Fang Changxing directly called the leader of the Physical Education and Research Department of Yangtze University and applied for electronic timing equipment. After all, the manual error was large and the wind speed could not be measured.
When the latter heard Fang Changxing finish talking about the cause and effect, he was confused for a moment. 9.97 seconds? How is that possible?
A 100-meter dash with a time of less than 10 seconds may sound like nothing unusual, but it is so difficult to run in!
There are currently 7.5 billion people in the world, but only about 10 people can run under 10 seconds every year about 50 times.
There are more than 220 countries in the world, but people from only 22 countries have ever broken the 10-second mark. And so far, no woman has been able to break the 10-second mark.
The most important thing is that the vast majority of runners who run under 10 seconds for 100 meters are of West African descent.
Currently, there are only more than 100 people on earth who can run 100 meters within 10 seconds, but more than 500 people have been in space!
It is not an exaggeration to say that running 100 meters in 10 seconds is more difficult than going into space.
At present, there is no athlete in China who can run under 10 seconds for the 100-meter dash. Even Liu Xiang, the "flying man", cannot break under 10 seconds for the 100-meter dash.
How could this be possible for a student who is not a track and field major and has no professional training?
Therefore, the first reaction of the leaders of the Teaching and Research Department was that Fang Changxing was joking.
Somewhat displeased, he said: "Xiao Fang, April Fool's Day has already passed, so it's inappropriate to make such a joke!"
Fang Changxing hurriedly said: "Boss, I'm really not kidding you. You know Su Zhensheng, the champion of the 100-meter dash in the National University Games. I just measured his time of 10.51 seconds. And Lu Yan's advantage is quite obvious, even if I do it manually
There is some error, but I believe it won’t be too big. I can guarantee that he will definitely be able to run within 10 seconds.”
When the leader of the Physical Education and Research Department heard what Fang Changxing said and thought about his past style, he felt that it was quite true.
Then I think that if Yangda can really produce a 100-meter sprinter who can break 10 seconds and bring glory to the country at the World Championships in the summer, they will also have a share of the credit!
I was a little excited when I thought about this, because in a comprehensive university like Yangda University, which focuses on academic research, it is really not easy for those who engage in sports to achieve some results.
Immediately said: "Okay, since you dare to guarantee it, then our teaching and research department will not be busy with anything else in the afternoon and test the student you are talking about!"
After hanging up the phone, the man gave an order, and more than a dozen teachers from the track and field team, and even a national-level coach, rushed to the sports ground with electronic timing equipment.
Speaking of which, sprint timing equipment is very advanced and complex in this day and age.
Once the competitor's feet are on the starting block and ready to start, the timing referee pulls the trigger of the starting gun, sending an electric current through the copper wire to the starting block and a separate timing platform.
The current will start the quartz crystal oscillator on the timing table. At the same time, the sound of the starting gun is amplified through the speaker of each player's starting block. In this way, all competitors can hear the starting gun at the same time, achieving fairness in the true sense.
Contest.
At the other end of the track, the laser signal is transmitted from one end of the finish line to the other end, and the light sensor at the other end will receive the beam signal emitted by the laser.
When a player crosses the finish line and the light beam is blocked, the electronic eye immediately sends a signal to the timing station to record the player's time.
At the same time, a high-speed digital camera installed parallel to the finish line will scan the image onto a narrow section at an astonishing speed of 2,000 times per second. When each runner crosses the finish line, the camera will scan the body that touches the finish line first.
The electronic signals from their parts are sent to the timing station to record their competition time.
There are still a lot of steps to follow. In short, we will do our best to make the observations and recorded data more accurate.
In comparison, Fang Changxing's record just now, which he only relied on waving his hand and pressing the stopwatch, was extremely unprofessional.
Fortunately, Su Zhensheng is not an ordinary person. Although he is not the best among the previous 100-meter sprint champions in the National University Games, his strength is there after all.
Lu Yan's ability to outrun this guy finally gave Fang Changxing some confidence.
Otherwise, he would never believe that Lu Yan could run for more than nine seconds.
After a short break, several leaders from the Physical Education and Research Department of Yangtze University, together with more than ten teachers from the track and field team, brought a bunch of equipment to the sports ground.
Some people installed starting blocks, high-speed cameras, and others measured wind speed.
Because in international competitions, in track events with a distance of 200 meters and below, as well as long jump, triple jump and other events, if the average wind speed exceeds 2 meters per second when the wind is flowing, the results will be valid, but will not be listed as any record.
Since it depends on Lu Yan's true strength, Feng Su also needs to be considered.
"0.9 meters per second, leader!" the teacher who measured the wind speed reported.
Xie Guotian, deputy director of the Department of Teaching and Research, who was not yet fifty years old, looked very young and vigorous, and said: "Okay, hurry up and get the timer device ready. In addition, students can watch, but we can't keep making noise like this, it will have a bad impact!"
The main reason is that Lu Yan and Su Zhensheng are both celebrities in the school, which is equivalent to two popular celebrities competing head-on. For many college students who find daily life boring, such an activity is really exciting.
Make friends one by one in the class group, fellow classmates group, and roommate group!
"Big news. Lu Yiyi and Su Zhensheng are competing in the 100-meter dash at the Xuanwu Stadium. The leaders of the Physical Education and Research Department are here. Come and watch, students!"
"Holy shit, is this really fake?"
"This sounds like fake news. Lu Yan practices martial arts, and Su Zhensheng practices sprinting and playing football. They have nothing to do with each other. They are better than sprinters, and they even hired a physical education teacher. It's ridiculous!"
"It must be because of women that two such outstanding men can face off. Is it because of Ruan Xiaoxiao?"
"I heard that Su Zhensheng's girlfriend Ye Qingcheng admired Lu Yan very much. They even had a quarrel because of Lu Yan. It must have been because of Ye Qingcheng!"
"Damn it, no, the news is so exciting!"
"But why do you want to sprint?"
"Because Su Zhensheng is the best at it. When it comes to money, he is definitely not as good as Lu Yan. When it comes to looks, the two are equally matched. When it comes to strength, Lu Yan definitely wins. It can't be compared to football, right?"
"I think it's okay. Su Zhensheng has a school team, but Lu Yan has money. It's exciting to hire some foreign players to play in our school!"
On the campus of Yangtze University, many students were making random guesses in the QQ group on their mobile phones while heading to the Xuanwu Stadium.
Ruan Xiaoxiao, who was originally renovating her company, also received a call from You Qi Xueli.
It is said that Lu Yan is competing with Su Zhensheng in sprinting at school. Now everyone is spreading the word. The two are competing because of a woman. I don’t know if it is because of her Ruan Xiaoxiao or Su Zhensheng’s girlfriend Ye Qingcheng.
When Ruan Xiaoxiao heard the news, her first reaction was confusion.
Her boyfriend was competing in a 100-meter dash with someone else, and she actually found out after being reminded by her roommate. Isn't this too heart-warming? She didn't even know she knew it!
