Although the College Student Invention Competition does not seem to be so high-end because of the word "college student", it is not actually the case.
In addition to teaching tasks, universities also have scientific research tasks. Many excellent college mechanics can even reach level 5 or 6. Compared with the Republic’s top legendary mechanics, they are only 1 to 2 levels away.
Therefore, these elite students are also the core figures in many university scientific research projects. Due to their specialties and different research fields, sometimes even the legendary mechanics leading the team have to ask them some questions.
It is not true that their inventions are useless. Many elite university mechanics can even develop mechas and fighter planes...
The annual College Student Invention Competition attracts a lot of attention. This competition is also a competition among hundreds of universities with mechanical departments in the Xingyue Republic.
In order to help students achieve better results, many mechanical experts will even come on stage to give guidance to some of the more talented students. So although it may seem like an invention competition between college students, in fact, it is also a competition of the foundations of various universities.
"The mechanical age is all about convenience."
At the Orange Sky Research Institute, as the start time of the competition drew closer, Lu Ran and his team, who had completed their invention mission, took a short break.
These ten days or so have exhausted Rika, No. 18 and the others, even after Rika slowed down the flow of time and closed the Hell Path from time to time.
Obviously, even a legend like the Six Paths Flower cannot withstand the consumption of playing with time.
But fortunately, they succeeded in the end.
In addition, what makes Lu Ran feel more comfortable in the mechanical age is that the venue of the "College Student Invention Contest" is not in "reality".
But in the "Mechanical Secret Realm".
Moreover, the main "judge" is not "human mechanics" but "super artificial intelligence."
At that time, after the competition begins, all contestants can enter the Mechanical Secret Realm through the teleportation entrance of their own university. After entering the Mechanical Secret Realm, everyone will be assigned to a separate area.
In this area, there are only the contestants themselves.
At the same time, this area is monitored by super artificial intelligence and broadcast live on the Internet.
Contestants need to present their inventions "speaking to themselves" directly in this competition area.
Next, during the presentation, the super artificial intelligence will rank the contestants’ inventions in real time based on certain judging criteria, and everyone’s ranking will change every minute and every second.
Once everyone has presented their work, the final ranking will be locked.
This is the "initial ranking".
Then, it is the "audience voting" and "expert jury" sessions. The "top 100" inventions selected by artificial mechanical intelligence will be open to voting by viewers watching the live broadcast. In addition, the expert jury composed of 10 legendary mechanics will also stand from the human perspective and fine-tune some rankings based on the results of the "audience voting" and their own professional knowledge.
The ranking after this is the final ranking.
In other words, during this invention competition, there is no need to wait for contestants one by one to present their inventions. Instead, tens of thousands of contestants will present their inventions simultaneously, and the super artificial intelligence will summarize the rankings in real time for everyone to discuss.
Saves a lot of time.
…………
The invention competition is getting closer and closer.
Capital University of Mechanical Engineering is considered to be one of the top five universities in the Xingyue Republic in terms of the level of its mechanical department.
Before the competition started, President Deng of Capital University of Mechanical Engineering and several other leaders held a pre-competition discussion meeting for the invention competition.
"Whether Capital University of Mechanical Engineering can achieve excellent results in this 'College Student Invention Competition' depends mainly on these three people."
"Yu Su, we have been improving the 'space jump device' for the past two years. This year, we have made great progress. After the improvement, even ordinary people without any weapons can use the space jump device to achieve a certain range of instant movement and withstand the load brought by mechanical space movement."
"If the cost can be reduced, it can be used in the field of disaster prevention to help ordinary people move around in disaster situations."
Everyone nodded. Although the strategic significance was not very great, and even the value of ordinary people was not as great as the cost of such a device, this was just a college student invention competition after all. An invention that could help the safety of ordinary people and make ordinary people feel "cared for" would definitely attract a lot of votes and affect the final ranking.
"Li Xingyao, Ke Chuanqi's favorite student, has participated in the invention competition for three consecutive years and has been ranked in the top ten for three consecutive years. This year, he developed the 'Hidden Dragon Suit', and it is predicted that he will also be ranked in the top ten!"
"The Stealth Dragon Suit is a special equipment developed based on the ability of the Tribe-Exterminating Dragon Clan to transform into a stealth dragon. Its greatest function is to conceal its own existence. It may seem like a very ordinary ability, but for equipment of this type, the Stealth Dragon Suit has achieved a breakthrough in cost and function. Not only has the cost been reduced to a level that a mid-level mechanic can afford, but during the experiment, the Stealth Dragon Suit is said to have allowed a level 5 beastmaster to successfully evade the perception of a level 70 Overlord! He was able to steal resources from the other party's cave without being noticed!"
"And Ji Xie, her latest achievement, the 'Red Lotus Mecha' that uses the earth's core lava as energy, has finally achieved a breakthrough from 'King' to 'Overlord'..."
It's not just Capital University of Mechanical and Electrical. All schools are discussing the research results of their own students and how to "build momentum" and "canvass votes" for key contestants in the "publicity segment."
…
Xingyue University of Science and Technology.
A young man walked out of the research institute with great excitement and looked up at the starry sky.
"Death Gun boss, I made it!"
He is from the Star-Moon Federation and is a fourth-level mechanic in the Mechanical Department of Star-Moon University. He is very excited about entering the Mechanical Age. The Mechanical Age is the least explored era between the two worlds. This era hides countless wealth and is full of opportunities.
During these ten days, through his unremitting efforts, he successfully became the apprentice of a legendary mechanic.
The method of becoming an apprentice is to “steal ideas”.
"Death Gun, thank you so much. If we can suppress Blue Star's passerby this time, you will have made the greatest contribution. When I, Mark, return for an interview, I will definitely give you a licking."
As the first big man in the Star-Moon Federation to combine machinery and the undead, Death Gun's reputation in the field of machinery is no less than that of the legendary mechanic. He has also researched many black technologies related to the soul.
Among them, some black technologies have even disclosed their core technologies.
For example, the technology of the "soul massage device" has long been included in Xingyue University for the purpose of cultivating more talents.
It was at Star-Moon University that Mark experienced and learned the making of the "Soul Massage Device" developed by Death Gun. This soul massage device can massage humans like a massage chair to relax the soul of the Beastmaster. Then, over a period of time, his learning efficiency improved.
He simplified and imitated Death Gun's "soul massage device", which earned him the appreciation of a legendary mechanic. Although the level of machinery in later generations cannot compare to that of the mechanical age, there are some small exceptions. For example, Death Gun, who was favored by the God of the Underworld, combined soul and technology to create some epoch-making new gadgets.
This time, Mark felt that he was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary of Death Gun Boss's invention.
In his opinion, even if the awesome Lu Ran from Blue Star successfully completed the mechanical transformation of the Overlord's pet, what would it matter? He imitated Death Gun's "soul massage device", and now it has been improved under the advice of the legendary mechanical teacher. For the development of the entire mechanical department, it is definitely more meaningful than the mechanical transformation of an Overlord!
…
"Although I have given up hope of completing the breakthrough mission and getting a good ranking, it's still good to have the chance to evolve a mechanical pet..."
"I have also learned a lot of knowledge about mechanics. After returning to Blue Star, if I stay in the country, I will definitely become a leader. After all, mechanics are so rare."
"If I were to make it to the Condor Federation, which is now vigorously developing the mechanical department, they would definitely be very happy to accept me! The Condor Country's treatment of talents is the best in the world!"
"Also, it's not bad to go to 'Xia Country'. Now that 'Xia Country' and 'Amazon God Country' have established diplomatic relations, there is unlimited potential. The most important thing is that Xia Country's Lu Ran is also here. We can contact 'Lu Ran' in advance when we break through the secret realm."
At this moment, several trial participants from the small country on Blue Star were also fantasizing about their bright future.
It can be said that no matter what their identity is, whether NPC or trial-taker, they have clearly found their own position within just over ten days and are ready to maximize their benefits.
As for Lu Ran, except for a few trial participants who knew how awesome he was, he seemed to be forgotten on the eve of this busy competition.
Dr. Orange Sora was busy with his project at the Divine Research Institute and had no idea that he was also participating in the invention contest.
Although Principal Fu signed him up for the invention competition, considering that Lu Ran was a novice in mechanics, Principal Fu thought that Lu Ran was just participating for fun.
虽然路然确认跟随橙空博士学习了，但问题是，十几天也难以出什么成果，何况，由于橙空博士工作繁忙，教学还未正式开始。
因此大赛当天，路然就像个孤儿一样，没有受到任何人关注的，在规定时间，来到了首都机械大学的机械秘境传送大厅。
不……倒也不是一点关注没有。
“是你！！”路然在空旷的传送大厅找位置的时候，再次见到了那个被哈总击败的玄霆机甲的主人。
“你是叫……姬谢诗对吧？”路然停下，回忆起来。
“不是！没有诗！”姬谢不善的看着路然，道：“你竟然也来参加发明大赛了，正好，前段时间因为忙着研发新机甲没空以其他方式挑战你，等大赛结束，你和我再来一场战斗，怎么样。”
“不要。”没有了研究所的规则限制，路然才不想在弱小NPC上浪费时间，直接找到了自己的传送舱坐了进去，这让姬谢肺都气炸。
而周围的首都机械大学参赛者见到这一幕，也是直接发愣。
卧槽，路人甲竟然也来参赛了。
不是调查说这家伙曾经没接触过机械系，是机械系新生吗？ 难不成这么短的时间内，那只光剑狗的机械进化道具已经研发成功了吗？ 就在学生们猜测纷纷时，大厅内传出广播：
【请各位参赛选手尽快坐于指定传送位置……】
【请各位……】
系统广播传出，学生们稀稀拉拉的走动起来，然后坐了下去，姬谢虽然生气路然赢完就跑，不给复仇机会，不让她爽，但眼下显然还是发明大赛更为重要。
“来吧。”当下，路然舒服的坐在传送舱中，耳边也响起了传送倒计时……
【300…299… 298……】
五分钟后！
路然的全身被光耀笼罩，直接消失在了传送大厅。
同时，他的身形，出现在了一个长满枯草，宽广无比的实验场地中。
除了一望无垠的实验场地，天空中，还睁着一颗巨大的眼瞳，差点让路然以为是“邪神之瞳”。
不过事实上……
【种族】：究极空间 【属性】：机械 【种族等级】：准传说
【成长等级】：92级
【介绍】：星月共和国研发出来的空间型机械生命，具备战斗、研究等多项功能，可以用究极之瞳关注体内千百万量级生命的一举一动。
“准传说造物……好吧。。”路然耸了耸肩，不愧是人类实力最强的时代。
…………
同一时间，数万参赛者齐齐进入机械秘境·究极空间内。
通过究极之瞳的直播，他们的一举一动，也已经出现在了“大学生发明大赛”的官网上，数万个直播间同步直播起每一位选手的情况。
早就守在直播间外的观众们，在直播间开通那一刻，纷纷带上了机械眼镜，如同身临其境，如同神灵一般，以第一视角，视线进入了究极空间，近距离的关注起参赛选手。
那些比较热门的参赛选手，他们的直播间毫无疑问进入了超大量级的观众，而一些没有名气、近乎来凑数的学生，关注度几乎是0。
像路然，由于参赛前没有做任何宣传，根本没有人关注他这个小角色。
不过这些都是无关紧要的事情，因为“超级人工智能：究极空间生命”本身，有在关注着每一个选手，它会绝对公平的，将每个参赛选手的发明成果进行排名。
就算先前无人关注，只要发明成果够厉害，也迟早会被究极空间安排到排名前列，然后引起大量关注。
紧接着，只需要通过直播回放，就可以让之前没有关注到黑马选手的观众，从头到尾观看一遍展示过程。
外界。
发明大赛持续进行。
各大高校的导师，来自各个企业的机械师，以及从各界选出的专家评审团，都没有一开始就进入某个直播间观看。
而是统一盯着一个实时变动的排名，等待着“究极空间”的评判。
排名先是空白的。
等过了一、两分钟后，已经有展示的比较迅速的参赛者，登上了排名榜单。
允许的研究成果展示时间，是30分钟，所以，30分钟后，是初次评分阶段的最终排名。
两分钟虽然还不代表什么，但是当有学校的领导看到自家学生登上前十，还是情不自禁露出笑容。
【首都机械大学，李星耀，研究发明：变隐龙战衣，目前排名第4位！展示状态：已完成。】
“第4位，第4位，不知道最后能不能保持住！”
首都机械大学这边，邓校长、付校长还有一众校领导看到李星耀的排名，立刻高兴道。
【三星机械大学，廉瑟，研究发明：青眼黑龙机械进化外甲，进化失败，选手已淘汰！展示状态：已完成。】
当然，几家欢喜几家愁，也有一些拿着发明成果的参赛选手，并没能顺利展示，直接被究极空间淘汰掉，名字跌落到最底下，排名垫底。
时间……一点点过去。
排名靠前的参赛选手，无非就是星月科技大学、首都机械大学、国家航天航空大学、国防机械大学等几个名牌大学的精英学生。
第一名：国家航天航空大学，石宇航，研究发明：虚空战衣（穿上此战衣的机械师，哪怕在没有任何宠兽辅助的情况下，也能在空间裂缝的乱流中活动一段时间，并利用战衣的空间能力撕开混乱空间，逃离生天。） 宇宙中，是空间裂缝，空间乱流最严重的区域，探索宇宙过程，要面临极大凶险，目前这项虚空战衣的价值，被究极空间评价为最高。
观众们也从第一视角，看到石宇航冒着生命危险，穿着虚空战衣撕开空间，在空间乱流中像鱼儿一样游动然后回归的全过程。
第二名：国防机械大学，艾坦，研究发明：水晶能量防护装置（只需要第六量级水能，就可以防护第七量级标准的能量攻击。） 这个装置，也相当不俗，相当于一个 60级水系宠兽，防御下了任意70级宠兽的攻击，可想而知，一些背靠海洋的城市，可能会把此项技术用于擂台防护，沿海防守上。
第三名……
“这尼玛都是大学生的发明？？？”
此刻，蓝星上的一个个试炼者，也都已经出来了，他们就算成功了，排名也毫无疑问都是几百名、几千名开外，连突破任务标准的“前100”都到不了。
他们出来后，看到排名靠前的一个个发明，脑瓜子嗡嗡疼，只感叹不愧是人类最强时代。
历年的发明大赛研究成果他们也调查过，一样逆天，一想到星月共和国的科技水平每年都在以一种极高速度上升着，他们对于这个时代的机械师能硬撼传说的说法，就不奇怪了。
其实对于星月共和国本土机械师来说，无论是石宇航也好，艾坦也好，他们能有这样的研究成果，其实也很正常。
因为他们本身就是传奇机械师之子，甚至史诗机械师后代，不仅有传奇老师教导，更可能有霸主研究智能辅助，有着一年时间准备，创造不出来稀有发明才奇怪。
可以说，往前推几年，排名前几的，也都是一批人。
甚至早在开赛之前，专家评审团，就大概估计出来了前十是哪批人。
不过今年，倒也不是没有一点意外。
第六名：星月科技大学，我是白露小姐的狗，研究发明：灵魂按摩舱！
虽然感觉这个同学名字有点奇怪，但是各大高校的领导，还是头一回听说这个学生，可以算是超级黑马了。
“这个‘我是白露小姐的狗’是谁？”
“通过按摩灵魂，提升学习效率的装置，竟然涉及到了灵魂领域吗，这个学生大才啊，不过怎么才第六名。”
“可能是提升效率幅度不大，最多堪比稀有资源，不过也难能可贵了。”
“查到了，是星月科技大学雷欧传奇新收的学生……”
各方都因为这个人而惊讶，只有星月科技大学这边笑的合不拢嘴，自家学校又出现一个天才，这肯定是大大的好事。
而星月共和国本土NPC没察觉，但是同为试炼者的几人出来后，看到这离谱的名字，就知道对方肯定也是无限城试炼者。
“艹，第六名，开挂了吧。”
“白露，那不是星月联邦的明星御兽师吗，这人是白露粉丝啊。”
“怎么这家伙也拜了传奇师父。”有试炼者看到评论后，震惊开口。
"By the way, where is Passerby A?"
"Wait a minute, I didn't see Passerby A in the first 10, no, the first 100. Where is he? I wonder if he has had an accident this time."
At this time, Mark, the real person of the Infinite City ID "I am Miss Bailu's Dog", also withdrew from the ultimate space. When he saw his ranking, he also looked proud.
However, before he could finish boasting, the trial participants who were about to manually search for Passerby A's name to see Lu Ran's ranking status were suddenly stunned.
Because suddenly, the name of Passerby A appeared in the top ten.
Saves them the trouble of searching.
[Capital University of Mechanical Engineering, Passerby A, Research and Invention: Advanced Overlord Element Life Free Mechanical Evolution Item; Current Ranking: 7th. Display Status: Unfinished.]
This ranking popped up suddenly, surprising the personnel from major universities, led by Capital University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, as well as the live broadcast audience and the trial participants.
“Who is Passerby A???”
"High-level Overlord Elemental Life Free Mechanical Evolution Item? What the hell?"
"What's going on? Why is the display status still not completed?"
"A passerby... I remember now. Isn't he the one who defeated Ji Xie from the Capital University of Mechanical Engineering some time ago and was suspected to be accepted as a student by the legendary mechanic Dr. Chengkong?"
“Oh my gosh!” Lu Ran suddenly jumped to seventh place, which scared Mark, who had stolen the research results of the Death Gun.
"It's okay, it's okay, I was scared to death."
"Hahaha, that was a close call, but it seems that I still beat this passerby. This time when I return, I will definitely make the federal headlines!"
"Maybe I can attract the attention of Goddess Bai Lu!"
However, when Mark from Xingyue University saw the display status: unfinished, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
He quickly entered Lu Ran's live broadcast room.
Except him.
The school leaders of Capital University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering were also confused.
Advanced Overlord Elemental Life Free Mechanical Evolution Item?
Principal Fu muttered, "Free Mechanical Evolution Item? Could it be that Dr. Chengkong has been guiding him remotely?"
"But what about the Overlord Elemental Life?"
The staff of the university also entered the live broadcast room.
This also includes Ji Xie, who had just come out and had a somewhat surprised expression on his face.
At the moment, most people were attracted by the eight words "Advanced Overlord Elemental Life" and couldn't help but enter Lu Ran's live broadcast room, even including the top ten legendary mechanics on the jury.
Even if a high-level dominant machine appeared in the mechanical invention competition, they would not be curious.
However, the appearance of high-level overlord-level elemental life really made them unable to resist their curiosity.
When they enter the live broadcast room, they watch it again from the beginning.
Just see.
Lu Ran stood on the experimental site and smiled at the Ultimate Eye in the sky.
"Hello everyone, I am Passerby A from Capital University of Mechanical Engineering. Next, I will introduce an invention that can rewrite the pattern of the mechanical field. It is even an epoch-making invention!!!"
Wow! When Lu Ran finished speaking at the beginning and entered the live broadcast room, the audience who were watching the replay just felt that Lu Ran was too crazy.
Although no one knows what happened, Lu Ran only ranked seventh. Although this is already very impressive, it is still far from being epoch-making and rewriting the landscape of the mechanical field!
Next, Lu Ran quickly unfolded the summoning array.
The next moment.
A white cloud appeared on the experimental site.
[Life form]: Elemental life [Attributes]: Water, ice, thunder, wind [Racial level]: High-level overlord!
[Growth Level]: Level 50! The moment Rainbow Dash was summoned, the Ultimate Eye checked out her information and synchronized it to the audience.
The audience... undoubtedly had solemn expressions.
"It is indeed a high-level overlord-level elemental life!!!"
"In the era of the Elemental Gods, the era of the Beast Taming Empire, the era of the Sacred Tree... and now in the era of the Star-Moon Republic, elemental life has long been completely extinct, right?"
"No, it's not completely extinct. During archaeological activities, the country has excavated some sealed elemental life from ancient ruins of the Elemental Age."
"But even so, the number is very small. They haven't even been contracted by anyone, but are protected by the National Institute of Paleontology."
"Where did this student get the elemental life form from? He is a high-level dominant race!"
The native mechanics of the Star-Moon Republic didn't know, but the trial participants knew that this must have been what Lu Ran brought out from the breakthrough secret realm.
"Damn it, he's fooled me again." The trial participants didn't expect that Lu Ran didn't choose animal transformation, but instead took out the elemental life transformation of his contract. Such a rare species transformation can be said to be able to attract enough attention, just like a soul machine.
Playing back.
"This elemental life was actually obtained by my parents from an ancient ruin and then given to me."
"Throughout my training, I have become very curious about elemental life and the elemental era, and have always longed for that era."
"But at the same time, I also have a great interest in the Department of Mechanics."
"I once thought that since the mechanical system can be combined with animals and plants to evolve through armed forces, then is it possible for the mechanical system to evolve through armed forces with elemental life?"
"This is one of the inventions I will bring next, the evolution of elemental mechanical weapons!!!"
As he spoke, Lu Ran took out an ordinary-looking black pistol.
He threw the black pistol directly into the air, and the cloud-shaped elemental life immediately wrapped its whole body around the gun.
Then, a scene that made the audience hold their breath happened. The dazzling light of evolution directly enveloped them. Then, accompanied by a strong wave, the light disappeared, the mist dissipated, and in its place, a black pistol with white stripes floated in the air! At the same time.
The Ultimate Eye provided new data through observation.
[Life form]: Mechanical life [Attributes]: Mechanical (water, ice, thunder, wind)
[Racial level]: High-level overlord!
[Growth Level]: Level 50! The elemental life that people see, now combined with firearms, directly turns into mechanical life!
It actually... worked!
"But..." Lu Ran's voice appeared again: "However, because the race level of my elemental pet is too high and it is limited by mechanical materials, it has not been able to surpass the high-level overlord race and reach the quasi-legendary race. It's a pity."
Everyone was silent.
Fuck, you still want to breed a quasi-legendary pet? In a whole country, there aren't that many quasi-legendary mechanical pets! "Although the race level has not been upgraded, the combination of races has definitely brought a strong increase in its strength!"
"So this time, combined with evolution, it gained a new mechanical race talent!"
As he spoke, Lu Ran stepped forward, picked up the Calamity pistol, and pointed it forward.
The next moment.
The violent natural elements began to gather inside the gun.
"If you are watching the replay, you can speed up now."
"Through mechanical weapon evolution, my elemental pet has gained the elemental mechanical talent: element accumulation!"
"You can increase the power of your moves by charging them. The longer you charge them, the greater the destructive power of your moves!"
"Due to the limited time for demonstration, I will only show you part of the destructive power..."
Lu Ran held the Scourge pistol for several minutes. The audience's heartbeats accelerated, and they followed Lu Ran's instructions to speed up the playback. In a flash, it was 5 minutes later when Lu Ran finished charging and used the Scourge pistol to attack!!! A blizzard bullet with the maximum charge turned into a dazzling icy light and flew out! In an instant.
The entire ultimate space was filled with dazzling blue icy light.
Although they were just watching, for some unknown reason, the audience felt a bone-chilling chill.
And when the light dissipated, the environment of the ultimate space had completely changed.
The originally barren Ultimate Space was directly covered by ice fields and glaciers. The sky was full of blue ice clouds and cold ice crystals. The howling north wind blew, and the earth continued to freeze!!!
In front of the blizzard bullet, one iceberg after another reaching the sky sparkled in the sunlight, showing the endless charm of nature.
The ice field is like a huge mirror, reflecting the blue of the ice clouds, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
One strike directly changed the celestial phenomena and the landforms.
At the same time, people saw that the Ultimate Eye in the sky was even covered with a layer of frost.
At this moment, the data results of the Ultimate Eye also appeared.
"Area affected by ice and snow: 1024 square kilometers, energy level of the core frozen area: comparable to a serious attack from a level 60 high-level ice overlord..."
When this data came out, the audience gasped.
一只50级的高等元素霸主，通过机械进化，竟然可以发挥出堪比60级霸主的认真一击？ 怪不得排名这么高。
等下……似乎这……还不是极限？
要知道，刚才只是蓄力了5分钟。
如果是50分钟呢？？
观众们摇了摇头，觉得不至于，总该有个极限。
“参赛选手路人甲，发明成果是否展示完成？”
此刻，路然手持天灾手枪，站立于冰川之上，默默不语，面对究极空间的问话，路然拍了拍冻结的手，然后用炎灵融化了结冰，道：“还没。”
说着，一团云朵，就直接伴随一道光芒，从天灾手枪中钻了出来。
“我的研究成果，是自由机械武装进化，所以，即使元素生命和机械装备融合进化后，依然可以解除分离。”
“想必大家也看到了，元素生命作为从世界中诞生的第一批生灵，所能掌握的，是大自然最原始的破坏力，技能威力远超动物种族、植物种族。”
“而当它们和人类的智慧结晶科技相互结合，借助科技之力，更大限度帮助元素生命掌握自然之力后，那么它们不亚于行走的天灾！！！”
“共和国中，本就有一批通过调动自然能量所发挥出极限破坏力的科技，如果在这个基础上，它们和元素生命结合呢？”
“我想，到时候就算制造出足以灭杀神灵的科技，也不是不可能。”
路然的饼画的超级大，听得观众们一阵心神飞扬。
不过很快，众人突然意识到，路然的发明排名只有7，这项成果，并没有得到究极空间的完美认可。
“对了，元素时代早就已经结束，元素生命也已经灭绝，路人甲吹的再厉害，也根本没有多少厉害的元素生命可以进行研究。”
“每一项研究成果，都会伴随大量的失败，没有源源不断的元素生命成为实验品的情况下，这个发明方向的影响力，会受到严重限制。”
“这样来看，究极空间给出的第七名，还算合理，因为路人甲那只元素宠兽本身就挺厉害了，造成这样的破坏力，可能还跟它自身种族有关。”
“即使如此，也十分惊艳了，我还是第一次见到元素和机械的结合……”
观众们呼了口气，终于明白路然是怎么爬到第七的了。
“牛逼。”付校长等首都机械大学的领导，也深呼吸一口气，只感觉橙空博士和路人甲厉害，竟然这么短的时间内，就有了这样的研究成果。
尤其是路然，竟然还藏了一只元素生命契约兽，可把他们瞒的好惨。
“哈哈，前十名中，我们首都机械大学又多了一个。”首都机械大学的校领导们格外兴奋，毕竟这个排名，也关乎了每年国家的教育拨款。
“……不愧是他。”
同时，来自蓝星和星月联邦的试炼者，此刻也对路然服气了，不管怎么说，这么短的时间内，路然能有这样的发明，已经算是不错了。
“还好还好。”马克紧张的内心，也放了下来，看来由于泛用性的问题，路然排名不会太高了，和路然的元素天灾武器不同，他拷贝的死枪的发明，如今已经被星月联邦运用到各个领域，泛用性不是一个量级。
提升国家天才的学习效率带来的影响力，长远来看，肯定要比天灾武器价值更大……
“我赢了……”就在马克嘴角忍不住上扬，宣布自己的胜利时，突然，一道声音，让所有人愣住。
“参赛选手路人甲，发明成果是否展示完成？”究极空间再次发问。
“还没。”路然照旧道。
“元素机械进化，元素天灾武器，我说了，只是我其中一个发明，只是一个铺垫。”
“我知道，元素时代已经结束，元素生命已经灭绝，受世界环境影响，它们已经不再诞生。”
“所以，这样的发明成果，泛用性、实际影响力，注定不会很大。”
“但是，这一切，都是建立在没有大量元素生命可以投入到机械领域中，和机械领域结合试验的情况下……”
“可如果……”
“可如果，我可以重开元素时代，让无数元素生命，重新诞生在这个世界呢？”
路然深邃的黑瞳，注视着究极之瞳。
“到那时，对于机械领域的改变，说不定就不止一个天灾武器了。”
“而是……一条全新的赛道，一个划时代的新领域！”
观看直播的人数越来越多，这个时候，所有人突然失声，不明白路然在说什么胡话。
回放继续。
说着，路然就拿出一个机械天平一样的设备，摆放在了地上。
紧接着，在所有人茫然的目光下，路然激活机械天平，下一瞬，无数冰元素汇聚于天平一端，随后，天平另外一端，一只巴掌大小，呈冰晶六芒星形态的冰精灵缓缓形成。
冰精灵慢慢睁开眼睛。
“咛！！”它懵懂的叫了一声，然后甩了甩身子，甩出了漫天雪花。
小精灵活泼无比。
可爱万分。
全部观众瞳孔一缩。
“喏。”路然道：“这才是我要展现的真正发明，元素生命创造装置。”
“这个装置的原理，是通过吸收自然中对应的属性元素，然后将其赋予生命，转化为‘真正的元素生命’。”
“冰精灵，元素时代一种活跃于冰川雪地里的小生灵，擅长冰系技能……全身都是由坚硬的极冰组成！”
【种族形态】：元素生命 【属性】：冰
【种族等级】：低等超凡 【成长等级】：1级
此刻，究极空间也沉默的给出检验结果。
看到眼前浮现的数据，一个个观众，彻底瞪大了眼睛。
只感觉，这一幕比刚才路然召唤出高等霸主元素生命，比那个元素生命和机械武装进化还更离奇。
“除了冰，也可以制造风……”
“除了风，也可以制造光……”
接下来，路然不断操作机械天平，不一会儿，一只风元素精灵降世。
随后，又一只光元素精灵降世。
路然似乎还不满足于此，道：“我们在私下试验中，还制造了不少其他属性的元素精灵……”
说着，他打开遗迹空间，暗精灵、火精灵、水精灵、岩石精灵、草精灵各种各样可爱的元素小宝宝，排着队从遗迹空间钻出。
看着满地、满天蹦蹦跳跳、飞来飞去的元素精灵，无数传奇机械师都张大了嘴巴，何时见过如此多的元素生命。
“开什么玩笑……来真的？？？”一个个观众也傻眼了，这装置，认真的？
“这……”而蓝星、星月的试炼者们，也是一脸呆滞，有点不明白眼下是什么情况。
至于首都机械大学的领导们，此刻才是最懵的。
“如大家所见，只要是还存在的元素，就可以通过此装置创造出对应的元素生命，来，我让它们给大家排列组合个‘你们好’三个字。”路然话落，小元素们快速玩起队列。
“不过可惜，受限制于研究经费，目前我研发出来的机器，还只能创造低等超凡种族的元素生命，但是，它们和其他超凡生命一样，同样有着进化的潜力！”
“培育方向正确，进化为元素霸主也不是没有可能。”
“同时，它们肯定也是能和机械装置一起武装进化的，这里由于时间原因，就不给大家一一展示了，毕竟展示时间快要到了。”
“除此之外，我们也可以通过升级元素生命创造装置，试图制造种族等级更高的元素生命！”
“只要装置不断升级，我觉得，就算创造出‘元素神灵’，也未尝没有可能！”
“相比于动物神、植物神都是后天修炼而成的，首批元素神，是大自然中诞生的先天神灵，所以，说元素种族是最接近神的种族也不为过！”
“其实……我心目中的重开元素时代……还包括重现历史，制造出先天元素神灵！”
“好了，这回我是真的展示完成了。”路然笑呵呵看着究极之眼。
此刻，回放结束，众多观看直播的观众，也终于回过神来，思绪回到现实，当他们重新看到排行榜，这里已经完全变化。
首都机械大学，路人甲，研究发明：元素生命创造装置，展示状态：已完成！ 排名，第一！
随着路然登顶，前面所有人的排名，都被往下挤了一位。
无数人注视屏幕，看着那至高的名字，身体都快窒息。
“我特吗，是人吗？”
“离谱，这牲口哪冒出的，之前怎么没听说过！”
“这……我不理解，这次大赛怎么回事，这是我能看的吗？”
All kinds of vulgar words are prevalent among different groups.
Even the legendary mechanic had no idea how this machine was made.
This is god's method?
In the Capital University of Mechanical Engineering, in the Mechanical Secret Realm Teleportation Hall, the students who had already come out looked at Lu Ran, who was sitting in the teleportation cabin thinking about life, with eyes that were like those of a ghost.
“You, you you…” Ji Xie, who was defeated by Lu Ran’s lightsaber dog, felt extremely strange when looking at Lu Ran at this time.
Of course, the most shocked people at this moment were the trial-takers from Xingyue and Blue Star. They all began to doubt their lives at this moment.
Lu Ran, is he really the person who came in from outside with them? The invention of this bastard just now...if they are not wrong...at this moment, the entire Mechanical Age and the entire Xingyue Republic have fallen into a brief silence.
In the Mechanical Age...reopening the lost Elemental Age?
You know, opening up an era is something that only legendary creatures can do.
The sacred tree wanted to start the plant age, but it only succeeded when it reached the main god level!
And Lu Ran...actually, with just a tiny machine, he recreated the extinct elemental creatures...
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!" Mark, who had plagiarized Death Gun's research results and thought he was foolproof, went crazy after seeing the ranking of Passerby A.
Boom boom boom!!! In a flash, the outside of Capital University of Mechanical Engineering became lively, and the leaders of the school also rushed over here in their mechas as if they were going crazy.
"Where is Passerby A!!!"
Island of Gods.
The Institute of Divine Spirits.
This is the research center of the Star-Moon Republic.
The first-hand news of a college student invention competition would not be exaggerated to spread here. These people are the top mechanical researchers in the Star-Moon Republic. At most, they would pay attention to the results of the invention competition in their free time.
But this time, it's different.
Lin En, the mechanical assistant of the eighth-level mechanic who was stationed on the Island of Gods and the director of the Divine Research Institute, was shocked when he heard the news: "Master, something big has happened."
"At the College Student Invention Competition, a student came up with something extremely outrageous!!"
“How reckless.” Elder Lin En glanced at the mechanical assistant and said, “A college student invention competition can…”
The mechanical assistant interrupted him and said, "That student has developed an elemental life creation device! His device has already created dozens of elemental life forms!!!"
"You have to know that since the extinction of the Elemental Age, no elemental life has been born for hundreds of millions of years!"
"Elemental life!!"
"According to legend, after the elemental gods were sealed by the four great creation dragons, elemental life could no longer be born, and the rules of the world could no longer accommodate elemental life..."
"This student's invention actually broke a rule that has been in place for hundreds of millions of years... Director, this person is a pervert!"
The director of the Divine Research Institute stood up suddenly and looked at his mechanical assistant. "What did you say? Say it again?"
"Elemental Life Creation Device? No, how is this kind of device made?"
"I don't know, but that's it... That college student seems to be a student of 'Dr. Orange Sky' in our institute. Otherwise, why don't we ask Dr. Orange Sky? She must know what's going on!"
The Institute of Divine Spirits.
It was also boiling at this moment.
If it were a simple invention, it would naturally not attract their attention.
However, the explosive news of the reopening of the Elemental Age was quickly captured by their mechanical assistants, who informed their mechanics.
"What's going on?" Dr. Chengkong had just come out of the laboratory and found that a lot of people had gathered outside his laboratory.
"Dr. Orange Sky, Dr. Orange Sky!!!"
"Awesome, your student is really awesome, is he secretly guided by you?"
"student???"
"Capital University of Mechanical Engineering, that guy called Passerby A, is he your student? He won first place in the College Student Invention Competition, and the device he invented is a machine that can create elemental life!!! This guy has created dozens of elemental life forms. He is simply going to reopen the elemental age!"
"ah???"
"Hurry up and contact the director. Make sure to bring your apprentice to our institute. I think elemental life that breaks the rules is an important track for our research on artificial gods!!"
Dr. Chengkong was confused: "???"
I feel like I'm still dreaming.
What the hell!!! Her brain went into a complete standstill.
A stranger? The guy he had thrown into the research institute and told to teach himself about mechanics? What on earth... happened! …………
At this moment, with the six words "reopening the elemental age", Lu Ran had undoubtedly completed an invention that even the epic mechanics were astonished. The entire Star-Moon Republic was shaken by this invention competition.
Major universities, consortiums and even government agencies are trying their best to contact Lu Ran.
Obviously, everyone knows how much potential this young man has.
At this moment, Lu Ran has been helplessly protected and hidden by the leadership of Capital University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
Lu Ran didn’t know whether the invention competition was still going on. He was waiting for the final reward for the breakthrough mission.
Finally, after a long wait.
It seems that the invention competition is still going on, and he won first place as expected.
【Congratulations on completing the breakthrough mission. 】
