rebirth of evil

September [-] didn't rain much, but it happened to be pouring rain on this day.In the coastal cities in the southeast region, summer has long turned to autumn, and the leaves of magnolias have turned golden yellow, and they fell all over the ground as soon as they were hit by the rain, lying there wilted.On the sidewalk, many people ran wildly in the rain, yelling in the regional dialect in their grumpy mouths: "Damn your lungs, what's the weather, it suddenly rained."

Zhao Yubin is also one of them.After cursing a few words, he took off his wet clothes and logged in to his HM account.

He is one of the administrators of the "Freedom" channel. Originally, the group of them was active in the early and lively amateur computer forums, and they often gathered together to play computer assembly and write some small software. Later, HM appeared, and their main The position was transferred to the exclusive channel and HM group of the Freedom Forum.

Today Zhao Yubin went to help the teacher repair the computer, the broken machine has long been behind the times, and after the release of Windows 98, it is still running the DOS system foolishly, Zhao Yubin feels annoyed when he sees it.Teachers themselves are not interested in computers, how can they teach students?Zhao Yubin regretted going to a third-rate university more and more, and his enthusiasm for computers was worn away by life and death.God seems to want to take advantage of Zhao Yubin's bad mood to make trouble, and the rain pours down like money.Zhao Yubin spat secretly, thinking he was unlucky, took off his wet pants and changed them.

At this time, his HM has already started running.Zhao Yubin sat down quickly. In fact, he came back despite the heavy rain just to catch up with the activities here.

It was the first time that the Freedom Channel was promoted by HM officials with announcements and login boxes. The specific reason is that the main creators of them are still in the fog and have not figured out the situation.But it is certain that we must grasp this activity well, otherwise they will have no face to call themselves computer enthusiasts in the future.

Zhao Yubin quickly put on the earphones: "The field controller Dabin is in place."

"The host big monkey is in place."

"The Field Control Seventh is in place."

"Xue Xue, the front projectionist, is in place."

"The anti-projectionist Quail is in place."

Listening to the voices from all over the country clearly sounding in the "preparation room", Zhao Yubin felt that this feeling was very wonderful, and he couldn't help being grateful for this debate competition that brought together all his colleagues.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, the monkey officially introduced the protagonist of this debate. It is said that the real initiator is Mo Fan, from Linyang, who is only 14 years old. At the age of 15, both of them came to the top because of Jiang An and Qian Weihe's temporary illness.

Zhao Yubin has also held a debate competition himself, so he can't help but feel a little worried for them. It's not easy to change the debate temporarily!But when the big monkey said the names of Zhuo Minghui and Ling Chen, Zhao Yubin immediately jumped up from the chair.

Others have never heard of these two names, but he knows them very well.

I remember that when he ran to participate in the youth software design competition with full of enthusiasm, there were two young contestants in front of him who belittled each other and made each other worthless-how did it end?As a result, they tied for the championship that year!

It's no wonder they dared to change hands temporarily, because they all hired experts to sit in charge.

Zhao Yubin imagined that Zhuo Minghui and Ling Chen were arguing at the debate table, and had a lot of fun. I haven't seen each other for so many years, and I don't know how far those two little devils have grown?

The monkey is still introducing: "Because Zhuo Minghui and Ling Chen are the students selected by Professor Zhao Bing and Xu Kunran respectively from Capital University, many people speculate that this debate was actually instructed by Xu and Zhao. The old man did not refute the rumors of this kind of boat, but instead informed a university that he would attend as a notary at that time—for this reason, the school decided to postpone the welcome ceremony for an hour and hold the debate first. So the significance of this event may be It is bigger than we expected before, and we hope that our internal members of the Liberty can fight for more opportunities when we ask questions online."

Zhao Yubin stared blankly in front of the computer.

Sometimes people's psychology is very mysterious. Once you touch something that you have forgotten long ago, it will emerge like a tide until you are submerged.

Zhao Yubin is now full of thoughts that although he didn't get any rankings in the capital, he still said to Zhuo Minghui and Ling Chen with pride: "Next year you can go to the Capital University to find me! You ask Where can I find it? Do you still need to ask? Brother, I am either Xu Kunran’s student or Zhao Bing’s student, so it’s easy to find.”

As a result, a few years later, he nestled in this musty one-room rented room, studying in a third-rate university where the number of majors is not enough, and the professional teachers do not understand the majors.

Zhao Yubin thought that he would never have the so-called "dream" again, but when he heard that the two little ghosts who had met for a while went to the highest school he had dreamed of and became students of the mentor he once admired, his heart was full of tears. Regret suddenly flooded up.

If I continue to mix like this, I will probably only be an "amateur computer enthusiast" forever.Zhao Yubin had a private chat with Dahou, who was in charge of organizing the staff, and said straight to the point: "Dahou, I want to withdraw from this event."

The big monkey was a little surprised: "Why?"

Zhao Yubin and Big Monkey knew each other in real life, and their past was not a secret, so Zhao Yubin told the truth directly: "I'm going to the capital."

That's right, go to the capital.

Although the chances are slim, Zhao Yubin knows that if he doesn't try, the regret in his heart will swallow him up sooner or later.

The big monkey was silent for a while, then said, "Come on."

Zhao Yubin was heading north that day, and he was going to the Capital No. [-] High School to directly watch the debate match that attracted widespread attention.He barely closed his eyes when he got on the train, and kept thinking about various program statements and algorithms in his mind, and kept writing some programs he had imagined on the paper with his hands.

He wants to prepare some things that he can take out, and use them to tell his former friends that he has not given up all these years.

Approaching the capital station, Zhao Yubin went to the rear of the carriage to wash his face and clean his hair with water.

The clothes on his body carried the weird smell that he had suffocated along the way, and he had no other luggage except the backpack full of notes. He looked as down and out as all the foreigners living in Beijing.

Zhao Yubin was afraid of missing the debate, so he didn't have time to find a hotel to wash up, so he went straight to Capital No. [-] High School.

When I arrived at the school gate, I encountered a problem. Normally, it would be easy to sneak in, but today there are many important people to be present, and a high school has very strict gate control.Zhao Yubin was about to regain the ability to climb over the wall, but he heard someone behind him greet him: "Zhao Yubin?"

Zhao Yubin turned his head, and immediately saw a vaguely familiar boy, but he was taller, almost surpassing him, a man in his twenties.Zhao Yubin chuckled: "Boy of the Ling family, you just entered the arena now?"

When Zhao Yubin was still in the Zhao family, he was not afraid of anything, and the little ghosts of the two family friends were also boys. It is a pity that he left the Zhao family and lost everything he could rely on...

Ling Chen didn't seem to notice his reluctance, and said with a smile: "The southern sun is poisonous, you are so tanned! You are here to support our debate competition this time, right? Let's go, I will find you a good seat. "

If it was the former Zhao Yubin, he would definitely refuse, but now he has lost his temper due to life, and silently followed Ling Chen into the Capital High School.

The two walked back and forth for a while, and the pedestrians around became thinner. Ling Chen turned his head and said, "If you were willing to compromise like this before, how could you be forced to such a point?"

Zhao Yubin didn't avoid his gaze, and said, "Even if a compromise is necessary, it depends on who it is to. In front of you and Zhuo Minghui, it doesn't matter how I admit it."

Ling Chen was silent for a moment, and said: "Let me introduce you to someone. As long as you show your true level, he will be happy to help you settle the troubles of the Zhao family."

Zhao Yubin asked in surprise, "Who?"

Ling Chen said, "Young Master Huo."

Zhao Yubin was silent.Maybe people in other places have never heard of this name, but the reputation of "Huo Shao" in the southeast and central south regions is very loud, at least Zhao Yubin has heard of it many times. No one can tell clearly what "Huo Shao" has done specifically, but the facts show that those who listen to him seem to have a better life than others, while those who oppose him seem to have a more miserable life than others.Because of this, people who need to rely on him call him "Young Master Huo", and those who have suffered from him call him "Young Master Huo"-although no one has any evidence to prove who he has supported or targeted.

After being quiet for a while, Zhao Yubin said, "You don't need to be attached to anyone, do you?"

Ling Chen was not surprised that he would have such doubts: "People always have something they want more than 'needs'. If you just want to dawdle casually, you won't come to the capital."

People always have more wants than 'needs'.

Yes, such as realizing "dreams", such as obtaining "love".If you decide to accept your fate, you will live a mediocre life from now on, and you will not feel any regrets in living, after all, those things are not what everyone needs.But once you have a longing for something in your heart and you can't let it go, you will fall into a demon.

Even if you don't necessarily "need", you will try your best to get it.

Zhao Yubin stopped, Ling Chen also stopped, turned his head and waited for Zhao Yubin's final answer.

Zhao Yubin showed a bitter smile: "I want to watch your debate first." No matter how downcast he is, it is not acceptable for him to bow his head to a guy who is many years younger than him.

Ling Chen didn't force it, and he wasn't a pimp. Zhao Yubin didn't want him, and he wouldn't force him to see Huo Jin.After thinking for a while, Ling Chen said again: "If you don't want to find Huo Shao, it's the same to find Mo Fan. He is the affirmative argument today, you can listen carefully."

Zhao Yubin nodded, and sat in the seat that Ling Chen specially arranged for him, waiting for the debate to start.

About 15 minutes later, both the pros and cons appeared in the debate seats wearing their own team uniforms. Mo Fan, who was in the pro-debate seat, looked a little smaller than the others, but looked calm; Liu Hai and the guy with the black-rimmed glasses, whose name tag reads Zhang Zhongchun; the second debate is Ling Chen and Zhuo Minghui, and the third debate is Qian Weihe and Jiang An.

Looking at their immature faces, Zhao Yubin was a little confused, he couldn't remember what he looked like at that time.

He must have been so high-spirited before, right?Zhao Yubin couldn't help but look away.

Compared to the quietness on the stage, the audience was very lively. Except for the students from all grades of the first high school, the press seats and guest seats were all full.

Needless to say, Zhuo Minghui and Ling Chen, Qian Weihe and Jiang An were also preparing to take the computer major, so they recognized most of the guests at the guest table.They feel it more strongly than others who know little about it.

Of course, the liveliness at this time was not limited to the scene.The situation here was also broadcast live on the HM channel. A sharp-eyed person recognized Xu Kunran and Zhao Bing, and the Internet was boiling all of a sudden. The number of people online on Jiang An's channel doubled. double the increase.

Fortunately, HM officials have long been prepared, and the channel is still running very stably.

The "remote host" Monkey had already known who would be coming, so he was not intimidated by the people present: "My host and several field controllers are amateur computer enthusiasts from the Freedom Forum. The professor and the old professor Zhao are also very excited! But our protagonists today are our six debaters on the pro side and the opposing side..."

The voice from the southeast reverberated throughout the auditorium through the long network, clear and powerful, and once again demonstrated the powerful voice function of HM.

Of course, the opening of the host and the performance of the HM software were quickly skipped by everyone, because their attention was completely attracted by the argument of the affirmative.

What is the information age?Mo Fan's speech speed is a bit fast due to the time limit, but the background screen played by Zhengfang Screening is closely following his voice. It proved how highly feasible his words were.

Online trading, online creation, online management... distance teaching, distance seminars, distance mutual assistance... are all conveniences brought by the information age!

Zhang Zhongchun, who was the first opponent, seemed to be shocked by what Mo Fan showed, and only came back to his senses after the second reminder from the host Monkey.Fortunately, Zhang Zhongchun has a strong observation ability, and he opened his mouth to point out the most direct and sharpest question - how to deal with the endless Internet scams?How to deal with the impact of the Internet industry on traditional industries?How to deal with the social problems that may be brought about by online audio and video and online public opinion?Grasping the main points, Zhang Zhongchun talked eloquently without stage fright.

The materials displayed on the big screen also followed his words.

By the time the two sides had finished their arguments, the entire Liberty channel had exploded.The huge amount of information was passed on word of mouth among friends, which triggered a new discussion.

After a brief pause, the debate entered the attack and defense stage.

At this point, it doesn't really matter who wins the debate. What everyone thinks in their hearts is how to turn the affirmative's vision into reality while solving the problems raised by the opposing side.

Later, there will be several sessions of free speeches, audience questions, and online questions.Zhao Yubin couldn't listen to it anymore, he was still replaying the ideas of the two parties' theories in his mind, and using his own way to structure them into a complete program - soon, Zhao Yubin found that almost all of them could be turned into reality.

Zhao Yubin walked out of the auditorium and looked into the distance quietly.The autumn wind in September is still not cool enough, and there are a few wandering clouds floating in the high sky, which looks empty and beautiful.

The debate just now reminded him of the "academic debate" in Zeitgeist.At that time, various reform ideas were blooming in Zeitgeist Trends, and the pros and cons were discussed round after round. At the end of the discussion, there were always implementers who dared to apply it in practice.

Zeitgeist was later called "the hotbed of reform".

How similar the two things look when put together!After today's "debate", it is not certain that HM's debate field model will become a "hotbed of the information age".

If you can follow such a person, why not be convinced?
