Chapter 378 Everyone Is Looking for Trouble

"It makes sense to make the nut into a hexagonal shape. There is not enough space for installing the nut on some machines, and the wrench for tightening the nut has limited movable space. Hexagonal nuts can be tightened 60 degrees at a time. If To form a quadrilateral, you have to twist it 90 degrees at a time, and the space is not enough.”

"The midpoint of the straight edge of the outer ring of the nut is the weakest point of the nut, so it must be made thicker. If it is made into a quadrilateral, material will be wasted on the edge, but it will save material when made into a hexagon."

"Of course it can be made into an octagon, but each side of the octagon is too short and the wrench will slip easily. If it slips a few times, it will become a round shape and cannot be twisted."

"The angle of the quadrilateral is too sharp and can easily hurt people... Is this a reason?"

"Actually, there are also square nuts, which are useful in some cabinets, but they are not mainstream."

"Let's just put it this way. The mainstream nuts around the world are all hexagonal. This is the result of following the laws of physics. Is there any innovation involved?"

"The one who designed the heptagonal nut is anti-human, isn't it? It's troublesome to process, and a special wrench must be used. Ordinary wrenches can't clamp it at all."

"Obviously, American college students are not grounded and do not understand production. How can they be praised as having innovative spirit?"

"If I fill a toilet with food for the professor, is that considered an innovation?"

"Forget it, the professor likes to eat things that smell like shit."

"If you don't support the wall, I will obey you..."

The "Let's Find the Difference" campaign initiated by the Identification Network quickly became popular throughout the Internet through clever hype by Deep Blue Focus. Of course, the 100,000 yuan event sponsorship provided by New Jingwei Company is also an important reason why the majority of netizens are keen on this.

According to the requirements of the activity, everyone can question the article "The Battle of Winter Training Camp" discovered by Professor Chimden, especially the issue of the heptagonal nut designed by American college students, and give persuasive comments. . The first netizen to provide a certain angle will receive an online shopping card worth 500 yuan, which can be used to purchase the products of his choice on "Tangyi.com".

After the event, the identification network will also organize mechanical experts and professors to evaluate the answers of netizens. The best answer can receive an additional bonus of 1,000 yuan. Of course, it will still be issued in the form of a Tangyi.com shopping card.

It should be noted here that Tangyi.com, as a popular e-commerce website in China, is the first to establish a strategic cooperative relationship with the identification network.

Qimudeng's article was once very popular on the Internet. It was reposted in various forums, and its content was even used in college entrance examination simulation papers published by several provinces. The questions asked by the question makers are all about innovation spirit, cultural defects, etc. If you don’t write down some reflections when answering the questions, you won’t get high scores.

Most people who read the article will not be as critical as Tang Zifeng. Some college students with engineering backgrounds, or factory workers, technicians, etc., although they feel that Qi Muden’s sentiments are out of tune, they are too lazy to refute, because the Internet is full of Qi Muden. If you question the professor's brainless fans, you will inevitably be criticized as rigid, conservative, and "national defense maggots." No serious person would be willing to provoke such trouble.

When the Identifiable Network singled out this matter and offered a reward for the solution, the silent majority no longer remained silent. Whether your point of view is correct or not, we don’t care. You took a heptagonal nut and said it was an innovation, and said that the Chinese would not have thought of it. This is an insult to everyone’s IQ.

Why couldn't I think of making a heptagonal nut? I designed it when I was three years old. I have grown up now, so I know that this so-called innovation is actually anti-intellectual. That is, some liberal arts professors who are industrious and indifferent will regard this as some kind of miracle.

Following the Nut controversy, Identification.com published dozens of other heavyweight rumor-refuting articles, which basically took out articles that had been popular on the Internet and denounced them. These articles are well-founded, and all facts and data have exact sources and can be searched in the literature, which enhances the persuasiveness of these articles.

Since these articles about whipping corpses are correct, or at least reasonable, then the articles about being whipped into corpses are obviously untenable. Some netizens followed the instructions of the article on corpse whipping and went to check the information themselves, and they found that those articles were full of quotes out of context and even random fabrications.

When it comes to writing articles, the biggest fear is having your flaws discovered. Once one data is wrong, everyone will doubt the rigor of your research and then doubt whether other data are wrong. If your articles are found to have errors one after another, people will question the points you make.

If your point of view is correct, why do you have to use made-up facts and data to support it? Could it be that your point of view is also problematic and cannot be verified in reality?

Qimudeng's reputation has rapidly depreciated on the Internet. Many netizens who used to respectfully call him professor now also call him "Qi Ming Beast". Of course, he has been operating online for several years and has gained a large number of idiot fans. There are many netizens who cover their swollen faces and still defend him in every forum.

"Xiao Tang, you did a good job!"

In his living room, Xu Zhaojian received Zhou Heng and Tang Zifeng who came to report on their work. He asked them to sit down and hold hands. Xu Zhaojian praised Tang Zifeng with a smile.

"What is Mr. Xu referring to?" Tang Zifeng looked confused.

"Oh? So you have done so many good things that you don't even know which one I am praising you for?" Xu Zhaojian said jokingly.

Tang Zifeng scratched his scalp pretendingly and said: "No, it's because I really can't remember anything good I've done. I think everything I've done recently is wrong. Director Zhou has criticized me many times. .”

Xu Zhaojian said: "Haha, the news I got is the opposite. Every time Director Zhou comes to my place, he always praises you for your ability to do things."

"This kid can't praise. He will raise his tail when he praises, and then he may cause trouble." Zhou Heng said with a dark face, but there was clearly a hint of smile in the corners of his eyes.

"It's a very good job to set up a website to refute the current remarks that worship foreigners." Xu Zhaojian did not continue joking, but went directly to the topic, "After Xiao Zhou reported this matter to me, I specially asked The secretary went to find out more about it, and then formed a report and submitted it to the leader.

“The leadership has instructed that we must unswervingly carry out reform and opening up and be open-minded to learn all advanced foreign technologies and experiences. But at the same time, we must also firmly establish national self-confidence, believe in the advantages of our system, and believe in our people. , Our cadres and employees are all capable and aware, and we are no worse than foreigners."

Tang Zifeng also suppressed his smile and reported seriously: "Wang Zijie and I thought the same way, so we discussed setting up such a website. Because I am busy with work, coupled with low education and insufficient theoretical knowledge, I also It cannot play a big role. Wang Zijie is responsible for the daily management of the website and the writing of some important articles. Deep Blue Focus helped him organize a team to be responsible for network maintenance, collecting information and answering questions from netizens."

"This method is good." Xu Zhaojian said, "Some words are inappropriate if spoken directly by the propaganda department. It may easily make people feel that they are suppressing speech, and may easily offend the masses. Your purely folk method is fine. , the reason is unclear, I believe that the majority of netizens can distinguish right from wrong."

"We can already see the effects now." Tang Zifeng said, "In just two months, our number of registered users has exceeded 200,000. Those netizens who have not registered but also often follow our website will be in this number." More than 10 times the number. Many forums that used to have one-sided views now have netizens spontaneously refuting those untrue remarks, and many debates have become heated."

"Didn't the managers of these forums intervene?" Xu Zhaojian asked.

Tang Zifeng smiled and said: "They won't interfere. Once there is a quarrel, the website traffic will increase. The managers of these forums are eager to have such an effect."

Xu Zhaojian said: "It seems that there was a message in the newspaper last week, saying that on an online forum, netizens had a dispute over the issue of supporting Qi Muden and opposing Qi Muden, and it later developed into a fight in the park."

Tang Zifenghan said: "This is actually a hype on that forum. After the two parties took photos of the fight scene, they went to eat spicy hotpot together."

"Is there such a thing?" Xu Zhaojian was stunned. The routines on the Internet are really quite deep. An old man like him really can't keep up.

Tang Zifeng nodded to confirm, and then said: "Actually, promoting netizens is only one aspect. At present, netizens are still mainly young people, many of whom are school students. Now we are educating them about national self-confidence, focusing on It's something in the long term.

"We have noticed that many grassroots business leaders, as well as cadres in some government agencies, also have a more or less admiring mentality and lack confidence in China's system and Chinese products. These people are all 40 years old As mentioned above, they don’t have much contact with the Internet at ordinary times, so publicity activities like the one carried out by the identification network have a very limited impact on them.

"These people directly influence policy formulation and corporate business decisions in all walks of life. If we cannot correct the misconceptions in their minds, our development will still be greatly affected."

"That's true, but do you have any definite evidence?" Xu Zhaojian asked.

"Yes." Tang Zifeng said, "A few days ago, I asked the group information department to conduct a survey, collected promotional materials of more than 500 key domestic enterprises, made a statistics on the content related to equipment, and found some A question worth pondering. This is our research report, please take a look at it."

Having said this, he took out a thick stack of information from his bag and handed it to Xu Zhaojian's hand.
