Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 742
The other students nodded in agreement when they heard the words, and some even echoed and questioned Niu Xiaoqiang's answer. The originally quiet classroom immediately became noisy.

The male teacher's eyeballs stayed on Niu Xiaoqiang's face all the time, with a big exclamation written on his face, and he turned a deaf ear to the noise in the classroom.

Niu Xiaoqiang kept sneering all the time, and when the noise subsided a little, he said with disdain: "Writing certainly belongs to the category of information, but what I said just now is that information does not belong to the concept of any conventional substance. Is this wrong? If You think it is wrong, so please answer me, what kind of conventional material concept should words be classified into?"

"This one……"

The male student was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

The question raised by Niu Xiaoqiang really cannot be answered, because words do not belong to any conventional concept of matter.

Seeing that the other party couldn't answer, he couldn't help but sneered, and retorted mercilessly: "You were confusing concepts just now, or your logical thinking was a bit confused, and you couldn't figure out the relationship between textbooks and words. Textbooks are just carriers of information." , the text on it is the message itself, do you understand? If you understand it, remember it for me, so as not to be embarrassing when it comes out next time!"

The male student was flushed and looked embarrassed and annoyed.Even if he was run on by Niu Xiaoqiang in public, he had no choice. Who told Niu Xiaoqiang to be reasonable?
Another classmate seemed to be displeased with Niu Xiaoqiang's arrogance, so he couldn't help interjecting: "Your previous answer borrowed ideas from the great mathematician Shannon. You said it was a reference, but it was actually plagiarism. What to be proud of."

Niu Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes to look at this person. The other person was a boy wearing glasses, and his demeanor seemed very calm.

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly and asked back: "Student, I don't agree with your point of view. Just like the student just now, your logical thinking is also very problematic. You are simply changing concepts secretly."

The student frowned slightly: "I don't know how I changed the concept secretly?"

"Borrowing is not the same as plagiarism, especially in the academic field. Newton has a good saying, 'The reason why I can achieve what I am today is because I stand on the shoulders of giants', the meaning of this sentence Presumably everyone knows that no matter which subject it is, its knowledge structure is accumulated by generations of pioneers. The knowledge we are learning is the result of predecessors. If you mean it, is our learning process the same? Are you copying the ideas of the predecessors? Do you think it is appropriate to say that?"

Niu Xiaoqiang paused at this point, and then continued: "It's like writing a graduation thesis. Your theoretical basis is based on the foundation laid by the predecessors. If you borrow the formulas or viewpoints of the predecessors when writing the thesis, Is it also called plagiarism?"

The student's face sank: "You are obviously misleading everyone on purpose, that's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that the content of your answer just now is copying Shannon's point of view, and you don't have your own ideas. Even if your answer is correct, it is because Shannon is very powerful and has little to do with you personally, so you don't You have to be so arrogant!"

College students in the United States prefer to be serious and dare to stick to their own opinions. Niu Xiaoqiang thinks this kind of atmosphere is very good, which can greatly stimulate the collision of ideas among students.

But all right, he didn't want to admit defeat.Hearing this, Niu Xiaoqiang scanned the entire classroom, and then asked such a question: "I wonder if any of the students here know the specific content of this paper written by Shannon?"

This question was a bit unexpected, and someone couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Isn't this nonsense? This paper was written by Shannon in 1948. Who can remember it?"

Many people agreed with this and nodded their heads in agreement. They all felt that Niu Xiaoqiang raised a very low-level question.

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly, showing a confident expression: "Sorry, I remember the content of this paper very well, and I can recite it verbatim. Would you like me to demonstrate it to you on the spot?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the classroom fell into a brief silence. It took a while for someone to speak: "So what if you remember? Does this have something to do with the issue we are discussing?"

Niu Xiaoqiang curled his lips, and said disdainfully: "Student, what you said is really stupid, don't think about it, if it has nothing to do with the issue we are discussing, why should I bring it up?"

"Then you can explain to everyone well, can you remember what Shannon's paper has to do with the problem we are discussing!"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded happily, and looked at the student wearing glasses: "If anyone here knows the specific content of this paper, they will know that the classmate who questioned me is wrong. In fact, I did not learn from Shannon. The point of view of this paper, but expanded and extended according to my personal understanding, Shannon just said 'information is something used to eliminate random uncertainty', explained from the perspective of probability, about information does not belong to any The concept of conventional matter was proposed by me personally, this classmate, you questioned my answer when you did not understand the situation, can I say that your knowledge and thinking are too superficial?"

The student wearing glasses was full of embarrassment and kept his mouth shut without saying a word.Niu Xiaoqiang's words were well-founded and well-founded, making it impossible for him to refute.

Seeing that the other party was speechless, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but chuckled, and glanced around at the others: "If anyone has any questions, you can bring them up. Let's communicate with each other."

This is a challenge to everyone in the class.

After the verbal battle just now, Niu Xiaoqiang has been aroused to be a teenager.He rarely has the opportunity to show his strong knowledge in China, and he is usually busy with business.Now that he has encountered such a good opportunity, Niu Xiaoqiang wants to give full play to his talent.

There is another reason why Niu Xiaoqiang is so arrogant: he can see that foreign students seem to have certain prejudices against Chinese people. His tone of voice showed this kind of mentality. Niu Xiaoqiang felt that his blindly low-key would only make these people look down on him even more. Superiority.

Although Niu Xiaoqiang has shown extraordinary thinking and eloquence, there are still people who do not believe in evil. As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately interjected: "What is the theoretical basis for your personal opinion? I think you are just taking some It’s too ridiculous to use mysterious rhetoric to pile up!”
