Qiu Yongsi's outspokenness made Judy lose face, and Judy and he became enemies.
"The old man is taking advantage of his age and won't give me face. Don't even think about asking me to give him face in the future."
Judy forced herself to finish recording the interview with her mentor, but her expression immediately changed afterward, and she stared sinisterly at Qiu Yongsi from the audience.
His assistant handed him some water and followed up on him, saying, "That Dai Li was the same. She asked you to sign your name and didn't give you any face at all."
Judy rolled her eyes at her assistant and cursed, "You know shit! She only admires me, that's why she foolishly asked me for my name."
Judy smirked, "Oh, you couldn't see clearly from the audience, but my angle was just right. She was secretly flirting with me the whole time."
The assistant couldn't tell whether she admired him or not, but since Judy said she admired him, then he must have admired him.
Judy said she would not give Qiu Yongsi face, so when selecting contestants, he began to compete secretly with Qiu Yongsi.
The contestants who are able to participate in the recording on site have all undergone preliminary screening, and there are only 10 contestants in total.
The contestants come from all corners of the world and from all walks of life. Most of them have their own jobs, and the works they bring are closely related to their work and life.
There are "sheep-herding robots" that assist with herding, luminous vests that protect against oncoming vehicles when walking at night, clothes that can help elderly people call for help if they fall, automatic wood splitters, and solar-powered cars...
The works are varied, with some being creative and some being purely imaginative.
For example, if an elderly person falls and puts on a help-calling jacket, the sensors connected to the body are very strange. The fall must be strong and at the right angle, then the machine will pop out the life-saving airbag and help contact family members.
The inventor slammed his hands on the stage and it hurt just to watch.
Among this group of amateur inventors, there are still one or two professionals.
One of them is Zhao You, who graduated from an engineering school and now works in a foreign-funded enterprise. The search and rescue electronic dog he made is highly complete and can detect life sources using infrared and acoustic waves.
There is also a man named Dong Yiwei, who has worked in the water company for more than ten years and has been researching circulating water systems.
Among the contestants, Qiu Yongsi admired Zhao You the most. First, both of them were from engineering backgrounds, and second, Zhao You's work made him more satisfied.
So after Zhao You finished explaining his work, Qiu Yongsi directly invited him, hoping that he could join his team.
But with Judy around, he definitely won't get what he wants.
The two of them started fighting over Zhao You on the stage.
"I'm an engineering graduate, and I've done some research on AI technology and information analysis. My lab is spacious, fully equipped with equipment and accessories, and I have experimental data. Whether Zhao You continues to work on the search and rescue electronic dog or develops other projects, he should join my team." It's rare for Qiu Yongsi to say such a long speech.
Judy immediately retorted, "Teacher Qiu, is your lab your own, or does it belong to the school? If it does, you shouldn't make your own decisions."
Qiu Yongsi's face looked unhappy, and he responded to Judy's question with silence.
Judy smiled proudly. "Speaking of equipment, I have some new equipment just shipped back from abroad. It's the world's most advanced technology. Excuse me, is your equipment domestically produced? Is it from the last century or the 21st century?"
"Speaking of experimental data, I have firsthand data from Yale and Harvard, with elites from prestigious universities providing technical guidance. Isn't that more valuable than yours?"
Qiu Yongsi didn't even want to listen to him, and angrily slammed the table. "Nonsense! What makes you say our experimental data is not as valuable as yours? Have you ever used our domestically produced equipment?"
Judy was even happier because she had angered the other party.
He spread his hands indifferently. "I'm just raising a reasonable question. I know you have a lot of experience, but no matter how experienced you are, you can't deprive me of my right to express my opinion. This isn't your place to have the final say."
After watching them quarrel for a while, the director team arranged for Xiang Ji to come out and mediate.
"Teachers, please don't be so angry about fighting over someone. I know you two are eager to recruit talented people, but we should just select the right person and not hurt the harmony."
Judy pretended to apologize to Qiu Yongsi, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiu. I'm a straightforward person and I didn't want you to snatch away my talent, so I was a little blunt. I definitely didn't mean to offend you. I hope you don't mind."
Qiu Yongsi was so angry that he didn't even want to look at Judy. He supported himself with his elbows and turned his face away.
At this time, Dai Li suddenly said, "Teacher Judy."
Judy suddenly perked up when she heard the voice: "What's going on?"
Dai Li: "You always talk about how advanced your overseas equipment is, how authoritative your overseas data is, and how many elite alumni are willing to provide technical guidance. Why don't you mention your own abilities at all? What kind of help can you bring to the contestants? Can you lead them to make breakthrough inventions, or help them realize their fanciful ideas?"
Judy didn't expect that the person who was her "admirer" just a second ago would now dare to question her.
His face immediately darkened.
It’s fine for Qiu Yongsi to challenge him, after all, Qiu Yongsi has the capital. Who is Dai Li to question him?
Judy asked arrogantly, "I can't help them achieve it, is it you?"
Dai Li was not angry at all: "What if it was really me?"
Judy scoffed, "What a joke."
Dai Li understood the weaknesses of people like Judy who were self-righteous, vain and ostentatious, and knew how to provoke them.
"As a Harvard and Yale dual-degree PhD holder and an honorary consultant for a major international corporation, you would be a laughing stock if you weren't as good as an outsider like me."
Judy, who was feeling proud of having successfully provoked Qiu Yongsi just a moment ago, finally felt the feeling of being provoked.
Judy's face now looks even uglier than Qiu Yongsi's.
"How can I be inferior to you? You'll spend a lifetime learning what I can come up with after drinking a bottle of whiskey."
Dai Li suddenly laughed: "Your confidence is indeed like drinking a bottle of whiskey."
Judy was so pissed off that she hit her head and came up with an idea: "Since you're so dissatisfied with me, do you dare to compete with me alone? In the next preliminary round, in addition to the contestants' works, you can bring out a work of your own and compete with me. Do you dare?"
The staff in the audience were all watching their backs and no one dared to make a loud noise.
"The smell of gunpowder is too strong."
"There are so many famous scenes in this first episode before it's even finished recording."
"But isn't Judy a bit of a bully? Dai Li is just a star. How could she invent anything?"
"With the tearing like this, I think our show might become a hit."
Sister Tu in the audience was so confused that she wanted to rush onto the stage, wake up Dai Li, and ask her in her ear: Two big guys are fighting, why are you, a cannon fodder, getting involved?
Qiu Yongsi also felt that Judy was bullying, and retorted dissatisfiedly: "What's the point of competing with other girls? If you have the ability, come and compete with me."
Judy: "Why does Teacher Qiu look down on Miss Dai? Didn't you hear her say she's better than me? It's still uncertain who will win, right, Miss Dai?"
Dai Li: "If the production team agrees, I have no problem with that."
The competition hasn't officially started yet, but the mentors have already started arguing. There is no reason for the program team to stop them. It's such a good topic and can even create conflict.
After the program team made the final decision, many people in the studio looked at Dai Li with sympathy.
Xiang Ji on the stage seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Qiu Yongsi still had a dark face. He was angry that Dai Li was meddling in his affairs. It was not like he couldn't deal with Judy, so why did he need her to intervene and get herself into trouble?
Although Judy himself has many flaws, his gilded resume still makes him the most sought-after mentor.
Zhao You, who was being fought over by them, chose Judy without hesitation.
But the second most popular contestant Dong Yiwei chose Qiu Yongsi.
The three spots for two people were quickly filled.
The remaining people then scrambled for Xiang Ji's spot, and then Xiang Ji's three spots were also filled.
In the end, there was only one person left, the only female contestant in the entire field, and also the inventor of that useless anti-fall jacket.
She had no choice but to join Dai Li's team.
Sister Tu protested to the program team from the audience, asking if such grouping was unfair.
The program team is also in a difficult position. First of all, the mentors are chosen by the contestants themselves. It would be unfair to replace anyone, and the contestants may not necessarily agree.
And looking at that girl, she doesn't seem very willing.
Fortunately, Dai Li herself didn't say anything. She accepted it happily.
After the recording was accepted, the two of them left the stage together. Seeing her dejected look, Dai Li casually asked, "Don't you want to be in my team?"
The girl's name was Tang Yi. She was startled, afraid that Dai Li would misunderstand her, so she shook her head and said, "No, I just felt that I didn't behave well today, and I was angry with myself."
Dai Li turned his head and smiled at her: "Then go back and make corrections. We will perform better next time."
Tang Yi himself wasn't very sure, so he could only reply with a nervous heart: "Okay."
When she got to the stage, Dai Li saw Sister Tu's face that looked like she had lost all hope in life.
Although Sister Tu had seen the original owner's various ways of seeking death and causing trouble before, this was the first time he dared to provoke academic experts.
She could already imagine how netizens would laugh at her when the show aired.
She looked down on the program at first, but later she felt that the program had positive educational significance and might even change the image of Dai Li in the public's mind.
Now there is no need to think about it at all. I should be thankful that I am not ridiculed to death.
"Sister Tu, are you okay?" Dai Li saw that her face looked unwell.
Sister Tu rolled her eyes at her and was about to blame her for being outspoken and overestimating her own abilities.
But I saw Judy walking behind, looking arrogant and proud.
Judy swaggered up to Tang Yi and shook her head regretfully: "Excuse me, little girl. Actually, I also want to accept you, but our place is full. I have no choice but to let you go."
After saying this, he didn't give anyone time to respond and left with his team in a dashing manner.
Qiu Yongsi came over and pointed at Dai Li and said, "You, young people are too impulsive."
Sister Tu nodded frantically in agreement, that’s right!
Qiu Yongsi criticized her and finally snorted: "If you can't handle it on your own, don't force yourself, come to me anytime."
Sister Tu watched Qiu Yongsi leave and said to Dai Li, "Fortunately, the old professor has a good heart, otherwise you would have cried."
Dai Li:......
Tang Yi is an introverted person. Although he felt disappointed when he was forced to join Dai Li's team, he did not express any dissatisfaction to the program crew. After the recording was finished, he just went straight into the factory provided by the program crew.
Because the program recording cycle is relatively long, there will be a week of time for inventing and adjusting the products after each episode is recorded, so the program team provides each contestant with a factory for them to create and stack equipment.
In principle, the program team’s factory can be used at will, but it is not necessary to use the program’s factory. This is why Judy and Qiu Yongsi are so popular.
Xiang Ji has good interpersonal relationships and has many friends in academia and the circle. It is a simple matter for him to borrow something or ask someone for guidance.
Therefore, the only one who was actually using the program team's factory was Tang Yi.
She put her anti-fall clothes on the table and watched silently without saying a word.
Dai Li walked over with her hands in her pockets and asked slowly, "Do you want to improve your anti-fall alarm clothing, or do you want to make a new invention?"
Tang Yi pondered for a while and said, "Let's go with this one. Time is too tight. I'm afraid I won't have enough time for anything else."
Dai Li heard it, and she seemed a little hesitant, not daring to take big steps.
She did not force Tang Yi to change her invention, or she tactfully expressed that her invention was a bit useless and might not have an advantage in the next competition.
Each of them has his or her own understanding of his or her invention and has poured his or her own emotions into it. It is disrespectful to persuade them to give up without authorization.
However, she still wanted to help Tang Yi as much as possible and make Tang Yi's work as perfect as possible.
"You can continue making anti-fall alarm clothing, but the amount of work you'll need to make adjustments to is considerable."
Tang Yi herself was of course very clear about this, but from Dai Li's tone, it seemed that she was not just saying it casually, but had really thought about it seriously for her.
Tang Yi knew that Dai Li was an outsider and could not conduct a professional analysis of her design theory, but she still wanted to know, from an outsider's perspective, what areas could she improve.
Tang Yi humbly asked, "Does Teacher Dai have any good suggestions?"
"Just call me by my name, no need to call me teacher." Dai Li said.
"I noticed that the airbag in your anti-fall alarm vest is triggered by a 'collision'. However, after a 'collision' occurs, the airbag's protective effect on the user will be compromised."
Tang Yi nodded: "I understand this, but the sensor components on the clothes need external 'collision' stimulation, otherwise how will the airbag know whether to deploy and when to deploy."
"You're probably familiar with the gyroscopes used in cell phones. You could try to leverage the principle of a gyroscope and modify the fall-prevention alarm vest so that it triggers the airbags when it reaches a certain tilt, and then sounds an alarm if the wearer falls and remains motionless for more than a minute. This would greatly reduce the chances of misdialed calls."
Tang Yi's eyes lit up after hearing this. This was a completely new idea that she had never thought of.
Then he kept asking Dai Li new questions.
Dai Li patiently answered their questions one by one.
Tang Yi suddenly realized.
At this time, Sister Tu, who had been on the phone outside for a long time, came in.
As soon as he came in, he saw Tang Yi had changed his introverted personality and was chattering to Dai Li. His previously dead fish eyes were reborn, as if emitting golden light.
"What's wrong with you?" Tang Yi asked curiously.
But she was just asking casually, she had something more important to share with Dai Li.
"By the way, I just used my connections to get you a new announcement..."
Before Sister Tu could finish her words, Dai Li suddenly called.
After answering the phone, Dai Li said, "Wait, I have to go back and pick up a package first."
"What's going on? Why is it so urgent?" Even work had to be put on hold.
Dai Li: "The patent certificate I applied for has been issued."
Sister Tu:?
Tang Yi:!
