Chapter 427 Save Money!
The top four, Gustav, Jiang Xiaoping, Sato Masanobu, and Song He, all received perfect scores of 10!
The twenty or so people behind all got 9 points!
The remaining players all scored 8 points!
After a brief silence, the audience burst into applause!
The college students who came to watch the competition were shocked. Real masters in the industry were so skilled!
"Awesome, I haven't even finished being stunned for ten minutes. The big guys have already judged the entire city's road network!"
"Perhaps you have done your homework beforehand? But it's great to come prepared. I also prepared a little, but I didn't understand anything!"
"It's so scary. The three top guys really can't decide the winner. By the way, who is the fourth Song He with perfect scores?"
"Yes, who is Song He? It sounds familiar...does it have the same name as the inventor of Song Hesu?"
"It should be, this name is quite popular."
“Maybe he’s the inventor of Song Hesu?”
"How is it possible that microbiologists come here to design roads? Are you out of your mind?"
Someone noticed Song He's name. After all, it's at the top of the list of the perfect score camp, so it's hard not to notice.
But almost everyone thought it was a person with the same name. Who would have thought that the creator of Song Hesu would actually work part-time?
In the last row of the auditorium, Wei Liqun, wearing a mask and sunglasses, sat with the driver.
The two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
They had been listless, but the moment the results came out on the big screen, their backs straightened up!
"The boss won first place!" the driver sighed, "It seems like there is a real chance of winning?"
"Unexpected!" Wei Liqun nodded, "But finding congested roads is not a hard skill. The boss has been working in Luteng for a while, and there are only a few traffic jams. Just ask around and find out."
The driver nodded, "This round only counts ten points. The difference between first and last place is only two points. There is no difference!"
"Pray that we can win in the second round!" Wei Liqun took a breath and said in an expectant tone, "If we win, the company will significantly expand production and all employees will receive salary increases and bonuses!"
The two of them watched the game in silence, their eyes full of uneasiness, but they were completely out of their previous listlessness. Their first victory gave them hope and they decided to watch the game seriously!
On the field, around the sand table, the players were silent.
The chatter and laughter before the start of the game disappeared. Everyone looked serious and stared at the sand table silently.
The contestants sit in different postures, but their bodies are neatly motionless, like a group of Zen monks, so focused that they turned into stone statues!
Even if you can't win, with thousands of people watching, at least you can't lose too badly!
Whether it is the players around you or the audience on the field, they will all be members of the industry in the future. How can they lose face in front of many peers?
In the second round of life and death, you must fight with all your strength!
A team of staff showed up again to hand out...tablets to the players!
"Now, announce the rules of the second round!" Mayor Li patted the microphone.
“The goals for the second round are divided into two parts, funding and congestion rate!”
"Contestants need to modify the roads in the sandbox city to reduce the congestion rate! At the same time, we must also save funds for road modifications!"
"The final score will be based on congestion rate and fund consumption!"
The players nodded one after another, and everyone fully understood the scoring criteria.
After all, money is an important factor in real engineering renovation, and it is impossible to spend it without restraint.
If there is no upper limit on money, and hundreds of two-way 32-lane roads are built without any thought, and hundreds of viaducts are built, and the roads are smooth and extend in all directions, how can there be any traffic jams? Elementary school students can reduce the congestion rate to single digits!
"Contestants, please open your tablet. There is an electronic sandbox program inside!"
"The program cannot simulate the congestion rate, it can only simulate the funds required to modify the route!"
"After everyone completes the route modification on the tablet computer, click submit. Our staff will manually arrange the sand table, use the sand table to test the congestion rate, and obtain a score after comprehensive analysis!"
"The competition lasts two hours, and there is only one chance to hand in the paper. Please be careful!"
After Mayor Li finished speaking, a two-hour countdown lit up on the big screen.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense!
The contestants were busy, clicking frantically on their tablets, trying back and forth.
Song He also opened the electronic sandbox program and started operating it.
The program is quite simple. Just poke a certain road section with your finger and you can make selections in the function bar. There are many options.
Lane changes can be made and cost only a few thousand dollars.
The road can be widened, but you have to consider whether there are buildings on both sides. The price of building demolition is quite expensive!
There are also viaducts, ramps, forks, tunnels, and cross-river bridges. The price per 100 meters is very different!
The demolition prices in different urban areas are also completely different!
On the far west side, close to the old city, there are some dilapidated small houses from the last century. Citizens have been looking forward to demolishing them for half their lives, and the prices are relatively low.
In the CBD area on the east side, there are many high-rise buildings on the water. If you demolish a skyscraper at will, the price will be astronomical. The cost of funds will increase by several digits in an instant. The increase is heart-pounding!
Song He took a deep breath and opened his laptop.
He needs to build another mathematical model and add financial factors into it!
It took Song He twenty minutes to memorize the price of land in the entire city and the price per hundred meters of various projects, put his hands on the keyboard, and started writing!
The mathematical model had just started to be written when suddenly two staff members walked onto the sand table and bent over to get busy!
Someone submitted a plan!
Looking up, I saw Gustav with a beard standing next to the sand table, holding a tablet and some sketch papers in his hands. He stared at the sand table seriously, reaching out to guide the staff from time to time.
Song He was secretly shocked, this bearded brother was so decisive! How long has it just started? Are we going to hand in the papers early without checking?
The surrounding contestants also expressed shock. Gustav handed in the paper too quickly, which shocked everyone greatly!
Song He kept writing mathematical modeling while looking at the sand table from time to time.
Soon, a smile appeared on his lips, as if he had witnessed his opponent's fatal flaw!
