Chapter 103: Competition between top students
The cervical spine, which is usually under a heavy burden, also gets a good exercise.
After taking a look at the system interface, my fatigue was greatly relieved.
After taking a shower, they changed their clothes and came out of the locker room.
"What does it feel like to publish a paper in such a top journal?" Lou Song suddenly asked.
While Lou Song was happy for Xu You's recent achievements, he was also very envious.
"Well... I was very excited at first, but then I gradually calmed down."
Anyone would be happy to have their research results recognized by the world's top journals.
But in the process of scientific research, that sense of joy and accomplishment has always been with Xu You.
After having the experience of publishing papers in top journals twice, Xu You's mentality has become much more stable than before.
"Oh, I really hope to experience this feeling. But that day may not be too far away."
Listening to Lou Song's words, Xu You also realized something.
"Why, have you made any breakthroughs? What are you researching now?"
"Keep it secret for now. I'll tell you when there's a result." Lou Song said with a smile.
Xu You knew that it was inappropriate for him to ask too much, so he did not press the issue any further.
"Well, I'll wait for your good news."
" By the way, do you want to do a set of questions together? The math questions are quite interesting, and not worse than the IMO questions."
"Oh? I'll be happy to accompany you!"
Xu You had been thinking about having a good competition with Lou Song on a question before, and now he had the chance.
Xu You wanted to see if he had the strength to fight against Lou Song in the third-level deep learning state.
Lou Song returned to the dormitory, took out a roll of paper, and found a place to make a copy.
After making a copy of the paper, Lou Song and Xu You went to a study room together.
There are very few students in this study room, and the two of them can sit in the back row without being disturbed by others.
After making preparations, Lou Song made a gesture and the two of them started doing the questions at the same time.
Although this was the test paper prepared by Lou Song, Xu You believed that since Lou Song had challenged him to a test, he definitely had not done these questions in advance.
Although Lou Song is a very smart kid, he doesn't play any tricks.
To some extent, it is even purer than Xu You.
"The style of this roll of paper... seems very similar to the ones Guo Haochen made recently."
These days in the dormitory, Xu You often saw Guo Haochen frowning as he rolled up some papers, making "hao lan" sounds from time to time.
Although Xu You didn't look carefully, the rolls of paper were all in this handwriting, which was very recognizable.
However, Xu You did not think much about it. He immediately started deep learning and began to analyze these questions seriously.
With the help of the third-level deep learning state, Xu You's biological clock not only slowed down, but his brain also entered the most efficient state.
Even though Xu You hadn't touched math problems for a long time, he still quickly got back to his form.
Because his biological clock has slowed down, Xu You's writing speed would seem extremely exaggerated if viewed from a third-person perspective.
Even Xu You's fingers could hardly keep up with the speed of his own thinking.
On the other hand, Lou Song's performance is as stable as ever.
While reading the questions quickly, I extracted the important information from the questions in my mind and analyzed them at the same time.
After reading a question, Lou Song immediately had an idea.
From reading the questions, reviewing them, to answering them, Lou Song completed them all in one go without any sense of pause.
Although their styles are completely different, their speed is very close.
For a while, no one was able to pull away much from the other.
Although this is just a friendly exchange.
But both of them want to show their best.
Both of them took this test paper very seriously.
Finally, Xu You was almost done with the last question.
As for Lou Song, there are only a few steps left before he can finish writing.
When Xu You finished all the answers, he put down his pen.
This was the habit of the two when they were competing on questions before.
When the answer is finished, the sound of putting down the pen is used as a signal.
Almost at the same time, Lou Song also put down his pen, indicating that he had also finished answering the questions.
The two looked at each other, unable to tell who finished the paper first.
"It seems... our speeds are about the same this time."
"Yes, the sound of the pen dropping also overlaps, but the difference is probably only a few dozen milliseconds."
Because there was no video playback to rely on, the two could only roughly assume that the time they took to answer the questions was exactly the same this time.
But the same time does not mean that this competition will definitely be a draw.
What’s more important is the marking process.
The two of them exchanged test papers tacitly and marked each other's test papers .
Although neither of them had a standard answer.
But after just going through the questions once, they basically have the qualifications to mark the papers.
If you can determine that the other party's answer is correct, leave a check mark.
If you feel that there are doubts about the other party's answer, mark it first, and then debate with the other party whether points should be deducted.
Both of them were very rigorous and would not miss any areas that might result in deduction of points.
But when they both marked the papers, neither of them found any problems with the other.
“Although some of the solutions are different from mine, they are all completely correct.”
"The handwriting is a little sloppy , but it's legible. There are really no other problems."
Even though both of them were a little hurried while doing the questions in order to finish the paper faster.
But they all ensured their accuracy and did not make any mistakes.
Lou Song did not feel disappointed about the draw result, but seemed very happy instead.
"It may sound a bit narcissistic, but you are the first person I have ever met who can do the questions as fast as I can."
This is also the reason why Lou Song particularly likes to study with Xu You.
When I am with other people, I always feel superior and seem a little out of place.
But Xu You was able to give Lou Song a sense of intimacy, making him feel that he was not so special.
Faced with Lou Song's praise, Xu You felt a little embarrassed.
Xu You knew clearly that he had only managed to achieve the same test-solving speed as Lou Song by cheating.
But part of the reason is that the difficulty of the questions themselves is not exaggerated to the point of being abnormal.
If the questions were more difficult, even if Xu You cheated, he would probably still finish slower than Lou Song.
After coming out of the study room, Xu You was in a trance and had the same illusion as when he was auditing classes at Ji University.
It was as if he was going to go back to the doctoral dormitory with Lou Song.
But after all, they are already freshmen now, and after Xu You and Lou Song parted ways, they each returned to their own dormitories.
In Dormitory 208, Liu Rui and Zhao Xiaohui were playing games together.
However, Guo Haochen was sitting at his desk, studying something.
