From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 59 The National Team List Released

As for why the little brother suddenly cried, Lin Xiao was puzzled by the monk of Zhang Er.

He probably wouldn't have thought that this was actually because the little brother's previous self-confidence was broken by his showmanship.

But no matter what, the relatives didn't blame him. Instead, they gave the little brother a scolding, roughly meaning "Why are you crying, you scared your brother Lin Xiao".

There is no way, when Lin Xiao is really promising, these relatives basically turn to him.

Of course, the most important thing was that the little brother didn't want to say why he was crying. He couldn't say that Lin Xiao was too inappropriate when he did the questions, and then hit himself hard.

This is too embarrassing.

After that, Lin Xiao found that the little brother didn't even dare to look at him anymore, and even avoided him when doing anything, which only made him more confused.

I... Didn't I just accidentally solve a junior high school problem with functional analysis? Why does he think of himself like that?

Is it that scary?

With this confusion, Lin Xiao finally left his relatives' house after having a meal here, and continued to spend the rest of the Spring Festival holiday.

……

Time passed quickly, and the ten-day holiday for the New Year finally passed. Of course, for Lin Xiao, there was no problem of passing or not, because he still enjoyed the treatment of not having to go to class.

Of course, for most of the students who have already been admitted to the university, they basically don't have to go to class at all. Many of these students at the top level have even started to enjoy the summer vacation in advance.

In this way, we came to the middle and late March.

The second phase of the selection competition for the mathematics national team began to report on March 3. Lin Xiao and Sun Yu formed a team again. Under the leadership of the Qin Provincial Mathematical Association, they came to the registration place, the Second Affiliated Middle School of East China Normal University.

Needless to say after that, the opening ceremony will be held on the 19th, the exams will be held on the 20th and 21st, and the lectures will continue after that.

Lin Xiao has lost interest in competition exams and such lectures, and still focuses on undergraduate mathematics books.

Another month has passed, and he has naturally read a lot more mathematics books, and now he has begun to study topology.

Topology is a very interesting mathematical subject. I believe that many people have seen a video, that is, the wire plug is wrapped around the leg of the table. Get the plug out, but for knot theory in topology, there's no need to lift the table at all.

Because this rope is actually still in a space, its two knots a and b are equivalent if and only if they can be transformed into each other through the composition of finite Reidemeister transformations.

Once the equivalence is proved, it can be transformed back into a one-dimensional straight line without kinks somehow.

Of course, topology is still difficult, and the requirements for talent are relatively high, especially the spatial imagination ability must be strong. For example, watching the video of taking out the wire plug from the table leg, some people watch it once or twice, and probably imagine I can figure out how it was twisted out, and some people may still look confused after watching it nine or ten times.

As for Lin Xiao's talent, needless to say, his talent is comprehensive, so he can learn topology very quickly.

Of course, learning these college mathematics is one aspect. For this selection competition, Lin Xiao still has to spend a little energy to deal with it. At least one or two hours a day will be spent, right?
Otherwise, it would be too disrespectful to the national team.

So Lin Xiao still reluctantly does a few questions every day to show his respect.

As for the exam or something, it is naturally dry and Dandan (simple).

So, at 3:28 am on March 10, the closing ceremony of the second stage selection began.

"The final grades are evaluated based on the final average grades of the four exams in the first and second phases. Next, I will announce the six students who will finally stand out from the sixty training team members."

On the rostrum, an honorary director from the Huaguo Mathematical Society spoke into the microphone.

At this time, the fifteen math geniuses who entered the second stage of selection, except for Lin Xiao and a few students who were completely sure, held their breath.

"No.1, student Lin Xiao, the four scores are all 126 points, and the average score is 126 points. Congratulations, you have become the first student in the history of our training team to get full marks in all four selection exams. I believe you can do it too." In the arena of the International Mathematical Olympiad, aim for a gold medal for our country!"

Dozens of participants in the conference room all applauded, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The difficulty of the second selection test was even higher than the first one. As a result, Lin Xiao was still able to secure full marks. Know what will happen to this student after he enters the university.

Maybe, these seniors in mathematics who were present could only call themselves seniors in front of Lin Xiao for a few years.

However, they all have the same idea in their hearts, that is, the geniuses like Hua Guo, I really hope that there will be more of them.

I only hope that the Lord of Heaven will revive and send down talents in an eclectic manner.

……

Afterwards, the honorary director continued to announce the other five contestants. No.2 was that Ouyang Sheng, with an average score of 121 points. In this round of selection exams, he also scored 126 points in one round. He is also very talented. You can get a gold medal.

Of course, even if you win the gold medal, the full score is not necessarily the case. Sometimes in the IMO competition, the questions are simple, and there are many people who get full marks, but sometimes the questions are difficult, and there are quite few people who can get full marks. For example, in the 2017 IMO competition, The Huaguo team won five gold medals and one silver medal, but the highest score was only 32 points.

However, most people still believe that Lin Xiao can get full marks. If there is only one person in the Hua Guo team who can get full marks, then this person must be Lin Xiao.

Afterwards, the names of the other four contestants were reported one by one. Among them, Sun Yu, who came from Qin Province with Lin Xiao, really entered the top six, ranking fifth.

That is to say, in this Huaguo Mathematics National Team, Qin Sheng really made an unprecedented breakthrough. Two players entered the national team together and will represent Huaguo in the [-]th IMO Competition!

Upon receiving the news, Lin Xiao also congratulated Sun Yu. Now, the Qin Provincial Mathematical Society is probably overjoyed, right?
Why don't you give them some rewards or something?
