Chapter 273: I’m here again in Beijing
August 4th to 8th are the days when the national competition is held, mainly the two games on the 5th and 7th. Each game starts at 8 a.m. By noon, the intensity is full.
Before the start of the first exam, which is August 4th, each player will be given two hours of practice time - that is, a simulation match to familiarize themselves with the competition venue, equipment and software environment. .
After the simulation competition, there will be a half-hour written test, which will be included in the official test score.
Compared with the national competition, the provincial selection examination is much freer in form and scoring standards.
For programming questions, the score of the contestant's answer will depend on the correctness of the result, the efficiency of the algorithm, and the efficiency of the program's operation.
The provincial selection is a more subjective scoring, while the national competition is much more rigorous.
The national competition will use multiple test points when evaluating results. Even if the algorithm and program are implemented correctly, less efficient answers may fail to obtain points due to timeout at several test points.
The requirements are very strict and direct. If you want to get high scores, you must take into account both accuracy and efficiency.
The most exciting thing is that as soon as each competition ends, the evaluation will be completed within two hours, and the score sheet will be sent directly to the team leader of each provincial team for signature. The score sheet will mark the test points for each question of the contestants. Error messages for points scored and points lost.
This means that all contestants will know their results before three o'clock in the afternoon on August 7th.
Rankings and scores will also be displayed directly on the big screen.
After finishing the exam at one o'clock that day, after having a meal, I found out who the winner and loser were. It was indeed a rollercoaster for my heart.
The Linjiang Provincial Team has a total of 20 people, including 15 high school students and 5 junior high school students. They boarded the plane early in the morning on August 2nd.
The team leader is Director Jin, an old acquaintance, and there are also computer teachers from several major participating schools.
Dong Chengliang also became the team leader of the junior high school group.
“How do you feel about coming to Beijing again?” The computer teacher had just finished checking in for several junior high school boys and asked Li Yan by the way when the room card was distributed to her.
Li Yan looked around the old hotel and shook his head at Teacher Dong.
"You kid," Dong Chengliang smiled and patted Li Yan on the back, "We are here to take the exam, not to receive the award. This is the teacher's first time in Beijing. This hotel is nice. Wait. You will have to live in your middle school on August 4th.”
“So I still think it’s early. I heard that they have arranged to pick me up at the train station on the morning of August 4th.” Li Yan waved her hands. , "There is also a bus that takes us directly to the school. Now we have come here to stay in a hotel, and we can't get into the school. What are we doing?"
"Isn't this because I'm afraid that you will have a hard time traveling? The Linjiang Computer Society is relatively rich and has directly booked the air tickets and hotels. It would be great for everyone to relax in Beijing first."
As he spoke, his hand suddenly There were two more tickets, which were given to him by Li Yan.
Buffet and movie tickets?
"Where did it come from?"
"The lingering shadow of the last award will help you relax."
Li Yan was naturally in the same hotel room as Chen Fan. As soon as he entered, he lay slumped on the bed, in sharp contrast to Chen Fan who was looking around.
“Why aren’t you happy?”
Li Yan kicked the suitcase, “Originally, No. 45678 only had clothes for five days, but now because I came to stay in the hotel early, there are even more. It’s annoying to take it with you for two days.”
“When you live in Shangjing No. 80 Middle School, can’t you do your own laundry?”
“…”
"So you're not going to wash it?"
"I originally thought... we would still stay in a five-star hotel."
Chen Fan shook his head repeatedly, "It's different. It's different, Li Yan is no longer on the same level as us ordinary people! No, you haven’t read the competition rules?”
“Bad habits, but don’t change them.”
I hate it.” "Process" and everything related to it, including understanding the process, following the process, etc., is a problem that Li Yan had before he was reborn.
He was tired of spending his energy on these "trivial" things.
For example, in a competition notice, he will only pay attention to the specific exam time, and hope that everything else will be left to the team leader to consider.
In his previous life, he often laughed at himself that this was a disease of wealth. Only sons who were born as butlers or bosses with personal secretaries might develop this habit.
But now, he is really qualified to get this disease of wealth.
“It seems that progress this year is faster than in previous years.”
"How do you say that?"
"Not only did you not read the regulations of the competition, but you also don't understand the situation in previous years." Chen Fan squinted his eyes and made a speechless expression, "Good guy, you look like you don't care. Then I got second place in the provincial selection test, which is really enviable.”
“Don’t mention second place.”
“In previous years, the national team elite selection competition was held. The four big players who stood out in the national competition last year and defeated the dungeon would normally hold a meeting at this year's national competition. However, looking at this year's regulations, after the results are announced, the top ten players will be arranged to defend themselves on the 8th, and the closing ceremony will be held. The four gods of war who will participate in the international competition will be announced soon!”
“Why?”
"It is said that the time of the World Championship has been rescheduled. It used to be the Summer Championship in August every year, but next year it was suddenly changed to the Winter Championship and will be held in January. If the elite selection is held again, the time will be rushed. No wonder this time Chairman Du is here - but he seems to be here as well. I don’t know what kind of defense questions there will be on the 8th, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with me.”
Chen Fan finished with a look of anticipation. He lost his face and said, "Brother, you really don't know anything?" "Why is it postponed?"
... This ghost knows!
It’s a pity that Li Yan didn’t know the situation before his rebirth. If it were different, could it be some kind of strange butterfly effect?
But it doesn't matter. According to what Wang Peihua said about the junior class of BGI, there is a high probability that he will not need to study in the third grade of junior high school.
For certain heavyweight results, the sooner the better, naturally. The international competition is only taken during the summer vacation. In the negotiations regarding the junior class of BGI, Li Yan still has one less bargaining chip.
He imagined the moment when he was announced as a player in the international competition, and expressed that he was still a little interested.
It’s a show-off moment, not bad.
Looking at Li Yan’s excited expression, Chen Fan poured cold water on him:
"Li Yan, let me remind you first, you are participating in a Category B competition after all."
"I know."
For the king, pouring cold water on it is dangerous enough. , so Chen Fan decisively changed the scene:
"Don't get used to living in other people's dormitories by then..."
In his eyes, Li Yan was already a complete young man.
"With such an attitude, I'd better bear hardships and stand hard work, okay?"
"Okay, okay, then... what are we doing now?" Chen Fan also lay on the bed, feeling a little confused for a while.
Review... I have been training for half a month before, and I can't learn anything now; let's play... I'm staying in a hotel where I'm not familiar with the place, and I don't know what to play; get to know friends Well... the proud people from other regions haven't come yet - thinking about it this way, Linjiang's wealth-rich operations really feel like spending money on the back of a knife.
"Why don't I take you to the buffet." Li Yan took out a few more tickets and said, "Bring Deng Yudi with you by the way."
Then the three of them were stopped when they went to Dong Chengliang to report. .
The reason is naturally to seek stability before taking the exam, so as not to get a bad stomach later.
So the three of them turned to studying the order delivery system in the afternoon tea rest area. Dong Chengliang was very pleased to see it, but it made other people uneasy.
The next day, Director Jin also took everyone around for a tour to "get a perceptual understanding of Beijing."
According to him, the purpose of this shopping trip is to "form an aura that fits the city."
……
The hotel they stayed in was not far from the examination venue, Beijing No. 80 Middle School, so Linjiang Province became the earliest team to arrive at the National Youth Olympic Games - earlier than the Beijing team...
Receptionist at the door The staff were still sitting lazily, without even unfurling the banners. They were also caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the Linjiang representative team.
Register, count people, and receive name tags.
A group of people dragged their suitcases and walked into the gate of Shangjing No. 80 Middle School at eight o'clock in the morning.
It was summer vacation, and the huge campus was very quiet.
We had just trained at New Taipei Middle School, so we were not too impressed by the hardware facilities of No. 80 Middle School.
But the Xin'ao national competition elements that can be seen everywhere make them very excited.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a big welcome sign. It is the iconic theme color of the Informatics Olympiad, sky blue, and it reads "Welcome all outstanding contestants to participate in the 26th National Youth Informatics Olympiad in 2009" With white characters, the two signs form a welcome sign on the opposite side of the road, guiding everyone to the registration office.
The lengthy confirmation and registration process made Li Yan a little annoyed.
He kept lamenting in his heart that coming early had the advantage of coming early. He couldn't imagine how miserable it would be for these hundreds of people to register together.
The registration time was too long, and we even had to wait until the Beijing delegation arrived at the registration office one after another.
After he finished reporting and received uniform uniforms for the competition, daily necessities packages, and campus life guidelines - including dormitory locations, meal tickets, etc., he finally walked in with Chen Fan to stay temporarily for three days. dormitory.
Everyone lives in the dormitory of senior high school students who have left school for two months. The interior has been cleaned and tidied up and equipped with hotel supplies including pillows and mattresses.
“Experience high school life in advance!” Chen Fan shouted, then walked around the dormitory excitedly, then sat slumped on the bunk, “Why do you feel that this is not as good as our dormitory?”
“Can the ordinary model with full accommodation in high school compare with our two-in-one customized model?” Li Yan said with a smile.
There are bunk beds for eight people here, but for the sake of the contestants’ experience, only mattresses are placed on each bottom bunk and equipped with a small table.
There were names on the beds, in the same dormitory as Li Yan and Chen Fan, there were two contestants from Shangjing No. 1 Middle School.
"He Zixiang..." Li Yan looked at the name and muttered silently.
“Do you know me?” A skinny boy with acne on his face happened to come in at the door.
"Uh... no, I just happened to see..."
"Li Yan?!"
The boy's eyes widened.
