September 1st.
It was the first day of school.
Xing Hai Technologies announced the "All Questions Answered" program and launched the "Knowledge Videos" platform. They issued an invitation to all members of society to collect answers with prizes.
"From today onwards, after the Little Star First Gen and Little Star Second Gen learning machines are updated, the 'Human Question and Answer Service' function will be fully available.
We encourage the children to ask the questions that they want to ask the most. For the first three months, all questions will be free of charge. There is no limit to the number of times. The children who ask the most useful questions will be rewarded by us.
We encourage the vast number of intellectual elites to answer the children's questions and provide relevant answer materials. If the knowledge videos that you submit are approved after the review, students can subscribe once (it will be free of charge forever after the subscription). You will receive a profit of 0.1 dollars. During the first three months of the activity, Xing Hai Technologies will reward you with an additional 0.1 dollars. That is to say, if your knowledge videos are watched by 100,000 students, you will receive a profit of 20,000 dollars during the activity period.
Our big data system has been opened. The ranking of the frequency of questions asked by the students can be checked at any time. Answer materials can be downloaded at any time.
What are you waiting for? Children, start asking your questions! Intelligent respondents, start making your knowledge videos! "
Xing Hai Technologies announced the news.
It immediately caused a considerable response.
The parents' eyes lit up. Great, this function was great. They would no longer have to fear that no one would answer their children's questions.
"Can we ask anything?"
The children who had the Little Star learning machine nodded with eyes full of curiosity. Since that was the case, they would start asking questions.
They opened the "All Questions Answered" app and asked their questions. Then, they clicked on the submit button and uploaded their questions.
In a short while, Xing Hai Technologies' database had collected hundreds of thousands of questions. But because some of the questions had the same meaning, after the system's AI combined the questions, there were only 10,000 actual questions. They were displayed on the ranking based on the frequency of the questions.
…
Di Capital.
Li Yongle was a mathematics teacher and a physics teacher at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University. He taught two subjects at the same time and was awarded the "Double Excellence Teacher" by the school.
He studied at the University of Di Capital and obtained a double bachelor's degree. He was also admitted as a postgraduate student at Jing Hua University. He was a proper top student.
After becoming a high school teacher, his teaching style was humorous and thought-provoking. He was talented and was extremely popular with the students.
In addition, he was also an "internet celebrity." A series of short popular science videos produced by him, which were jointly produced by Watermelon Video and Popularizing Science Country, had become popular all over the Internet. Central Television News and People's Daily had forwarded and liked the videos, saying that they had pioneered the use of short videos to disseminate knowledge.
On Watermelon Video, Li Yongle gained 1.1 million fans, and his science video was viewed a total of 45.71 million times.
He also had more than 200,000 followers on Bilibili. More than 300 science videos uploaded to Bilibili had a total of more than 30 million views.
The production cost of these popular science videos was not high. All he needed was a blackboard, a piece of chalk, and a few PowerPoint slides. Coupled with his talent, sometimes he could make several videos in a day. The output was terrifying.
This also brought him a generous income. With the tips from Watermelon fans and the original content incentive program on Bilibili, it was not a problem for him to earn millions a year.
However, what he valued the most was not money, but the enjoyment of the process of sharing knowledge. The students learned knowledge, and the scientific literacy of the masses of netizens improved. This process made him feel very fulfilled. The growth of others was also his growth.
In recent days, Xing Hai Technologies' "All Questions and Answers" activity had attracted his attention.
Or rather, it had attracted great attention from the majority of knowledge short video hosts, including him. As disseminators of knowledge with a higher average IQ, they all had a keen sense of smell and long-term insight.
In private, they had a heated discussion.
"Why don't we go to Xing Hai Technologies' 'Knowledge Short Videos' to develop?"
"Xing Hai Technologies can pay for every click (subscription) for knowledge that other platforms can't do."
"It's getting harder and harder to make knowledge short videos in the past few years. The competition is too fierce. You can only earn seven or eight thousand dollars after working so hard to make videos that have millions of views. Sometimes, I really feel like I can't hold on any longer. Many of my close friends have changed careers."
"The Little Star learning machine is definitely a new direction for us!"
"Yes, the Little Star learning machine is very powerful. Every student will buy one in the future. There's a huge market of 200 million people. Even if everyone subscribes once and earns 10 cents per subscription, that's 20 million dollars!"
"You're dreaming. Xing Hai Technologies' Little Star First Gen and Little Star Second Gen only have a total of 10 million units shipped. This market is still in its infancy."
"All the more reason to go in! Go in and play. The high-frequency questions have all been answered. You can only eat the leftovers. "
"Uh, I'm not going to chat anymore. I have something to do."
"Aiya, I'm going to cook. You guys chat first."
The group members said that they had something to do and went offline. In reality, they had all started making knowledge short videos.
Li Yongle also went offline. He opened his browser and went to Xing Hai Technologies' official website. After he found the link to the big data query system, he clicked on it.
He checked the big data system to see which questions had been collected from the students.
There was a slight lag in the page loading process.
A data table was presented in front of him.
Li Yongle glanced at it from top to bottom. He was instantly amused. His originally serious expression could no longer hold back his laughter.
Interesting, it was really too interesting!
The high-frequency questions at the top were as follows:
Why do I study? (392480 times)
Why do I have to do so much homework? (275043 times)
Why don't my parents let me play games? (264510 times)
Why do my parents always care about me? (257621 times)
Why is studying so tiring? (231019 times)
What if I don't want to go to school? (207530 times)
What if I like the girls in my class? (172166 times)
…
After the top ten questions were made public, the parents were in an uproar. They questioned what was going on in their children's heads. Why would they ask such strange questions?
The majority of students expressed that these questions were what they wanted to ask the most. They expressed their inner thoughts very well.
The netizens on the internet laughed heartily and named the top ten questions as "Ten Questions of the Naughty Kids." They hoped that someone would be able to answer the doubts in the hearts of the naughty kids.
After Li Yongle laughed, some enlightenment arose in her heart.
Especially when he saw the first question, "Why do I study?", his eyes lingered on it for a long time.
He murmured, "In the past few years, I have made hundreds of popular science videos and spread a lot of popular science knowledge. But these can only be regarded as knowledge. Very advanced knowledge. Only a small number of people can digest and absorb it.
"I never know what the real doubts in the hearts of the students are. I just spread it according to my own preferences, but I haven't even solved the most basic confusion of the children.
"Why do we study? This question is very simple, but it's not easy to answer it well. It's impossible for the students to fully understand the true meaning of learning in a five-minute video. Especially when they haven't participated in the work, haven't actually applied the knowledge, and haven't realized the value of knowledge. It's very difficult to answer this question and let the students understand the importance of knowledge.
"Even so!
"I will also try my best to answer this question with everything that I have learned in my life!"
