While playing a match-3 game, Ruan Chen was distracted by listening to Ruan Yunhan's design.
Just as she had calculated, even though Lin Fengzi provided her with some data, it was still impossible to fundamentally solve the problem that the Akubier engine would eventually explode due to uneven heat.
It simply extended the original five-second stability time to fifteen seconds.
Ruan Yunhan's group's design has been popular for the past three years. Many groups have made innovative designs for the Akuzer engine in this competition, but so far, only Ruan Yunhan's group has presented a design that has reached the final stage.
When the final design was running smoothly on the organizing committee's simulation software, thunderous applause erupted from the audience!
Even the judges in the audience stood up and applauded to congratulate them.
According to the procedure, the ranking is based on a comprehensive evaluation of the contestants' demeanor, the logic of their speeches, the presentation of the results, and the cooperation of all members. However, for Ruan Yunhan's group, their success in reaching the final stage basically means they can be declared the gold medal winners.
Ruan Chen put down his phone, leaned back in his chair, and watched Ruan Yunhan's performance with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
Sure enough, after the stable state lasted for ten seconds, Ruan Yunhan seemingly casually terminated the simulation software and bowed to the audience with a smile.
Dazzling and sparkling.
The team members on stage hugged and high-fived excitedly. Ruan Yunhan whispered to them, "You can go down first. I have a few more words to say."
She was the only one left on the stage.
Ruan Yunhan pulled out the microphone, walked to the front of the stage, and was extremely elegant. "I am very happy to be able to show everyone our hard work and results over this period of time on this stage, and I am also very grateful to the organizing committee for giving me this opportunity."
"However, this competition was not smooth sailing for me, especially the research on the Acubieri engine. As we all know, it is very difficult and involves a huge amount of computation. Many people would give up because of the difficulty, and some people would have some crooked ideas. In fact, when I finished the first stage of research, I found that my research results had been plagiarized, and the plagiarist also came to the final stage."
As expected, the audience and other contestants below the stage became indignant.
"Plagiarism gets you into the finals? I've never seen anything like it."
"Which group is it? I didn't see a similar design just now."
"They probably haven't gone on stage yet, but we're all smart enough to see through them. Once that shameless group comes up, we'll definitely be able to tell."
One of the judges immediately picked up the microphone and interrupted her, "Ruan Yunhan, the presentation segment is over. You may leave the stage now. All group competitions are finished, and the organizing committee will announce the results. As for the plagiarism issue you mentioned, it has been assigned to a specific person to handle it. Please do not disrupt the final competition."
Ruan Yunhan was given a mild reprimand, but surprisingly, she showed no embarrassment. Instead, she smiled, bowed, and stepped off the stage, saying only, "I believe that the judges will give me a fair outcome."
Lin Fengzi and the others in the audience were speechless.
Much later, Mu Xiangrong sighed softly, "She acts so convincingly, if she were to debut, what chance would Best Actor Tao Ran have?"
Ruan Chenliang said coolly, "She can't keep up with Tao Ran's acting."
Song Cheng clutched his chest, looking like he couldn't breathe. "Ruan Chen, hurry up and give them a decisive blow. Today I've truly witnessed what it means to be shameless and invincible. What on earth did she come up with such a disgusting trick? Plagiarism, data destruction, and then the villain accusing her first—it's insidious, ruthless, and disgusting."
The host on stage was already calling out Lin Fengzi's group's name. Bai Jiaojiao pitifully grabbed Mu Xiangrong's sleeve and said in a soft voice, "Xiao Mu, I'm nervous."
"It's okay, just stand next to me and do the same thing we practiced before."
Ruan Chen stood by the workbench, inserted the USB drive, and didn't look at the manuscript—she didn't even bring the thick stack of papers onto the stage.
She simply held the microphone, propped one hand on the control panel, and slightly tilted her head to look at the large screen and Lin Fengzi's operations. Her voice was calm and powerful, and her logic was clear as she followed the rhythm of the operations.
Soon, someone in the audience noticed.
"Did I travel through time? Which group just talked about this?"
“It’s exactly the same. Look, this is the basic model I just photographed from the previous set. It’s practically a replica.”
"Plagiarism, right? Their research focuses on the Acubieri engine. Didn't that group from the First Affiliated Hospital just say they were plagiarized?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's definitely plagiarism! And they even performed on stage one after the other?"
"It's normal for people to go on stage in the same direction, but this group is so shameless! They actually copied it verbatim?!"
A murmur arose from the audience, and some people even approached Ruan Yunhan's group, asking ingratiatingly, "Yunhan, is this the group that plagiarized you?"
Ruan Yunhan simply shook her head helplessly, her smile tinged with sadness, and did not answer directly, "The organizing committee said they will give me a fair result, so please stop speculating."
But the commotion from the audience grew louder and louder. Someone shouted first, "Plagiarist, get off the stage!"
Ruan Yunhan raised her hand to drink water, covering the smile on her lips.
She arranged the people; she wanted to see how Ruan Chen would step down.
This sparked a huge uproar, with shouts of "Plagiarism! Plagiarism! Step down! Step down!"
The sound was so loud that it even drowned out Ruan Chen's calm speech.
Ruan Chen raised his hand and pressed it down beside him, signaling Lin Fengzi and the others to pause.
The organizing committee members who were maintaining order went on stage and tried to take the microphone from Ruan Chen to signal the audience to be quiet, but Ruan Chen said softly, "I'll do it."
Her expression remained calm, and her voice left no room for doubt.
Ruan Chen walked to the control panel, turned the volume up to the maximum, and coldly tapped the microphone.
A tremendous sound came from the speakers all around, and the noisy venue fell silent for a moment.
Then came Ruan Chen's cold, piercing voice, devoid of any emotion, as she calmly asked, "If I were the one to go on stage first today, and the one to point out that someone plagiarized, would you still think I'm the plagiarist?"
Dead silence.
The judges below the stage whispered among themselves, glancing at Ruan Chen and then at the "evidence" that Ruan Yunhan had just submitted.
Ruan Chen didn't even use a script when she went on stage; every design detail seemed to be etched in her mind and came out effortlessly, which they could naturally see.
Ruan Chen raised her index finger to bring the volume back to normal and scanned the audience. "Please be patient and watch our group's design. As for your questions, I will give an answer to all participants, including the judges, after the competition."
