Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 177 The End of High School Career (asking for monthly tickets)

On the morning of July 1983, 7, Wang Jiankun arrived at the entrance of the college entrance examination room in high spirits, waiting for the time to enter.

"Jiankun, you're here early." Wu Xiaoyi patted Wang Jiankun on the shoulder and said.

"Wu Xiaoyi, you're early too. How's it going? Are you sure?"

"Of course, after your intensive training in the previous week, I am more confident of being admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University. By the way, Jiankun, you say it would be a sensation if our school could get so many students admitted at once!" Wu Xiaoyi imagined that after the college entrance examination results came out, the entire region and even the entire province would pay attention to this blockbuster school.

In fact, this is a good thing. Good student performance means a good school. This will also bring more educational funds to No. 2 Middle School. In the future, teaching and living conditions will be greatly improved. For example, starting this year, the school has begun to build new teaching buildings and dormitory buildings. This is in preparation for expanding enrollment in the second half of the year, and it will also improve accommodation conditions for old students.

Now many enterprises in the county are on the right track. The second phase of the suitcase factory has been completed and put into production. 80% of the suitcases are shipped to Europe, America and Southeast Asia through Sihai Trading Company for sale, earning a lot of foreign exchange. The motorcycle engine factory, gearbox factory, curved beam manufacturing factory, seat manufacturing factory and other parts factories are being built and put into production one after another. It is expected that by the end of this year, 80% of the parts can be manufactured in Wuyuan Industrial Park, and other parts have also found suppliers in Raozhou or Hongdu. When all the parts can be produced, the county will build a large factory with an annual output of 30 motorcycles.

As this series of factories were completed and put into production, the county's GDP growth has reached a new level every month. Although tax revenue has not seen much growth, the factories that have already produced products are receiving more and more profits every month, so the county's fiscal revenue is rising steadily.

Of course the county has to spend so much money, so the investment in many areas of people's livelihood is increasing. The first to benefit is education. In addition to allocating funds to high schools for the construction of new teaching buildings and dormitory buildings, new stadiums and libraries are also being planned.

At the same time, in order to train industrial workers, the county also invested in several existing vocational high schools, small technical secondary schools and junior high schools, allowing them to offer new courses and train industrial workers needed by factories in the industrial park.

As the manufacturing capacity of the factory continues to improve, the technical and cultural levels of the workers needed are also getting higher and higher. Xingyao Group used to send these employees from old factories or recruited from the society to Guangzhou or Shenzhen for training. However, as the number of people in need of training increased, the investment in such training was still too large, so the county was required to do a good job in training industrial workers.

Most of the graduates in the county who failed the exam this year have been recruited into vocational high schools to learn mechanics, electronics, driving and other skills. The program lasts one and a half years, with the first half studying in school and the next year and a half working and studying. In addition to learning book knowledge, they also have to participate in internships in factories.

Part of the training materials were purchased and translated from several major industrial countries in the world, and part of them were compiled and provided by Tomoko, so although it is only a county-level vocational high school, the training materials are very advanced.

It is also equipped with numerous advanced instruments and equipment. Each classroom is equipped with a color TV for playing video tutorials. At the same time, some small teaching machine tools, measuring instruments, and various meters have been installed one after another. The driving training class also has a variety of construction machinery such as excavators, bulldozers, cranes, rammers, rollers, etc.

Because the three major groups controlled by Wang Jiankun continue to invest in Wuyuan County, Secretary Wu, who had previously fully supported and cooperated, is now in a more stable position. Last year, many people opposed this and that, but since the beginning of this year, the county party committee meetings have almost been under the control of Secretary Wu.

Secretary Wu will also reciprocate. In recent months, the county has begun to allocate resources to Qinghua Town, Fengshan Commune and Wangjia Production Team. The power system is already exploring sites and preparing to build a new high-voltage line to Fengshan Commune to support the growing electricity demand there. It has also invested in building a medium-sized reservoir in Duanxin Township, and most of the electricity in the future will be supplied to Fengshan Commune.

According to Chen Xingdong, road improvement has also been put on the agenda. It is expected that starting from August, some dangerous and winding sections will be repaired, widened and straightened. At the same time, this road leading to the border with Anhui Province will be hardened and paved with cement along the entire line next year.

After returning from northern Myanmar, Wang Jiankun listened to Chen Xingdong's report and was also moved by Secretary Wu's support for his hometown. So one week before the exam, he called Wu Xiaoyi to participate in the final sprint training with the seven major disciples.

"Relax in the exam room and don't be nervous. Your previous test has already shown that you have the ability. As long as you perform well, we can meet again in BJ in September."

"Well, Jiankun, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I would not only have to delay for a year, but also would not have been able to take the entrance exams to Peking University and Tsinghua University. I am really grateful."

"Don't be so quick to express your gratitude. Wait until you're done with the exam. I'll be in Wuyuan in July. We'll get together after the admission results come out."

"Okay, we'll meet again then."

The morning sun shines on the school gate, illuminating a group of candidates who are full of dreams. They come to the entrance of the examination center early, either alone or in groups of two or three, and quietly wait for the school to open.

Wang Jiankun looked around and found that the candidates had come in one after another. Some candidates held the review materials tightly in their hands, but their eyes were a little vacant, perhaps reviewing the knowledge points over and over again in their minds; some candidates seemed relatively calm, chatting quietly with the students around them, and occasionally laughed lightly, as if to relieve the tension in their hearts.

In the crowd, a girl kept looking at her watch, her eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and expectation. She stood on tiptoe from time to time and looked towards the school gate, as if hoping that the door would open quickly. A boy next to her put his hands in his pockets, tilted his head slightly, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, trying to keep himself calm.

As time went by, more and more candidates gathered, and the atmosphere gradually became tense. Everyone was silent, just waiting quietly, as if waiting for the verdict of fate. Finally, the school gate slowly opened, and the candidates poured into the school like a tide, heading for the important examination hall in their lives.

Wang Jiankun also followed the crowd into the school and went to his examination room.

Because only half of the candidates were able to take the college entrance examination after the final selection, all the candidates in the entire county could be accommodated in No. 2 Middle School, and all the candidates in No. 1 Middle School could also go to No. 2 Middle School to take the exam.

This year, more than a dozen high school sophomores participated in advance. In addition to Wang Jiankun's seven major disciples and Wu Xiaoyi, there were also five high school sophomores that the principal gave Wang Jiankun to help train.

On the way, Wang Jiankun also met Fang Guihua and others. He told them to respond according to the state they had in the previous mock exam, check carefully, and then entered examination room No. 6.

Each examination room was allocated 30 candidates, each with a single desk, and an invigilator in front and behind, just like the previous examinations.

The first subject was Chinese. Wang Jiankun did not use his superpowers to observe in advance and prepared to complete the test like ordinary candidates.

About an hour later, Wang Jiankun finished his answers. He checked them carefully to prevent any unnecessary mistakes. After checking them twice, he asked Chieko to help check them as well. Chieko made some suggestions for revisions to the classical Chinese and composition parts. Wang Jiankun looked at them again and again and decided to answer according to his own understanding, because Chieko was not particularly good at such subjective questions.

After finishing the test, Wang Jiankun put down the test paper and began to use his super powers to check the answers of several disciples. He wanted to give them an insurance policy. In case of major mistakes, he could use his super powers to remedy them. However, his worries were unnecessary. Several disciples answered very well. Zhizi gave them scores close to full marks or only deducted 5 to 10 points. Seeing the feedback given by Zhizi, he was very pleased, which showed that these people's psychological qualities were still up to standard and did not perform abnormally because of the real college entrance examination.

In the next few exams, Wang Jiankun finished his own answers first, and then used his superpowers to check the answers of several major disciples. However, until the last exam, Wang Jiankun did not use his superpowers to help revise them, because their answers were very good and they all performed at their expected level.

The day after the exam, Wang Jiankun came to a conference room in the school office building at the invitation of Principal Wang.

"Jiankun, come on, how did you do on the exam?"

"Of course, no problem. I'll write down my answers right away."

"Okay, you write first. The other 10 or so students from the training class will also be here. We'll compare the answers and estimate the scores later."

"Principal, why did you call all of us here? Don't the class teachers have the answers? Can you go to the class to check the estimated scores?"

"Isn't it because I want to see the results of your training? Of course, it's also to avoid irritating those students who didn't participate in the training."

Wang Jiankun wrote the answers very quickly, finishing them in more than 30 minutes. It was mainly the composition that took some time. At this time, other people also arrived. As soon as they arrived, they were pulled by the principal and the academic director to sit in their seats and write down their previous answers.

The principal and the academic director will give a score to each written answer they receive. One will score according to the strictest standard, while the other will score according to the most lenient standard. Then they will take the average of the two scores.

It took about three hours, and a total of 3 answers, including Wang Jiankun's, were checked. Principal Wang and the Dean of Studies were holding the summarized estimated score sheets, and their hands were shaking, which was a sign of excessive excitement.

"Principal, what's wrong?" A senior high school student who was standing nearby saw the principal's hand holding the paper shaking and asked.

Huh~, Principal Wang calmed down, carefully folded the transcript, and then said.

"Students, you did very well in the exam. According to your estimated scores, 99% of the schools and majors you applied for will be accepted. For the next half month, you should go home and be safe, patiently wait for the telegram from the school, and then come to the school to receive the admission letter."

The college entrance examination application is carried out between May and June. After taking the final examination, candidates fill in their applications based on their ranking in the province and the region, and then combine it with the admission lines of various schools and their own interests and hobbies.

So after the college entrance examination, whether you can be admitted has been roughly determined. The test paper grading time is about a week, and then the scores are counted, and the first filing is made according to the previously declared preferences. If the number of applicants for a certain major in a school exceeds the number of admissions, then those with lower scores will be returned and wait for the second filing. Of course, if the number of applicants is too small, they will be selected from the candidates who failed the first time. In short, students who reach the score line set by the state will be admitted, and most of them will be admitted to the preferences they filled in. Only a small number of them who did not apply well or did not perform well in the exam will be transferred to other schools and other majors.

At that time, there were very few repeaters in rural areas and small cities. As long as they were admitted, almost all of them would go, because they would become cadres after graduation, and their agricultural household registration would be directly transferred to urban household registration and they would eat commercial grain. Those who did not pass the exam had no conditions to support them to repeat their studies, so they would choose to find a job directly.

Among them, those high school students who failed the entrance exam in economically underdeveloped areas will be more miserable. Although they study for the same amount of time as technical secondary school students, their treatment after graduation is much different. Technical secondary school students will almost always be assigned to better units, while high school students need to take the initiative to find one, and sometimes they also have to rely on some connections. If they are not proactive and have no connections, they can only go home to farm.

However, this year is a good time for high school students in Wuyuan, because a large number of new factories are being built, and a large number of educated high school students are needed. They will be recruited to the factories for 1 to 3 months of training, mainly to operate machine tools, mechanical equipment, and perform some fine work. Moreover, the salary after completing the training is not low, generally around 60 yuan, which is similar to that of ordinary civil servants in the county.

After Wang Jiankun came out of the principal's office, he came to the waste recycling station. At this time, the seven major disciples and Wu Xiaoyi were already waiting there. The table was already filled with dishes bought from the Sichuan restaurant at the school gate.

Wang Jiankun had reserved this meal at the school gate. He felt that everyone would have fewer opportunities to get together in the future, so he decided to have a good gathering today to bid farewell to their high school life. In the future, they would enter university, which would be a whole new world.

Although these nine people all applied to Peking University and Tsinghua University, according to the results observed by Wang Jiankun in the examination room, they all had a great chance of being admitted. However, after admission, everyone was divided into different majors, with different class times, and in college everyone would focus on their own fields and would not have much time to get together. Unlike Wang Jiankun himself, he had already made arrangements that after the university started, he would create a clone of himself, and when he needed to leave school, the clone would take his place to attend classes and participate in school activities.

"Come on, let's have a toast together and congratulate everyone for performing normally and getting satisfactory results."

"Cheers~"

All nine people stood up around the table, raised their glasses filled with Tsinghua Wu liquor, clinked them together, and then drank all the wine in the glasses, even the two girls, Zheng Qian and Yu Zirun, were no exception.

After finishing the first glass of wine, Wang Jiankun let them drink as much as they wanted, and then everyone came to toast him. Fortunately, he had super powers that could break down alcohol, otherwise he would have been drunk today.

Young people always have endless topics to talk about when they are together. They ate and drank and talked about their summer plans. Since the college entrance examination was over, Wang Jiankun didn't ask them to come to the county's waste recycling station to do the project. While waiting for the admission letter, he asked them to go home and have a good rest. Everything else would be discussed after they received the admission letter.

After lunch, he packed up some valuables and took them to the underground base, then locked several small laboratories.

For a period of time afterwards, Ye Wei would go to a factory warehouse to work as a patrol supervisor, going to and from get off work with his wife, but he would come here to check on us every morning and evening.

After arranging the place in the county, Wang Jiankun hurried home to report. After he finished the exam, his family members would send him messages from time to time to ask about his condition. Although he repeatedly said that he had done very well in the exam, not only his grandparents but also his parents kept urging him to go back.

Just like that, his high school career ended. Wang Jiankun reviewed his experiences in the past two years. Everything seemed so unreal, from the first day when he accidentally gained superpowers and met Sophon, and then he stumbled all the way to figure out how to use his superpowers, until last month, when he touched the current forbidden zone of mankind and created a new human race. His ambition became bigger and bigger as he broke through the limits again and again, and he became bolder and bolder in his future plans. With the foundation laid in the past two years, he hopes to accelerate the development of this world, and he himself wants to travel the universe as soon as possible to see if there are other intelligent species living in this world.
