From all-round academic master to chief scientist

Chapter 34 The National Training Team Opens

As Lin Xiao's studies gradually entered the deep water area, he felt more and more like the ocean was wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky was high enough for birds to fly.

Because learning this more difficult knowledge can make him feel more comfortable.

This is probably like a shark in an aquarium and a shark in the ocean. For a shark that needs to swim continuously throughout its life, the space in the aquarium is too small for it to exert its superb swimming ability, while the ocean The difference is that the ocean is wide enough for a shark to swim for a lifetime without reaching every corner.

When Lin Xiao's mathematics level reached level 1, in addition to the 0.05% increase in brain development, he also vaguely felt that his understanding of mathematics had also been slightly enhanced. This was probably a hidden effect, and the system did not This was not explained to him.

With such enhancement, coupled with 2.75% brain development, only more difficult problems can satisfy Lin Xiao's need for new knowledge.

Of course, he has not fallen behind on other subjects in the college entrance examination, and he still makes time every day to consolidate this knowledge.

After all, only if he gets the No. 1 pick in science next year can he earn millions of dollars and be a few percentage points closer to a small goal.

Therefore, in the subsequent school examinations, his grades remained at the top of his grade, and his total score in the four subjects was always above 700 points, and occasionally he could score more than 740 points.

And time passed quickly.

…

The end of 2017, December 28.

For most people, their age will increase by one year in a few days, but for senior high school students, they will face a test that determines their future destiny in less than six months. .

Of course, there are always some outliers among senior high school students. For example, there are sixty top math students who have been recommended to Qingbei. Although there is no need to take the test six months later, they have also faced their own test.

That is the first phase of the national team selection training starting on December 30.

At this stage of training, 45 people will be eliminated, and 15 people will be left to participate in the second stage of selection to be held in late March next year, and six people will be left to become the national team.

The ratio of ten to one is very cruel, especially since the 54 people who will be eliminated by then are all top mathematical geniuses among students.

But there is no way, only the genius among geniuses, the geniuses among geniuses...the geniuses among geniuses have the opportunity to represent the country.

If you want to win honors, you must have corresponding strength as support.

As for the first phase of training and selection, it was held at the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to East China Normal University. Sixty students reported on the 29th and officially started on the 30th.

There will be two exams in the first stage of selection. Each exam has the same format as the Olympiad. It takes two days and has three questions every day. Then based on the results of these two times, those who will enter the second stage of selection will be selected.

In addition to the exams, ten course lectures will also be arranged during the period, and various mathematics celebrities will be invited to come here to give lectures to the students. These lectures will explain various questions to these mathematical geniuses, and will also explain the exam papers to them. .

In addition, some CMOs who have won the second prize or above but have not entered the national training team can also choose to pay a large sum of money to come here to sit in, take exams and attend classes with the training team members, which can also improve their basic skills. , as if they were signing up for a training class, so about twenty students chose to come and observe.

All these people added up to a total of more than eighty students.

And Lin Xiao was naturally among them.

This time, Lin's father and mother did not come with him. After all, they were busy with work and it was not good to take long vacations all the time. Therefore, Lin Xiao went alone. It was also the first time for him to go out alone. Far away.

However, he personally feels quite good. Just like when many boys go to college and leave their parents for the first time, what they think in their hearts is "Ah hahaha, I finally don't have to be controlled anymore." After all, most of them had this feeling in their hearts when they were young. I want to grow up quickly so that I don’t have to be controlled by my family.

However, after staying at the university for ten days and a half, I no longer think so. I miss my home. I don’t know how many students will secretly shed tears of missing me at night.

Of course, Lin Xiao is just here to participate in the competition. It will take about thirteen days. Although it is quite long, it is not a big problem.

Moreover, there is nothing to worry about when traveling safely. This time, the Qin Provincial Mathematical Society sent people to send them to participate in the competition. After all, they represented the whole province in the competition, and even the expenses were paid by the province.

This is also to avoid the situation where some math geniuses from poor families are unable to participate in the competition because their families cannot afford thousands of dollars. Such a regret should not occur in China, which has implemented nine-year compulsory education. Not to mention, Qin Province has implemented 12 years of compulsory education since 2016.

So just like that, amid the sound of blessings, Lin Xiao and another teammate Sun Yu arrived at their destination, the First High School Affiliated to East China Normal University.

First of all, you need to check into the hotel and put your luggage. The hotel where you live is designated, which is a nearby hotel.

"Well, Lin Xiao, this is your room card, 718. Sun Yu, this is your 705. If you want to live together, just communicate with your roommates."

The team leader sent by the Qin Provincial Mathematical Society checked in for them and got their room cards.

This room was basically divided randomly, not according to the same province. After all, some provinces only had one student, and some provinces had an odd number of students, so Lin Xiao was not with Sun Yu.

"Then no need, it's too much trouble."

Lin Xiao and Sun Yu shook their hands. They were not familiar with each other, whether they lived together or not.

"Okay, let's go up now."

The leader didn't say anything, nodded, and led the two of them up to the seventh floor.

Soon, with the help of the team leader, they all put their things into the room, and then it was time to separate from the team leader.

"Then I wish you good results, classmate Lin Xiao, don't talk about it, classmate Sun Yu, you are also very talented. Your results from the league to the CMO have shown this, so I hope you can also Achieve good results, our Qin Provincial Mathematical Society looks forward to hearing from you."

"Thank you, leader!"

The two students nodded.

"Well, that's it for now. I'm leaving first. Just call me if you need anything."

Afterwards, the team leader left here.

After Lin Xiao said goodbye to Sun Yu, he also returned to his room.

The room is a standard room with two single beds.

After all, hotel rooms are limited, and it is impossible to provide a single room for more than 90 of them.

There is already a boy in the room, who will probably be his roommate for the next twelve days.

There was no exchange of words while putting the luggage just now. Lin Xiao thought for a while, no matter what, we would have to live in the same room for twelve days, so we still had to say a few words, right?

So he said hello: "Hello, my name is Lin Xiao, what is your name?"

The boy was studying at the table. After hearing the voice, he raised his head slightly, glanced at Lin Xiao, and said, "Kong Huaan."

After saying that, he turned back and continued reading.

"Oh, by the way, which province are you from?"

"Going to Beijing."

"What?"

His voice was too soft, and Lin Xiao couldn't hear him clearly.

"He went to Beijing." Kong Huaan's voice was a little louder, but not much louder.

"It's good to go to Beijing. I'm from Qin Province."

"oh."

"..."

Awkward conversations with strangers were obviously not very interesting, especially as Lin Xiao felt that Kong Huaan seemed a bit too introverted.
