After Song Chu and Gu Yue finished, they returned to their seats and sat down. They were not allowed to get up and walk around, and they were not allowed to talk to others to prevent them from reminding their teammates.
The three people who were in a group of two had mixed feelings at this time. They felt happy and excited, but also shocked.
They had always felt that there was a gap between them and Song Chu, but it should not be too big. But now the facts tell them that the gap is not small, but too big.
Although the three were hit hard, they also gained some fighting spirit. The more this happened, the more they couldn't fall behind. Otherwise, if they couldn't get 18 points, they would definitely be scolded by the audience.
The three of them quickly put aside their other thoughts and nervousness and began to search quickly.
Because Song Chu and Gu Yue took a particularly short time, although they felt that they could not fall behind, the tension was not as strong as at the beginning. After all, they had a guarantee.
Students from other schools became more anxious, especially the dozen or so geniuses who were already famous in their respective schools.
They found it a little hard to accept losing to Song Chu and Gu Yue. After all, in their impression, this was a place where everything was backward.
Especially after coming here, their sense of superiority has become even stronger.
After Song Chu and Gu Yue completed the task, a third person also completed it. He was a famous mathematical genius from a prestigious school. He had previously joined the laboratory to do research and was a very capable person.
However, his time was longer than that of Song Chu and the other two combined, a total of 26 minutes and 57 seconds.
This speed would have been almost a record in the past. The five referees had done experiments before, and the fastest one took about 30 minutes to complete.
But compared with Song Chu and Gu Yue, the difference was too great. This genius did not feel happy at all and returned to his seat with a gloomy face.
Looking at Song Chu and the other man, his eyes were full of fighting spirit and determination. This was not what he was best at, but he would definitely not lose to them next time.
Later, other people completed the work, but there were some errors and they were constantly revised.
The fourth place took more than thirty minutes, and the ones behind were even slower.
The other three people in Song Chu's group stood out from a selection and assessment of tens of thousands of people, so naturally they couldn't be bad.
It took about forty to fifty minutes to find the complete blocks and construct a painting.
Of course, the group that the third-place genius belonged to was the first to finish among all the groups. Even a dozen groups ahead of them were the first to complete the race, but in the end, it was Song Chu and her group that took the shortest time.
It was really because Song Chu and Gu Yue took too short a time and were too powerful. They shortened the gap between the other three and the other groups. There was no comparison at all.
So it’s not unfair for everyone to lose, it’s because these two were so fast.
The students did not move on to the next round immediately after this competition. After all, they had used a lot of their brainpower and consumed a lot of physical energy.
So we took a two-hour break and everyone had a rest and some takeout food.
Special plates were prepared for everyone here, making it a small buffet. This was also the inspiration the Ministry of Education drew from when they had dinner in Song Chu's private laboratory last time.
There are rice, vegetables, fruits, pastries, as well as some steaks, pizzas, etc., to facilitate meals for teachers and students from other countries.
Song Chu and the other four took their plates, put the food on them, and went to an empty table to eat.
Zhou Weidong gave them a thumbs up, "You two are amazing, especially in the second round, the speed was incredible!"
His performance was considered good among the other three, forty-nine minutes, which was ranked in the middle among all people, but compared with these two, he was completely ashamed.
Shen Juan smiled and said, "Yes, when I heard the rules, I was so nervous that my mind went blank. I was also so nervous when I looked at the tiles that I forgot a lot. Later, when I heard that you two had finished, I relaxed a lot, and that's why I didn't count down to finish."
She was telling the truth. She was really nervous at the time and was worried that she wouldn't be able to find it. But when they found out that Song Chu and Gu Yue had finished so quickly, their pressure was greatly reduced and they performed beyond expectations.
Otherwise, given their initial state, they might have been ranked last few.
Chen Yongqiang agreed and said, "Yes, you guys are really fierce. I was not so nervous until I heard you guys finished."
Just by watching, you may not be able to understand how difficult the questions are. Only when they experience them personally can they understand it deeply.
Song Chu smiled and said, "You are in good shape and performance today. As long as we keep going, we will have no problem getting first place in the end."
Chen Yongqiang and the other two: "..." She really dared to think that these were only the second round, and there were still seven rounds to come.
Before they came to participate in the competition, their goal was to enter the top ten, but now Song Chu told them that it is possible to take first place.
"Can we really do it? It seems like many of the school's geniuses haven't yet shown what they're good at." He asked uncertainly.
Song Chu said confidently: "Why not? We are also geniuses in various schools, and we haven't encountered any projects that we are better at yet. What are we afraid of?"
"We have to take first place, otherwise it's meaningless, you guys should be mentally prepared."
It is normal to give the three of them appropriate comfort to reduce tension, but pressure must also be applied, otherwise they will fall behind if they are too relaxed.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. I think you all want to be generals," she added.
Chen Yongqiang and the other two: "..."
It turns out that Song Chu is not just thinking about it, he really looks like he is going to take first place, and his tone is very loud and courageous.
But you know what, they couldn't help but get excited when they thought about their group getting first place.
This competition will be broadcast on TV. When the people across the country and their families see it, they will feel particularly honored and proud to win first place for their country.
"Then let's give it our all?" Zhou Weidong swallowed.
Song Chu nodded as a matter of course, "Our goal is to be the first, so of course we have to work hard."
"Okay, let's try it." The passion of the three was aroused.
This was also the reason why they crushed their opponents and won first place in two rounds of competition, otherwise they would not have dared to think about it.
After dinner, while others were chatting or walking around nervously, Song Chu and Gu Yue ran to the lounge to close their eyes and sleep.
Soon, two hours passed and all the participating students returned to the competition venue.
Some people in the audience seats did not leave, and those who had left have now all sat back down, with smiles and anticipation on everyone's faces.
Today is the last round. Even if Song Chu and the others are at the bottom, they should be able to get tickets for tomorrow's competition. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
