Chapter 227 Departure for Xin’an!
This volume has suddenly reached April 30th, and the "shortest May Day holiday in history" is just around the corner.
It’s funny to say that the first May Day when Li Yan came back was the first May Day when the seven-day long holiday was cancelled, and the holiday in 2009 was only three days.
The vacation is very short, and the midterm exam results will be announced immediately after the vacation, so the roommates are debating whether to go home or not.
Li Yan and Chen Fan have nothing to worry about. On May 1st, they will leave for Xin'an City, next door to New Taipei City. On May 2nd, they will officially participate in the provincial selection for the Informatics Olympiad for middle school students. The exam will end in the afternoon of the same day. Return trip.
In just two days, Li Yan finally revised the letter to Su Siqing and took the time to send it.
As for the situation of online articles, the discussion boom of "Nangong Boy" subsided very quickly. After everyone looked for foreshadowing for a few days, the old readers fell silent, but the new readers who came later still had a great time. Huh.
The result was finally stuck at 8,000 points - it is indeed very difficult to get ten thousand orders in this era. Kaiyuan's mouth is really poisonous.
However, Kaiyuan remained excited and sent some data to Li Yan every day. The word that appeared most frequently was "awesome".
Although Li Yan's book has just begun its fourth volume and is still in the slow-baking stage, the number of subscriptions is quite high.
Needless to say, everyone is here for foreshadowing...
Li Yan shook his head, and when I come back on May Day, I will prepare some delicacies to satisfy you.
The night before departure, the two masters finally stopped staring at the computer, which made the other roommates very happy.
"Li Yan, when we went to Chuangzu before... did the minister come to see you again?" Chen Fan asked when he saw the Chuangzu W8 in Li Yan's hand.
“I didn’t take the initiative to look for him, so he certainly wouldn’t look for us.” Li Yan yawned, “I don’t know how many people Minister Fang received during that time. He may think that we are the It’s just for fun.”
"Then why don't you look for it?"
"It's useless to look for it now. Let's take advantage of the Olympiad to learn something and open your eyes when you compete in the competition. Let's see if there is a chance to meet some young geniuses. Let's work together. Do it.”
Chen Fan was surprised. Although Li Yan usually acts like a lone hero and says, “I’ll just solve the problem”, when it comes to doing things, he’s still very good at using resources—— Including human resources.
A sense of déjà vu... Chen Fan recalled it, wasn't this something his mother taught him every day?
“People who have to do everything by themselves will not achieve great things. If you expect one person to solve all the work, you will not be able to accomplish great things. You must make reasonable use of human resources. You are only responsible for the most critical checks and solving the most troublesome problems. The machine gun goes to Moving five meters to the left is not something you should worry about.”
Ah... Chen Fan felt tired when he thought of his mother's resolute appearance.
Maybe she and Li Yan will get along well?
On the day of the May Day holiday, no one in dormitory 403 went home. Everyone was so bored that they even arranged to see off their friends for the competition. Everyone waved their hands outside the van, leaving Teacher Dong, who was the team leader, confused. Forced:
“Have your roommates misunderstood? We are going to participate in a competition in two days, not to join the army.”
“Our dormitory is like this. Teachers just have to get used to it. ." Li Yan said.
Xin'an City, the second largest city in Linjiang Province, is just next door to New Taipei City. It focuses on high-tech industries. Although it developed late, it is very fast.
Compared to New Taipei City, it lacks in heritage, but if New Taipei City has to mention its "traditional heritage" compared to it, it also shows its strength.
It is not unexpected that the provincial selection is held in Xin'an City.
There are "three new cities" in Linjiang, namely New Taipei, the provincial capital, Xin'an, the second largest city, and Xinping next door to Lincheng.
To describe it, New Taipei deserves to be ranked first in comprehensive strength, Xin'an has the strongest immediate combat capability, and Xinping is also a city.
At that time, he was the vanguard in the east of Linjiang, but now he has become the "three new shames" and competes with Lincheng every day.
Xin'an has caught up from behind and has the potential to surpass New Taipei.
“Xin’an Middle School and Luocheng Senior High School have been very strong in the past two years. Only our school in New Taipei can beat them, but it is also the overall strength that wins. It’s hard to say who are the top dozens. ."
Dong Chengliang closed his eyes and began to popularize science. "Oh?" Li Yan replied.
So Teacher Dong opened his eyes and coughed twice, "The competition is for the top small groups, not individuals."
"Are they participating this time?" Chen Fan asked.
"The junior high school of Xin'an Middle School is the only junior high school participating in the provincial selection."
"Is it great?" Chen Fan asked.
"This...I heard it's quite powerful." Dong Chengliang turned back and glanced at Li Yan, who was looking at the scenery outside the window, "But I believe you are even more powerful."
Li Yan didn't respond. He liked to look at the scenery when he was riding in the car, and wanted to remember things he never noticed.
And originally he didn’t care whether the junior high school students were awesome or not. His goal for this competition was the strongest among the high school students.
"Let me tell you about the arrangements for this competition." Dong Chengliang sat in the passenger seat and turned to look at the two children behind him. "Xin'an is not far from here. It takes more than three hours to drive. We will arrive at the hotel at noon, and I will check in. In the afternoon, I will take you to report and familiarize yourself with the examination room. Each person can get on the plane for ten minutes, so you must seize this opportunity."
"Close. Come." Li Yan responded.
“The competition starts at eight o’clock in the morning and ends at 12:30 noon. It lasts four and a half hours. It consists of one written test paper and three practical operation questions. The written test paper and the first two questions test the basic skills of each individual. To answer the questions, the third real-time question can be answered in a team. The two of you wear earphones to communicate internally, and you are not allowed to take off the earphones during the process.”
Li Yan was a little confused, "I heard that the final score for answering questions in a team is based on the project files on their respective computers, so why do we need to arrange a teaming mechanism?"
"A mechanism unique to Linjiang Province. It is said that the registration ratio of each school in the second year's competition is determined based on the team results. "Of course this is the official statement." "What about the unofficial one?"
“I personally think that the provincial organizing committee hopes to see everyone solve more difficult problems and make more powerful results.”
“It sounds nice to say it, right? ”
Dong Chengliang waved his hand gently and did not answer.
"Can I communicate with participating students from other schools while I'm in the hotel?" Li Yan asked suddenly.
"Of course it is possible, and we encourage you to do so. The hotel will also open a conference hall for you to study on your own."
"Conference hall?" Chen Fan was stunned.
“Hotels around the examination centers that host various large-scale competitions all have this standard.”
"Then if there is anyone you want to meet, please ask Teacher Dong for help." Li Yan said with a smile.
Dong Chengliang smiled evilly, his glasses reflecting a strange light, "Young man, does this have a goal? The five people in the Class A competition require a female contestant. Do you still want to chat with the senior sister?"< br>
Did this old Dong turn out to be a sultry man?
Li Yan said seriously, "Teacher, this is not appropriate for you to say."
Dong Chengliang adjusted his glasses and coughed twice more, "Just a joke, just a joke."
"After all, Li Yan already has a senior sister..."
Li Yan instantly stuffed a small piece of bread he bought in the morning into Chen Fan's mouth, making him the second person to win this honor after Lin Heng.
While Dong Chengliang didn’t ask questions, Li Yan struck preemptively:
“Teacher Dong, I heard Director Jin say before that only five people were selected for this competition, but in the end Linjiang still had ten incentives. Quota...what does this mean?”
