Although the official selection was over, the organizers invited three engineers from two design institutes that specialized in drone research to give three days of lectures.
During the three days, the three engineers talked about the most advanced technologies from the three aspects of drone hardware, software, and wireless transmission technology to all the candidates in the morning. In the afternoon, it was time for discussion and questions.
This event could be considered as a benefit for the participants to further their studies. The next day, before the discussion on software design began, the three products from the University of Information Engineering performed extremely well in the control software. Zhou Li, as the representative, explained the software control technology used in the three drone models and how to solve some difficult problems in the actual operation.
After the formal discussion began, the group of girls were shy and were too embarrassed to speak. The male students looked at the two beautiful girls, Zhou Li and Li Ying. They were afraid that if they said too much, others would think that they had ulterior motives. Therefore, Qu Sen became the main topic of discussion.
Fortunately, Qu Sen participated in the design of the control software in order to hone his programming skills. After a bunch of questions were thrown at him, he was able to answer them in an orderly manner. Everyone thought that he majored in software engineering.
Soon, a female student couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked Qu Sen about soft correction problems related to anti-interference. Then, more and more female students joined in to ask questions.
Seeing that Qu Sen was surrounded by a group of girls talking with fervor and assurance, Miss Zhou hated him so much that she had a constipated expression. Li Ying's smile attracted a lot of secretly prying eyes.
After the three-day welfare course, Qu Sen and the other two were notified that the drone they designed was highly practical and had been chosen by several research institutes. The 109 Institute under the Wireless Vehicle Research Institute in Jiangcheng communicated with the General Assembly and took over the follow-up development of the three drone models.
The research institute also said that they were willing to hire three original developers as off-staff researchers for this project. They were welcome to continue the follow-up work of the three drone models.
The three of them were very happy to have the chance to turn their designs into real products to serve the army. They nodded in agreement without any discussion.
Out of the three researchers invited by the general assembly, two of them came from the Wireless Vehicle Research Institute. Engineer Zhao Zejiang, who was in charge of wireless transmission technology, was a member of Institute 109.
After the organizers communicated with Qu Sen and the other two, Zhao Gong was entrusted by the leaders of Institute 109 to personally talk to the three of them.
After learning who owned the battery technology, silencing technology, and image processing software technology used in the three drones, Zhang Zian decided to take a look. Zhao Gong said that the institute would communicate with the three companies later and work together to further develop the drone project.
The conversation was very pleasant. Zhou Li and Li Ying were originally working in a research unit, so they didn't feel anything other than honored that they were about to become off-staff researchers at 109 Research Institute.
However, Qu Sen was different. He didn't even have a bachelor's degree yet. He was going to be a "researcher" soon, so he felt a little guilty.
Of course, he was more excited.
Although the title of "researcher" had to be "off-staff".
When the participating students began their return journey, Qu Sen's team, along with the other eight winning teams, were held back by the organizers.
The reason was that there were still a bunch of interview missions.
Of course, the interview mission referred to being interviewed. In the beginning, only the General Assembly's own military newspaper and technology newspaper planned to interview the award-winning students and do a small column.
Later, CCTV Department 7 learned that the purpose of the promotion of drone development was to promote the development of drones, but there were excellent works that were both technological and practical. They decided to send a film crew to interview them. The military had also sent an interviewing team over upon hearing the news.
The General Assembly sent a few clerks who were good at copywriting to help the students who were going to be interviewed. They worked through the night to polish the wording of the interview.
Because it involved a TV interview, in order to make everyone look more photogenic, they also found a makeup artist from the art troupe early in the morning to do everyone's makeup. Qu Sen's eyebrows were trimmed for the first time in his life. His face was also covered with foundation.
When his lips were smeared with lipstick, he began to wonder, "How do the girls usually tolerate this sticky feeling?"
At around ten o 'clock in the morning, the interview team of Department 7 arrived. When the accompanying director saw the makeup on everyone's faces, he immediately said that it was fine for the girls to look prettier, but it was best for the boys to be more down-to-earth and appear as themselves.
This was great. A group of boys ran to the bathroom and began to wash their makeup under the tap. Ten minutes later, everyone's faces were covered. After less than two hours of makeup, they collectively died of old age.
The film crew of Department 7 first selected some materials from the videos recorded by the organizers themselves. Then, they filmed some outdoor operation scenes for each winning team. Next, it was the group interviews.
Qu Sen and the other two and the design team of "frigatebird" had won two first prizes, so the interviews were exceptionally long.
Because everyone had no experience being interviewed, after all kinds of fancy NGs, the TV interview ended at around three o 'clock in the afternoon. Next, they had to face a few interviews from several newspapers.
Fortunately, they had experience in TV interviews. When facing the microphone alone, everyone was much calmer. However, after a lot of trouble, it was already six o 'clock in the evening.
After a sumptuous dinner, Qu Sen and the other two finally stepped on the train back the next day. After a bumpy day, they returned to school at around seven o 'clock in the evening in the car sent by the school to pick them up.
They originally thought that they could rest, but in the end, the three were directly pulled to the school's recently built auditorium.
As soon as the three of them entered the auditorium, they were almost pushed out by the sudden applause. When the three of them, who were in a daze, were called to the rostrum, the director personally introduced them to the results of this election. Then, he asked the three of them to say a few words to everyone.
Qu Sen's performance at this time was more terrible. As soon as he obeyed, he shrank to the back. Li Ying was more direct. She reached out and pushed Lady Zhou to the front.
Fortunately, Zhou Li had prepared a foundation from the previous interview. He changed the wording in his mind and blurted out words of thanks. Of course, the most thanks was for the school's unstinting support for the three of them.
The school originally did not plan to make such a big scene. When Qu Sen and the others were still on the train, they found out about the award. Not only would it be published in the military newspaper tomorrow, but it would also be on the military column next week. Therefore, they decided to give them a grand welcome.
The school gathered so many teachers and students together. They could not dismiss everyone in ten minutes. After Zhou Li finished speaking, the political commissar asked the three of them to introduce the three winning works to everyone.
This was not difficult for the three of them. They followed the pattern of participating in the exhibition and separately demonstrated and introduced the three drones. The auditorium was lively until almost nine o 'clock when the student teams returned.
Before Qu Sen and the others left, the three drones were handed over to the school. The school had already decided to collect the three drones. When they built an exhibition hall or a hall of honor in the future, it would be considered a very important collection.
Other things aside, it was something that had been on CCTV's Department 7.
Qu Sen returned to the dormitory exhausted. Only then did he find out that the students of the communication and command major had gone into the mountains to operate the mobile communication relay station. For the next two days, he would be the only one at home in the entire student team.
If everyone went to other practical classes, Qu Sen would definitely rush over. But to be honest, there was really no need for the mobile communication relay station. Qu Sen did not want to pretend to be "positive" when there was no need for it. He simply took the opportunity to rest for two days.
After a good night's sleep, Qu Sen realized that he might not be able to rest after breakfast.
The news that Zhou Li brought was that the school leaders felt that it was too wasteful to keep the three drones as a "collection". They changed their mind and let the three of them use the spare parts to make three prototypes for collection.
It was not difficult to make a display product. The three of them used the spare parts for half a day and it was almost done. After the school's publicity officer came and took a bunch of photos similar to a news interview, the work was considered done.
As soon as the publicity officer left, Zhou Li's phone rang. It was Yue Jianjun calling. At first, Comrade Old Yue pretended to say a few words of congratulations and encouragement, but soon he changed the topic and began to ask about the practicality of the three drones, and whether or not they were just for show.
Zhou Li was provoked by Commander Yue during the drill and could not help but show off a little of his skills. He was severely criticized by the leaders of the unit. Now, he was a little unwilling to see him. After hearing the conversation, he directly gave the phone to Qu Sen.
Qu Sen was still in a state of guilt when it came to Comrade Yue. After taking the phone, he did not dare to blindly get close to him. He honestly reported the performance parameters of the three drones.
In the case of business, Yue Jianjun did not talk about the drill with Qu Sen. After quietly listening to Qu Sen's introduction, he said that if he had time, he would personally go to the school to see the three drones. Then, he hung up the phone.
After dinner, Zhou Li and Li Ying wanted to go out. Qu Sen just had the urge to run when Lady Zhou's threat sounded.
Considering that the prize money for this competition was still in the hands of others, Qu Sen could only "endure the humiliation" and run back to the dorm to change clothes.
He took out his phone from under the blanket. A few seconds after he turned it on, the phone rang. After he picked it up, the voice of Staff Officer Huang sounded, "Qu Sen, why is your stupid phone turned off? The division commander has been looking for you for a day!"
Han Zhenjiang did not know where he heard that Qu Sen had won an award for drone design. He also knew very well about the performance of the three drones that their team participated in this competition.
