Chapter 872: Gu Mang, are You Challenging the Authorities?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just then, a bell rang in the hall, signalling that time was up.
The system submitted the answers of all the teams automatically. The audience snapped back to reality and watched the group of students come down from the stage. The host reminded everyone that there would be a thirty-minute break. Afterwards, the second match would begin.
…
At the same time.
All the judges went backstage and immediately retrieved the answer sheet from Capital University’s team.
Gu Mang had written nine medical formulas in total.
Chief Editor Fei Luo stared at the computer screen and suppressed his emotions. He asked the other judges, “What do all of you think?”
Since Gu Mang could come up with the mind maps, he did not think that she would come up with the formulas randomly.
There were nine formulas!
It took a lot of verification and data to support a formula but Gu Mang made up nine!
Kang Qi said, “Everyone understands how difficult the process of determining a formula is. Whether the formula can be established or not is a separate discussion. Gu Mang has used her own formula to answer the questions in an international compet.i.tion. If the judges do not understand them, they can give her zero points.”
Everyone else looked at each other.
“Formulas cannot be acknowledged in a day. It requires a lot of time, labor, and resources. We need to score all the teams in the first match during the thirty-minute break. We cannot waste all of our time on Gu Mang’s formula.”
“I agree. Indeed, compet.i.tions are a place for people to show off their skills, but they should know their limits. If even the judges are unable to give her a score based on this answer sheet, they have clearly failed.”
“I disagree. Everyone saw Gu Mang’s mind map. I don’t think the formula that she wrote is just child’s play.”
“Yeah, we can’t give the student a zero just because we don’t understand it. We have to try to understand what Gu Mang has written.”
Kang Qi looked at all of them. “You really think a freshman medical student can write formulas for the various vital signs when she hasn’t even stepped into the clinic?”
“Well…”
All of them added onto each other’s words.
Finally, one of the judges looked at Fei Luo. “Chief Editor Fei Luo, what do you think?”
Fei Luo looked down and pondered. After a while, he looked at everyone on the judges’ team. “Tell Gu Mang to come over.”
…
On the other side.
Gu Mang had returned to her seat.
Yang Tianming turned sideways to face Gu Mang. He couldn’t wait to ask. “Gu Mang, what’s with all those formulas?”
“I came up with them on my own,” she answered casually.
Yang Tianming was speechless.
He had never heard anyone come up with their own formula…
Shen Qianzi looked at Gu Mang through her peripheral vision and she clenched her fists silently.
Gu Mang looked at Yang Tianming’s expression of excitement and restraint, thought for a while, and added, “Don’t worry, I won’t do things that I am uncertain of.”
This was not what Yang Tianming was worried about. He was worried if the judges team would acknowledge the formula written by Gu Mang.
…
On M University’s side.
The professor looked at Gu Mang for a long while before regaining his senses. He immediately took out a paper and pen from his doc.u.ment bag and his slightly trembling hand revealed his excitement.
A student next to him asked, “Professor, you…”
The professor did not speak. He pulled out some previous experimental data from his phone and put it into Gu Mang’s formula. Then, he began to calculate.
After putting in three sets of data, the result that he got from the formula was exactly the same as the results of the experiments!
Ming Ni looked at the formula on the draft paper. “Professor, what is this?”
A student beside them answered, “The formula that Gu Mang wrote in her answer just now.”
“Does such a formula even exist?” Ming Ni frowned and asked. She had read many medical books and had also been exposed to many cases, but she had never seen such a formula before.
When she was just about to continue asking, she saw Chief Editor Fei Luo’s a.s.sistant approach Capital University’s team.
The a.s.sistant said something and Gu Mang got up. Then, she followed the a.s.sistant backstage.
Bai Sui and Bai Qingqing exchanged a short greeting with the a.s.sistant. Then, they followed Gu Mang.
Huo Zhi, along with the bald man, kept a low profile and entered the backstage from the side door.
…
The a.s.sistant pushed the door to the judges’ room open. “Chief Editor, Ms. Gu is here.”
Everyone looked over at her.
Gu Mang removed her baseball cap and hooked it around her finger. Her expression was calm.
Fei Luo’s hands were behind his back. “Gu Mang, did you come up with the formula on the answer sheet on your own?”
“Yeah,” she said.
Kang Qi’s eyes became darker but his tone made him sound fair and just. “You used a formula that you came up with in an international compet.i.tion. Do you think that those formulas, that we don’t even know if they are valid, are more accurate than the content in all of the authoritative textbooks?”
“Every formula has undergone rigorous scientific testing. Are you challenging the authorities by coming up with those random formulas?”
“Gu Mang, the compet.i.tion is not child’s play. Your formulas are not even backed up by scientific data. We cannot even prove its logic.”
“You can just give counterevidence,” Gu Mang said calmly.
When Kang Qi heard what she said, he laughed. “We don’t even know how you derived these formulas. No counterevidence is needed.”
“Yes. Before a medical formula can appear in textbooks, it must be supported with experimental data. Many medical scientists have to spend many hours performing experiments. How can a formula be acknowledged so casually?”
“This is the study of Medicine, the fault tolerance rate is zero!”
At that moment, Bai Sui said, “Don’t you want data to support it? Why don’t you just make a simple algorithm and put it in the database, and then use the formula to derive an outcome?”
Gu Mang paused and she glanced at Bai Sui.
“If the results from all the data do not deviate from the results in your database,” Bai Sui looked at everyone across the room. “Then these formulas should be able to be acknowledged by the International Joint Medical a.s.sociation.”
He was speaking so arrogantly!
If the formulas were acknowledged, then the formulas would be added into authoritative textbooks in the future.
By a freshman?
All of them had spent so many years in the medical field and had never managed to derive a new formula, yet a student managed to do so. The judges seemed unhappy.
“Sure.” Kang Qi nodded and laughed. “The database is provided by our medical organization. With Ms. Gu’s current status, it should be possible to mobilize the Security Bureau’s technical staff to come over and make a program, right?”
Maybe the formula that Gu Mang had come up with only worked with the pathetic little amount of data that she had.
They were not explanatory.
The truth would be revealed using the medical organization’s database and all the errors would be exposed.
