Chapter 169 Invincible

"Can you have some collective ideas!"

"Do you understand what it means to advance and retreat together?"

"This is for national honor, why don't you go!?"

…

"You guys are poisonous, you're flying a kite and you're on the line!" Wu Bin, who was annoyed by Gong Chengwei and the others, yelled.

On the second day after the experimental competition, Wu Bin decisively chose the latter between continuing to travel and staying in the hotel to read a book.

However, several of his companions immediately couldn't stand it anymore and went abroad to read? What a waste!

And because Wang Gaojie went to his elder brother to help evaluate the test papers, Wu Bin, who had the best English, had to rely on Wu Bin to communicate with other teams. As for Gong Chengwei and the others...

It's okay to say hello and chat about daily life in English, but once the conversation gets deeper, you basically have to kneel down.

So they finally decided to drag it out! Drag Wu Bin away too!

"You guys are a little bit pursuing it, okay? Two days of watching the scenery is not enough. How can reading a book be as interesting as that!?"

"Okay, okay, we're not pursuing it. We're scumbags. You're a school idiot. Just stay with us. It's just for two days. After you're done playing, you can watch whatever you want when you return home. We won't bother you."

Hearing Gong Chengwei's low-profile request, Wu Bin had no choice but to sigh, pick up a "Concise Tutorial on Advanced Algebra" and walked out of the hotel with them.

While the students were having a good time, the organizer's special marking team was assessing the scores for this competition, and Wang Gaojie, a graduate student who can speak Chinese, was on hand to help the marking team understand the Chinese on the test paper. content.

When reviewing the experimental questions, Professor Cromwell, who was on the marking team, frowned. To be honest, in order to balance the differences between countries, the difficulty of the experimental questions this time was very moderate, but there were still many candidates who failed. Completed the experiment, much to his dismay as a physics professor.

After correcting another paper for Japanese candidates, Professor Cromwell took a pack of cigarettes and walked out the door. He happened to meet another marking professor who was also smoking.

"Leslie, you also have a headache?" Cromwell lit a cigarette and walked over.

After hearing this, Leslie looked back at Cromwell and nodded: "A little bit."

"Could you have made a lower-level mistake than failing to notice the symmetry?"

"That's not the case. It's just that many students did not mark the approximate position of the zero order of the diffraction center. As a result, the experimental results for determining the geometric parameters of a double-helix structure pattern were not within the optimal measurement range."

Cromwell blew out a smoke ring after listening: "This kind of carelessness is also reflected in experiments D and E. In the experiment, every time the water wave is triggered and before a stable surface wave is formed, the water surface will fluctuate violently, so even if a stable surface wave is formed, Without a stable surface wave, the signal received by the light sensor will still have a certain fluctuation range when the illuminance meter displays the reading, but these candidates obviously did not notice it, or not many students mastered dynamic measurement skills."

After a while, the two of them finished vomiting, put out their cigarettes, and continued back to the office to correct their papers.

Half an hour later...

"Leslie! Leslie!" Cromwell, who had a headache from revising the paper, suddenly shouted.

"What happened? Did you burn your hand with a cigarette butt?"

"No, no, no, come here quickly." Cromwell waved to him.

So Leslie put down his pen and walked over to Cromwell.

"Look at this paper." Cromwell handed a paper written in Chinese to Leslie.

Leslie took the paper and said, "As for you, the results of Chinese students have always been good. What's so good...holy!"

Looking at the rows of data on the data table, Leslie's eyes grew wider and wider until finally he sighed.

"I'm going out to have a cigarette."

Cromwell: "Wait a minute, I'll go too."

Wang Gaojie, who was left with a proud face, stayed where he was and was secretly proud of himself.

"This Wu Bin, indeed he has two... no, there are more than a dozen brushes!"

…

"Steady, steady, we are already the highest, just hold steady."

"I'm going! Maozi is here, run!"

"These people are playing tricks!"

…

In the Keukenhof Park, Wu Bin and the others were flying kites in a competition with teams from other countries. Because the kites were all made by the team members on the spot, it would inevitably become a competition.

At this time, the kite with the oriental dragon pattern was flying at the highest point. When people from other teams found that they could not catch up at the height, they immediately thought of "personal attacks" on Wu Bin and the other operators.

Looking at several Maozi brothers with malicious faces on their faces, Gong Chengwei waved his hands at them and said, "Fair competition! Fair competition!"

However, Brother Maozi obviously had no intention of fair competition and continued to walk slowly towards them. At the same time, two Brazilian brothers also came around behind Wu Bin and the others.

Seeing that he was sandwiched between two sides and holding the handle of the kite, Wu Bin suddenly shouted to Brother Maozi: "Hey! Oleg, do you know how to use dimensional analysis to estimate the yield of an atomic bomb!"

Oleg was stunned after hearing this, and stood there thinking. He didn't know whether he didn't understand what this sentence meant in English, or he was really thinking about how to calculate the yield of an atomic bomb.

Then Wu Bin handed the handle of the kite to Gong Chengwei, walked up to Oleg alone and said, "Taylor has established a mathematical model using dimensional analysis. It's very interesting. Do you want to learn about it?"

After hearing this, Ole thought for a while, and then when Wu Bin was about to speak again, he grabbed him.

He said in somewhat stiff English: "I won't fall into your trap again this time!"

Yesterday, when they were competing to see who could reach the top first at the rock climbing gym, Wu Bin, who was in second place, grabbed him and asked, "I suddenly thought of a question, why do you think model aircraft are more maneuverable than fighter jets?"

As a military fan, Olege thought he had met a like-minded person, so he immediately stayed where he was and discussed it with Wu Bin. He did not realize that Gong Chengwei, who was originally in third place, had surpassed him. As a result, he was complained by Lilia after losing the game. For a long time.

Seeing that Brother Maozi had become cunning, Wu Bin had no choice but to show his hands to Gong Chengwei, letting them figure out their own solution.

Finally, when the sun was about to go down, Gong Chengwei, who clung to the handle of the kite, won the first place. Looking at the "Oriental Dragon" that was at the highest point, surpassing other kites from other countries, Wu Bin smiled proudly, but was choked by Oleg. My chest still hurts a little.

‘These furry bears really don’t understand what it means to stop at a certain point! ’

…

On the sixth day, the organizers arranged for the team leaders from each country to meet with the professors of the marking team, with the purpose of allowing them to discuss and resolve possible errors or differences of opinion in the scoring of the test papers.

When Song Nanfeng entered the conference room and was about to read the papers, Cromwell, who was responsible for reviewing the papers of the Chinese team, came over and said to him: "China will not be discussed. You must have no objection."

After hearing this, Song Nanfeng was stunned for a moment. Then he took the paper and looked at it. He immediately laughed and said, "Yes, yes, no objection, no objection, hahaha."

…

According to the regulations, in the IPhO competition, the average score of the top three players is 100%. Those who can reach this average score of 90% will be awarded the first prize, which is the gold medal. Those who reach 78% will get the silver medal, which will reach 65%. Those who reach 50% will be awarded a commendation award and a certificate.

As for those who haven't even reached 50%... you will only be given a participation certificate to prove that you have been here.

On the afternoon of the seventh day, the Olympiad International Committee meeting thoroughly approved the list of student winners and notified the winning students, but did not tell them what the award was. It would be announced during the award ceremony.

So the next morning, all members of the Chinese team who received the award notification came to the award receiving area and sat down together.

After looking around, Zhang Fu whispered: "I found...it seems that they are all Asian faces."

Gong Chengwei nodded: "Anyway, they are either Asian or Chinese, there is nothing wrong with them, but the proportion... is indeed a bit high."

It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire award-winning area, Asian faces account for at least 85%, reaching an extremely terrifying proportion.

This is naturally something that people of the yellow race should be proud of, but in addition to racial reasons, it is also a key reason why Asia attaches more importance to basic education.

In fact, the purpose of competitions like IPhO is very clear, which is to select a group of young physicists for training. Not to mention Wu Bin and others who have entered international competitions, most of those who can reach the finals in China will be in physics. If he continues on this path, he will become the backbone of future physics research.

As for Chinese Americans, most of them attach great importance to their childhood education. This is actually very similar to the Jewish idea. Therefore, Chinese Americans can easily achieve some results in high school competitions.

Even now, a lot of basic teaching is done by Chinese people. There is absolutely no such thing as Chinese basic education is not good.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the grand closing ceremony officially began. At the closing ceremony, the student symphony band from the host country performed a very exciting performance for the participating students.

After several programs ended one after another, the host suddenly smiled and said: "What follows is an impromptu performance by the students participating in the competition. Please applaud warmly."

‘Improvisation? ’

For a moment, all the contestants' appetites were whetted, and they all looked towards the stage, wondering which guy had such a strong desire to cash in.

And just when everyone saw someone coming out of the background, the lights in the entire hall suddenly went out.

"oh~"

The sudden burst of mystery made a kind of student cheer.

Not long after the hall darkened, a blast of BGM sounded, and then a luminous... yo-yo suddenly appeared on the stage! ?

"Cool." Gong Chengwei, who was sitting next to Wu Bin, sighed.

"BOOM!"

As an explosive point in the BGM sounded, the mysterious figure on the stage immediately controlled the yo-yo and made various cool moves, which made the students below couldn't help but whistle.

Wu Bin actually had a strong interest in yo-yo when he was watching King Guo's yo-yo when he was a child, but he gave up after practicing for a long time and failed to master "sleep" and "puppy walking".

Now as he watched the yo-yo on the stage perform various gorgeous operations under the control of the mysterious man, Wu Bin suddenly felt a little tempted again.

"Holy shit! This move sounds like atomic fission. I've seen it in a video. It's extremely difficult!" Gong Chengwei yelled from the side.

"Have you learned it too?" Wu Bin asked.

"I just learned a superficial lesson, it's too difficult to play."

"Each other."

Then when the atmosphere reached its peak, the BGM ended, and at the same time, the lights in the hall came back on.

The sudden bright light caused Wu Bin to close his eyes for a while, and then slowly opened them after a while to adapt.

"Oh? It's her."

The person standing on the stage was none other than Lilia, the only female player in Maozi's team.

Not only Wu Bin, but other candidates were also surprised. After all, after spending so many days together, they had no idea she had such skills.

Lilia on the stage looked at the countless surprised expressions below and smiled proudly, then took the microphone from the host and shouted loudly: "This! Is! Fun!"

Hearing such an imposing sentence of "This is fun!" Wu Bin could guess without looking that Lilia must be yelling at the British guy who was playing with a fidget spinner.

‘It’s really... awesome. ’

Lilia had no intention of arguing with Abt after hearing his words that day. Wu Bin originally wondered why she was so calm all of a sudden. He was holding back his ultimate move!

After hearing this, Abt did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he made a gentlemanly salute to Lilia and gave a thumbs up.

This behavior won the applause of many players from other countries.

After Lilia left the stage happily, the host announced that the award ceremony would now begin.

The first group to go up were the bronze medal winners, and no one from Wu Bin or his team was called out.

After the medals were distributed, everyone applauded them.

Then among the second batch of silver medal winners, there was still no name among the five of Wu Bin and the others. This surprised the candidates who walked up to receive the silver medal and those who were still in the award area. Five contestants, five gold medals. ! The Chinese team is going to heaven!

As the silver medalists bowed and left the stage, the host began to announce the names of the gold medal winners.

The gold medal winners were announced one by one based on their overall score. At the end, when everyone in the entire award-winning area was almost on stage, Wu Bin and the other five remained unmoved.

Zhang Fu didn't hold back at first and said: "Ouch... It seems that we are really awesome this time."

"Tsk, that Hungarian guy is staring at us eagerly..." Gong Chengwei patted Wu Bin and said.

After hearing this, Wu Bin glanced sideways to his left and rear, and found that the Hungarian boy named Istvan was indeed staring at them closely.

"It seems that he has a lot of obsession with defending the number one title..." Wu Bin said with a smile.

Xue Nan let out a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Anyway, I don't expect to fight for the first place, as long as I don't quit the group."

As soon as Xue Nan finished speaking, the host called his name on the stage.

"Gan...you bunch of beasts."

After giving Wu Bin and the others a middle finger, Xue Nan walked onto the stage. Although China's overall record was invincible, as the weakest among them, he still had a complicated mood.

"Huh... I'm a little nervous." Gong Chengwei looked at Istvan again and took a deep breath.

Wu Bin originally wanted to comfort him, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Because after all...he himself was a little nervous.
