Conan: The Mechanic

What was finally distributed to Conan, Fujiwara, and Reiko Akita were three wired earphones and three answer books, and the connections of the three wired earphones had been connected to the multi-head interface of a nearby music player in advance.

"Let's get started." Sitting casually next to the broadcasting machine, Gregory watched the three of them signal that they were ready, and pressed the play button to start the test audio. "go!"

[The first question, you will hear a number of pure-tempered tones based on 440Hz, and their timbres may be normal pitches, or slightly higher or lower than normal pitches. Please refer to all the pitches you hear belong to sound, and the difference compared to the standard sound. Note that some of the articulations may be special or composed of multiple sounds. 】

"A special tone?" Conan held the pen and tapped the answer book nervously with the tip of the pen. "What kind of special law?"

Just then, the first note rang - a slightly higher than standard mi.

【Mi+】——Conan

【E3+】——Fujiwara

At the same time, Qiu Ting Lianzi also calmly wrote down her listening results in the notebook.

【411】

Cents, this is the meaning of the number written by Qiu Ting Reiko - will take C3 (ordinary do) as the benchmark, then the pitch frequency of C4 (treble do) in Hertz is exactly twice that of C3, using C3 as the benchmark point To put it into words, C4 is 1200 cents higher than C3. Qiuting Lianzi's 411 means that this sound is 411 cents higher than C3, and the pitch frequency is 2 times the (411/1200) power of C3, which is about a quarter of a sound higher than Mi.

As for the next question, Fujiwara, the only one of the three who did not have an absolute sense of sound, showed a rather shocked expression. Then he glanced at Gregory in confusion, and then looked at Qiuting Reiko who was writing something with a smile on his face. , and after thinking for a while, Conan wrote an answer with a somewhat uncertain look.

[Absolute pitch...is it a monster? 】

The reason why Fujiwara raised such confusion was because a crisp clapping sound came from the earphones. Yes, the test asked them to hear the pitch of this clapping sound.

For ordinary people, such a sound cannot be related to something like pitch at all, but for the owner of absolute pitch, there will never be any distance between the two.

The next sound has returned to the normal piano sound. Although Fujiwara was a little disappointed in the previous question, he was still ready to recognize this sound in the fullest state, but he found that this sound was a bit strange: it was the same sound as the normal sound. In comparison, it seems a little... strange?

Where does this feeling come from...Fujiwara frowned, chewing the sound carefully. But he also knew he had to make a decision soon, betting on whether his unease was just an illusion or something.

He finally chose to think that this sound is indeed a bit strange, and the reason for the strangeness is that under careful taste, this sound is lower than the standard sound.

【B4-】——Fujiwara

[1086] - Qiu Ting Reiko's answer was written down before him. Obviously, she has indeed undergone much better training than Fujiwara in this regard, and she also has a much better talent, so she is still able to handle it with ease. When Fujiwara was still hesitating whether there was really a gap, Qiu Ting Reiko was much more certain: B4, that is, the sound of si is 1088, and although this sound is not much different, it is indeed lower than standard si.

But when I wrote this, even Qiu Ting Lianzi was a little murmured - although this sound is indeed lower than the standard sound, but this headset is an electronic product after all, in case the sound difference comes from the failure of machine conduction, Then the experiment would be pointless.

And the next sound—to be precise, the following group of sounds made Qiu Ting Reiko feel a little amused.

It was the alarm sound of the TV station. When Emperor Showa died before... No, this seems to be longer than the music of the Emperor's death, and it seems to have been transposed, which is not quite the same as the string of voices in Qiu Ting Lianzi's mind. Same. But...isn't it difficult?

(This is the tone of the siren when Japan issued a declaration of war)

Thinking like this, Qiu Ting Reiko wrote down all the answers at random, but found that although Fujiwara's response was also very fast, Conan seemed to be completely stumped by this question. He didn't write anything, and his face was completely confused.

Is this question... difficult? It's not difficult!

Fujiwara, who was on the side, also quickly realized Conan's predicament, and Gregory seemed to have anticipated this.

After that, there were two more chord tests, a set of unusually short and complex piano chords and a relatively long-lasting electric guitar chord with a blasting tone. After two such chords, the first part of the test is over. The sound of the symphony followed, and Gregory handed the three scores to the three. "Look, it's what's on here, and look carefully to see if there are any wrong notes."

Brahms' Symphony No. 1 in C minor may be a little confusing to those who are not familiar with music, but all three of them know that this is a track with a total duration of more than 45 minutes.

It looks like a rather boring protracted battle.

……

55 minutes later.

"So, what's the use of letting us listen to those pieces just now?" After finishing the set of questions that were attached to the first symphony, which were similar to the ones at the beginning, Conan looked in front of him and applauded~www.readwn .com ~ congratulations to Gregory who completed the test, so speechless. "It's clear that there is no problem anywhere, and it makes us waste so much time."

"Yeah, isn't it a bit too torturous," Fujiwara also showed a rather tired look. "Is it really a serious test, not a torture for us?"

"Well, of course this is a test," Gregory glanced at Qiuting Lianzi with an inscrutable smile. "Well... let's compare the answers. Considering Miss Lianzi's skills, it's not uncommon for me to make her answer the standard answer."

Low ordinary sound-clapping hands-slightly low ordinary sound-war alarm-piano chords-electronic music chords

Among these six test questions, although Fujiwara and Conan can achieve the same direction as Qiuting Reiko's answer in half of the questions (completely incomparable in terms of accuracy), they each have two questions and three questions and Qiuting Reiko's answer. Different.

Fujiwara couldn't hear the clapping of hands and the piano chords that were difficult to identify due to the stacking of too many notes. This is within the range that everyone can expect. After all, the former does require absolute pitch, while the latter is too complicated.

But Conan, as a person with absolute pitch, made more mistakes.

He didn't hear that the second normal sound was slightly lower than the normal si, and instead filled in the normal si directly. And in the two questions of war alarm and electronic music chords, he simply handed in a blank.

And even more amazing things are yet to come.

In the set of questions they did after listening to the entire first symphony, Fujiwara and Conan's answers were not the same as Miss Qiuting Reiko's answer except for the only piano sound in several questions. Instead, it is generally one tone lower, but they are almost exactly the same.
