Chapter 69: Third Place
The five days passed quickly, and the final written test results came out.
Some rejoice, others grieve.
Together, the two universities admit only 6,000 graduate students, which is only one-fiftieth of the total of 300,000 undergraduates in the entire ship.
With a little apprehension, Zhang Yuan clicked on his exam transcript.
He regretted it a little now, he was sleeping during the exam......
However, soon, the moment I saw the results, this trace of regret disappeared, and the scores of the three professional courses were "149, 148, 147", sorted by equal difference number series.
He didn't know where the points were deducted.
"Maybe it's a roll?"
and the last subject, "Politics and History", on a 100-point scale, he really didn't prepare seriously, but just flipped through the syllabus randomly before the exam, so he only scored 81 points.
"The total score adds up, how many places should be ranked......"
Continue to look at the small print on the bottom line, [Space Mechanics Major Ranking: 3].
Zhang Yuan was happy in his heart.
The third-place result was a little better than expected, and I don't know who the top two are.
With such a professional achievement, coupled with the addition of that paper, it is theoretically possible to select very good teachers.
For the next interview, he is naturally worthy.
He immediately made a phone call to report to Professor Wang Zhong on Earth. At present, the spacecraft has just started, and the signal delay is within a few seconds, which is acceptable.
"Very good, good test!" In the video, Professor Wang Zhong was extremely happy, even happier than he won the award.
Immediately afterward, his expression became serious: "You want to continue your studies in space mechanics?" Decided? β
"Yes." Zhang Yuan nodded.
Professor Wang nodded: "Then, in the future, we will learn more physics knowledge, including mechanics, informatics and integrated circuits." There are a lot of good professors on the ship, but if we pick, we have to pick the best! β
"I'll help you see who the hell is......," Wang Zhong looked at a list.
"Just Academician Ding Zhaodong of the Wild Wolf Design Bureau, one of the chief designers of the 'Earth Era', what do you think?"
Zhang Yuan was taken aback, he had been in contact with several professors, but those teachers were not as good as Academician Ding's level.
Well, the title of the chief designer of the "Earth Era" alone can crush people to death, not to mention other messy academic achievements......
Moreover, Ding Zhaodong is the only few academicians in the spacecraft. The academicians here do not have real status and real power like they do on earth.
Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment: "It's good, it's good, Academician Dante shouldn't be enrolled, right?" He was very busy every day, and I never met him or communicated with him. β
"Don't be afraid."
Professor Wang saw his thoughts and waved his hand, "Everyone is young, who dares to conclude that your future achievements are lower than him Ding Zhaodong?" So there's nothing to be foolish about. β
"I'll say hello to him first, and you have to do the specific interview yourself. If you are compared to others, you can only blame yourself! β
Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded: "Okay, then trouble Professor Wang." β
He turned off the video, walked out of the doorway, and took a deep breath of fresh air.
When I raised my head, I saw the team leader Wang Xin hurriedly walking over.
"How's it going? Judging from the expressions of the others, I guess it is impossible to do better than you in the test...... I'll give you this little gift. β
With a 2% admission rate, it is normal for the rest to be admitted even if they are not admitted at all.
Zhang Yuan thought that Wang Xin was casually speaking, but when he took the pen and saw that it was gold-plated, he retreated, "Brother Wang, your gift is too valuable, I can't accept it." β
"Where is the preciousness, on the spaceship, can gold still be used as currency? It's just a little souvenir. Wang Xin said with a smile: "I took the first place, say it quickly!" β
"Third, there are two great gods pressing on it."
"Don't be so discouraged, as long as you have enough scores, you can get it back in an interview." Wang Xin nodded to himself and said.
"Wait a minute...... Clause...... Three? β
After a long time, Wang Xin, who came back to his senses, gasped, space mechanics is a big major, and there are many people who apply for the exam.
Third place is not easy!
He hurriedly changed his tone: "Little brother, you have a very promising future." I have a peerless secret book here, and after the completion of the book, I can kill a large number of difficult problems in seconds - "P into the TeichmΓΌller Theory", the author is Shinichi Mochizuki, on paper. Do you want to buy it? For five hundred dollars, it will be sold to you. β
There were a bunch of question marks in Zhang Yuan's head, why did this big brother Wang Xin have this kind of book in his hand, or a paper book. Everyone's share of carrying is limited, and it's wasted.
"Bring the ...... to quarrel" seemed to see his doubts, Wang Xin said secretly: "Whenever my wife wants to despise me with her high education, I will pick up the book and spit out some words......"
"Just talk about far-reaching Abel geometry, Grothendieck-universe, perfectoid space, and it will make her shut up immediately."
Zhang Yuan was suddenly a little speechless.
It turns out that it can still be like this.
A paper book of S$500 is actually not expensive, because the Earth Age does not produce such a thing at all, but his current level of mathematics may not be able to eat this book.
"Buy, buy, buy, not bad money! It's only 500 pieces. β
The two walked to the cafeteria, where the remaining six people in the same group were already waiting. When they heard that he had taken the third place in the exam, they were all envious.
"Hey, Zhang Yuan, you were admitted to graduate school, and you can finally get rid of your sweeping career. We're going to have to sweep the ground for another year and then go into hibernation. One of the friends said.
Wang Xin said: "Sweeping the floor is also work, doing research, management, and also work, is there any difference between superior and inferior?" Although the job of sweeping the floor is not important and can be handed over to the robot, it ......"
"But" for a long time, he couldn't say why.
The overall atmosphere was not very good, and many students worked hard to prepare for a long time, but in the end found that this road was a dead end. Nine times out of ten, life is like this, and there will be no change because of a change of environment.
"Okay, I'm in for a treat today, whatever you want to eat, you can eat whatever you want!" Zhang Yuan hurriedly played a round.
"What can you eat in a place like this?" Wang Xin smiled bitterly.
I ordered the dishes for a long time, and there was nothing to eat. The vegetables are okay, but the meat dishes are all synthetic meat. In addition, in order to reduce kitchen pollution, the robot's cooking method is basically based on steaming and boiling, without frying and stir-frying, so the dishes don't taste very good, and even the smell of oil smoke is very little.
"Isn't there 3D organ printing now? We can clone a few chicken thighs and eat them. One of the girls got rid of the mentality of not doing well in the exam and reluctantly allowed herself to smile.
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "3D organ printing? The cost of a chicken leg is 100,000 yuan, and I can only afford a chicken leg with all my belongings. Jing Xuan, if you sneak into the biology lab in the future, you can steal a few and give us a taste. β
"You want to be formalin?!" The girl surnamed Jing said with a smile.
"How is that possible? Biological organs are all cultivated in the sterile room, and the pure ones can't be more pure! β
"Alas, I really want to eat my mother's chicken legs!"
"So, that's what motivated you to be a biologist?"
Everyone laughed.
