181 Homing
The next morning, chemical hell returned.
Thankfully, in front of the gates of hell, there is one last buffer-
Breakfast.
Li Zheng's breakfast this time was eaten at the same table with Zhang Xiaoke, and by the way, I would like to talk about some of the problems she has encountered recently.
However, this scene is for other leaders.
It's a deeper hell again.
In the restaurant, they were dumb and speechless, swallowing separately.
Swallowing and swallowing, Wei Dongyang finally couldn't swallow anymore, got up angrily, and rushed to the dining table.
Served a large bowl of tofu brain.
The rest of the people, when they saw this momentum, immediately comprehended it.
In an instant, no matter whether the north or south was sweet or salty, more than a dozen inches came over.
Everyone hated the same enemy, one person and one spoonful, all sprinkled on this bowl of innocent white tofu brain.
In the blink of an eye, the sugar jar in front of the table was emptied.
A bowl of ultimate revenge sweet tofu brain was born.
Under the leadership of Wei Dongyang, everyone was forced to Li Zheng's table in an instant.
Boom.
The bowl slammed into the table.
"Yesterday's game, in the end, the sweet team won. Wei Dongyang stared at Li Zheng and said in a deep voice, "It's a man who did it." β
"......" Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was still a competition.
Indeed, he was also a member of the Salty team, and he also dragged down the first attack of the Salty team, and deserved to suffer the punishment of defeat.
It's just that......
This bowl ...... Is it really tofu brain? How does it feel like a thick starch lump?
But even so, Li Zheng also picked up the spoon and said to everyone.
"Willing to gamble and lose. β
After that, he dug a big spoonful, opened his mouth desperately, and sent a spoonful of sweet tofu brain directly to the root of his tongue.
During the whole process, there was nothing unusual in his expression, and he was as steady as death.
Then, another scoop came.
I don't even shake it.
Wei Dongyang was shocked when he saw the tiger's body.
Damn, there's this trick again!
In order not to taste the sweetness of tofu brain.
This forced force went around the tongue and went directly into the esophagus.
This...... This is simply a blasphemy of sweet tofu brain!
The inchmen also hugged their heads and scolded.
"Don't bring anything like that!"
"Aren't you afraid of getting diabetes?"
"Lick it. β
"Okay, meet you. Li Zheng smiled lightly, dug deep from the place where he had just been dug up, and dug out a large spoonful of pure tofu brain, which perfectly avoided the thick syrup on the surface.
He then put it in his mouth and tasted it on the tip of his tongue.
Even, open your mouth slightly, and show the stirring tongue to everyone to see.
Look at the tip of his tongue.
The crowd collapsed.
"Okay, okay~" Zhang Xiao could see that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly got up to solve the siege, "Time is running out, Li Zheng has to tell me a few more questions, a few brothers, just let Li Zheng go~ I will excuse you for the crime~"
Zhang Xiaoke said, clasped his hands into fists, and made a gesture with the crowd.
See this.
The eyes of all the inches instantly wandered together.
"Hey...... Never mind. β
"It's not good for your body to eat again......"
"Talk about it. β
"Don't make a fuss, eat and eat. β
Dozens of seconds of hard work are all gone.
"Haha. Zhang Xiaoke said with a smile, "The people here are too cute, except for your roommate." β
"You don't understand, Grace is the cutest. β
Li Zheng picked up the cup, took a big sip of water, and raised his head and spit it out for a long time, then wiped his mouth and re-lectured.
Zhang Xiaoke also listened attentively.
When it comes to studying, she's serious.
......
Not long after, the phone's alarm went off.
In 5 minutes, I will take the bus to Ludong University to attend the lectures.
Li Zheng could only close the notebook unsatisfactorily: "Send the rest of the WeChat over, I'll give you a voice message, and the video can also be used." β
"It's okay, I won't bother you. Zhang Xiaoke also closed his notes and breathed a sigh of relief, "So Master, will you be able to see your news on TV in two days?"
"It's hard to say. Li Zheng grabbed a big meat bun and quickly gnawed it, "Judging from the experience of the past few years, the national champions have not entered the national team, there will be great changes in strength during this training camp, and the final assessment questions will be very demonic. β
"That is to say, although you don't like chemistry, you will still do your best to qualify, right?" Zhang Xiaoke asked, packing his schoolbag.
"Of course. After Li Zheng gobbled it up, he wiped his mouth and asked, "By the way, don't you participate in the physics competition with them?"
"I'm pragmatic if I don't do that. Zhang Xiaoke put on his schoolbag and shook his fist, "Recently, the comics have been sealed, and I won't go shopping anymore, so I will chase after Master with all my might." β
"Oh, I just like your confidence. Li Zheng also carried his schoolbag and bumped into his fist with the apprentice, "Then, see you at school." β
"High school or college?"
"With me helping you, you can see you. β
"Hehe~~ I didn't hurt you in vain, Master~~"
"I think about it a lot, it's all for Mrs. Zhang's face. β
"??? the title...... How to get weirder. β
......
I have to say that Zhang Xiaoke's arrival has improved Li Zheng's state a lot.
With the spices of physics and comics, as well as comfortable home slippers, chemistry isn't so scary.
In the second week of intensive training, he actually improved a little, and raised his chemistry to the magical level of 346.
Unexpectedly, in the limited chemical territory, a few points of juice can still be squeezed out.
On Saturday, December 22, the training camp ushered in the final assessment.
It's the same as the national decision, one day of theory, one day of experimentation.
Although the whole training camp was extremely boring, most of the students' exam status was still very relaxed.
After all, the people sitting here are already all escorted.
And the vast majority of people don't think they have the opportunity to go to Prague, just to accompany them.
Of course, a few people are still holding their back.
Before entering the classroom, Shi Yang changed his previous sloppy and unprecedentedly serious.
left Li Zheng with a sentence "If you release water, I will never pay attention to you again in my life" before stepping into the examination room.
This threat, for Li Zheng.
Nature is no threat.
In fact, being pestered by Shi Baoer every day is the most terrifying.
However, he didn't intend to release the water at all.
Exams start as usual.
After all, it is the final election, and this time it is an ICHO-level problem, and the difficulty is also beyond the level of ICHO in Indonesia last year.
The amount of questions is huge, and none of them give away points.
Good, that's good enough.
What I didn't expect was that this was too hard......
A full 5 hours.
He......
It didn't even finish.
There is no way, the scope of the questions is too comprehensive, and the test is too deep.
Not only him, but everyone had a loveless expression when they were wrapping up.
Not even the strength to answer is gone.
It was Shi Yang, but he came to Li Zheng's side very energetically.
"That's a lot of energy, this time. β
"yes...... It's been a long time since I've felt this cramped. Li Zheng rubbed his knuckles, "Isn't that interesting...... I didn't finish it, though. β
"Hey, I didn't finish it either. Shi Yang laughed.
"And what are you so happy about?"
"Because I saw that a few people next to me hadn't even finished half of it, haha. β
β......β
......
The next day's experiment, also 5 hours.
Two big questions, just looking at the question makes people shudder-
γSynthesis of Dititanium, N-acetyl-L-Prolyl-L-Phenylalanine Methyl Ester (Ac-L-Pro-L-Phe-OCH3)γ
γTitration of ascorbic acid with potassium iodateγ
Not only are these things terrifying, but the experimental process is completely beyond the previous processes such as "heating and filtration", full of low temperature, stratification, hand cranking, etc., and there is a precise time limit for each step.
In a nutshell.
The slightest hesitation will lead to defeat.
In addition, 5 hours is a very tight time, and both experiments must be performed at the same time to be possible to complete with a high score.
This requires experimental understanding and time control, which is also at a terrifying level.
Probably only the researchers in the Tiantian Bubble Laboratory can be sure to achieve a high score at the first time.
Even Li Zheng, in the face of these brand-new compounds and intermediates, has fallen into cramps more than once.
The complexity of the experiment is here, and even if you meditate a lot, there will always be unexpected situations when you do it, and you need more on-the-spot adaptability and luck.
Eventually, when time ran out, he had just filled out the answer sheet.
It's not a bad job, but it's certainly not a good result.
With the end of the experimental exam, the students should have shouted for liberation.
But this experiment was so horrific that almost everyone was tortured enough.
I really don't have the strength to talk.
Even Wei Dongyang, who participated in last year's training camp, scolded out.
"It's twice as hard as it was last year......"
Li Zheng also sat on the spot.
Indeed, even ICHO is too strong for this intensity.
As the team leader, Zhou Yi was embarrassed with questions of this level, and the amount was so large.
It seems that it has been predicted that next year's Prague, the finals for the 50th anniversary of Icho, will definitely be the most difficult in history.
The demons of Eastern Europe will surely defend the dignity of chemistry.
In view of this, he Zhou Chenghuan did not hesitate to torture people so much, just to screen out the most terrifying problem-solving monsters.
......
After dinner, close to nine o'clock, all the training staff were again summoned to the small conference room for an informal small camping ceremony.
At this time, the conference room was a little scattered, and Zhou Yi and the three teachers in charge were sitting in the main seat, still discussing something.
Under Zhou Yi's call, the students also sat down casually.
After getting along for so long, at the end of this training camp, Zhou Yi didn't say any more clichΓ©s, but only smiled and asked around, "Is it difficult?"
"Difficult!" shouted the training team members in an almost vented tone.
This time, even Li Zheng was shouting.
"Haha~" Zhou Yi was happy, "It's really a little difficult, everyone has worked hard." β
The audience laughed too.
Damn, Zhou Chenghuan said so, it can be seen that it is really difficult.
"The results are out, let me briefly say it. Zhou Yi leaned back in the chair and commented relaxedly, "Icho is a 100-point system, generally 60 points for theory and 40 points for experiments, is this set of questions difficult...... It is conservatively estimated that you can get a gold medal with about 65 points, but if you want to get the top three, you still have to score 90 points. According to this way, there are probably more than ten gold medalists sitting here. β
"Whew-"
The casual atmosphere is lively again.
Such a demonic question, more than a dozen people scored more than 60 points?
Damn, that's not what everyone said when they just finished the exam.
"But yes. Zhou Yi hurriedly sat up straight, lifted his glasses and said, "Next year's Prague question is not necessarily simpler than this, we still have to choose the best of the best." Each of your papers, I have personally seen the decision, and several other teachers have also signed and approved, the current results are the final grades, and I hope you will know. β
The classmates nodded steadily, the matter has come to this, there is no need to fight for points or anything, this is it.
After reconfirming with the teachers on the left and right, Zhou Yi picked up the report card, his smile gradually narrowed, and the tone of his speech sank.
"I hope you know that the training exam is different from the national final exam. β
"There will be a correlation between the results, but it is not conclusive. β
"Only the top five results have been announced. β
"The rest of the students want to know the results, so they can wait until the meeting is over. β
"If you need it, you can also get a standard answer. β
Finally, I would like to reiterate that this exam has a perfect score of 60 points for theory and 40 points for experiments. β
"So, the first place in our training camp ......"
Zhou Yi suddenly raised his head and burst into a ring smile: "Who is it?"
"Hey!"
"Ahhh
"How do you play the set of "Singer"? β
The classmates all shouted and cursed.
"Hehe, it's fun...... Zhou Yi smiled, "Why don't you announce the third place first?" Wei Dongyang...... Or Zhou Bin?"
The scolding intensified.
"Enough is enough, Mr. Zhou!"
"Please, speak human words!"
The teacher next to him couldn't stand it anymore.
"Don't make a fuss, Dean Zhou......"
"Spare the kids. β
"I'm tired enough. β
Under the condemnation of everyone, Zhou Yi had no choice but to give up in disappointment, cough his throat, and return to seriousness.
"Good, good...... Then I'll go straight from the first place. β
"First place, Shi Yang. β
"Overall Score: 95.29"
"Theory 55.33 points, ranked 2nd. β
"The experiment scored 39.96 points, ranking 1. β
Before he finished speaking, the conference room was already frying.
"Damn! The Cobalt God has returned!"
"This is a demon, right? Shi Yang, you are a demon!"
"Can this dog beep experiment be done like this?"
"Just give him a gold medal, Mr. Zhou. β
In the midst of everyone's congratulations and condemnation, Shi Yang became shy, only lowered his head, and glanced at Li Zheng who was sitting on the right side with his spare eyes.
If the rules don't change.
Li Zheng's road to competition.
That's the end of it.
Li Zheng himself only felt light and fluttering, and his brain was refreshed.
It's not because you can escape the chemical hell.
It's a sense of relief after doing your best.
There are more than one billion people in the country, and there are people outside the people.
lost to Shi Yang, convinced.
No regrets.
Li Zheng didn't have any extra emotions, he only slapped Shi Yang and scolded with a smile: "Damn, this experiment is really too perverted, you are awesome, you are awesome." β
"Hahaha......" Shi Yang dared to laugh at this time, licking his face and scolding back, "You still can't do it, you lost to Lao Tzu." β
Not only Li Zheng, but also the people around him came over to beat Shi Yang.
"Did you forget to eat?"
"Sign me in advance. β
"I'm afraid I'm not going to break the covenant. β
The hilarious atmosphere lasted for a few minutes without stopping, and Zhou Yi had to stop it himself.
Soon, everyone returned to their homes, and the conference room fell silent again.
Zhou Yi was not in a hurry to announce it.
After a moment of silence, he sighed and spoke.
"Second place ......"
"Li Zheng. β
"Overall score 90.15"
"Theory 58.02 points, ranked 1. β
"The experiment scored 32.13 points, ranking 4th. β
Not the same as before.
There is no fryer this time.
The scene was a little cold.
Many people have a sad wind blowing in their hearts.
These two are really the result......
This set of questions, Theory 58.02......
There is every reason to challenge for the world's number one.
Even if the experiment does not have such an absolute advantage, it is definitely confident to compete for the top three.
In previous years, at this level, I would definitely go to Icho.
Can it be ......
This year, I bumped into Shi Yang's demon.
And that's not all.
Many of the people present also knew about it.
The final laboratory exam at the time of the selection of the Jijing team.
It was Li Zheng who pulled Shi Yang with his own hands.
For a while, the conference room was full of sighs, and everyone didn't know whether to congratulate or comfort.
Zhou Yi saw that his classmates didn't speak, so he had to speak himself.
This theoretical achievement is actually as incredible as Shi Yang's experimental results. β
"Seriously, this set of questions, 5 hours, it is impossible to finish, let the first three champions come, may not be able to get 55. β
"The theoretical score of 58.02 is the most extreme situation I have ever seen. β
"Nothing more to say, very, very, very good. β
Zhou Yi didn't dare to look at Li Zheng during the whole process, and only continued to announce the results.
"Third place, Zhou Bin, total score 81.55......"
β......β
"Fourth place, Wei Dongyang, total score 80.81......"
β......β
"Fifth place, Sun Chenglong, total score, 78.29......"
β......β
"Given that there are four members of the national team, regulations from different regions are needed. β
"If nothing else......" Zhou Yi put down the list, sighed, and looked at several players in turn, "The national team that will play in the 50th Icho next year will be composed of four classmates, Shi Yang, Zhou Bin, Wei Dongyang and Sun Chenglong, and this list will be officially announced soon." β
After saying that, Zhou Yi got up and nodded to everyone.
"Thank you all for your dedication during this time. β
"I believe that in the future, we will definitely meet again. β
"I hope you don't let up because of the escort. β
"There's still a lot to be done between now and university. β
"You can prepare for the college entrance examination to lay a solid foundation, and you can also develop hobbies and research topics in advance. β
"If not, it's a good idea to go to the surrounding colleges and universities to audit. β
"Welcome to my organic class, haha. β
"So, that's it for the final meeting. β
"Starting tomorrow morning, there will be a special bus to take you to the train station. β
"Break up and end the camp. β
"Students who want to see their grades can come. β
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yi sat back in his chair, took off his glasses, tilted his head slightly and rubbed his eyes.
These days, he has also traveled frequently between Jilu and Jilu, in addition to lecturing and judging questions, he is also very tired.
The students got up and sent their best wishes.
"Teacher Zhou has also worked hard. β
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. β
"Haha, I'll listen to you when I enroll next year. β
Li Zheng also got up in this chaos and rubbed his old cervical vertebrae.
Stealing teachers to learn art, after all, it can't withstand Shi Yang's more than ten years of immersion and love for chemistry.
If you lose to someone else, you will definitely be more or less unhappy.
But lost to Shi Yang.
I can't help it~
Actually, at this time, I should have thanked Zhou Yi in the past, by the way.
But Zhou Yi never looked at his side.
Presumably, I am also worried about the sensitive and complicated situation.
After thinking of this, Li Zheng only seized the opportunity to nod from afar, and after Zhou Yi waved his hand, he and Shi Yang left the conference room.
Walking in the hallway, drifting away with the noise behind you.
Li Zheng no longer has any superfluous distractions.
Shi Yang followed Li Zheng closely throughout the whole process, constantly talking about vulgar topics.
Li Zheng knew that he was diverting his attention and not allowing himself to think about Icho anymore.
But it doesn't have to be like this at all.
At this time, Li Zheng's heart.
It's long since drifted back to school.
The flowers of Sakura Lake are already grateful.
It's time to change into winter clothes.
