Chapter 20: The competition begins!
"Very good, there is no problem with the analysis of the question, and the calculation result is completely correct. The only drawback is that the method is a bit complicated, and a few steps in the middle can be simplified. However, this is the first time I have done this kind of question, and it is already very good. I will explain the standard solution in a moment, and you can listen again."
Even though he had some doubts in his heart, he thought that Xu You's method was completely different from the reference answer and it was impossible that he had solved this type of question before.
"Okay, thank you, teacher."
Knowing that what he did was right, Xu You felt a little relieved.
But Xu You didn't feel very happy about getting the question right.
Just now, Xu You solved this problem completely through deep learning.
If converted, it has taken nearly an hour.
This speed is still far from the level to win a prize in the semi-finals.
Xu You secretly made up his mind that he must study harder from now on.
After Gao Shang finished marking Xu You's questions, Hu Shucheng also came up with his notebook.
Gao Shang was in a good mood when he looked at Hu Shucheng's answer sheet.
Hu Shucheng is a typical contestant and his method of solving problems is very conventional.
With just a dozen formulas, the problem was solved neatly.
"Not bad, it's close to the standard answer, full marks."
Looking at Hu Shucheng's answer sheet, Xu You realized his own gap.
These are students who are truly at the competition level.
And when Hu Shucheng saw Xu You's problem-solving process.
My mood became even heavier.
Originally, Hu Shucheng thought that Xu You might be bluffing him and might have secretly started preparing for the competition.
But looking at Xu You's problem-solving process, it is obvious that he came up with an unconventional approach.
I had never done similar questions before, but I managed to answer them relying only on my own analytical skills.
And faster than doing it yourself.
Such a person is truly terrifying!
While hesitating, Hu Shucheng couldn't help scratching his hair with his left hand.
Looking at Hu Shucheng's appearance, Gao Shang couldn't help but recall his past.
Once upon a time, I also had curly hair like Hu Shucheng.
But with daily scratching, the amount of hair gradually decreased.
It has become the "bald roll" of today.
As a person who has experienced this, Gao Shang could not help but advise Hu Shucheng:
"Hu Shucheng, stop pulling your hair all the time. I had this bad habit when I was young."
After taking a look at Gao Shang's appearance, Hu Shucheng was so scared that he immediately stopped what he was doing.
After the two returned to their seats, Hu Shucheng couldn't help but ask about Xu You's question.
"Xu You, did you really solve it this way?"
"Yeah, I haven't started doing the semi-final questions yet, so I just tried my own thinking. Your method is still good, I still need to do more questions."
What Xu You said was indeed true, but it undoubtedly sounded hurtful to Hu Shucheng.
I have worked hard to learn competition for almost two years, but I am not as fast as a newcomer who has just started competition.
This inevitably made Hu Shucheng feel a little disappointed.
Even when Gao Shang continued his lecture, I was not in the mood to listen.
It was not until the bell rang that Hu Shucheng regained his spirits.
Next, it’s time for physical exercises.
No matter what, the physical exercises during class are indisputably Hu Shucheng’s moment.
When Hu Shucheng stands on the podium, he will attract the attention of all the teachers and students in the school.
This is the king of fuck.
Xu You also quickly packed up his books and came to the playground, ready to line up for exercises.
At this time, several physical education teachers walked towards Xu You.
"Is this the child?"
"Yes, that's him."
After confirming Xu You's identity, a physical education teacher said to Xu You:
"You should lead the exercise today. I think you do it quite well and it's very inspiring."
Xu You was also surprised when he heard this.
My gymnastics skills have actually been noticed by the physical education teachers?
Since the physical education teachers had personally invited him, Xu You couldn't refuse and walked towards the podium.
At this time, Hu Shucheng had already arrived at the podium, ready to lead the exercises.
"Student Hu Shucheng, you should take a rest today. Let someone else lead the exercises for the day."
Hu Shucheng was stunned. He never said he was tired.
Why are you suddenly not letting me lead the exercise?
I originally wanted to use the break to vent my feelings.
"Forget it, let's give the younger generation a chance."
Hu Shucheng thought that he was, after all, a great leader and his position could not be shaken .
But when Hu Shucheng saw the person who replaced him, he was shocked.
"Xu You?"
Just now, Xu You had defeated Hu Shucheng in the physical competition training ground.
Now, he even wants to fight for his position as the king?
“They made me come up here.”
Xu You glanced at the physical education teachers, indicating that he had no intention of usurping the throne.
Hu Shucheng had no choice but to give up the platform.
In fact, the main reason why the physical education teacher asked Hu Shucheng to lead the exercises was that he wanted Hu Shucheng to motivate the students to do exercises more enthusiastically.
But after a long time, they discovered.
More students were watching Hu Shucheng doing exercises and laughing secretly below.
It has no positive effect at all
It just so happened that Xu You had been doing exercises very seriously recently, so the physical education team decided to let Xu You lead the group in exercises for a day to see the results.
When everyone saw that the person leading the exercise had changed, they all looked towards the podium curiously.
As the music for the physical exercise during class breaks sounded, Xu You began to do the exercises.
Different from Hu Shucheng's exaggerated and somewhat flamboyant actions.
Although he also performed the exercises seriously, Xu You's movements seemed much more heroic.
It brings a positive feeling to students.
This also made many students unconsciously follow Xu You and start doing exercises seriously.
“It’s working great!”
Seeing the students’ physical exercises today, the physical education teachers all felt that they had found the right person, Xu You.
Although Hu Shucheng was sent back to the playground, he was still doing exercises hard.
However, compared with Xu You on the podium, Hu Shucheng was obviously much dimmer.
…
As time goes by, summer vacation finally arrives.
For the new high school seniors, summer vacation only lasts for two weeks.
But for Xu You and others who were preparing for the competition, they even lost these two weeks of rest time.
Xu You didn't feel it was that hard. To him, learning itself was a happy thing.
During the days when there were no exercises during breaks, Xu You and Hu Shucheng still insisted on doing exercises every day and learning from each other's exercise skills.
Hu Shucheng and Xu You gradually became familiar with each other. Even though Xu You took away his throne as King Cao, it was a good thing to have such a like-minded friend.
"Xu You, let's set a goal. Let's get into the National College together and be admitted to Ji University? Ji University's physics department is the best in the country. Then we can do exercises together at Ji University. Wouldn't that be great?"
Although Xu You had no interest in doing physical exercises .
But if there is an opportunity to be admitted to a prestigious school, Xu You will definitely try his best to get it.
On September 5, the preliminary round of the physics competition began.
The preliminary round of the physics competition is held in this city, and the questions are unified across the country.
The test lasts for three hours from 9:00 to 12:00, and the total score is 200 points.
According to Ningjiang Province’s previous results, the score line for entering the semi-finals is around 110 points.
These days, Xu You has also made sufficient preparations.
Not only did I do multiple sets of preliminary practice papers, but I also finished almost all the semi-final questions.
