Chapter 144: Expertise
"Impossible... Impossible..."
"All the articles I've read say that the Dragon Kingdom will collapse soon, how can it be the second in the world in the future?!"
"Those economic experts, those academic masters... Is it all nonsense? ”
Adam still couldn't believe the incredible truth.
But when he looked back and thought about it, although the Western media was doing negative propaganda day after day, there seemed to be no sign of any fulfillment of what the bricks were saying.
All in all, the collapse is over.
That country has been "collapsing", collapsing stronger and stronger, collapsing bigger and bigger.
"Hahahaha."
Li Qing couldn't help laughing: "What kind of economic expert... In fact, those are all our comrades in the 'bureau'! ”
The "bureau" he refers to actually refers to the Internet joke that will be very popular in the future, the strategic flickering bureau.
According to that paragraph, those Western scholars who preached the "theory of the collapse of the dragon kingdom" were in fact excellent fighters working on the special front, and they were underground comrades who fooled the Western powers into letting down their guard and creating a good environment for the motherland's development.
But when these words sounded to Adam's ears, they meant a lot:
"Bureau? What bureau? ”
Adam couldn't help but have huge doubts about Li Qing's identity and origin.
And this is indeed questionable:
The intelligence capabilities of the technology team are extremely powerful, and ordinary people are like little girls without clothes in front of them, with almost no privacy.
The identity information of Giorno, Misda and others was exposed in front of their technical means within a few minutes, and only Li Qing...
It was as if the mysterious Oriental had suddenly fallen from the sky this morning, and it seemed that he had left no trace in this world.
"Even our technology and intelligence can't find out his information, isn't it..."
Adam couldn't help but think:
"This Li Qing is actually an agent from a special department?"
"That's right... If so, he does have access to information that is difficult for many to obtain... And this information is also a kind of 'knowledge' in a sense. ”
"If he kept asking me questions with this knowledge, I wouldn't have won at all!"
In this moment, Adam realized the horror of his opponent.
He couldn't help but feel nervous.
"No... Calm down... Even so, there is absolutely a limit to what he can know. ”
"I definitely have more knowledge than him, as long as I keep asking each other questions, his reserves will be exhausted sooner or later!"
Adam's expression became serious.
He knew that from now on, he would have to ask questions that the other party would not answer.
And Li Qing's expression was still calm:
As a time-traveler with insight into the next twenty years, he could ask many, many more questions like the one just now.
Adam couldn't answer it anyway, so he just had to answer a random question correctly and he would win the final victory.
Through the observation just now, Li Qing found that the question Adam asked Fogg was nothing more than some popular science knowledge.
Although the questions may be relatively cold, they are nothing more than common sense questions such as astronomy, geography, and human environment.
Li Qing has also received the baptism of the information age, and his knowledge is far better than that of the "ancients", and it is impossible for him not to be able to answer even a single question.
Thereupon...
In Li Qing's calm gaze, the power to ask questions handed over to Adam.
Because Adam had already failed in the first round of answers, if the question he asked was answered by Li Qing, he would be eliminated directly:
"Q: Why can't we just use the ordinary least squares method to estimate the parameters of a simultaneous equation model?"
“........”
“???”
Li Qing was blinded:
What is he saying...
Why do you know every word, but you can't understand it when you connect it?
Wait a minute... Haven't you been asking Fogger about common sense before, how did you come to me and become professional knowledge?!
That's right, Adam got serious.
Although he was rated by the professor as a broad but not proficient, as a serious technician, he still has a lot of hard-core professional knowledge.
If Li Qing didn't have the learning experience in this area, then he would not be able to answer this kind of question at all.
That's it...
In Li Qing's blank expression, the one-minute time limit passed.
"The answer is incorrect."
"The first round is over, the second round begins:"
"Please ask Li Qing to ask a question, with a time limit of one minute."
Adam and Li Qing were unable to answer each other's questions, and the opportunity to ask questions was Li Qing's turn again.
"Damn..."
A trace of cold sweat quietly oozed from Li Qing's forehead:
"I forgot, this guy claims to be a technician in the tech group."
"If he asked such a professional question as I did, I wouldn't have been able to answer it... I had no choice but to survive. ”
He had no choice but to continue to ask the question:
"Q: Who will be the next president of the United States?"
"Oh?"
Adam's pupils shrank.
Even the candidate for the next president of the United States can be grasped in advance, and he can't help but be shocked by the terrifying intelligence power of the forces behind Li Qing.
But at the same time, he is no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning.
Because he had already discovered from Li Qing's weak gaze, this guy had no way to answer the professional questions he asked.
Since neither side can answer the other's questions, the next question is who can ask more questions.
"I don't know."
Adam simply gave up answering.
Then, he calculated Li Qing's shortcomings and casually asked an entry-level professional question:
"Q: Please give us a brief description of how DNS works."
"Tell me a little bit..."
Li Qing's head was big for a while, and he even cursed in his heart:
"I'm studying liberal arts, how can I answer this kind of question?!"
There was no way at all, Li Qing could only choose to give up again.
The second round is over.
Turned to the third and fourth rounds, and the battle still had no end.
Li Qing magically showed the "powerful intelligence strength" of a certain "mysterious force" behind him one after another, but Adam easily used some entry-level network security knowledge to block Li Qing's offensive:
"Q: How does the address resolution protocol work?"
"Q: How does the reverse address translation protocol work?"
Li Qing couldn't answer at all.
In the fifth round of the game, he can only try to ask a tricky question as a delaying tactic.
"I don't know."
Adam cleanly relinquished the fifth round of answering power.
Then, he looked at Li Qing, who was already covered with cold sweat on his forehead, with a playful face, and smiled easily:
"Give up, I've seen through your tricks!"
"You are nothing more than a bold prediction of the future through some information that is difficult for ordinary people to know, which makes it difficult for me to answer."
"But how much such information can there be?"
"I can casually ask a hundred professional questions that you can't answer, but what about you, can you guarantee that your prediction of the future will always be correct?"
The so-called fairness challenge was actually unfair from the beginning.
Most well-informed people are not as knowledgeable as Adam, and professional people cannot be as well-informed as Adam.
He has more knowledge than anyone else, and even if he encounters an opponent who can fight a long battle, he will only win in the end.
"Damn..."
Li Qing clenched his fists tightly, and sweat gradually oozed from his palms:
I have to say that Adam was right.
The future he speaks of is actually the future of his world, and these futures may not be accurate in this other world.
If there is something different, then he who asks the question will be directly judged as a failure.
It's tantamount to walking a tightrope in the air, and every step has the potential to make him fall into the abyss.
"At least, at least find a way to answer the previous question!"
"If I can't even answer a single question, I will definitely lose before the other party in the end!"
Li Qing's heart was already starting to get nervous.
But the reality is like this, and it is cruel beyond change:
No culture is no culture, and those professional knowledge that needs to be mastered by serious study is not something that can be figured out by a person who pats his brain.
Then, in Li Qing's slightly uneasy gaze...
Adam again casually asks a question:
"Q: What is the official name of a short-range wireless transmission technology created in the IEEE 802.11 standard, based on the brand certification confirmed by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance this year?"
When he asked this question, he ignored Li Qing.
Because Adam knew, Li Qing would definitely not be able to answer this question.
The Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance has just been established this year, and the official name of that technology is currently only available to industry insiders.
Sure enough, just as Adam thought...
After hearing this question, Li Qing showed a blank expression as before.
"If you can't answer, hurry up and move on to the next round."
Adam leisurely crossed Erlang's legs and casually urged:
"I know you don't know anything about the Internet, so don't waste your time if you can't answer it."
"Wait..."Li Qing still refused to give up.
The one proposed by Adam sounded very lofty, but Li Qing vaguely felt as if he knew the answer:
"Wireless Ethernet Compatible Alliance? I've never heard of this. ”
"But when it comes to short-range wireless transmission technology..."
"Is that..."
As a patient with heavy addiction to mobile phones, how could Li Qing not know the four letters that were almost engraved into the soul:
“Wi-Fi?”
As soon as the words fell, Adam's face froze, and the following words were immediately displayed on the three-dimensional light curtain:
"Correct."
"In the fifth round, Adam answered incorrectly, and Li Qing answered correctly."
"Winner: Li Qing."
