Chapter 261 This Is Also Considered Astronomy
"I heard from Sister Minmin that you are the one with the best grades in her high school, right?"
Not long after they started eating, Gu Jiaqi, who took a sip of chicken soup, suddenly looked at Wu Bin and asked.
After hearing this, Wu Bin held the chopsticks for frying garlic sprouts for a moment, then nodded and said: "Well, she didn't lie to you."
"Wow! That's amazing." Gu Jiaqi looked admiring.
"More than that." Lu Miaomei also took up the topic at this time, "He was the top scorer in the Shanghai College Entrance Examination that year."
"Hey!!" Gu Jiaqi let out a cry of surprise and looked at Pei Jiamin: "Sister, why didn't you tell me this?"
"You didn't ask." Pei Jiamin rolled her eyes.
"Wow! Then you are not a super academic! Just wait for me." After Gu Jiaqi said that, she suddenly jumped off the table and ran back to Pei Jiamin's room.
Looking at her happy cousin, Pei Jiamin couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead and said, "Wu Bin, let me tell you first. My cousin likes to make up her own imagination, so don't believe anything she says."
"Okay, I understand." Wu Bin nodded and continued eating.
After a while, Gu Jiaqi ran up to Wu Bin with a pen and a math book, handed the book and pen to Wu Bin and said, "Please sign your name for me, the top student."
"sign……?"
Wu Bin has seen everyone asking questions, asking for notes, and asking for study methods.
'This is the first time I have asked for an autograph...'
"Yes, sign, let me use my power as a top student, please, please." Gu Jiaqi said seriously with her hands clasped together.
"Okay..." Wu Bin smiled and took the book and pen, "Sign on the title page?"
"No! Please sign on the cover." Gu Jiaqi pointed to the center of the book, "That's it."
"Okay." Wu Bin nodded, signed his name on the book and handed it back to Gu Jiaqi.
"Thank you, boss!" Gu Jiaqi happily took the book and looked at the words Wu Bin on it and said, "A top student is a top student. The words are so beautiful."
Wu Bin: "Thank you for the compliment."
After signing, Gu Jiaqi seemed to have a closer relationship with Wu Bin, and the conversation started immediately.
"Did you really start to accumulate knowledge in your senior year of high school?"
"Is that physics competition difficult? If I want to participate now, is it still too late?"
"Ah? You didn't go to Jingbei!?"
"Oh... what kind of university is HKUST?"
…
Until the end, Lu Miaomei coughed lightly and said, "Jia Qi, when it's time to eat, just eat well first, and you can ask after you've finished."
"Oh..." Gu Jiaqi stuck out her tongue after hearing this and buried her head in eating.
"Sorry, this kid is a little too excited." Lu Miaomei looked at Wu Bin and said.
Wu Bin waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'm happy to answer any academic questions."
"The top student is so friendly to the people!" Gu Jiaqi gave Wu Bin a thumbs up.
Gu Jiaqi was very obedient after that and didn't ask any more questions during the meal, but as soon as Wu Bin finished eating, she pestered him again.
"It's time for you to write the paper!" Pei Jiamin pulled Gu Jiaqi and said.
"Wait a moment, I'll go after I ask this question." Gu Jiaqi stayed on the sofa with no intention of leaving.
Sighing, Pei Jiamin had no choice but to sit aside.
"Hey, sister, you are the most open-minded." After making a heart-warming gesture to Pei Jiamin, Gu Jiaqi continued to ask Wu Bin: "Actually, I have a very serious question to ask."
"Well, ask." Wu Bin nodded with a smile.
"Why is there no astronomy course from elementary school to high school?"
After hearing Gu Jiaqi's question, Wu Bin couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that she actually asked a somewhat in-depth question.
"Are you interested in astronomy?" Wu Bin asked.
"Yeah!" Gu Jiaqi nodded, "I really like looking at the stars!"
"This question is really a long story." Wu Bin touched his chin and really didn't know where to start.
"It's okay, just tell me slowly." Gu Jiaqi said with bright eyes.
"This way you don't have to do the papers, right?" Pei Jiamin immediately exposed Gu Jiaqi's little thoughts.
"No!" Gu Jiaqi pouted, "I'm really curious! Sister, you said there are no astronomy classes in elementary school, junior high school, and high school, so who would choose the astronomy department when they go to college?"
After hearing what Gu Jiaqi said, Wu Bin thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not that astronomy doesn't appear in middle and high school textbooks, it's just that they have been scattered and hidden in various subjects."
"Hmm, what about?" Gu Jiaqi looked expectant.
"For example, starting from Kepler, astronomy bid farewell to mathematical geometric models and began to move closer to physics. It can be said that with Kepler's three laws as the foundation, many theoretical formulas in astronomy can be classified into physics. .”
"Oh, by the way, the principle of astronomical telescopes is actually optics, so it will naturally appear in physics textbooks."
"Oh~" Gu Jiaqi nodded, "What else?"
"In mathematics, textbooks from elementary school actually teach you the concept of calendar and the corresponding conversions. Of course, it's only a small part, such as hours, minutes, seconds, as well as calculating dates, leap years, etc."
"Is this considered astronomy?" Gu Jiaqi was a little surprised.
"Of course, they are the most basic part of astronomy." Wu Bin nodded with a smile.
