Chapter 167 It Seems that I Am Indeed Too Strong

At 8 a.m. on the third day, the five-hour competition officially started.

There are three theoretical questions, each worth 10 points.

The moment Wu Bin finished reading the question, he had an idea.

"Huh? That simple?"

The first question was about modern physics. It asked about the correction of the theory of relativity of the GPS system, involving the general theory of relativity. The question seemed to be confusing and confusing, but after thinking about it for a while, Wu Bin used the historical facts from the general theory of relativity. Vasil easily dropped in seconds.

The following thermodynamics and electromagnetism questions were not difficult to say. Wu Bin only spent more than two hours completing these two questions, even though he was not comfortable using the calculator provided by the organizer.

This made him a little confused.

‘Am I too strong, or are these questions really weak? ’

But Wu Bin looked up and saw that most of the candidates around him were frowning, looking like they couldn't hold it in any longer.

Others simply raised their heads and let themselves go, as if asking God how to solve this problem.

‘Hmm… It seems that I am too strong. ’

The theory test lasted for 5 hours, and Wu Bin, who still had a lot of time left, sat in his seat and ate the snacks provided by the organizer, although the original purpose of the snacks was definitely not to pass the time for the candidates...

After the theoretical exam was over, the organizer once again organized all the students to travel to a place called Giethoorn. On the way, Zhang Fu first asked: "Do you find it difficult?"

"fine."

"Okay."

"generally."

"It's a bit difficult..."

The four people answered almost at the same time, and then four pairs of eyes looked at Xue Nan who said "it's a bit difficult".

"Don't look at me like that... I'll quit the group on my own." Xue Nan entered the "autistic" state after saying this.

At this time, Zhang Fu quickly smoothed things over and said to Xue Nan: "We shouldn't have discussed the issue in the first place. It's just that I asked because I was curious. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

However, this comfort was of no use to Xue Nan. He still expressed clearly that he was very hurt.

So the other people stopped mentioning the exam and started discussing the pastoral beauty of the Netherlands.

But what surprised Wu Bin was that those Western brothers were still happy while playing, as if they were not the ones who suffered internal injuries during the morning exam.

‘Could it be that you’ve suppressed all the answers? ’

Anyway, Wu Bin had a relatively pleasant afternoon. He enjoyed the beautiful scenery and ate local snacks, which made him very satisfied.

One day after the theoretical test, the leaders of each national team were busy revising the drafts, passing and translating tomorrow's experimental questions.

The students stayed in the park to move around freely.

"No wonder my senior told me that the main purpose of participating in IPhO is to travel, and then take time to compete during the trip." Sitting in the restaurant, Gong Chengwei complained while eating a salad.

Wu Bin: "Anyway, I'm personally looking forward to the experimental questions tomorrow."

Zhang Fu, who was eating bacon, nodded and said, "It seems that the highlight of IPhO is the experimental questions. Last year, we did one that measured the birefringence of mica sheets, which was quite interesting."

Gong Chengwei: "I guess I should take the elective exam this year. I haven't taken it in several years."

"You guys got up really early."

While Wu Bin and the others were chatting, their tour guide and senior Wang Gaojie came over.

"Good morning, Brother Wang." Several people greeted him one after another.

"Hey, I told you not to call me brother, just call me by your first name." Wang Gaojie said as he put down the dinner plate and started cooking.

Zhang Fu: "How can that be done? There is a difference in seniority."

Wang Gaojie smiled after hearing this and said, "Okay, where do you plan to go today?"

Wu Bin: "How about taking a walk around the school? I'm also very curious about the atmosphere of foreign universities."

"Okay, I've been here twice, so I'm somewhat familiar with the terrain. I can still show you around."

So after breakfast, the group walked around the University of Amsterdam. On the way, Wang Gaojie told them a lot of interesting things about IPhO.

For example, Korea was disqualified twice in a row due to cheating. I heard that their country’s team leader left the team leader’s station privately at night to meet with students in the student dormitory.

What is this concept? You must know that what the team leaders are translating are exam questions.

Wu Bin and the others couldn't help but marveled after hearing this. They actually did such a little trick in such an international competition. Well...how should I put it? Instead of doing whatever it takes for honor, it is better to spend more effort on education.

There is also a Hungarian boy named Istvan. This guy won the individual first place in IPhO last year, and he did it again this year.

Zhang Fu: "It's really good... Do you plan to get another piece?"

"Otherwise, are you coming to travel?" Gong Chengwei rolled his eyes at Zhang Fu.

After hearing this, Zhang Fu shook his head: "It doesn't exist. This year, with Wu Shen here, we won't be able to fall to others for the first place."

"Hey, why did I suddenly start to breastfeed while we were chatting?" Wu Bin, who was accidentally lying down, immediately waved his hand.

"I saw it during the theory test. In the second half, you were basically drinking tea and eating cake. You just didn't have to ask the staff to give you another one."

"Ahem... you're hungry." Wu Bin said haha.

At this time, Wang Gaojie looked at Wu Bin and said: "Hey, it seems that your teammates are very confident in you. I hope you can stand up for our country. Although you were first in the group last year, IPhO is after all an individual competition." There is no official team award for the competition, so it’s always a bit of a pity.”

"Well, I will try my best." Wu Bin nodded.

During the chat, the six of them came to the football field of the university and found that there were many competitive students playing football, so they ran over and asked the classmates who were sitting next to watching the game, and found out that it was Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Italy who were playing against Brazil and Uruguay. Argentina Colombia.

After watching the game for a while, Wu Bin and others' thoughts that "maybe the top students in the competition did not inherit their country's will in playing football" were shattered by a super long-range shot from the Brazilian boy.

"Slip away, slip away."

"Racial talent, racial talent."

"We are here to compete in physics!"

…

After wandering until evening, Wu Bin and the others finally visited the entire University of Amsterdam, and found that the biggest similarity between it and the 985 universities in China is that they both have huge libraries.

Sure enough, no matter which country it is in, the number of books collected can always represent part of the strength of a university.

After dinner, a group of big brothers from the West came to warmly invite Wu Bin and others to their party.

Wu Bin was wondering if they were also staying in a hotel, so where could they have a party?

But Wang Gaojie woke him up with just one sentence.

"It's a Western party, just drink and that's it!"

So the five people, who were all too drunk, politely declined the invitation and chose to go back to the room to read.
