Ding Xing also stood aggressively beside his aunt. However, he was still young, so his aura was a little inferior. He looked more like a fierce child.
Sheng Yang closed her eyes, went straight past them, and looked at the other people from the research institute. “Where’s the machine?”
“… Oh! The machine is here. Come with me.” The people from the research institute came to a realization and led Sheng Yang to the other side.
This new teacher from the academy had such a personality. She could actually completely ignore their team leader.
Ding Lan’s back was to Sheng Yang. She gritted her teeth, but the moment she turned around, her smile returned. It was a murderous smile.
Ding Xing was terrified by his aunt’s change in attitude.
Soon, the people from the academy arrived. Their faces were pale.
The people from the research institute found it strange. They had yet to compete, but why did they look so shocked?
All of them stared at Sheng Yang with complicated expressions. Only Tong Xieyi was taking things out of her bag with a distant look in her eyes. She was preparing for the competition.
Everyone understood. She was the eldest daughter of the Tong family and had seen the world. She also had a maglev car.
The judge today was a neutral person. They had hired a high-level leader in the political field in Lanca to be in charge of cultural education. However, before his transfer, he had worked at the research institute for a period of time, so he was not biased toward anyone. Everyone called him Mr. Yu.
“The first event is the water carrying competition as usual.”
This was also in last year’s competition. It tested the stability of the robots.
A full cup of water in a plastic cup would be accurately weighed before the competition. 100ml of water was about 100g, but when weighed, the unit would be reduced to milligrams or even micrograms.
The robot would carry the water in the plastic cup for a somewhat long journey. They would weigh the cup again after that and calculate the difference in amount.
The team whose robot lost the least amount of water was the winner.
The stability of robots played an extremely important role in medical and other fields.
“The winner of this year’s competition will be Team Leader Ding again, right?” A few of them surrounded Ding Lan like stars surrounding the moon.
Last year, Ding Lan got first place in this category. Even the most promising Tong Xieyi from the academy could not surpass her. She was 0.1 milligrams behind.
Ding Lan was a master of machinery, but she also had sub-categories that she was best at. Firstly, it was the stability of machinery. Secondly, the rapid transformation of machinery. She had previously broken a record at the institute. It only took four minutes and 32 seconds for her to modify a robot.
Ding Lan cupped her hands and glanced at Sheng Yang, but she said humbly, “That’s too kind of you.”
There would be two contestants facing off each other in each round. The competition would adopt an elimination process where the 32 contestants would dwindle down to 16, then eight…
Although friendship came first and competitions came second, everyone had secretly trained a lot for this competition. They said that they had started preparing half a year ago, but that was not the case. Of course, Sheng Yang was the only exception.
When the groupings were decided by drawing lots, the faces of the people from Lanca Academy turned ashen!
They would definitely lose! Their seed player, Tong Xieyi, was going to face Ding Lan in the first round. Ding Lan had restrained herself a little previously, but now, the corners of her mouth were curled up. She made a throat-slitting gesture at Tong Xieyi.
Tong Xie’s lips were pursed tightly. The loss of last year was still pressing down on her shoulders.
