The Base of Operations.
"Nuwa, how many players have successfully entered the game now?" Chen Jin asked. It had been a day since the game was released. He was very concerned about the number of players.
"856," Nuwa said.
Nuwa said, "Within the Z region, only about 800 people have successfully entered the game."
"Less than a thousand?"
Chen Jin shook his head slightly. "It seems that the threshold for this game is really too high. Millions of people have downloaded it, and only less than one in a thousand players have successfully entered the game. It is truly worthy of being called the most hardcore game in history."
"Master, the game's entry test is not particularly difficult. It's just that the level of technological development on Earth is still too backward. Only a few top talents have the possibility of entering this game."
Nuwa continued, "And according to my estimation, within the Z region, there will be about 10,000 players who have the ability to enter this game. It will gradually increase to 30,000 to 50,000 in the next few years."
"The foreign version of '100% Science Lab' can probably attract about 30,000 scientists to enter. It will probably increase to 50,000 in the future."
"And 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 poor research abilities … Any scientific research resources are limited. Only the most outstanding can obtain the most adequate resources."
To put it bluntly, this was the survival of the fittest in the scientific community.
Only in this way could a large number of high-value research and development results be produced.
Chen Jin nodded. Nuwa was right. As the saying goes, there is only motivation when there is pressure. Adversity can stimulate people's potential more than prosperity. The result of no competition was harmony. Technology stagnated. Sitting on the shoulders of giants and living off their past achievements, or expecting others to make breakthroughs and share the results with them … For such scientists who did not want to make progress, they must definitely be eliminated.
According to Chen Jin, in "100% Science Lab," no one could make up the numbers and bluff their way through.
…
For the next three weeks.
Li Yan continued to challenge while "charging" crazily.
He tried three more times in a row.
58 points.
56 points.
61 points!
On the fourth attempt, he finally got a passing score and entered the game "100% Science Lab."
He became the 11706th player who successfully entered the game.
Wasn't he a little silly?
It was just an entry test. Wasn't it easy to pass? He could ask his mentor or classmates to help him complete the entry test together. Wouldn't it be easy to get 60 points?
In fact, a considerable number of players used this method to enter the game more easily and have their own "laboratory."
But what was this called?
Cheating.
This was dishonest examination behavior.
Moreover, it could not deceive Science Lab. The academic level of a player could be inferred and analyzed through their actual research ability. If your basic knowledge was not solid, you would inevitably make a lot of low-level, common sense mistakes in the process of hands-on experiments, which would form a sharp contrast with your entrance exam results.
This kind of "contrast" could be detected by the game's AI, and then a test panel would automatically pop up, asking the player to answer the question again. If the test did not meet the standard, they would lose the right to continue playing the game and exit the login interface.
Even if you continued to "cheat" and passed the test, as long as you continued to make those low-level, common sense mistakes, the test panel would pop up again after two days … It was up to you to see if you could continue "cheating".
Without real talent, the probability of muddling through was almost zero.
And Li Yan had his pride as a top student. It was impossible and disdainful to do that kind of "cheating." He firmly believed that he had the ability to enter the game.
"I'm in. Haha, I've finally entered the game."
Li Yan looked at the computer screen. On the screen, an F-level laboratory covering an area of about 100 square meters had become his personal laboratory.
He operated the mouse and switched various lenses. Sometimes he zoomed in, sometimes he zoomed in, observing every corner of the laboratory.
The beakers, test tubes, microscopes, cultivation rooms, and other equipment in the laboratory looked very real. It did not feel like a game.
After checking the facilities in the laboratory.
"In reality, it would cost at least tens of millions to build such a laboratory, right? But this is the lowest F-level laboratory in the game. How good would the conditions of a higher-level laboratory be? "
Li Yan's face showed anticipation and longing. He had a sense of urgency to quickly level up.
He took a good look at the layout and environment of the laboratory.
A great sense of accomplishment surged from the bottom of his heart.
He nodded and said, "No matter what, this laboratory is mine!"
…
The next day.
Li Yan told his tutor that he had passed the entrance exam of the "100% Science Lab" and entered the game.
"You passed?"
The tutor glanced at him and nodded with relief. "Good, very good. You are the third person in our research team to enter the" Science Lab "and the tenth person in our school. You … are excellent."
Li Yan was taken aback and somewhat doubted the authenticity of the tutor's words.
"Teacher, our school is one of the top 20 schools in the country. There are at least hundreds of top experts, professors, and doctoral students. How can only ten people enter the" Science Lab "? This is impossible, right?"
"Ten is not a small number. It accounts for one-thousandth of the country. Many schools and scientific research institutions don't even have one person enter the "Science Lab". Now they are panicking. "
The tutor shook his head. "In the field of science in our country, there are academic counterfeiters, those who fish for compliments, fake experts, academic swindlers, and beasts in human clothing … It can be said that mud and sand are falling from the sky. It's a mess."
"The threshold for science is very high. Laymen can't understand the experts. It's easy to be fooled by those fake experts. They waste a lot of money but can't produce any results. They might even make the same mistake and cause serious academic corruption."
"This phenomenon can't be eradicated. These days, those with real talent and genuine knowledge can't compare to those who can talk. Scientists buried in the laboratory can never compare to actors in front of the podium. Those who are not good at expressing themselves may not be awarded the Nobel Prize even if they have Nobel Prize -level results … This is the current situation and reality in the field of science. "
"Fortunately, Xing Hai Technologies' '100% Science Lab.' The audition of this game has beaten many pseudo-experts back to their original form. You can see at a glance how much real knowledge you have in your stomach. This game has become the most intuitive evaluation standard.
"Now, the country has introduced a new project funding application standard. In the project team, those who have successfully entered the game" Science Lab "will be given priority. The more spots that enter the game, the easier it is to apply for research and development funds … A game has become an important standard."
"In our research and development team, three people have entered the game. This is enough to prove the level of our team. I think it won't be as difficult as in previous years when we apply for research and development funds."
The tutor breathed a sigh of relief. More than half of his hair had turned white, but it was not because he burned his brain doing research. Instead, it was because he was worried about obtaining research funds. Every year, he had to travel to a large number of places and participate in a large number of dinner parties. This involved a lot of energy and even affected the normal research and development work.
Now, a standard to measure the true level had appeared. It was clear at a glance who was good and who was not. There was no need to perform and argue about who the research funds should be given to. Everything was decided by strength.
From this point of view, the "100% Science Lab" released by Xing Hai Technologies had directly reversed the research environment of the entire Z country.
Li Yan nodded in agreement. Looking at the white hair on his tutor's head and listening to his rueful words, he felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
He said to himself, "Tutor, we don't need to" beg "anymore in the future."
