…
After seeing off Wang Xingwen and the others, Wang Zhaozhao also returned to school.
Before the end of summer vacation, they had a week of special tutoring, and when the new semester started, they had more courses.
Such a heavy academic workload took some time to adapt to for those students in their class who were considered geniuses.
When I look up, National Day is coming.
On this day, Professor Zhou asked the teaching assistant to call Wang Zhaozhao and others over.
"There's a national undergraduate physics competition in December. Normally, the age limit is 18 to 22, but since we've set up a special recruitment class, we've given you a green light, and you can participate too.
The internal school competition will be held at the end of October. The competition is divided into three steps: relevant knowledge assessment, basic experimental operations, and independent completion of a work.
The final work does not have too high requirements, as long as it is physical, the main thing is to give full play to your imagination and complete it on the laboratory bench.
Finally, two teams of six will be selected to compete in the National Undergraduate Physics Competition in December."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhaozhao and the others were a little excited, but they restrained themselves a little.
"Since all students aged 18-22 and those in the special recruitment class can participate, why wasn't this news announced to the class?"
But Professor Zhou came to talk to them alone?
"That's a good question." Professor Zhou raised an eyebrow and looked at them. "I have a priority nomination for a team to participate in the December competition."
In other words, they can skip the qualifiers and go directly to the finals?
Wang Zhaozhao and the others were a little confused for a moment.
Professor Zhou laughed when he saw them like that, "Just because I recommended you as a team doesn't mean you can skip the internal competition.
This just means... for example, if one of you has the same score as someone else or the difference is within a few tenths to one point, then there will be a priority choice.
After all, we are going out to compete, so we must aim to win. Physical experiments require teamwork, and inventions and creations require even more teamwork.
If everyone is equally strong, and you have extensive competition experience, working together to show your talents and standing on the podium at the same time will also increase your chances of winning."
I understand.
Wang Zhaozhao and the others nodded silently.
"It's taken so seriously, but of course it's not just this." Professor Zhou hadn't finished speaking.
"After the competition, the top five teams will be selected to join the national team for special training. Ultimately, two groups, A and B, will be selected to participate in an international physics competition next summer."
“…”
Wow.
Wang Zhaozhao and the others realized belatedly that the competition experience mentioned by Professor Zhou was actually related to international competitions.
However, no matter what, "thank you for your trust, teacher. We will do our best to live up to our mission."
We must be worthy of this trust.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to your performance." Professor Zhou nodded and then waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
Later, when he personally delivered the list of their six-member team to the leader, he couldn't help but laugh when he talked about the conversation. "...at such a young age, you've thought about a lot."
“Is this also considered a pure heart?”
"What do you mean by also count? That's it!"
"Haha, hurry up and leave. Don't let Lao Zhang and the others see you."
The leader directly kicked people out.
This guy took the initiative and rushed to take Wang Zhaozhao and the others with him. He even said that these "kids" had a good relationship and that if possible, letting them work together would make them happier to study and make progress together.
——Anyway, it’s just a fallacy.
It's been so long now, but whenever the other professors see Professor Zhou in the leader's office, they like to mock him and even want to drown him with spit.
"Let's go, let's go. I'm leaving."
Professor Zhou was not angry at all and left happily.
Soon, the news was announced in the class, which made the teenagers very excited.
They are never afraid of exams, games, or competitions. Instead, they regard them as a challenge, an incentive, and an opportunity.
Before lights went out at night, in dormitory 210, Xu Yanni happily shared the great news of their upcoming competition with Chen Peichu and Changying.
Not surprisingly, I received a wave of envy.
"Logically, you guys should have a math competition too, right? I feel like there's more comparison in math."
Xu Yanni couldn't help but ask.
Chen Pei, "No competition... but there are other opportunities."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yanni became excited and asked hurriedly what the opportunity was.
"I don't know, I just heard a little rumor." Chen Pei shrugged.
Wang Zhaozhao suddenly had an idea and became interested. "Could it be some secret mission?"
"Wow..." Xu Yanni was immediately envious.
Chen Pei shook her head. She really didn’t know.
However, Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni helped them look forward to it together.
…
There are three days off for National Day. On the day before the holiday, Xu Yanni specially invited everyone to gather at noon to have lunch together in the cafeteria.
"Friends, how about we celebrate National Day this year just like last year?"
What this means is that those who can go home should go home first, and those who can’t go home should go to her house.
Then, we will all go to her house tomorrow morning, have lunch, go to the street to enjoy the festival, go shopping, and have a barbecue in the evening.
"Sure, I agree." Wang Zhaozhao was the first to raise his hand.
"Wow, Sister Zhao, you have really changed. I am so happy." Xu Yanni pounced directly.
It is rare that Wang Zhaozhao is the first to respond.
Wang Zhaozhao, who was hugged by her, laughed helplessly, "I just feel that we may become busier and busier in the future. I don't know if we can spend the National Day together next year.
Moreover, if Peipei and the others really have the opportunity to participate in a confidential project, it may take a few months at the shortest and an unknown amount of time at the longest, and we may not be able to see them."
Hearing this, everyone was silent for a moment, but then smiled at each other.
No matter what, they are full of yearning and fighting spirit for the future.
So, the agreement was made.
During rush hour, they left the school and waited for the bus together.
Generally, there are no classes in the afternoon before such holidays, but they still study together in the library and only come out at this time.
I don’t know what other people think, but part of the reason Wang Zhaozhao actually likes to catch the bus at this time.
She was in the endless stream of people, looking at the huge army of bicycles on the roadside.
Many of them were wearing factory uniforms, while others were dressed simply or fashionably.
There are also a very small number of young people wearing leather jackets, riding motorcycles, and having afro.
As the bus swayed, people got on and off, and finally, she arrived at her stop.
After getting off the bus, she walked home in the scorching heat of autumn, which made her feel as if she was in a bustling city without being restless.
