Chapter 24: Teacher, is this the question you asked?
Luo Yao walked in front, while Wang Ye and Wu Tianming whispered behind.
"Why is Luo Yao so obsessed with Professor Xia? Is this guy obsessed with Professor Xia?"
Wu Tianming gave him a sullen look and said, "Come on, do you think everyone is like you, thinking of love whenever they see a woman?"
Wang Ye chuckled: "That's because you don't understand the good of women."
"You talk as if you've been in love before." Wu Tianming exposed Wang Ye without mercy.
"No, aren't we discussing Santu? Why are you bringing me into this?" Wang Ye glared at Wu Tianming and decided to act rogue and change the subject.
"Professor Xia is young, and it's not like he doesn't have..." The second half of Wang Ye's sentence got stuck in his throat when he saw Xia Qing suddenly appear from the side path.
"Isn't it nothing?" Xia Qing stopped and narrowed her eyes, which made Wang Ye feel something was wrong.
Holy shit! I actually heard it!
"No, Professor Xia, I'm saying that with your level, it's not impossible for you to become an academician in the future." Wang Ye was talking nonsense and immediately made up a sentence to deal with it.
Xia Qing glanced at him and continued walking forward with an expressionless face.
Wu Tianming sighed and put his arm around Wang Ye's shoulder, saying, "The Great Devil has discovered you, so I'll give you a song called Liang Liang."
Wang Ye reached out and slapped his mouth, saying with difficulty: "It's all my fault."
Xia Qingren had left, and the two knew they couldn't delay any longer. They hurried to the classroom and saw that the person sitting in the first row was Luo Yao.
Wu Tianming and Wang Ye: ...
They didn't dare sit in the front row in Xia Qing's class, but since Luo Yao didn't even have a book, they had no choice but to sit there anyway.
Xia Qing's class is about integrated circuit EDA technology.
The scary thing about this course is that it combines physics, integrated graphics, computational mathematics, microelectronics, topological logic, materials science, and artificial intelligence, subjects that will make you dizzy just by looking at the names.
The main point is that people go to class confused and leave get out of class confused again!
There’s a saying at Tokyo Institute of Technology: “Nine out of ten people who go crazy during exam season are microelectronics majors.”
This sentence is enough to illustrate the misfortune of students majoring in microelectronics, and one-third of their misfortune is caused by the course of integrated circuit EDA technology.
Xia Qing, who teaches this course, is a perverted fighter and is known as the "Big Devil".
The bell rang for class and Xia Qing walked in with a stack of things.
"Today's class test."
Xia Qing briefly and concisely stated the main content of the lesson, causing the students to wail.
"A test?! Can I say I forgot everything I learned in last class?"
"Give me some slack, why is going to college so painful?"
"Why do we need tests? Are universities using this as well?"
Wu Tianming looked at Wang Ye beside him with a bitter look on his face and whispered, "I bet this test will kill me! Help!"
Wang Ye looked nervously at the thick stack of papers on the podium, feeling that the other party was going to eat him.
Xia Qing glanced at the students below and found that they all hunched their heads like ostriches, except for Luo Yao who was sitting upright and looking at her.
After all, he is just a child and doesn't know his place.
The other party definitely has no idea how difficult integrated circuit EDA technology is when he first arrives.
So what if you are good at math, physics and chemistry?
There is actually not much overlapping content in high school courses . Each subject has its own independent system and thinking method, so there are ways to get high scores.
But integrated circuit EDA technology is different. It involves comprehensive knowledge of multiple disciplines and emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary and comprehensive thinking. The high school approach is unlikely to work here.
Xia Qing thought of the signature at the bottom of the email she wrote to the editor of Semiconductor. She really wanted to see how Luo Yao performed, but before that, she still needed to ask Luo Yao first.
"Luo Yao, you just started school yesterday, so you don't have to take this test."
Xia Qing actually didn't want Luo Yao to take this test. After all, a smart person could tell from the reactions of the whole class how difficult integrated circuit EDA technology was.
Especially for someone like him who has never studied for a day.
It is simply impossible for him to solve the entire test paper relying solely on his limited knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry!
Originally, Xia Qing wanted to give Luo Yao a way out and let him back down.
Unfortunately, Luo Yao had no idea what "difficult" meant. Instead, he asked expectantly, "Teacher, did you come up with these questions?"
What is the problem?
Xia Qing, who had never been asked this question before, didn't understand why Luo Yao asked this question, but still answered him.
"It's mine."
It turned out that the questions were asked by Professor Xia. That was great. He just wanted to see Professor Xia’s level.
Luo Yao smiled and said, "Then I'll join."
Not only Xia Qing was stunned, but the fifty or so people in the classroom were also stunned.
It seems that the new academic master doesn’t know the cruelty of integrated circuit EDA technology!
Now he says he wants to participate, he will definitely cry and look for his parents soon!
Once upon a time, we were so silly and naive, but we didn’t expect that the top student was the same as us!
Everyone in the silent classroom cast sympathetic glances at Luo Yao, as if they had a premonition of how Luo Yao would scratch his head and sigh next.
Xia Qing couldn't do anything about Luo Yao. She had already given her the chance, so if she didn't cherish it, she couldn't blame her. She immediately handed out the papers, and sure enough, there were gasps from the classroom.
Xia Qing had created this set of test questions to test her recent teaching quality. Now, just by hearing the inhalations in the classroom, she knew it was over.
This class of students is definitely the worst she has ever taught!
Xia Qing glanced down and saw that the group of students had turned into monkeys in a zoo, making all kinds of strange postures in their seats.
The only common feature on their faces was that they all looked confused. Even the study committee member Tang Dong didn't know where to start.
Xia Qing did not give up. He walked down from the podium and passed by the row of students near the door. He looked at their answers one by one. After looking at the answers of the first row of students, Xia Qing had a headache.
It’s okay if you don’t know how to answer some highly professional questions, but how can you not even answer the easy-to-answer questions?
Xia Qing walked to the second row again. The first person was Wang Ye. Wang Ye was already obsessed with calculations on the draft paper. Xia Qing watched for a while and found two mistakes.
Then he looked at Wu Tianming next to Wang Ye.
Except for the multiple-choice questions and true-or-false questions, the entire test paper is very clean, including the argumentation part for the big questions.
Wu Tianming originally wanted to commit a crime against the wind with Wang Ye, but Xia Qing was hanging around them, so they couldn't find any chance at all.
The strict atmosphere of East China University of Technology has always been a major feature of the school, and Xia Qing is a leader in this strict school spirit.
So everyone has the desire to steal but not the courage to do so.
Besides, who can I copy?
Xia Qing sighed silently. She had a premonition that the entire army would be wiped out in this test.
Xia Qing attaches great importance to this exam. The results of this exam can be said to be related to her future teaching methods and difficulty.
Now, looking at the situation, she felt that she had to use the method of teaching kindergarten children, breaking down all the knowledge into pieces and feeding it to them!
"Teacher, I have finished answering the questions. Can I hand in my paper now?"
Xia Qing was feeling depressed when a voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts. Xia Qing looked up and found that Luo Yao was holding his hand politely.
Done?
How is that possible?
After hearing this, the other students who were in a daze all looked up at Luo Yao, their eyes filled with disbelief.
At this speed, could he have just written nonsense on the test paper?
If you don’t know how to answer the questions, don’t answer them. There’s no need to create an image of yourself as a top student!
How did you finish such a difficult test?
Xia Qing walked over quickly and picked up Luo Yao's paper.
The whole paper was indeed filled up.
Xia Qing did not look at the multiple-choice questions and true-or-false questions in front, but went directly to the answer questions at the back.
She looked at the difficult question she had deliberately set - the one about FPGA technology.
[FPGA is an integrated chip based on digital circuits. It is also a programmable logic device. Please use FPGA technology to design a voice recognition program.]
Xia Qing actually put this question at the end to make up the numbers. She knew that this group of students had not yet learned about FPGA, but in order to let them know the knowledge they would learn in the future, Xia Qing decided to let them get in touch with FPGA first.
Logically, this question should be left blank, but now, the blank space below is filled with words.
Luo Yao usually likes to write in the strict Wei style, so Xia Qing can easily understand his answer.
【module speech_recognition_system（
Input wire clk, // clock input
Input wire reset, // reset input
input wire［15:0］audio_input，//Microphone audio input
…
//Configure FFT IP core
fft_core fft_inst（
.clk(clk).
.rst (reset).
.in_audio_data(audio_input).
.out_data(audio_inpu t_fft)
);]
The more Xia Qing read, the more shocked she became. The answer was actually correct!
How is that possible?
For someone who is only on the second day of freshman year, it is impossible to understand what FPGA and IP core are.
She had briefly mentioned IP core to her classmates before, saying that it is an instruction set, function description and code that has been repeatedly verified by chip manufacturers and users.
If you want to make chips more convenient now, you have to use various mature IP cores, otherwise no matter how much money and time you have, it will not be enough.
But what Xia Qing didn't expect was that Luo Yao actually knew this, and the key was that he wrote down the specific IP core name in the answer!
"Luo Yao, do you know FPGA and IP core?"
Luo Yao looked at Xia Qing seriously and said, "I've learned this before."
"Who taught you that?" Xia Qing felt that he might have really picked up a treasure this time.
"Professor Xia, I'm self-taught. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my calculations?"
"I calculated the entire paper twice, there shouldn't be any problem." Luo Yao said puzzledly.
The classroom was extremely quiet. Everyone looked at Luo Yao in disbelief, thinking that he was just pretending to be cool.
FPGA and IP core?
They don’t even know this stuff, so what do you, a newcomer to school, know?
You said you counted it twice in such a short time?
They looked at Wu Tianming and Wang Ye who were sitting next to Luo Yao, wondering if these two were helping to cheat!
Or did Luo Yao peek at their answers?
The students were guessing, but they didn't dare to speak out loud, because they noticed that after Luo Yao finished speaking, Xia Qing actually turned around and walked towards the podium!
