Chapter 147 Dream Warning Device
"Comrade, congratulations!"
This prop is a valuable asset to the revolutionary cause!
Whether used for combat or construction, it will contribute to our common goal.
Please make good use of it and let it become a driving force for our progress!
Keep up the good work, victory is just ahead!
Just as Natasha congratulated Lin Chen with an excited tone, Lin Chen was filled with curiosity.
What is this dream warning device?
"Natasha? What exactly is this?"
"Comrade, the dream early warning device you obtained is a revolutionary piece of equipment with great strategic significance!"
It allows you to foresee potential life-threatening situations within the next 72 hours in the Dream Lab, enabling you to prepare in advance and ensure the safety of you and your comrades.
Do you need it installed in the Dream Lab now?
"Of course!"
Just as Lin Chen nodded, a red wooden door suddenly appeared in the dream space he was in.
On the wooden door frame, there was an alarm that looked like a police light.
"Comrade, the dream warning device has been installed!"
"So fast? How do I use it?"
"Please come forward."
Lin Chen walked towards the red wooden door.
When they were still a few steps away, the wooden door opened by itself.
Behind the door is a small room that resembles a home theater.
Inside, besides a red sofa, there was a large screen that covered an entire wall.
"Comrade, if you encounter any life-threatening danger in the future, the alarm in this room will go off."
You are welcome to enter this room and watch images of the future!
So high-end?
Lin Chen walked around inside and found that it was actually a small home theater.
What's being shown here is likely a scene of him facing danger in the future.
But obviously, the probability of this happening is very low, so this thing is probably just for decoration most of the time.
But it's something that can save your life, so it's better to be prepared.
……
Time passed, and before long, Lin Chen left the dream laboratory at Xiao Li's call.
When he opened his eyes, Xiao Li was watching him from the front row.
"woke up?"
"Ah."
"You little rascal, you fell asleep as soon as you got on the plane. I've never seen anyone sleep so soundly on a plane before."
Xiao Li made a joke, then said to Lin Chen and the others:
"Students, the plane is about to land. Please take out your phones and adjust the time. Melbourne and Beijing are 3 hours apart!"
After getting off the plane, we'll move as a group. We came safely, and we want to return safely!
"understood!"
The plane landed quickly, and upon exiting the airport, they were greeted by representatives from the IMO organizing committee.
Although this person in charge had the same yellow skin and black eyes as Lin Chen and his group, he communicated with them almost exclusively in English.
Although Xiao Li was born in Tsinghua or Peking University, his forte is mathematics, and his spoken English is also somewhat hesitant.
After speaking a few words in English, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Wang, I saw in the information that you also graduated from the mathematics department of Tsinghua or Peking University, right? I also graduated from the mathematics department of Tsinghua or Peking University. We are both from China, so let's speak Chinese?"
“No, Mr. Shaw, I already have an Australian green card.”
Mr. Wang said with a look of disgust.
"And Mr. Xiao, how come you, a graduate of Tsinghua and Peking University, can't even speak English well? No wonder you've stayed in China all this time..."
You really should learn English properly and go out to see the world, instead of constantly being busy with things like math olympiads.
Mathematics departments abroad are far superior to those in China. In China, you'll likely only be stuck doing dead-end jobs like teaching math olympiad to kids.
"This guy is so arrogant!"
"Why did the IMO assign us such a receptionist?"
"So what if you got a green card? What's there to be proud of?"
Hearing Xiao Li's conversation with this person, the members of the math Olympiad team were somewhat indignant.
Chen Xiaoxiao then whispered to Lin Chen, "See, now you know why I don't like Tsinghua and Peking Universities?"
"It is somewhat annoying."
Lin Chen nodded.
Although Mr. Wang's attitude wasn't great, he still managed to do his job well in the end.
They safely transported everyone to the University of Melbourne, the venue for this IMO competition.
The University of Melbourne is not well-known in the country.
But it is actually a long-established public university.
It ranks 12th in the QS World University Rankings, even higher than Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
Mr. Wang is currently pursuing his PhD at the University of Melbourne.
Along the way, he proudly introduced it to Lin Chen and the others:
"The University of Melbourne is a world-class public university."
Our school has several Nobel laureates!
This place is not just training college students, but also future world-class talents!
Dear students, if you manage to win a gold medal at this year's IMO, you might want to consider coming here.
Domestic education is all about exam preparation; the real learning happens abroad.
Chen Xiaoxiao put on her headphones halfway through Mr. Wang's speech.
Lin Chen also borrowed one from her.
Instead of listening to all this nonsense, music is much more appealing.
Upon arriving at their accommodation, another teacher in charge began arranging for the students to check in and rest.
Xiao Li then went to discuss the specific details and situation of this math Olympiad with Mr. Wang.
He didn't come back for half a day.
Seeing that another teacher in charge, Teacher Zhu, had a furrowed brow, Lin Chen suggested that they go find Xiao Li.
Chen Xiaoxiao also offered to help.
The three of them then went outside together.
For this IMO competition, some signposts were specially set up at the University of Melbourne.
The three of them soon found the temporary office of the competition organizing committee.
Inside, Xiao Li was seen communicating with several foreigners.
However, those foreigners spoke English very quickly and had an Australian accent.
Xiao Li spoke haltingly to them, and it took her a long time to get a single sentence out.
As for Mr. Wang, his whereabouts are unknown.
"Teacher Xiao, what happened?"
Teacher Zhu stepped forward and asked.
"Well... their English has an accent, so I can't understand some of it."
Xiao Li said, feeling ashamed.
"Where is that Mr. Wang?"
He said he had to leave first.
"Huh? How could that guy be so irresponsible?"
As leaders of the math Olympiad team, Xiao Li and Teacher Zhu have led the team abroad before.
At least in their past experience, they have had no problem communicating with people in daily life.
However, this time, they couldn't quite understand what the Australians in front of them were saying.
Their only hope, Mr. Wang, left irresponsibly, leaving them helpless in place for the time being.
"Lin Chen, they're speaking too fast, even I can't understand them."
Chen Xiao said with a helpless expression.
Lin Chen patted her shoulder: "It's not your fault. Those people were probably doing it on purpose. They deliberately sped up their speech and used local accents. I'm afraid even Americans would only be able to understand half of what they were saying."
Although Australia is an English-speaking country, there are actually significant differences in English between different countries.
Just like the different accents of Mandarin in many parts of China, there are northern accents, southern accents, and accents from western Sichuan and northwestern China.
If everyone could slow down their speech, perhaps everyone could understand each other.
But if they speak quickly, you can only guess.
The current situation is somewhat similar.
Those people on the organizing committee should have been well aware of this, but they still deliberately sped up their speech.
It's obvious they're deliberately trying to cause trouble.
"Hey sir, did you even understand what I meant?"
At this moment, the person in charge of the organizing committee asked another question, then looked at Xiao Li and Teacher Zhu, who looked bewildered, and smiled back at his colleagues.
"These Chinese people don't seem to speak English very well."
