Chapter 348 Little Sister Wu, do you want to capture Alliance Leader S alive?

"???"

On the scrolling large screen, Professor Sun saw Professor Tong's name accurately.

he……

They won two consecutive rounds and advanced to the third round.

Professor Tong's level is average, how could he possibly surpass him?

at this time.

News of Professor Tong breaking the record and entering the final three rounds spread throughout the country.

"impossible."

Professor Sun gripped his phone tightly, his eyes gradually turning cold, and muttered to himself, "It must be good luck. Maybe he'll be eliminated in the third round."

That's right.

He was just waiting for Professor Sun to be eliminated in the third round.

Is she planning to steal his thunder and become famous?

Don't even think about it!

——

The third round of the competition ended quickly.

The list of those who advanced has been announced.

Professor Sun craned his neck to look, but instead saw Professor Tong's name.

Advancement again?

Does he have the ability to program the code that will advance him to the top three rounds?

In programming competitions, those who make it to the third round are generally quite skilled.

Those who emerge from the third round are not to be underestimated.

What kind of programming did Professor Tong actually do?

Professor Sun sat there, staring intently at the large screen, his back teeth practically grinding to powder.

at the same time.

In a corner of the audience, Pei Jinwu was chatting with Lou Ying on her phone.

Lou Ying said that the S Alliance members had quietly landed on the island.

They not only brought many skilled workers, but also secretly brought two large ships full of cargo, presumably to deal with the guys in the underground city.

Lou Ying: "The old man is quite well prepared, but our dungeon isn't to be underestimated either."

Pei Jinwu glanced at the list of those who advanced, then looked away and slowly typed, "It's not enough to just bring them; they also need to be useful."

Lou Ying: "?"

Pei Jinwu: "What if a fire suddenly breaks out tomorrow and everything burns down?"

Lou Ying: "It has to be you again, Little Sister Wu. You want to capture Alliance Leader S alive, don't you?"

Pei Jinwu twitched the corners of her mouth, her smile devoid of warmth: "At least we should see what the culprit who hit me on the head looks like."

Lou Ying: "Alright, once we catch someone, we'll make him your slave."

——

The fourth round of the competition.

Only eight contestants remain.

Five teams need to be eliminated in this round, and the champion, runner-up and third place will be determined from the remaining three.

To ensure fairness and impartiality, the programming demonstrations in the final two rounds of the competition will be conducted in a public manner.

The programming videos of the eight participants will be played simultaneously on the big screen.

Those in the know can tell which is better or worse at a glance.

After the match began.

Eight contestants simultaneously played their programming projects.

"Whoosh—"

As expected of works that made it to the final round of selection, each one was a pleasant surprise.

Especially the work on the far left, titled "Glimmer," after the demo program is run, the programming begins to decompress itself.

For example:

It's like people looking at a world map on their phones and discovering that the world is just a two-dimensional plane.

If you keep clicking on a certain location, the map will gradually zoom in, zoom in, and zoom in...

Finally, we can view the microscopic world from a macroscopic perspective.

In short: a tiny model house that encompasses all the countries, mountains, and rivers of the world...

Everything that exists on Earth has been compressed into a small model by highly skilled programmers.

Once the artwork is decompressed, this small model will continuously release and display the compressed contents one by one.

As the performance continued to de-stress, gasps of surprise rang out from the audience.

You need to know.

The competition rules stipulate that entries must not exceed 64kb.

A single photograph can be as large as 100kb of code.

They wanted to know how much could be derived from this work after it was decompressed.

Just as everyone was enjoying the show, the work abruptly ended.

Everyone: ? ? ?

This is only the fourth round, which means there's still suspense surrounding the participants.

They want to see it!

Of course, the judges want to see it too!

The entries in recent years have been somewhat conventional and lack originality.

This "Glimmer" is quite creative and has generated a lot of anticipation.

final.

"Glimmer" advanced to the final round by winning the most votes.

The five eliminated contestants left the competition venue one by one.

Professor Sun was now completely disheartened, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Professor Tong still hasn't come out.

This means he has made it into the competition for the top three.

Even if he only wins third place, such an honor would be enough to make him a big star in China's computer circle.

In this way...

Shouldn't his position as head of the computer science department be given to someone surnamed Tong?

Professor Sun swallowed hard, feeling somewhat flustered.

...

The competition has entered its final round.

Pei Jinwu put down her phone and stared intently at the big screen.

The requirements become increasingly higher as programming projects progress.

If you're not careful, all your efforts will be in vain.

now.

Most of the audience's attention was focused on the artwork "Glimmer".

After the artwork flashed with dazzling light, the tiny fragments quickly gathered in the center, revealing a distorted sci-fi face to the audience.

"???"

Just as everyone was wondering why the playback had stopped, the formed human face suddenly exploded...

Countless tiny dots spread outwards from the screen...

Each dot then begins to display different data, with billions of dots being processed simultaneously...

"Wow--"

Exclamations of admiration rang out again, and the judges stared in disbelief at the scene before them, their mouths agape.

This production method looks familiar...

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before?

Two minutes later.

After all the performances have finished playing, we will proceed to the voting stage.

When compiling scores.

A heated discussion broke out at the scene, with "Glimmer" receiving the most attention.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence can see that "Glimmer" far surpasses all other works.

Professor Tong spent five years researching, turning his hair white and looking like an old man.

It's worth it.

A few minutes later.

The host appeared on stage and began announcing the results.

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

Pei Jinwu wasn't nervous at all. She calmly took out a candy and put it in her mouth, but her expression was a little serious.

If that foreigner dares to cheat, she'll blow this place up in a minute.

Results announced.

With its significant advantages, "Glimmer" firmly holds the top spot.

Pei Jinwu raised her eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile curved her lips.

good.

As expected.

After the results were announced, everyone was even more curious about who the author was.

Most of the people present were Westerners, who had an inherent sense of superiority and believed that only Western experts could have created such impressive programming.

"The champions of previous programming competitions were all from the United States, so there shouldn't be any surprises this time."

"I heard there was a Chinese person in the top three this time, I guess he's the third place winner."

"His work is outdated, all about showing off technique, no innovation, and it's vulgar."

"The fact that the Chinese made it to the finals is already a favor from the committee. If you ask me, they should be banned next year."

"The 'Glimmer' from the US is still the best, the undisputed champion."

"..."

Pei Jinwu sat beside him, arms crossed, legs crossed, a mocking smile on his lips.

"The rankings will now be announced—"
