CHAPTER 104: CHAPTER 65: FOUR-ROUND DRAGONFLY CAUSES TROUBLE [REQUEST MONTHLY TICKETS]_3

Especially Elder Lin in the center.

After all, it’s said that Mr. Chang Geng, the head of Tianfeng Research Institute, was once Elder Lin’s student...

She was lost in thought when suddenly, in the audience, a girl turned away without hesitation and made a remark—

"What garbage!"

Although the voice wasn’t loud, everyone was silent, waiting for the judges’ comments, so Qin Manman heard it immediately.

Yu Lian didn’t expect it either; she was lost in thought and blurted it out, feeling regret now—

No matter how bad it is, it was something everyone worked hard on. How could she say that out loud?

She herself couldn’t even draw a circuit diagram now.

So she turned back and straightforwardly apologized, "Sorry, it’s just that I don’t understand it, a slip of the tongue."

But Elder Lin on stage sighed—over the years, the research community has become increasingly impulsive, and so has the general public.

Nowadays, can even the most accessible college tech competitions not attract viewers?

Strengthening the nation is a long way to go!

He was experienced and didn’t mind at this moment; instead, he smiled and said, "Indeed, there are too many technical terms, and listening across different fields can make one drowsy—I experienced the same when I accompanied my wife in learning literary history back then!"

His friendly demeanor helped ease the situation, and Yu Lian couldn’t help but relax and smile.

On stage, Qin Manman bit her lip—she could almost feel what Elder Lin was about to say, but the mood was broken!

So she stepped forward, "Which academy are you from? Do you understand drones? May I ask, where do you think we fell short?"

She couldn’t help but ask again, "Have you ever dealt with drones?"

Currently, drones are still a bit pricey and have many application limitations, so many people frequently update their smartphones but have never used a drone.

Qin Manman’s tone inadvertently sounded a bit proud.

On stage, Elder Lin slightly frowned.

Off stage, Yu Lian also frowned tightly—after years in the workplace, she could discern the tone and context of such words...

Ha!

She outright declared, "I think you haven’t done well anywhere! It’s not even as good as the freebies I got from a live stream giveaway."

Everyone knows that live stream technology is, in the real tech community, like internet celebrities in the entertainment industry...

Qin Manman couldn’t help but feel aggrieved, "How could you insult our achievements like that!"

Yu Lian rolled her eyes.

She really didn’t mean to pick a fight, but encountering this new generation of "green tea lotus" even after leaving the workplace is just...

She reached into her bag, took out the metal dragonfly, and confidently unfolded its wings for everyone to see—

"Look, I’m not here to cause trouble. I genuinely think the prize from the livestream baby was quite good."

Then she pointed to the stacked "obstacle" storage boxes that were set up for demonstration on stage, "If you don’t believe me, I can show you."

With that said, she didn’t use any remote control; she just placed the metal dragonfly in her palm and rubbed it—

Like when you rub a bamboo dragonfly as a child.

The next second, accompanied by an almost inaudible soft buzzing, the metal dragonfly swiftly soared, steady and light.

Far surpassing the clunky drone outfitted with all sorts of accessories just now.

Just watching this take-off action, the judges on stage widened their eyes.

Qin Manman’s face turned sour again as she looked at Lu Ran, who was more professional. His eyes were glued to the metal dragonfly, unable to look away.

Seeing everyone’s gaze, Yu Lian couldn’t help but feel a bit smug, then reflected—my bad, my bad, I really didn’t intend to show off, and I shouldn’t have said that sentence at the beginning!

But, since it’s out in the open, nothing can be done about it now.

She picked up her phone, opened the program downloaded when activating the Four-Core Dragonfly, and displayed the current image of the venue on her phone.

Yu Lian flipped the phone towards everyone and clicked the option [Wide-Range Penetrative Search].

The next second, a line of red text popped up in the center of her phone—

[Warning, detected environment is a safe public place, scanning without rescue authorization is prohibited.]

Everyone was stunned...!!!

Yu Lian: "..." Awkward.

"Clicked the wrong option, clicked the wrong option..."

That’s why I say this Four-Core Dragonfly is quite useless. Although I won the drawing prize, in reality, anywhere except my own room requires permission for scanning...

It might even be because I live in a shared residence that I can’t even scan the corridor through the door!

So... other than flying, it seems there’s not much else it can do.

But there was no time for complaints now, so Yu Lian quickly suppressed her embarrassment, hastily clicked another option [Manual Range Search]

She then zoomed in on the live image and circled the obstacle props set up on the exhibition platform.

Almost instantly, the internal images of the obstacle props were displayed for everyone to see.

Yu Lian’s phone screen wasn’t large, but with everyone focused intently, much could be seen.

For instance, at this moment, a student from the nearby Engineering Academy struggled to speak up—

"The clarity of this penetrative video is amazing!"

Indeed, although the obstacle props were just some cardboard boxes with messy cotton waste and even a stuffed doll inside...

All of this was presented in 480p quality in the video.

For drones, no, for all detection and scanning systems, this is already a considerable breakthrough!

After all, the cotton waste and stuffed doll couldn’t achieve such results with infrared detection alone.

At this moment, everyone lifted their heads to look at the metal dragonfly quietly hovering above the obstacle props—

Compared to the cumbersome drone, it was like a light and nimble dragonfly!

Moreover, the hovering was so steady, so stable, and so quiet...

Various university groups participating in the competition were left crying on the road.

That kind of feeling, Yu Lian, who didn’t understand the industry, couldn’t describe. It was like... in the smart phone era, they were still smugly celebrating the successful development of a universal charger.

And at this moment, none of the judges on stage could sit still!

Elder Lin even began squeezing into the crowd, straining his toes to see better—

"Student, can I take a look at your drone?"

Fortunately, he was, after all, elderly and famous. Once the students noticed, they voluntarily stepped aside, allowing the generally short-statured judges not to be stuck in the outer crowd.

Getting a close look at the video image and this straightforward interface made Elder Lin’s hands tremble uncontrollably, and he asked again, "Student, can I take a look at this drone?"

"Ah!"

Yu Lian only then realized what he meant.

She had a good impression of this elderly gentleman who had amusingly defused the situation earlier, so she handed her phone to Elder Lin, clapped her hands gently, and the hovering drone quickly flew into her arms, gradually descending while neatly folding its blades.

Elder Lin: "!!!"

"You you you..." he stammered, "You clapped your hands and it came down?"

He was quite elderly, and Yu Lian was genuinely concerned about his blood pressure, so she hastily said, "Yes, yes, you can freely choose the commands and set them during activation; it’s quite convenient..."

Elder Lin’s heart twitched.

Quite convenient?

What an understatement of "quite convenient!"

He gingerly accepted the metal dragonfly Yu Lian handed over, feeling its weight in his hands.

It was pretty evident that its shell was rather crude and almost seemed slapped together.

But the technological content of this makeshift device far surpasses their military capabilities!

This is definitely not an ordinary drone!

...

At this moment, everyone’s focus was on Yu Lian and Elder Lin; as for Qin Manman and others, who were supposed to receive compliments, leave a mark in the hearts of the bigwigs, and bask in the glory...

Who remembers them now?
