In the reception room, the sound of Zhou Chenglong tapping on the keyboard did not affect Li Zheng.
The physics exam paper was clearly more oriented towards practical applications than the competition.
By practical applications, it meant avoiding topics like stellar reactions and quantum mechanics and focusing on theoretical mechanics, material mechanics, and polymer physics, which could be directly applied to production.
This was undoubtedly also where the difference between researchers and engineers lay, with the former paving the way into unknown territories, while the latter devoted all their efforts to tangible production tasks.
Therefore, this paper was more about examining the proficiency and depth of knowledge mastery rather than imagination and thinking methods.
Take the mechanics problems for example—their surface was basically a complex version of pushing carts, pulleys, and various odd frames.
