Chapter 7 Victor's Silence

Victor saw everything at a glance, and soon read Lena's outline of the paper.

According to the review process, he needs to exchange "answers" with Jess, and give opinions together after reading the outlines of Lena and Kaya's papers respectively.

So, Kaya came to Victor with her paper.

Lena nervously went to Jess and handed out her open notebook:

"Professor Jess, this is my thesis design."

"Hmm." Jess took the notebook. Like Victor just now, he asked Lena:

"What's your name?"

"Lena."

"Where's your last name?"

"No family name." Lina stole a glance at Victor and said confidently, "My name is Lina."

"Oh?" Jess really understood: "Are you from Zu'an?"

"Yes." Lena nodded frankly.

"It's really Zu'an..." Jess looked at her delicate and weak face, and couldn't help boasting: "Lena, you don't look like it at all."

Lena: "..."

You don't look like Zuan——

If it had been before, she would have thought it was a compliment from Picheng people.

But after reading Li Wei's article, she felt uncomfortable when she heard such praise again.

Jess was unaware of this.

He just picked up the notebook step by step and reviewed Lena's paper design.

A moment later

"Victor, what do you think?" Jess frowned and turned to exchange views with Victor.

The final result is finally coming out. Lena and Kaya cannot help holding their breath nervously.

But Victor's answer was: "Each has its own problems, and it's hard to distinguish between them."

"Hmm..." Jess nodded, "I think so too."

"The outlines of their two papers are almost at the same level, and they were completed almost at the same time. It's really difficult to distinguish between good and bad."

However, there is only one member of the research group.

"That?" Miss Kaya asked with concern.

She, Lena and even Victor subconsciously looked at Jess.

Because everyone knows that Jess is the leader of the research group, and the final decision is in Jess's hands.

"I think..."

Jess's eyes flashed over Lena and Kaya one by one.

The scene was so quiet that I could hear the heartbeat.

Those students who have given up the assessment also looked at it attentively.

Finally, Jess gave his answer:

"I think it is Kaya who is more suitable for our research group."

"If no other student can hand in the outline design, she will be the winner this time."

The scene was quiet, and no one came onto the stage again.

Obviously, the outcome has been divided.

Lena turned pale in an instant.

She mumbled to say something, but looking at the spirited Kaya Filos, she finally closed her mouth reluctantly.

What can I say?

If her paper design can be significantly better than Kaya, there may be a glimmer of hope.

Now the performance of the two people is almost the same. Who will Professor Jess choose? Is that worth thinking about?

Everyone knows how to choose the eldest daughter of Picheng and the native sister of Zu'an.

Not only Lena, but also other people present, especially Zuan's overseas students, seemed to have expected Kaya's victory, one by one.

No one questioned Jess's judgment.

Everyone accepted it naturally.

Only Victor frowned slightly. But he hesitated for a long time, and finally said nothing.

Instead, Jess took the initiative to explain for his own judgment:

"I chose Kaya mainly because... although her and Lina's thesis designs are hard to distinguish, if I have to compare them, I think Lina's design defects are more serious."

"She only wanted to determine the working point of the engine and generator according to the optimal braking fuel consumption rate curve of the steam robot, but this working point only means that the engine has the highest fuel/effective output mechanical power conversion efficiency at this point. For the energy increasing device discussed in this topic, it is usually hoped that the engine and generator will work at the working point with the highest fuel electric energy conversion efficiency... "

Jess's clear and detailed analysis convinced all the students present.

Unconsciously, those strange eyes are less.

The students were all listening carefully, and the delicate air changed with them.

Even Lena herself had no choice but to accept the failure with conviction.

She believed that Professor Jess made such a judgment because she was not strong enough.

"Kaya... Congratulations."

Lena lost her soul to her sworn enemy.

As for how proud Kaya's smile was, how she left the classroom with her new teacher after Professor Jess with high spirits

Lena has no strength to see it.

She just sat down at the bottom of the platform dejectedly and kept reflecting on her previous mistakes.

If she can think more carefully and not make the mistake pointed out by Professor Jess Maybe, maybe she has a chance But why didn't I think about it!

"Don't blame yourself too much, Lena."

Suddenly, a deep male voice sounded in his ears.

Lena looked up and saw Victor with a cane:

"Professor Victor, you... you haven't left yet?"

"I left, but I came back." Victor put down his stick and sat down slowly in front of her. "To tell you something, I think you should know about it."

"What is it?"

"You are not to blame for this failure." Victor said in a complicated tone: "Although the mistakes Jess pointed out to you do exist."

"But to the same extent, there is no mistake in Kaya's paper design."

"Her experimental design for optimizing strategies to reduce engine transient conditions can be said to be a disaster... If you have to compare design defects, I don't think you are worse."

"This..." Lena's body was trembling slightly.

Although Victor said it implicitly, she still recognized that:

Her thesis design is not inferior to that of Kaya!

She didn't lose At least, we didn't lose in strength.

"Why is Professor Jess..." Lena hesitated. She still dare not say. It's no use saying that.

But Victor said for her if he had any point:

"Jess is a pure scientist and a just man."

"But... he grew up in Picheng after all."

Victor sighs helplessly and stops here.

Jess Tallis, whom he knew, was certainly not the kind of person who would give up his principles in order to cling to power.

At least not now.

Jess certainly didn't choose Kaya because of the reputation of the Philos family, because he and the Philos family have interests in each other.

But he But for some reason, the subconscious excluded Lina.

The reason is that Jess did not realize it.

But Victor realized that he had experienced it many times in the years he worked with Jess.

"It's because..." Lena realized something: "Am I Zu'an?"

"Sorry," Victor said.

After receiving this reply, Lena's face became more pale.

She was stunned for a long time, and finally tried hard to cheer up:

"Professor Victor, you have nothing to apologize for... I should thank you."

"Thank you..." Victor was silent.

What can I thank him for?

He could have doubted Jess's decision before, but he didn't say anything.

Why? In his usual scientific research, he often disagrees with Jess.

Why don't you dare to speak at this time?

Because...

"I'm still the Zu'an man... I've been like this for more than ten years."

Zu'an people are used to silence.

Victor's face gradually changed.

His eyes were quietly firm, his hands clenched the cane, and he stood up slowly supporting his weak body:

"Lena, give me your notebook."

"Hmm?" Lena raised her head unexpectedly.

"I will take it back and discuss it with everyone in the research group." Victor promised firmly: "As long as everyone recognizes your strength, maybe I can win an additional place for you."

Lena's eyes lit up when she heard it.

She immediately hurriedly took out the notebook and solemnly handed it to Victor.

"Professor Victor, Xie..." She said incoherently, "Thank you!"

Victor accepted Lena's thanks frankly this time.

He carefully placed the notebook in his arms, then said goodbye to her with a stick, turned and left here.

Lena looked gratefully at his back and watched Victor go away.

"Hey, wait..." But after the excitement, she finally thought of something:

"That notebook!"

When she handed the notebook to Victor and Jess for review, she turned it over to the page of the outline of the paper in advance and handed it over when she was ready. So the two professors only saw what she wrote.

But in that notebook, there is not only the outline of the paper.

At the beginning of the notebook, there is also Li Wei's article, "Where did Zuan come from?"

"If this article is seen by professors..."

Lena became uneasy again:

"Is there anything wrong?"
