Chapter 25: The collective mentality exploded!
Xia Qing sat on the podium, holding a pen, and began to carefully read Luo Yao's paper from the beginning.
First are the multiple-choice questions.
This question is correct.
The next question is also correct.
Xia Qing kept ticking the answers with her red pen. When she got to the answer questions, she was surprised to find that Luo Yao's answers to both the multiple-choice and true-or-false questions were correct.
Luo Yao...has a solid foundation in integrated circuit EDA technology.
What's going on? Is Luo Yao self-taught?
But if integrated circuit EDA technology is really that easy to learn by oneself, there would be no need for her to come to class.
Xia Qing couldn't figure it out, so she could only continue watching.
Xia Qing had to calculate and draw circuit diagrams to verify the following questions. Half an hour later, Xia Qing finally figured out the four major questions.
She compared her answers with Luo Yao's and found that although Luo Yao's writing process was a bit troublesome, his answers were indeed correct.
At this time, the bell for the end of the first class rang, and Xia Qing asked everyone to hand in their papers.
The students honestly handed in their terrible papers, then did not dare to leave and all sat back in their seats.
With Luo Yao's test paper as a reference answer, Xia Qing was able to correct the test papers much faster.
In particular, many people basically did not touch the big questions at the end, which saved her time.
Five minutes after the bell rang for the second class, Xia Qing had basically finished reading the test paper.
She straightened her papers and stood up.
"I originally thought that none of you would be able to finish this set of papers, but unexpectedly, there is still one person who has finished all of them."
“And it’s a perfect score.”
There was a commotion among the students.
They all knew firsthand how difficult the questions on the test paper were, and many people could not write anything except the word "solution" for the big question at the end.
Now Xia Qing actually said that someone got a perfect score?!
It’s really hard for them to believe!
Study committee member Tang Dong turned even paler. How could someone answer the question that he couldn't?
A candidate who got full marks suddenly popped up in Wu Tianming's mind, but he was not sure. He and Wang Ye looked at each other and saw doubt in each other's eyes.
It seems to be saying, with such a perverted question that requires both drawing a circuit diagram and writing a program, who can get full marks?
"The only person who got full marks was Luo Yao."
When Xia Qing said this, she knew it was indeed a little unbelievable, but Luo Yao wrote the answer in front of her, so why should she doubt it?
She now felt that she had really underestimated Luo Yao as a student.
"Teacher, these questions aren't that difficult. Why did you say I was the only one who got full marks? Didn't the others get full marks?"
Luo Yao felt that Xia Qing was exaggerating.
Xia Qing felt that Luo Yao was being too pretentious.
The other students looked even uglier. Luo Yao actually got full marks!
They realized that Luo Yao seemed to be much more powerful than they had imagined!
He even knows FPGA technology, something you only learn in your senior year!
Where on earth did this monster newcomer come from!
The question is not difficult?
The questions are not difficult, so why can't they answer them? Is it because they don't want to answer them?
Seeing the surprised looks on the faces of the people around him, Luo Yao immediately understood that Xia Qing was not lying.
He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Teacher Ouyang clearly said that the quality of students at East China University of Technology is quite good.
Why do these students still look so stupid?
Just as he was enveloped by disappointment, he heard Xia Qing continue, "No wonder you were able to spot the errors in Professor Ke Zhan's paper. Luo Yao, you were the one who wrote the email to the editor of Semiconductors, weren't you?"
It seems that at least Professor Xia Qing is not stupid.
Luo Yao nodded, remembering what Wu Tianming and the others had told him, and asked, "Did Teacher Ke Zhan really get fired?"
"He bought and sold papers, which is not something a normal teacher would do, so he was fired by the school." Xia Qing became serious when mentioning this matter.
"I hope everyone will learn from this and not make this mistake. Don't be complacent and think that no one will read your paper. Once it's published, people will read it, and you will never know the quality of the people who read your paper."
The students were in an uproar.
From Xia Qing's words just now, they knew that Luo Yao was the mysterious Yao Luo!
They previously believed that anyone who could point out the problems in Ke Zhan's paper would have to be at least a doctoral level person, but now the facts were before them: Yao Luo was actually their classmate!
And he just started school yesterday!
The students in the classroom
They never thought that a top student would suddenly appear in their class!
Not only is this top student younger than them, but his self-taught grades are even better than theirs!
What a concept it is to be able to get full marks from the big devil Xia Qing!
Some people subconsciously glanced at the study committee member Tang Dong and found that his face looked unhappy.
"Okay, I hope everyone will learn more from Luo Yao in the future. As you can see, although Luo Yao hasn't taken my course, his answers surprised me overall."
"All the answers are correct, which shows that there is nothing wrong with his thinking."
These were all words of praise, but Luo Yao lost interest in listening to them. He couldn't help but start thinking about the program he had written on the library computer.
"There's nothing wrong with Luo Yao's thinking, but his problem-solving method could be improved."
Xia Qing's words successfully brought Luo Yao back to his senses from the program algorithm.
Xia Qing began to write on the blackboard.
"For example, for the previous question, you can use the Vivado IP core to configure the audio input acquisition module, input the audio signal from the microphone into the FPGA, and then use the Vivado IP core to configure the MFCC feature extraction module to convert the audio signal into MFCC features."
"To recognize speech, we definitely need to add a classifier. Implementing a KNN classifier on an FPGA is complex, but we used a pre-trained KNN model and loaded it into the FPGA."
“Note that here, we are using Vivado HLS to generate a KNN IP core.”
“Then create a top-level module in Vivado that integrates the audio acquisition module, MFCC feature extraction module, and KNN classifier module into one module. This ensures that the inputs and outputs of the modules are connected correctly.”
"Do you understand what I said above?"
Luo Yao nodded, and Xia Qing continued speaking.
Xia Qing and Luo Yao were talking to one of them, and one of them was listening intently, but it made the other students suffer.
I don't understand, I totally don't understand!
They only learned the concept of IP core, why are there so many words popping up now!
The students soon discovered that apart from being able to understand Chinese, they didn’t understand anything Xia Qing was saying!
Why do those words appear here!
This made them doubt their own IQ!
Wu Tianming and Wang Ye, who were sitting in the first row, felt even worse. They were closest to Xia Qing and Luo Yao, and they couldn't understand what the two top students were saying. They felt like every day was a year.
While the students were in a daze, Xia Qing had already explained to Luo Yao a better way to solve the problem.
She looked at the other students and knew that none of them understood . To take care of them, Xia Qing decided to start from the first multiple-choice question.
"I'm going to start from the beginning now. Everyone, take good notes and find your own shortcomings."
After hearing this, Luo Yao stopped listening and pondered over what Xia Qing had just told him on a piece of draft paper.
Xia Qing glanced at him, did not interfere with him, and continued teaching.
Throughout the class, except for Luo Yao who lowered his head, everyone else stared at the blackboard intently.
Luo Yao kept calculating and didn't notice that the bell for the end of get out of class had rung.
He didn't look up until Xia Qing started assigning homework.
"Okay, today we have an assignment. Everyone should try to develop an IP core on their own. It doesn't have to be too complicated. If you really can't write it, you can also write down your ideas. I have a business trip for the next two weeks, so I will collect the assignments in two weeks."
"Does everyone understand?"
Everyone, including Luo Yao, nodded.
Before leaving, Xia Qing gave her WeChat ID to Luo Yao, asking him to ask her if he had any questions.
“I don’t have WeChat.”
"What about the Penguin?"
“No.”
Luo Yao's answer completely surprised Xia Qing. Such a young kid doesn't even have WeChat and Penguin accounts?
Xia Qing didn't show her surprise. She asked, "So, how do you usually contact others?"
Luo Yao was speechless. Why would the smart Professor Xia ask this question? Don’t they know the functions of mobile phones?
He took out his cell phone and said expressionlessly, "Phone calls and text messages."
Seeing the old-fashioned phone in Luo Yao's hand, Xia Qing couldn't help but say, "Do you need a new phone? I can take you to buy one."
Xia Qing knew that the school had given Luo Yao a reward. She thought Luo Yao had just arrived in the city and didn't know where to buy a mobile phone, so she suggested taking him to buy one.
"No need. A mobile phone only needs the phone and text messaging functions. Other functions are redundant." Luo Yao couldn't understand why modern people put so many software on their phones, so he rejected Xia Qing's kindness.
Xia Qing couldn't force him.
She knew that geniuses often had some quirks, and the admissions teacher Ouyang had also reminded her that Luo Yao had low emotional intelligence, so she was not surprised.
"Okay, then I'll give you both my phone number and email address. You can use whichever one is more convenient for you to contact me."
Luo Yao took the business card Xia Qing handed over, nodded, and said nothing.
Xia Qing didn't want to stare at him anymore. She was pressed for time and had to go to Huaji, so she gave him a few instructions and left with the test paper.
Wu Tianming and Wang Ye came out from the side of the classroom after seeing Xia Qing leave.
"Santu, you really gave us a surprise! We knew you were good, but we didn't expect you to be this strong! Even Professor Xia took the initiative to praise you!"
After Wu Tianming finished speaking, Wang Ye also leaned over and said, "You know what? Professor Xia is also a genius. She is the only national-level young talent at East China University of Technology. We have never seen her actively praise others!"
They were talking when someone suddenly spoke from behind them: "Luo Yao, can you explain this problem to me?"
