5: Chapter 5: The Devil Trio! Slim chances of an A-level rating!

His mentor, Professor Ai Chongfeng, was originally a big shot in the General Armament Department of the Supreme Military Region and a typical representative of The Hawks, known for his shocking remarks.

Ten years ago, the Eagle and China were still in the final honeymoon period of feigned affection.

Under the struggle between The Hawks and the Doves within the country, the Doves' voice suppressed everything, and Professor Ai Chongfeng was squeezed out of the Supreme Military Region, losing most of his power.

Eventually, he came to the University of Science and Technology of China to teach.

If one of the examiners coming this time was confirmed to be one of those leading figures of the Doves, then for Lin Mo, it would certainly be an unprovoked disaster.

But, the current Lin Mo was no longer the senior graduate Lin Mo from before!

Lin Mo smiled gently: "Don't worry, there's always a way when you get to the mountain."

In this China where Lin Mo exists,

There is only room for one faction,

And that is the pro-war faction!

If there must be two factions, then they can only be: the radical Hawks and the conservative Hawks!

"Come on, Lin Mo, you are the only hope of our 404 dormitory! You will definitely get an A!"

The next day.

The graduation thesis defense arrived as scheduled.

It was June.

Just at eight o'clock in the morning, a wave of heat was already rushing in.

At this time, the observation platform in the scientific research testing ground was already filled with people early on. Because mobile phone signals were blocked, everyone could only wait boredly.

The annual graduates of the University of Science and Technology of China have technical prowess at the top level among domestic college students.

Although most of the works were truly a pile of garbage, there would always be some highly creative technological works coming out.

Among them, there was no lack of genius works rated 'A' on the spot.

Before graduation, they were directly poached by the Chinese Academy of Sciences for postgraduate and doctoral studies,

Or they were poached on the spot by large technology companies with annual salaries of over one million.

And this year's graduation thesis defense was different from the past; it would be judged by three academician-level big shots!

Therefore, many freshmen to juniors came to observe spontaneously.

Even some professors from other schools, personnel from scientific research institutions, and senior executives from technology companies applied to enter the school to observe.

The number of people present had reached over eight thousand.

Near the rostrum were the more than two hundred graduates participating in the defense this year,

Surrounding their respective mentors in circles.

Although there were more than two hundred people, there were only about sixty project works.

Many project topics involved complex content, all carried out under the guidance of mentors, with multiple people participating and dividing the work.

Of course, looking at excellent works from previous years,

Only graduation design works completed by a single person have the possibility of obtaining an 'A' grade evaluation!

Because geniuses are all-rounders!

What, you say you aren't an all-rounder but are very specialized in a certain technology?

Sorry, that can only be called a specialist, what kind of genius is that!

"Are you all ready?"

Sitting next to Professor Ai Chongfeng were two people, one was Lin Mo, and the other was Ren Xueyi.

Professor Ai Chongfeng looked at Lin Mo and exhorted: "You must check everything in detail, and there cannot be any mistakes!"

"Rocket Guidance is an eternal topic. The innovation of your work this time is sufficient, but if you want to get an A, it depends on your performance in this defense!"

Ren Xueyi said with a smile: "Mentor, don't worry."

"Lin Mo's Exoskeleton Armor is already finished, I have secretly seen it~"

"Definitely an A! Even ten A's would be no problem!"

Professor Ai Chongfeng shook his head with a smile.

"Alright, still thinking about that Exoskeleton Armor!"

Regarding Lin Mo's Exoskeleton Armor project, Professor Ai Chongfeng had later given it strong support.

Not only did he increase the funding to one million.

He also applied to his superiors to give Lin Mo some secret materials from national-level projects that had already been declared failures.

After all, in his eyes,

The original Rocket Guidance project work was already relatively mature, and Lin Mo could mess around with it however he wanted.

But for the past two months, Lin Mo had never come to ask him for advice on any problems.

Nor had he submitted any verifiable project progress.

He must have failed!

"Don't worry, Mentor. If I can't get an A this time, I will voluntarily apply to extend my graduation."

Lin Mo said with a smile: "I have combined the new and old project works, and I will display them together later."

Two months ago,

Because all graduates' graduation design project topics had already been reported and registered.

The main body of the project could not be changed, but new display content could be added.

Lin Mo simply made three micro-guided rockets and added them into the firepower system of the Kunlun Exoskeleton Armor.

They would just display them together when the time came!

This kind of operation was very common in previous years.

The school also encouraged this practice.

After all, a genius's ideas pop up here and there, one cannot limit a person's performance.

And when Professor Ai Chongfeng heard Lin Mo say this, he frowned.

"Combine new and old projects? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"How can you combine Rocket Guidance with Exoskeleton Armor, tell me?"

"It's simply reckless. If you mess it up later, it will affect the final score instead! You really don't let me worry at all!"

Lin Mo just wanted to explain.

Just at this moment,

Surrounded by a crowd of people,

Two old men wearing Zhongshan suits and a military leader wearing a military uniform with two stars on his shoulders walked into the scientific research testing ground with their heads held high.

The president of the University of Science and Technology of China, the vice president, and the deans of various colleges,

Consciously fell a step behind, following behind them.

When passing by the waiting area,

Ren Xueyi suddenly stood up, leaned over the railing and shouted:

"Uncle Li! Here, look over here! I'm here~!"

The military leader among the three leaders turned his head to look at the waiting area, saw a familiar person at a glance, and said with a surprised smile: "Little Xueyi, why are you here?"

Ren Xueyi shouted with a smile: "My junior brother is defending today, his graduation project work this time is amazing, you must give him a high score!"

Professor Ai Chongfeng's expression changed.

He quickly pulled Ren Xueyi back.

"Hahahaha! Junior brother? Wouldn't that be your little boyfriend? If you don't study well, I'll go complain to Old Ren when I turn back!"

General Li Jingwu did not respond directly, and walked away with a smile.

Lin Mo looked at Ren Xueyi thoughtfully. His own senior sister actually knew a leader of the Supreme Military Region?

And the other leading old man,

Had been staring at Professor Ai Chongfeng with swords drawn for a long time.

It was as if sparks were being stabbed out in the air!

The group of people took their seats on the rostrum one after another.

"Academician Xiang..."

Lin Mo vaguely heard the gnashing of teeth from Professor Ai Chongfeng beside him.

On the rostrum.

The president of the University of Science and Technology of China, Lv Qi, picked up the microphone and said loudly.

"Please keep quiet!"

"The graduation thesis defense is about to begin!"

"Below, I will first introduce the three leaders who have come to our school this year to serve as defense examiners!"

"Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Chief of the General Armament Department of the China Supreme Military Region, two-star General, General Li Jingwu!"

"Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, expert in metal physics and fracture mechanics, director of the China Materials Physics Key Laboratory Center, Academician Lan Mingcheng!"

"Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, expert in nuclear physics and high-energy physics, director of the Nuclear Power Operation Research Institute, Academician Xiang Guangming!"

"Everyone, welcome!"

Warm applause rang out.

The three famous big shots made the graduates present both excited and afraid.

In the last few years of defense meetings,

There had never been academician-level defense examiners, and now three had come at once!

One of them was even a general-level leader of the General Armament Department of the Supreme Military Region!

Although it was a major opportunity,

But at the same time, it also meant that this defense meeting must be the most devilish one in years!

And the facts were indeed so.

"Li Jian, Bao Hui, Wen Caijie 'Tracked Armored Vehicle' project team, work comprehensive score D+!"

"Li Jian individual score D+, Bao Hui individual score D-, Wen Caijie individual score D-!"

"Zhang Guoren, Liu Yuan 'High-Precision Sniper Rifle' project team, work comprehensive score, C-!"

"Zhang Guoren individual score C-, Liu Yuan individual score D+!"

As more and more graduate project teams took the stage,

Everyone present could see it.

The scoring of these three big shots was harsh!

In previous years, some graduation projects could at least get a B grade, or at worst a C+.

Only works with a C grade or above could successfully graduate!

But this year, works that could originally get a B could now only get a C!

Those that could originally get a C all only got a D grade evaluation!

This also meant that many people who could have graduated smoothly now had to prepare for the second defense two months later!

"Too perverted!"

"Really had the worst luck in eight lifetimes!"

Many graduates who hadn't taken the stage yet started to look worried.

It was like waiting for execution.

Before, there was still some admiration for the big shots, but now it looked like a devilish trio!

"Too strict!"

Professor Ai Chongfeng, who was sitting in the waiting area, also frowned.

Since he started teaching, he had never seen such strict scoring.

According to this grading standard, it would be good if Lin Mo's Rocket Guidance project could get a B+!

I don't know what kind of astonishing work it would take to get an A with such harsh scoring!

On the rostrum.

"Old Lan, if they are all this kind of stuff, coming this time is a waste of time."

Academician Xiang Guangming turned his head and looked at Academician Lan Mingcheng on his right: "Except for that B-, what are the other works? It hurts my eyes to look at them!"
