Annihilation of the solar system

Accompanied by the principal, Zhou Cheng and two colleagues strolled through the tree-lined high school campus. The afternoon sunlight filtered through the lush tree canopy, forming beams of light that cast mottled light onto the ground.

Zhou Cheng pointed to a small red brick building in front of him and said to his colleagues enthusiastically:

"This used to be our physics laboratory. It's been more than 20 years and it's still the same as it was back then."

The principal echoed with a smile on his face:

"The emergence of a top physicist like you in this small building has made it flourish!"

Zhou Cheng smiled lightly and turned his attention to the two colleagues beside him:

"Don't say that, I'm not the only one who has graduated from this century-old prestigious school. Our Professor Zhao of Astrophysics and Professor Li of Linguistics are both world-famous leaders in the industry."

The principal looked embarrassed and said haha:

"Yes, yes, in short, it is a great honor for our school to invite all world-renowned scholars to participate in tomorrow's centenary celebration."

The three professors looked at each other and smiled, and Zhou Cheng asked:

"How are our school's students doing in the past few years? Are there any good students?"

The principal's face was full of pride:

"Professor Zhou, our school has recently produced another student who can be called a genius. In last year's final exam, he got full marks in all subjects.

Zhou Cheng and the other two professors were shocked. They looked at each other and turned their attention to the principal:

"Full marks in all subjects?"

The principal nodded:

"Yeah, it's incredible."

From his studies to his studies, Zhou Cheng was known as a gifted boy and a genius. However, he never achieved full marks in any exam after junior high school.

The principal's words not only shocked him but also made him a little suspicious:

"Can I see this kid?"

Zhou Cheng's question made the principal look embarrassed, but Professor Zhao and Professor Li had expectant looks on their faces.

After thinking for a moment, the principal's face returned to a flattering smile:

"Of course, no problem. I'll make arrangements right away! There's a lecture theater in front. Let's take a break there. I'll ask the kid to come over and meet you."

While the three professors were chatting and laughing in the lecture theater, the teacher stood at the door of the classroom with a young man.

Zhou Cheng raised his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at the ordinary boy carefully.

Wearing a slightly old school uniform, he was clean and tidy. There was a shy look on his young face. The principal stepped forward and led the boy over:

"This is classmate Liu Chaowen."

Liu Chaowen looked at the three professors staring at him, feeling a little nervous, and said tremblingly:

"Hello teachers!"

Zhou Cheng stared at the ordinary young man in front of him, and his doubts became a little more:

"Classmate Chaowen, I heard from the principal that you got full marks in all subjects in your final exam?"

Liu Chaowen stood there upright, his face flushed a little because of nervousness:

"Yeah." He replied quietly.

"Are you interested in science and engineering?" Zhou Cheng continued to ask.

Liu Chaowen lowered his head, not daring to raise his head to look at Zhou Cheng's curious eyes. After hesitating for a while, he said tremblingly:

"Well...it's not really a hobby, I can do all the questions."

This soft-spoken answer caused some ripples in Zhou Cheng's heart. Although his tone was very humble, there was a hint of arrogance in the answer. He looked up and down in front of him.

This student with ordinary clothes and appearance:

"Oh, that's it. Can you solve an equation for me?"

When it comes to solving equations, Liu Chaowen's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his voice became much louder:

"Okay, teacher."

Zhou Cheng originally thought of a difficult undergraduate question, but he didn't expect that the child in front of him would be so confident. In Zhou Cheng's opinion, this kind of confidence seemed more like arrogance. He smiled slightly, wanting to let the little boy in front of him know how powerful he was:

"Do you know anything about Schrödinger's equation?"

As soon as these words came out, Professor Zhao, who majored in astrophysics, was stunned. This was a question that many graduate students could not solve. He and the female professor next to him looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. They all knew that this top student in the country

The physics professor wants to dampen this kid's spirit.

"Can I solve it on the blackboard?" Liu Chaowen's answer was full of confidence.

Zhou Cheng nodded lightly, crossed his arms in front of his chest, looked back at the old professor and female professor in the audience, and flashed a faint smile. The two professors looked at Zhou Cheng with a bit of reproach in their eyes.

Meaning. It seems to be asking Zhou Cheng why he should make it difficult for this child.

Liu Chaowen walked up to the podium, picked up the chalk, and wrote a string of obscure characters smoothly.

Zhou Cheng lowered his clasped hands, and the relaxed smile on his face gradually disappeared.

His expression gradually became stiff as the characters on the blackboard spread. Surprise and disbelief filled his red face.

Also surprised was the old professor with gray hair behind him, who said in a trembling voice:

"Professor Zhou...this child is too..."

Zhou Cheng ignored him and strode up to the podium. He picked up a piece of chalk and wrote a rough formula beside it:

"Try this again!"

Liu Chaowen still answered with the same clear and confident tone just now:

"Okay! Teacher!"

Liu Chaowen's mind was churning like boiling water in a test tube at the moment, and his thoughts were gushing out like a high-pressure faucet. At this time, his brain seemed not to be under his control at all, and he could only watch the chalk draw a string of exquisite characters on the blackboard.

.

After writing the last operator, the consciousness that was splashing around suddenly disappeared like a valve that was instantly closed. His body suddenly returned to his own control, and he felt a slight dizziness and difficulty breathing.

After several rounds of competition, Zhou Cheng looked like a frustrated boxer in the boxing ring. He looked at the operators written on the blackboard with blank eyes and said hesitantly:

"This... this... solution is completely correct! Some of the steps are even better than those of the graduate students I taught... Genius, absolutely genius, I can't find any other explanation."

He threw the chalk towards the chalk box on the podium. He walked off the podium, took a glass of water, took a sip, and said to the people around him:

"From beta decay under weak interaction, to the partial differential derivation of the mass-energy equation, to the su3 group theory calculation of quantum mechanics, and the analysis of the original Schrödinger equation, it can be done to this extent. I simply can't imagine it.

It can be completed by a high school sophomore."

Although she is past middle age, the female professor who is still elegant puts a trace of her messy hair behind her ears and says quietly:

"Professor Zhou, you may have forgotten something. When Chaowen was deriving and analyzing formulas just now, he discussed it with you in German!"

Liu Chaowen didn't dare to be too sure. These teachers' weird words of praise were all about him. Because even he himself didn't know what was written on the blackboard just now. He only dared to glance at the blackboard briefly, and then lowered his head.

Head away.

Zhou Cheng stood at the edge of the podium, breathing heavily. Looking at the blackboard at a loss, there was a depressing atmosphere in the lecture theater.

"With Liu Chaowen's level, I'm afraid there is no need to continue studying in high school."

The gentle voice of the female professor behind him pulled Zhou Cheng out of his confused thoughts.

Zhou Cheng frowned and looked at his two colleagues with raised eyebrows:

"Historically, Rutherford became the director of the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University at the age of 24, Einstein proposed the theory of relativity at the age of 26, and Bohr became a professor at the University of Manchester at the age of 28.

This is the power of genius. I think we should consider making an exception to allow Chaowen to go to university for further study. But there is no need to pass the exam..."

The principal immediately understood what Zhou Cheng meant:

"We have a spare paper from last year's college entrance examination here. Should we ask Liu Chaowen to do it and see his results?"

All three professors agreed.

Soon a teacher came in with a sealed bag. The principal took the bag and looked at Liu Chaowen with a smile on his face:

"Chaowen, I have an unpublished college entrance examination backup paper in my hand. No one knows the content of this set of papers. Now I want to ask you to go to the next door office to do this set of papers alone. What do you think?"

Like a student who was selected to answer a question in class, Liu Chaowen immediately stood up and answered neatly:

"Okay, teacher!"

As soon as Liu Chaowen walked out of the classroom, Zhou Cheng approached the principal and lowered his tone:

"What is this child's family situation like? Which university did his parents graduate from? Where do they study physics after class?"

A look of embarrassment flashed across the principal's face, and he paused for a moment:

"As far as I know, the child Chaowen's family is in a difficult situation and he should not have the conditions to attend a cram school. His father is a skilled worker in CNC machine tools, and his mother ran away when he was very young. And I heard his father say that when he was a child,

I also got seriously ill."

The three professors looked at each other in confusion. Zhou Cheng suddenly stood up and looked at the others with wide eyes:

"I've seen geniuses, but I can't explain such geniuses. Geniuses like Pauli, Dirac, and Yang Chenning all come from scholarly families. They have developed a strong interest in their future careers since they were young. After systematic study,

It is with my own efforts that I can show the world my genius side.”

Zhou Cheng paused for a moment, his eyes full of doubts:

"But Chaowen, I don't know how to put it. From an academic perspective, there is almost no doubt about his ability, but from a process perspective, I don't understand."

The female professor of language major behind her also said:

"This doesn't make sense. Without a lot of reading and conversations, it's impossible for him to master foreign languages ​​​​so proficiently! Especially when discussing astrophysics with Professor Zhou, he even used a German proverb and a short story. Such a level of German.

....."

Everyone was talking about this talented boy for an unknown amount of time. A teacher hurried in from the classroom door with a pile of test papers. Liu Chaowen just followed him with his head lowered.
