The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 137 One and a half years, bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees!

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Thank you, Principal. I will obey the organization's arrangements!"

Liu Xianchao nodded and said, "The Ministry of Education will also send personnel to supervise your special assessment on site this time."

"With your current scientific research achievements and honors, you are already qualified to be a member of the academic department."

"Because you are still a student and have little experience, you were not considered in the last election of faculty members."

"Well! We have solved all your academic problems, which can be considered as clearing away an obstacle."

I have to say that Liu Xianchao is very thoughtful.

Wang Haoran naturally thanked him repeatedly.

Soon the day for Wang Haoran’s special assessment arrived.

At 7:48 in the morning, Wang Haoran walked into an academic lecture hall of Beijing Institute of Technology.

This hall is not big and can accommodate more than a hundred people.

Wang Haoran took a look and was surprised to see that the academic lecture hall was full of people?

It seems that the Ministry of Education attaches great importance to this special assessment.

Wang Haoran took a quick look and saw many familiar faces.

More than twenty university presidents from Beijing came.

There are also many experts in scientific fields.

Most importantly, the head of the Ministry of Education, Wang Zhenyun, came in person.

This level of importance has reached its maximum.

Wang Haoran had already received the notice from Liu Xianchao the day before.

Liu Xianchao told him that this special examination would not be conducted on paper, but would be asked questions by on-site experts.

This is more difficult than the paper test.

Wang Haoran entered the academic lecture hall, and Wang Zhenyun, the head of the Ministry of Education, led the applause.

For a moment, there was thunderous applause in the hall.

Wang Haoran walked to the podium in front of the academic lecture hall.

He smiled, nodded and waved.

He felt that he was not like a person who was being examined, but rather like a scholar giving a report at an important occasion.

The applause took a long time to die down.

Wang Zhenyun, who was sitting in the middle of the front row, said to the microphone in front of him: "Comrades, today, we are here to give Comrade Wang Haoran a special assessment of his academic level. If he meets the assessment standards, we will specially allow him to graduate from university!"

"If his knowledge is particularly profound, and combined with his significant scientific contributions to the country, then we may directly award him a doctorate degree!"

"As everyone knows, our country's doctoral training began last year. The first batch of doctors will graduate in 1981!"

"Then, today, we may be able to award the first doctoral degree since the reform and opening up!"

"Each of us will witness history!"

"According to the procedure, famous professors from various disciplines asked questions on the spot, and then Comrade Wang Haoran answered them on the spot."

"During my entire college years at Beijing Institute of Technology, I took a total of 37 courses in the major of electronic engineering, but there were only 10 major professional courses and basic courses in total. The full score for each course was 10 points, and the total score was 100 points!"

"After Comrade Haoran finishes answering, we will grade the papers on the spot and give the scores."

"Comrade Haoran will be allowed to graduate with a bachelor's degree if he can get 60 points. If he can get 80 points, he can be directly awarded a master's degree at the same time; if he can get more than 95 points, we will issue him a doctoral degree on the spot!"

"Comrade Haoran, you should also be mentally prepared. The questions given by the teachers may be difficult..."

"I won't say much more. Now, I declare that the assessment begins!"

After Wang Zhenyun finished speaking, everyone applauded.

Then, the assessment officially began.

The first person to give Wang Haoran a question was Xiao Qingping, a professor of applied mathematics at Tsinghua University.

Xiao Qingping had never dealt with Wang Haoran before.

But he had read too many news reports about Wang Haoran.

According to the previous arrangement, Xiao Qingping should give questions on partial differentials.

Because Wang Haoran had previously demonstrated his extraordinary talent in partial differential mathematics when giving lectures at Tsinghua University, and he even solved a world-class partial differential equation problem.

Xiao Qingping thought: Since we are testing a genius, of course we have to give extremely difficult questions.

If you ask questions about partial differentials, isn't that giving away points?

I'll just ask questions from different fields.

Xiao Qingping gave a problem about calculating the trajectory of a missile, gave the initial conditions, and then asked Wang Haoran to calculate the flight trajectory of the missile.

Xiao Qingping wrote his question on the blackboard.

This question is quite complicated and involves many knowledge points and subjects.

After Xiao Qingping finished writing this question, Wang Zhenyun, the person in charge of the Ministry of Education, frowned.

Although Wang Zhenyun didn't understand the question.

However, he knew that Xiao Qingping was going against the previous arrangement and gave a new question.

Moreover, he couldn't understand this question, which was a complicated ballistic calculation question.

It would be quite difficult to solve this problem, right?

There was a commotion in the academic lecture hall.

All the professors who knew mathematics understood: Xiao Qingping was trying to make things difficult for Wang Haoran.

If you have no exposure to ballistics, you may not be able to solve this problem even if you are good at math.

Wang Zhenyun cleared his throat and finally decided to say, "Isn't this question a bit beyond the syllabus?"

"Comrade Haoran should not be exposed to this category."

Xiao Qingping smiled and said, "I think it's mainly because Wang Haoran is a world-renowned super genius who has dabbled in many scientific and technological fields. I think a simple intercontinental ballistic missile trajectory calculation question like this shouldn't be too difficult for him. If the leader thinks it's beyond the scope, then I'll give him a simple function question."

Wang Haoran had already finished reading the question. He smiled and said, "This question is indeed a bit difficult."

“But I think it should still be possible.”

After saying that, he came to the blackboard.

He picked up the chalk from the edge of the blackboard and began to solve the problem.

The academic lecture hall suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's attention was focused on Wang Haoran's steps in solving the problem.

Wang Haoran wrote quickly on the blackboard with chalk.

It took about a hundred steps to finally solve this extremely complicated ballistic calculation problem.

After solving the problem, Wang Haoran glanced at Xiao Qingping and said, "Teacher Xiao, you may not have noticed that there is a symbol error in your question."

"If I don't correct this error, my calculations will be wrong."

As Wang Haoran spoke, he marked a mathematical symbol in the question written by Xiao Qingping with a thick line of chalk.

When Xiao Qingping took a look, he found that it was true. He had made a mistake in a very important symbol in the question.

Of course, it was just a typo.

However, this typo was quite fatal.

It can be said that mathematics is a very rigorous science.

It is unacceptable to be negligent.

If you can even write symbols incorrectly, you will often be laughed at for having a weak foundation.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"I did write that symbol wrong."

Xiao Qingping apologized immediately.

At this time, the professors in the academic lecture hall were all looking at Wang Haoran's answers to the problems.

Many of them had already seen Xiao Qingping's mistake, but did not point it out.

It can be said that most of the people who came here today are top scientists.

They all have high attainments in mathematics.

As soon as they saw Wang Haoran’s problem-solving steps and answers, they knew: Wang Haoran had gotten the question right!

This young man is amazing.

He could easily solve such a complicated ballistic calculation problem.

This shows how good he is at mathematics.

Wang Haoran smiled and said to Xiao Qingping: "Please guide me, teacher, to see if my answer to the question is correct?"

Xiao Qingping had already finished reading it.

He nodded and said, "Comrade Haoran, your explanation is very clever and the answer is completely correct! I give you a full score of 10!"

As soon as he finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the academic lecture hall.

Wang Haoran waited until the applause died down, then he nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Dear teachers, you can be bolder when setting questions, and don't let them go."

“Please try to make it a little more difficult.”

"I don't want our special assessment today to be treated as a formality."

When Wang Zhenyun heard Wang Haoran say this, he shook his head.

Wang Zhenyun thought to himself, this young man is really a bit too young and hot-tempered.

He actually took the initiative to ask for an increase in difficulty...

Doesn't he know that there is no end to learning? Even a profession has its specializations.

Which professor doesn’t have a lot of difficult problems at hand?

At present, there are still a lot of unresolved problems in various disciplines in the world!

Wang Haoran's words caused another commotion in the academic lecture hall.

The scientists who came here today are all top in their respective disciplines.

Since Wang Haoran has said that he wants everyone to give him more difficult questions, everyone naturally feels that if the questions are too easy, it will be embarrassing for him.

The second person who gave Wang Haoran the question was Li Qinghe, a physicist from Tsinghua University.

He is also one of Wang Haoran's partners.

With the help of Wang Haoran, he developed the laser light source system for the lithography machine.

Li Qinghe also won the first prize of this year's Science and Technology Progress Award for this achievement.

Li Qinghe stood up and said with a smile: "Since Comrade Haoran asked us to come up with a somewhat difficult question, I won't be polite."

"I'm currently working on a problem with the equations of quantum mechanics."

"I am also a beginner, so I will write down the difficulties I encountered in the learning process and ask Comrade Haoran to guide me."

Li Qinghe spoke very politely.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Teacher Li, you are too modest. Quantum mechanics is a well-known subject in physics. I have also read some monographs on it. I will have to learn more from you in the future."

Li Qinghe waved his hand and said, "I'm really not being polite to you! You know, I'm doing optical research, and quantum mechanics is not my major. This time I really want you to give me some advice on this problem."

As Li Qinghe was speaking, he walked to the front of the podium and the blackboard and started writing.

This is a question about function potential field.

After Li Qinghe finished writing the question, he said to Wang Haoran: "Comrade Haoran, I won't hide it from you. I have already seen the answer to this question."

"After reading it, I still feel a little confused and can't understand it."

"It would be even better if you could explain it to me a little more when you answer it." Wang Haoran smiled and nodded, saying, "I happened to have seen some questions of this kind before."

"Let me give it a try."

"If I can't answer it, please don't laugh at me, Mr. Li."

Li Qinghe waved his hand and said, "Comrade Haoran, I really don't understand, so I humbly ask for your advice. Let's learn from each other!"

"I have no right to laugh at you."

Wang Haoran had already finished reading the question and he had successfully found a solution to the problem.

He pondered for a moment, then picked up the chalk and began to answer.

He explained as he solved the problem.

His explanation is quite simple and easy to understand.

Now, this special assessment of Wang Haoran seemed to have really turned into Wang Haoran’s own special report meeting or lecture.

In the academic lecture hall, everyone pricked up their ears and opened their eyes wide to listen attentively.

Wang Haoran first explained his ideas for solving the problem.

After he finished talking, he started to do the questions.

This question filled up the entire blackboard.

Finally, the question was solved.

Quite a few people at the scene understood it.

When Wang Haoran finished solving the problem, warm applause broke out again in the academic lecture hall.

Li Qinghe was deeply shocked.

He pondered over this question for a long time but couldn't figure it out in the end. Finally, after looking at the answer, he understood it a little bit.

But after listening to Wang Haoran’s explanation today, he completely understood it.

It's the kind of sudden enlightenment.

It was as if his understanding of quantum mechanics as a whole had been elevated.

"Comrade Haoran, thank you!"

"After listening to you today, I feel like I have learned a lot."

Li Qinghe said sincerely.

Wang Zhenyun smiled and said, "Teacher Li, tell me first, did Comrade Haoran answer this question correctly?"

Li Qinghe quickly smiled and said, "Of course it's correct."

"Completely correct!"

“There are probably not many people in China who can learn quantum mechanics so thoroughly.”

"Comrade Haoran deserves full marks for this answer."

Warm applause rang out again in the academic lecture hall.

In the following examination, all the teachers who set the questions showed their unique skills and did their best to come up with the most difficult questions they had encountered in the research process.

They were no longer setting questions with the purpose of testing Wang Haoran.

Instead, he hopes to consult Wang Haoran and ask him to help solve the problems he encountered in his research.

And Wang Haoran did not disappoint them.

All the questions they brought up were solved by Wang Haoran on the spot.

Questions were given for all 10 subjects.

Wang Haoran got all the test scores.

Of course, most of the professors who gave him questions also felt that they benefited a lot.

They originally came here to test Wang Haoran, but unexpectedly, they also solved their own problems by the way.

The entire assessment lasted about 3 hours.

Wang Zhenyun concluded: "All assessments of Comrade Wang Haoran have been completed."

"I believe everyone present here has seen that Wang Haoran's performance was outstanding!"

"His current level of knowledge is far beyond that of an undergraduate graduate."

"I have already explained the rules before the assessment. If Wang Haoran's final assessment score exceeds 95 points, he will be directly awarded a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree certificate!"

"Do you have any questions, comrades?"

After Wang Zhenyun finished speaking, the scene was quiet for a while.

Afterwards, no one knew who took the lead, but warm applause broke out again.

"Comrade Haoran's current level of knowledge is so high that I think even the top professors can't compare to him, let alone a doctorate!"

Someone sitting in the back row shouted.

Wang Zhenyun was also in a very good mood. He waited until the applause died down and said with a smile, "It seems that everyone has no objection!"

"Well, let's vote now."

"Raise your hands if you agree that Wang Haoran should pass the undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degree assessments all at once and be allowed to graduate!"

As soon as Wang Zhenyun finished speaking, everyone at the scene raised their hands high.

Wang Zhenyun took a special look and found that there were 137 people in total and 136 of them raised their hands.

The only one who didn't raise his hand was Wang Haoran himself.

Of course, Wang Haoran himself was too embarrassed to raise his hand to support himself.

Wang Zhenyun smiled and said, "Everyone raise your hands to approve it!"

"I declare now!"

"After one and a half years of study, Comrade Wang Haoran's academic level has surpassed the doctoral level of the Department of Electronic Engineering. He is now approved to be awarded a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree!"

Liu Xianchao was very happy.

He didn't expect the assessment to go so smoothly.

The teachers who set the questions had clearly already brought out the most difficult questions, but, none of them stumped Wang Haoran at all!
The problems that Wang Haoran solved were almost impossible for many scientists in the field to solve, and they were all solved by Wang Haoran on the spot.

This is really refreshing.

Just three days after the special assessment was over, Beijing Institute of Technology awarded all three diplomas, bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees, to Wang Haoran.

When issuing these three certificates, Beijing Institute of Technology also held a special ceremony.

Several major media outlets in Beijing sent reporters to interview the event.

That evening, the national television station’s 7 o’clock news reported a breaking news about Wang Haoran: my country’s young scientific research leader Wang Haoran completed all undergraduate, master’s and doctoral courses in just one and a half years!
The doctoral degree certificate Wang Haoran received was also the first doctoral degree certificate after the reform and opening up!

This is also a very memorable event.

That night, Wang Haoran returned home with three graduation certificates. Xiao Lijuan and his parents-in-law were there.

Xiao Renming opened the door for Wang Haoran personally.

He smiled and said to Wang Haoran: "Haoran! You have made history again!"

"Since my country implemented the modern university system, no one has ever been able to complete a bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree in just one and a half years."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad. I don't have to worry about my education anymore. It feels good."

Xiao Renming said: "What is your plan next?"

"Our President Yang asked me to come here to persuade you to join Peking University and take up a teaching position."

Wang Haoran shook his head and said, "Dad, I have been hired as an associate researcher by Beijing Institute of Technology, and I am expected to take up a teaching position in the Department of Electronic Computer Science."

Xiao Renming laughed: "Haha! I knew it would be like this."

"It doesn't matter. No matter where you are, you are contributing to the country!"

Xiao Lijuan took the three graduation certificates from Wang Haoran and looked at them carefully one by one.

She said proudly, "That's great! I finished all the books I needed to read and got all the certificates I needed to get so quickly."

"My Haoran is very capable."

Then she sighed with a little regret: "Oh! When can I graduate?"

"My dad told me to get a PhD no matter what, otherwise I would have no future."

Wang Haoran touched her head and said with a smile: "Studying is the easiest thing. Don't worry, study hard. When you get your doctorate, you can be my assistant. I promise that you will achieve a lot and it won't be too taxing."

Xiao Lijuan laughed: "That's great. As long as I'm with you every day, I'll be happy no matter what."

Her eyes were filled with Wang Haoran's figure, as if the whole world no longer existed.

……

Time passed quickly and soon it was the end of June 1979.

This is the hottest time of the year.

On this morning, the Pangu operating system presided over by Wang Haoran was finally completed.

This operating system has a purely Chinese interface and uses a fully graphical interface.

The interface is still colorful, with a light blue background.

There is also the Pangu operating system logo on the blue interface, which shows an abstract axe splitting the sky and the earth in half.

The Pangu operating system has a total of more than 500 million lines of code, which took dozens of top programmers nearly two months to develop. Of course, in addition to programmers, linguists and artists were also involved.

This operating system interface has configurations such as the start menu, taskbar, and system firewall.

After the system was completed and put together, Wang Haoran coordinated it again.

The entire operating system requires approximately 270M of disk capacity.

If it is based on the original computer hardware, it is impossible to run it.

Fortunately, the domestic computer hard drive built under the leadership of Wang Haoran has a 1G capacity. After installing the Pangu operating system, it occupies less than a quarter of the hard drive capacity, so it is still easy to install other application software.

The Pangu operating system was first successfully installed on a computer.

Then we started doing various tests.

It is mainly used to test the stability of the system and whether there are any vulnerabilities.

After comprehensive operation monitoring, Pangu operating system runs very stably, the system responds quickly, and the performance in all aspects is excellent.

With computers and operating systems, domestic computers are basically ready.

All the team members were delighted.

Everyone knew that they had created a new history!

There has never been a graphical operating system in this world before!
There has never been a microcomputer with such a powerful hardware foundation!

For today's microcomputers, the largest memory is basically 512K, and the hard disk is generally only a few M.

This means that China is already ahead of the world in the field of computers!
After experiencing the computer running Pangu operating system, He Yiming said excitedly: "Oh my God! I never expected that we really created a miracle!"

"If we publicize this achievement, it will definitely make a world-wide sensation!"

Ni Guangnan was also very happy, but he thought this achievement was not suitable for publicity.

"Teacher He, I think we can't publicize this achievement for the time being."

"We must keep a low profile."

He Yiming was surprised: "Why?"

"Such a significant achievement, why can't it be publicized? Publicizing it is also to promote the country's prestige, right?!"
