Liu Lang returned to the library again and sat there with his eyes closed to relax. The coolness of the air conditioner calmed down his mood.
"Clang clang clang!"
With three heavy bells ringing, today's first set of exams was completed.
"Everyone stand up!"
A staff member immediately shouted.
There were people from different countries and different languages present. The organizing committee specially called several translators. They all stood next to the team members who needed to be translated and conveyed various orders in a timely manner, so there was no problem in communication with everyone on site.
.
All the athletes stood up, one team from each country, and walked to the first floor under the guidance of the staff. At this time, the group that had just finished the exam had left, and the papers were collected and sealed by the staff. There were also other tasks
The staff placed signs on the table. There was a large sign with the name of each country, and then there were small signs with the names of the players on them, all in the characters of the corresponding countries.
The work was done in such detail that it would probably not have been possible without the participation of the National Association of St. Paul University Colleges.
"Dear players, please take your seats according to the names on the sign!"
A staff member said, while digital translators also informed the players individually.
Liu Lang found his seat and sat down quietly, but the table was a bit high for him, so he could only kneel on the stool.
There's nothing we can do about it. These tables are arranged for teenagers around ten years old. Even though Liu Lang is older than his peers, he is still equivalent to the height of an ordinary seven or eight-year-old child. Compared with other young players, the shortest ones are even taller.
He was half a head taller. There was an American player who was over 1.8 meters tall, almost half a body taller than him.
"Just make do with it, it won't take too long anyway!"
Liu Lang doesn't care about these small details.
"I will announce the rules now. The exam time is one and a half hours. There is a clock on your upper right. Everyone can see that it is 10:20. The exam is on time at 10:30. No cheating is allowed during the exam.
Once found, you will be immediately disqualified from taking the exam. You can go to the toilet during the period, but our staff will accompany you throughout the process. At twelve o'clock, the bell will ring. You must stop writing immediately and stand up immediately. If you violate the rules, the test paper will be invalid.
That's the rule!"
This staff member communicated in English, and every sentence he spoke was conveyed simultaneously by several translators in different languages.
"Okay, there are still five minutes left. If anyone has any questions, you can raise your hand and ask!"
The rule is so simple that no one questions it.
Soon, more than a dozen staff members distributed the test papers to the contestants' desks. Even the test papers were written in the languages of their respective countries. However, the test papers for the Chinese contestants were in traditional Chinese characters instead of the simplified characters commonly used today. Fortunately,
Traditional Chinese characters are not difficult to read, and even some unfamiliar characters can be understood through context, so the Chinese players did not raise any objections.
"Okay, everyone can answer the questions!"
With an order, everyone picked up their pens and started writing. There was no other sound in the examination room except the swishing sound of writing.
The current test is physics. Counting Liu Lang, China has five contestants. Not far away, the Australian team has seven contestants, two more than China.
Seven contestants is the upper limit of the number of places allowed to take the exam in a single subject, but Liu Lang believes that they may not be better than himself. These people from China are all students in the juvenile class, although many of them are not majoring in physics.
, but after all, I have studied college physics, and coupled with the intensive training in the past few months, I believe that I still have a great advantage in this age group of teenagers.
But it doesn't matter if others don't do well in the exam, Liu Lang can handle them all by himself.
Liu Lang picked up the pen and was not in a hurry to write. He took a look at the test paper. There were six questions in total, covering various knowledge points in basic physics, such as mechanics, electricity, magnetic fields, optics, and even one question involving planetary gravity. Basically, except for the theory of relativity
It is involved in both the outside world and the quantum world, but it is not very difficult, at least in Liu Lang's opinion.
Just by glancing at it, the ideas for solving all the problems came out, and the rest was just calculation. But calculation is Liu Lang's strongest skill, so why should he still use pen to calculate? He just did it verbally.
But this is a world-class exam. You can't just write down the answers directly. You have to write down the steps clearly step by step.
More than ten minutes later, Liu Lang had finished writing all the questions, and he must have scored full marks.
Looking at the others, some were thinking hard, while others were constantly checking calculations on scratch paper. In more than ten minutes, the most powerful one was probably able to answer two questions.
Liu Lang put his pen on the table and raised his hand.
A staff member was standing five meters away from Liu Lang. When he saw Liu Lang raising his hand, he immediately came over.
"What's the matter with you?"
The other person asked in English.
"I'm done typing, hand in the papers!"
Liu Lang also answered in English.
"Have you finished answering?"
The other party was shocked. He finished his answer in just a few minutes? No way!
This person took a look at Liu Lang's paper. It was densely written on it. Indeed, all the questions had been completed, but there was not a single word on the paper next to it.
"This child is too young. He just scribbles a few strokes and gets distracted. He is really making trouble!"
The other party thought that Liu Lang was writing nonsense, and was very unhappy: Why did these Chinese people find a child to take the exam? Do they really regard this Intellectual Olympics as a kindergarten?
Athletes for this Intellectual Olympics do not need to be selected at different levels like the Summer Olympics, but are selected by the country. Each subject can have up to seven people. This selection system may miss some potential athletes, but it is undoubtedly the case for each country.
The best player, but China actually sent a seven or eight-year-old child, which made the opponent a little angry.
"Now that you've finished writing, give me the paper and you can go out!"
The other party said coldly.
Liu Lang jumped off the stool and walked towards the door.
Everyone in the examination room looked at Liu Lang, and the Chinese contestants suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: Okay, Liu Lang is the first in today's examination!
They know Liu Lang's brain. He can solve the questions that others spend ten minutes on in ten seconds. As long as he hands in the paper, it means that everything is foolproof. With Liu Lang, the strongest candidate, backing him up,
The other Chinese players no longer have any worries. Instead, they feel relaxed and their thinking speeds up a lot.
But the contestants from other countries were dumbfounded: What happened? How long did it take? It must have been less than twenty minutes, and he had already finished his answer?
Most people thought that Liu Lang knew nothing, but this also affected their mood, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Liu Lang walked out of the examination room without caring what others thought.
Lu Mingzhi and several teachers were waiting at the door. When they saw Liu Lang coming out, they were slightly startled, and then hurriedly gathered around him.
"So fast? How about it?"
Lu Mingzhi asked.
"No problem, full marks!"
"Haha, okay, we've won! But this is just the preliminaries, there's still the second round of rematches...! Oops, you have to take the chemistry test in the afternoon, right? Lao Du, take Liu Lang back for a meal and a rest!"
