After Zhang Yuan fled in a panic, the chief examiner reiterated to the remaining four interviewees: "We reiterate, there is no room for falsehood here. We will rigorously verify each of your statements. If there is any inaccuracy, the consequences will be unbearable. Now, does anyone still wish to withdraw?"
Although the interviewer's voice was not loud, it was full of undeniable power, as if it could penetrate the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
None of them objected.
"Very good." The lead interviewer nodded slightly, then changed the subject, "Next, you will enter the practical phase. In this phase, we will set up a series of VR simulation scenarios based on your respective professional fields to test your practical coping abilities and teamwork spirit. Remember, in the post-apocalyptic world, theory and practice are equally important, and teamwork and trust are key to our survival."
As the interviewer finished speaking, the wall on one side of the room slowly opened, revealing the next room, which contained a high-tech virtual reality device.
The device flashed a cold blue light, as if it were a gateway to an unknown world.
Inside the room, there was only one interviewer and four fully armed militiamen.
Chen Yu and his group entered the room, and the door closed.
When Li Jiandong, Liu Menghan, and Lin Hua entered the room and saw the device, they were all slightly surprised. In this apocalyptic extreme environment, Tianyu Base was actually equipped with such advanced high-tech equipment. Moreover, they had never seen such equipment on the market before the disaster. Its design was ingenious, its functions were powerful, and it revealed a sense of technology that was ahead of its time. Judging from the logo on the machine, they guessed that the device was likely developed by themselves.
This made them take notice of the technological strength and R&D capabilities behind Tianyu Base.
Their guess was correct; these VR devices were indeed the top-notch achievements independently developed by the Tianyu Base research team.
It's worth noting that Tianyu Base is home to a group of top scientists from Great Xia, as well as legendary figures in the tech world like Elon Musk. In recent months, Musk, having nothing to do, gathered a group of equally idle scientists to create some entertainment-related products, among which virtual reality equipment is one of the more mature ones.
The reason why VR devices are so mature is that we are now in an extremely cold post-apocalyptic world with harsh external environments and a lack of entertainment activities. Therefore, Niu Ke and his team turned their attention to the development of virtual reality, aiming to provide the residents and members of Tianyu Base with a safe way of entertainment and training that can stimulate their potential and enhance teamwork.
With the help of Tianyu AI at the Tianyu Base headquarters, these VR devices not only simulate extreme survival environments, but also incorporate various educational and training elements, as well as some adventure stories adapted from the history and culture of the Great Xia Dynasty, allowing users to learn knowledge and experience the fun of teamwork while experiencing them.
Chen Yu specially arranged for more than ten units to be transported from the Tianyu base headquarters to test the comprehensive abilities of the candidates from the branch bases.
At the interviewer's prompting, Li Jiandong was the first to step forward for the test.
Based on his previous self-introduction, the virtual reality system automatically matched him with a VR simulation scenario of food processing and storage. As he put on the specially designed VR headset, the entire room seemed to be instantly transformed into a modern food processing workshop, with the aroma of fresh ingredients filling the air, and highly automated production lines and sophisticated storage facilities all around.
Li Jiandong took a deep breath and quickly got into focus. In this scenario, he faced a sudden food shortage crisis and needed to efficiently utilize existing resources, improve food processing efficiency, and ensure the safe storage of food within a limited time to meet the growing needs of the base's population.
He first inspected the equipment on the production line, quickly identifying potential problems using his expertise and immediately initiating adjustments and optimizations. Simultaneously, he communicated with other virtual characters (representing team members) through the VR system's communication devices, assigning tasks and ensuring everyone could maximize their effectiveness at critical moments.
…………
Five minutes later, Li Jiandong finished the test.
The system automatically scored him: Name: Li Jiandong, Skills Score: 81, Teamwork Score: 76, Overall Score: 78.5.
Next up was Chen Yu. In order to conceal his identity, his self-introduction was completely fabricated. He claimed to be a farmer, which was pure nonsense.
However, the system couldn't distinguish between reality and fiction; it could only randomly generate an agricultural-related VR simulation scenario for him based on his self-introduction. When Chen Yu put on the VR headset, he was instantly transported to a vast, sunny farmland filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
…………
After Chen Yu finished the test, he also received the system's score: Name: Chen Ergou, Skill Score: 63, Teamwork Score: 89, Overall Score: 76.
Seeing that Chen Yu's skill score was so low, Li Jiandong couldn't help but sneer. However, since he had already been criticized once for mocking Chen Yu on the spot, he did not openly ridicule Chen Yu this time.
Little did people know that Chen Yu's identity as a farmer was a complete fabrication, and his overall score of 76 was already quite good. Li Jiandong, on the other hand, claimed to have over 20 years of work experience, yet he only managed to score 78.5. It's unclear where he got the audacity to mock Chen Yu.
Liu Menghan, who identified herself as a PhD student in molecular and cell biology at Haha University, was presented with a complex biological laboratory scene by a virtual reality system. As she donned the VR headset, she felt transported to a high-tech laboratory filled with sophisticated microscopes, centrifuges, and various familiar experimental equipment. The faint smell of disinfectant in the air instantly immersed her in the atmosphere of scientific research.
…………
Name: Liu Menghan, Skills Score: 97, Teamwork Score: 93, Overall Score: 95.
After the test, Liu Menghan complained to Chen Yu with some frustration, "What a pity! If I had been matched with a scenario in the field of gene editing, which I am more proficient in, I would definitely be confident of getting a perfect score!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu couldn't help but chuckle. Was Liu Menghan showing off to him?
Liu Menghan seemed to realize that Chen Yu's score was really too low, and that what she said now was inappropriate. So she quickly apologized to Chen Yu: "I'm sorry, Brother Er Gou, I didn't mean to discourage you. I was just... a little excited. After all, these devices are really advanced. If I could test in my area of expertise, I think I could do better."
Chen Yu waved his hand, his smile showing understanding and tolerance.
At this point, he became increasingly interested in Liu Menghan. Her ability to score 97 points in the skills category was enough to demonstrate her profound professional competence in her field.
Chen Yu thought to himself that if such a high-achieving student could join the team, it would undoubtedly be a great help to the development of Tianyu Base.
Moreover, she claims that her main expertise lies in the field of gene editing. If she could become Yang Yue's assistant, could Yang Yue's research on "telomerase regulation technology" be further advanced and become a promising breakthrough?
However, whether Liu Menghan's character meets the requirements remains to be seen.
