Chapter 347 World Programming Competition, the little girl seems to be coming home?
Country M.
Science and Technology Museum.
It brought together computer gurus from all over the world and from different countries.
The scene was magnificent and grand.
"There are so many people."
Professor Tong, carrying his laptop bag, pushed up his thick reading glasses and looked around curiously.
"Many leading figures in the computer science field have come to participate." Professor Tong swallowed hard, looking nervous. "Xiao Pei, do you think we'll be eliminated in the first round?"
The competition consists of five rounds.
Based on the ranking of the preliminary round results, they were divided into different groups.
Each group consists of four participants.
Each group will use a combination of anonymous submissions and anonymous voting.
The entry with the most votes wins and advances to the second round against the winners from other groups.
And so on.
The fifth round of the competition will involve a vote to select three works, ultimately determining the champion, runner-up, and third-place winner.
"If I remember correctly, Professor Sun was eliminated in the third round of the last competition, right?" Professor Tong asked.
"Um?"
Pei Jinwu, wearing a black hoodie and a baseball cap, stood beside him with her hands in her pockets, raising an eyebrow slightly: "I misremembered, she was eliminated in the second round."
The fact that they were able to make it to the second round was also thanks to one of the participants in their group who suddenly withdrew due to illness.
otherwise--
Sun Laodeng'er also suffered a first-round exit.
"Is that so?"
Professor Tong scratched his face, looking worried, and said, "It's quite intense. I hope we can last a few more rounds."
"OK."
Pei Jinwu smiled slightly and said nothing more.
They hadn't walked more than a few steps.
They then bumped into Professor Sun.
"Old Tong," Professor Sun greeted him, adopting a condescending and self-important tone, "This is your first time participating in the World Programming Contest, so you must not know many of the rules. If you need anything, just ask me."
"No need, thank you,"
Professor Tong moved his lips and answered with a forced smile.
If you're trying to help out of kindness, just say no if there's anything you need to be careful about.
Do we need to wait for someone to ask us in a servile manner?
snort.
Fortunately, Xiao Pei had already told him all the precautions on the way here.
I felt so familiar with the programming competition venue; it was like coming home.
If you didn't know better, you'd think she had personally participated in the competition.
Tsk tsk.
The little girl must have done a lot of research.
"The participants are all top talents in the computer industry. It's not shameful to be eliminated in the first round."
Professor Sun crossed his arms and continued his sarcastic remarks.
"Oh," Professor Tong couldn't stand it anymore and immediately retorted, "Judging from your tone, you have the potential to bring glory to the country?"
"There are many outstanding individuals, and although my work is alright..."
Professor Sun wore a confident smile and said insincerely, "But we still need to keep a low profile."
He hired many top programmers, both domestic and international, to help him with this programming.
Both in terms of innovation and technology, it is at the forefront of the world.
Even if we don't win the championship, finishing in the top three is definitely not a problem.
I've heard about Professor Tong's programming projects...
hehe.
Did he figure it out all by himself in the lab?
Thinking they got lucky in the preliminary round and won first place, they deluded themselves into thinking they could also get a place in the final round.
Doesn't Professor Tong know his own level of expertise?
What good stuff can you make by hiding in a lab all day?!
only--
It would be a disgrace to the Chinese people to be eliminated in the first round.
Will he still have the nerve to return to teach at Imperial University then?
"..."
Professor Tong smiled but said nothing, and then led Pei Jinwu aside under the pretext of doing so.
soon.
The audience was filled with computer programming enthusiasts.
Sitting on the stage are programming gurus (judges) from all over the world who have won numerous awards.
at the same time.
The participants were also drawn into different groups.
In each round of the competition, participants must demonstrate their programming skills.
If you want to be featured until the end, you need to find the right balance in how much you showcase.
Without revealing the core points in advance, you can still showcase your strengths and defeat your teammates.
Fifteen minutes later.
The competition has officially begun.
Professor Tong carefully inserted the USB drive into the port, opened the folder, and found his programming.
Operation, playback, display...
Completed in one go.
Professor Tong did a perfect job with this program.
Each stage of the presentation was innovative, quickly captivating the judges.
"call."
After the presentations, the judges began voting.
Within the same group.
Professor Tong's work received the most votes.
only--
To ensure fairness in the competition, anonymous submissions will be accepted.
The audience only knows which works advanced, but not who the authors are.
unless--
The work ranked low and was eliminated.
at the same time.
Professor Sun also finished displaying his work and waited confidently for the voting results.
But when the results came out, his expression changed drastically.
What happened?
His votes were surprisingly at the bottom of the group!
Does this mean he will be eliminated in the first round?
impossible.
"Hello, your work is ranked last and you will not be able to advance to the next round."
A staff member stepped forward with a polite smile: "Please take your artwork and leave the small room now."
"impossible."
Professor Sun was unconvinced and said coldly, "My work is perfect. It's impossible that it didn't even pass the first round. Could it be that the votes weren't counted completely?"
“If you don’t leave, we’ll have to call security.”
The staff member rolled their eyes at the ceiling and impatiently offered a reminder.
Every year there are these arrogant contestants; the security guards are used to dragging them away.
"..."
Seeing the security guard approach, Professor Sun reluctantly got up, picked up his laptop bag, and walked out dejectedly.
In the lobby.
It is a gathering place for all the eliminated contestants.
Professor Sun searched carefully but could not find Professor Tong.
He then spotted Pei Jinwu, who was sitting with his legs crossed, staring at him: "Oh, Professor Sun, why did you come out early?"
"..."
Professor Sun glared at Pei Jinwu, then immediately looked away, her face turning red to her neck.
In a moment of confusion.
The sound of the start of the second round of the competition rang out.
Professor Tong has been confirmed to have advanced.
Professor Sun's mind went blank; this was his worst result since he started competing.
Professor Tong, who was from the same country as him, progressed to the later stages...
If people in China and students at Imperial University find out about this, won't they lose face?
Thinking about this...
Professor Sun slumped into his seat and numbly took out his phone.
The moment the computer boots up.
A huge news section popped up.
In the World Programming Contest, one person advanced to the second round, while another was eliminated in the first round.
Below the title.
Professor Sun's face was marked with a huge "out" sign.
The number of comments under the news article has exceeded 10,000 and is still increasing rapidly.
Professor Sun clicked on the comments with trembling hands:
"Huh? Professor Sun was eliminated in the first round? What a surprise?"
"Don't be surprised. He's never been a hot favorite. Every year he participates with a lot of fanfare, making people think he's amazing, but his best result is only the second round."
"I've never heard of the professor who made it to the finals?"
"Replying to the comment above, both of you are professors from Imperial University. Professor Tong, who made it to the second round, was also the preliminary champion."
"A dark horse!"
"Looking forward to Professor Tong's performance. Go Professor Tong!"
"..."
Seeing the entire comment section cheering for Professor Tong and mocking him, Professor Sun's hands trembled violently.
Who spent money to create this news push?
So what's there to cheer about just making it to the second round?
If you're so capable, why don't you get on a three-wheeler?
Just then.
The host's voice rang out, beginning to announce the list of those who had advanced to the third round...
——
good evening.
