Chapter 324: Xu Qiu's dark history

"Xu Qiu, there is good news." After ten o'clock, Wei Xingsi suddenly appeared at door 216 and said:
"Your graduation thesis has been selected as one of the top ten outstanding undergraduates of Modu Comprehensive University and Modu, respectively. It is the school-level and provincial-level honorary titles. This afternoon, a reporter from the Modu Radio and Television Station will come to you. Interview."
"Suddenly, do you need to prepare?" Xu Qiu asked. He has grown up so much, and this is the first time he wants to be on TV.
"It shouldn't be much preparation. It's not a live broadcast format. Just tell the truth at that time," Wei Xingsi smiled and said, "This reporter is an alumnus of Magic University. He will definitely favor his alma mater and treat you as a positive example. You don’t have to be too cautious to promote."
"That's good." Xu Qiu nodded.
Wei Xingsi turned his head and said to Wu Feifei and the others: "You clean up the laboratory. A reporter will come to interview in the afternoon. You may want to take pictures of the laboratory."
After Teacher Wei left, Xu Qiu logged on to the official website of the school and department to check it. He knew that generally such news would be announced for publicity.
Sure enough, the department's "News Express" column contained a news item published yesterday, "Congratulations to Xu Qiu from my department for winning the Top Ten Outstanding Undergraduate Graduation Thesis of Mo City".
Next to the "Research Trends" column there are two previous press releases written by Xu Qiu, "The Wei Xingsi Group of the Department of Materials Science has made important progress in the research of organic photovoltaic highly crystalline polymer donor materials", "The Wei Xingsi Project of the Department of Materials Science The group has made important progress in the research of organic photovoltaic 3D-PDI non-fullerene receptors.
It is precisely the two articles he published before, AM and NC. Only this level of work can be posted on the department's official website.
Xu Qiu randomly scanned the outstanding work of other research groups. Although there are no academicians in the Department of Materials, there are also a few "Yangtze River" scholars, but in the past two years, each group has at most one to three articles in JACS, AM, There is no more powerful work for articles at the level of EES, such as the major journals of Nature or CNS main journals.
After some comparison, the high-quality articles in Teacher Wei's group are the most in the whole department, mainly from the organic photovoltaic field that Xu Qiu is responsible for.
Xu Qiu looked at the school's official website again. It showed the list of the top ten outstanding undergraduate thesis of Magic University. He saw that his name was put on the top of the first place, and he did not see where it was written. In order, it shows that his graduation thesis has a high probability of being ranked first.
In addition, there are also the top ten undergraduate dissertations of Modu. The school has selected three papers, including one from the Department of Materials Science, one from the Department of Journalism, one from the School of Management, and two from the school of Modu Jiaotong University. Five articles were divided among other universities such as Eastern Expedition University.
Although this kind of provincial honorary title will tilt to the head colleges, it can't give all the places to the head, so it is relatively average.
As for whether Xu Qiu's graduation thesis will be rated as one of the top ten national outstanding undergraduate thesis, he is not clear.
In theory, according to the quality of his graduation thesis, it should be top in the country, but this kind of honorary title is subject to a lot of subjective elements, there is plenty of room for operation, and I understand the national conditions.
Who knows the origins of his rivals?
If it is similar to the college entrance examination and the Olympic competition, it is relatively fair.
Speaking of the Olympiad, although Xu Qiu had added 20 points to the college entrance examination by relying on math competitions, there were bitter tears behind him.
The domestic Olympic competition mainly has five major directions, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and informatics.
Among them, with the exception of informatics, that is, computer competition, Xu Qiu has all signed up to participate.
As for computers, Xu Qiu had never learned programming in school before. In computer classes, either the teacher often fell ill, or the students played CS online. Contestants of this level were simply giving away food.
The processes of the other four competitions are similar. They are almost the provincial preliminary rounds, semi-finals, and then select the best from the provincial first prize (provincial first) to participate in the national competition. It is said that some provinces also have special prizes, but Xu Qiu's province does not .
Xu Qiu didn’t pass the preliminary physics contest, and went straight to the street. Both biology and chemistry entered the semifinals. He likes to mention two province two. The province two has no extra points, so it is useless. According to his observation, the students around him basically just There is a prize for entering the semi-finals, and the lowest is also to save three.
However, he won the provincial second place in the math competition, won the provincial first, and honourably advanced to the provincial team and was sent to participate in the national competition.
In the province where Xu Qiu is located, there are a total of three members in the provincial team, and the top three players with one point from the province will participate.
The national competition is similar to the provincial competition. There are also national one to national three. In addition to the certificate, medals, also known as gold, silver, and bronze awards, will be awarded.
It is said that the initial quota of each province is three, and the upper limit is ten. For each gold medal, the subsequent participation quota is permanently +1. The province where Xu Qiu is located is the silver medal, so there have always been only three places.
Although the country is a developing country, there are very big differences between different provinces.
For example, the provinces where the four major first-tier cities are located are actually no different from those in developed countries. After all, these were originally "rich first, then rich". They brought together the nation's human, financial, and resources, prioritizing development, and the speed of development can be imagined. ; At the same time, there are also some impoverished counties who have to walk a few miles in the mountains to go to school.
The national competition was held in Ancheng, Shaanxi Province. Xu Qiu's head teacher was a mathematics teacher (male). He personally took him there. That was also the first time he went to Shaanxi Province.
What impressed me most was that on the day Xu Qiu and the others arrived, the event organizer hosted a banquet in the hotel where they were staying. Then Xu Qiu discovered that the dishes in Ancheng, Shaanxi Province were really spicy, and nine of the ten dishes were made with chili.

I still remember, that night faintly hurt...
The next two days are the official exams, a total of six questions, 3 questions per day, limited to four and a half hours to complete, each 21 points, a total score of 126 points, this score is three times the value of the international Olympic competition, mainly for Adapt to domestic habits.
It is not uncommon in foreign countries to have a 5-point, 7-point, and 10-point system, but in China, the 100-point system, 120-point system, 150-point system, and 750-point system are generally adopted, which is a high-point system.
Xu Qiu thinks that the main reason is that there are too many people in China, and the score system is too small to distinguish between them, and the score is the only criterion. Just like the total score of several hundred points in the college entrance examination, there will still be a difference of one point. In the case of a few hundred places, if it is changed to a 10-point system and 100,000 people share the same score, then there is no mess.
As for the test questions for the competition, Xu Qiu naturally doesn't know one...
Because they are all super-class knowledge of high numbers, including number theory and the like.
Many schools have special competition classes, and the three years of high school are all about preparing for competitions.
This kind of competition class is the distance between heaven and hell. After passing it, it is recommended to C9 colleges and universities such as Qingbei University, Modu Comprehensive University, Modu Jiaotong University, University of Science and Technology of China, Hangzhou University and so on. Students, then there is another chance. If you take the exam in the third year, it will be a bit miserable, and the competition is very talented. It does not mean that you can become stronger after studying for a year.
Xu Qiu became a monk halfway, and could only solve advanced mathematics with elementary knowledge in high school. It is strange to be able to solve the problem.
However, he still carried forward the self-cultivation of the examiners, did not hand in the papers in advance, and worked hard for four and a half hours. With 8 open examination papers, each question was written on an average of three pages, and the papers were fully written.
Another thing that is more impressive is that the test organizer will provide a bottle of water, a Snickers chocolate, a banana, an orange, and a packet of biscuits before entering the test room every day. This is the first time Xu Qiu has seen food. The exam is still relatively new.
The test results came out very quickly. UU read the book www.uukanshu.com soon after the test was finished. It is estimated that the paper will be judged on the spot.
With a full score of 126 points, Xu Qiu scored 6 points.
Six questions, 6 points, he realized immediately, dare to give me one point for each question.
This year's score line is 9 points for bronze, 69 points for silver, and 99 points for gold.
6 points, not even the threshold for the bronze award.
However, afterwards, Xu Qiu's head teacher discussed with the organizer of the event and helped Xu Qiu get a bronze medal. After all, it was all here, and it would not be good for the students to come here for nothing.
The other two in the same province as Xu Qiu are also bronze. There are a few who abandoned the exam in Gansu and Qing provinces and got zero points. The most eye-catching is Guangdong Province. Ten people participated, six gold and four silver, and three got full marks.
In the national mathematics competition, Xu Qiu succeeded in becoming a denominator, and almost returned empty-handed. Thinking about it, it is really a dark history...
