Scholar’s Starry Sea

21:00 Beijing time, 15:00 Amsterdam time

Wu Bin and his National Team came to Holland, a country of tulips and windmills.

"Wu Bin, tying your tie, what does it look like."

While everyone was waiting for the luggage, Song Nanfeng walked up to Wu Bin and helped him organize it. Said the tie.

Because of the relationship between the country, Wu Bin and their five team members all got a tailor-made suit. This is the first time Wu Bin wore a suit. It was not as awkward as imagined. feel.

Song Nanfeng is one of the leaders of this National Team. He will be responsible for answering questions and participating in the discussion and scoring of the competition test papers. At the same time, Wu Bin also learned that the professor is proficient in English, French and German. Language, in addition, Russian also knows a little bit of fur.

Of course, "a little knowledge of the fur" is what Professor Song Nanfeng said himself. Heaven knows how thick the fur is.

Wu Bin was also relaxed after learning that Professor Song Nanfeng was the leader. If he was replaced by a professor at Peking University, he would probably have to be read to death.

Song Nanfeng also immediately said after seeing Wu Bin that he was striving for this position, so as not to make Wu Bin embarrassed on the road.

Wu Bin who said something was very moved.

Since then, Song Nanfeng also showed various loves for Wu Bin. When he slept on the plane, he was afraid that Wu Bin would get cold and gave him an extra blanket. When he ate, he was afraid that Wu Bin would not have enough to eat and he paid for himself. I bought him an extra one. For example, now, Wu Bin thinks his tie is pretty good, but Song Nanfeng insists on helping him again.

But Song Nanfeng loves Wu Bin so much, it’s not all because Wu Bin chose them from the University of Science and Technology among so many olive branches, but also because... well, just because He chose the University of Science and Technology!

For Wu Bin, who looks like a child who wants to devote himself to scientific research, Song Nanfeng likes it in his heart.

When they left the airport, they were received by a enthusiastic graduate student from Delft University of Technology.

While on the plane, Song Nanfeng had already given Wu Bin to the host country where they had popularized science. Every IPhO host country will equip the team students with an interpreter and tour guide. This is quite a big one for the host country. This is a burden, and the reasons why it is difficult for some countries to undertake IPhO are also due to this.

But in Wu Bin’s view, the main reason is that the competition really lacks attention. If there is no attention, it means that it is not profitable. The money used is completely extracted from the government grants. The trivial matter of having an interpreter and tour guide for each team can stump many countries.

After introducing themselves to each other, Wu Bin learned that this Senior with glasses is named Wang Gaojie, and his graduate program is electrical engineering. He also participated in the competition in high school, so when I heard about this I'm here to help.

After reporting on the first day, everyone went to bed early because they had been on the plane for a long time.

Wake up in the morning on 2nd day, Wu Bin put on a suit and tie, and went to the conference hall with everyone to participate in the grand opening ceremony of the tournament.

As a representative of the China team, Wu Bin is responsible for entering the stadium holding the national flag, so he held the national flag before entering the stadium and asked Gong Chengwei to take a few photos for him to take back and show it to grandfather.

In IPhO this time, a total of 55 National Team Wu participated. The Romanian little brother ranked ahead of Wu Bin. He greeted Wu Bin very enthusiastically in English and said that he had heard about it. The Physics competition in China is very strong, I hope if you have the opportunity, you can ask for advice.

Wu Bin immediately humbly replied, "You guys are also very strong, just talk about it, I can’t talk about asking for advice."

The staff came out and told them in the chat room. Can already enter.

So everyone was refreshed and walked slowly into the venue holding the national flag high.

After entering the venue, Wu Bin found that many people on both sides of the aisle were taking pictures with mobile phones or cameras, making him a little nervous, who represented the image of the country for the first time. He didn’t know whether to smile or to Be serious, but before he can make a decision, he has already reached where he should stand.

Next is the stage of raising the national flag, but I don't know if it saves trouble or the organizer is really poor... The way to raise the national flag is to make the flags of each country appear on the projection screen in turn.

However, when the five-star national flag was slowly rising on the screen, Wu Bin could not help standing up straight and singing the national anthem softly.

When the flag-raising ceremony is over, players from all countries will take the oath together.

"As a participant of IPhO, we promise to be honest, take responsibility for the questions we answer, and play fair!"

Then several special guests invited by the tournament came to the stage to give speeches. What impressed Wu Bin the most was an astronaut named Almand, because his speech was the same as his own ambition, and he believed that all mankind should work together for the stars and the sea.

As soon as the opening ceremony ended, the organizer organized a practical event. Wu Bin originally thought that the organizer would suddenly have money, but when he arrived at the practice site, he understood.

The organizer brought them to a local waste treatment plant called vangansewinkel, which is intended to educate them to explore more ways to utilize resources and think about how to better handle waste and other issues.

It can be said that it is quite deep.

After the visit, even if the opening ceremony is completely over, the team leader will be separated from the students temporarily, because they have to be responsible for translating the test questions. Of course, there is no communication between the team leader and the students during this period. Yes, urgent matters are also conveyed through interpreters.

The teacher goes to translate, and the students visit various scenic spots under the guidance of a guide.

During the visit, Wu Bin discovered that the Netherlands is really a country with a very idyllic style.

There are picturesque idyllic scenery and various iconic windmills everywhere. In short, players from all countries are feasting their eyes.

In the evening, it’s more interesting when contestants from various countries have a buffet together. In terms of language, everyone is good at English and can communicate smoothly, but the topic is completely different. For example, students from European countries talk about climbing and partying. Surfing and other experiences, I can't help thinking about Wu Bin.

"Happiness education in the West is really such a cowhide?"

The little brother in Singapore at another table is also very difficult to deal with. They are talking about the political and economic problems of their country. An absolute surplus value and a variable capital on the right. The show is too good, making Wu Bin and the others doubt if they are fake high school students.

"How about... let's talk about how to calculate the speed of light using the wood eclipse of Io I?" Zhang Fu looked towards Wu Bin, who had just finished a portion of mashed potatoes, and they asked.

Wu Bin shook his head after listening to it: "What's the comparison? It won't be enough if you have won them in the game."

"The evil American imperialism can come The girlfriends who participated in IPhO have changed three batches..." Zhang Fu's expression was very dissatisfied after listening to the conversation of the American students next door.

Next when they were almost finished eating, a few Nordic kids with an average height of 1.9 meters... Well, Old Brother, I came to ask Wu Bin very enthusiastically if they want to go out and find a bar. Pi, Wu Bin and the others were dumbfounded again. The theory test is going to be tomorrow. Now I go to the bar and get a little bit shy.

So after politely rejecting a few Nordic Old Brothers, Wu Bin and them quickly returned to their hotel with only a single thought in their hearts.

'Xippi's... If you lose to these happy educated buddies tomorrow, I will swim back! '
