"Make it final." Zhu Yun put the application form in front of Li Xun, and Li Xun became impatient. "How many times have you confirmed it?"
Zhu Yun said calmly, "Have you read it carefully? I filled out all the forms."
She sat next to Li Xun and checked each item with him.
"Also, you can't change the registration form once it's handed in. You have to attend the following series of things, including going to the capital to participate in the final after passing the preliminary round, and communicating with the panel of judges and experts. In addition—"
Li Xun snatched the registration form.
"Hey!" Zhu Yun stretched out her hand to grab it back, but unfortunately Li Xun was tall, and Zhu Yun couldn't do anything about it with one move of his arm.
Li Xun folded the registration form in his hand and threw it to Gao Jianhong, "Put it away quickly."
Gao Jianhong took it with a smile.
In mid-April, the registration is confirmed, and at the end of April, the entries are basically completed.
It was nearly half a month earlier than the preliminary round.
Zhu Yun found Li Xun and asked him about the project of the base.
"What are you doing?" Li Xun snorted, "I already have enough energy to focus on two things, right?"
Zhu Yun: "..."
If you want to help, you will be ridiculed. There is no other place in the world.
In the end, Li Xun didn't give Zhu Yun any task either.
"It's not that you have to win, so let's talk about other things after you win."
So in the remaining ten days, Zhu Yun still stuck in the content of the competition, tested the data repeatedly, and finally upgraded the software once.
Finally the preliminary date has arrived.
The preliminary competition was carried out in the form of remote submission of works. That morning, Zhu Yun got up early and was the first to arrive at the base.
"Hey, it's been a night." Li Zhuangyuan carried his bag and entered the room.
When Zhu Yun turned around, Li Xun glanced at the computer, "Click to send, what are you doing?"
Zhu Yun looked at Li Xun and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, do you want to have another test?"
Li Xun turned on the computer and leaned against the table to drink water.
"After packing everything, what else to test, hurry up and submit."
Zhu Yun moved her index finger up and down the mouse several times, but still did not click.
She said worriedly: "Will there be a problem with the platform?"
"The participating platforms are limited to three, Windows, Linux, and Unix. It is difficult for you to come up with a problem."
Zhu Yun was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Will there be—" She just said halfway, but Li Xun didn't want to hear it anymore, so he reached out to help her press submit, and with a whoosh, the email was sent. !
Zhu Yun looked at the notification of successful sending on the desktop, was surprised for a while, and slumped down in the chair.
She didn't sleep all night last night, her mind was full of competition matters, she was extremely nervous when the work was not sent out, but now she was relieved after it was sent out.
Li Xun briefly dealt with the affairs of the base, and dragged Zhu Yun to the teaching building.
"Let's go, class is on."
Zhu Yun wandered into the classroom, held on to the first period, survived the second period, and finally fell down in old man Lin's class. She fell asleep under old man Lin's nose in a daze, and when she woke up, get out of class was over.
In the afternoon, Zhu Yun went to deliver homework to old man Lin, accompanied by Gao Jianhong.
Gao Jianhong was as concerned about the game as Zhu Yun, and kept pulling old man Lin to analyze the situation. Old man Lin was dizzy from his questions.
"Hey, look at you guys, what are you panicking about?" Old man Lin held his teacup, "This is the preliminary round. Do you think your work might not make it to the final round?"
Gao Jianhong smiled and said, "Isn't it more reassuring to ask more questions?"
"It's not so exaggerated. I see you all are trembling." Old man Lin snorted twice, and then said, "...Although I have always called that brat Li Xun arrogant, sometimes you really have to learn from him, young man People, have faith in yourself."
Zhu Yun stood on the side and watched speechlessly, thinking to herself, have you ever really scolded him...
"By the way." Old man Lin suddenly put down his teacup and flipped through his bag, "I just remembered." He took out a stack of papers from his bag, "The competition catalogs for each school have been sorted out, and I printed them out. Take it and have a look."
Zhu Yun's heart trembled, Gao Jianhong had already brought the catalog over, and he asked while looking at it, "Mr. Lin, have you read it? Let us analyze our competitors."
Old man Lin said: "What is the analysis? There are only a few schools with strong computer departments, plus a few national defense schools. There is nothing to analyze. The strength is the real chapter. You can see for yourself."
Gao Jianhong looked over there, Zhu Yun stood far away, it was not easy to intervene, so he could only wait.
Old man Lin said again: "I've already seen your works. Judging from the level of previous years, there is absolutely no problem. However, the final ranking depends on the general direction of this year's competition system. The focus is different every year."
Leaving old man Lin's office, Zhu Yun snatched the competition catalogue, flipped the pages quickly, and stopped when she saw the name of a certain school.
Sure enough, Fang Zhijing participated in the competition, and was appointed as the team leader.
Zhu Yun looked back at their entry - "USB Smart Encryption Interface".
When she came to the base, Zhu Yun searched the Internet for a series of U disk encryption products and papers, and read them for hours without saying a word.
Finally, when the sun set, Zhu Yun frowned and asked the people around her, "Can you make an encryption interface for USB devices?"
Li Xun raised his eyes from the computer, "What?"
Zhu Yun repeated, Li Xun tilted his neck, and said lazily, "I didn't see it at a glance, and you're thinking about something again."
Zhu Yun: "I'm asking you seriously, can you do it?"
Li Xun looked at her expression, touched his chin, thought for a while and said, "Encryption interface... If you just want to realize the function, find a single-chip microcomputer as the main processor, and then make an interface chip. I am not very familiar with hardware, probably It takes a while to study. The software is very simple, just deal with the interface firmware and key management.”
Zhu Yun: "Is it difficult?"
Li Xun squinted: "What's the matter, the princess has outsourced the base?"
Zhu Yun: "..."
Li Xun twitched his lips and praised: "Yes, I know I've found a job. Let me say yes first, correct your identity, don't sell yourself cheaply, we are not cheap."
Zhu Yun read the thesis all afternoon, her head hurt like hell, she didn't have the energy to argue with Li Xun, she took a deep breath, and said word by word: "I'll ask you, if you do it, how many days?"
The more anxious she was, the more relaxed Li Xun became. Finally, he tilted his stool, put his arms on the table, and said with a smile, "The number of days depends on the quotation."
Zhu Yun: "If you are very, very satisfied with the report, and you go all out to do it, how long will it take?"
Li Xun looked at the bright-eyed Zhu Yun, and said, "It depends on the requirements. There are so many encryption methods in this world, with different levels. It takes as long as the development of advanced encryption is possible. If only the function of encrypting the interface is realized, it will be soon. It can be done." He paused, then said calmly, "What's going on, you should know all these common sense questions, why don't you ask me."
Zhu Yun didn't know either, she just wanted to ask Li Xun, as if she could feel at ease after asking.
"I'm going to eat." Zhu Yun turned off the computer.
Li Xun looked thoughtfully at Zhu Yun's leaving figure.
After a long while, he got up, reached out to fetch the copy of Zhu Yun's competition catalog that he had read all afternoon, and finally put it in the book.
At night, Zhu Yun smoked on the balcony.
She leaned against the railing, raised her head high, and looked at the night sky.
Still no stars.
Zhu Yun wondered, this city has a good environment in the whole country, why can't I see the stars.
About a week later, when the preliminary results came out, Zhu Yun's team entered the final without any surprise.
A total of three teams from our school participated in the competition, and two of them entered the finals.
Zhu Yun was in a daze in front of the computer.
Gao Jianhong discussed the final process with Li Xun on the other side.
"The report process is only ten minutes, followed by the demonstration of the work, which requires a tacit understanding to show the innovation, technical route and application prospect of the work to experts in a short period of time."
Gao Jianhong read the request word by word to Li Xun.
"There will be a reply link later, you need to pay attention to this, you look at the above, 'Be confident in answering questions, but don't be arrogant and boastful, and keep a humble and objective attitude at all times'. Li Xun, have you seen these questions? Is there a word, modesty! Objective!... Li Xun? Did you hear me, hello!"
Gao Jianhong called several times but no one answered.
Li Xun leaned against him and smoked, his eyes glanced in another direction - Zhu Yun was still there in a daze.
Gao Jianhong frowned, "What's the matter, you two."
Zhu Yun came back to her senses and hurried over with a pen and paper.
Gao Jianhong talked about the final process, and finally urged again: "Li Xun, you must have a better attitude when defending."
Li Xun said lightly, "If you're so worried, go and answer."
Gao Jianhong: "It is customary for the team leader to reply."
Zhu Yun also said to Li Xun: "You are the strongest, so you should be safe."
Li Xun glanced at her through the smoke, but said nothing.
"Then it's settled." Gao Jianhong pushed the notebook over, "There is still a long time before the finals, we can polish the program again."
Time passed without haste.
One day, Zhu Yun was writing code at the base. Sleepy at noon, she fell asleep on the table for a while, and when she woke up, her eyes were blinded by the sweat from the corners of her eyes.
At the end of June, it was already very hot.
Zhu Yun looked out the window.
The sun shines through the bamboo forest and shines on the stone road, drifting and mottled.
The class of this semester has basically been finished, and now it is entering the review stage, and the exam week is coming soon. After the exam, the holiday will be in mid-July.
Time flies too fast.
Zhu Yun tilted her head and saw the person typing on the keyboard next to her.
Summer afternoons are depressing. Before it was time to turn on the air conditioner, the room was stuffy. Shallow drops of water condensed on the shell of the iced drink I bought during lunch, which accumulated from time to time and slid down silently.
When you open your eyes, the freshman year is coming to an end.
This year, my mother did not ask for Zhu Yun's final grades. She knew that she had been busy with the competition. She called several times to inquire about the situation, and Zhu Yun reassured her.
You should feel at ease.
She did everything she could, and she went all out, believing that she couldn't beat Fang Zhijing.
Because the final time is in late July, there is still nearly half a month to be in school after the holiday. For the convenience of management, the school packed all the students who stayed in school into one building. Live in Ren Di's studio.
Their entries were tested and upgraded repeatedly, and in the end Old Man Lin didn't even want to read them.
He left a sentence "If your group makes mistakes again, I will retire directly", and then devoted himself to the works of another team.
In this way, another two weeks later, on a sunny morning, old man Lin took two participating teams from his school to the capital.
