In order to facilitate the on-site debate competition later, Liu Mengding's hotel is near Fudan University. Although the hotel prices in this area are very expensive, this little money is not a problem for Liu Meng at all.

Because the three best rooms were booked, after checking in at the hotel front desk, a duty manager personally took a few people to the room, ready to provide various services of the hotel at any time.

Among the three rooms, Gan Shuangshuang and Yu Xiaoxin have one, Bai Xiaofu and Dong Xiaoxian have one, and Liu Meng has one room. At the same time, Liu Meng's room was also used as a place for several people to participate in the online debate elimination round. After opening the door, Liu Meng found that the hotel had placed 5 Apple notebooks in the living room according to the requirements of his reservation.

"Mr. Liu, these are 5 high-end Apple laptops that have been rented according to your requirements, and the corresponding headset peripherals are also selected according to your requirements. You can take a look and let us know if you are not satisfied with anything. The manager on duty smiled and said to Liu Meng.

Liu Meng nodded, and immediately motioned to Gan Shuangshuang and the four of them to start the computer to see if it was easy to use.

In the past few days, the laptop is about the game to be played at two o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Meng has no intention of being polite to the manager, and is ready to let a few people check the computer before letting the manager go. At the same time, Liu Meng also started his computer.

As the leading teacher, Liu Meng can also use his account and password to enter the online debate platform of Huaguo Debate Network to watch the game and even make comments. Of course, it is more important to monitor the fairness of the game.

Liu Meng checked the computer and said, "The network signal of your hotel is stable, right?" We have a network competition in the afternoon, and there must be no difference in the signal in the middle. ”

The manager on duty didn't seem surprised that someone was participating in an online competition in the hotel, and smiled after listening to Liu Meng's words: "Mr. Liu, please rest assured, our hotel's power supply and network signal are very stable, even if there is a problem." There are also immediate response plans. Also, if I'm not mistaken, you're taking your students to the National Collegiate Debate Tournament online, right? ”

After listening to the manager's words, Liu Meng couldn't help but look at him with a slight surprise, and asked, "What, there are other teams staying in your hotel?" ”

The manager smiled: "Our Glorious Sun Hotel is the best hotel near Fudan University. Naturally, it is more popular. ”

Liu Meng didn't hear the news of other debates, and couldn't help but complain in his heart - this hotel manager has a strong sense of keeping customers' information confidential.

Spit and complain, Liu Meng knows that the rules of the hotel are just as beneficial to several people in Taoyuan.

After checking the computer and looking at the three rooms again, after making sure that there were no problems, Liu Meng asked the manager on duty to leave.

Before lunchtime, Liu Meng and the others gathered in front of the computer to log in to the Huaguo Debate Network to check the online debate and the relevant information of the upcoming National College Student Debate Competition. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles are all very necessary preparations.

Through the information on the Internet, Liu Meng and others knew that there were a total of 48 university debate teams participating in the online debate. And after the online debate knockout. In the end, only 12 debating teams were able to go to Fudan University to participate in the live debate, which is the final. Then the final four finalists will be selected through the finals, and they will go to Xiangjiang to participate in this International University Heroes Debate on behalf of the Chinese mainland.

The online debate knockout round adopts the method of drawing lots for two teams to PK two into one, that is, you have to win two rounds of debate in a row to pass the online debate and participate in the finals of the National College Student Debate Competition.

"Look, the names of the participating universities have been announced!" Several people were learning about this information on the Internet, and Bai Xiaofu suddenly shouted.

Several people looked at his computer screen. I found that page on my computer and immediately saw the name of the participating university.

"Wow. Fudan University, Jiangsu Zhejiang University, Jiangsu University, Yan University, Yan Normal University, Renmin University, Zhongshan University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Sichuan University, and Nanjing University are all famous universities! Dong Xiaoxian stared at the screen with wide eyes and exclaimed.

Yu Xiaoxin said: "I saw the name of our Taoyuan University at the end, are we the last to sign up?" ”

Bai Xiaofu remembered what happened when he signed up before, and said, "Maybe people think we are an eyesore and deliberately put us at the back." ”

Liu Meng said: "It's useless to say this, don't think about it." It was almost 12 o'clock and we hurried to lunch. Then come back for a little rest and get ready for the afternoon online debate knockout. ”

After speaking, Liu Meng got up and took the four students to have lunch in the restaurant of the hotel, and then each went back to the room for more than 40 minutes, and then gathered again to talk about Liu Meng's living room activities. Enter the online debate platform 15 minutes in advance, debug the various functions of the platform, and prepare for the competition.

It has been several years since the birth of online debate, and now there is a mature software platform and competition system. For example, after entering, the debate teams of the two sides are in the same video room, and on the left side of the platform is a large video frame, which displays the video image of the contestant who is speaking, and the voice is also very clear. On the right side of the platform, there are eight small video boxes showing real-time video images of the owners of the two debate teams.

At the top of the platform, the referee's information is displayed, including the reporting channel. There is only one referee for each game in the online debate knockout round, and after the results are decided, if any team feels that it is unfair, they can request a re-referee based on the video and audio recording of the game through the reporting channel.

And because of the existence of video and audio recordings, the referee will generally rule impartially.

At the bottom of the platform, the number of onlookers for the debate is also displayed. There is no doubt that if a debate tournament has more onlookers, it means that it will attract more attention and be more exciting.

After Gan Shuangshuang and the four of them debugged the functions of the online debate platform, the time finally came to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the online debate elimination round of the National College Student Debate Tournament officially began.

Liu Meng entered the online debate platform through his computer as the leader of the audience, and saw a countdown. After the countdown ended, the names of the 48 schools on the screen appeared in a chaotic form, and after 5 seconds, they were rearranged to become the words so-and-so university vs so-and-so university.

Among them, Taoyuan University vs Dongshan University!

However, any university that can be named after the provincial capital city of the province is generally a key university supported by the province, and it is also one of the famous universities in China. Dongshan University is a well-deserved first university in Dongshan Province, but compared with Jiang University, Jiangsu Zhejiang University, Sichuan University and other universities that have performed well in the debate, although Dongshan University has participated in the competition every time, its results have not been outstanding once.

In other words, among the 48 universities that participated in the debate, Dongshan University was the weaker one.

And the opponent's strength is not strong, which seems to be good news for the Taoyuan University debate team.
