
Finally, the bus stopped at the entrance of one of the five-star hotels near the entrance of the Weizigou campus.
Representatives from Harbin Institute of Technology got out of the car and guided Zhao Jice and the other participating teachers and students to the hotel lobby to complete the relevant procedures.
The magnificent hotel lobby was so stunning that Zhao Jice and his companions couldn't take it all in.
At this moment, Zeng Xueyao and Yang Wenchuan had just stepped out of the elevator, chatting and laughing as they prepared to stroll around the Harbin Institute of Technology campus.
The appearance of this perfect couple immediately attracted the attention of Zhao Jice and Jiang Weimin.
However, Zeng Xueyao and the other woman only glanced at Zhao Jice and the others before looking away.
"With so many people coming to participate in the competition again, Yang Wenchuan, aren't you scared?"
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm only excited."
Zhao Jice also overheard Zeng Xueyao and Yang Wenchuan's conversation. Surprised, he was immediately spurred on by their fighting spirit.
Zeng Xueyao and Yang Wenchuan walked out of the hotel, crossed the road, and soon arrived at the gate of Harbin Institute of Technology.
It's a pity they didn't bring a camera, otherwise they could have taken some photos to remember the occasion.
Harbin Institute of Technology is a top university in China and the dream school of Zeng Xueyao and her friends.
However, without a certain score, it's impossible to get into the mathematics department of Harbin Institute of Technology.
"I wish I could get into this school."
"Don't worry, Yang Wenchuan, you will definitely pass the exam."
"I'll lend you some good words."
The two entered the campus and immediately asked someone for directions: how to get to the Mathematics Department?
"Students, our school doesn't have a mathematics department, only a mathematics college. If you want to go to the mathematics college's teaching building, just follow this road straight until you see Mingyuan Lake. The building on your left is the one with 'Mathematics College' written on it."
"Oh, okay, thank you, senior."
"Senior brothers? Are you freshmen?"
Zeng Xueyao and Yang Wenchuan were immediately embarrassed, as they were no longer students at Harbin Institute of Technology.
Calling someone "senior brother" is simply because they are older.
"We're here to participate in the competition; we haven't been admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology yet."
"The Math Olympiad? You'd better do your best. This year's Math Olympiad is said to be the strongest ever. I heard that Professor Wang's eldest son is also participating. Hehe, you probably won't be able to get first place."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wenchuan immediately asked, unconvinced:
"Which Professor Wang? His son, is he very good at math?"
The number of people with the surname Wang in the whole country is definitely more than 50 million, if not 100 million.
At Harbin Institute of Technology, there are definitely no fewer than ten professors with the surname Wang, so Yang Wenchuan did not immediately think of Professor Wang Duoyu.
The senior student from Harbin Institute of Technology looked at Yang Wenchuan and his companion meaningfully and said:
"You've definitely heard of Professor Wang Duoyu, right? But you probably haven't heard of his eldest son, Wang Junhong. He's also very talented in mathematics; he passed the assessment the year before last and is eligible to attend his father's lectures."
At Harbin Institute of Technology, there is an unwritten rule that if you want to attend Wang Duoyu's lectures or monthly math sharing sessions, you must pass an assessment.
How old was Wang Junhong two years ago?
He actually passed the assessment and was allowed to attend the report meeting.
Despite some speculation that Wang Duoyu had given his son a free pass.
However, many people are more inclined to believe that Wang Junhong has such mathematical talent.
After all, Wang Duoyu is known for his strictness, and he has only had twelve students over the years, which is enough to show that he is indeed very strict.
Therefore, it's highly unlikely that Wang Duoyu would ruin his reputation. It's probably because Wang Junhong has such talent that he was allowed to attend the classes.
Zeng Xueyao and Yang Wenchuan were both speechless: "What? He's Professor Wang Duoyu's son?" (End of Chapter)
