Chapter 348 Beating up the children

"No way? Is it that terrible? The gap is so big that I suddenly have doubts about whether I can become a computer expert in the future."

"It's really scary. I thought they were strong enough to answer the first question, but I didn't expect them to get faster and faster. Now we should not discuss whether they can win the championship, but how long it will take them to finish answering all the questions, right?"

"Indeed, it is only when you see a peerless genius in person that you can feel that feeling of powerlessness."

The competition venue of Qihang Theater was filled with all kinds of discussions.

But the ranking scrolling on the big screen remains the same.

[Are you here to compete for second place? ]

The team name is like being branded at the top of the big screen. Combined with the team name, it is like God looking down on all living beings.

But the most exaggerated thing is the number of answers behind the team name.

The number of answers displayed on the big screen are the number of questions that have been certified as correct by the technical team.

The most exciting part of the World Finals in previous years was actually the fluctuation in the number of questions in the final stage.

If you let ordinary audiences look at the code they wrote, there is a high probability that they will not understand anything.

Only the achievements represented on the big screen are the focus that the public can understand and pay attention to.

In fact, every year there will be a team that keeps working hard right before the end and finally surpasses the ranking. Those moments are particularly exciting.

There were even some who overtook their opponents in the last minute and won the championship by taking advantage of their opponents’ more penalty time.

But all this became a foregone conclusion in today's game.

Because the second-ranked team has only answered 3 questions.

But the Demon King team ranked first has already completed answering 5 questions.

And some careful people found that the speed at which this team answered questions seemed to be gradually increasing as the competition progressed.

They didn't know that when Xu Qingshan was sitting in front of the computer and controlling Yang Shu to answer the questions remotely, his mouth was almost splitting with laughter.

He didn't even know what the ACM-ICPC question-setting team was thinking this year.

The game was postponed for two months, and I thought he was going to use some big moves, but it turned out to be an extra cheat for himself?

Except for the first two questions which were relatively conventional, the following questions all followed up on the most cutting-edge basic algorithmic problems in machine learning.

For more students who are still studying theory and practicing algorithms, solving these practical engineering problems in this way can be very stressful.

But for Xu Qingshan, these things are just the leftovers from his playing.

This is truly a dimensionality reduction attack.

He even stopped sitting in front of the computer and fighting himself, and directly assigned the task to Yang Shu, while he operated the situation behind the scenes.

You should know that the members of the ACM-ICPC question-setting group and the members who organize the competition are not the same group of people, so the question setters did not know that Xu Qingshan was also participating in the competition.

When others play in a competition, perhaps a little too much, they are both players and referees.

When Xu Qingshan plays in a competition, he is directly the source of the questions.

Computer problems and Chinese language problems are very different, so it is impossible for the original author to not know his or her own intention.

This made these questions seem like ready-made answer formulas in Xu Qingshan's eyes.

Beat up children.

This is the first social lesson Xu Qingshan teaches these computer science students.

Xu Qingshan let Yang Shu go up.

The original intention was to train this interesting young man. I had the standard answers in my hand and could point out his problems at any time.

Jiang Huanxi, who was standing by, was calculating the algorithms for the next two big questions in advance.

He can take over at any time and guarantee his group's championship status.

But he was surprised to find that he seemed to have underestimated Yang Shu and his own comrade Xiao Jiang.

Yang Shu’s speed is not slow at all and his accuracy rate is very high.

Although the ideas and steps in some places may be a bit too cumbersome, the final output result is still correct and can pass the oj judgment.

Xiao Jiang is even more amazing.

You know, during the last competition, Xiao Jiang was just there as a bystander.

But this time, Yang Shu hasn't finished the first four questions yet.

Jiang Huanxi had already completed the algorithm framework for the last two major questions and verified his ideas. Seeing that Xu Qingshan and Yang Shu were not finished yet, he began to try to fill in the program code himself.

The self-taught strong are so terrifying, and those who study mathematics do have universal talents in science and engineering.

There is no suspense.

There is no possibility of a comeback.

Even in the second half of the time, Xu Qingshan suddenly felt that even if he and Jiang Huanxi did not come to participate, Yang Shu alone seemed to be able to complete the legendary operation of the leader of Huaqing Tower and challenge an entire team alone.

So to say.

Instead, its own light was too bright, which overshadowed the light of the poplar tree.

And this kid Yang Shu doesn't seem to care about these at all. Xu Qingshan really likes this kind of guy who only focuses on technology and interests.

He had already started thinking about how to get Yang Shu into his laboratory team.

but.

It is likely that it will be difficult to pass Mei Hong.

In the arena, some teams looked at the team name on the big screen with unwillingness and despair in their eyes.

These teams have been preparing well for a whole year to become the championship contenders. They have a deep understanding of each other and can even predict their opponents' answering rhythm.

But in the end, it was the team from Capital University that emerged out of nowhere and ended everything with an unsurprising result.

If it's not the first place, there is no difference between the gold medals.

Even the gap between the gold and silver awards is not that big.

Before the competition time was up, Xu Qingshan's team had already finished answering all eleven questions, and with their terrifying record of answering all eleven questions without any penalty time, they firmly secured the first place.

"This is really the least suspenseful and interesting competition. I only felt the taste of terror in this game."

"If they still participate next year, we won't come. It's boring, too boring."

"I don't even know what the point of reporting this game is now."

Before the players even said a word, the coaches of the teams aiming to win the championship were already wailing and expressing their anger towards the technical working group staff.

As for the contestants, each of them was still trying to solve one more question in the last ten minutes.

At the last moment, when everyone’s scores are similar, sometimes trying one more question can help you jump from a bronze medal to a silver medal, even if you get more penalty time.

There were all kinds of things going on in the venue.

Xu Qingshan and his team were so relaxed that after they finished answering the questions, they went to the rest area to rest, ate some desserts and drinks sent by the working group, and enjoyed the various scenes in the venue until the end of the competition.

At the award ceremony, only Xu Qingshan's team was full of smiles, while the other teams receiving gold medals all had gloomy faces.

I don’t know if it’s because they were influenced by Xu Qingshan’s team, or if that’s just their strength.

The team that won the gold medal this time not only completed the same number of questions, but also had almost the same completion time. It is very likely that they could overtake each other with just one or two penalty points.

The originally exciting championship battle was immediately killed by Xu Qingshan and his team.

Standing on the stage, Xu Qingshan took the microphone as the team leader.

"Now please invite the champion team from Jingcheng University to give their acceptance speech."

The host didn't even dare to pronounce the name of Xu Qingshan and his team.

Xu Qingshan held the microphone, thought for a moment, and spoke concisely.

"I think some people may not recognize me yet, so let me introduce myself briefly. I am Xu Qingshan from Jingcheng University. I proved the twin prime conjecture last year. And the conspicuous Bao who was drinking and hip-hop dancing at ICML is me."

“I am very happy to participate in this competition, but I will not participate in the next one.”

Xu Qingshan's words were like thunderclaps from a clear sky. The originally mixed looks from the audience were all suddenly filled with shock.

Those strong teams that had originally had gloomy faces and were reluctant, with the word despair written on their faces, suddenly became full of life like a dead tree finding a boat.

"The answering experience was good, the questions were well chosen, and the contestants were very passionate. I was very happy."

However, Xu Qingshan's speech had a strong flavor of that of a senior leader.

Most of those who can come here are geniuses, and geniuses tend to be arrogant.

But the next second, the arrogance of these geniuses turned into respect for teachers.

"I recently established a new mathematics and computer research team at Beijing University, and I have close cooperation with many world-class machine learning research teams at Beijing University's Information Technology Center. The latest results should be published soon."

"If there are students who have participated in the ACM-ICPC competition and are interested, you can contact me after you get a place in the graduate school and study under me."

Xu Qingshan paused, then looked at the group of coaches and spoke in English.

"If there are coaches who are interested in my work, you are welcome to join my team as a researcher. One person, one position, one salary. Salary is negotiable. Thank you."

Not to mention the contestants, even the coaches started whispering among themselves.

Chairman William and President Liu of Ice City University of Engineering, who were still smiling and standing aside, had their smiles become a little stiff.

This guy actually turned the podium into a recruitment site.

Afterwards, Xu Qingshan enthusiastically showed everyone the way to the email address of his research team, and he made sure that his efforts were not wasted.

After this somewhat absurd and informal ending, this boring global finals was truly declared over, and all teams set out on their journey home.

But Xu Qingshan and the others were unable to leave immediately.

Because Principal Liu kept them for one more day and wanted to treat them.

In the private room, Principal Liu was drunk and his face was red. He shook his head and smiled bitterly as he toasted Xu Qingshan with a glass of wine and said.

"Xiao Xu, you are the only young man who has admired me over the years. You really know how to have fun, but my old bones can't stand your torture."

"We at Bingcheng University of Engineering put a lot of effort into this competition, but we didn't expect it to be such a sure-fire success."

Principal Liu continued to complain.

Xu Qingshan understood.

Things have been done, and complaining at this time is nothing more than seeking some benefits or compensation.

They definitely have no shortage of money, but it is impossible for me to give myself to them.

There is only one answer.

Xu Qingshan took the glass of wine from Principal Liu with a big smile and drank it up quickly.

"Thank you, Principal Liu, for taking care of us and allowing me to be so willful on stage."

"If there is anything I can help with in military projects in the future, Principal Liu, just ask. I will do as much as I can. In terms of military projects, I will definitely give priority to cooperating with you."

Xu Qingshan poured himself another glass and put his arm around Principal Liu's shoulder.

"Come! Drink! It's all in the wine!"

Principal Liu was a little confused after hearing this, but was dragged by Xu Qingshan to drink a few more glasses.

"Eh? Is that what I meant?"

Principal Liu asked in a daze, but Xu Qingshan heard nothing.

A banquet in which both the host and the guests had a great time.

The next day, Xu Qingshan flew back to Jingcheng University. A new banner had been hung in the school to celebrate Jingcheng University's successful victory in the ACM-ICPC Global Finals. This victory was the first time that Jingcheng University won the ICPC event.

Xu Qingshan and the other two were taken to the school gate to take a group photo.

Even Lao Mei shamelessly came over to take a few photos, and even wore his most handsome suit.

"Meiyuan, how is the Xinke Center doing?"

During the break, Xu Qingshan asked Mei Hongdao who was still looking at herself in the mirror.

Mei Hong stopped what he was doing, with an exaggerated expression, and pulled Xu Qingshan's arm.

"You really didn't make those things yourself? How could those stupid foreigners be so efficient? Let me tell you, if we made something ourselves, there's no need to use their name. Although our Beijing University of Science and Technology is not very famous, I, Mei, still have some face."

"Hey, Mei, you are really looking down on us. They did the work. I just helped to explain a few key points. What about the vision? If we have a bigger vision and make the pie bigger and stronger, we will attract more capable and stupid foreigners. Wouldn't our Beijing University's international rating also rise?"

Xu Qingshan was angry at Mei Hong for not fighting back and said a few words to him.

At this time, it was unclear who the dean was.

"Those are all heavyweight achievements. I think at least three or four of them can win the Best Achievement or Best Paper award. If all the credit goes to our Institute of Information Science and Technology and the Center for Information Science and Technology, we will be world-class by the end of this year."

Mei Hong said with a sour tone in his mouth.

Xu Qingshan smiled and patted his shoulder, comforting him.

"Aren't I here with you? Why are you in such a hurry? As long as we are here, how can our Beijing University of Information Science and Technology not be world-class? In a few years, the world's top universities cannot do without us. And don't worry, although the project is named after their research group, Beijing University is also a core partner. When there is any evaluation, Beijing University will also have a share."

"Oh, all right."

Mei Hong nodded and accepted it.

Suddenly, he thought of something and turned to talk to Xu Qingshan.

"By the way, did Lao Liu entertain you during your trip to Bingcheng this time?"

"Yes, we had a great time drinking, and we also agreed that we can cooperate on any military projects later."

"Ah? Cooperation? But Lao Liu will be transferred to our Beijing University School of Information Science and Technology next semester, right?"

"what?"
