Super God-Level Top Student
Chapter 241 Dou Dou is Really Funny (New Year's Special Over 8000 Words Update, Seeking Monthly Votes)
What do they call it when you are sitting at home and a pot comes flying in from the sky?
This is just it!
The poor social media editors of Huaqing and Yanbei could never have imagined that on a peaceful evening in April 2024, their universities would suddenly trend online, with discussion rates exploding off the charts.
The most outrageous part was that the topic was a nationwide debate over who was the true leading university in Huaxia.
It sounded just like what Dou Dou once said on Donghu.
The moment this question became a national debate, both super-universities had already lost, and man, had they lost terribly!
Students from Huaqing and Yanbei loved to mock each other, even coming up with endless jokes.
Yanbei students said, "Once a student from Yanbei went to Tsinghua, and as a result, the average IQ of both schools increased."
Huaqing students replied, "Yanbei always says it's the closest school to a world-class university in Huaxia. I measured it myself, and hey, it's true—it's just a street away."
Yanbei said, "Once you enter Huaqing, you've ruined your life."
Huaqing said, "Apply for Yanbei, forfeit your future."
Even when Yanbei's basketball team defeated Huaqing and took first place, they posted in their friends' circles to console, "Bro, don't cry. The game is about friendship, you're first, Huaqing second."
But anyone who truly believes this banter is purely naive.
These universities aren't really at each other's throats; rather, they're flaunting their superiority to students from other universities.
There are many universities next to Yanbei and Huaqing, like Minzu University, Spaceflight, Jingcheng Science, Jingcheng Sports, Jingcheng Normal...
Have these two ever mocked any of those universities?
After all, the status of these two as the top two universities in the Huaxia academic circle has never truly been shaken by any other institution. When striving for the top spot, it's always the other who is seen as the only real competition.
Like on Weibo, if admission officers from Huaqing or Yanbei start arguing, it's definitely with each other. The rest can only stand by and watch the excitement. Only the finest students in the country get to attend Huaqing or Peking University, isn't that universally acknowledged?
Though they may seem to enjoy maligning each other, what high school student in Huaxia wouldn't be proud to be accepted into Huaqing or Yanbei?
Nobody expected that before bed tonight, the online sentiment would completely shift...
From two super-universities to one super and two strong?
It would have been understandable with any other Huaxia university; they could have simply ignored it and that would have been the end. But why Xilin University of Technology? Why, of all people, Dou Dou?
It's just plain outrageous.
The average person might not have a clear understanding of Qiao Ze's capabilities, but for Huaqing and Yanbei, who are the most well-informed about all kinds of cutting-edge scientific developments, the feeling toward Qiao Ze is one of near reverence.
Only those who have engaged in serious research, and who focus on research, truly understand the difficulty of Qiao's accomplishments and what they represent.
Though Dou Dou's uploaded video was only a few dozen seconds long, anyone knowledgeable could tell just how advanced Dou Dou's body was from those movements.
To speak could be a large language model, but to simultaneously control six robotic arms, each capable of dextrous and precise movements, requires not only testing hardware and joint servo motors but a challenge for various algorithms, too.
Motion algorithms, multi-arm coordination, robot vision...
As for the large language model, it's actually secondary.
The Qunzhi Framework has already proven Xilin University of Technology School of Mathematics' capability in designing large language intelligence models.
So standing up to refute Dou Dou's statement is indeed somewhat lacking in conviction.
At least for now, even if Yanbei and Huaqing joined forces, combining the top natural and engineering sciences in Huaxia, they couldn't produce a robot as sentient and flexible as Dou Dou.
And if you add Qiao Ze's recent achievements, material models and Quantum Containment Theory...
It can only be said that this time, they might truly have been outdone.
And, to make matters worse, Dou Dou has 1.5 billion followers, most of whom enjoy stirring the pot. They've spread Dou Dou's entertaining remarks all over the internet.
Even various short-video platforms have been invaded, with swarms of netizens @-ing the official accounts of both universities in all kinds of ways.
Even internet influencers associated with those two universities.
Weibo, Dongyin, Suishou, Donghu...
The funniest part was that it even hit the top of the Qiandu trending searches...
Up to this point, it would all still be manageable.
Dou Dou is just a robot after all. Humans shouldn't lower themselves to argue with a machine, and a few platitudes would have sufficed to move on.
But a bunch of friendly universities just wouldn't let it go!
Before the staff responsible for Huaqing and Yanbei's social media could even figure out how to deal with this wave of public opinion and ensure a peaceful recruitment season, other universities' official accounts started to join the fray.
Besides reiterating the tremendous influence Dou Dou's fans have, it also illustrates that those who love drama are everywhere.
"Sorry, Huaqing bro, Yanbei bro, this time I have to side with Xilin University of Technology, no doubt about it—who isn't a fan of Dou Dou today? @Dou Dou, when you come to Jiangcheng for a talk, Jiangcheng University will welcome you and your fans to visit, and Jiang University would be happy to be your second home. Don't forget to come back and visit often!"
Once Jiangcheng University started, others began to stir things up.
"What's this about one super and two strong? @Dou Dou, that's way too conservative. I, from the University of Southern California, officially support Xilin University of Technology as the leading university. From now on, it's one school above all, with the rest mere dust! @Huaqing @Yanbei, if you disagree, care to show your colors?"
