What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

One day later.

Conference room, Hebei Provincial Normal University.

A group of elderly men dressed in sharp suits sat on either side of the oval conference table.

They all come from major universities or academies of sciences across the country.

Among them are many who are leaders in their respective disciplines.

Several Yangtze River Scholars were even among them.

Each of them, taken individually, could have founded a school of thought at any university.

Yesterday afternoon.

A phone call was made to their respective offices.

They were instructed to arrive at Shanhe Provincial Normal University as soon as possible to attend the seminar.

However, no specific details were provided.

Therefore, everyone is still a bit confused.

"I don't know why we were called here. Are we just going to waste time like this? I still have research projects to work on," an elderly man said with a hint of complaint.

"Well, the key point is that the caller was the Ministry of Education. I've been engaged in specialized research for many years and haven't been involved in education for several years. I don't even supervise graduate students anymore," another elderly man responded.

"What could the Ministry of Education possibly want from us?"

"The college entrance exam just ended recently, could it be something to do with the exam?"

"Really? Such a big deal for the college entrance exam?"

The bespectacled old man pointed ahead and whispered.

"Look, even Professor Huo from the Chinese Academy of Sciences has come."

These words were spoken.

A decisive victory.

The group of people who were muttering to themselves all looked at Old Man Huo, who was standing with his hands hanging down.

The answer that comes from the college entrance examination has been ruled out.

There is no other reason.

The college entrance examination is only an exam for selecting high school students.

Calling someone by their name is part of the college entrance examination.

But to the people present, it looked like a test for preschool children.

Let's not talk about others.

Even Professor Huo from the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was sitting in the meeting room.

It certainly wasn't to select preschool children.

Amidst the speculation and guessing, Lin Zheng entered the venue.

He was followed by the six heads of the marking team.

Although the group leaders hold important positions, they are all key figures in the teaching staff at their respective universities.

You may enter this venue.

The six team leaders felt like little Karamis.

But time is of the essence.

Lin Zheng had no time for pleasantries with the distinguished guests and went straight to the head of the table.

"I'm sorry for calling you all here in such a hurry."

"I'll make it short."

"One candidate from our province has been selected for this year's college entrance examination."

"The marking teams unanimously agreed that all six subjects—Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, and Chemistry—received full marks."

"Copies of the exam papers and comments from the marking team have been distributed to you."

"Please take a look first, and we'll discuss it later."

???

!!!

The words fell.

All the experts frowned.

It really is about the college entrance exam!

Although you all scoffed at this before.

But after hearing the words "perfect score in six subjects," all that remained in their minds were questions.

No!

Perfect score in all six subjects?

Is this still Chinese?

Although the experts have been away from grassroots education for a long time, they are all doing academic research.

But they still have a clear understanding of what the college entrance examination will entail.

For them, getting full marks in subjects like math, physics, and chemistry is a piece of cake.

But full marks in Chinese and English?

Are the standards set by the marking team a bit too low?

It was amidst these questions that...

A chemical application expert suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"This! How is this possible?"

Lin Zheng stared intently at the expert from the Academy of Sciences: "Professor Wang, what's wrong? Is the exam paper incorrect?"

"right!"

Professor Wang nodded quickly.

"That's absolutely right!"

"The problem lies in the alignment!"

Done.

Professor Wang stood up and walked to the multimedia control panel, projecting his exam paper onto the screen.

"Look here."

The question was intended to test knowledge of crystal fields.

"This is just basic knowledge; it shouldn't be a problem for high school students."

But his answer…

"He even answered the core principles of spectral properties and listed the experimental steps for low-spin electron configuration!"

"Even my graduate students don't know this!"

The exam paper tested basic chemistry.

But the answer Professor Wang saw was not basic chemistry.

This candidate not only gave the correct answer but also extended the discussion to the core knowledge.

Before Professor Wang could finish speaking...

Another expert from the biology group raised his hand and said, "I have the same situation here."

The exam question tested gene mutations in the telomere region.

"But this candidate went directly into the clinical field."

"His answer could serve as a reference for the Hayflick limit of human cell division!"

"Director Lin, is this really a high school student's exam paper?"

Lin Zheng nodded helplessly.

I'm not frying fish.

Lin Zhenghe, the head of the marking team, was only responsible for marking the papers and did not consider these answers from an academic perspective.

But these experts are different.

They don't care about the standard answers or the exam paper itself; they focus more on academics.

Although such college entrance examination papers offer limited inspiration for academic research.

However, this candidate clearly has his own unique insights into basic academic questions.

It's like practicing martial arts.

Others progress step by step, advancing from low-level techniques to supreme mental cultivation methods.

This candidate, however, has perfected the basic mental techniques.

Even a low-level technique is enough to contend with a supreme mental cultivation method.

"To integrate and apply knowledge"

Sudden.

The eldest man, Mr. Huo, who had been silent until now, put down the exam paper in his hand.

"Integration and application are the true meaning of education."

"My physics exam paper is the same as theirs."

The question tested high-energy nuclear reactions and magnetic deflection detection.

"The student's answer was not only correct, but also went into the depth of atomic nuclear structure."

"It's incredible, truly amazing."

Old Huo's comments killed the game.

He was not only the oldest person in the conference room.

Moreover, he is the person with the highest academic achievements, without exception.

Lin Zheng immediately went to Old Master Huo's side: "Old Master Huo, you don't know, we're almost driven crazy by these few exam papers."

"Why are you worried?" Huo Jianzhong looked up.

"Six perfect scores in six subjects, my dear Professor Huo! There has never been such a case in history."

Old Huo pursed his lips: "What about Chinese and English? Were there no problems with the subjective questions?"

"Now we're not sure either. At first, the examiners all thought there was no problem, but after they found out it was a perfect score in all subjects, the pressure has increased."

At the beginning.

All the English and Chinese teachers felt that it should have been given full marks.

But they didn't know that the two exam papers belonged to the same person.

later.

After this matter escalated to the level of a seminar, the examiners were completely at a loss.

I'm wondering if giving it full marks is too much, or if we should deduct some points.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Huo's face darkened: "What's there to feel pressured about?"

Lin Zheng: "After all, the grading of the college entrance examination should be done with caution."

"We should be grateful!"

Old Master Huo made the final decision.

"We've found a genius, someone who might even be more talented than my old mentor."

"My opinion is, full marks in all subjects!"

The words fell.

Applause suddenly erupted in the audience.

Professor Huo's evaluation of this candidate was already at its highest level.

He actually compared this eighteen-year-old candidate to his own mentor.

To know.

Professor Huo's mentor single-handedly reshaped the pioneering figure in China's engineering field.

In other words.

This candidate's talent is probably even greater than that of Professor Huo.

Thinking about this...

The old man's eyes even reddened slightly as he asked with emotion.

"Director Lin, what's the candidate's name?"

Lin Zheng: "His name is Qin Ze, a student at the Second Middle School in Lincheng City of this province."

"Alright! Let's discuss these papers again. Go quickly and find this student!"

Lin Zheng hesitated, "Mr. Huo, it's not time for the college entrance exam results to be released yet. Wouldn't it be against regulations to go now?"

Old Huo was so angry he laughed.

"Do you still think this exam paper is related to the college entrance exam?"

"I'll tell you!"

"On a smaller scale, this is a matter of cultivating strategic talent for the country."

"On a larger scale, this is a question of who will steer the future of science in our country."

"Don't bring up those ridiculous rules!"
