CHAPTER 103: CHAPTER 65: FOUR-ROUND DRAGONFLY CAUSES TROUBLE [REQUEST MONTHLY TICKETS]_2

However, she didn’t know, nor did anyone else.

When it comes to self-confidence, Qin Manman is never lacking. Her voice was a bit loud, and before Lu Ran could stop her, quite a few surrounding teams had already looked over.

Qin Manman then proudly thrust out her chest:

"Those who do research and aren’t confident in their academic achievements are inherently doubting their own abilities."

Her words were full of confidence, attracting the attention of the surrounding judges, whose eyes showed appreciation.

After all, they are all spirited university students; being a little proud is just youthful!

Yu Lian, as a bystander, also heard this and looked over with surprise—

She was an outsider who didn’t know how to judge the team’s professionalism, but as a girl herself, looking at another pretty girl, she naturally observed more closely...

The love for beauty!

But, she strangely found—among the drone display teams, there were actually quite a few girls, but since doing research is quite a pure task, most of them dressed quite casually.

Due to long hours of programming or assembling parts, their fingers were all a bit dry and rough.

Except for the speaking girl, whose fingers were slender as scallions...

Yu Lian couldn’t help but look again and then sighed at her own short, stubby fingers.

Meanwhile, on stage, although Qin Manman’s aura as the protagonist hadn’t fully loaded, her voice successfully attracted the attention of the bigwig—

The elder judge at the center of the panel looked at her with a kind expression and asked, "Young lady speaks with confidence—you’re a competing team too, what kind of work do you have to show us?"

Once these words were out, the surrounding gazes became even more heated.

...

Every student competing today probably knew this judge.

After all, those reconnaissance drones widely used in the army ten years ago were reportedly developed under this bigwig’s leadership.

As for deeper honors, the students knew they existed, but those were beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

Seeing Elder Lin speak, Qin Manman’s eyes grew even more joyful. It was just the right time for their group to go on stage, so she quickly led the prepared experimental equipment trolley onto the stage.

"Judges and fellow students, we are the Drone Team from White Bird Academy, and today’s drone theme is—"

[Drone Obstacle Penetration and Rescue Positioning].

It’s a good topic, and a very important breakthrough.

After all, there are too many limitations to the current domestic thermal imaging technology, and many harsh environments particularly require drone operations.

The judges were slightly interested.

The reason for "slightly"... is purely because university students generally have abilities that are still maturing. Today’s competition results may be impressive, but... often only "impressive".

In the four-person team, Qin Manman was the only girl, and young and pretty, so it was only natural that she spoke during the drone activation:

"Our drone has undergone technical improvements, so its thermal imaging penetration efficiency is very high, capable of penetrating obstacles at a straight line distance of 3 meters from high altitudes..."

Accompanied by a circle of tense expressions and bright eyes from the contestants, and seeing the judges on stage nodding with smiles...

Yu Lian looked left and right, then at the metal dragonfly in her bag, with foldable blades that were shaped like a "stick," and couldn’t help but want to scratch her foot.

Just... so boring.

Only a 3-meter penetration distance, with so much fuss, such a long buildup, and still so proud...

Moreover, regardless of flying, endurance, or the stability just demonstrated... all are rubbish.

That feeling was like holding the latest smartphone while the other party was boasting about a brick phone...

Yu Lian didn’t understand these professional terms, but she knew that this tech competition was really not worth watching.

What a waste of time!

She thought irritably—knowing such a level beforehand, she might as well have taken up some gigs to earn money!

And they claim it’s a university technology competition, introducing it as White Bird Academy...

Really?

That’s it?

At this moment, the drone on stage circled twice under control and was about to land steadily.

Qin Manman was still proudly explaining: "On the premise of extreme exploration, our drone has achieved an endurance of a full 36 minutes!"

What?

Just 36 minutes?

Yu Lian was dumbfounded—thinking there would be some substance and a trump card, but didn’t anticipate... didn’t anticipate it would open grandly and end already!

Isn’t this deceptive nonsense?

Under the awe-struck and competitive silence of the viewing university students, Qin Manman also pursed her lips, expectantly looking at the judges.
