Chapter 191 Challenge
the next day.
At 8:40 a.m., in the washroom, I looked in the mirror and my eyes were surrounded by a pair of dark circles.
Tu Fu could only wash his face with clean water to make himself look more energetic.
He struggled with that matter all night, even when he was awakened in the middle of the night, he was brewing a set of perfect words.
How to ask Miss Weimar for the reward without revealing the truth? After careful consideration, he finally didn't open his mouth.
Anyway, it's not decent to ask a lady for money for no reason.
Now he can only hope that when he gets married or holds a big feast in the future, Eileen Weimar should pay more if he has any conscience.
Perhaps it was because he was so famous at the University of Michigan that he was escorted all the way from the dormitory to the lecture hall.
Professor Kane was afraid that this unreliable guy would forget about it, so that he would oversleep and make the scene embarrassing.
When Tufuka rushed to the scene, the courtyard was full of students.
Today's lecture hall has a lot more people than when choosing a tutor before, I'm afraid there will be more than a thousand people.
There are only two or three hundred freshmen in a humanities and social sciences academy.
Now there are probably not only freshmen from their college, but also students from other colleges, and even senior students. I don't know if they are here to admire the demeanor of this rookie king, or they have other ideas.
"God bless, it's best to end soon."
But Tu Fu, who has long been used to this job, looked serious when he sat in the front row.
He now only hopes that this work will end soon, so don't delay the meal time.
It was Mr. Walter Gross who was in charge of presiding over the work, the teacher of the archeology major. After receiving this task, his face was full of complacent expressions.
"Hello, gentlemen and ladies, I am Walter from the Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences. Since the 101st freshmen ushered in, many outstanding talents have been born in our academy.
The most astonishing one is my student Touve Capet, who used the double-slit interference experiment to verify the intractable problem of the composition of light long before he came, which is quite remarkable.
Since then, he has never been proud. Soon after entering school, he devoted himself to studying in the field of science and technology.
In the past few months, he invented the electric light with his amazing scientific research spirit, successfully won the first place in the Challenge Cup, and won glory for Miskar Stark University.
And just recently, our Mr. Capet discovered the remains of elves. He is definitely the core figure in excavating elf civilization and has brought amazing results to archaeological research.
Here, on behalf of the Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences, I will formally confer on him the second-level academic medal - the Moon Medal. "
The University of Michigan has established a certain level of medals for students' achievements during school. This kind of reward system has ratings within the university. It is small enough to increase the amount of subsidies every year. After leaving the school, the honor in the school can also be recognized by the society.
More importantly, this is the University of Michigan's recognition of students.
There are three levels of differentiation from the stars, the moon, and then to the sun medal.
If you have excellent indicators in several years at school, participate in some competitions organized by the university and win decent awards, and publish some constructive papers, you will have a certain chance to win a star medal.
The Moon Medal is awarded for breakthrough victories or inventions in internationally recognized academic fields.
The most difficult thing to obtain is the Sun Medal. There is only one standard to help human civilization progress.
So far, there are only a few dozen people like this in the University of Michigan.
The most recent UM student was the one who improved the steam engine.
The University of Michigan awarded him the second-level medal directly, and there is no room for improvement in the future.
After hearing this decision, Tu Fu couldn't help but stare wide-eyed and opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.
It's not that his few honors are not enough, it's just that awarding such a high-level medal to a freshman who has just finished a semester may cause dissatisfaction among many people.
"Surprised, isn't it?"
And Professor Kane next to him always had a smile on his face, "It's nothing, maybe in a few days, you will be awarded an even more remarkable medal by the Ministry of Education, and the person who will award you personally at that time may That’s an amazing person.”
A medal from the Ministry of Education?
After Tu Fu was in a daze for a short while, he immediately thought of what Uncle Roman had told him.
Shouldn't it be a perpetual motion celebration.
If that were the case, it would be bad enough.
"Here, I am very grateful to the school for its recognition of me, and also to every teacher who has paid for me."
He immediately got up and came on stage, putting on a formulaic smile.
After taking the stage, he put on a flattered expression, as if he was surprised by all of this, and first politely refused, showing that he deserved it.
Then, under Walter's serious words, he was finally forced to accept the moon medal that seemed to be made of pure gold.
Tu Fu, who was standing on the stage, began to prepare to tell the manuscripts that had been brewing in his stomach for a long time to the students present at the University of Michigan.
It's a very formulaic process.
He must emphasize that his birth was not good, relying on his own efforts to struggle alone in the dark.
On the endless road leading to scientific research, because of continuous persistence, I finally achieved something.
This kind of processed story has always been more contagious.
"Mr. Cape, hello, I'm sorry to interrupt your award presentation, let me introduce myself, my name is Eve Sauter, a junior in the Academy of Natural Sciences.
Just heard Mr. Gross speak about some of your achievements in the past. In terms of academics and scientific research, there are too many, and you are the truly outstanding person at the University of Michigan.
But for this, I have a question? "
In the auditorium, a crisp female voice interrupted Tu Fu's speech.
Perhaps the tone was too calm, making all eyes look like her.
A girl with a fresh face, she has long hair like a waterfall, an elegant dress with a standard oval face, and her smart almond eyes are full of firmness.
Perhaps it was because of the steady and dignified temperament of this lady that it seemed reasonable to ask this question face to face on this occasion.
After searching in memory, Tu Fu can assure that he has never seen this person.
The freshmen of the 101st class in the auditorium also looked at each other, and everyone was whispering to each other.
"Who is that?"
"A celebrity in the Academy of Natural Sciences in the third year, a student who has won the Star Medal, can often see her in the laboratory, and I heard that she has always been rigorous in academic requirements."
"Then why did she come to the freshmen's meeting?"
"Probably due to dissatisfaction with Mr. Capet's achievements, the Challenge Cup is enough for the college to obtain an education fund of 100,000 crowns, and this money is only distributed to the Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences."
"Maybe I'm jealous that a freshman can get the Moon Medal and I'm not convinced."
Some people secretly speculate in private, combined with the recent situation, their guess is not impossible.
After a brief absence, Tu Fu nodded slightly and asked with a smile: "It's okay, Miss Sauter, if you have any questions, just ask, I will do my best to tell you everything I know."
Tu Fu didn't reprimand the other party's weakness in person, and Tu Fu immediately won the goodwill of many people with his gracious approach.
"Mr. Capet, thank you very much for your response."
The girl named Eve looked into his eyes and asked directly: "In the double-slit experiment you did, because of the appearance of light and dark stripes, you concluded that light is a kind of fluctuation, is that true?"
"That's right." Tu Fu nodded subconsciously, "That's the conclusion based on the final research results of the conditions I listed, so it can be concluded that light is indeed a kind of fluctuation."
"But recently, some of my acquaintances have been studying this issue for a long time.
But in the process of studying the double-slit experiment, we got completely different results from Mr. Capet's previous experiments.
At that time, we will make the experiment process public, and interested students can come to observe it. If you have time, Mr. Capet, can you come and guide us. "
The girl named Eve finished speaking in one go, as if she was speaking a speech.
Tu Fu frowned and explained: "As I said just now, my conclusion is based on the experimental equipment I used..."
"Didn't your mentor teach you what rules are?"
Professor Kane, who was sitting at the bottom, had long been impatient with the accident, so he simply stood up, "This student from the Academy of Natural Sciences, academic research should be discussed in private, and we can discuss it after the ceremony is over." No problem.
Is it really reasonable for you to question my students in such a meeting? "
The University of Michigan has always had such a tradition, the spirit of daring to question the truth, which has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years since the school was founded.
But it should never be such an occasion to embarrass Tu Fu.
If it wasn't for the fact that the questioner was a lady, he would have scolded him long ago.
And Eve Short apologized again, but still stared at Tu Fu on the podium,
As if waiting for his answer.
There seemed to be a stubborn and unyielding spirit in this lady's eyes.
It seems that he wants to use some means to kick himself down from the god seat in the optical field.
"So, Miss Sauter, you are questioning my academic achievements, that's why you issued such a challenge."
Tu Fu rubbed his chin, contemplating an unusual aura from this accident.
Very unusual indeed.
At the award ceremony in front of everyone,
I don't know where the courage came from to challenge a young and famous genius, and it was an achievement that was recognized by countless professors from many academic circles in the Seven Schools Alliance.
This can no longer be explained by arrogance.
If you use the simple reason that UM students generally have a skeptical spirit towards science, it will not convince him.
"If you understand it this way, Mr. Capet, you're right." Eve Short, who had always been stern and cold, suddenly had a mysterious smile on his face.
All she did was as if she was waiting for herself to say this sentence.
"That being the case, I am willing to do so and accept the challenge on my own personal honor."
Tu Fu said loudly in Baia's official language, which was regarded as a formal response.
He doesn't care what the purpose of this person is, who he works for, whether it is disgusting, or a purely academic challenge.
None of that matters.
He only knew that someone who challenged him in public was just trying to push him to the edge of a cliff, making him unable to retreat, and he didn't care whether he would be pushed into the abyss.
Perhaps, she didn't know that what she wanted to challenge was a problem that had baffled the top physicists of all mankind for three hundred years.
and myself,
Always stand on the shoulders of giants.
ps: Thanks for the reward of 50,000 starting coins from the boss of Blizzard. I will try to see if I can write two more chapters recently. The story of the second volume will probably end before August if there is no accident. I have thought about it for a long time , a very explosive climax, if you have been reading this and are willing to support my readers, you will not be disappointed. There are many things that are not done well, please bear with me, and it will be more delicate in the future, because I have never tried this kind of It’s a novel of the same style, so when I wrote it, I was crossing the river by feeling the stones, please bear with me, thank you~
