Xu Bin has been furious since learning that the University of Pennsylvania in Eagle Sauce Country has provoked the three participating universities in Xia Kingdom.

Now that he heard Ding Yue say so calmly, he also calmed down.

"Brother Yue, do you mean that the University of Pennsylvania team is actually deliberately provoking us in order to make us angry?"

Xu Bin frowned, looked at Ding Yue and asked.

Ding Yue thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, just now Ouyang Chen said that there should be no problem for you to crack this program of the University of Pennsylvania team, but it will take a lot of time, right?"

Seeing Ding Yue ask like this, Xu Bin immediately understood what was going on.

"That's right, these gringos are really sinister in their intentions, using such a program to provoke us, if I really crack their program, then I will definitely not be able to sleep well tonight. ”

After Xu Bin suddenly realized, he clenched his fist with one hand and hammered it heavily on the table.

"Yes, this group of gringos is trying to make us tired of dealing with them tonight, and then tomorrow's ACM game, our form will obviously suffer. ”

Ding Yue completely saw through the "radical methods" of those gringos in the Eagle Sauce Country.

This group of gringos actually used the thirty-six tricks of our Xia Kingdom to do things, Ding Yue laughed.

"Principal Ding, are these gringos afraid that we won't succeed?" Chen Jun, who was beside Xu Bin, suddenly asked curiously.

"It's not necessarily because they're afraid of us that they're using this kind of despicable means, but because these gringos are inherently despicable, and don't forget what they have done. ”

Ding Yue smiled coldly and replied, "Even now, the gringos' various scientific and technological blockades of our Xia Kingdom are still vivid. ”

In this parallel world, many fields of science and technology in the Xia Kingdom have indeed been blockaded by foreign countries.

Just like the third-generation gallium nitride semiconductor material technology researched by Ding Yue before, the world's leading level has been relatively mature in this regard.

When Ding Yue and several professors from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology have not yet developed gallium nitride semiconductor material technology, China is still at the stage of silicon materials.

This is a living example.

"Principal Ding is right, these gringos, there is no good thing!" Ouyang Chen said indignantly.

Xu Bin also nodded slightly: "It's really despicable enough, I almost fell for it." ”

Xu Bin was both angry and glad at the despicable behavior of the University of Pennsylvania team.

Fortunately, Brother Yue was relatively calm and rationally analyzed what was wrong.

Otherwise, with Xu Bin's bloody nature, I am afraid that he will have to fight for "provocation", and even if he stays up late today, he will have to crack the program of the University of Pennsylvania team.

If that's the case, you'll be fooled.

"By the way, Haicheng Jiaotong University and Northwestern University of Science and Technology should also be cracking the program of the University of Pennsylvania, but they can't be fooled. ”

Xu Bin suddenly remembered something, and then quickly took out his mobile phone.

"Yes, although Haicheng Jiaotong University and Northwestern University of Science and Technology are also our competitors in ACM this time, we are all domestic participating universities after all, so let them know quickly. ”

When Ding Yue heard this, he nodded hurriedly.

This kind of thing, the University of Fog City Liberal Arts and Sciences has already realized the despicable behavior in it, so naturally it can't let the friendly army fall into the trap.

Soon, Xu Bin made a voice call to the team leader of Northwest University of Science and Technology: "Hey, Professor Liu, yes, I'm Xu Bin from Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences." ”

"Xu Bin, how is the progress of the program at the University of Pennsylvania? ”

On the phone, Professor Liu asked.

"Professor Liu, don't bother with that effort, we don't have to deal with the University of Pennsylvania at all, this is a set for us, just to consume our time and energy. ”

Xu Bin immediately explained to Professor Liu.

"Oh, it looks like it's going to start tomorrow, why should we put our energy into it!"

When Professor Liu heard Xu Bin say this, he suddenly realized.

Previously, like Xu Bin, they all wanted to respond positively to the University of Pennsylvania team, and even wanted to prove that the computer strength of Xia Guo's universities was very strong, but it was just a program, and it was no problem to crack it.

As a result, we fell into a strange circle.

In this case, as long as someone clicks on it, they can react quickly.

Professor Liu understood what Xu Bin meant, and immediately decided that their Northwestern University of Science and Technology team would no longer spend energy to deal with the provocation of the University of Pennsylvania.

"Professor Liu, we should have a good rest tonight, recuperate enough, and hope to get a satisfactory result in the ACM competition tomorrow!"

Xu Bin said to Professor Liu very politely.

They are all Chinese, and they go abroad to participate in competitions, although they are opponents, they are also friends.

"Well, yes, yes, I'll tell Lao Chen about them quickly!" Professor Liu agreed with Xu Bin's statement.

And the old Chen in Professor Liu's mouth is Professor Chen, the leader of the team of Haicheng Jiaotong University.

"Okay, I'm sorry for Professor Liu. ”

After hanging up the voice call, Xu Bin took a deep breath, and then looked at Ding Yue: "Brother Yue, thanks to your calmness, you can see the trickiness in it, otherwise the three colleges and universities in our Xia Kingdom will really fall into the quagmire all of a sudden." ”

Ding Yue just smiled faintly, then stretched out his hand and patted Xu Bin's shoulder: "Abin, the task of the three of you is to have a good rest, everything is focused on tomorrow's ACM competition, and you don't have to worry about other factors at all." ”

"Good. Xu Bin nodded, and then said to Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen: "Chen Jun, Ouyang Chen, you two go back to rest immediately, don't think about anything, sleep well!"

"Understood!"

Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen answered, and then left Principal Ding's room and went back to his room to sleep and rest.

Professor Liu of Northwestern University of Science and Technology also notified Haicheng Jiaotong University as soon as possible, asking them to stop cracking the program of the University of Pennsylvania and explained the reason.

The people here at Haicheng Jiaotong University are short-tempered, and after knowing that the Eagle Sauce Guoyan is so sinister, they scolded the participating team of the University of Pennsylvania on the domestic social media platform for not speaking of martial arts!

After seeing the blog post of Haicheng Jiaotong University, domestic netizens expressed their support for the three domestic participating universities, and said that the Eagle Sauce Guoyan is really disgusting, and it is indeed not martial arts!

However, because the Weibo of Haicheng Jiaotong University did not have much popularity, this matter only set off a small wave on the domestic social media platform, and there was not much hot search.

On this night in Zurich, Switzerland, Ding Yue slept well.

The next morning, after Ding Yue woke up, the secretary Wen Ruohan came over and asked him to go to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.

"Xiaowen, call everyone. After Ding Yue finished breakfast with everyone, he was ready to go to the ACM competition in advance.

"Principal Ding, it's already called. ”

Wen Ruohan replied.

"Good. ”

About five minutes later, Ding Yue changed his clothes, and then walked to the hotel's restaurant with Wen Ruohan.

Coincidentally, while having breakfast in the hotel restaurant, Ding Yue also ran into a college ACN competition team.

They are teams from Nanyang Polytechnic.

This Nanyang Polytechnic is also very high in the international rankings, and the most important thing is that Ding Yue's Fog City University of Arts and Sciences has cooperated with Nanyang Technological University.

That's right!

Ding Yue's sister Ding Xiaoyou is now using a set of energy chemistry technology research equipment that was purchased from Nanyang Polytechnic.

In this regard, Nanyang Polytechnic is indeed a world leader.

Unexpectedly, at breakfast in the same hotel in Zurich today, I also met the Nanyang Polytechnic team.

Ding Yue had a brief chat with the leader of the participating team of Nanyang Technological University, and the other party knew Ding Yue's identity, and immediately remembered the equipment order worth more than 100 million, which was still a little sensational at Nanyang Technological University at that time.

"President Ding, the University of Pennsylvania's behavior towards the participating universities in your country is indeed a gentleman. ”

Professor Sun of the Nanyang Technological University team said to Ding Yue.

"Well, they are not bad gentlemen, they are not gentlemen at all. Ding Yue responded.

Nanyang Technological University is located in Singapore, where there are mostly Chinese, and coincidentally, Professor Sun is also of Chinese descent, and he is also a professor in the Department of Computer Science at Nanyang Technological University, so it is quite convenient to communicate with Ding Yue.

Because everyone speaks the same language.

After breakfast, before Ding Yue and Professor Sun of Nanyang Technological University left, he naturally sent his best wishes to Professor Sun and them: "Professor Sun, then we will see you in the competition later, and I wish your team a good result." ”

"Okay, Principal Ding, your school too, come on!"

After leaving the hotel, Ding Yue and his entourage took the hotel car to the venue of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition.

This time the arena is the center of the stadium, and preparations for the ACM competition have been underway for a few days ago.

The relevant competition committees and sponsors are also ready to welcome the arrival of the participating teams from the world's top universities majoring in computer science.

Among all the participating universities, the most controversial is undoubtedly Foggy City University of Arts and Sciences.

Some foreigners who pay more attention to Xia Guo University said that they have never heard of any computer competitions that this university has participated in before, or what achievements have been made in this area.

Among the three universities in Xia Guo's competition, there is no doubt that Haicheng Jiaotong University has the greatest reputation.

After all, Haicheng Jiaotong University has won the championship in a certain ACM competition, and it is also recognized abroad as the most powerful domestic university in the field of computer science.

As for Northwestern University of Science and Technology, it is well-known, but it is not high, and in the eyes of foreigners, this university may have qualified for some reason.

The most controversial is the Fog City University of Arts and Sciences.

Many foreigners only learned that this Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences was a private university in Xia Guo when the competition began.

The "private university" in the eyes of foreigners is actually not the same as in China, and many of the world's top universities are private, so Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences has become a "dark horse" in the eyes of foreigners for a while.

In the lounge of the Xia Guo team in the ACM competition, after Ding Yue and the others came here, they asked the secretary Wen Ruohan to take charge of all the next "needs" of Xu Bin, Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen.

Serving tea and water is the most basic, and now the three of Xu Bin must concentrate all their energy on the competition that will start later.

The rules of the ACM competition are different from those of the regular competition.

Each team is required to work on eight or more complex real-world programming problems within a set of five hours, and each team is required to use a computer, and the contestants are required to compete against other teams in terms of logic, strategy, and mental fitness.

That's right!

All qualified university teams from all over the world will compete against the clock for these five hours.

Whoever can solve the programming and other problems of the competition committee faster and better will be the champion of this ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition!

The top 10 teams in the finals of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest will receive a scholarship: $100,000 for the first place, $50,000 for the second, $20,000 for the third, and $10,000 each for the fourth to tenth place.

In addition, the North American champions, the European champions, the South Pacific champions and the Asian champions will be recognized.

Of course, the weight of these four division winners is obviously not as heavy as that of the overall championship!

In terms of bonuses, in fact, in Ding Yue's opinion, it is not much.

The first place is only 100,000 US dollars, and Ding Yue values not this prize money, but the honor and influence of this ACM competition.

If Xu Bin can represent Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences to win the global championship of this ACM competition, Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences will be famous in the field of computer science.

And it is also a leap, from unknown to a world-class computer major.

"Abin, this ACM is very important for our Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, other universities have world-renowned computer professional strength, and we, more like a novice, need to rely on this ACM competition to make a reputation!"

Ding Yue said to Xu Bin earnestly.

Of course, Xu Bin understood what his good buddy meant, and immediately nodded: "Brother Yue, don't worry, I can't say that I will definitely be able to win this championship, but I will do my best!"

This time, the participating universities are basically the top in the world, and no matter how confident Xu Bin is, he can't say the kind of comprehensive beating.

"Principal Ding, we will also do our best to assist Director Xu!" The eyes of the two students, Chen Jun and Ouyang Chen, were also full of fighting spirit!
