In the last century, China's technology has always lagged behind the world and cannot be compared with some developed countries.
The same is true in academics.
Therefore, many people go abroad for further studies and then return home after completing their studies.
However, after entering the 21st century, China's comprehensive national strength has grown rapidly, especially in terms of human resources.
Last year, in all international mathematics, biology, chemistry and informatics competitions, student teams sent by China won gold medals and ranked first in the overall group score.
But except for Teng Yunmeng and three others, the other award-winning students have already entered university and can no longer participate in ISC.
Especially on the first day of the ISC overall ranking, the first place in the Chinese division was in the top ten of the overall ranking.
This made people in other countries who had once been suppressed become restless.
There are many disgusting comments on the Internet.
[As I said, ISC not only tests theory, but also practical ability. Today, my cousin even picked a simulation experiment question. The students in China are really far behind us in practice. 】
[Do you know who is number one on the overall list?] Elan College recruited a genius this year. With her here, there’s no way anyone else will get the first place. 】
[I remember that the leaders of China who won gold medals last year all went to university, right? Tsk tsk, what a pity, it seems that this batch of high school students in China is not good enough. 】
[Don't even mention whether we can achieve greater success again, it's even more of a question of whether we can embarrass ourselves. Let me ask you, if the organizing committee hadn't allocated the quota, how many people from China could have made it to the ISC finals based on their own abilities? [Smile]】
No one can tolerate this kind of world-class provocation.
Although most people in China cannot access the Internet, there are many Chinese people living abroad.
The external Internet has been discussing this matter very actively, with most people praising it and criticizing it.
Soon, the grumpy old man spoke.
【grass! You are a bunch of idiots who are just making sarcastic remarks. I don't even bother to argue with you in your country's language. Just wait, within three days, not to mention the top three in the overall ranking, even the number one in the overall ranking will definitely be replaced! 】
But the comment was quickly drowned out by a slew of mocking comments.
There was no movement in China at first, until these comments on the foreign Internet were screenshoted and posted on Weibo.
Some people echoed the negative comments from the outside world, while others climbed over the firewall and went online to fight.
The popularity of isc has reached an unprecedented high in this provocation.
Even people who don’t pay attention to academics know that there is such an international academic competition.
In just one night, the number of applicants for the China ISC division reached a terrifying 900,000.
This number is greater than that of several major European countries combined.
There has never been another international competition with so many people signing up.
It’s just that ISC limits the participation to high school students, otherwise the number of people would be even greater.
——
The next day.
During breakfast in the morning, people in the training camp were also discussing this matter.
"I'm so pissed." Teng Yunmeng was very angry. "Feng Yue, we signed up for the trials now, isn't it just the top three in the overall ranking? Why can't we get it?"
She spent an hour reading Weibo comments yesterday and was almost mad to the point of going bald.
"Mengmeng, calm down." Feng Yue was also very angry. He lowered his voice and said, "We really don't have the energy to participate in the trials. Our goal is to participate in the international competition."
"After all, we are not like Elan College and other foreign high schools. They have a lot of candidates and can send special students to participate in the trials. We don't have that."
Teng Yunmeng fell silent.
She couldn't refute this.
Although China currently ranks among the best in the world in academics, top talents are very rare.
Like Elan School, they have 10 direct places for the ISC international competition, but there are still five or six top students left.
These top students did not get direct places in the international competition, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have the ability to win. It’s just that there are too few places.
Their strength is only slightly weaker than Teng Yunmeng and Feng Yue.
Elan College let these remaining top students go to the trials, clearly to defeat everyone else.
"Mengmeng, don't be impatient." Feng Yue snorted coldly, "It's just a qualifying competition. We'll see you at the international finals next year. Let them know how powerful China is."
With Feng Yue and Teng Yunmeng's abilities, it is uncertain whether they can get first place if they participate in the trials, but top five is a sure thing.
"But the one from country Y who got first place in the overall ranking is really amazing." Feng Yue opened Weibo and checked the current overall ranking. "Mengmeng, we have also done similar questions. I don't think I can get so many points on the first day."
The current score for the top spot in the overall ranking is as follows:
No.1: Amanda, 134 points
"With this score, she should be able to go straight to the international competition." Teng Yunmeng drank hot juice and frowned, "It seems that this time the opponent is stronger than we thought."
As she spoke, she looked up and saw the girl yawning and walking towards her.
Teng Yunmeng waved her hand: "Zijin, this way."
Ying Zijin walked over slowly, holding a glass of milk, still yawning, so sleepy that even his long eyelashes were stained with dew, making him look hazy.
She saw that Teng Yunmeng looked unhappy: "What's wrong?"
Teng Yunmeng didn't say anything, and sighed: "Nothing, I just lost a lot of hair."
The members of their group who are responsible for both appearance and intelligence will definitely not participate in the selection competition.
But what Feng Yue said was right, the trials were nothing, and the international finals next year would be the time to see who was better.
——
The other side.
Xiu Yan calmly withdrew his gaze and frowned slightly.
She had been observing Ying Zijin for a few days.
That day, after being called up by Teacher Meng, Ying Zijin did a question.
Usually, any group assignments were completed by Feng Yue and Teng Yunmeng, while Ying Zijin watched from the side.
This situation made Xiu Yan have to doubt that, just as his resume indicated, Ying Zijin was only smart occasionally.
She no longer took Ying Zijin to heart.
But the TV series "Accept the Punishment of the God of Study!" produced by the General Television Station 》In this show, her limelight was indeed completely overshadowed by Ying Zijin, and she even attracted a small number of haters.
Xiuyan took a sip of porridge and frowned even more tightly.
The girl next to her who was from the same school as her tugged at her sleeve and asked, "Yanyan, what's your current score?"
They both attended the Wende School for Aristocrats, where the annual tuition was several hundred thousand, not including the cost of school uniforms.
The students who are able to enter are either rich or noble.
But this doesn't mean that they are bad at studying.
Mu Yuxi is also in this school, and ranked ninth in the city in this year's high school entrance examination.
The girl and Xiuyan were both sent by Wende Noble School to participate in training. They did not get direct access to the international competition and had to do the exercises.
Xiu Yan's smile faded, and she said lightly: "I was too busy yesterday, I didn't even finish the ten basic questions."
In fact, she only did the basic questions and got one wrong, so she got a total of nine points.
The difficulty of the basic questions is far from that of the competition, which is about the same difficulty as the regular mock exams of key high schools. It is not difficult for Xiuyan.
It’s just that she postponed the announcement for a month, and other members of the group had to stop working as well.
"Youth 101" auditioned 100 people, and finally nine people formed a group.
The name of the group is Youth Era.
But a while ago, because Luo Ziyue, who ranked ninth, was suspected of serious plagiarism and also dragged down international film queen Xie Manyu, the reputation of Youth Generation was greatly damaged.
Youth Era asked Luo Ziyue to leave the group, and now there are only eight people.
Xiuyan had known for a long time that the main TV station was going to produce a program, so she came here in order to increase her own popularity.
She is a star and also a top student.
People have always been visual animals and will pay attention to beautiful things.
The only thing Xiuyan didn't expect was Ying Zijin.
She finished her porridge and wiped her mouth: "I won't go out with you guys tomorrow. I'm going to the Chinese Calligraphy Artists Association."
When the girl heard this, she felt envious: "Yanyan, you are really amazing. You study well, look good, and your calligraphy is also so good."
Xiuyan said nothing and went out with the plate.
——
The Chinese Calligraphy Artists Association is just across the street from the old campus of Imperial Capital University.
On weekends, the China Calligraphy Artists Association will display some calligraphy and paintings for tourists to appreciate.
Ying Zijin arrived at ten o'clock in the morning. She followed Sheng Qingtang to get her ID card from the current president of the association.
Sheng Qingtang gave her a director position and told her she didn't have to work.
If you are interested and have time, you can come here to give guidance to newcomers.
"Little miracle doctor, I finally got you to our association." Sheng Qingtang was very proud. "It must have pissed off that bastard Berg and that old woman Zhuo Lanhan."
Across the road, Xiu Yan, who was walking towards the door, suddenly stopped and looked up abruptly.
