College Construction: My Principal System

Chapter 15: The Competition begins; the True Strength of the Internet-Famous High School

He welcomed this group of superstars in the scientific world. 

As the principal, Fang Yuan naturally had to give them a new batch of positions. 

He divided everyone into three groups, with three group leaders as general advisers for the three subjects of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. 

The first group, with Mr. Bohr as the leader, led the scientists of the Copenhagen School. 

The second group, with Einstein as the opinion leader, led the scientists of other schools. 

The third group, formed by scientists who did not want to join any school, finally elected Madame Curie as the leader. 

The three groups were responsible for the students who participated in the Mathematical Olympiad, the physics competition, and the chemistry competition respectively. 

Fang Yuan also promised that when the Yun Ding High School campus was further expanded, he would set up a workshop for them to study at the standard European Nuclear Research Center (CERN). 

The division of labor was complete. Everyone expressed their satisfaction and was willing to cooperate. 

Einstein and Bohr argued while they arrived at the basic science laboratory under Madam Curie’s mediation. 

“Then let’s compete and see who gets more gold medals!” 

“Let’s compete, who’s afraid of who!” 

The three parties formed a healthy competitive relationship. 

Although it was said to be a basic science laboratory, the corresponding physics, chemistry, biology, and other experimental equipment were all available. 

There was still half a month before the five major competitions. 

The scientists of the Solvay Conference Sky Group would act as guidance teachers. 

They would help the students of Yun Ding High School reach a higher level. 

… 

At the end of September, the National High School Physics Competition officially began. 

Bohr and a few representatives of the Copenhagen School, along with more than ten students from the physics interest group, went from the preliminary round to the semi-finals, and then from the semi-finals to the finals. 

“Next is the final round. Don’t feel pressured.” 

“According to our usual preparations, dealing with these basic physics knowledge points is not a problem.” 

“Let me count. We have a total of 12 people today, right?” 

“Then tomorrow we will bring 12 medals to Yun Ding High School. Are you confident?” 

Everyone said in unison, “Yes!” 

If anyone else present heard Professor Bohr’s words, they would probably feel that he was really arrogant. 

One had to know that the national High School physics competition, also known as the Chinese High School Physics Olympiad, was a place where all the Heaven’s favorites from Yanjing, Shanghai, Yaodu, and Chang ‘an were gathered here. 

There was no one who was not a one in ten thousand, and there was no one who was not a heaven’s chosen person with extraordinary wisdom. Basically, everyone present was a genius. 

The questions were naturally extremely tricky. 

Even many physics department graduate students found them difficult to answer. 

How could it be easy to break out of the tricky traps in such a competition and obtain fifty first-class gold medals?! 

However, for the students under Bohr’s personal guidance, there really wasn’t much pressure. 

No matter how difficult the questions were, they wouldn’t be as difficult as the questions that teacher Bohr had personally come up with. 

“Alright. Everyone, have a good rest today and conserve your energy. Do your best in the examination room tomorrow!” Bohr said loudly. 

“Students who can’t sleep, read my two papers, ‘On the structure of atoms and molecules’, and ‘The atomic structure of various elements and their physical and chemical properties’ again.” 

“…” The students were silent. 

The next day, when the students came to the examination room and saw the questions on the written test paper, they were dumbfounded. 

This was it? 

This was the High School Students’ Olympic Physics Competition? 

It a little too simple. 

Usually, the questions Bohr asked in class were much more difficult than this. 

In the end, all twelve students from the physics interest group achieved excellent results with eight gold medals, two silver medals, and two bronze medals won between them. 

The entire competition ended. 

Additionally, the Best Overall Performance Award, the Best Theoretical Performance Award, the Best Experimental Performance Award, and the Best Female Student Performance Award were also given out. 

These four individual special awards were all won by Yun Ding High School students. 

… 

Not too long after, the Mathematics Olympiad began. 

Einstein led the mathematics interest group to the finals. 

“Bohr’s students won eight gold medals, two silver medals, and two bronze medals. Everyone should have heard about it.” 

“What do you think of this result?” 

Without waiting for the students to answer, Einstein took over the conversation and answered his own question, 

“If you ask me, it’s useless. If I were to lead the physics interest group, all twelve should be gold medals!” 

“Math, huh? It’s our usual hobby. Our results are much better than theirs. It’s good that everyone can perform normally.” 

“According to our previous experience, the questions are not difficult.” 

“For knowledge-based questions involving the Fourier analysis and Riemann geometry, I’ve already let you all study on your own in advance. It’s not a big problem.” 

“Come on, everyone. Tomorrow’s stage belongs to you all!” 

At the Olympic Math competition venue, the students performed as usual. 

Twenty-one students received twelve gold medals and nine silver medals. 

… 

The chemistry interest group led by Madame Curie also walked onto the National High school Chemistry Competition stage. 

The final result was that thirty students had received ten gold medals, ten silver medals, and ten bronze medals. 

… 

The three major competitions in mathematics, physics, and chemistry were over. 

In addition, the two major competitions in biology and information science, which had been held over half a month ago, were also over. 

The official internal statistics of the results of the five major competitions were released. 

The final rankings were to be given according to the provinces and schools. 

Out of the 250 gold medals in the five competitions, Yan Jing won 52 gold medals and was ranked first, Shanghai won 48 gold medals and was ranked second, Yaodu won 39 gold medals and was ranked third, Jingcheng City won 33 gold medals and was ranked fourth, Chang ‘an won 19 gold medals and was ranked fifth, Jiangcheng won 15 gold medals and was ranked sixth. 

… 

What was different from the previous years was that, as a second-tier city in the country, Jingcheng City basically did not appear in the top 10 provinces and cities in previous years, but this time, it broke out of the trap. 

It actually obtained the fourth place in the overall ranking, second only to the three top tier cities: Yanjing, Shanghai, and Yaodu. 

And what was even more surprising was that Jingcheng city, apart from No. 1 High School and the Foreign Language School, received a total of three gold medals. 

The remaining thirty gold medals were all taken by Yun Ding High School: a private high school! 

“A private school alone won 30 gold medals? What kind of concept is that?” 

“Terrifying! This school won more gold medals than the entire city of Chang ‘an!” 

“That’s not all. I heard that the total number of students participating in the competition was way fewer than the other schools.” 

“Yeah, it seems that only the students from the special interest clubs came.”

“Really? I’ll go and take a look. Hiss — the worst student participating in the competition is still a bronze medal.” 

“Could it be… this is the true strength of that internet celebrity school?” 

The results of Yun Ding High School soon attracted the amazement of the people from the Basic Education Department of the Education Bureau. 

Moreover, it further attracted the attention of the leader, Wei Wen. 

“I remember that the education media under our unit, the High School education observation team, has the headquarters set up in Jing City. Give their president a call. If there’s an opportunity, I want to contact the principal of Yun Ding High School, Fang Yuan, for an interview.”
