Three days passed quickly and immediately the day of expert interviews in Beijing.

Train tickets to Beijing are reimbursed by schools but hotel fees are not.

Three people arrived in Beijing by train and each of them booked a hotel room near Yanjing University.

They didn't talk that night.

The three planned to meet the next morning at eight in the Yanjing University waiting room just outside the interview venue.

When they arrived, the place was crowded. Not only was there a competition team, but there were also media reporters interviewing the team.

Lu Zhou did not want to appear on TV and hence, he found a distant position and sat down. He took out a printed thesis and began his final preparations.

He had not even started reading before hearing the voice of the discussion.

“... Experts have chosen the prize before the interview. The interview is just a test of the authenticity of your thesis. "Not far away, a seemingly awkward genius leaned back in his chair as he conversed with the team, "I've been here three times. "

Some listeners are surprised, “Ya, the winner has been selected?”

"They've written the press release!" Said the genius with a smile.

"Oh my God, where are you from?"

"Youth."

Expressions of admiration appeared on the faces of the people.

The genius of Wudaokou is different from the others!

Won three national first-level prizes. Very impressive!

Maybe this guy came after the Higher Education Society Cup ?!

But I think Wudaokou university does not participate in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition because they only care about their inner competition?

Maybe they are participating ...

Lu Zhou sat nearby and his face was astonished.

Is this true?

He thought that the expert interview was similar to the presentation and he did not know that he was only here to show his face. He had spent three days refining his powerpoint, but no one cared.

Lu Zhou did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Even though he was only here to show his face, he was still able to get something right? After all, geniuses all over the country were gathered here. If he could be friends with people at this level, it would help in the development of his career in the future ...

However, it's just a theory and it's not always true for real life.

The geniuses were all arrogant. A group of arrogant people would not be able to make friends because they could not even communicate well.

Lin Yuxiang felt uneasy and uncomfortable sitting among this group of people.

He was used to being caught between two geniuses. However, now that there were dozens of geniuses around, as stupid disciples, he felt incompatible and he was under immense pressure from that!

A sweet and innocent smile became stiff and unnatural.

Lu Zhou was reading the thesis in his hand in preparation for an upcoming expert interview when a young female reporter came up with a cameraman.

"Master, hello. Are you Lu Zhou? "

When Lu Zhou lifted his head and looked at the microphone, he had some suspicion in his heart but he simply nodded and said, "Yes."

"I'm a reporter from the Beijing Daily. Can I interview you? "

"Sure, what do you want to ask?"

"Thank you for your cooperation," the female reporter said with a smile. She continued, "How do you feel about this mathematical modeling competition?"

Lu Zhou thought and said, "It's okay."

That's all he said.

“...” The female reporter smiled politely and continued to ask, “Isn't it okay? Can I ask if you find the question difficult? ”

"This ... Okay," said Lu Zhou.

Near!

I almost said "It's okay" again.

Lu Zhou secretly praised his intelligence.

Female reporter: "..."

After Lu Zhou finally sent the reporter away, he prepared to calm down and read his thesis as a man walked over.

The man was wearing a prominent suit and he looked educated. Lu Zhou thought that he looked decent. His tremors were similar to Wang Xiaodong but more ferocious.

When the handsome man walked over, Lin Yuxiang's eyes twinkled. He used his phone as a mirror and fiddled with his bangs.

The strange part is that the man didn't even see it. He did not even look at Wang Xiaodong as his eyes were locked on Lu Zhou.

"You're Lu Zhou, right?"

Lu Zhou raised his head and said, "... You?"

"Wei Wen, from Yan University," Wei Wen said as she extended her hand. He continued, "I saw your thesis on [The Optimal Reversal Theory of Linear and Functional Linear Operators], it was very well written."

Lu Zhou smiled as he shook his hand and said, "You're too good."

"There's no need to be humble" Wei Wen said as she let go of Lu Zhou's hand. He then said, "Of course, your thesis might be good but I'm the one who won this competition."

Lu Zhou:? ? ?

After Wei Wen said this, he turned around and left.

As Lu Zhou watched the back of the man, he was confused.

Whatwhat the fuck? He came all the way here and shook my hand, just to speak ** * *?

And I spent all this time analyzing why he came.

Am I the only normal person here?

Lu Zhou shook his head and continued to review his thesis. It was at this moment that the venue rang.

...

At the venue, the judges sit professionally on the judges' desks.

Lu Zhou was numb to all their titles.

He played powerpoint as planned.

Powerpoint presentation complete.

Lu Zhou waited nervously for a question from the organization committee when one of the old men sitting in the middle of the left opened his mouth.

"What are your prospects for landing on the moon?"

Whahuh?

Is this question related to the thesis?

However, Lu Zhou did not hesitate and he immediately responded smoothly.

"It means."

"How meaningful? I think it's a waste of money, ” said the old man. He kept asking, “A while ago, I discussed this with my old friends. In many rural areas of our country, children don't even have desks. Landings cost tens of billions of dollars a year. Compared to Americans, or Russians, how much does that mean? ”

Lu Zhou looked at this old man strangely. He did not know what he meant by asking these questions. Did he ask about the future of aerospace technology? The scientific value of landing on the moon? If the space program increases national morale?

He's not sure.

Lu Zhou quietly observed the other judges and saw that they were watching with interest.

When Lin Yuxiang saw that her captain was not speaking, she could not help but feel anxious. However, Wang Xiaodong stood behind Lu Zhou and was expressionless. Perhaps he thought that the captain would have an answer or that he also did not know how to answer it.

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and opened his mouth.

"Do you think that the Great Wall has meaning?"

The old man's eyebrows shot up because he didn't expect an answer. He smiled and said, “Of course it means something. What Chinese disagree? ”

"That's now but what about before?" Lu Zhou asked with a smile as well. He looked at the old man and said, “More than 1000 years ago, many people protested against the waste of resources and gave up on many big projects. Emperor Shi Jingji was criticized for thousands of years for this. Now, if we think it's a waste of money and think that missiles and satellites are enough, won't we be criticized as well? Like we're giving up on the universe? "

The judge's desk became silent.

Although Lin Yuxiang held her breath, she still had a smile on her face. Wang Xiaodong was still expressionless but his fist was tightly pinched.

The old man looked at Lu Zhou and suddenly laughed.

“Hahaha, yes! What a good answer!"

Is this over?

Lu Zhou could not believe it. This judge actually let him go.

What about thesis? Is it not necessary to check the authenticity of the paper? Why are important steps being skipped? Instead, I was asked something irrelevant.

He did not believe that this old man did not know the meaning behind aerospace.

After the judge signaled Lu Zhou to leave, he picked up his USB stick and left the place with his two team-mates.

Before leaving, he glanced at the old man's nameplate.

She's surprised.

Ren Changming!

Of course, it wasn't the name that frightened him but the title behind the name.

Former Chinese designer of the moon exploration project!

After Lu Zhou and his team left the place, Ren Changming looked at the old man next to him and said with a smile, "Old Man, are you happy with this answer?"

“Oh, why did you bring our discussion to the stage? What will students know? He is full of himself, ” said Wang Zhongyi. Even though he was dissatisfied, from the expression on his face, it seemed different.

Wang Zhongyi stopped and asked, "Who is the student's name?"

Ren Changming opened the vacuum tube and sipped some hot water before he smiled and said, "Lu Zhou."

Wang Zhongyi frowned and said, "I think I've heard his name before ..."

...

When the three men returned to the hotel at night, they gathered in front of the television in Lu Zhou's room.

The winner will be announced on television.

It seemed that the expert interview was indeed only for the team to show their faces. The winner is decided before the interview starts. Otherwise, it would be impossible to determine the champion in such a short period of time.

They don't even have time to exchange opinions!

"It's great to get a national first-rate prize" Lin Yuxiang said as he looked at the television. He whispered, "I see a lot of geniuses in the waiting room."

"Yes," Wang Xiaodong said as he nodded. He added, "I saw some familiar faces in the lounge."

"Akrabic?" Ask Lu Zhou.

"Yes," nodded Wang Xiaodong. He said with an expressionless face, "I saw them at the National Student Programming Contest last year."

Worth it!

Then it was really a gathering of geniuses.

Lu Zhou nodded and continued to stare at the TV.

A competition such as a mathematical modeling competition has fewer viewers and hence, CCTV does not spend much time reporting on it. Instead, they include it among news segments.

“Sore this, the last expert interview of the National Mathematical Modeling Competition ended successfully. There are more than 70,000 undergraduate and specialist students in the country, and a total of more than 300 first-rate prizes nationwide. ”

"Of the 300 national first-rate prizes, there are also two special awards for the Community Cup of Higher Education and the Matlab Innovation Award."

That'shere.

Lu Zhou squeezed his fist as he held his breath and looked at the screen.

The deciding moment of my mission evaluation is here!

Winners list announced.

The winners of the Higher Education Community Cup are…

Lu Zhou, Wang Xiaodong, Lin Yuxiang (Jin Ling University)!
