Chapter 49: The Literary Examination
Wu Qiong was lying on a rattan chair watching today's news, and the headlines on the front page were all about the whale fall preliminaries.
All the major media are commenting on the rules of the preliminaries, and even many entertainment programs have not missed the opportunity to ridicule the "think tank".
If a single individual can do everything to this extent, not to mention a whale city, even the whole of space should belong to him.
The vast majority of contestants quit the competition after reading the assessment syllabus, which they can't understand, let alone let them participate in the competition with this kind of knowledge that does not speak human words.
It sparked a heated discussion on the Internet, and half of the netizens felt that the question group was too immoral and it was impossible for ordinary people to answer these questions.
The other half of the netizens are very supportive of the question group, how can the city lord of Whale Fall City be an ordinary person? Only those who are rich in five cars are worthy of the position of the lord of Whale Fall City.
All the discussions, Wu Qiong just looked at it.
If it weren't for Player Zero telling him, He Shouchen would have told He Wenxiu the topic in advance, and Wu Qiong would really have high hopes for the winner. It's a pity that He Shouchen has already figured out how to cheat, this kind of hidden fraud assessment is destined to not be able to choose a good person Meiyu.
However, Wu Qiong is still very concerned about the rematch, if someone can really perform well without cheating, Wu Qiong will really consider including the rising star under his command.
This test may seem unfair on the surface, but it is actually more indicative of a person's overall level of knowledge.
Wu Qiong turned over and suddenly faced a red dress lying on the side of the rattan chair.
The red-clothed beauty looked at Wu Qiong with a smile on her eyebrows, her eyes burning like peach blossoms in March.
Wu Qiong suddenly felt bored, and turned his back to the red-clothed beauty to the other side. "If you don't want to help me, why do you come to me again."
The beauty in red was not annoyed, and made a detour to Wu Qiong's front and said, "I know that the Taoist chief has a request for me, so I took the initiative to solve the problems for the Taoist chief." ”
Wu Qiong didn't bother to speak, and the beauty in red said to herself: "The Taoist chief must be very concerned about the results of the rematch, and he wants to know which of the top people in the ranking are not cheating." I am the most inquired about this kind of trivial matter, can the Taoist chief think about rewarding meritorious deeds again? ”
Wu Qiong turned over again, but still didn't speak.
The red-clothed beauty lay behind Wu Qiong and said, "The slave family has learned to be good this time, and they will not ask for rewards in advance." But after the slave family inquires about the specific news, the Taoist chief should not break his word! ”
Wu Qiong pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Since you have a hard time, I won't force you." But can you please inquire one more thing for me? ”
The beauty in red stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Wu Qiong turned a blind eye to most of the slender jade fingers that came from between the hairs: "Help me find out, whose hand is the negative." ”
The beauty in red stroked Wu Qiong's smooth hair and said, "I'll do my best." ”
Wu Qiong was quite satisfied with this answer, he turned his head sideways to meet the burning gaze of the red-clothed beauty, and smiled faintly: "If things are done well, meritorious deeds will be rewarded." ”
Hearing this, the beauty in red grew dog ears on her head and a dog tail behind her. A big tail kept wagging and shaking, for fear that Wu Qiong wouldn't see that she was now happy all over the world.
At this time, the preliminaries of the whale fall duel were in full swing in the Golden and Silver Castle.
After selection and withdrawal, only one million people decided to challenge for the semi-finals.
There are 10 examination rooms in the Golden and Silver Castle, and 1 million candidates have to take the examination for 12 days each.
There are exams every two days, for a total of six exams over a period of 12 days. The scope of the exam is very wide, as long as the knowledge that has been confirmed by scientists is within the scope of the assessment.
The first test is biology.
90% of Whale City's business is related to self-circulation, pharmaceutical research and development, and medical services. Therefore, the city lord of Whale Fall City must be a person who knows creatures well, otherwise he will not be able to effectively manage Whale Fall City.
As a result, the content of the exam was too difficult, and after the first exam, more than ninety percent of the people voluntarily withdrew from the competition.
The second exam is chemistry.
Only 100,000 candidates were left to take the second exam. The scope of chemistry assessment is also very wide, from inorganic to organic, from biochemistry to chemical engineering, as long as it is related to chemistry. However, after two rounds of withdrawals, most of the candidates who took the chemistry exam chose to continue to challenge the later content.
Two weeks passed quickly, and on the last day of the exam, the content of the test was Chinese.
Standing on the stage of the Gold and Silver Hall, He Shouchen, President of the Federal University of Space, said to the last 30,000 contestants in the audience: "After layers of selection, all of you here are the best 30,000 talents in the whole space. Today we are going to take the Chinese test, and the exam topic is "Gene Therapy".
"Candidates have half an hour to write a poem on this topic. It can be a seven-character poem in the Sino-Tibetan language family, or a sonnet in the Indo-European language family. When the time is up, the system will automatically rewind. After that, I will personally rate everyone. ”
Wu Qiong and Bai Shuang hid at home to watch the live broadcast. The previous five exams were not live broadcast in the exam room, only the last exam, and the situation in the venue was unobstructed.
Bai Shuang patted Zhuang Mo's shoulder, and said with determination: "Little black brother, fortunately, the police station does not allow you to participate in the competition." Otherwise, you will be eliminated from the first exam! ”
Zhuang Mo rolled his eyes, Bai Shuang was hurting him, or was he hurting, or was he hurting!
Wu Qiong completely ignored Bai Shuang's flirting with the little policeman, he stared at the screen seriously, and said to himself: "Writing poetry is to be emotional, where gene therapy has emotional color, at most it can be used to write papers." ”
There are people all over the world who have the same idea as Wu Qiong, especially the candidates in the examination room, all scratching their ears and cheeks.
What kind of question did He Shouchen come up with, what kind of problem is the bull's head wrong with the donkey's mouth, which can also be called a topic?
This is different from the previous exams, although the previous exams were also difficult, but those are scientific theories, and they are objectively established facts.
And today's Chinese test is a subjective question that can no longer be subjective. The key final scoring criteria are also very subjective, and He Shouchen will score 30,000 people alone.
Subjectivity and objectivity aside, what kind of poems can be written with the words "gene therapy"?
He Shouchen also gave a perverted rule, seven-character poems and sonnets, and candidates can only choose one of these two genres to answer.
I've seen a pervert, I've never seen such a pervert!
In the end, all 30,000 people in the audience basically wrote a bunch of nonsense poems and handed them in, and then left the gold and silver hall one by two in despair.
Not all of the 30,000 people who persevered to the end were extremely capable. Most of them refused to accept their fate, wanting to see how difficult the question could be, and the number of people who could barely answer it in the end would not exceed 100.
No one can answer a question of this difficulty unless you cheat.
The results of the previous exams have been announced, and the results of the vast majority of people can only be described as miserable. However, there are also a very small number of outstanding young people who can answer more than 70% of the questions correctly.
Wu Qiong enlarged the picture and focused on the language answers of these young talents.
