When I woke up the next day, there was a new message on my phone.

From Bo Hanting: [Play well]

She couldn't help but curl her lips, still very taciturn.

At the opening ceremony today, the President of Princeton University and the International Physics Olympiad Committee made speeches and announced the competition procedures.

There are more than a hundred countries participating this time. When the flag was raised, the flag of K, the country that won the gold medal last time, was flying at the highest point. When seeing the flag of China mixed in with more than a hundred countries, the dazzling The red color is almost gone.

When seeing this scene, Qin Jingyu, Chen Shaochuan and He Qian all had the same idea in their hearts, which was to bring the flag of China closer to the front. The most central position was their efforts this time. direction.

The Olympiad exam is divided into four days.

Preliminaries, semi-finals, individual experiments, and this year’s new team experiment competition.

Both the preliminaries and the semi-finals are written examinations.

This year there is a new team experiment, which involves two contestants working together as a team. The Huaguo team’s team experiment involves the cooperation of Qin Jingyu and Chen Shaochuan.

After the opening ceremony, Qin Jingyu met Professor Thomas who was at the lecture yesterday. He was in the Security Committee with the school leaders.

He was deeply impressed by Qin Jingyu and saw her at a glance, "Qin."

Qin Jingyu also politely said: "Professor Thomas."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Professor Thomas came over and handed him a note, "You left in a hurry yesterday. I have another international lecture on twin primes at six o'clock on Sunday evening. I hope you can come to attend. If you are interested, , when the time comes, you will enter with this invitation letter."

Qin Jingyu took the invitation blankly.

Thomas wanted to say something else, so his assistant stepped forward and said a few words in his ear, "I'm sorry Qin, the Olympic Committee still needs my company. I hope to see you in the lecture then."

As soon as Thomas left, teams from other countries started talking.

"Who is that, who can actually win the favor of Professor Thomas?"

"Are you a contestant from China? What's your origin?"

"Amazing."

"That kind of invitation letter is not something ordinary people can get. Could it be that China has brought experts here this time?"

"..."

Qin Jingyu looked at the invitation in his hand.

He Qian came up and said in surprise: "Wow Qin Jingyu, it's such an honor for Professor Thomas to invite you personally."

Chen Shaochuan was a little envious, after all, he didn't.

Shen Tu looked at the invitation and said, "International lectures, admission is based on invitation. These lectures are all invited by Professor Thomas and are about academic leaders. Students should not be invited."

Qin Jingyu instantly felt that the invitation in his hand had weight: "So, I was the only one who received it?"

Assistant Professor Wang said with a smile: "I think you should be the only one among the more than 100 participating teams to receive it."

Shen Tu looked around and found that the coaches of the other national teams were very surprised by the invitation letter Thomas handed to Qin Jingyu. It seemed that they understood about the same thing as him. He pushed up his glasses and said, "No surprise, it should be like this. of."

"Take it. It is indeed a privilege for you to receive the invitation letter. After the team competition on Sunday, you can attend this lecture."

Qin Jingyu nodded and stuffed the invitation into his school bag.

The lecture of an international nature is different from the one yesterday. It should be more profound.

In the afternoon, the group rested in the hotel and prepared for tomorrow's preliminaries.

The three of them had agreed before that when they arrived at Princeton University, they would no longer be able to write questions inwardly. Maybe it was the opening ceremony in the morning, and they were stimulated by the scene with the Chinese flag behind them.

As a result, during the meal, everyone had a test paper in hand. Typical people promise not to get involved, but end up working secretly behind the scenes.

He Qian smiled awkwardly, "Haha, I'm just bored in the room, reading the questions."

Qin Jingyu curled his lips: "What a coincidence, so do I."

He Qian: "..."

Chen Shaochuan snorted, "Hypocritical."

Qin Jingyu: "..."

Okay, she admitted that she was secretly working hard behind her back, what's wrong?

He Qian: "Oh, forget it. It just so happens that I don't know a question. Can these two masters answer my questions?"

……

Preliminary round, from 9am to 12am, three hours of written test.

After Shen Tu gave instructions on what to pay attention to, the three of them went to their respective examination rooms.

Before leaving, Chen Shaochuan said coldly to Qin Jingyu: "Those who have not passed the preliminaries are not qualified to be my partner."

Qin Jingyu squinted her eyes and clicked her tongue. This boy was as dumb as ever. After getting to know him for a month or two, she could understand that what Chen Shaochuan actually meant was to prevent her from being eliminated in the preliminaries.

As a result, because the dog's mouth really couldn't spit out ivory, the words that came out had a different taste.

There are only about twenty people in an examination room, and the gap between each seat is very large. There are three invigilators, and front and rear cameras monitor the whole process. Except for pens, other things are not allowed to be brought, but there are water dispensers and snacks in the examination room for candidates to replenish their energy. and moisture, which shows the rigor and humanity of the International Olympiad.

She glanced at the contestants in the examination room, and there was no one she knew.

After the papers were handed out, she felt the pressure of the International Olympiad. This was just the preliminaries, and the questions were more difficult than the previous ones.

But it's difficult, which makes it more challenging.

Time passed by minute by second, and when she finished the entire written test, she realized that it was almost time to hand in the paper.

If placed in China, she would have at least half of her time left.

After a quick inspection, it was time to wind up.

When she came out of the examination room, she heard that she was not the only one who found it difficult. Competitors from different countries around her were complaining in their own national languages ​​about the difficulty of the questions set by the International Olympic Organizing Committee. Top physics students from all over the world gathered here.

This was the case in the preliminaries, and she could imagine how incredibly difficult the semifinals would be.

As soon as they gathered, Assistant Teacher Wang couldn't wait to ask them how they did in the exam.

He Qianyan was upset because the questions she complained about were too difficult. She only solved half of the last question before withdrawing the paper. She hoped she would be lucky enough to enter the semi-finals.

Qin Jingyu also said: "I don't know, I'm not sure."

Because the questions in the written test were indeed more difficult than she imagined.

Chen Shaochuan frowned and said nothing.

Assistant Coach Wang sighed, having a bad feeling that the Chinese nation might not have been completely wiped out in the preliminaries this time.

Then won't the new coach Shen Tu be in trouble when he returns to China?

Wang Qiang glanced at Shen Tu and found that Shen Tu was still smiling slightly, and even comforted him: "Don't worry about it after the exam. Thank you for your hard work. Whatever you want to eat for lunch, I will treat you to a big meal."

Assistant Wang gave this mental quality a thumbs up in his mind.

He Qian wanted to cry: "Coach Shen, I can't eat. And you don't know, there are still contestants who submitted their papers in advance in our examination room."

Qin Jingyu and Chen Shaochuan heard this and asked at the same time: "Who?"

He Qian: "Ethan."

When Qin Jingyu heard this, he took a deep breath. Sure enough, there is a world outside the world, and there are people outside the world. After all, she was too confident in herself. She thought she had no rivals at home, so she thought she had no rivals in the international Olympics where masters gathered!

Ethan is worthy of being the last gold medal winner! ! !
