Chapter 311
At the Base of Operations, Chen Jin asked Nuwa, “Nuwa, what is the current number of players who have successfully entered the game?” The game was released a day ago and he was very concerned about the number of players .
“856 people . ” Nuwa said, “In the territory of Z, only 800 people have successfully entered the game . ”
“Not even a thousand?” Chen Jin shook his head slightly, “It seems that the threshold of this game really is too high . Amongst the millions of people who downloaded the game, only less than one in a thousand players successfully entered the game . It deserved to be called the most hardcore game in history . ”
“Master, the game’s entry test questions are not particularly difficult, but the level of technological development on the earth is still too backward . Only a few top talents have the possibility to enter the game . ” Nuwa continued, “According to my estimation, there will probably be around 10,000 players in the Z country region who have the ability to enter this game . It will gradually increase to 30,000, even 50,000 over the next few years . The overseas version of “100% Science Lab” will probably attract about 30,000 scientists to enter, and it will probably increase to 50,000 in the future . The maximum capacity of this game is 100,000 scientists . If this number is exceeded, I will increase the difficulty of the entry test and eliminate those players with poorer research ability . All research resources are limited . Only the best of the best will acquire the most adequate resources . ”
To put it even more plainly, this was the survival of the fittest in the scientific community . Only in this way would a large number of highly valuable R&D results be produced .
Chen Jin nodded . Nuwa was right . Pressure created drive . An adverse environment could better stimulate one’s potential than a comfortable and easy environment . When there was no competition, it would create a group of warm and affable people that kept on the right side . Technology would stagnate . They would sit on the shoulders of old giants and enjoy the gains brought about by old work . At the same time, they would even count on others to make breakthroughs and share the results with them . It was definitely necessary to eliminate such unambitious and complacent scientists . According to Chen Jin, no one inferior could disguise themselves as part of the capable in “100% Science Lab” and get away with it .
…
For the next three weeks, Li Yan continued to challenge while frantically “charging . ” He tried again three times in a row . 58 points . 56 points . 61 points! In the fourth attempt, he finally got a passing score and entered the game “100% Science Lab . ”
He was the 11,706th player who successfully entered the game . Say, was he a bit silly? It was only an entry test . It was too easy to pass the test . Just get your tutor or classmates to help . They would complete the entry test together . With several people taking the test together, was it not a piece of cake to get 60 points?
In fact, there were many players who more easily entered the game this way to acquire their own “laboratory . ”
But what was this called? Cheating . This was dishonest test-taking behavior .
Moreover, they could never successfully deceive “Science Lab . ” The level of players’ academic level can be inferred and analyzed through their actual research ability . If you did not have a solid grasp of the basic knowledge, you would inevitably make many low-level, layman-type mistakes in the process of doing experiments . These mistakes would be in stark contrast to your entry test scores . This kind of “contrast” could be detected by the game AI . A test panel would automatically pop up asking the player to answer the questions again . If their results were not up to standard, they would lose the right to continue in the game and be redirected to the login interface .
Even if you continued to pass the test via cheating, the test panel would pop up again after 2 days as long as those low-level, common-sense mistakes were still being committed… eliminating any way to continue “cheating . ” The probability of getting away with this kind of hoodwinking without someone that had real scientific ability in their group was almost zero .
Li Yan had his pride as a top student, and he would not lower himself to that kind of “cheating . ” He firmly believed that he had the ability to enter the game .
“I’m in, haha, I finally entered the game . ” Li Yan looked at the computer screen with excitement . On the screen, an F-class laboratory covering an area of about 100 square meters became his personal laboratory . He controlled the mouse to switch between the various lenses . Then he zoomed in and out abruptly to observe every corner of the lab . The beakers, test tubes, microscopes and culture rooms, etc . in the laboratory seemed to be incomparably real . It did not feel like a game .
After checking out the facilities in the lab, he was shocked . “In reality, it would take at least tens of millions to build such a lab . But it is the lowest-level F-class lab in the game . Just how great are the conditions of the higher-level laboratories?” Li Yan was full of anticipation and longing . He felt a sense of urgency to quickly upgrade the level of his lab .
He scrutinized the layout and environment of the lab once again . A great sense of accomplishment bloomed in his heart . He nodded and said, “No matter what, this lab is mine!”
…
The next day, Li Yan told his tutor that he passed the “100% Science Lab” entry test and successfully entered the game .
“You passed?” His tutor glanced at him and gave a gratified nod . “Very good, you are the third person in our research team to enter the ‘Science Lab’ and the tenth in our school to do so . You are… very outstanding . ”
Li Yan was shocked and was somewhat doubtful about the veracity of the tutor’s claim . “Teacher, our school is a famous school ranked in the top 20 nationwide . There are at least a hundred top experts, professors, and doctoral students . How can it be that only ten people have entered the ‘Science Lab’? This is impossible!”
“Ten is a lot, it accounts for one-thousandth of players who have entered the game in this country . There are many schools and research institutions who did not have even one person from their organization successfully enter the ‘Science Lab . ’ They’re all panicking now . ” The tutor shook his head . “In our country’s scientific research field, there are people who fake their academic achievements, people angling for fame, scammers, fake experts, academic scammers, and the immoral and despicable… It’s a mixed bag of people with chaos all around . Science has a very high threshold . The layman can’t understand the insiders . It is easy to be fooled by those fake experts . Some will end up wasting a lot of money with no results . There are even some who muddle through their mistakes which leads to serious academic corruption . This kind of phenomenon can’t be eradicated . There are real talents this year, but they can never win against those with glib tongues . The scientists who are buried in the laboratory will never look better than the actors in front of the podium . Even if they produce results that should win them a Nobel Prize, if they are not good at expressing themselves, they may not be able to win the Nobel Prize . This is the current state and reality of the scientific field . Fortunately, the emergence of Xing Hai Technologies”100% Science Lab’ put a lot of pseudo-experts back in their place . How much real, demonstrable skills do you possess? This game can see all that with a glance . It has become the most direct and observable evaluation standard . Now, the government has introduced a new project funding application standard . If there is a member of the project team who successfully entered the ‘Science Lab’, the project team would pass the application with priority . The more project team members who entered the game, the easier it was to apply for R&D funds . A game has become an important criterion . There are three people on our R&D team who have entered the game, this is enough to prove the strength of our team . I think it will not be as difficult as in previous years if we were to apply for research and development funds again,” The tutor said with a sigh of relief .
More than half of his hair was now white . That did not happen because he used too much brainpower in his research, but because of the worry and stress that resulted from his fight for research and development funds . He went to many places every year and participated in a large number of banquets . A lot of energy was involved and it even affected his normal R&D work . Things were looking up now . A standard that measured the true level of one’s ability emerged . The level of one’s academic skills, who could do it and who could not, could now be seen with a glance . And as for who should be given research funding, there was no need to put on a show or argue . Real ability spoke louder than words .
From this point of view, Xing Hai Technologies’ “100% Science Lab” game reversed the research environment of the entire Z country .
Li Yan nodded in agreement and looked at the white hair on the head of his tutor . He listened to his lament and his heart ached inexplicably . He said to himself, Teacher, we no longer have to beg for scraps in the future .
