Liu Lang didn't just take the exam for physics. He took the three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry together. It can be said that he had to take the exam every day for these five days. Not to mention his mental strength, his physical strength alone was a great test for him. He must hurry up.
Rest at all times.
After Liu Lang left, the test papers were sent to the third floor of the library by two staff members.
This library is a Baroque-style building, similar to a medieval European castle. The first floor is a spacious reading room, with an area of more than 1,000 square meters, which can accommodate more than 400 people reading at the same time. The second floor is also a reading room, but the area
The top floor is much smaller, and the top floor is only more than 300 square meters, and is not open to the public. It is used for the school professors to read and write. When you are tired, you can go to the lounge to drink some coffee.
On the third floor, there are more than a dozen people sitting together and chatting. They are all young, the youngest is in his forties, the oldest is in his sixties, there are white people, yellow people,
There are also two black people. These people are physics professors from various universities in the United States, and they are not just ordinary people. They were invited here to serve as judges this time.
"Those American kids are pretty good. I think they have the potential to become physicists. So can those kids from island countries... Their education level has been very high in recent years! The foundation is very solid. The worst one is Egypt.
Those contestants failed to answer half of the questions. I went to Egypt seven years ago. The country was still relatively wealthy at that time, but it has plummeted since the president was assassinated five years ago. The country is unstable and its education will suffer.
What an impact!”
A white professor said while drinking coffee.
After the first group of exams, the test papers were brought up, and everyone was assigned some papers. In less than half an hour, all the papers had been judged. In their eyes, these test questions were really not difficult at all.
"Professor Payton, you are right. The foundation of education is the stability of the country. If the country's political situation is unstable, the foundation of education will be destroyed, and the destruction of the foundation will undoubtedly make the country fall into a vicious cycle. Egypt is
For example, if they continue to be in such chaos, I am afraid it will affect the fate of a generation."
Another black professor echoed.
"I don't think there will be peace there. This is not a matter of their country, but a matter of religion. There will never be peace between the Lord and God. This is the root cause!"
A white professor shook his head and said.
"The country of Italy has not calmed down for so many years. They fight this country today and fight that country tomorrow, but their education has never fallen behind... I think it is still the problem of the ruler. A far-sighted ruler will never shake the foundation.
, Egypt is much worse in this regard!”
said another.
Several professors discussed the current political situation in the world together.
However, there was a Chinese professor sitting quietly in the corner, reading a thick book carefully and taking notes, indifferent to other people's discussions.
"Professor Ding, you are Chinese. This year is the first time for mainland China to participate in the Olympic Games. Can you predict what results they can achieve?"
A person looked at the Chinese professor in the corner and asked.
Everyone's eyes also fell on the other person. This Chinese professor was called Ding Huaizhong, and he was a famous figure in the entire physics community.
They are all judges of this Intellectual Olympics. They were invited by the Sao Paulo University Association. Each of them is not mediocre. Although their academic level is not first-rate in the country, there is no problem in reaching the second-rate level, but they are not as good as it.
This Professor Ding, his academic ability has not only reached the world's most advanced level, but more importantly, he is also a Nobel Prize winner in physics and a visiting professor at Stanford University. With this honor alone, I am afraid that these people here
You can't get it after a lifetime of hard work, and the other person is less than forty years old now.
Logically speaking, scientists of Ding Huaizhong's level are participating in the world's top physics conferences, and the topics discussed are not accessible to ordinary people, let alone ordinary professors. Although this Intellectual Olympics is also a world-level competition,
The participants are all under thirty years old. In this age group
Very few people have obtained doctorate qualifications, and they have almost no academic achievements. A master like Ding Huaizhong may be interested, but he will never come to serve as a judge in person. However, Ding Huaizhong took the initiative to apply to participate and even named him.
Being a judge for the Chinese delegation makes many people confused.
Ding Huaizhong was looking at the secretary and taking notes. When he heard his colleagues asking him, he slowly put down the pen.
He was wearing a suit, with yellow skin and dark eyes. His appearance was no different from that of a Chinese person, but his eyes were more calm and wise.
"Are you asking what results the Chinese delegation will achieve this time?"
Ding Huazhong asked.
"Professor Ding, you really never forget to study at all times... Not only the Intellectual Olympics, the Summer Olympics will be held soon. We are all very curious about what results this mysterious country will achieve when it participates for the first time.
You are Chinese and should know China very well. You can make some predictions. If it makes sense, we can go to a bookmaker to place some bets!"
A black professor said jokingly.
"Well, how should I put it? We are all physicists. We usually do research and experiments. All results must be based on experimental results. This is the first time for the Chinese delegation to participate. I don't have any
Test results, without results, I can't make a judgment, so it's useless for you to ask me!"
Ding Huaizhong spread his hands and said.
"Haha, Professor Ding, you are really interesting. Making predictions using physics methods doesn't work!"
One person laughed.
"Yes, yes, Professor Ding, we are not discussing academic research now, we are discussing the issue of China's strength. We know nothing about this country. We only know that China has a "red sun", and you are Chinese. Since childhood,
Living in China, I definitely know more about this country than we do, so let’s talk about it!”
China has a vast territory and a large population. It has a very long culture and is one of the five permanent members of the current society. It stands to reason that everyone should understand this country. However, in the past thirty years, China has been firmly self-imposed.
Few people know what they are doing and how they live. Occasionally, reporters enter this mysterious country for interviews. What comes out is only news about poverty and backwardness. Because they don’t understand, many people are interested in it and hope to hear something.
The discussion of "authority".
Ding Huaizhong understood what the other party meant, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "I haven't been back for more than thirty years. I know about modern China about the same as you do, but I know more about history than you do."
There are more. For example, China not only has a "red sun", but also Confucius, Laozi and Zhuangzi. These people are all world-class intellectuals, and the books they wrote are no worse than the Bible.
In addition, China has four great inventions, among which gunpowder and the compass were later introduced to Europe, bringing the light of civilization to Europe. Because of these four great inventions, China has been the most powerful country in the world for more than a thousand years.
Especially the Tang Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to call it the capital of the world. Ancient China, ancient Egypt, ancient India and ancient Babylon were also called
It is one of the four ancient civilizations. It was only in modern times that it gradually declined because it failed to catch up with the industrial revolution and closed itself off to the country. Later, it experienced wars. While it made important contributions to World War II, it also paid a huge price. These are all factors in China's decline.
The reasons are not all subjective, but more of them are caused by objective reasons!”
Ding Huaizhong certainly knew the history of his country well, so he took this opportunity to educate these "foreigners" about it.
