Chapter 146: The Evil of Youth, Eating is Paramount
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Starting with chemical formulas as the entry point, Jiang Fuyue analyzed the atomic structure of quasi-crystals, focusing on two important principles, namely the icosahedral principle and the golden mean principle.
Under the influence of these two principles, the simplest quasi-crystal structure model can be obtained. This model can explain all the details of high-resolution images of Al-Mn quasi-crystals.
The above belongs to the field of chemistry.
Next, Jiang Fuyue deduced formulas for quasi-crystals from the perspectives of fractal geometry, pattern sequences, correlation measures, and correlation dimensions.
In particular, there were detailed discussions on pattern sequences under 2nd order, 3rd order, and k order.
The above belongs to the field of mathematics.
Looking at the whiteboard filled with English and numbers in front of her, Jiang Fuyue, without hesitation, switched to the next one.
At this point, this question truly began to enter the core steps, namely the explanation of physics.
Jiang Fuyue divided it into two major parts, theoretical physics, and applied physics.
The former mainly included three theorems, seven formulas, and sixteen derivative sub-discussions. Jiang Fuyue not only wrote them all out but also created scenarios, inputting specific numbers to verify their authenticity. In cases where she couldn’t input specific numbers, she directly provided proofs.
If the mountain can’t be climbed over, just dig a hole through it. It’s simple and straightforward but effective.
As for the applied physics part, there were many more…
For example, the influence of deformation and heat treatment processes on the performance of 00Cr12Ni9Mo4Cu2 martensitic stainless steel.
Or, the organizational performance of quasi-crystal reinforced Mg-Zn-RE (Y, Gd) alloy.
Or even the diffraction properties of one-dimensional Fibonacci-type quasi-crystals, deep undercooling of Al72Ni12Co16 alloy, and the solidification behavior of icosahedral quasi-crystals, and so on.
Jiang Fuyue wrote extensively, and soon, the remaining whiteboards were also filled.
Finally, she concluded with three conclusive derivation formulas, leaving behind numerical models for verification. This perfectly concluded her response to this question.
With this, all three theoretical questions were completed, taking a total of 37 minutes and 8 seconds.
Yan Zhenfeng’s hand was shaking.
The three coaches looked at each other, bewildered.
The people in the audience were equally dazed, as if waking up from a dream—
“I’m dumbfounded.”
“I might have studied a fake competition. I can’t understand a d*mn thing Jiang Fuyue wrote, not even a symbol.”
“Is it over just like this?”
“Yes, it’s over.”
“I suspect I’ve read something lonely.”
“No need to doubt, you’re not alone in feeling lonely.”
Listening to the subdued and amazed murmurs around her, Su Qing couldn’t help but frown.
The depression was for herself, and the amazement was for Jiang Fuyue.
Liu Ling tugged at her sleeve and whispered, “Can you understand what she wrote?”
Su Qing: “…”
“Professor Yan hasn’t expressed his opinion yet, especially on the third question. I suspect he doesn’t understand either.”
“Impossible!” Chen Sichang immediately interjected, sounding firm. “Professor Yan has led five physics competition summer camps, he’s experienced and knowledgeable. It’s impossible for him to be fooled by these trivial techniques! His lack of expression only indicates one thing.”
“What thing?”
“Jiang Fuyue’s matter is serious! Either she breaks out of silence, or she perishes in silence. Just wait and see. Right now is just the calm before the storm.”
Liu Ling looked skeptical.
Su Qing remained silent, adopting a reserved attitude.
Suddenly, she turned her head to look at a certain seat to her right. A guy was slouched in the seat, his face mostly covered by a duckbill cap, wearing noise-canceling headphones. Although his face wasn’t visible, his long limbs and excellent physique were evident.
At this moment, he was sound asleep, seemingly unaffected by everything happening around him.
“Ah Qing, what are you looking at?”
“Look.” Su Qing nodded towards the direction of the guy.
Liu Ling looked over. “Who is this? Do you know him?”
“I heard that the genius from the Lin family also made it to the summer camp this year.” Su Qing pondered.
She had scrutinized everyone earlier, and he seemed the most likely.
“The Lin family?” Chen Sichang leaned over, eyes shining. “Is it the Lin family we know?!”
“Yes.”
In the capital, there were plenty of wealthy families, but only eight were truly considered “elite”—
Xie, Lou, Zhong, Lin, Huo, Yu, Ming, and Cen.
Huo Fanjin came from the Huo family, and not just any branch, but the main line, so she was always surrounded by supporters.
Even though she had a bad temper, a straightforward personality, and was difficult to serve, she still had countless admirers.
They weren’t necessarily fans of Huo Fanjin as a person; rather, they were drawn to the power and influence of the Huo family behind her.
And the Lin family was even more formidable than the Huo family.
“It seems that this year’s summer camp is interesting. The direct descendants of the Lin and Huo families are here to join the fun.”
Liu Ling pondered, “Ah Qing, are you sure it’s him?”
Su Qing nodded, “Ninety-nine percent sure.”
“I heard that the young master Lin is famously picky and arrogant. It really seems like him.” Sleeping soundly in such a situation…
Ordinary people really couldn’t pull it off.
Chen Sichang’s eyes gleamed, “What’s wrong with being picky and arrogant? He has the capital for it.”
“That’s true…” Liu Ling nodded, “But Ah Qing, why are you suddenly looking at him?”
“I think this young master Lin is a genius. In his first year, he published two papers as the first author in ‘Physical Review Letters,’ and both papers had quite impressive download and citation numbers. He usually associates with the academic elites in the domestic academic circle, and his academic network is even richer than that of a regular Q University professor.”
“Indeed impressive. But what does this have to do with you looking at him?”
“I think, besides Professor Xu, he might be the only one here who knows whether Jiang Fuyue’s answers are correct or not.”
Unfortunately, he didn’t care at all, not even bothering to take a glance.
But on second thought, this was exactly how a young master of the Lin family should behave, fitting the identity of a genius teenager, wasn’t it?
After Jiang Fuyue finished, she stepped back and put down the pen in her hand.
Yan Zhenfeng asked, “Don’t you need to check?”
She didn’t even think about it, “No need.”
“…”
Now what?
Jiang Fuyue finished too early, and it seemed like Huo Fanjin still needed some time.
The inquiring gaze turned to Xu Lao, only to see him standing in front of the whiteboard where Jiang Fuyue answered. He was wearing reading glasses, his expression serious, and his gaze focused as he scanned every word and number. The fanaticism accumulating in his eyes became more and more intense, less and less concealed…
“Teacher…” Yan Zhenfeng called him in a hushed voice.
Xu Kaiqing turned a deaf ear, his mind and eyes completely engrossed in these precious numbers. His inner worship for “woes” rose to a new level.
How could thoughts be so divergent?
How could logic be so clear?
From setting the question to demonstrating, and finally presenting the result, each step was intricately connected, far beyond what the word “perfect” could describe.
“Teacher…” Yan Zhenfeng continued calling him.
Still ignored.
Helpless, Yan Zhenfeng had to walk over and interrupt him, even though he knew this might cause trouble for himself…
As expected, Xu Kaiqing’s expression darkened. “What? Why are you shouting?”
Yan Zhenfeng: [Smiling].jpg
Turns out, the old man wasn’t deaf.
“Cough… Now that Jiang Fuyue has finished answering, and Huo Fanjin still needs some time, it’s almost lunchtime. What do you think…”
“Let everyone go to lunch first. Gather here at 2 PM in the afternoon.”
Yan Zhenfeng nodded and immediately conveyed the message.
However, everyone remained unmoved, showing no intention of leaving, including Xu Kaiqing himself.
Yan Zhenfeng repeated his announcement.
The response was still lukewarm.
“Professor Yan, since it’s a competition, how can one leave halfway through?” Su Qing sat in her seat, smiling.
She hadn’t seen the miserable sight of Jiang Fuyue being publicly embarrassed yet, so how could she easily leave?
Moreover, who knew if Jiang Fuyue would sneak back and alter her answers after leaving?
Liu Ling nodded, “We’re not hungry. Solving problems is more important.”
Chen Sichang said, “Look, Huo Fanjin is about to complete the first question soon.”
“Oh? The answer is different from Jiang Fuyue’s!”
“Tsk tsk, soon the monsters and demons will reveal themselves.”
In such a crucial moment of public execution, how could the onlookers enjoying the spectacle be absent?
So, even after Yan Zhenfeng notified three times, not a single person left!
Xu Kaiqing: See, I told you not to bother.
Yan Zhenfeng: Award for Confusing Behavior by Contemporary Students?
Not giving up, he turned to ask his three coaching colleagues, “Are you going to have lunch?”
One person, holding a draft, was comparing it with Jiang Fuyue’s answers and writing rapidly. Without lifting his head, he said, “Don’t disturb me; I’ll finish soon…”
Another, stuck at a certain step for over ten minutes, had an anxious look, “Why eat? I’ll go on a hunger strike if I don’t figure out this step!”
Yan Zhenfeng’s eye twitched: Savage.
The remaining one wasn’t as crazy as the first two. He approached Yan Zhenfeng with a smile, “Old Yan, are you hungry yourself?”
“!” D*mn! Was I exposed?
“Hehe… I can accompany you for lunch, but you have to promise me one condition.”
He suddenly had a bad feeling, “What condition?”
“Later, during the grouping, you have to assign Jiang Fuyue to me.”
“…How can I do that? The draw results are not under my control!”
“We’re all in physics, and math is not bad either. It’s just a probability thing. Just casually use your little brain…”
“Get lost!” Use my little brain? Encouraging him to cheat?
“Fine, then I won’t accompany you for lunch. If no one leaves, I don’t think you’ll feel comfortable leaving.”
Yan Zhenfeng: “?”
No love.
Jiang Fuyue scanned the surroundings. Seeing that no one was leaving, she thought for a moment, turned around and descended from the stage, then was going to… leave?!
Almost everyone’s gaze focused on her, thinking, “What is she up to?”
Su Qing was the first to stand up, coldly questioning, “Jiang Fuyue, are you leaving?!”
“Mm.”
The gazes of everyone at the scene suddenly became subtle —
“Could she be trying to escape?”
“That’s too stupid, with so many eyes watching her.”
“Leaving midway is equivalent to admitting defeat. She’s just chickening out!”
“Maybe she saw that the answer to the first question from Huo Fanjin didn’t match hers, so she’s feeling guilty?”
…
Blatant mockery and ridicule, open contempt and strikes.
With the worst attitude and the ugliest face, the youth’s “evil” was laid bare at this moment.
If it were someone else, they probably would have collapsed long ago.
Unfortunately, they were facing Jiang Fuyue.
A cold, piercing gaze swept across, making people feel a stinging sensation on their faces, and the voice became smaller and smaller until it was barely audible.
At this moment, Jiang Fuyue spoke slowly, “First, I’m going to eat.”
“Second, I handed in my paper the moment I put down my pen. Even if I leave midway, what does it matter?”
“Lastly, you guys are really noisy and boring, and even looking at you might be detrimental to my life expectancy.”
After finishing, she walked away with large strides.
She was hungry.
How could one not eat after using their brain extensively?
Everyone: “?”
I’m noisy?
I’m boring?
Looking at me might be detrimental to my life expectancy?
Wait a minute!
“She’s too arrogant—” She’s actually going to eat?! Is she a glutton? Does she have no respect for the competition?
Just then, Professor Yan rushed past the crowd like a gust of wind, chasing after Jiang Fuyue, “Student Jiang, are you going to eat? Wait for me to join you!”
“…”
In fact, Jiang Fuyue not only had a meal but also took a one-hour nap in her dormitory.
At 1:58 in the afternoon, when she appeared again, everyone found that her condition was unexpectedly better than in the morning. Her complexion was rosy, and her eyes were bright.
Beautiful to the point that it was hard to look away!
Then, the hungry crowd… felt a bit sour.
At this moment, Yan Zhenfeng suddenly announced, “Exam time is up.”
On the stage, Huo Fanjin was forced to put down her pen, her face worse than Jiang Fuyue’s by more than a bit.
Xu Kaiqing was invited on stage to publicly grade two answer sheets.
“For the first question, Huo Fanjin gets 8 points…”
Cheers!
“I told you Miss Huo has some skills! She only lost two points.”
“Hail to the genius!”
“Well done, truly a member of our capital circle.”
“Don’t make noise; Jiang Fuyue’s score hasn’t been announced yet.”
“Why bother listening? Look at her answers. They are different from Huo Fanjin’s in all three small questions. She’s definitely getting a zero!”
However, the next second —
Xu Kaiqing: “Jiang Fuyue, 10 points!”
