Chapter 291: 291 Physics, Ye Wanlan is the sky! [1 more]
On the path of exploring physics, there’s always an endless journey.
Even with more time to study due to the time loop, Ye Wanlan had to admit that she hadn’t fully comprehended all the knowledge of physics.
If there ever comes a day when humans master physics, then the entire world... and even the whole galaxy will undergo earth-shaking changes.
At least for now, the scientific community hasn’t developed a spacecraft capable of reaching the speed of light for space jumps.
In the face of natural laws, even the strongest people must bow their heads.
"Not using the problem given by Teacher Ren?" He Jiaojiao was startled, "But, but we don’t have an alternative problem."
"Don’t panic," Ye Wanlan said with a calm expression, "The same old saying applies: When the enemy comes, we’ll block them, when the flood comes, we’ll dam it up. It still depends on what Yunjing No.1 Middle School plans to do with whatever problem we present."
If Yunjing No.1 Middle School really plans to cheat, then she will come up with a brand new problem.
"Wanlan, after our competition ends, you must tell Teacher Ren what Xue Yiwei has done," He Jiaojiao said angrily, "The first time it was you who saved the day when we were in decline, and this time she’s gone even further, directly giving our problem to the other side."
Upon hearing this, Su Xubai was stunned, and he couldn’t help but seize He Jiaojiao’s shoulders: "Jiaojiao, what are you saying?"
"I’m saying the additional question Teacher Ren gave to us was leaked to Yunjing No.1 Middle School’s group by Xue Yiwei," replied He Jiaojiao with no pleasant expression to Su Xubai, brushing off his hand, "Aren’t you and Xue Yiwei always inseparable? How could you not know about these things she’s done?"
Su Xubai pursed his lips, his voice slightly strained as he began, "Yiwei doesn’t seem to—"
"Not seem? In what way does she not seem?" He Jiaojiao said with a mocking expression, "Were you blind during the first knockout round? Even if she really has a weakness in special relativity, wasn’t an hour of competition time enough for her to seek help?"
Su Xubai opened his mouth but found no words to vindicate Xue Yiwei.
The Xue Yiwei he knew was proud. Although she was somewhat arrogant, she shouldn’t have done something to entrap their own team.
Su Xubai stood silently in the answering area until three o’clock, when the final competition finally commenced.
The individual competition was the first event, with Yunjing No.1 Middle School sending directly Lu Shuyun to lead off, clearly hoping he could defeat the Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School team on his own.
He Jiaojiao said, "Wanlan, how about you go first for us?"
"No, you guys go first," Ye Wanlan said, "I’ll go last."
He Jiaojiao was taken aback, "Us? I reckon I’ll be out in less than three rounds if I go first."
"Don’t worry, I’m here," Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, "Go ahead, there’s nothing to worry about, they’re the ones who should be concerned."
With those words from Ye Wanlan, He Jiaojiao stepped onto the stage with ease.
She clearly saw Lu Shuyun looking somewhat stunned, obviously unable to understand why Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School hadn’t sent Ye Wanlan directly to compete.
But Lu Shuyun soon gathered his spirits to face the upcoming individual matches.
The rules of the individual match were quite simple: the two sides took turns answering questions, and the one who was defeated first, lost.
As He Jiaojiao had expected, she was eliminated by Lu Shuyun in the third round.
The next substitute contestant entered the stage and was taken out without even lasting a single round.
Su Xubai was still preoccupied with Xue Yiwei’s matter and wasn’t quite focused, only holding out until the fourth round.
Yunjing No.1 Middle School achieved victory in three rounds, scoring three points.
"Xiao Lu takes down three by himself! That’s amazing."
"And the contestants from Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School are all eighteen, yet Xiao Lu is only fourteen this year."
"Here comes Ye Wanlan, I wonder if she can still create a miracle."
"What miracle is there to create? She’s four years older than Xiao Lu, if she wins it’s nothing to boast about, and if she loses, it’s even more embarrassing."
"Exactly, if Xiao Lu were her age, he might even have graduated from graduate school."
Having continuously defeated three opponents from Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School, Lu Shuyun had regained his confidence.
He lifted his chin slightly with pride: "Next."
Ye Wanlan patted He Jiaojiao’s shoulder and took a step forward, standing in front of the answer machine.
Her appearance stirred up the entire venue.
"Ye Wanlan comes on stage! Our Miss Ye is the best!"
"Despite being able to rely on looks, she insists on relying on talent!"
"Now I believe she was chosen for the ’Treasures of The Divine Land’ program for her genuine knowledge and skills, but why did someone who studies physics end up on a show with historical nature?"
"Please listen to the question, Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School—" the judging panel began to read the question and afterward said, "Please select your choice by pressing the answer button in front of you within five minutes."
The judges put down the microphone, waiting for Ye Wanlan’s response.
Then they saw Ye Wanlan nod towards the judges’ seats and then immediately reached out to press the "A" option.
The answering machine played a cheerful tone, indicating option A was the correct answer.
It wasn’t even ten seconds from when Ye Wanlan heard the complete question to when she gave her answer.
Clearly, the judges hadn’t expected this, as they were stunned in their seats.
However, they quickly recovered and proceeded to question Lu Shuyun.
This question was of moderate difficulty, and Lu Shuyun took thirty seconds to come up with the answer.
What followed was rapid progress in answering questions. In less than ten minutes, both sides had alternately answered eight questions.
The audience was also very excited.
"This is a duel between experts. Even though it’s an academic battle, it makes my blood boil."
"Xiao Lu seems to be slowing down in answering questions; he looks a bit overwhelmed."
"Have you guys noticed? Ye Wanlan answers at the same speed every time, always within five or six seconds. Doesn’t she need to think?"
Even the audience had realized it, so it was impossible for the judging panel and Lu Shuyun not to notice.
It wasn’t until Ye Wanlan casually answered three more questions that everyone realized something was amiss. ƒгeewebnovёl_com
Is this... a monster?
Is there really someone who can see the answer at a glance without even thinking about the problem?!
Xiang Shaoyu, who was watching the match, also found it unbelievable.
Many of the questions had him dizzy just from hearing them, let alone integrating the useful information from the questions to find the answers.
Yet Ye Wanlan had no hesitation in her answering process; she would come up with an answer within ten seconds of hearing the question.
Indeed, the individual round’s questions were all multiple-choice questions that didn’t require the calculation needed for longer problems.
But this is physics!
Xiang Shaoyu was silent for a moment before speaking, "Do you think, Miss Ye’s brain is actually a computer that starts processing as soon as you input a problem, and then comes up with an answer?"
At these words, Yan Tingfeng’s eyebrows raised slightly, "You need to admit that there are people in this world who are even more impressive than geniuses."
"Yes, I admit it." Xiang Shaoyu sighed deeply, "But Miss Ye, she isn’t human, she is more like a god!"
By the twelfth round, Ye Wanlan was still coming up with answers within five seconds.
The questions were getting harder, but it seemed they had not yet reached her limit; she remained unruffled and composed.
In contrast, Lu Shuyun could no longer keep his cool; beads of sweat were appearing on his forehead.
"Lu Shuyun, please listen to the question—" as the thirteenth round began, the judge continued to read out the question, "Please select your correct answer."
"I... I..." Lu Shuyun was sweating profusely, panic gripping his heart like a cold serpent, making it hard for him to breathe.
At that moment, he realized his mind was blank, devoid of any thoughts.
He desperately wanted to compete with Ye Wanlan in the speed of answering, but the more he tried, the more pressure he felt.
The judge spoke again, "Please, Lu Shuyun, answer the question. What is the answer to this question?"
This sentence caused Lu Shuyun’s already crumbling brain to collapse even further. Holding his head, he finally couldn’t control himself and shouted, "I give up!"
"!!!"
The entire place was in an uproar.
With three minutes left until the end of the answering period, Lu Shuyun actually gave up?
The lead judge frowned and asked, "Lu Shuyun, are you sure you want to give up? There’s still time; you can continue answering."
"No—" Lu Shuyun’s expression was one of despair as he continued to clutch his head, "No more! I won’t answer!"
He was no match; he simply couldn’t compete!
"Wanlan, what happened to him?" He Jiaojiao was puzzled, "You didn’t do anything, but it seems like you’ve driven him mad."
Ye Wanlan replied indifferently, "He just collapsed under too much pressure."
In such a public and competitive individual showdown, the contestants face immense pressure.
Add to that the fact that Lu Shuyun’s hard-won self-confidence was once again shattered; it was natural he couldn’t accept it.
"Please send the next contestant from Yunjing No.1 Middle School," the judging panel reminded, "You can choose to concede or quit."
This statement, appearing for the first time on the stage, clearly showed that the judges were also alarmed by Ye Wanlan’s performance.
They feared the others would not be able to withstand Ye Wanlan’s momentum and may suffer adverse psychological effects.
The remaining three from Yunjing No.1 Middle School looked at each other.
They didn’t want to lose face, but it was difficult to just forfeit; they had to go on stage.
However, after the difficulty of the questions increased yet again, all three were defeated in the first round.
The final score of the individual competition settled at 4 to 3, with Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School holding a one-round lead over Yunjing No.1 Middle School.
"Please both sides rearrange and rest for five minutes. The team competition is about to begin," the lead judge announced. "Please have the tiebreaker questions ready."
Hearing this, Lu Shuyun’s spirits lifted.
That’s right, there were the tiebreaker questions!
He knew what questions Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School would pose, and the answers, he had already prepared!
