The competition officially began with the first round of activities where everyone took out their first product for testing.
The first test will assess the normal performance of batteries under normal, less demanding experimental conditions. The top-scoring batteries will advance to the next round, while those that do not meet these performance standards will be eliminated.
The rules of the competition are extremely simple, but the operation is indeed very difficult. At the beginning of the competition, the products of several companies in the union had an unexpected start.
Initially, several companies within the union confidently promised to place their equipment in the locations they specifically requested.
After the power was turned on, electricity began to flow into the batteries. However, at the very moment of charging, products from two companies exploded.
Two loud bangs were heard, followed by a large fire at the scene. Soon, the safety team arrived with fire-fighting equipment to clean up their products and extinguish the fire.
When the organizing committee members saw these things, they all wore helpless expressions.
"The Eastern Conference teams are really not that great. It seems their skills are stuck decades in the past!"
"Yes, I didn't have high hopes for them to begin with. It seems that the Eastern Conference has indeed run into an unexpected situation. It really is their specialty."
"Don't get your hopes up. Let's see how things are in the Central Division. This time, I heard that several companies have made bold statements saying they want to take the top ten."
"Wow, the Central Division is still so strong. No wonder they are so strong. After all, they specialize in manufacturing high-tech products. Compared to the Eastern Division, their location is like the CBD core area compared to the surrounding rural areas."
When the owners of the two companies saw their products explode on the spot, a helpless expression appeared on their faces. Then they began to put the second set of products into the equipment.
However, when the second set of equipment was placed inside the main unit and powered on, although no explosion occurred, the temperature was high and some short circuits occurred.
However, both of them wore helpless expressions, feeling extremely ashamed and indignant, wishing they could find a place to crawl into.
After all, it's ridiculous to try and make batteries when you don't even understand circuits. Such a mistake wouldn't have happened in ordinary small workshops before the apocalypse.
However, the successive failures of the two companies gave the audience a misconception about the people from the Eastern Region: that the products from the Eastern Region could not possibly pass the preliminary selection.
That's right, nobody thought they could pass the preliminary rounds, let alone the following matches.
After the products of the two companies were destroyed, the third product was told that it could not continue to participate in the competition because it had been judged to be poorly made by the naked eye.
After the two returned, a hint of anger appeared in Zhao Kangming's eyes.
"Are you guys pigs? What are you doing bringing this garbage to the competition? Just don't come. This was supposed to be a serious competition, but you've ruined it. Will our products ever get any attention again?"
The two were filled with shame and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
The bosses of several nearby companies also came over to dissuade him, but losing face is losing face. The Eastern Division's reputation has been tarnished, and as a result, even Xu Zhenhao's side has been despised.
Xu Zhenhao sat with several other leaders of the military region, and he could feel the malice emanating from those around him.
"Hey Lao Xu, your Eastern Conference team is really lame. I think even elementary school kids could make something better than this."
"Old Chen, don't insult elementary school students. The elementary school students in aviation university can form a team that is much stronger than an ordinary company."
"Right, right, I misspoke. What I meant was that the pastor's previous elementary school student wasn't this one. What were you thinking, letting a company like this participate in the competition?"
Xu Zhenhao's expression was uncertain. He wanted to explain several times, but he saw that everyone didn't seem to be paying attention to this.
So he sighed and decided to ignore it for now and see if any other companies would have any outstanding performances.
However, the other companies in the union of the Eastern Conference barely passed the preliminary selection criteria. The preliminary selection rules stipulated that only the top fifty companies would be chosen.
This means that if they are not strong, they may not even make it into the top 50. Due to their poor performance, everyone has concentrated their kitchen waste in other places.
Soon, almost all the companies in the Eastern Division that were affiliated with the unions had participated in the competition. More than 30 companies came in total, but less than half of them passed the first round of assessment.
Everyone was now filled with disappointment and a sense of defeat for the contestants from the eastern region. Then, the judges on the stage glanced down at the list.
"Let's bring two more companies together: Zhendong Company and Julong Technology."
When they heard the other person shouting, everyone in the disaster-stricken area in the east couldn't help but look at the two of them.
These two companies basically represent the strongest forces in the entire eastern region. Of course, although the Giant Dragon Company has not even built its factory yet, it does not affect the influence of its technology in the entire region.
However, others have lost interest in the eastern region. The low pass rate has led everyone to believe that the eastern region is still the same impoverished area that needs aid from other regions.
Xu Zhenhao, sitting in front of the other generals, had a look of helplessness on his face.
He only hopes that Julong Company and Zhendong Company can change everyone's perception of their eastern region.
However, he knew that no matter how outstanding the two of them were, it seemed that they could no longer reveal the fate of the others.
He seemed to have stopped caring about the upcoming match, lowering his head and ignoring it, pondering how to make his next decision.
Just then, a burst of intense shouts suddenly came from the distant arena.
Xu Zhenhao was slightly taken aback and exchanged glances with the other generals, all looking into the distance with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
In the Eastern Division, several judges moved to the center because the battery tested was No. 1 from Zhendong Company.
The judges were all surprised by the performance of Battery No. 1.
"Is this real? It has reached an incredibly high score of 95."
"Yes, usually the passing grade is 60 points, and 95 points is basically beyond the performance capabilities of most batteries."
"Could it be that there really is some more advanced technology in the Eastern Conference?"
