Xueba's Sea of ​​Stars

Chapter 176 "Flawless Physics"

When it comes to clubs, Wu Bin has to feel that this University of Science and Technology really does not follow the usual path from inside to outside.

I heard from my cousin Han Zhong that although not everyone is desperate to get into the Zhe University Association, quite a few people are racking their brains for it.

But HKUST does not exist.

What?Need a meeting after joining?Need a speech?Want to handle student daily affairs?

Then you come to help me with the generalization of digital circuits, optical calculus, American and Canadian C language homework? (Add a blank eye)
There is a legend circulating on campus that there was a time when the Yangcheng Universiade was looking for torchbearers in various colleges and universities. As a result, all the other schools were present were representatives of the student unions, and only the University of Science and Technology sent representatives from the three sports associations. The scene was once very embarrassing.

Communication is not smooth!

So in summary, Wu Bin personally thinks it’s no wonder why people say that it’s better not to come to HKUST if they don’t want to do scientific research wholeheartedly. With this school atmosphere, there is really too little training in the world.

After dinner, Wu Bin and Lin Ziqi went to the library.

After adapting to the rhythm of the freshman year, Wu Bin has his own understanding of the choice of courses, and he spends all the rest of his time in the library.

Whoo!The HKUST library is really great. Every day, the self-study room and the outside are full of people, and everyone keeps reading. It is even quieter than the classroom in the third year of high school, and at the same time it is full of learning atmosphere.

I love the inside!

After consulting Professor Song Nanfeng, Wu Bin had a list of the four major mechanics in his hand, which recorded the related books that Professor Song considered must-read and recommended.

For Wu Bin, who knows a thing or two about the four major mechanics, his choice is to quickly read all the must-read books first, and then slowly study and research in depth after understanding the core concepts.

After reading the four equations of electrodynamics, classical electrodynamics and Maxwell, it seems that the whole world is described by it.The relativity principle of the special theory of relativity and the principle of the constant speed of light outline a new system with just a few strokes.

When it came to thermodynamics and statistical physics, Wu Bin looked at the world from a different perspective, but he hadn’t finished appreciating the wave function, operator, measurement, dynamics, and identity postulates of quantum mechanics. And let a physical building different from daily experience rise from the ground.

Complete and beautiful.

【Physics is a complete and beautiful system】

This sentence once took deep root in Wu Bin's heart. Since he started studying physics in high school, he believed that everything has laws, and these laws can be easily deduced through a few assumptions.

But when Wu Bin told Song Nanfeng that he wanted to study superstring theory and asked him for advice, Song Nanfeng asked him.

"Why do you want to study superstring theory?"

"Because physics should be the most flawless, I want to unify all physical theories."

Song Nanfeng laughed after hearing this, then looked up to the sky and sighed.

"When I was young, like you, I believed that physics was perfect and invulnerable, but as I studied more and more, the most beautiful scenery in front of me was shrouded in thick fog. I tried desperately to get rid of it. Thick fog, look how beautiful it is inside, but what greeted me... was only darkness."

"What kind of despair is that..."

Hearing Professor Song Nanfeng's tone, Wu Bin couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

"70% of the world's physics people are studying condensed matter, but superstring theory can be accurate to a specific number, 1046 people, which is a number calculated by Harvard University the year before last, and among these 1046 people, there are many now. I also did math."

"Since the discovery of string theory in 1930, the physics world has never discovered it again. This sentence means too many things. No one knows whether this path is right or wrong."

"Are you scared?" Song Nanfeng patted Wu Bin on the shoulder after seeing Wu Bin's silence.

"No, I just feel shocked. In addition, everything you said, Professor, will become the source of motivation for me to continue on this road."

"Hahahahahaha..." Song Nanfeng burst out into a burst of laughter, patted Wu Bin's shoulder vigorously, and said something from the bottom of his heart: "If even you can't do it, it probably only shows that this road It’s wrong.”

……

Of course, but if he wants to study superstring theory, or even make it a step further, Wu Bin's current knowledge is far from enough. He still has a lot to learn, a lot.

Lin Ziqi, who was flipping through the mechanics book, covered her mouth and yawned, and took a look at Wu Bin.

'Laughing again...'

Lin Ziqi couldn't help shaking her head. She was really curious about the world in the minds of people who can laugh when reading a book like "Principle of Quantum Mechanics".

When it was time for dinner in the evening, Wu Bin received a text message from Li Yan, saying that he still had some matters to deal with in the student union, so he should go to eat first.

That's right, when almost no one is willing to go to the student union, Li Yan volunteered to join in. After all, for him, the university life, which is just studying, is too boring, and dealing with all kinds of people is the most important thing. His fun, of course, is all done while he is sure to keep his GPA above 3.7.

Just when she was about to put away her phone, another text message was sent, it was from Gu Ningshan.

After coming to HKUST, Wu Bin was busy at the beginning because he was familiar with the rhythm of the university, so after about a week, Gu Ningshan took the initiative to go to their department to find him, so she was inevitably reprimanded for "cold-blooded" and "ruthless" "Fortunately, I gave you the book!"

Feeling ashamed, Wu Bin immediately invited this "primary school sister" to a restaurant to have a good meal, which made her calm down.

In the text message, Gu Ningshan told Wu Bin that she was going to have dinner, would you like to come together, and by the way, discuss with him the semiconductor that was not discussed last time.

In Wu Bin's eyes, only the word semiconductor was left in this text message, so he immediately replied, "See you in the East Canteen!"

"Gu Ningshan said she wanted to eat with us." After packing his schoolbag, Wu Bin whispered to Lin Ziqi.

"Okay, got it." Lin Ziqi nodded, but sighed in her heart.

She had met this "elementary lady" who looked like a porcelain doll two weeks ago, and she had a good feeling for her, after all, she was cute.

However, once she chatted with Wu Bin, she could only serve as the background board. There was no way, the two of them were chatting like gods, and they couldn't get in the way at all, which made her wonder if she was a fake college student.

Riding a bicycle to the East Canteen, greeted Gu Ningshan who arrived first at the door, and then the three of them walked into the canteen together.

After ordering the meal, Wu Bin said as soon as he sat down, "The DDR4 memory I mentioned last time..."

"Wait a minute!" Seeing Wu Bin's impatient look, Lin Ziqi immediately clapped her hands.

"What's wrong?" Wu Bin looked at her strangely.

Lin Ziqi turned her head around, in order not to be left alone, she came up with a topic and looked at Gu Ningshan and asked, "Ningshan, I have been very curious about the Young Court before, can you tell me what the Young Court is like?" Faculty, for example, how did you get in?"

Gu Ningshan nodded after listening, and returned: "Well, there is nothing special about it. As for how I got in, I took the written test of physics and mathematics. There are mathematics Ⅰ and Ⅱ and physics Ⅰ and Ⅱ. The Ⅱ refers to all high school content. Exam." He pressed his index finger and thumb together, "It's a bit competitive."

"What about Ⅰ?" Lin Ziqi asked, taking a look at Wu Bin's expression by the way, and found that he was also quite curious, waiting to listen with his eyes wide open.

"I? It's like this. They first let me take a class on university content for an hour, and then I will test the content I have taught. During the exam, I can read the notes I took during the class, and nothing else."

"Oh~ it's really interesting, what did you test at that time?"

"Mathematics taught me the limit of numbers for an hour. It's not too difficult. It's almost equal to the first [-] questions of Jimidovich, omitting the difficulty of more difficult and abstract proof questions."

"..."

Taking a mouthful to hide her embarrassment of being short in mathematics, Lin Ziqi then asked, "What about physics?"

"Simple harmonic vibration, the difficulty is about the same as Gao Miao's, but at that time, it seemed that someone asked dr/dt why d couldn't make an appointment, so the teacher asked him to go home, wash and sleep."

"It's really cruel..."

Of course Lin Ziqi has learned the simple harmonic vibration on the sublime, but she doesn't think it is simple at all!Isn’t it embarrassing for people to have to answer questions after speaking for an hour?

"Are there any other tests after passing the written test?" Wu Bin asked vaguely after biting off the lion's head.

"Yes, there are interviews. There are both academic interviews and life interviews." Gu Ningshan recalled for a while while talking, and then said: "Academic interviews are mathematics, physics and chemistry teachers who ask me questions in turn. How many questions you ask depends on the teacher's mood. Anyway I was studying mathematics, physics and chemistry."

"Mathematics requires me to draw a rough image of f(x)=xsin(1/x), physics requires me to build a model to estimate the pressure of the wind blowing the wall, chemistry...what is chemistry, oh yes, let me Answer how acid rain is formed.”

"The life interview is rather stupid. It feels a bit like coping with the above. Asking me if I like to make friends with others in my original school, and my usual hobbies and so on, it's just boring..."

After hearing this, Lin Ziqi understood the school quite well. After all, children who were only in the third grade of junior high school were suddenly sent to university, so they still needed to pay attention to psychological problems.

"Oh, that's right." Gu Ningshan, who was drinking soup, suddenly remembered something and said: "At that time, the questions of Physics II were given by Professor Ye, and the third question was a multiple-choice question, which was asked by the number one university in physics in China. which one."

"Pfft..." Wu Bin almost spat out after taking a mouthful of food, "Are you so childish!? What options are there?"

"Jinghua, Aurora, Zheda and HKUST."

"It's okay...don't give Peking University the option to be so coquettish."

In fact, the University of Science and Technology... On the bright side, it always says that there are not many students, so it is not at the forefront of various rankings, and at the same time, it does not care about such rankings.

But in 10, someone made a statistics on the borrowing list of C9 and Taijing University Library. It really spread crazy on the forums of various universities. Among them, students from the University of Science and Technology were especially active. The reason is of course simple...

At that time, Peking University’s annual borrowing ranking was like this.

1 Those things in the Ming Dynasty, the bright moon of the year 284
2 Reading Library, Zhang Lixian 181
3 The Complete Works of Marx and Engels, Marx 153
4 The Deer and Ding Ji, Jin Yong, 138
5 Notes on Tomb Raiders, Nanpai Third Uncle 138
6 Norton anthology of English literature /Abrams, MH(Meyer Howard) 136
7 Tibetan Code, Homa 128
8 Heavenly Dragon Babu, Jin Yong, 123
9 Yitian Tulong Ji, Jin Yong, 118
10 Longman FLTRP New Concept English, Alexander 118
11 Classical electrodynamics, Jackson 116
……

The Shanghai Jiaotong University in the back is similar. The first is the Tomb Raiders Notes, and then those things in the Ming Dynasty and Tianlong Babu.

As for the National Jinghua University of Taiwan...the front is basically the dragon family, notes on tomb robbers, and Shen Congwen's complete works. You can't read books like Feynman's physics lectures until the 8th.

But Aurora and HKUST have completely different styles of painting, especially HKUST, whose borrowing list is like this.

1 Solutions to thousands of problems in electromagnetism, Zhang Zhixiang 182
2 Study Guide for Mathematical and Physical Methods, Yao Duanzheng 129
3 Electromagnetics and Electrodynamics, Liu Jinying 113
4 Guidance on Solving Problems with Mathematical and Physical Methods, Hu Sizhu 107
5 Mathematical Analysis Problem Set Solution 94, Demidovich [-]
6 Electrodynamics problem solving Lin Xuanying, Zhang Zhixiang 91
7 Atomic Physics, Yang Fujia 90
8 Mathematical Analysis Problem Set Solution 84, Jimedovich [-]
9 Summary of Linear Algebra Problem Solving Methods and Skills, Mao Gangyuan 83
10 Fundamentals of Solid State Physics, Yan Shousheng 80
The painting style is simply a clear stream in C9...so it was talked about at the time.

Smiling and shaking his head, Wu Bin continued to eat.

Lin Ziqi also covered her mouth and smiled for a long time before continuing to ask: "Then if you want to enter the University of Science and Technology, there is only one answer?"

"Yes~" Gu Ningshan spread her hands, "And after we report, the first thing we do is take the exam, English and computer in the morning, mathematics and physics in the afternoon, it is also very characteristic of the University of Science and Technology."

"But our military training is much easier than yours. Excluding weekends and weekends, we trained for about 8 days, and basically stood in the shade of a tree for 15 minutes in a military posture. Later, the instructor simply asked us to sing in a circle."

"Wow! This is so happy!" Lin Ziqi said and stretched out her right arm with great resentment, "Look, this military training has exposed me, and I still haven't come back in vain."

"Did you not wear sunscreen?" Wu Bin asked strangely.

"I have applied it, but we are standing in the sun and exposed to the sun! Hey, the effect of sunscreen is very small. Huh... It makes me uncomfortable to think about it, and I don't know if I can go back for nothing."

"Actually, a little darker looks healthier. I think you look pretty like this."

"Cough..." Lin Ziqi turned her head and coughed after hearing this, then turned back to stare at Wu Bin and said, "By the way, why do you feel that you are not so dark?"

Wu Bin rubbed his face and thought for a while, then said, "It must have been a bit dark when I finished the training, but I came back for nothing in a week."

"I don't want to talk to Europeans like you!" Lin Ziqi gave Wu Bin a blank look, and continued to ask Gu Ningshan: "Is everything you learn in the youth academy difficult?"

"In terms of difficulty... it's not bad, basically it's just smashing all the concepts I established from reading books, then reconstructing, smashing again, reconstructing again, and the cycle is endless."

"Oh, by the way, Wu Bin." Gu Ningshan suddenly looked to the right.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Wu Bin, who was eating, raised his head in confusion.

"Are you reading English books now?"

"Yes, those in class."

"I recommend that you read New Oriental's books if you have time. Whether you read arXiv or TOEFL IELTS, it will be very useful."

"Oh, good." Wu Bin nodded and continued eating.
