"This is a vernier caliper."

She explained to them how to read and measure the vernier calipers.

I also casually told them how to calibrate the precision balance used for weighing.

[Zhenzhen truly deserves to be called a top student! And she's so helpful. She knows how to use calipers; if she hadn't told others, she could have easily beaten them, but she did anyway.]

[Knowing how to use a vernier caliper and calibrate a precision balance with a thousandth of a point—that's enough to make you a top student? I could do that in high school too! Jian Zhizhen is truly shameless!]

[It wasn't Jian Zhizhen who claimed to be a top student; besides, she did indeed get first place in the college entrance exam that year, which is known nationwide. Why would she speak about this? Could it be a fan of Lotus Flower (a prostitute) pretending? After all, besides her, no one else seems to care that much about that title.]

...

Zhai Qinghe's agent had been monitoring the situation all morning and realized that they really couldn't continue to smear Jian Zhizhen.

She immediately sent a message to some online trolls in the group: "We tested the waters several times today, and netizens are very disgusted by the smear campaign against Jian Zhizhen. So everyone, stop for a moment. As I said last night, just protect Xiao Hehua. When you can't protect her anymore, steer the topic towards Li Nanyan."

The online troll leader: "So we're just going to ignore Jian Zhizhen then?"

Agent: "Of course we need to manage it! But you have to be careful about the level of criticism. Don't criticize her for no reason! And when you do criticize her, don't involve Xiao Hehua!"

Head of the online trolls: "Received."

...

Chien Chih-chen taught everyone how to use a ruler and a balance scale.

Finally, he reminded everyone: "When you have time, you can also take a look at the production rules of this timeline. Some of the rules are particularly outrageous. If your production value drops to 0, you will be punished."

But nobody cared.

They were all racing against time to win the game.

Everyone except her and Qin Yubai has started working.

The watch on Qin Yubai's wrist is actually the most advanced microcomputer of the 23rd century. He projects a screen full of code, which the audience cannot understand.

Jian Zhizhen took paper and pen from the workbench next to him and began to carefully draw a mechanical design drawing.

She initially thought the quality inspectors were going to conduct a biological experiment, but when she arrived, she realized that they were actually testing the weight and height of the cake.

She didn't want to waste time on such simple, repetitive work.

So I plan to make a device to measure it.

Moreover, the equipment used for this kind of work is much more precise than manual quality inspection.

Her idea was simple: all she needed to do was set up a food security gate that could both weigh and measure the height.

She set aside the vernier calipers and electronic scale, took out her toolbox from her bag, and began to work according to the design drawings.

The once bustling bullet comment section gradually fell silent.

However, the number of viewers has been skyrocketing.

Chien Chih-chen's skin is naturally fair and radiant, and you can see the delicate and distinct veins under the thin skin on the back of her hand, with long and slender fingers.

These are the same hands that are tightening screws, cutting, and welding here...

The striking collision of two extremely opposite styles, sweetness and ergonomics, creates an indescribable aesthetic contrast.

That's why viewers would watch her livestream her inventions for hours on end.

Labor and creation are in the nature of the Chinese people.

Watching these small screws and pieces of metal gradually transform into a large, mass-producible object satisfies the audience's creative desires.

After a long while, a few words popped up sporadically in the comment section:

How much longer will Jian Zhizhen have to work? Look at the back, Li Nanyan and the others are diligently inspecting them; they've already checked dozens of small cakes. Can Jian Zhizhen catch up with them?

Qin Shen has remained silent; it's unclear what the two of them are doing.

[Jian Zhizhen is taking a bit of a risk. I don't know if she'll have enough time to finish it today, and even if she does succeed, is it guaranteed to be ready for use?]

[Yeah, they're really getting too cocky. Just because they're good at studying doesn't mean they're willing to work hard! They're so arrogant! Keep showing off, but if their daily output is at the bottom, they'll be utterly humiliated. [laughing emoji]]

Just then, Jian Zhizhen finished preparing the equipment she needed.

She calmly packed up her toolbox and put it back in her bag.

Then he picked up his equipment, got up, and walked towards his workstation.

Chien Chih-chen used food equipment disinfectant to disinfect the long, rectangular instrument she had made before installing it onto the conveyor belt.

Small cakes that are delivered below the standard weight and height will be placed directly into the rejection box.

Those exceeding the standard weight and height will be directly reduced and modified to the standard state.

She observed from the side for a while.

In half an hour, thirty cakes were made without a single mistake.

Looking at the production value counter, it also includes all the machine quality inspection quantities.

Then she went and increased the speed of the conveyor belt.

Before long, the number of cakes she inspected caught up with everyone else.

Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting; technology drives progress! Li Nanyan and his group toiled away for ages, only to be surpassed by technology in a short time.

[Where did that audience member who just said Zhenzhen was embarrassing go? Did you see her? Did you see her? Did you see her? Come out here and answer me!]

Haha, look at those guests, their eyes are practically glued to them.

After confirming that the machine was usable, Jian Zhizhen decided not to waste any more time there and turned to walk towards Lin Yi.

As she passed by Li Nanyan, he suddenly called out to her, "Jian Zhizhen..."

Jian Zhizhen stopped and looked at him curiously: "What's wrong?"

Li Nanyan glanced at the machine at her workstation, then turned his gaze back to Jian Zhizhen, and unusually put on a smile: "How did you make that machine? Make one for me too."

Anyone with eyes can see that Li Nanyan's attempt to befriend her is just a way of taking advantage of her.

A normal woman would slap him at this point.

You ignored me back then, but now you'll be begging for my attention!

But Jian Zhizhen had no choice; she had taken on the persona of a resentful person.

She didn't want Li Nanyan to get something for nothing, but she also had to follow her agent's arrangements.

It's impossible to give him my own things, and it's also impossible to make another one for him; I don't have that much time or that many materials.

After thinking it over, Jian Zhizhen nodded: "Okay, I'll help you."

The previously quiet comment section was suddenly filled with angry shouts!

【What the heck! You actually helped? Even knowing it's all an act, I'm still not happy! Why should a man get something for nothing?!】

[I can see it now, her sycophantic behavior isn't an act. Thank goodness I didn't follow the trend of turning from hater to fan.]

[Simps and love-struck fools are truly hopeless!]
