45: Next, please welcome Team No. 2 from Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
The contestants from the Ace Pilot Program Group burst into laughter.
Actually, at first, when they received the temporary notification from the assistant director, everyone was apprehensive. The upcoming model aircraft exhibition wouldn't be judged by audience scores; instead, it would become an interactive competition with the neighboring university's rocket model contest, with the final outcome determining their fate.
Their destiny was no longer in their own hands.
After all, no one knew what kind of opponents they would encounter.
However, after watching the first round of rocket model demonstrations, everyone suddenly felt more confident.
Initially, they had thought that the rocket models incorporated the latest research and technological achievements, and that their manufacturing quality and technological focus were not to be underestimated.
They believed that even if they didn't completely outclass their self-developed model aircraft, they certainly wouldn't lose in overall quality.
But the University of Science and Technology, the first to launch, immediately crashed, which completely dispelled everyone's awe of prestigious university students.
What's so special about university graduate students?
Thinking about it carefully, they weren't professional aerospace engineers; they were just university students who knew a bit more theory than ordinary university students.
They might completely overwhelm themselves in terms of theory and technology. However, without basic manufacturing technology to support their theoretical system, it would ultimately be an empty talk.
Today, for the first time, everyone recording the program felt confident that they could all pass!
As the first team from the University of Science and Technology regrettably left the field, the Host's comforting and regretful exclamations echoed through the venue.
“Alas, what a pity.”
“According to the weather prediction team at our live competition, the failure of the University of Science and Technology students' rocket assembly was mainly caused by excessive high-altitude wind speed.”
“Real-time monitoring shows that three minutes ago, the southeast wind 150 meters away had already reached level 8.”
“So, the other University of Science and Technology students need to prepare themselves mentally. In our daily lives, we also encounter various unexpected situations.”
“Effectively responding to and solving such emergencies is also a test of the rocket models everyone has made.”
The second team from the University of Science and Technology did not lose morale due to the failure of the previous team; instead, they all perked up and prepared with full effort.
They witnessed the failure of the first rocket launch.
Especially the deliberate actions of the neighboring model aircraft program group, using model aircraft flight to interfere with everyone and draw all attention to the model.
Such behavior would not have been possible without the program group's tacit approval.
As a team from the same university, the University of Science and Technology Team Two felt the pressure on their shoulders. However, this pressure did not crush them; instead, it became a driving force, supporting them to succeed and not fail!
Indeed.
The second team lived up to expectations!
The rocket successfully launched and completed a series of technical demonstrations as desired.
The main research direction of University of Science and Technology Team Two's rocket model was solid fuel and the continuous acceleration of the rocket!
Although this technology is only the most basic requirement for carrier rockets.
Often, the more basic it is, the greater the difficulty of research and production.
Relying solely on students' self-study and research to produce solid fuel that allows the rocket model to launch successfully, University of Science and Technology Team Two ultimately received unanimous praise.
The most crucial point was that, relying on the terrifying speed of the rocket model to crush the neighboring model aircraft, the contestants of the model making competition finally regained their dignity!
The initial speed of the rocket model reached 120km/hour, and after acceleration, it even reached 220km/hour!
This caused the self-developed model aircraft next door, which could only reach 90km/hour, to suffer a crushing blow.
“Hahahahaha, that was satisfying, so satisfying! This is the real rocket model competition! It was a thrill to watch!”
“It finally worked, I knew the University of Science and Technology would not disappoint me.”
“This not only saved face for the alma mater but also for the competition organizers! Hmph, what Ace Pilot, model aircraft are nothing compared to rockets, University of Science and Technology is awesome!”
“Fortunately, Team Two's main technical direction is not affected by adverse weather, otherwise it would have been hard to say just now.”
At the competition site.
Many audience members were discussing animatedly, and the joy on their faces was evident.
On the rostrum.
The judges nodded repeatedly upon seeing this, finally revealing expressions of relief.
Excellent, this is the capability that top university students should demonstrate!
Ace Pilot Program Group.
“F***! I underestimated them! It's a rocket model made of foam, how can it fly at such a high speed!”
The contestant who had just operated the model aircraft in comparison with the rocket model, only to be crushed, couldn't help but curse out loud.
He had almost broken the control stick trying to keep up with the other side.
This made him feel desperate.
“Hahahahaha, you crashed, didn't you? I knew the other side wouldn't be that simple.”
“The first guy who ignited only failed due to adverse weather; they have the technology.”
“Hmph, it's just luck, what's there to be afraid of! When it's my turn, watch how I crush those young punks on the other side.”
The other contestants in the program group had different opinions on what had just happened; some believed they would not be inferior to the other side, some thought the other side was just lucky, but others also perked up and became serious.
Soon.
As one school team after another made their appearance and rocket models launched into the sky, it was Qingbei University's turn in the blink of an eye.
Among the dozen or so teams that had test-flown earlier, only five teams' demonstrations were considered perfect.
As for the other teams, more or less, various problems arose in their final demonstrations due to certain accidents.
Up to now, except for the rocket models of University of Science and Technology Team Two and Qingbei Team One, which impressed everyone, the other teams were somewhat lacking.
“Now, we invite Qingbei University's Second Team to introduce and demonstrate!”
“This team has only three members, making it the smallest team in this year's University rocket model Making Competition.”
“Up to now, through the camera, we can see that the true appearance of the rocket has still not been revealed to us.”
“So, what kind of surprise will this smallest team bring us? Next, let's wait and see!”
As the Host's words fell.
Everyone in the audience and the live broadcast cameras simultaneously focused on the center of the venue, on the three-person live streaming team, each fighting their own battle!
Tang Xiaoyuan, upon hearing the Host's voice, still didn't look up, only focusing on helping Su Yu manage the live stream through her phone.
Meanwhile, Tang Tian carried the live broadcast camera, panning the lens around and aiming it at the competition organizer's broadcasting team!
