After getting up and having breakfast the next day, Liu Lang strolled towards Zhao Tianming's office building. There were still more than ten days until the start of school. The campus was still very quiet, with not many students. However, nearby residents often went to the campus for a walk.
, most of them are older people. These old people are gesticulating on the playground in the woods. It seems that they are practicing Qigong.
Soon, Liu Lang arrived in front of a building, which was the office of the school leaders. The office building that should have been deserted was now full of people coming and going, and there were several cars parked downstairs.
"Liu Lang, are you here?"
A young man came over.
He was Wu He's student Zhou Huairen, who would become the country's finance minister thirty years later.
"Brother Zhou!"
Liu Lang said hello.
"Go find Principal Zhao quickly, we are missing you now."
After Zhou Huairen finished speaking, he hurried out.
Liu Lang went upstairs and came outside Zhao Tianming's office.
"What? Professor Du hasn't arrived yet? He is a famous chemist in our country. He has also studied abroad and has knowledge of foreign countries. He must come!"
Zhao Tianming said loudly to someone.
"There are also these people, we must invite them all, no one can be missing!"
Zhao Tianming handed the other party a note and ordered.
"Okay, I'll contact them one by one right away!"
The other party took the note and left in a hurry.
"Grandpa Zhao, I'm here!"
Liu Lang opened the door and walked in.
"Liu Lang, you are finally back!"
Zhao Tianming hurried over.
"Grandpa Zhao, what's going on? I'm a student studying engineering machinery. Why are you asking me to participate in mathematics and physics competitions?"
Liu Lang asked.
"Hey... come on, sit down and drink some water first!"
Zhao Tianming poured a glass of hot water for Liu Lang and sat next to him.
"Liu Lang, there's nothing I can do. Not only me, but Director Lu can't do anything either. It was decided by the higher-ups...!"
Zhao Tianming told Liu Lang what happened.
The matter is not complicated. This time the Americans held the Olympics. However, in order to avenge the other party's failure to participate in the Moscow Olympics last time, the Soviet Union finally decided that they would not participate this time. At the same time, many countries in the alliance with the Soviet Union also boycotted and decided not to participate.
.
The relationship between China and the Soviet Union has been on bad terms for many years, but the relationship between China and the United States has been warming up in recent years. In addition, this is the first time that New China has appeared in the world, so you must attend it. It is also the first time since the reform and opening up.
A great opportunity to show the strength of the country.
However, many countries decided not to go to Los Angeles to participate in the Olympic Games. This still made the Americans, who claimed to be the world's leader, very unhappy, especially when another big country, the Soviet Union, did not come, which made him feel that his power was useless, so he thought
I came up with an idea to hold a global Intellectual Olympics sponsored by several large companies in the United States and invite young people under the age of thirty-five from all over the world to participate.
Similar competitions were only held in the Soviet Union before, but the participating countries were limited to brothers in the "socialist" camp. In the 1950s, when Sino-Soviet relations were still very good, the country also sent people to participate. Now Americans are
Holding a physical Olympics and an intellectual Olympics at the same time, facing the whole world, obviously has a strong challenge, that is, to defeat you, the Soviet Union, in both physical and intellectual aspects.
The country had already learned the news that the Americans were going to hold this Intellectual Olympics years ago, but the top management did not pay much attention to it. It is not accurate to say that they did not pay attention to it. They probably did not have much confidence, because the regulations were clearly written and required
Young people under the age of thirty-five participate.
People in their twenties and thirties are young adults, the peak period of life. Whether it is sports or scientific research, this age group is also the time when the most achievements are made. In terms of sports, the country has not relaxed even after ten years of catastrophe. For example, when you are in
The opportunity for the United States to establish diplomatic relations was table tennis, and table tennis diplomacy has become a good story in the history of world diplomacy.
But what about the development of science? Today, young people under the age of thirty-five almost all went to the mountains to plant trees and farm in the fields when they were studying ten years ago. The country has recovered.
The college entrance examination only lasts for six years. How can six short years be compared with more than ten years? Wouldn’t it make people laugh?
Therefore, the country was not very active in this regard at the time, but the latest situation emerged a month ago. Americans will divide participation in quizzes into a juvenile group under the age of 16 and a youth group between the ages of 16 and 35.
When they saw that there were children under the age of sixteen, the country's top officials immediately became interested.
Under the age of sixteen, isn't this a good time for those "prodigies" in our country to show their talents?
The college entrance examination was resumed in 1978, and a juvenile class was established in 1979 to recruit "prodigies". Most of these people entered college at the age of eleven or twelve, and the oldest was only thirteen years old.
It is now 1984, which means that, with the exception of a few exceptions, the group of youth class students recruited in 1980 are almost all under the age of sixteen, and the students admitted in 1981 are all under the age of sixteen.
Many foreign countries do not have any juvenile classes, and children under the age of 16 are still in high school. In other words, at this stage of the under-16 age group, the country still has an "overwhelming" advantage, which undoubtedly makes those senior officials see it.
Here comes an opportunity to "crush" foreign peers and once again inspire national pride.
So it was decided to immediately form a group of Intellectual Olympics teams, mainly from junior classes, to participate in this competition. At the same time, a group of junior high school students with expertise in mathematics, physics and chemistry were selected from all over the country.
As for Liu Lang, he was not in this team originally. After all, he was not studying related majors, but the leader of a certain ministry suddenly remembered him and said that if a four-year-old child participated, no matter what results he achieved,
Enough to shock the world, this proposal immediately gained support.
This is what happened, Zhao Tianming told Liu Lang exactly.
After hearing this, Liu Lang first scolded the leader of the ministry secretly, but what was the use of scolding him? After all, he was too evil.
"Liu Lang, it was also our school's fault that we did not seek your opinion in advance on this matter...!"
Zhao Tianming was afraid that Liu Lang would be unhappy and wanted to explain, but Liu Lang smiled and said: "Since the country needs it, I have no problem... But Grandpa Zhao, I can participate in the training, but I can't take up my own study time."
, at least it can’t take up my time to study professional courses.
, In addition, I still have a lot of things to do, such as discussing with Huaxia University about setting up a company. These things need to be done quickly, as well as the Yongli Group; there are also things about building robots, etc. Anyway, we can't delay, as long as the superiors agree.
If this is my matter, then I will participate!”
Liu Lang said and handed Zhao Tianming two more pages.
