Eight professors asked nine questions, and Liu Lang's answers satisfied them all. Moreover, three professors also rushed to get Liu Lang. The facts have shown Liu Lang's true strength. There is no problem for him to become a graduate student at Stanford University.
Even if Professor Claire deliberately makes things difficult at this time, even if Liu Lang cannot answer the questions, I believe others will not think that Liu Lang is not qualified.
To be honest, Liu Lang's outstanding performance completely exceeded Professor Ding Huaizhong's imagination... Also, when Liu Lang applied for the electric furnace project of the Sao Paulo Cultural Federation, he had already shown maturity and stability that belied his age. That was in 1984.
Now, in the past two years, it seems that Liu Lang has not wasted at all in these two years. He has mastered a whole range of skills. Today, when he finally showed it, he was immediately astonishing.
"Liu Lang, my name is Sam Claire. I am sixty-one years old this year, fifty-five years older than you. You are younger than my grandson. Do you Chinese think that everyone is a child prodigy like you?"
"
Liu Lang looked at each other. Before the interview, Professor Ding Huaizhong specially introduced Professor Sam Clare. He is a tenured professor in the School of Engineering and the head of the Stanford National Power Laboratory. His main research project is power systems, such as
Car engines, aircraft engines and even rocket thrusters, we can be said to be the first-class experts in this field.
But he has a really bad personality, has a bad temper, is stubborn, and is extremely strict. This harshness has even caused a huge psychological shadow for many students. For example, graduates of other professors only need to be in the second grade of the country when they graduate.
It is enough to publish two papers in first-class journals, but his students must publish papers in first-class journals, otherwise they will not be allowed to graduate.
Is it so easy to publish papers in national first-level core journals? For example, "Nature Magazine", Einstein's paper on relativity was published here. Not to mention students, even ordinary professors may not be able to publish papers in them in their lifetime.
Published papers in first-level national journals.
There is nothing wrong with having high requirements, but they must be within their capabilities. If every doctoral dissertation in the United States could reach the level of a first-class journal, then the talent level in the United States would exceed the sum of all talents in other countries. Obviously, this is impossible.
It takes almost five or six years to study for a Ph.D. with Claire before you can graduate. However, once you graduate, you will be sought after by large companies. Several technical executives from several companies in the world, such as McDonnell Douglas Aviation and General Motors, are among them.
They are his students, so there is no problem with his teaching level. However, because Professor Claire has a very irritable character, even though those students have achieved great achievements under his guidance, they do not have a good personal relationship with him.
Okay, obviously these people have been tortured so much by this teacher that they have shadows in their hearts.
But for Liu Lang, Professor Claire's major is very attractive. He is the head of the National Power Laboratory! He is exposed to the world's top power science, and this is what the country needs most.
If we say what is the top machine in mechanical engineering, there is no doubt that it is the engine. Whether it is a car or an airplane, engine technology is the brightest pearl in the mechanical crown. As long as you master this technology, other technologies will be
It will be solved easily. Thirty years later, the country's automobile industry is still pretty good. There are many automobile companies, but these companies have never been able to break through the technical difficulties of engines. The brands can only be at the low-end level, compared with the United States, Germany, and island countries.
Very different.
Of course, this was nothing for Liu Lang, and he had to solve Professor Claire's problem first.
"Liu Lang, your answer just now is pretty good, at least it makes sense, but these questions are really simple and don't mean anything!"
Claire said while holding her glasses with her hands.
He offended the previous professors with just one sentence, but the others did not refute him, or even look at him. At Stanford University, the name Sam Clare is a smelly and hard stone, and he is treated
His best way is to stay away.
Liu Lang didn't say a word, just looked at the other party with a smile.
"Did your Huaxia University in China teach you engine technology?"
The other party asked again.
"Professor Claire, China's industrial level is very backward, and many basic industries are much worse. However, the scientific research level of Huaxia University is still good. Our country has an old Jiefang Automobile, which was produced in 1956. As of last year, a total of
One and two million vehicles have contributed greatly to the industrial development of our country. These cars are equipped with CA-10 engines and are all manufactured in our own country."
Liu Lang replied.
"CA-10 engine? I know it's from a Soviet car called GIS. It has a 90-horsepower 6-cylinder gasoline engine, a maximum power of 70 kilowatts, a load capacity of 4 tons, a top speed of only 65 kilometers per hour, and fuel consumption.
It’s very high, it consumes nearly 25 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers.”
Claire explained the parameters of this engine like a treasure trove.
"In fact, this kind of car consumes thirty liters per 100 kilometers in our country!"
Liu Lang answered with a smile.
"Oh! Why is that?"
The other party was slightly startled, wondering why his answer was wrong.
"Our country's infrastructure is very poor and there are very few asphalt roads. The places where this kind of car travels are in the wild. Because the roads are so poor, the fuel consumption is higher!"
Liu Lang explained.
"Haha, I didn't expect this!"
This answer made Claire laugh.
"This kid Liu Lang has such a high emotional intelligence!"
Seeing Claire laughing out loud, everyone else was a little surprised. This guy always had a cold face. He seemed to owe him money. It was rare to make him smile!
"This kid is really a monster, a monster in a mess!"
Liu Lang's evaluation in everyone's minds has improved again.
"In mechanical engineering, the top technology is the engine. It is like the human heart. All the organs in the body are powered by it. Without the power of the heart, it is useless even if your limbs are developed. This is understandable.
,My question is very simple…………!”
Claire stood up immediately after saying this, walked to the front, took out a pen from her pocket, and started writing on the blackboard in front of the conference room. Although this was a conference room, there was still a plastic blackboard.
"What is this old guy going to do again?"
Everyone else looked contemptuous, and the other party's behavior was always so out of place.
Professor Sam Clare is also over sixty years old, and his gray hair makes him look older. However, his drawing skills are top-notch, and he quickly drew three pictures on the blackboard.
