140: Federal Research Agency

The judges listened to Shen Guyan's explanation and one after another revealed satisfied smiles.

Just as the judges were preparing to make their final scores, a commotion suddenly broke out on one side of the competition arena.

Several people wearing strange attire were seen walking quickly towards Shen Guyan's display booth in excitement.

At the lead was a white-haired but energetic old man, his eyes flashing with excitement as he said loudly: "Everyone, I am Kong Zhiming, and we are researchers from the Sun Moon Federation. The design concept just demonstrated by contestant Gongzi Yu is simply too shocking! This is not just an ordinary mecha design; this is the prototype of a future unmanned mecha design concept!"

Once these words were spoken, the entire venue was instantly in an uproar.

The audience whispered and discussed among themselves, all feeling shocked by Kong Zhiming's words.

The Federation has always been in a leading position in the field of mecha research, and their recognition was undoubtedly the highest praise for Shen Guyan's design.

The old man continued: "This design idea, which uses Mental Energy to control and possesses the dual functions of both battle armor and mecha, points out a new direction for our future development of unmanned mecha. We, the Sun Moon Federation, are willing to grant contestant Shen Guyan a patent for this design, and we hope to engage in in-depth cooperation with contestant Shen Guyan to jointly promote the development of this technology."

Shen Guyan was a little surprised, but he soon calmed down.

He knew well that this was a rare opportunity, which could not only allow his design to be more widely applied and developed but also allow him to improve himself with the help of the Sun Moon Federation's resources.

"Thank you very much for the Federation's recognition and favor," Shen Guyan said to Kong Zhiming, "I am very willing to cooperate with the Sun Moon Federation and explore the infinite possibilities of this technology together."

Warm applause immediately sounded at the scene, and everyone expressed their admiration for Gongzi Yu's skill and talent.

The judges also completed their scoring at this time, and Shen Guyan, relying on his ingenious design, stood out in the Mecha Designer competition and once again received a full score of one hundred and fifty points.

After the competition ended, Shen Guyan was taken by Federal scientific researchers to the New Mecha R&D Institute in Shrek City.

With the end of the Mecha Designer competition, except for the most time-consuming forging, the competitions for Mecha Maker and Mecha Repairman also came to an end one after another...

Until that evening, the fourth stage of the Youth Genius Competition officially ended, and when everyone looked at the striking scores on the ranking, one after another, they almost dropped their jaws in shock.

Gongzi Yu, five hundred and fifty points, full marks so far!

Even the two Spirit Emperors from Shrek and Tang Sect only had around five hundred points, and were even slightly lagging behind the likes of Zhou Hanyou, Zhou Tianer, and Xian Lin from Sea and Land Academy.

After Shen Guyan emerged in the Youth Genius Competition due to his excellent mecha design and the Sun Moon Federation threw out an olive branch of cooperation, the news spread like a storm throughout the entire competition arena.

Upon learning of Shen Guyan's high score and the excellent results of the other students, Zhang Zhenpeng was grinning from ear to ear.

According to the current scores, even if the other students performed poorly in the final fifth stage, several of them could still successfully make it onto the youth genius ranking.

At this moment, Zhang Zhenpeng's heart was full of gratification and pride.

His originally serious face was now beaming with a bright smile, his eyes squinted into two crescent moons, and he kept muttering to himself: "Good, good, our Sea and Land Academy has finally held its head high this time!"

The higher-ups from other academies gathered around one after another to express their congratulations to Zhang Zhenpeng.

"Dean Zhang, these children being able to achieve such results is surely inseparable from your careful teaching and cultivation!" A Senior mentor said with a smile.

Zhang Zhenpeng feigned humility and waved his hand, "This is all the result of the children's own hard work. That kid, Gongzi Yu, has never known how to keep a low profile; he really made a fool of himself today!"

Looking at the way Zhang Zhenpeng's mouth was almost splitting to his cheeks, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of disdain in their hearts, yet they had to envy this old guy, not knowing where he managed to get such an excellent student.

At this time, Zhou Hanyou, Zhou Tianer, Wang Dongqi, Xian Lin, and others received their scores for the fourth stage one after another and returned to the viewing area of Sea and Land Academy.

"Zhuo... where is that kid, Gongzi Yu?" Zhang Zhenpeng was excited for a moment and almost let slip the pseudonym Shen Guyan used in the academy.

Song Yuner's Sub-profession was also Mecha Designer, so she naturally knew the aftermath of that match and said somewhat uncertainly: "Seems like he left with the people from the Federal Science Research Bureau?"

The smile on Zhang Zhenpeng's face became even richer; just by relying on one competition, he could attract the attention of the Federal Science Research Bureau... The future teaching staff of Sea and Land Academy would likely receive strong support from the Federation, and its status among the major institutions of the Federation would rise accordingly.

...

The moment Shen Guyan stepped into the Sun Moon Federation Science Research Bureau, he was instantly shocked by the scene before his eyes.

Under the huge dome, various advanced spirit tool devices were arranged in an orderly manner, and the flashing lights and buzzing energy fluctuations highlighted the thick scientific research atmosphere here.

Research personnel in uniform white uniforms hurried back and forth, each focused on the work in their hands.

The white-haired old man, Kong Zhiming, was already waiting at the entrance, and upon seeing Shen Guyan, he immediately welcomed him warmly.

"Gongzi Yu, welcome to the Sun Moon Federation Science Research Bureau. Here gather our Federation's top scientific research power, and I believe your design will bloom with unprecedented brilliance here."

Shen Guyan nodded slightly, responding neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Thank you for the invitation, Senior, I also look forward to exploring more possibilities of this technology together with all the research elites."

Seeing his calm demeanor, Kong Zhiming's evaluation of him rose another level in his heart.

"Follow me." The old man led Shen Guyan into a spacious laboratory.

The walls of the room were covered with design drawings of various mechas and spirit tools, and a huge conference table was placed in the center, surrounded by core members of the Science Research Bureau.

Seeing Shen Guyan enter, the gazes of the people here were mostly curious, doubtful, or even carried a trace of contempt.

No matter how one looked at it, this kid seemed to be only about ten years old.

Such a young child, even if he were a Prodigy, having a level 2 Sub-profession would be good enough.

A mere level 2 Mecha Designer, is it necessary to show off in front of the many industry bigwigs sitting here?

A child's imagination may be unconstrained, but research is something that must combine actual conditions and reality; it is not something one can do whatever one wants with.

"I have already explained the specific situation to everyone, now, you can demonstrate this technology." Kong Zhiming sat at the head and stretched out a hand to signal Shen Guyan to start his performance.
