Who is this person?

Ye Fan was filled with disdain and decided to return to the office to write an article criticizing this negative phenomenon.

If you can bring up a topic, stir up a lot of popularity, and also increase your own popularity!

Even the title has already been figured out - "The 'Bow Headed Tribe' in the Subway - Starting from a Popular Culture"

With this in mind, he quietly aimed his phone at Zhang Yuan, preparing to use the captured counter example as a supporting image for the article.

He glanced at Zhang Yuan's phone screen again and frowned.

"Eh, I'm not in love with a anime girl. It's a super brain."

"It can't be used for illustration anymore."

Of course, he has watched this popular TV program all over the country. The 'Super Brain' app is specially developed for audition contestants.

Players who have confidence in their intelligence can ask questions on their phones, and those who rank in the top 1000 each season can qualify for the audition. After the audition, you can go to the real scene to showcase your skills.

Because it is an online selection process, many people use computers to cheat, resulting in unreliable overall results. However, during the audition, these cheaters always show off their flaws.

"Quick calculation, I can do this too!"

Ye Fan peered curiously, eager to try. He also learned mental arithmetic when he was a child, and now he subconsciously wants to compare with Zhang Yuan.

88.8 * 8+88.88 * 8-8.99/8.88=... (keep 4 significant digits)

Zhang Yuan thought for a few seconds and directly wrote the answer.

"1420"

Is it so fast? "Ye Fan was surprised in her heart." Although as long as you keep four significant digits, you just omitted the decimals... This question is a bit interesting

However, he didn't pay much attention and thought that Zhang Yuan had been calculating for a long time.

Next question, Zhang Yuan pointed a little further.

"Ln (40) (retain 3 significant digits)"

This time, the two are standing on the same starting line.

Ye Fanmao exerted all his strength and racked his brains to think.

"Wait a minute, how should the logarithmic function be calculated? What is the bottom line formula."

For a moment and a half, my head was a bit messy.

I tried hard and said, "ln (40)=ln (4)+ln (10), and... oh, no, I still can't figure it out. Do I have to memorize some logarithmic table

Zhang Yuan once again wrote the answer on the screen.

"3.69"

"The answer is correct!"

Ye Fan widened her eyes as if she had seen a ghost.

He hasn't figured out how to calculate logarithms yet, there's no way he can do it.

At this point, the other party started the next question again.

"Sin (24 °) (retain 3 significant digits)"

What is this? How can trigonometric functions be calculated? Double angle formula? It's not right either.

Sin (24 °), it's impossible to calculate it by hand!

I saw this person writing the answer on the screen again: "0.407"

"The answer is correct!"

"..."

Continuously suffering invisible blows, Ye Fan's head was full and he could only give up treatment.

He was also embarrassed to ask, but instead searched through his phone and found the answer he wanted.

"I see. It requires Taylor series expansion to calculate logarithms or trigonometric functions by hand... Alas, it is normal to count these long trained people!"

He couldn't help but curl his lips and thought unconvinced, 'What's so remarkable about being able to do a quick calculation?'? This skill is completely useless. No matter how fast a person can calculate, can it compare to a computer?

Perhaps, another article could be written to criticize educational institutions that teach mental arithmetic, as there is no need to burden children and learn irrelevant things.

Just thinking about it this way, I quietly took out my phone in my hand, opened the computer software, and thought to myself, 'Can't I keep up with the speed of my computer, can't I keep up with the speed of your mental calculation?'?

Zhang Yuan faintly felt the sharp edge receding, as if someone was watching him. He glanced left and right, but didn't notice anything.

But he didn't pay too much attention either.

thief? Haha, I haven't brought any cash with me, the only valuable item is my phone, and I have it in my hand.

And the things on my phone screen are not particularly private, and even if someone glanced at them, they wouldn't lose a piece of flesh.

After working on a whole set of questions, the final score popped up on the screen: "Congratulations! The final time was 312.42 seconds, SSS, ranking 28 today

"Please keep up your efforts."

A anime girl's expression of admiration popped up on the screen.

Only ranked 28th.

It seems to be a bit worse than expected.

Zhang Yuan said to himself, "There are still many geniuses in this world, and it's normal to have this score."

If you train for another period of time, your grades may improve again. But there's no need for that anymore. He doesn't participate in any competitions, and his arithmetic skills are almost sufficient.

Simply click on the leaderboard.

"First place, ultimate eternity, in 0.01 seconds."

"Second place, writing novels eats dirt, taking 0.07 seconds."

"Third place, can you support genuine copies? It takes 0.11 seconds."

"Fourth place, when can I take leave? It takes 0.12 seconds."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said that humans cannot complete 20 questions in 0.01 seconds. These results must have been obtained through a program after using screen reading software to capture information.

Some people just like this, pretending to be very capable by using external devices.

"It is impossible for a person's computing speed to be comparable to that of a hook, so he has put off this aspect of thinking."

We have arrived at Longqiao Station, please get off the bus. Yuanda Industrial and Commercial Bank reminds you to be careful when going out and pay attention to your foot safety

Watching Zhang Yuan leave, Ye Fan is still in a daze.

For longer formulas, the speed of the computer really cannot match the speed of the other person's mental calculation!

Who is this person? Calculate champion?

Ye Fan reminisced hard about how long it took to complete 20 questions from the last Super Brain champion.

"How long has it been..."

300 seconds? 200 seconds? It seems incorrect.

He searched again, and ten thousand alpacas floated by in his heart.

313.6 seconds!

Exactly one second more than the number I just saw.

...

The attribute of intelligence is composed of three factors, namely memory, reasoning ability, and language ability. Quick arithmetic may not necessarily mean high intelligence, but it undoubtedly represents a higher level of reasoning ability than ordinary people.

Throughout the entire training process, the exaggerated pace of progress also excited Zhang Yuan.

From a rusty head to a flexible head, it only takes one night!

He even had another little speculation in his heart: perhaps... the speed of learning other subjects is also so fast!

I have a vague feeling in my heart that this is an extravagant hope.

Becoming an omnipotent scientist like Newton is no longer possible in this era.

There has never been the next Newton or Einstein in history, because the knowledge system of the entire civilization is already too large and large for the human brain to carry this knowledge.

No, it's difficult to carry even one thousandth of the knowledge!

There have been too many stunning and brilliant figures in history, who have laid the foundation of the knowledge system of the entire civilization.

From the First Industrial Revolution to the present, in a period of several hundred years, the entire world has undergone earth shattering changes.

But there has not been much improvement in the innate intelligence level of humans, and they still use very primitive brains.

Calculus was taught in universities 200 years ago, but calculus is still taught in universities today. It's not that science has not made progress, but that the intelligence of ordinary people is like this.

So, modern humans are not smarter than those in the 21st century, but they require more knowledge to master.

To create new knowledge, one must first climb onto the shoulders of these giants. How difficult is it?

"If that's really possible..."

Zhang Yuan hopes to find the points he is most interested in, and then add some useful things to this knowledge peak, which is already great enough.
