Chapter 74 I have to take on more responsibilities

Xu You thought about it and felt that Lu Zhiyao was not being modest.
Before, when Lu Zhiyao said that she was just an ordinary student, Xu You thought she was exaggerating.
But after Xu You continued to improve.
I also really understood what Lu Zhiyao meant by ordinariness.
Although Lu Zhiyao has always been ranked first in the No. 4 Middle School Ranking.
But the scores of individual subjects are relatively ordinary.
Every subject is good, but there is no particular subject that stands out.
Especially in mathematics, it is rare to even pass 140 points.
If I hadn't made progress under Xu You's guidance, I probably wouldn't have been able to get into Ji University.
[Xu You: Okay, but I didn’t expect you to choose philosophy as your major. It sounds very vague.]
【Lu Zhiyao: That’s because you don’t understand. Do you know what the foundation of all subjects is?】
[Xu You: I know, it’s mathematics]
【Lu Zhiyao: Mathematics and philosophy are the foundation of all disciplines】
[Xu You: Philosophy? Does studying philosophy mean that you can do scientific research?]
[Lu Zhiyao: This cannot be directly linked. But without philosophy, human civilization would never have reached its current level.]
Xu You thought about it carefully and felt that there seemed to be some truth in it.
Like the Eastern philosophers such as Confucius, Lao Tzu, Plato, Aristotle, etc.
It has indeed made an indispensable contribution to the progress of human society.
Without those great philosophers and thinkers, human civilization would be soulless.
Even the former president of Ji University, Mr. He Qing, taught in the Philosophy Department of Ji University.
[Xu You: It seems that my knowledge is indeed limited. I will find time to discuss philosophy with you in the future.]
[Lu Zhiyao: Well, actually the main reason is that I hate science. Well, anyway, I can finally start college life. You promised to treat me to a meal at Jida University, so don’t break it.]
[Xu You: No problem, I’ll come back after I finish participating in IPhO]
【Lu Zhiyao: Come on, I’m waiting for your good news】
At the end of July, the Chinese Physical Competition delegation flew from Jijing to Baisu, the venue of this year's IPhO.
This is also the first time Xu You has traveled to such a faraway place.
After getting off the plane, the host staff arranged for everyone to go to the hotel to rest.
The time in China is five hours ahead of that in Baisu, so the difference is not too big. Everyone can basically adapt quickly and there is no need to adjust to the time difference.
What made the team members feel a little uncomfortable was.
This time, the team manager and coaching staff were unable to stay in the same hotel as the players, but instead stayed in different hotels several kilometers apart.
This is because, before the competition, team leaders from each country will see the questions in advance and discuss and translate the questions.
Therefore, the team leaders and team members of each country will not be able to contact each other after this.
But the host will provide an interpreter for each country's players to help everyone communicate on various matters.
Xu You was not affected by this.
Over the years, Xu You has become accustomed to being independent.
But other teammates may not be as independent as Xu You.
At this time, Xu You knew that he had to take on more responsibilities.
"Everyone, relax. Our translator is a Chinese student studying in Baisu. You can feel free to contact him if you have any questions. We should not leave the hotel these few days. Go to bed early at night and stay in good shape. Lin Shi, call me if you have any questions. I've added your number to the whitelist."
Because Lin Shi was one of the few girls in the team, she could only live in a room by herself.
After all, you are far away from home, without a team leader or coach around you, and you are a girl living alone. If you encounter any emergency at night, you will inevitably be at a loss.
Therefore, Xu You must make Lin Shi feel safe enough.
"I know. The security here is pretty good. It should be safe."
Lin Shi is not the kind of girl who was spoiled when she was growing up. Her ability to be independent is even stronger than many boys.
However, Xu You's words did make Lin Shi feel very warm in her heart .
"This time, the five of us will strive to take the top five places. The strength of our Chinese Sports Team is absolutely unique. The only others that are slightly competitive are the Soviet Union, South Korea, and the United States." Luo Wenkun said.
"Don't think about these things during the competition. Just do your best. Don't check the questions before the lab exam is over. Just do everything as you normally do during training."
This time, without a question-checking geek like Hu Shucheng, Xu You promised not to check the questions right after the exam.
"Okay, okay, got it."
After the opening ceremony, the team leaders from various countries attended the formal meeting of the International Committee together.
After passing all the test questions, the Chinese team leader started the translation work without stopping.
In order to ensure that the translation can be completed on time, they have to work all night.
After completing the translation overnight, the Chinese team leader applied to the organizing committee to allow the students to receive an additional English test paper.
"You already have the Chinese test paper, why do you need the English test paper?"
The Chinese team leader did not expect that this time, the organizing committee actually rejected this request.
In fact, asking for an extra English test paper may not be of any help to the team members.
But in order to ensure that the team members are not affected by translation issues as much as possible.
The team leader racked his brains and tried hard to get this matter from the organizing committee.
"Some of our team members grew up abroad and are used to reading English questions. It's just an extra version of the test paper, and it won't have any impact. We have bilingual test papers in Chinese and English every year, so why can't we have it this time?"
After the Chinese team leader's strenuous efforts, the organizing committee finally agreed to this request.
Next, the theoretical and experimental exams began one after another.
After entering the examination room and seeing the questions.
The five members of China's team all had a feeling of making light of a heavy task.
Through their usual high-intensity training, they have already experienced various complex question types.
When I actually got to the competition, I felt that the questions were even simpler than usual.
After the exam, everyone did not talk about the exam as agreed before.
But through each other's states, they could also tell that everyone's answers should be good.
After finishing the lab test, the team members could finally let go of their nervousness and talk freely about the test.
"Haha, the theory questions are indeed easier than the ones I usually practice. IPhO is just like this."
"When I was doing the experiment, the foreigner kept staring at me, which made me almost unable to hold the experimental equipment steadily. Fortunately, I got used to it and my hands stopped shaking."
"Please hurry up and announce the results. I really want to touch the IPhO gold medal."
After the exam, contestants from various countries gave each other small gifts.
Although everyone represents different countries in the competition.
But the players from different countries are actually very friendly with each other.
Xu You and others also took out the small gifts they had prepared and exchanged them with players from other countries.
These gifts are not expensive, most of them are coins from various countries, or some other small items.
But they are all very memorable.
Finally, on the seventh day, the final results and award results came out.
