A question from Lin Tao, plus a promise of a scholarship of 100 million star coins.

Before the get out of class was over, the news had spread throughout the entire Materials Department, and even some people from other departments secretly got the news.

One hundred million star coins, not to mention the instructors and department heads, even some people from the eight major wealthy families would be jealous.

After all, there are good and bad children among the rich families. People like Liu Zhengchen get a lot of pocket money every month, so they don't care much about it, but people like Liu Zhengqi definitely want to get this money.

Not long after, the question paper also appeared in the hands of Lu Xuewen, the head of the Materials Department. The old man blew his beard and glared angrily: "Humph! A scholarship of 100 million star coins, I really can't believe that this kid is so rich."

However, when he saw the question, his eyes narrowed again and his expression became somewhat gloomy and uncertain.

Next to him was the tutor who came to offer a question. After seeing the gloomy face of the department head, he hurriedly said, "Dean, I never thought that Lin Tao would dare to be so arrogant in our Materials Department. He even said that one question costs 100 million yuan. He doesn't take our genius in the Materials Department seriously."

"Hmm." Department Head Lu Xuewen snorted coldly.

"Dean, why don't we just solve this problem and take the 100 million and use it as a scholarship to train students in the department. On the one hand, it can also help enhance the reputation of our Department of Materials. On the other hand, with this scholarship, we can also vigorously train many students who are sincere in their studies."

"Oh?" Department Head Lu Xuewen's eyes lit up and he turned around abruptly: "Do you know how to solve this problem?"

"I..." The instructor was dumbfounded. Although he said 'we', in his heart, the person who would ultimately solve the problem should be the department head in front of him.

If you don't have any ability, how can you sit in the position of department head?

Moreover, if he really knew how to solve this problem, why would he give it to the department head? He could just solve it himself and then take the 100 million star coins. He wouldn't have to be a mentor anymore and endure the bullying of those wealthy students.

Seeing his expression, Department Head Lu Xuewen snorted, "This question isn't that difficult to solve, but if I solve it myself and it gets out, I'll definitely be laughed at. Besides, 100 million star coins isn't a lot. Which student who can enter the Jingyi Mecha Academy doesn't have resources sponsored by a large mecha company?"

After a pause, he reached out and touched his white beard. As if after pondering for a while, he revealed a serious tone: "Since Lin Tao is willing to provide a scholarship of 100 million star coins, then we will see which of these students are talented students who can be trained vigorously by our Materials Department. In addition, I also want to see how much attention those mecha companies outside pay to materials."

"Uh~" The tutor was startled. He didn't expect the dean to be so generous and give out 100 million star coins directly. But since the dean had already asked, he had no choice. However, when he thought of the 100 million promised by Lin Tao in public, his heart warmed up. He quickly asked indirectly with a flattering smile: "Dean, if you really want to solve this problem, what solution should we adopt?"

"Huh? Are you also eyeing this 100 million?" Department Head Lu Xuewen glared, his beard twitched a few times, and roared loudly.

"No, no." The instructor was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly. How could he admit it? He quickly laughed awkwardly and said, "Dean, if a student comes to ask about this, I can give him some advice."

"Humph!" Department Head Lu Xuewen scolded, "Do you really think that Lin Tao's money is so easy to come by? Besides, we only value students with real talent. If someone can really solve the problem with his own ability, he can be considered the top student in our Materials Department. We should not meddle in this matter."

"Yes, yes, what the department head said is right." The tutor nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and left the department head's office with a helpless look on his face.

After he left, Lu Xuewen looked at the question again and muttered, "Where on earth did Lin Tao get this question? One hundred million. If I can solve it, can't I solve it quietly?"

After saying this, he felt contempt for the instructor in his heart. The instructor looked down on the 100 million, but he did. The Department of Materials was not as easy to make money as the pure Mecha Department. What's more, even among the resources allocated to various departments, the Department of Materials had the least.

Damn it! Lu Xuewen cursed as he looked in the direction of the dean’s office.

The dean, who was making tea in his office, suddenly snorted. He rubbed his nose and looked suspiciously at the bright sunshine outside the window: "How can there be signs of a cold in such good weather? No, I have to take a pill first."

Walk out of class.

Lin Tao took the elevator directly and left the Materials Department in a blink of an eye.

He is still a long way from one hundred million star coins, but if there is really someone who can solve the problem, Lin Tao will not be stingy with the one hundred million.

Because this question is mainly used to decompose a mineral material called star stone.

According to the information in Lin Tao's mind, it would take at least another fifty years for this kind of Chenxing Stone ore to be discovered in the starry sky, and another fifty years before someone would be able to decompose the Chenxing Stone based on this problem.

In other words, the question raised by Lin Tao was at least a hundred years ahead of its time.

Of course, if someone can use the current knowledge to solve this problem, let alone one hundred million, even if it is one billion, Lin Tao will find a way to get it, and do everything he can to keep the person who solves the problem under his control.

Lin Tao asked this question mainly to see how many so-called geniuses in the Department of Materials Science were worthy of his attention.

After leaving the Materials Department, it was still class time, the college was very quiet and there were few people walking around.

After looking at the patrol mecha flying low in the sky, and then looking at the tall teaching buildings around him, Lin Tao thought for a while, then walked towards the Engine Design Department.

After seeing the scene at the school gate, Du Ruiming, the brother and sister of the Du family, is still okay. After all, the Mecha Maintenance Department where he is located has the prestige of Master Gu Lei, and the department head is not a petty person. It is estimated that no one in the Mecha Maintenance Department will make things difficult for him. As for Du Ruizhi, it is hard to say.

"At the school gate, the director of the engine design department seemed to be at odds with Master Gu Lei, and Du Ruizhi had been admitted to this department before, but was ultimately rejected by Li Huai's sister."

Lin Tao walked with his chin in his hand, "Well, Li Huai's sister, her name seems to be Li Shuang."

"I wonder what kind of person Li Shuang is. Will he make things difficult for Du Ruizhi?" Lin Tao thought all the way and arrived at the Engine Design Department.

The teaching building of the Engine Design Department is as high as that of the Materials Department, but the classes are not as many as those of the Materials Department, because one floor of the Engine Design Department is two or three floors high than that of an ordinary building.

"Will every class have a real engine so that students can conduct research in class?"

Lin Tao looked at the building, which had nearly ten floors per floor, and felt confused.

"Oh no! Which class was Du Ruizhi assigned to?" Suddenly, Lin Tao slapped his forehead. It seemed that he had not yet found out which class Du Ruizhi was assigned to.

"Well, her grades are probably not that good, and I also offended the department head and others at the school gate. Will she be assigned to a lower class directly like I was in the Materials Department?"

If the results are excellent, even if he has connections, he will probably be forced to stay. Since Du Ruizhi was eliminated, his results must not be that good.

As Lin Tao was thinking this, he took a step forward.

There were several elevators in use, moving to the upper floors without any one coming down.

Lin Tao curled his lips, didn't wait any longer, and walked towards the stairs on the side.

There are not many classes in the Engine Design Department, only thirty, and the lowest class is Class 30.

Lin Tao arrived at the classroom door and took a quick look.

"Huh?" The situation in the classroom was different from what Lin Tao had imagined. In the class of the Engine Design Department, there were nearly fifty huge cabins similar to mecha simulation cabins neatly arranged.

These cabins are approximately two meters square and about three meters high. There are also many wires above the cabins, which seem to connect all the cabins together to form an internal local area network.

The students seemed to be arranged to attend classes in the cabin, with only a bespectacled instructor walking back and forth outside.

After seeing this scene, Lin Tao finally understood why the classroom of the Engine Design Department was different from ordinary classrooms. It seemed that the classroom of the Mecha Engineer Department should not be much different from the classroom here. After all, the students of the Mecha Engineer Department had to connect to Skynet and participate in Skynet battles.

Lin Tao just showed up at the door and was spotted by the bespectacled mentor on the spot.

The instructor frowned, then walked out quickly, and yelled, "You dare to be absent from the monthly exam, do you want to be expelled from the First Mecha Academy?"

"You've been assigned to the lowest class. If you don't work hard, can you be worthy of your family? Can you deserve the result of being admitted to the First Mecha Academy?" The instructor scolded earnestly while pushing Lin Tao into the classroom without saying a word. He pushed him all the way to a cabin and stopped.

The instructor raised his hand to open the cabin door, and without waiting for Lin Tao to speak, he pushed him into the cabin.

"This..." Lin Tao was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Is this instructor blind? He can't even tell whether he is a student of the Engine Design Department or not.

Beep!

As the cabin door closed, the computer inside turned on with a beep.

Outside the cabin, the instructor was still telling Lin Tao that time was running out and asked him to finish the questions quickly. Lin Tao raised his hand and rubbed his temple helplessly.

"Is this a big test in the question bank?"

No wonder there are so many cabins, it turns out they are all prepared for the test bank.

Lin Tao remembered that there were similar teaching methods in later generations. This was a teaching method to select outstanding students. Once a student performed well in the question bank exam, he would be vigorously cultivated by the entire department. However, the question bank exam in later generations did not seem to be as important as it is in this era.

Moreover, as far as Lin Tao remembered, the cabin used for the question bank exam would be forcibly closed after entering, and one could not exit unless the questions were completed or the time was up, then it would be opened again.

"It seems that I can't get out without doing the questions." Lin Tao was quite helpless.
