Chapter 555: The Interview Begins
Liu Donglai and his wife are very worried about their son, many of these professors are gray-haired, with glasses and a knowledgeable look, their son is a peerless genius, but after all, the study time is still short, maybe one or two professors can still deal with it, so many professors together, who can deal with it?
"Don't panic, Professor Ding said, many of these people are optimistic about Liu Lang, I hope he can pass the exam, this time I just made up the numbers, and I won't be embarrassed for Liu Lang!"
Mo Lan whispered to Xu Wenxiu.
Ding Huaizhong's identity today is Liu Lang's family and friend group, if he does not have this identity, he is not qualified to sit here, because Liu Lang is not a high-energy physics major, but his status at Stanford University is still very high, and as a member of the school's expert committee, he understands many important decisions of the school.
The school has also discussed the problem of Liu Lang, Liu Lang, a six-year-old child, is a great topic in itself, he is a genius, which is irrefutable, and even the professors who are geniuses to Stanford University are incredible, and he also passed the written exam easily, and it makes people feel that he is here to take a middle school exam, so the school's opinion is to admit him.
"Admit Liu Lang as much as possible and make him the youngest graduate student in the history of Stanford University!"
This is what the principal of Stanford said when he held a meeting, and with this sentence, Ding Huaizhong felt that Liu Lang already had eighty percent hope.
If in China, the principal speaks, it is 100% sure, but in the United States, the principal's words are only on behalf of his own opinions, of course, his opinion is very important, but it may not convince other teachers, if Liu Lang is an ordinary student, the principal's words will probably be able to play some role, maybe the probability of one percent will be increased to two or three percent, but Liu Lang himself is a genius, and most of those professors also agree that under this cognition, they will appropriately "release water" during the interview.
The so-called "release water" does not mean cheating, but they will choose some easy exam questions to ask, these are the most basic questions, if the other party can't answer it, it means that his foundation is very poor, I believe that Liu Lang is not just a student with good grades in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and weak professional knowledge.
But there are always exceptions to everything, some professors are not so easy to deal with, they have a very eccentric temperament, some people are "cautious", the results of research are always hidden, and they are very angry when they see others surpassing themselves, such as the Humphrey who discovered sodium, potassium, chlorine, fluorine, iodine and other elements. David, he deserves to be an outstanding scientist, but he is very jealous of the student named Faraday, because this student's achievements in electricity surpass him, so as the president of the Royal Society, he tried every possible way to suppress Faraday, but in the end this incident became the biggest stain on his life.
There are also scientists who will repay, all those theories that are contrary to their own views will be suppressed, or even suppressed for the sake of suppression, without regard to the truth of science, the representative of this is the great Sir Newton, short-tempered, selfish, and extremely narcissistic is the description of his character by later generations, Hooke, Leibniz and other contemporaries have been ridiculed by him, and even he will hire a "water army" Arbitrarily fabricating facts to slander the other person's personality, if he does not have those achievements that shine like the sun, he himself is an out-and-out evil person.
David and Newton are both famous scientists, and their personalities are known all over the world, but these bad sides are not very important under their grades, but some scientists, whose achievements are not as high as these great figures, but their personalities have reached the same level, or even surpass, which will make others very disgusted.
And Stanford University's School of Engineering has one such professor.
This is where Ding Huai is a little worried, this professor's name is Sam Claire, he is very strict with others, if the other party can't meet his own requirements, he will be furious, and he will scold him seriously, of course, this is not what he did on purpose, it is really caused by his character, because he is also strict with himself.
Professor Claire's knowledge is not to be said, and his engineering attainments are all first-class in the United States, but because he is too demanding, the colleagues he gets along with basically have no contact except for work, but he doesn't care at all, and still does his own thing.
This interview with Liu Lang, Professor Claire had already put down his words and wanted to ask this genius well, he always felt that this six-year-old genius was a little unworthy of his name.
Of course, whether Liu Lang can pass the interview depends on everyone's vote, as long as seven of the eleven professors voted in favor, and the other five did not appear three negative votes, then Liu Lang can be directly declared to pass, if there are seven votes in favor, but there are more than three votes against, then it will be reported to the school committee through the inspection team, and the president will hold a meeting to decide whether to pass.
Ding Huaizhong feels that as long as Liu Lang performs well, then there is no big problem with the seven votes in favor, while there is uncertainty in the three votes against, if Claire stumps Liu Lang, then the other members are likely to be affected, and the result is difficult to say.
"I hope this Professor Claire will be merciful!"
Ding Huaizhong secretly prayed on the side, but on the whole, Liu Lang still has a great hope of success, the premise depends on his professional level, as long as he can reach the level of outstanding students at Stanford University, there is no problem at all.
At eight o'clock in the morning, all the professors came to the conference room, and they sat on the prepared stools, eleven in two rows, the same number as the jury, and to the students who were taking the examination they felt like prisoners.
Liu Lang doesn't have this feeling, reliving a life makes his IQ burst, he is thirty years ahead of this era, everyone is a "short-sighted" person in front of him, and the huge advantage in his heart makes him have a "big heart", and his own knowledge knows that as long as it belongs to the scope of the undergraduate, there is no problem even beyond some, no matter how difficult the graduate exam is, the scope setting is fixed after all, and it is rare that it is just the insights and applications of those knowledge, which are not a problem for him.
At 8:30, the exam started on time, and the host spoke first.
"Colleagues, today is Liu Lang's graduate interview candidate, I believe you already know that this student is a little special, only six years old, but the founding philosophy of our school is to absorb all talents, as long as he reaches the same academic ability, we will welcome him, now I will read his written test results!"
The host is also in his fifties, with myopia glasses, and read out the transcript of Liu Lang's written test.
All four subjects are A+ grades, and he deliberately emphasized that the three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry are full marks, with a total time of one hour and twenty minutes, which is unique in the history of Stanford University, and it seems that the host also has a good impression of Liu Lang.
"Alright, let's start asking, in the order in advance, Professor Fils, you should come first!"
"Okay, Liu Lang, your age really makes me feel ashamed, the same, your grades are even more incredible, I am very glad that you like the science of construction machinery, if you become a student of our college, I hope to join my team!"
The Professor Fils had a prior invitation.
