Chapter 81 Because of Li Mu, the award rules were changed? (Fourth update)
The days that followed indeed became the days when Li Mu started to have a headache.
After all, such formal design is different from solving problems. Although Li Mu did not have the attitude of solving problems during the competition, after all, the upper limit of difficulty is there. Even if he does it in detail, the workload is still limited.
.
But now it has become a very large roller coaster with a cost of 1.5 billion, but it is not that simple.
There are many things that need to be considered compared to the roller coaster that needs to be designed in the competition.
That is to say, brain cells will not die because of thinking. Otherwise, no matter how many brain cells Li Mu has, they may not be enough.
Even the mental computer that had just been upgraded to level 2 felt like it was running out of computing power. After all, there were too many places that needed to be repeatedly calculated, including every stress point that needed to be considered.
Considering every place where the force may be greater is also to estimate the metal fatigue.
The parts of the track viaduct that are often stressed may suffer permanent damage due to metal fatigue. Over time, they may break one day.
Therefore, Li Mu needs to take this into consideration when designing to prevent the roller coaster's structure from being affected by metal fatigue.
To this end, he even began research on materials mechanics.
Suddenly, the knowledge he absorbed every day reached a level that ordinary students could hardly imagine.
Just like that, time passed quickly.
…
The whole month of October passed quickly. During this whole month, Li Mu put all his thoughts into the design of the 1.5 billion roller coaster.
Of course, Changlong will also send people to take a look at Li Mu's design progress, and will give some opinions and restrictions.
After all, the area of their park is limited, and the space planned for the roller coaster is also limited.
Therefore, Li Mu's design needs to comply with such space restrictions, which for him means more points to consider.
Of course, no matter what, his design is relatively smooth, and the progress improves very quickly. Occasionally, when inspiration breaks out, he can even design until three or four o'clock in the middle of the night.
But in this state, he even forgot that the results of the International College Physics Competition were about to be released.
…
Organizing Committee of this International College Student Physics Competition.
At this time, the organizing committee is in the process of final review and determination of results.
The chairman of the organizing committee is Carol Joss, a professor of astrophysics from the University of California. The first question in this competition was raised by him.
Of course, although the first question was asked by him and the second question was asked by another professor, as the chairman, he still needs to know the results of the second question.
At this time, he looked at the list of results for the second question in his hand, frowned and asked: "Huh? Didn't you say before that at least two gold medal places should be given for the second question? Why did you only confirm one?
Gold medal? This will affect the enthusiasm of future contestants."
As the organizing committee, they have too much to consider.
After all, any of their actions will be interpreted in various ways by the participating schools.
If they only determine a gold medal spot for the second question this time, it is very likely that in future competitions, there will be fewer and fewer teams challenging such difficult questions.
This is obviously not conducive to the ecology of the competition.
Therefore, they also need to consider carefully at this point.
However, when faced with the chairman's question, the physics professors on the second question review team showed helpless expressions on their faces.
The leader of the review team for the second question was Professor Connor from the University of Pennsylvania. He shrugged and said: "Professor Jos, if you look at the plan of this gold medal team and then compare it with the plans of other groups, you probably won't
I would think so."
"I can only say that if you want the second place team's plan and this team's plan to win the gold medal, it is absolutely unfair to the first place."
Carol Jos was stunned. He didn't expect that Connor would have such a high opinion of this first-ranked team?
He turned to look at the other professors on the second question review team, "Do you all think so too?"
These professors nodded one after another: "Yes, Professor Connor's opinion is also the opinion of all of us. We all believe that only this group from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China is suitable to win the gold medal."
Carol John suddenly became even more curious.
What plan can be unanimously approved by so many professors?
"Then let me take a look at how outstanding this plan is, and let me compare it with the second-place plan."
he said.
Subsequently, the review team for the second question presented both plans to Carroll.
The first thing Carroll looked at was the second-place plan.
I saw him nodding slightly from time to time, shaking his head slightly from time to time, and occasionally frowning.
After reading it, he did not make an evaluation, but looked at the first place, which was the result of Li Mu's group.
Then, the surprise on his face never stopped.
When he finally finished reading, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Uncle Bobo!"
“Is this really something an undergraduate can do?”
He was full of surprise.
Professor Connor smiled and said: "My initial reaction was the same as yours, but you probably don't know that the young man named Li Mu in this group is the young Chinese man who proved the Hadamard conjecture in mathematics."
"What?" Carol couldn't believe it and took another look at the names of the group members. The name MuLi immediately reminded him of the name of the Chinese genius who appeared on the news in September.
It’s true!
"Genius is really the most incredible thing in the world." Carol couldn't help but sigh.
Connor smiled: "So, Professor Jos, do you want to award this gold medal to the second group?"
Hearing this question, Carroll fell into silence for a moment, and then he said: "I'll call Mr. Bruns."
Bruns is a long-time sponsor of the International College Physics Competition, so it would be a good idea to ask this sponsor for his opinion on this matter.
Professor Carroll quickly made a call, and until the end, his face showed surprise, and then he put down the phone and said: "Mr. Bruns suggested that we set up a new special award among our awards!"
"The gold medal will continue to be awarded to two groups, but at the same time, this special award will also be awarded to MuLi's group alone!"
Everyone present was stunned.
Their International College Physics Competition is going to change the award rules because of this genius?
