Chapter 232 Getting Closer

"No, I can't go back too late today. My leading teacher is still waiting for me in the hotel."

After receiving this polite rejection that was not beyond her expectations, Patricia quickly tore off a page from her notebook, quickly wrote two strings of numbers and letters on it, and then stuffed it into Wu Bin's hand.

"Here is my phone number and email address. If you haven't come back after the game, call me and I can take you around Philadelphia."

"Okay, thank you." Wu Bin nodded after accepting the note.

"Then...goodbye." Patricia waved towards Wu Bin.

"See you."

After saying goodbye to each other, Patricia turned and left, but before taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and shouted to Wu Bin: "Hey, Wu Bin."

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

"I would be happy if your voice could ring on the phone talking about string theory."

Wu Bin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but before he could reply, Patricia had already left with brisk steps.

"She is really a girl with a strong thirst for knowledge..." Wu Bin looked at the note in his hand and thought that if he still had time after the game, he would send her an email about extra dimensions.

…

Early the next morning, Wu Bin and his team of three came to the auditorium of the University of Pennsylvania.

In fact, in the past, the final results of the college physics competition could be checked on the official website, but since it has become an invitational competition this year, there is naturally some suspense, so 86 of the most elite teams in the world gathered here, waiting for the organizer of the competition. Announce the results.

"Hey Wu, did you have a good rest yesterday?"

Wu Bin was standing there thinking about the magnetism of two-dimensional materials when he heard Aiden's voice greeting him.

"Very good." Wu Bin smiled and raised his hand and waved to him.

"Oh, it's really boring to attend such a no-suspense award ceremony. Why don't you go have a drink after it's over? But this time it's not coffee. I'll take you to a very exciting bar. I'll make sure you have a good time."

"No, I have just formulated a new research topic, and I have to go back and sort out the materials after the awards are over."

Aiden slapped his forehead after hearing this: "Wu, do you know that this puts a lot of pressure on mortals like us..."

"You're already a mortal, and you haven't worked as hard as a genius, so how do you plan to keep up with the gap?"

At this time, an old man with gray hair and glasses suddenly walked up to Aiden.

As soon as Aiden saw the old man, he immediately bowed slightly and said: "Hello, Professor Winifred."

The old man known as Professor Winifred nodded, then looked at Wu Bin and said, "How have you been at Penn these past two days?"

Although Wu Bin didn't know who the old man in front of him was, he still replied politely: "I like the atmosphere of this university very much."

"Hahaha, as long as you like it." Professor Winifred nodded with satisfaction and walked forward.

"Is he...?" Wu Bin asked Aiden in a low voice after he walked away.

Aiden: "Professor Winifred, an academician of NASA's Academy of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and an expert in Mars atmosphere research."

"Oh~ turns out to be a big boss from NASA." Wu Bin nodded.

NASA is the abbreviation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It can be said to be the organization that knows the most about the stars and the sea in the world.

As Professor Winifred stepped onto the podium, today's award ceremony officially began.

However, half an hour later, Wu Bin, who felt a little bored, began to continue thinking about the previous problem.

He originally thought that this year's first invitational tournament would have some tricks, but in essence it was no different from the IPhO event. It was nothing more than performances and awards. In the end, everyone probably had a meal together and then went home happily.

So when the ranking of Wu Bin and his team was finally announced, Wu Bin only reacted after Zheng Wenhan reminded him.

"Gold medal! First!" Zheng Wenhan clenched his fists and roared twice at Wu Bin.

Although because of Wu Bin's presence, he was more confident about winning the first place, but now that he actually heard that he had won the gold medal, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic. This was a gold medal in an international competition! The gold content is self-evident.

The three of them walked onto the podium and shook hands with several big-shot figures, including Professor Winifred. In addition to three golden gold medals, they also received a large bonus.

$4,000.

This is quite generous. After all, for competitions such as academic competitions, which have no ratings or advertisers, most competitions have no such thing as prize money.

"Your paper is very well written and the modeling is excellent. It can be said that it far exceeds my expectations."

Professor Winifred shook hands with Wu Bin with great enthusiasm, and Wu Bin immediately said humbly: "Professor, thank you."

In the evening, just as Wu Bin expected, the organizer prepared a dinner for everyone to eat and drink.

However, at this dinner, Wu Bin's table was more lively, with contestants from all over the world joining in.

After all, they all know that the player who can win the first place in this kind of top physics competition will most likely become a big boss in the future. Although this will not allow them to flatter him, it is definitely beneficial to get to know each other and get close to him. .

Maybe a letter of recommendation from someone will directly promote you?

The methods used by this group of people to get close to each other are also various. For example, a German guy named Leonard suddenly said after greeting Wu Bin: "I admire your country's Marshal Zhu De very much, and I have even been to his former residence. "

Wu Bin and the other three were stunned for a while after hearing this, and then asked back: "Have you been to China?"

"Oh, no." Leonard waved his hand, "Marshal Zhu De once studied at the University of Göttingen and lived next to the Göttingen Opera House. Now that house has been designated as his former residence."

'There is such a thing...'

However, the guys from other countries who are not so good at "dry stuff" boasted about China's economic development model and powerful electric transportation, and they looked like they were like China.

"We're not, we don't have it, don't brag..."

Although Zheng Wenhan felt a little distracted when he was surrounded by foreigners for the first time, he still upheld the traditional Chinese virtue of modesty verbally. Anyway, if you blow me away, I will try my best to blow you back.

Blow through three rounds.

Just when another Jamaican guy was about to come up and “brag”, Professor Winifred suddenly walked up to Wu Bin and the others with a wine glass in hand.

"Hello, professor." Wu Bin and the other three immediately stood up and said hello.

"Relax, relax, it's party time, no distinction is made between superiority and inferiority." After saying that, Professor Winifred bent down and whispered in Wu Bin's ear: "Are you free to come out and chat?"
