A week later.

Earth Age has unfurled its massive light sails, officially breaking free from the Moon's gravitational pull and heading to Jupiter's industrial base.

The laser system at the lunar base, as well as the rays from the sun, will provide it with a constant source of power.

For the small society inside, it doesn't make much difference whether the spaceship is stationary or in motion.

A huge "basic ability level test" is about to be staged in all regions.

The "Star University" and "Deep Space University" in the spaceship have officially started recruiting students.

Of course, the current recruitment is all graduate students, and only a very small number of undergraduates are admitted, which is also feasible if some people really want to go back to college.

“…… You've all figured out what major you're going to take, right? ”

"If anyone does well in the exam, they can be officially transferred out of this low-level position, and they don't need to sweep the floor with me. Getting together is fate, and for the first student in our group, I will also give him a brand-name fountain pen brought from the earth! ”

Wang Xin took out a shiny pen and said to a group of team members.

The other seven were all recent college graduates, which means that he was in his early thirties.

"Brother Wang, you must be biased. With Zhang Yuan here, you might as well give it to him directly! ”

A girl shouted.

"yes, yes."

Zhang Yuan was a little embarrassed, in fact, everyone is a top student, and there is basically no kind of hanger.

It's just that after a long period of struggle, he has evolved into a scholar, not only smart, but also diligent, which is not comparable to others.

He hurriedly diverted the topic: "Brother Wang, what about you, aren't you going to take the exam?" ”

"I've been graduating for so many years, and I've long forgotten all that knowledge, what exams to take."

Wang Xin said with a smile: "I'll do some administrative work in the future, it doesn't matter if I hibernate earlier, anyway, my wife is here, and I don't have to worry about the earth." Everywhere needs talent, not just scientific talent, doesn't it? ”

Zhang Yuan nodded.

In fact, there are many experts and scholars, all of whom dragged their families on the spaceship. Of course, their families are basically just as good.

"But what kind of research do you want to engage in?"

"Space Plant Planting!"

"Ship Environment!"

"Hey, me, being a programmer is enough......"

……

"Zhang Yuan, what about you?"

Zhang Yuan was slightly confused, he actually liked mathematics, such as Professor Wang Zhong's research on "Far Abelian Geometry", or Xin Geometry, but these disciplines are epic sinkholes, and there are no particularly strong pure mathematicians in the current spaceship.

So if you think about it, you can only engage in the relatively general direction of "space mechanics". There are several well-known professors in these directions, and they have even met and interviewed beforehand.

Just like that, the bell rang, and Zhang Yuan walked into the examination room with everyone.

The "basic ability level test" is an important basis for applying for graduate school, although he has been selected by some professors, but the exam still has to be tested, so as not to be tongue-in-cheek.

He had four exams to take, the first of which was "Advanced Mathematics", which was a basic course that basically every candidate had to take.

The other three are informatics, basic algorithms, and political history.

"Candidates, please note that the test item in this examination room is advanced mathematics, and the test time is three hours, please turn off the communication equipment."

The invigilator said with a smile: "...... Now there are too many people in the spaceship, and it is a bit impossible to raise, and any cheating behavior will be recorded in the archives and forced hibernation will be arranged. ”

Suddenly, all the candidates became nervous and let out a sparse sound.

A few more candidates handed over their phones.

The test papers are down.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the title.

1. Let b=(√5-1)/2, and define the number series an: when [b*n] is an odd number, an=1; When [b*n] is an even number, an=-1, [x] is an integer function, and asks if Sn=∑an is bounded.

Hey, didn't you choose to fill in the blanks?

Zhang Yuan thought about it, but he didn't jump out of the idea of solving the problem for a while.

Only then did he come back to his senses, in fact, this kind of exam is no longer the kind of exam in college, which is to pursue the pass rate, but to pursue the "screening rate".

It's a little bit more difficult.

Interested in it, he began to cheer up.

It's all about mathematical analysis, and there's a limit to how hard it is.

For Zhang Yuan, the questions with answers are all paper tigers.

In the process, I really encountered a very powerful paper tiger.

The last finale question was quite technical, and it cost him ...... 10 minutes of time.

After about an hour, Zhang Yuan had already done all the questions. After a careful examination, I found no major mistakes.

After all, even scientific research papers have been published, and there is no great sense of accomplishment in completing these mathematical problems.

He opened his mouth wide and yawned.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yuan felt that there was no need to hand in the paper in advance, so he took a nap directly on his position.

He now has developed a very "bad" habit. In his bedroom, he always wants to work happily, bursting his liver overnight, and he can't stop.

He had tried to have a regular routine, but many times, time would slip away inadvertently, and it would be midnight in a blink of an eye.

This also leads to being always sleepy and wanting to sleep when you are away from home.

Anyway, in Zhang Yuan's subconscious, going out to participate in various activities is a last resort.

Sleeping and resting in a time of necessity is simply ...... It's so cost-effective!

……

In the corridor, several professors from Xingchen University and Deep Space University were inspecting the discipline of the examination room.

In a new civilization, the university, as the highest scientific research place, must be necessary, and it is the top priority of the entire civilization.

As for...... The purpose of dividing such a small population into two universities is to promote healthy competition among each other.

Without competition, there is no motivation.

"Lao Guo, your math problem is a little difficult. There were a few questions, and I was stuck a little bit. ”

A professor surnamed Fang said with a smile.

"It's difficult, it's differentiated!"

Professor Guo shook his head: "I only want to take genius students now, and I really don't want to waste time on mediocrity." You know, even the graduate students recruited by P are actually mixing their academic qualifications. ”

"Isn't P big enough to satisfy you?"

"It's the same even with the best universities, which are mostly stupid."

Guo Fan is a young professor at P University, engaged in the research of condensed matter physics, including but not limited to "light hysteresis technology", "topological superconductors", "topological semimetals" and other fields.

Jumping out of one of the top universities on the planet, he naturally has his own pride.

The two chatted as they walked forward, inspecting the various examination rooms.
