The China Robotics Competition serves as a platform for major national defense universities to showcase their scientific research capabilities.
On the surface, everyone appeared calm, but in reality, no one wanted to reveal too much about themselves.
Whoever wins the championship will have the opportunity to collaborate with the country's top military research institute.
Not only can technology be shared, but there is also a large amount of research funding.
"The match pairings have been announced. The opening match will be between Northwestern Polytechnical University and Lanxiang Vocational School!"
Upon seeing the words "Lanxiang Vocational School," Principal Yan simply couldn't control his emotions.
An old man, nearly seventy years old, was laughing so hard his mouth was crooked.
"Look how happy Old Yan is, now he's guaranteed a spot in the top 4."
"Northwestern Polytechnical University was in the top 4 last year, right? If you were in their shoes, wouldn't you be happy? They've already surpassed last year's results before the competition even started."
"Waiting for a promotion."
"I heard that Northwestern Polytechnical University has been preparing for this research and development for three years, so it's no wonder that Lanxiang Vocational School was eliminated!"
The remaining match schedules have also been released.
The battle will officially begin in one month.
Making it to the knockout stage means at least a top-eight finish.
Let alone a vocational school, even a top-tier polytechnic university would consider it a tremendous honor.
It's important to know that the remaining seven universities will be using robots developed in collaboration with military laboratories.
The probability of winning is almost zero; it's more about participating than winning.
Back at school
The entrance was already packed with reporters, including last year's regional champions from Dalian University of Technology.
Even though they failed to make it to the knockout stage, it was still a huge honor for the entire Shandong province.
"Hello Principal Su, is there anything you would like to say to the people of Lanxiang Vocational School after they made it to the knockout stage?"
"The next competitor is Northwestern Polytechnical University. Does Lanxiang Vocational School have a countermeasure?"
"Principal Su! Are you confident you can beat us for first place?!???? (voice cracks)"
Upon seeing so many reporters, Uncle Liu got out of the car and stood protectively in front of Su Lin, then notified the security captain of the technical school.
They led the group and opened a pedestrian passage.
"Principal Su, please say a few words. We've been waiting for you all day!"
Ignoring the security personnel's attempts to stop them, the reporters swarmed towards Su Lin.
Su Lin suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Principal Su, let's go back to the office first. You know these media outlets are all taking things out of context."
I'm afraid there might be inaccurate reports!
Uncle Liu is quite experienced in dealing with the media.
Previously, when faculty and staff protested over unpaid wages, reporters from major media outlets surrounded the gate of Lanxiang Vocational School.
They were hanging banners and calling the principal a "dog."
Now that Lanxiang Vocational School has achieved good results, their attitude has completely changed. They're now calling Principal Su "our pride."
Actually, the faces haven't changed; it's still the same reporters.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to say something!"
Seeing that Su Lin was determined, Uncle Liu didn't want to stop her and waved for the reporters to be quiet.
Let Principal Su give a speech.
"A competition is meaningless if you don't win the championship!"
After speaking, Su Lin returned to the principal's office under the protection of security personnel.
Soon after, newspapers in major regions published Su Lin's impassioned speech at the gate of Lanxiang Vocational School.
"The principal of Lanxiang Vocational School vowed to win the championship. Who gave him the courage? Fish Leong?"
"Is the principal getting arrogant, or is Lanxiang Vocational School getting arrogant? The China Robotics Competition may be facing its biggest embarrassment yet!"
"With Liying, an alumna of her alma mater, in front, and Sulin, a prodigy from the vocational school, Sulin has made a vow to crush his opponent in one fell swoop!"
Uncle Liu looked at today's newspaper, his head spinning, and went to Su Lin's office.
"Principal Su, I told you, these reporters just write nonsense."
Look at all this nonsense in these headlines!
Su Lin found the term "technical school god" rather amusing.
"No problem, we're going to win the championship!"
"Principal Su, the other side consists of the Seven Sons of National Defense, possessing the most advanced weapons technology in our country."
Which one wasn't made by them?
Su Lin understood this, of course, but the technology in the system was all from 2023.
Even if the seven national defense enterprises possess the most cutting-edge technologies in their respective fields,
That was technology from the 1990s; it's child's play compared to technology in 2023.
"Uncle Liu, you just need to take care of the operation of the primary school. Leave the rest to Dean Qian and Dean Peng."
"Okay! By the way, what about our enrollment plan? The model apartments on the back hill are already full."
As the competition progressed, the results became the best advertisement for Lanxiang Vocational School, and they were unable to recruit enough students.
"Recruit! Continue to expand recruitment and infrastructure!"
Currently, Lanxiang Vocational School has fewer than three thousand students per graduating class.
Let alone comprehensive universities, even a science and technology university can have tens of thousands of graduates in a single year.
To grow bigger and stronger, you have to start by doing more.
"receive!"
Moreover, Lanxiang's only source of income is currently the students' tuition fees.
......
After watching the match, Major General He Zefeng hurriedly drove back to the Fifth Research Institute of the Army.
"Dean Miao, guess what? Lanxiang Vocational School has been upgraded!!!"
Major General He leaned back on the sofa. He himself had discovered Lanxiang Vocational School.
If the power system of the Type 90 tank can really be solved,
Then I have done a great service this time.
"So what if you advance? Military technology research isn't child's play."
"If you don't win the championship, you can't participate in the bidding!"
