Chapter Seventy-Three: Prepare, Run
There was a heavy rain on the last day of June, and it was the first rain after entering the rainy season.
The people of Black Rock City said that the first rain of the year was later than last year, and that it did not rain until the last day of June, as if it was going to rain enough after the rain that had been delayed for a while.
Not only did it push back the newly rising temperature, but it also replenished the water resources in the river.
But on the first day of July, as soon as the sun came out, it immediately showed its power, and after a while it dried the water on the ground, and it turned out that cooling down or something is an illusion, and high temperature is the protagonist of this season.
Dong Chen walked on the busy street, looking at the sweaty people, which made him feel a little hot.
But this is all his illusion, the close-fitting spacesuit inside the robe has already adjusted the temperature system to a very suitable temperature, so he has not sweated a drop on his body now.
Today is the day he went to the science and technology temple of the God of Science and Technology to conduct the assessment, and the time of the assessment was ten o'clock in the morning, without anyone as a companion or in a car, so he walked over leisurely.
Originally, the Advanced Mechanical Academy was not far from the branch of the Cult of Science and Technology, one next to the east of the central square, and the other a little west of the central square.
And Dong Chen felt that in fact, his speed was not slow, it was faster than the speed of some times.
Soon, Dong Chen walked through the small garden in the central square and came to the downstairs of the Cult of Science and Technology's building.
Originally, he had passed by this place several times but had no chance to enter, but a few days ago he finally got in with a letter of recommendation with Andorf's name and the rank of senior engineer of the Cult of Science and Technology.
But that time was to participate in the assessment and sign up for himself, or to send a letter in the name of Andorf, but this time, this is to come in for the assessment, and there is no need to take someone else's name and fake it.
There are still four barbarian guards with full armor at the door, and they are all two meters eight tall with the armor, and they still wear them like this in the summer, which is really amazing.
After letting the doorman look at his assessment permission, Dong Chen entered the gate of the Black Rock City Science and Technology God Cult Branch Building.
However, it is not the end of entering the door, Dong Chen has to pass through an aisle after he comes in, and there is another level in the aisle.
Once inside, the guards were replaced by heavily armed humans, and it was only the aisle that the temperature was already a little lower than outside, because there was a hollow design on the walls here every other section, and the cracks in the hollows were constantly bubbling out with a slight coolness.
Dong Chen has seen it in thermal imaging mode, and he has seen the staff open it last time, and there is an ice box inside, and the ice box is filled with ice cubes, which will be changed every once in a while.
It's a luxury to think about, and there's this kind of installation in this whole building.
In this hallway, there is a window on the left and right hand sides, and behind the window is a large room with many lattices on the wall.
Dong Chen handed over his assessment permit, and then the counter staff instructed the people inside to find an A4-sized avatar sketch from a corresponding grid, looked at Dong Chen, and let him in after confirming that it was Dong Chen.
This sketch portrait was drawn when he came to sign up that day, Dong Chen saw it on the spot, and the painting was quite standard, especially Dong Chen's bald head, which is extremely distinctive.
Even the painter who drew the sketch head said that it was still the first time to draw a bald head, and it was a memorable day.
Dong Chen can be regarded as having seen the world, so he is not amazed by the furnishings and arrangements in the hall, but judging from this brilliant decoration, the Cult of Science and Technology is indeed a very profitable organization.
According to the guide, Dong Chen took the steam-powered elevator next to the hall to the third floor, where was their examination room this time.
This kind of elevator uses a metal fence gate, and it is relatively shaky when it is opened, in Dong Chen's opinion, the technology is very primitive, but the artistry can be sure.
Because the people of the Cult of Science and Technology decorate it very exquisitely, there are a lot of carvings and iron on the fence gates, and they are obviously very satisfied with this elevator, and the current technical upgrade is limited, so they can only work on the artistry.
Dong Chen arrived on the third floor, and after finding the room as the examination room, the time was only half past nine, he thought that he was not too late, but after coming in, he found that the vast majority of people had already arrived.
And he also found that his face was so tender...... No, it's really young.
Although his actual age is older than anyone present, his face is very young, and even when he registers his identity, he is 25 years old this year.
The person who registered did not doubt it at all, and said as he wrote, "I have been doing this for so many years, and I have long practiced the skills of my eyes, and I saw that you were 25 years old, and it was true." ”
And Dong Chen said with a look of adoration, "You are so amazing!" ”
Before he came to the exam, he felt that there should be a group of people who looked like college graduates in this examination room, and it happened that the reserve academy in this world graduated in June, and he studied at home for a month, just to take the official reserve quota, so his "25-year-old" person is definitely not a young age here.
When he saw these people in the exam room, he realized that he had made a mistake, and he underestimated the difficulty of the exam.
He himself can read it in a short time and master it completely, but others are different.
Dong Chen even saw a middle-aged and elderly man with gray hair, and the wrinkles on his face reminded Dong Chen that it was definitely not a little white.
The examination room was quiet, there were thirty tables in total, twenty-eight before, and now twenty-nine with him, and there was still one person left.
No one spoke here, and Dong Chen walked straight to the seat corresponding to his number.
Then look around the exam room and wait for the papers to be issued.
Because he found that although he could not speak, he could look around, as long as the movement was not too big, after all, the exam had not yet begun.
The position of each seat is quite far away, and you must not look around after the exam starts, plus five invigilators, the possibility of cheating is completely eliminated.
After less than two minutes of waiting, the last person arrived.
As soon as he came in, almost everyone subconsciously looked at the door, and Dong Chen was no exception.
At first glance, it turned out to be an "acquaintance".
"This is not the sister who sings in the tavern outside Linwai Village...... Dude? He even came to participate in the reserve assessment? ”
This discovery surprised Dong Chen, and his fingers moved slightly on the desktop, allowing Tianshu to scan the "Danjiao" brother who had just come in, and the scanned information really matched.
"This is interesting," Dong Chen whispered at the "Danjiao" brother who came in and said, "Did he go to sing to raise assessment fees?" ”
"In that case, he's really a person who loves to learn."
Dong Chen also found that from the perspective of physiognomy, as soon as this person came in, he was not the youngest, this one looked younger than him, I don't know if it was because of his young age, or because of his innate advantage.
However, Dong Chen was not allowed to think about it too much, and after the "Brother Danjiao" came in, a young looking invigilator came in with a bag of test papers, "Okay, since everyone has arrived in advance, then there is no waiting for the scheduled time." ”
The invigilator looked at the exam room that became a little flustered because of his words, and said with a smile, "Life is like this, and it won't give you enough time to prepare every time." ”
"It's all quiet, if it's noisy, but you're going to be disqualified."
"Now on, exams."
