Chapter 281 Willing to be a stepping stone for a woman
"There are two methods for describing the movement of seawater, the Lagrangian method and the Euler method. Taking the Euler method as an example..."
The discussions in the classroom seemed to have been paused.
The voice, more melodious than that of the announcer, caught everyone's attention at the first moment. Many people couldn't believe it, but the scene in front of them remained the same.
This is not an illusion!
The wording is precise and there are no grammatical errors, but that's not the most important thing.
The content of Lu Youyou's speech was beyond their expectations.
The previous few groups basically moved within a ten-meter radius centered on the topic, but Lu Youyou directly expanded this range to fifty meters.
John and the others nearby became more and more excited as they listened, with their chins raised higher than before.
Do you really think they are just trying to attract attention?
At the beginning, all five of them expressed their own ideas, but in the end they all agreed to use Lu Youyou's plan, and the tasks she undertook later were also the heaviest.
Due to the tight time and heavy tasks, they did not have time to rehearse before going on stage. It was also the first time for them to appreciate Lu Youyou's "performance".
There is no other word to describe it except perfect.
Those who knew something about it were fascinated by it, not to mention the general public.
The curve of Professor Hopkins' mouth became wider and wider. At first he was leaning back in his chair easily, but his body leaned forward unconsciously.
He rested his elbows on the table and supported his chin with his fists. Anyone who saw him could tell how satisfied he was.
He knew that there would be one more Chinese student in the department this year, but that was just a knowledge he had. He had no expectations for the new student's level, and he would not slow down the progress even if the student didn't understand.
On the day of grouping, he thought Lu Youyou was rejected because her level was too poor, but he didn't expect that the second class would give him such a big surprise.
In the absence of hope, a seven-point surprise can become a nine-point surprise, not to mention that the current surprise is definitely ten points.
After Lu Youyou finished her speech, there was almost nothing to add. Professor Hopkins suppressed the urge to continue the conversation and asked questions to the remaining four people first.
He listened and took notes. John and the others were performing at about the same level as before, so today's surprise could be entirely attributed to this Chinese student?
Professor Hopkins devoted the last bit of his time to Lu Youyou.
“Lu, can you describe the basic flow inside the ocean using simplified equations of motion?”
Lu Youyou nodded and took a pen to write on the blackboard.
“By determining the characteristic scale of each term in the system of equations, some of the terms with less influence can be removed.
For the interior of the ocean, the characteristic scales of horizontal scale L, Coriolis parameter f, density p, horizontal velocity U, and gravitational acceleration g are respectively..."
This is the second class of the new semester, and the progress is around the fifth chapter of the textbook. Even if everyone is not a blank slate, they will not understand too much, except for self-taught people and geniuses.
There are indeed some people in the class who are above average, but there are only one or two of them. They can keep up, but the others can't.
Due to limited time, Lu Youyou did not go too deep into the topic. He stopped writing on the blackboard at the right time, and the get out of class was about to end.
"Lu, come to my office after your morning classes."
Professor Hopkins walked forward with a smile, and his words were heard by several people sitting nearby.
The shock was not over yet, and jealousy was added. This was a big shot in the industry, and a new Chinese student actually had the opportunity to communicate with him one-on-one, and it was the big shot who took the initiative to invite him.
Many people look at Lu Youyou with strange eyes, and there is a lot of envy and jealousy.
After Lu Youyou left, John and his friends were quickly surrounded by people, all asking what was going on.
"Could it be that one of you has taken a fancy to that Chinese woman and deliberately let her take the spotlight?"
Amid the cacophony of chatter, one voice was particularly harsh.
The others either put their arms around each other's shoulders or necks, mostly joking among classmates. Only that person walked by with his chin raised, and gave me a sideways glance while speaking.
Before John could say anything, Jack couldn't stand it anymore and stood in front of the man with a frown: "What did you say?"
"Who can't see that? Do you dare to say you don't have other thoughts? You are willing to be a stepping stone for a woman. You are really great!"
Jack refused to give in: "You slander others just because you are not as skilled as them. Are you really a Stanford student?"
"You..." The man didn't expect Jack to be so disrespectful. Just as he was about to refute, he saw John coming over.
He didn't take Jack seriously, but John was not an ordinary person. His father was said to be a congressman from California, and he himself was one of the editors-in-chief of the student newspaper, The Stanford Daily.
"Get out of the way, I have something else to do."
He pushed through the layers of people in front of him and walked away hurriedly.
The boys' situation was not peaceful, and Lucia's situation was not much better.
She has a cold personality and doesn't have many friends, but now all the familiar and unfamiliar girls are gathered around her.
“Is that Chinese Lu really that powerful?”
"Isn't it said that the education level in China is very poor? Where did she study?"
"Isn't this really the speech you prepared for her?"
…
Lucia's expression was serious, even more serious than usual.
"Lu is very knowledgeable, not what everyone thinks. Her part in the group assignment was the most difficult, and she also completed the speech independently."
After hearing this, everyone still looked unconvinced.
It is a consensus that American education is the best.
They believed that they had received elite education since childhood, but suddenly they were outshined by an international student from a third world country that has not yet escaped poverty and whose residents have a very low level of education. It was really hard for them to believe it.
"Maybe Lu is a descendant of a wealthy Chinese or aristocratic family, and he has hired foreign teachers since he was young..."
"There are no nobles in China, right? Isn't that socialism?"
"Anyway, I don't believe she is an ordinary person. Look at her clothes. Does she look like a poor person?"
The topic gradually went off track, so Lucia packed her bag and took the opportunity to leave the "battlefield".
She didn't care about Lu Youyou's identity and background, but her confidence and the fact that she could solve problems that left her at a loss without much thought gave her a huge psychological shock.
Her ideal is to keep climbing the academic ladder. The appearance of Lu Youyou makes her realize that there are always people better than her, and time is running out, so she doesn't have the time to satisfy other people's curiosity.
Lu Youyou had no idea about the "disturbance" she had caused, and wouldn't care even if she knew. After the morning class ended, she left the classroom under more than a dozen scorching gazes.
Everyone knew where she was going, and the sour feeling reappeared. They also wanted Professor Hopkins's special treatment! !
Lu Youyou followed the campus map to a gray building. This was Stanford's School of Earth Sciences. Professor Hopkins usually worked here when he was not in the laboratory.
“Lu, you’re finally here?”
Hopkins was very happy to see Lu Youyou. It was already time to get off work, so he didn't go to lunch and waited for Lu Youyou to come over.
