Chen Zhou, who returned to his seat, instantly felt that his combat effectiveness had improved.

Pick up the pen and write with a brush.

It doesn't matter if it's a small 150-word essay or a big 250-word essay.

Chen Zhou wrote straight until he was satisfied.

When you're done, slowly put down your pen.

Chen Zhou looked at his two essays in one go, and smiled slightly: "The style is still the same!"

After 60 minutes, the writing test was over, and Chen Zhou handed in the answer book and answer sheet.

The written test of the entire Yato exam is over.

In addition to the written test, which has a fixed time each week, there is a final item for the Yato exam, which is the speaking test.

There is no fixed time for the speaking test, as long as it is written during the week, you can take the test at any time.

Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi naturally put the written and oral exams on the same day.

It also saves two people an extra trip.

The speaking exam starts at 1 p.m. and is a bit tight.

So, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi had a simple lunch near the examination room, and then went to the examination room and waited for the oral examination to begin.

Because at the time of the written test, the information has already been recorded.

During the oral examination, Chen Zhou and the others also saved the trouble of logging in their ID card information again.

Following the instructor of the examination room, Chen Zhou came to the examination room of the Yato oral examination.

Chen Zhou found that the examiner was waiting for him at the door.

With a simple inquiry and greeting, Chen Zhou followed the examiner into the examination room.

Once seated, the examiner turns on the recorder and starts recording.

Then he looked at Chen Zhou with a smile and asked in a friendly manner, "Are you ready?"

Chen Zhou smiled and nodded.

The speaking test has officially begun.

The oral examination is divided into three parts.

The first part is a question and answer.

The examiner asked, and Chen Zhou answered.

It's a very ordinary conversation.

Chen Zhou naturally didn't do anything to extend, and answered the question honestly.

The second part is about the topic introduction.

The examiner handed Chen Zhou a question board, a piece of paper and a pen.

Chen Zhou needs to introduce the topic for no more than 2 minutes.

Of course, there will be 1 minute to prepare before the introduction.

During this 1-minute preparation time, the examiner will not interfere at all.

The examiner will not remind you until the end of 1 minute.

Chen Zhou looked at the topic on the question board with interest, is this a deliberate gift?

What the examiner asked him to introduce was actually a math game!

Chen Zhou spent about 30 seconds, organized the language a little, and without waiting for the examiner's reminder, he took the initiative and politely told the examiner that he was ready.

This examiner was probably the first time to see such a fast candidate, and he was slightly surprised, but then motioned for Chen Zhou to start elaborating freely.

Chen Zhou immediately said: "Math game, the most interesting thing I can think of is probably the hail conjecture, a positive integer, if it is an odd number, multiply it by 3 and add 1, if it is an even number, precipitate the even factor 2 to the Nth power, so that after several times, it finally returns to 1 ......."

Chen Zhou quickly introduced the relevant content of the hail conjecture, and he threw out the history of the hail conjecture, the powerful number 27, and some follow-up research.

The examiner was stunned and even ignored the time of the exam.

Finally, Chen Zhou felt that he couldn't say too much, in case the examiner couldn't understand, how embarrassing it would be.

Therefore, in order to take care of the examiner, Chen Zhou took the initiative to start wrapping up and gradually ended the topic.

Chen Zhou waited for a while before the examiner said, "Are you a student studying mathematics?"

As he spoke, he put the board and pen and paper back.

In fact, this is the third part of the oral exam.

This part is generally a comprehensive discussion.

The main form is also a question and answer.

However, due to Chen Zhou's amazing performance in the second part, the examiner didn't think about how to communicate with Chen Zhou about this mathematical game, or hail conjecture.

Although Hail guesses, he has also heard of and played this math game.

But what Chen Zhou just explained is too professional, he is not a mathematics major, and it is really difficult to communicate.

It would be even more embarrassing if some common-sense issues were exposed.

Therefore, the examiner chose to chat about household things first, and then ask random questions.

If you can communicate, you can communicate.

If you can't communicate, you can skip it directly to Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou naturally didn't know what the examiner in front of him was thinking, he nodded lightly: "Yes, I am a student of the mathematics department. ”

Hearing Chen Zhou's words, the examiner thought no wonder, and only hated himself for taking the wrong question board.

After thinking about it, he asked again: "Did you come to take IELTS because you want to study abroad?"

Chen Zhou shook his head and said, "No, I'm still in my freshman year." ”

The examiner asked with some disbelief, "You only started studying the hail conjecture when you were a freshman?"

"Yes, it's currently being studied. After speaking, Chen Zhou said with a little regret, "It's just a pity that the progress of research is very slow." ”

Hearing this, the examiner breathed a sigh of relief, and then he comforted: "Mathematical problems are already very difficult, not to mention, this is a problem that even Professor Tao says is difficult, and it is normal for progress to be slow." ”

Chen Zhou glanced at this examiner with some surprise, this person actually knew Tao Zhexuan?

So, Chen Zhou brought the topic to Tao Zhexuan, and talked about some of Tao Zhexuan's research results that he knew with the examiner in front of him.

It's just that most of it is Chen Zhou talking and the examiner listening.

Occasionally, the examiner would respond with a sentence such as Tao is a genius and he is a Fields Medal winner.

Often at this time, Chen Zhou would look at the examiner in front of him with a smile, this person could be regarded as knowing Tao Zhexuan's life.

What Chen Zhou didn't expect was that he actually knew that Tao Zhexuan had won the Fields Medal for his contributions to partial differential equations, combinatorics, harmonic analysis, and stacked number theory.

But if you think about it carefully, a genius and all-rounder like Tao Zhexuan can be known to the world, and Chen Zhou doesn't think it's so strange.

The two chatted like this, and it wasn't until the staff took the initiative to knock on the door to remind that the examiner noticed the time problem.

He actually chatted with the young man in front of him for nearly half an hour.

Normally, the entire speaking test lasts 10-15 minutes, and the maximum is 20 minutes.

Chen Zhou and the examiner looked at each other and smiled.

The examiner looked at the young man in front of him and gave a thumbs up: "You are the most solid student in mathematics among the college students I have ever met!"

"Thank you. Chen Zhou replied politely.

Subsequently, the examiner said that the oral examination was over and Chen Zhou could leave.

Chen Zhou greeted politely again and walked out of the room.

Looking at the back of Chen Zhou walking out of the room, the examiner turned off the recorder and said silently: "Good luck, the world of mathematics also needs good luck!"

With the end of the oral exam, Chen Zhou's Yato exam this time is over.

Chen Zhou found Yang Yiyi, who was waiting outside the examination room, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I talked to the examiner for a while." ”

Yang Yiyi glanced at Chen Zhou and asked strangely, "What are you talking about?"

Chen Zhou said: "Hail conjecture and Tao Zhexuan. ”

Yang Yiyi smiled: "Isn't it?

Chen Zhou also said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there would be the topic of math games." As soon as I saw this board, I immediately thought of the hail conjecture. I thought that when I said so much technical jargon in mathematics, the examiner would interrupt me at any time. As a result, I didn't expect that this examiner was also a math enthusiast, and he talked to me about Tao Zhexuan later, don't you know......"

Chen Zhou told Yang Yiyi about the oral examination process again.

After listening to this, Yang Yiyi looked at Chen Zhou strangely again: "Why do I think that the examiner is confused?"

Hearing this, Chen Zhou was slightly stunned, and then said: "Probably not, let me say something, he can occasionally pick it up." ”

Yang Yiyi looked at Chen Zhou and stopped talking, only feeling that he could make the examiner confused, and it was estimated that this was the first person......

It takes 10 working days, or two weeks, for the results of the Jarto exam.

But this is naturally not a matter for Chen Zhou.

He and Yang Yiyi returned to school and went straight to the study room.

There must be no place for this library, so it can only be hung up from the study room.

Finding a seat and sitting down, Chen Zhou took out the wrong question book and flipped through it.

Yato scored 9 points overall.

Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking are scored independently, and the final score is the average of the four scores.

On the set of mistakes, it's clean.

Chen Zhou didn't see a single wrong question about this Yato exam.

Although this does not mean that it is necessarily a perfect score, because writing is not recorded, and speaking, it should also not be recorded.

However, Chen Zhou personally feels that as the best play in writing and speaking.

It shouldn't go wrong, and there is a high probability that it will still be a full score.

Of course, even if there is no perfect score, Chen Zhou doesn't care.

After all, that's pretty much it.

Get a perfect score and no extra rewards.

Flipping forward the set of wrong questions, Chen Zhou once again sorted out the research errors on the hail conjecture during this time.

This is the first time that Chen Zhou has added so much content to the problem set after officially activating the system.

Almost, there is new content every day.

Moreover, as soon as it is added, there is a whole bunch of formulas and the like.

Closing the wrong question book, Chen Zhou thought to himself, will one day, this wrong question book be overwhelmed and filled with his own mistakes?

It's not impossible, as long as he finds a few more mathematical conjectures to study, and soon the set of mistakes will become a full set of errors.

Shaking his head slightly, throwing his cranky thoughts out of his mind, Chen Zhou naturally wouldn't really do so many mathematical problems to study at once.

This hail conjecture had already made him feel the difficulty of mathematics.

This problem is simply a mathematical black hole.

Attempts during this time, whether it be the choice and use of mathematical tools, or the solution to the problem, have been swallowed up by this black hole.

Chen Zhou thought about it for a while and decided to charge it first and see if he could stand on the shoulders of giants.

The time soon came for the finals of the Qiu Competition.

The interview time for the finals is from May 18th to 19th, and it is still a weekend.

After the interview, the evening of the 19th was the award ceremony and dinner.

On May 18th, Chen Zhou and the five of them followed the leading teachers of Yenching University to the Yau Chengtong Mathematical Science Center of Shuimu University with high morale.

This is where the finals will be interviewed.

Although Mizuki University and Yenching University are adjacent to each other, this is the first time Chen Zhou has come to Mizuki University.

How to put it, Chen Zhou's actual feeling is that these two universities are about the same, and they are both built on the basis of royal gardens.

If you want to talk about the difference, Mizuki has a more modern atmosphere than Yanda, and the architectural style is somewhat different.

Another difference is that walking on the campus of Shuimu, Chen Zhou has received a lot less attention.

Unlike in Yanda, wherever he goes, people are paying attention to him.

In the rest area outside the interview venue, there are already many candidates who have participated in the interview.

Some of them came to Yanjing by plane yesterday.

In addition to these candidates, there are also some journalists from the news media.

Some are interviewing the finalists, while others are looking forward to it.

There is no need to ask, Chen Zhou also knows that what these people are looking forward to is Mr. Qiu.

However, Chen Zhou felt that on the first day of the interview today, Mr. Qiu was unlikely to come.

What Chen Zhou didn't expect was that in addition to looking forward to the arrival of Mr. Qiu, these people also paid extra attention to one person.

As soon as the finalists from Yenching University arrived, they immediately surrounded them.

The figure of the person who searched for the person in the Yanda team.

When someone compared the photo in his memory with himself, Chen Zhou found that there was suddenly an interview in front of him.

That's right, these people pay extra attention to Chen Zhou.

After all, Chen Zhou was the first person to receive Mr. Qiu's comments at the end of the written test.

Moreover, the meaning of appreciation in this comment can be seen by everyone.

At this time, it is a good time to catch Chen Zhou's interview.

"Hello classmate, are you Chen Zhou?" Although the female reporter standing in front of Chen Zhou looked at Chen Zhou with curious eyes, she still had a professional smile on her face.

Chen Zhou glanced at the person in front of him, as well as at his microphone, and had some doubts in his heart, judging from this question, this is for himself?

But why?

Although he was puzzled, Chen Zhou still nodded: "I'm Chen Zhou." ”

Hearing the conversation here, those reporters who had not yet found Chen Zhou instantly seized the direction.

Chen Zhou only felt that all of a sudden, he was surrounded by people!

These journalists are horrible......

However, these people didn't rush to talk.

The female reporter who was the first to find Chen Zhou said loudly: "Hello Chen Zhou, I am a reporter from Yanjing Daily, I have a few questions here, can I interview you?"

Chen Zhou glanced at the four Yang Yiyi who had been separated, and then looked at the group of people around him, it seemed that if he didn't answer, he probably wouldn't be able to leave.

Chen Zhou thought for a while and said, "No problem, please say." However, try to be brief, as the interview will start soon. ”

"Okay, don't worry. After the female reporter finished speaking, she asked directly, "What do you think of this Qiu Chengtong College Student Mathematics Competition?"

Chen Zhou glanced at this person, do you want to tell the truth?

He felt that the questions in the previous written test, except for the number theory paper, were quite simple.

It can even be said that some of the topics are too simple and completely unnecessary.

But this is the territory of Mizuki University, but Qiu Chengtong is the center of mathematical sciences, and he is afraid that if he tells the truth, he will be beaten......

So, Chen Zhou said vaguely: "It's okay, it feels good." ”

Everyone, including the female reporter, waited for a while, and then found that Chen Zhou had finished speaking.

"Ahem...... the female reporter tried her best to maintain a professional smile and continued to ask, "You are the only perfect score in all subjects in this competition, do you know?"

Chen Zhou said succinctly: "I know." ”

The female reporter asked, "How do you feel?"

Chen Zhou still said: "It's okay, it feels good." ”

Female Journalist: "......"

The person next to him was a little anxious, and kept handing the female reporter a look, asking her to ask the most important question quickly.

The female reporter cleaned up her mood and asked again: "Then what do you think of Mr. Qiu Chengtong's evaluation of you?"

Chen Zhou asked a little inexplicably, "What evaluation?"

The female reporter said with some surprise: "Didn't you pay attention to Weibo? On Weibo, after the results of this competition came out, the official Weibo of the competition posted your written test results separately, and accompanied by Mr. Qiu's evaluation. ”

Saying that, the female reporter had skillfully opened Weibo with her mobile phone and found the Weibo posted by Qiu Sai's official blog.

Chen Zhou took the mobile phone handed by the female reporter and glanced at it suspiciously.

What is very conspicuous is Chen Zhou's full score in all subjects.

But what is more conspicuous is Mr. Qiu's comment.

[The calculations are extremely rigorous, the logic is meticulous and unmistakable, and the thinking is extremely clear. 】

After Chen Zhou finished reading it, he handed the phone back to the female reporter, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Because I haven't paid attention to Weibo before, I didn't see Mr. Qiu's comments until today." Well, thank you very much for the old gentleman's attention. ”

Female journalists and media friends, as well as almost the entire venue, are watching here.

As a result, after Chen Zhou finished speaking, it was gone again.

The female reporter finally couldn't hold back her professional smile, and she asked, "You're done?"

Chen Zhou nodded slightly.

Just when the other reporters couldn't help but want to ask themselves, the team leader teacher of Yan University and the staff of Qiu Sai came over together.

Kindly, please ask reporters to take a break, and the interview for the finals will start soon.

Reporters are helpless, and they can't delay interviews, right?

I had to lead the staff to the next lounge.

The female reporter whispered to Chen Zhou: "Chen Zhou, after you win the gold medal, please let me do an interview, is it okay?"

It's the first time she's encountered such an interview, which is too precious to be a word, right?

Although the last sentence says a little more, is it different from "It's okay, it feels good"?

Chen Zhou thought about it and nodded.

As for the follow-up, let's talk about it......

Inside the venue.

Chen Zhou was the first candidate to be interviewed.

Looking at the judges' seats, sitting on the bench, there are judges with titles such as "Professor of Harvard University in the United States, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the United States", "Professor of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, Academician of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom" and so on.

Chen Zhou sighed silently: "This interview is like that......"

Because Chen Zhou is the only one who has been shortlisted for the finals with full scores in all five subjects.

Therefore, the judges who interviewed him were specially discussed by the organizing committee of the competition.

Moreover, to Chen Zhou's surprise, the old man sitting in the middle of the judges' seat, with gray hair, was not Mr. Qiu Chengtong?
