From Trash to Treasure: The Sinclair Family's Beloved Genius Chapter 88: Chloe Sinclair Takes the Stage
After she finished, the judges still didn’t seem to have any questions. Her expression stiffened.
After a long mont, she couldn’t help but speak up. "Esteed judges, don’t you have any questions?"
At this, Mr. Sutton lowered his gaze slightly and asked, "Why are you researching two-dinsional quantum phenona?"
Jolie Yates was taken aback. For a mont, she thought Mr. Sutton was joking. "No one has successfully researched three-dinsional quantum phenona yet," she couldn’t help but say. "But my experint elevates its two-dinsional counterpart, bringing it closer to the three-dinsional level. This is already a significant advancent regarding the Hall effect."
The three-dinsional quantum Hall effect had been a hot topic in recent years, but everyone was still stuck at the two-dinsional level. Achieving the three-dinsional state would likely take another ten years or more.
But her current experint was already on the verge of the three-dinsional state. Logically, the judges should have been asking her nurous academic questions. Instead, they didn’t seem inclined to speak at all.
Jolie Yates gritted her teeth and demanded, "Esteed judges, did I do sothing wrong?"
Landon Sinclair silently reviewed Jolie Yates’s experint report for a mont, then nodded. "The direction of your research topic is indeed correct."
Hearing this, Jolie Yates lifted her chin even higher.
She hadn’t expected Landon Sinclair to affirm the direction of her experint.
But his next words made her expression freeze.
Landon Sinclair paused, then continued, "But your initial approach was wrong."
"What?"
Jolie Yates exclaid, demanding again, "How is that possible!"
If it weren’t for Landon Sinclair’s high standing and his reputation as a once-in-a-century Physics Genius, she would have questioned if he even understood Physics.
"Professor, did you even read it carefully? I’ve been researching this topic for a long ti. Even Professor Warner from Emberfall University said my direction was fine."
Landon Sinclair didn’t say anything. Instead, it was Mr. Sutton who studied the report intently for a long ti.
Finally, he affird, "Young Landon is right. Your experint was flawed from the very beginning."
"The quantum particles didn’t start with one-dinsional motion, which is why the sequence was disrupted."
A flash of disappointnt crossed Mr. Sutton’s eyes. "You cut corners."
A hint of fear flickered in Jolie Yates’s eyes.
"Impossible... How could it be? I ran the experint so many tis, it’s absolutely impossible..."
But regardless of Jolie Yates’s explanations, the five judges tactfully gave her a bare passing score of sixty.
When Jolie Yates received this score, she was completely stunned. After leaving the stage, she couldn’t stop crying.
Mr. Sutton frowned, a sudden sense of displeasure rising within him.
’That’s just how experints are,’ he thought. ’There’s a possibility of error at every step. Furthermore, any experint must be done step-by-step; cutting corners is simply unacceptable. It isn’t that you won’t find success that way, but once you develop a rigid mindset, it becos very difficult to correct it later on. Just like Jolie Yates now—completely unable to accept that sothing she had researched for so long was wrong from the very beginning.’
But failure was sothing every researcher experienced. Her reaction was what truly displeased him.
Just as he was lost in thought, a staff mber suddenly handed him Chloe Sinclair’s experint report.
Mr. Sutton wasn’t expecting much, but he was curious to see what Chloe Sinclair was capable of, so he gave it a casual glance. However, when he saw the topic of her research, his eyes were practically glued to the page.
"This... this... this..."
Mr. Sutton looked up at Landon Sinclair, his eyes filled with an indescribable clarity.
Surprise, doubt, shock, excitent...
In the span of just a few seconds, a flurry of emotions flashed through Mr. Sutton’s eyes.
