Chapter 3: Race Ahead

For the next two days, Yan An was addicted to learning and couldn't extricate himself.

When you are tired of learning, you can knock on the code to relax, and when you are tired of writing the code, you can read the question bank and think about how to solve the problem.

In two days, Yan An successfully mastered the phase jump algorithm and the complex phase sex algorithm.

Although he has not officially announced these technologies yet, as Yan An uses them, more people will know about them, which is equivalent to completing the public announcement.

According to the rules, BT quickly packed the three technologies and sent them out randomly.

Yan An had no objection to this, and it seemed that he had given someone else the technology that should belong to him.

But he knew very well that the existing technologies of the Blue Dome Star were tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

If it were all up to him to promote, he might not have reached the first level of civilization until he died, let alone build a spaceship to go home.

On Monday morning, Yan An was woken up by a rapid phone ringing, and answered the phone sleepily.

At the other end was the teacher's question: "What about you?" I didn't reply to a message for two days, what's the situation, don't participate in the competition, right? ”

After saying that, he didn't give Yan An time to react, and hung up after leaving a sentence asking him to come to the computer room quickly.

Yan An suddenly fell asleep, and when he looked at his mobile phone, he found that he had more than a dozen missed calls in the past two days.

Not only the teachers, but also the seniors who participated in the competition on the same team, not only that, but there were also forty or fifty text messages.

"BT: What's going on?"

He told BT not to disturb him when he was studying, but he didn't expect things to develop like this, and it stands to reason that BT should help him deal with it.

Quickly get up and wash up, BT explained to him in a cold, mechanical voice.

"Your Excellency, in view of your Do Not Disturb request during the study period, I did not notify you of the news as soon as possible, but focused on reporting back to you while you were eating.

On October 26, at 12:30 p.m., at 16:30 p.m., and on October 27 at 1:10 p.m., I reported to you that there was a build-up of unprocessed messages. ”

After such a reminder, Yan An suddenly recalled that it seemed to be true.

It's just that at that time, he was immersed in his studies, and even when he was eating, he thought about the solution to the problem, and after listening to BT's report, he casually agreed to it and left it behind.

It's really his own problem, Yan An didn't complain, grabbed the USB flash drive and rushed out the door.

When he arrived at the school computer room, it was unusually full, making him almost think that he had gone to the wrong classroom.

Teacher Zhang frowned when he saw him, but he didn't say anything, motioned for him to sit down and handed out a stack of papers.

"As I told you before, there are only a limited number of places in the ACM competition, and our school only participates in one division, so there are a maximum of three places.

Two of them are to be assigned to juniors, who are the main force in winning the place. Then choose a team from among you to experience the atmosphere.

Originally, the hospital planned to wait until November 1st to let you compete internally and win the competition.

But the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the hospital temporarily decided to bring the time of internal competition to today.

The winning team stays with the juniors to continue training, and the other teams can rest for a while. ”

Sitting in the audience, Lin Jing, whose expression was relaxed and comfortable, suddenly became nervous, and looked at the teacher and Yan An in a daze.

Their team was already worse than others, and the original team members had to take a year off school because of illness.

Although the substitute Yan An is diligent, the study time is still short, and he didn't know why he didn't come to the computer room for training two days ago.

Even he, who is the captain, feels that there is a gap with other teams, and there is little hope of winning.

I was still thinking about trying to catch up in the last few days, but before he started, the competition was ahead of schedule.

"You didn't answer the phone no matter how I called you." Senior Sister Liu Xi whispered to him.

"I heard a little wind before, and I wanted to ask you to come back and train together, but you don't know where to run."

Because there is one less person in the team, it is inconvenient to compare the training results, only if there is a vague concept in everyone's hearts, Lin Jing always feels that they are much worse, and even their self-confidence is lost after being hit in the past two days.

Yan An scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, senior sister, I've been so engrossed in learning new structures and new algorithms in the past two days, I haven't looked at my phone much." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jing was about to despair, "This is about to be a competition, and you still want to learn a new algorithm?" You're not going to play at all. ”

The most taboo thing they do before the game is to learn new algorithms, and as a team with an average level, it is embarrassing to not be able to go up or down.

It's a good thing for the players to study hard in order to catch up with other teams, but this is also a scoring situation, and what they need most in the game is to lay a solid foundation, which is also emphasized by the teacher.

But how did Yan An do it, his left ear went in and out of his right ear, and he didn't take their plan into account at all.

I think that learning a new algorithm will come in handy, but in fact, it is easy to pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons in this way.

I barely remembered the new algorithm, and when I got to the game, I found that the old algorithm had forgotten it, or the new and old algorithms were mixed up to spell out a four.

He did this because he made it clear that he didn't want this opportunity, and he and Liu Xi had been preparing seriously for so long.

Lin Jing threw the topic aside, and leaned back in the chair, "Why don't we give up?" Anyway, the competition is also to play soy sauce to experience the atmosphere, and there will be a chance next year. ”

He didn't want to say anything more about Yan An, after all, everyone saw his efforts during this time, and he fought harder than them.

It's just that some problems can't be solved by hard work, if the effort and the benefit can be proportional, then what do you have to do, as long as you learn to make progress, then he would like to die on the desk.

Everyone's ability is not on the same level, and the competition in advance can be directly understood as their early exit, and then trying to tell the truth has little effect.

"If you give up this year, then even if you participate in the competition next year, if we meet people from Shenjiao and Mizuki University, we can't compete and give up directly?"

Among the schools in China that participated in the ACM competition, Shenjiao and Shuimu were the strongest, and although Yan An's Nandu University attached great importance to this competition, it could not even squeeze into the top ten in the regional competition in previous years.

According to the senior's rotten idea, then what are they compared to, anyway, they can't compete with the teams of these two universities, wouldn't it be easier to give up directly.

"I don't think it's difficult to talk about this topic, and we still have hope if we work harder." Yan An said after quickly reading the question.

Thanks to these two days of study and his own efforts, although these problems are difficult, they have not yet reached the point where they are completely impossible to start, and even the most difficult one can be solved by using a complex algorithm.

Lin Chen, who had the highest level of skill among the nine, put down the topic and glanced at him after hearing this, his expression clearly suspicious that he was talking big.

These questions do not seem difficult, but in fact, each question is very exquisite, and it is not enough to be able to write it, and the steps are also very important.

Some people need to type dozens or even hundreds of lines of code to write the same problem, while others can solve it with only fifteen lines.

In the impression, Yan An should belong to the former.

Lin Chen didn't care about what he said, and he would know how much ability he had later.

His immediate priority is to clear his mind and tackle the last three questions, during which his teammates will tackle other relatively easy questions.

"Will you write the last five questions?" Liu Xi has also read the title, and she can see the simple ones at a glance, and the slightly more difficult ones also have a general direction.

As for the last five questions, she couldn't even find the direction.

Lin Jing has always been the attacker in the team, responsible for dealing with relatively difficult topics.

And her level is only better than Yan An, and she is responsible for assisting Lin Jing to expand her ideas.

At this moment when the forest scene is rotten, Liu Xi can't solve the remaining five problems by himself, just when she is worried, Yan Anlai's sentence made her see hope again.

Yan An reviewed the last five questions again, made sure that the solution ideas were clear and clear, and then nodded in confirmation, "No problem, I can handle it, senior sister, you can deal with other questions first." ”

After saying that, he typed up the code on the computer, and Liu Xi didn't look like he was fooling people, so he had to focus on other topics.

The entire computer room was gradually drowned out by the sound of keyboard tapping, and as everyone gradually entered the state, everyone's faces were serious.
