Chapter 375 Crazy Summer Camp
"what?"

Xu Qingshan's words were like thunder.

The students in the classroom were excited about Xu Qingshan's arrival because they could see him in person and had the opportunity to join his team to do scientific research.

As a result, Xu Qingshan's unexpected opening remarks were completely beyond everyone's expectations.

"Quiet."

Xu Qingshan raised his hand and patted the podium gently.

The originally quiet sound, due to resonance, echoed in every corner of the classroom through the microphone. Xu Qingshan glanced at the students' reactions in the classroom.

"Today I see that everyone seems to be very happy to be here, so I'm sorry to say that I may have to be the bad guy for once."

Xu Qingshan had a smile on his face, but the words he said made these young people shudder.

"There are 312 people here now, but only 12 of them will be able to stay and join my team."

"Just right, just take the last two digits."

Xu Qingshan smiled.

But the students in the audience couldn't laugh.

26:1 ratio.

It seems that the competition is quite fierce. What's more, everyone who can sit here has already obtained a place in graduate school in his or her own school and is already a top figure in the same grade in the same major in the school.

Such competition can be called a meat grinder in academia.

"You have passed my paper and algorithm requirements, which means you have met the basic requirements for admission. I believe that even if you are not able to join my team and choose other mentors, they will be happy to accept you."

While Xu Qingshan was speaking, the students in the audience looked at each other in bewilderment.

"In this summer camp selection, being eliminated doesn't mean you're not good. It may just be that your style is not suitable for our team."

"Perhaps some people will think, Xu Qingshan, how can you have the nerve to say such things? Don't you think it's too arrogant?"

Xu Qingshan spoke to himself.

"Then I can briefly tell you the treatment conditions after you join my team. We won't talk about anything else. We only talk about academic achievements. If you join my team, I can guarantee that you will have at least two SCI Zone 1 papers in your hands when you graduate. This is the minimum guarantee."

“If you are more qualified and diligent, then publishing two top journals in your field won’t be a problem.”

"If you just want to study abroad after completing your master's degree with me and then get your doctorate, I will also write a recommendation letter for you personally. Even if I am not qualified enough, I will ask my teachers and friends to write recommendation letters for you. You can choose any university in the world."

"If you do not plan to work in the university field in the future, but plan to join the industry, then I have enough positions for you, and I will provide you with large-scale company treatment that exceeds the industry average."

Xu Qingshan's opening remarks were not simply threats, but a stick and a carrot.

Although many people were still thinking about the elimination that Xu Jinshan mentioned, more people looked at Xu Qingshan with eyes filled with a fiery glow again.

As expected, he was right. He chose Xu Qingshan and became his first team member and his first student.

This will be the best-paid graduate student in the country in all these years.

Whether it is to stay with Xu Qingshan directly for a doctorate, or to use Xu Qingshan as a springboard to go abroad, or to aim for better employment conditions.

The conditions given by Xu Qingshan were impeccable, and were promises that many professors from top domestic universities could not make.

"Okay, now I've made the conditions very clear. If you still want to continue wasting time here, I'd be happy to see how you perform."

"If you feel that you don't have the confidence and hope to pass the numerous tests, then I advise you not to waste your time here. If you wait, your faith will be shattered and you won't be able to attend the next summer camp for guaranteed admission to graduate school."

Xu Qingshan's words were merciless and full of sarcasm.

At this moment, he was like a genius without any emotional intelligence, standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking this group of ignorant teenagers, and criticizing their efforts from his own perspective.

But such an expression did not make the students feel disgusted, but instead aroused the pride and confidence in their hearts.

Who among those who can sit here is not a young genius?

Since they are young geniuses, even if the future is bumpy and even if there are many difficulties, they will never give up at the very beginning.

Even some middle- and lower-tier 985 students, when looking at the chosen ones from Huaqing, Beijing, Zhendan and Shanghai Jiaotong, no longer had the same admiration and envy as when they first met them, but their eyes were full of challenge.

Who is stronger and who is weaker? Let’s see it with our own hands!
"Very good, it seems you all have courage."

Xu Qingshan nodded, clapped his hands, and asked Fang Yunhai, who had just been invited in, to stand on the podium.

"Today you will just meet me briefly. The elimination system and selection process will be handed over to our teacher Fang. Of course, Teacher Fang will introduce the researchers of our research team to you one by one later. I hope everything goes well for you."

After Xu Qingshan finished speaking, he turned around, walked down the podium and left the classroom.

It didn't take him long to say these words in the classroom, only about five or six minutes. However, in these short five or six minutes, the atmosphere in the classroom was completely different from before.

This made Tian Gang and Qiu Yong stunned.

The two bosses looked at each other again, but neither of them spoke first.

"Brother, I'll leave this to you later. I'll go back and review the content of the next few tests to make sure there are no mistakes. Call me when you need to give a lecture."

Xu Qingshan instructed Liu Ruochuan.

He appeared only because this summer camp was a comprehensive summer camp built with him as the face of the camp, but he would not spend all his time on the arrangements of the summer camp these days.

He also needs to take tests on special selection sessions in the summer camp.

It is also necessary to urge team members to advance the latest research directions and paper topics.

At present, the two founding disciples who sat down under him both had assistants to help lead them.

Xue Xueqing was naturally working together with Li Guangzhi according to Xu Qingshan's arrangements, and in the past few days, Jin Jing seemed to have fallen in love with Wang Wei. The two female scholars, one big and one small, would whisper together all day long.

Apart from laboratory matters, Wang Wei basically rarely came to ask Xu Qingshan academic questions.

Jin Jing can help Wang Wei answer those basic questions very well.

When they really need to consult Xu Qingshan, they often come together to ask.

The first day of summer camp did not start with tryouts.

Instead, he supplemented and explained what Xu Qingshan had just said through practical actions.

For example, visiting the summer camp and viewing the academic achievements of the two founding disciples.

Even though the summer camp students came in groups to visit Xu Qingshan's laboratory, the total number of summer campers was too large, so Xu Qingshan's small building seemed a bit noisy and crowded, with people standing in the corridors. However, whether it was the researchers sitting in the office or Wang Wei and Xue Xueqing sitting alone in the laboratory.

When there is no clear reception task, they will ignore the students who are peeking outside to visit and busy themselves with their own work.

To be honest, many students were disappointed when they first saw Xu Qingshan’s small building.

After all, to some extent, Xu Qingshan represents the younger generation in China's academic circles today.

This kind of identity symbol is basically associated with being trendy and high-end.

Even if Beijing University is unable to build a skyscraper like the luxurious scene in CBD, it is at least a new type of building with some technological and trendy elements.

But when Fang Yunhai brought them to the laboratory.

This small building, which looks full of traces of time, really surprised many people.

Fortunately, after they climbed only one flight of stairs, they changed their mind about the building.

The most visually impactful and also the most contrasting.

These are the various mathematical formulas and scientific research symbols that Xue Xueqing scribbled in the corridor.

Graffiti culture is still a relatively niche culture in China. Especially for those good students who basically spend most of their time studying, graffiti, which is a bold and confident thing, also represents a certain degree of heresy.

But when the core content of this heresy is the academic they have always pursued, the strong contrast is enough to bring them a special pleasure.

Only at this time will I express my emotion.

"Oh~ It's worthy of being God Xu's laboratory. It's the only one of its kind in China! Even in a small building with such hardware conditions, it can be so full of youthful atmosphere and avant-garde fashion style."

Many students are already imagining how they will leave their own mark in these amazing corridors when they move in.

But this naive and romantic imagination came to an abrupt end the next afternoon.

While they were still discussing the lectures given by Xu Qingshan and Liu Ruochuan in the morning, enthusiastically discussing the most cutting-edge exploration methods in academic research, Fang Yunhai walked into the classroom holding a stack of test papers.

"Everyone seems to be in high spirits. I guess you all enjoyed the lecture this morning?"

Fang Yunhai put the test paper on the desk and looked at the crowded students in the classroom with a smile.

But not many students answered him. Instead, they all fell silent and looked nervously at the stack of test papers in his hands.

"Okay, come on, distribute them in order."

Fang Yunhai simply calculated the test papers and distributed them to the students in the first row, asking them to pass them to the back.

After getting the test paper, the students rushed to look at the questions on it.

They all knew that the elimination test that Xu Xinsheng mentioned would begin from now on and the test paper in front of them would determine whether they could continue to stay in this summer camp.

But no matter how nervous they were, they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the words on the test paper.

In this first level, the questions Xu Qingshan asked were both difficult and simple.

Even the text on this test paper only had a few words, and there were no requirements on the content, conditions, or standards of students' answers.

The main feature is free play.

【Number theory is an important branch of mathematics, mainly studying the properties of integers and their relationship with other mathematical fields. Please choose one of the following research directions as the content of your discussion.】

[Algebraic number theory, analytic number theory, computational number theory, geometric number theory, combinatorial number theory, arithmetic algebraic geometry, modular formulas and conformal transformations. ]

[Please briefly describe the research status and future development direction of this direction, and explain the part of the frontier field that you have the most in-depth understanding of. ]

The question is just like this, very general and simple, but the part tested is confusing.

If students choose the areas in which they are best and most familiar, and select some relatively mature topics, they can complete this argumentative research more clearly.

It is nothing more than going deeper and more cutting-edge based on the previously submitted papers.

But in the students' view, the elimination system proposed by Xu Qingshan could not be so simple.

Because Fang Yunhai did not say how many people would be eliminated as a result of this test, so if the results he gave were not impressive enough and the content he gave was not eye-catching enough, it was unknown whether he would be surpassed and eliminated by other bolder people.

But if one chooses a topic that is too cutting-edge or too advanced for discussion, will that person have the academic ability to handle it and explain it clearly?
If you can't explain it clearly, even if it's cutting-edge research, there's no way you can get Xu Qingshan's approval.

The first difficulty of this test is how to choose the content of the discussion.

Fang Yunhai carefully observed the students in the classroom.

There are now almost one-third fewer students in the classroom because computer students and mathematics students are not training together.

But this does not mean that computer science students have an easier time than students in this classroom.

At this time, in the computer room specially opened for this summer camp at Beijing University, a group of geniuses who were usually called "X God" and "X Lao" by their classmates were scratching their heads at the algorithm tests that Zhang Ke had packaged and distributed to each computer.

It’s not that their technology is not capable of completing the test questions.

Although the group of young people sitting in the computer room are only around 20 years old, their talent in program algorithms is far beyond that of ordinary people. They can complete most of the difficult algorithms on the market.

But at this time, I was stuck in front of this seemingly simple open-ended algorithm problem.

What Zhang Ke requires is an extended form of the greedy algorithm, with many conditions and incomplete internal logic, which leaves ample room for students to supplement and think on their own.

But these geniuses also face the same challenges as mathematical geniuses.

That is what difficulty mode I need to choose and what degree of completion I need to pass this test.

It seems that this is a difficult PVE game.

In fact, this is a super large MMORPG PVP battlefield.

A strong smell of internal conflict quietly spread across the campus of Kyoto University this summer.

But this is just the first level.

Xu Qingshan didn't pay any attention at all. After he gave the questions, he went about his own business.

The whole situation was basically handed over to Fang Yunhai and Zhang Ke to handle together.

Even his senior brother Liu Ruchuan was forcibly dragged back to the office.

Because he felt that he seemed to have some new ideas when watching P Jin self-defense recently.
