Reborn in 2000 as a scholar

Lin Jinqi didn't try to persuade Professor Gao. Before he had any results, any lobbying seemed pale and powerless.So Lin Jinqi chatted with Professor Gao for a while, then said goodbye and left.At the time of evening self-study, basically the scores of the first mock test came out. After all, the scoring speed of the seven questions is still very fast, but it is a troublesome thing to determine the scores.

In the IMO (International Olympic Games) arena, a double-marking strategy is adopted, that is, the leading teacher of the country reads the test papers of the country, and at the same time, the organizing committee randomly arranges teachers from other countries to mark the test papers again.As long as there are standard answers and marking rules for subjects such as mathematics, the marks scored by any teacher are the same.However, if there is a difference in the scores of the two markings, a third marking will be initiated.The third grading was done by a group of professors hired by the competition organizing committee, so the three grading teachers were not alone.

As for whether the leading teacher of the country will cause unfair judgment of the test papers for the students of the country, then this is purely funny.Usually, the teachers who are responsible for leading the national Olympiad team are the top mathematics authorities in the country, and they already represent the face of a country's mathematics circle and even the whole country.They have professionalism and professional ethics. Is it worthwhile to use your own major and the country's face for a high school mathematics competition?

Similarly, the proposition teachers and marking teachers of the training team are also the top batch of mathematics masters in the country. Even if there are a few mouse shit among them, they will not be tricky among teachers of this level.Therefore, it can be said that the marking work is still very smooth, and the scoring is also very fair.

Sure enough, when the first evening self-study class was about to end, the team leader teacher issued everyone's report card.Everyone can see their own score and total score on each question. The score for a single question ranges from 0 to 7. If it is an asterisk, it means that the student has not answered the question.From the math teacher's point of view, although unanswered questions and completely wrong answers are not scored, but a wrong answer at least means that the candidate has still tried, so it seems to be a little bit higher than the students who did not answer the questions.

"The first mock exam will not announce the ranking of the whole class, but I can tell everyone that there are both full-score players and zero-score players in this mock exam."

When the word "zero-score player" was mentioned, the face of the leading teacher turned dark.There is no other reason. There is only one player with a full score, but there are almost 10 players with a zero score. This is a shame for the training team!In recent years, although the gold medals won by the Huaxia team are still about the same, the total score of the Huaxia team has been declining year by year.

IMO does not have a team ranking, but everyone defaults to adding up the total points of the six players as the overall score, and then they will know it by ranking silently.In recent years, I don’t know if all the major Mathematical Powers are “reversing water”. The traditional top five, China, the United States, Russia, Germany, and Romania, all rank relatively low in total scores, and even China, the United States, and Russia have Time did not enter the top three in the total score.

The top three overall scores of the last IMO were South Korea, Vietnam and Romania. Once the scores came out, the three countries of China, the United States and Russia were a little embarrassed.Especially the Huaxia team, it's okay to be bullied by the Vietnam team, but they were counterattacked by Japan, a weak team of ten thousand years.After everyone made this ranking in private, the teacher who led the team was almost so angry that he vomited blood.The Japanese team's results in the number of Olympic Games can hardly enter the first corps in the history of the number of Olympic Games, and it is also the existence of the tail of the crane in the second corps.As a result, they counterattacked Huaxia in the last game, which made the Huaxia team, a traditionally strong team, feel ashamed.Comparing the results of the Wu'ao, Hua'ao, and Sheng'ao brothers' teams next door, the Shu'ao team decisively chose to respond in silence.

"The teacher is here to strictly remind the players with zero points. If the next test is still like this, then you will basically miss the qualification for the national team! Alright, tomorrow the teacher will analyze the mock test paper for you all day answering ideas. Next, let’s continue to be careful.”

Lin Jinqi put away his report card, and the total score column above showed "42" points.Since there is a full-scoring player like myself, there should be other full-scoring players.Judging from the tone of the team leader teacher just now, there seem to be quite a few full-scoring players. Sure enough, the national training team is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.Lin Jinqi's beautiful misunderstanding lasted until the second mock test, but it also aroused his unwillingness to admit defeat, and he began to brush up the difficult test questions for a master's degree in mathematics.

At the end of the first evening self-study get out of class, several players who were acquainted with each other or from the same province were discussing one after another. The topic that everyone was most interested in was who was the perfect scorer.However, those players who were recognized as the strongest members of this training team all said that they did not get full marks, so everyone became confused.

It's a pity that Lin Jinqi is drinking water outside the classroom at this time, otherwise he would know that there are not as many perfect scorers this time as he imagined.But not long after this topic, everyone turned to the discussion on the difficulty of this topic.Everyone thinks that the difficulty of the IMO mock test questions is beyond imagination, but a few contestants think that the main reason is that everyone is not familiar with the sorting and connection of knowledge points, otherwise these questions are not as difficult as imagined.Because several contestants said that after thinking backwards now, they found that a few questions could actually be answered.

After the evening self-study was over, Lin Jinqi still ran three laps on the track and field.After returning to the dormitory from the track and field, Lin Jinqi went directly to the bathroom to take a shower with his bucket and change of clothes.

After taking a shower, I found that there were several people gathered in my dormitory.Everyone was discussing the solution to the fourth problem with the contestant from Yunnan Province, because the fourth problem seemed to be the most difficult problem recognized by everyone.In the second day's mock exam, the first question was so difficult that everyone was ashamed in the second day's exam.

The contestants from Yunnan Province scored 4 points in the fourth question, which is considered a high score for this question.The contestant from Yunnan province wrote out his answer process. Lin Jinqi looked at it and found that his thinking was basically correct, but it went in a big circle.Although it can be solved in this way in the end, the amount of calculation is too large, and a slight mistake will lead to an error in the final result.But Lin Jinqi didn't point out this question, he was just very interested to see how they finally answered it.

With the joint efforts of several training team members, they finally solved this question in about half an hour.Lin Jinqi looked at the final results and found that their answers were correct.It's just that if you put so much effort in answering this question, it's not worth the candle if you put it in the exam.However, Lin Jinqi still applauded and celebrated with everyone that this question was finally solved, so everyone went back to their dormitories with satisfaction.

And Lin Jinqi routinely checked his email before going to bed.In addition to work emails, there are also emails from some technical experts, and he also patiently discussed with them one by one.Among them, the few technical experts Lin Jinqi chatted with the most included Linus Torvalds (Linus Torvalds), the earliest creator of the Linux kernel and the chief architect of Linux, and several active members of the Mozil community.

Lin Jinqi's Optimization Wizard and Thunderbird Mail have been recognized by these software masters, but their only regret is that Lin Jinqi chose free authorization for Optimization Wizard, but Thunderbird Mail did not.Thunderbird Mail currently adopts the method of coexistence of "Personal Edition" and "Enterprise Edition". The Personal Edition allows users to use it for free, but the Enterprise Edition requires payment.

Although someone suggested that Lin Jinqi should also make Thunderbird Mail completely free, Lin Jinqi said that the core function of Thunderbird Mail - the anti-spam system maintenance cost is too high, and he has to charge a fee from the enterprise version to ensure that the personal version is free.But fortunately, everyone also made a suggestion, and there was no dispute over this.

"Lin Jinqi, your English is really good!" When Lin Jinqi sent the email, Wang Zetong, a contestant from Yunnan Province, just came back from the toilet. After seeing Lin Jinqi's full-screen English, he couldn't help but boast. "My English is too bad."

"In fact, learning English is not that difficult, one depends on interest, and the other depends on hard work." Lin Jinqi knew that Wang Zetong was not spying on him on purpose, so he continued to chat along Wang Zetong's English topic.

"Interest is the best motivation for learning. I study English hard because I am interested in computers. Because many software engineers or computer experts are from English-speaking countries, only by mastering English can I communicate with them. As long as you work hard to learn and memorize vocabulary, and then have the courage to communicate with people from English-speaking countries, your English improvement speed is actually very fast.

When I wrote English emails a year ago, I made a lot of grammatical mistakes, not to mention the problem of too long sentences, and sometimes even the tense was wrong.But after communicating with these people for a year, my grammatical mistakes have basically been corrected.And you know what?Many of them are from Nordic countries or other non-English-speaking countries, so I also learned some local English slang from them, which was very interesting. "

"That's really great." Wang Zetong looked at Lin Jinqi enviously.He suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Don't your parents think that you are wasting your study time by playing on the computer? I see some people next door say that you are playing with things and losing your mind."

"Arsenic|arsenic can be used as medicine, but eating can also choke or strangle people to death. What do you think should be done? If you control anything within a certain limit, it is actually harmless and even beneficial." Lin Jinqi replied Dao, "Take computers as an example, many people only see the entertainment functions of computers, such as watching movies, playing games and so on.

But even for entertainment, people need to relax, right?A person is tense all day, do you think he will collapse one day?Between rest, entertainment and work, as long as you allocate time and control the limits, they are actually mutually reinforcing.What's more, the computer is not an entertainment tool, it is also a learning tool and a scientific research tool.Believe it or not, by the time we graduate, not being able to use a computer is basically as 'illiterate' as not knowing how to write.In our generation, computer office is definitely achievable and will become the mainstream. "

"Knowledge of computers equals illiteracy?" Wang Zetong thinks this statement is a bit exaggerated. "Computers are so expensive, how can so many units buy them. But I think I still have to learn computers when I am in college. It should be very interesting."

Lin Jinqi did not discuss the future of computers with Wang Zetong, because he knew very well that in 2000, he did not expect that China in the 2010s was already the era of computer office, and paperless office gradually became the mainstream.Even in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, mobile office has gradually begun to rise, and the recession period of personal computers has quietly appeared.

While Lin Jinqi was receiving training camp, Jin Dongjun was also leading the "God King" project team to construct the world view and determine the characters.Since the whole story is born out of Nordic mythology, the nine worlds are the main world view.Asgard of the Assir Protoss and Vanaheim of the Vanir Protoss belong to the main world of Protoss players. The design of Asgard is gorgeous, and the style will borrow a lot from ancient Greece and Rome; while the style of Vanaheim is It is an exotic style, and the main design style refers to Mesopotamia and ancient Egyptian civilization.Players who choose the elves will find that their main world is located in Yalfheim, a world where flowers and jungles coexist.Of course, there is also the Atrium World of the Human Race, the Walter Alheim of the Dwarf Race, and the Jotunheim of the Giant Race.

Outside of these six main worlds, the remaining three worlds are adventure worlds, which are free zones that allow free fighting.This includes Niflheim controlled by frost giants and Muspelheim controlled by flame giants; and the most difficult underworld, where the biggest villain BOSS in the entire game, Hela, lives.

The main conflict in the whole world is between the Protoss and the Giants. Apart from the Asa Protoss and the Warner Protoss, the Protoss and the Dwarfs are all natural allies of the Protoss; while the Giants have Frost Giants and Fire Giants as allies, and Behind the scenes, Hela and the ghosts of the underworld.The human race is a neutral race and can join either the Protoss camp or the Giant race camp.

In addition to completing the background style setting and character setting, numerical balance is also very important.The reason why some are abandoned by players before they reach the public beta is simple, that is, the game values ​​are not designed to be balanced.Either the paying players are too strong, or the game itself is too difficult.Another is that the internal economy of the game cannot collapse at will, otherwise, once one or several items are reserved by powerful paying players, the economy of the entire server will be dragged down.

How to balance the changes of these values ​​is actually a very complicated and cumbersome design.In Lin Jinqi's view, the domestic game companies that have done the best in game numerical balance may be the giants.Don't look at "Zhengtu" being chased and scolded by players, but you can't deny that "Zhengtu" does not have a large number of paying players, which leads to game balance problems. On the contrary, it promotes the birth of new paying players and further payment.

And what surprised Lin Jinqi the most was that when the giant company announced that they were going to launch a "light-paying online game", they really did it. "Green Journey" and "Zhengtu" are basically the same in terms of gameplay and game settings, but players can obviously feel that "Green Journey" costs a lot less than "Zhengtu".So "Zhengtu" has become the choice of rich players, while "Green Journey" has become the choice of middle-class players.

It can be said that the giant has not only washed itself a little bit with "Green Journey", but also relied on "Green Journey" to wash away a wave of paying players, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.Giant's excellent performance in the numerical balance of the game is that their company's senior officials and key planners are all majored in mathematics or related majors. Because of their own sensitivity to numbers, the linkage performance between values ​​can be easily discovered by them.

Although Lin Jinqi doesn't have the technical support from the giant, he has the Xueba system.There is a small software in the lottery rewards of the Xueba system, which is called game value balance check. As long as the relevant value settings in the game are input, it can check the logic of the linkage between the values ​​and the change of its own value. rationality.

It's a pity that this is not the highest level reward, so Lin Jinqi only has this software but no research and development manual. Naturally, Lin Jinqi has no way to improve and upgrade this software.Fortunately, the encryption of this software determines that it can only be used by himself, so Lin Jinqi didn't say anything after throwing this small software to Jin Dongjun.

After Jin Dongjun used this to test the numerical balance of several games, he was astonished. He thought this software was Lin Jinqi's new invention, so his admiration for Lin Jinqi was raised to another level.It's a pity that Lin Jinqi, who was busy studying, didn't know that his fanboy danced him like this, but I guess he was only happy with Jin Dongjun's blind worship, right?

Fortunately, the size of the online game at this time is not large, and the maps and characters involved are also very limited, so the speed of building the game framework for Horizon Games is still very fast.According to Jin Dongjun's estimation, the internal trial version will be launched by the end of the year, and the internal test version should be completed by next summer.Jin Dongjun's idea is to do two small-scale internal tests during the summer vacation, then a wave of stress internal tests during the National Day holiday, followed by a public beta during the New Year's Day holiday, and finally officially launched in the New Year.

"What about our propaganda position?" Lin Jinqi suddenly thought of this embarrassing question.

Today's online games are actually mainly promoted through game magazines or computer newspapers, and the method of publicity is to mail game installation CDs and trial play cards.Faced with such an ancient way of propaganda, Lin Jinqi felt that it was impossible.Horizon Games is not a big company. If it wants to escape and grow under the mouth of the game giant that has just emerged, it must not take an unusual path.

"Why is there no 17173 and more games at this time?" Lin Jinqi couldn't help complaining.

But since there is no professional game portal website yet, this is a good opportunity for him to make a big splash in this field.
