What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

"Director Yang, is this alright?"

The assistant who followed Yang Hewei out of the conference room was a little worried.

"Why not? Look how happy those students are!"

The assistant shook his head: "That's true, but the highest level they have is only graduate students. I'm afraid they're not capable enough to come up with a solution independently."

Yang Hewei suddenly stopped and turned around to ask, "What are the different types of academic papers?"

The assistant was baffled. What kind of papers are categorized?

But soon, Yang Hewei answered his own question: "There are two types: those who can write and those who can't."

"Any paper that can be written will naturally be a good paper, so I won't say more."

"The key issue is that they don't know how to write."

"In all my years in school, I've found that there are two types of students who can't write papers."

"The first type is to copy whatever they don't know, copying from various sources."

"If I see this kind of thing, I will disqualify him."

"But there's another kind, which is blowing."

"Some questions they clearly don't know the answers to, but they still force themselves to explain them, talking to themselves."

The assistant was confused: "What does this have to do with our project?"

"Because this project is definitely beyond everyone's capabilities."

"That means it's impossible for anyone to write this paper."

"Then they only have two options left: copy or boast."

"Give them some time and then see the results."

"If it was plagiarized, then I'm sorry, there won't be a place for him in my group."

The assistant grimaced upon hearing this.

You don't even look at the kind of questions you're giving the students.

Asking a group of undergraduates to research hypersonic stealth drones is about as difficult as asking them to independently liberate Tokyo.

Even if they wanted to plagiarize this topic, they would have to find a way to do so.

But the assistant had been in the workplace for so many years and had a certain attitude, so he could only go along with Yang Hewei's question.

"What about the boasting? Didn't you say that when students face a problem they can't solve, there are only two possibilities?"

Yang Hewei smiled slightly: "If it's just hype, then that's perfect, isn't it?"

"Students' imaginations are limitless."

"As long as their solution is even slightly on par with the original, I'll immediately weld out the model."

"Let the National Security Bureau inadvertently leak some information for propaganda purposes, and then our mission of secrecy will be accomplished."

Yang Hewei's schemes are almost reaching the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

But his strike had a significant impact.

The students were extremely busy.

……

For the next few days, Qin Ze didn't see Zhou Jiahao much.

It had been two weeks since I last saw Jiahao.

In just two weeks, Qin Ze bumped into Zhou Jiahao in the cafeteria and almost didn't recognize him.

"Holy crap, Jiahao, you look so haggard!"

Qin Ze quickly stopped him.

He used to be over 1.8 meters tall, but now he only weighs 130 pounds and is almost unrecognizable from being so thin.

His face was also sallow and covered in stubble.

"Even locking you up with that young woman for two weeks wouldn't be this serious."

What have you been through?

Zhou Jiahao waved his hand: "Brother Qin, don't tease me. This is a scientific research marathon..."

Qin Ze's lips twitched after hearing this.

It was Jiahao who was harmed.

Putting everything else aside, chatting with him really broadens your knowledge.

A bizarre scientific marathon.

"It's about that thing Professor Yang asked me to do last time, have you forgotten?"

Qin Ze shook his head: "I haven't forgotten, please continue."

"A senior student in our group came up with a brilliant idea. We just wanted to test it out, but we didn't expect it to receive such strong support from our advisor after we submitted it."

Qin Ze: "That's awesome! What kind of plan did you come up with?"

"Turbojet engine, optical stealth, 15-kilometer service ceiling, 2-ton maximum takeoff weight—basically, all the most mainstream specifications!"

Qin Ze pouted after hearing this.

Goodness, pure parameters?

If you come up with a plan like this, I'll take it on too.

I can even double your proposal; all I need is a mouth.

"Professor Yang strongly supports your plan, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Jiahao said seriously, "It's true! I'd be a dog if I wasn't telling you."

"Our mentor suggested that we increase the power further and use a knock engine."

"Stealth capabilities and takeoff weight have increased somewhat."

"He said that only aircraft like this have practical significance for mass production."

Qin Ze: ? ? ?

He was very skeptical of the veracity of Jiahao's statement.

Jiahao just mentioned turbojet engines, and the part about optical stealth was already quite vague.

They only submitted the parameters, without explaining how to implement them.

Pure bragging.

And yet, Professor Yang praised him for this?

If Jiahao's statement here doesn't contain any boasting, then it only proves that the academic style of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics is indeed mediocre.

"By the way, Qin Ze, what about you? Didn't you bring your proposal?" Jiahao asked with concern.

"No." Qin Ze waved his hand.

"Then you'd better hurry, the teacher will be reviewing them all next week."

Done.

Jiahao hurriedly went to get the food he had bought for his seniors.

Qin Ze was left scratching his head in frustration.

He could tell that there was something fishy about this project.

How can a national-level project be handled so hastily?

It's only been less than two weeks since the briefing, and they're already reviewing the proposal again?

It's clear that the supervisors don't see these students as a serious reserve of talent.

As for their purpose, Qin Ze had no idea.

He was too lazy to think about it.

Regardless of Professor Yang's or others' motives for undertaking this project, it will not affect my own progress.

Back in his dormitory, he closed his eyes and entered his spiritual space.

"Loading topics!"

Loading...

[The host has been detected to have accepted a large-scale, long-endurance stealth unmanned aerial vehicle research mission.]

This project involves multiple disciplines, including power engineering, manufacturing engineering, engineering mechanics, automation, and electrical conductivity and inductance.

[Rating: Academy Level!]

This is the highest-level project Qin Ze has ever worked on.

But he showed no fear whatsoever.

Give me the correct answer directly.

[There are currently three options available (exclusive to college level and above). Please select one!]

Qin Ze was slightly taken aback.

A high-level project is definitely a good thing.

Even two more options are available for you to choose from.

Qin Ze carefully examined the options, but couldn't immediately discern any performance differences.

After all, the introductions all use obscure and difficult-to-understand technical jargon.

But he can tell at a glance which plan is good or bad.

The most expensive is definitely the best.

The three options are clearly marked below, and the system fee will increase fivefold after using the most expensive option.

The mediocre option is 3 times.

The cheapest option is double the price.

"Then I'll take the cheapest one."

Qin Ze did not hesitate.

The project belongs to someone else, but Brother Tongzi owns it.

Be kind to yourself.
