Back then, when the professor assigned the task, he had said that making this physical mechanical device was a compulsory team task.
Each team of three people would complete it together. In the end, they would be scored according to the results of the experiment.
This score would directly affect the total score of this training.
There were training camps in every country, and the professors came from ten universities around the world.
Therefore, after this training ended, the scores of each team would also be handed over to the organizing committee.
The organizing committee would make a preliminary evaluation of the contestants based on these scores, and it might even be linked to the international finals.
This physical mechanical device was not very difficult, but it was very troublesome to make.
Especially the core of the device.
The three of them would need three days to complete it.
Xiu Yan could clearly see that in Ying Zijin's team, Teng Yunmeng and Feng Yue had been working on it, while Ying Zijin had not done anything.
How could she be called Yingshen?
A group of people on the Internet also followed suit, but it was only because of her looks.
However, Xiu Yan had to admit that Ying Zijin was indeed very good-looking.
She had been in the entertainment industry for a year and had seen many female celebrities with godly looks.
Even the number one female top celebrity in the entertainment industry could not surpass Ying Zijin in terms of looks.
Fortunately, Ying Zijin did not enter the entertainment industry.
Xiu Yan sighed softly.
What a pity.
Such a person was good friends with Xiu Yu.
This meant that they could only be on opposite sides.
Regardless of whether Ying Zijin was really talented or not, she could not let Xiu Yu have any more help.
"Was it you?" Teng Yunmeng could not stand Xiu Yan's sarcastic tone. She slammed the table and sneered. "You're also on the third floor. If you want to enter my room, it's not impossible."
She had gone out to buy the components in the morning, and the device was still fine.
After coming back, the core was burned. How could it be such a coincidence?
Xiu Yan stopped smiling and her expression turned cold. "Teng Yunmeng, it's illegal to spread rumors. Who knows if you've touched something?"
"We also made this device and know how easy it is to damage the core. If you don't put it properly, don't blame others."
Feng Yue quickly held Teng Yunmeng down and shook his head at her.
The Xiu Clan's influence was great, and Xiu Yan was also the Eldest Young Miss. If he could avoid provoking her, he wouldn't.
Xiu Yan paused and smiled. "Also, Teng Yunmeng, according to your logic, Ying Zijin is also on the third floor. If she wanted to enter your room, wouldn't it be easier for her than for me?"
Teng Yunmeng laughed at her brazenness. "You'd better not let me find evidence."
Xiu Yan shrugged his shoulders indifferently and continued to smile. "Alright, go ahead."
Ying Zijin ignored him. She continued to look at the square device, and her expression changed slightly.
The other two teams asked about it out of concern and also sat by the side to wait.
After a while, a few professors also arrived.
There were also a few staff members following behind. They were carrying a machine that was as tall as a person.
"Today is the day to test the equipment." Zuo Li clapped her hands. "Later, according to the order, I will record your scores. Is that okay?"
"Yes." Before Feng Yue and Teng Yunmeng could speak, the girl beside Xiu Yan immediately raised her hand. "Professor Zuo, Teng Yunmeng's team's equipment is broken. They can't participate in today's test."
Hearing this, Zuo Li was stunned. "Broken? What happened? "
"I don't know who touched it. The core is burned." Feng Yue was helpless. "Professor Zuo, can you give us more time?"
"Why?" The girl crossed her arms. "The core is burned. It means that you didn't connect the wires properly when you connected them. It's only right to finish the equipment within the stipulated time."
Xiu Yan smiled and didn't say anything.
Zuo Li ignored her. He frowned and thought for a moment. "Then I'll give you half a day."
After a pause, he said weakly, "Mr Ying, you can do it now."
Ying Zijin's hands that were fiddling with the square device paused. She raised her head and slowly raised her eyebrows. "Professor Zuo, are you serious?"
In order to prevent her from participating, Zuo Li even stared at her for a while.
"Yes, I'm serious." Zuo Li held his forehead. "Take it easy. Just take it easy."
He really couldn't bear to see her bully the other students.
But since this had happened, there was no other way.
He couldn't drag down the entire team's score. After all, this test score had to be handed over to the organizing committee.
If there was a gap in the score, it would have a bad impact on Teng Yunmeng and Feng Yue.
Ying Zijin: "I'll try my best."
"…"
"Then that's that." Zuo Li clapped his hands again. "Everyone, go back first. We've prepared new questions. We'll come back at five in the afternoon for the test."
Ying Zijin stood up and nodded at Teng Yunmeng and Feng Yue. "You two go and do the questions. Leave this to me. It'll be done in the afternoon. Don't worry."
After that, she took the square device and walked out.
"Yan Yan, what did Professor Zuo mean by those words?" The girl was very surprised. "Why did he ask Ying Zijin to take it easy?"
Xiu Yan didn't care at all. "Maybe he thinks that Mr Ying is very powerful and will scare us when he makes a move."
Hearing this, the girl laughed. "How can she scare us? Could it be that she was able to fix the device in just half a day? The core of this device is broken, so we have to make a new one. "
Zuo Li giving her half a day was actually no different from not giving her any time.
Half a day was not enough to connect the wires.
Teng Yunmeng and Feng Yue couldn't do it together, so what could Ying Zijin do alone?
"Who cares about them?" Xiu Yan glanced at them. "Let's go back and do the questions."
Teng Yunmeng didn't leave. She was replying to Ying Zijin's WeChat.
Feng Yue came over. "What did Yingshen send you?"
Teng Yunmeng scratched her head. "He asked me where I bought the components."
Because the students were required to design the device independently, the training camp didn't even provide the components.
After all, the blueprints were different, so the components needed would also be different.
Feng Yue nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
**
Half a day passed quickly.
At 4: 50 in the afternoon, the students gathered in the large classroom again.
Ying Zijin hadn't come back yet.
Zuo Li glanced at his watch. "You guys test first. Teng Yunmeng's team will be last."
Although Xiu Yan's results weren't the best in the team, she was the team leader.
She took the completed device forward and put it into the machine.
However, after a full minute, the machine didn't move. It didn't even make a sound.
This proved that the device they made was not up to standard.
Xiu Yan's smile froze for a moment, and she squeezed her fingers.
"At least it didn't explode." Zuo Li recorded a score in his notebook. His voice didn't fluctuate. "Okay, next."
Xiu Yan took out the device, lowered her head, and quickly stood aside. Her cheeks were flushed red.
Whether it was in the entertainment industry or in the Xiu family, she was used to being praised. She had never been mocked like this before.
If it wasn't to increase her popularity and attract people for the Xiu family, she wouldn't have come to participate in the training.
After the next two groups put in the mechanical device, the machine started to turn, but they didn't make the machine run completely.
"Not bad, not bad." Zuo Li was pleasantly surprised. "It's really not bad. It can be excellent. Very good."
He also received news from the other training camps.
Not all of the students from the other countries were able to make the machine work.
As for the ones that were fully operational, only one or two groups could do it.
Ying Zijin arrived at the same time. It was exactly five minutes past five.
She turned the device in her hand, walked forward, and put it into the machine.
Teng Yunmeng was a little nervous. "Feng Yue, we won't explode, right?"
"How is that possible?" Feng Yue was very confident. "With Yingshen, what's there to be afraid of?"
"The main thing is that the time is too short." Teng Yunmeng was worried. "I don't know if Zijin can complete all the circuits."
Xiu Yan crossed his arms and looked over with a cold gaze.
She wanted to see what kind of tricks Ying Zijin could come up with in just one afternoon.
They had been working on it for four days and had failed. She really didn't believe that Ying Zijin could complete it.
It wasn't just Xiu Yan. The other students' eyes were also focused on the machine.
Under everyone's gaze, Ying Zijin pressed the switch.
"Kacha kacha —"
As soon as it was turned on, a dull sound came from the machine.
Immediately, in less than three seconds, every light on the machine lit up one by one.
The other parts of the machine also started to operate, connecting the whole machine.
It was fully operational!
Teng Yunmeng covered her mouth and exclaimed.
Xiu Yan's expression suddenly changed, and her expression finally became serious.
Zuo Li's mouth twitched. "…"
He knew it.
This device wasn't particularly difficult. If given enough time, every team could make the machine fully operational.
The problem was that there wasn't enough time.
Being able to make the machine work was enough.
He asked her to take it easy, but she still didn't take it easy.
"There's nothing else to say. Everyone has seen it." Zuo Li sighed. "Full marks."
No one had any objections.
Xiu Yan's fingers clenched even tighter.
"Mr Ying, you've always been very punctual." Zuo Li asked casually, "Why are you late this time?"
Ying Zijin's time was really accurate to the second.
He really didn't know how she did it.
She was simply more accurate than a clock.
Ying Zijin turned off the machine and took out the device. She said calmly, "I went to East Street to get a surveillance camera. It took a few minutes."
"Professor Zuo, take a look."
She raised her hand and placed a USB flash drive on the table.
East Street was where Teng Yunmeng bought the components.
