In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

"That…"

A student bravely raised their hand and asked, "Director Lin, could you teach us?"

Of course not!

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head mercilessly. Putting aside the question of what level of learning automation could be required to guide all the students onto the right track, if he agreed, how could he then realize his subsequent plan of using the sect's useless members to command the sect's patriarch?

"My main job is to coordinate the province's economic planning and development, so I don't have enough time to teach you."

Lin Zhiyuan gave Wu Chunlin a look, thinking, "Damn it, we can't just stand by and do nothing now that they've arrived."

That's true.

Wu Chunlin immediately understood and stepped forward to comfort the disappointed students, "Our work schedule is extremely full, and besides, if Executive Director Lin has already taught you, what about the more than 8,000 students who came in the same batch? What about the students from other regions and the local students from Handong?"

"Even if you made him into minced meat, it wouldn't be enough for you to share."

puff!

The first laugh finally broke the silence.

Lin Zhiyuan remained expressionless, inwardly cursing. The logic was sound, but the words were far too crude.

You're the one who's disgusting, your whole family is disgusting.

"Without Executive Director Lin's guidance, even if we master this machine, we still won't know anything when faced with other problems."

The high spirits plummeted again, like a small flame that had just been ignited being doused with a bucket of water.

It's not that they don't understand the principle of applying knowledge to other fields, but automation is only slightly better than mathematics. You might be able to use it and fix it, but the real core technologies are like mountains between different fields, and each major direction is completely different.

"The fact that you were able to understand the key technologies of this equipment shows that you have sufficient basic knowledge. You just lack a teacher to guide you, teach you, and help you complete the last piece of the puzzle in your thinking."

Wu Chunlin deliberately emphasized the word "teacher," was that too subtle?

do not care!

The important thing now is to solve the big problem at hand.

"teacher?"

As expected, some students showed interest, but were conflicted.

You've already selected such great candidates, what are you still hesitating for?

Speak up bravely!

Wu Chunlin simply grabbed the lucky student whose expression was the most bitter and resentful, and asked, "What are your thoughts, classmate?"

"I…"

The students hesitated.

Wu Chunlin's heart was pounding in his throat; he wished he could grab the man's neck and force him to say those two words.

"I was thinking of asking my professors for help; they are all authorities and experts in the field, but..."

The student lowered his head. "We're already in the internship stage, and we're not really familiar with our professors."

Not familiar with...

Hey hey! This is a very realistic portrayal of university teacher-student relationships.

After all, everyone present was an undergraduate. To have a strong interaction with a professor who is a leader in the industry, you need to be a graduate student or even a doctoral student.

"Some courses are usually taught by senior students."

The student added another sentence.

Hehehe!

Wu Chunlin forcibly suppressed the corners of his mouth that couldn't help but curl up, and finally said, "You said it yourselves, I didn't force you." He cleared his throat and said, "Since you can serve as our substitute teachers, your seniors must be outstanding elites in their respective fields."

"Yes."

The students nodded vigorously, full of approval, and even a hint of envy flashed in their eyes. If they could, who wouldn't want to pursue further studies?

pity…

Compared to ordinary people, they are quite outstanding; but compared to the senior students who have been accepted into the tutelage of teachers, they are far inferior, and compared to the top geniuses in the country, they are worlds apart.

"Those who are accomplished are teachers."

Wu Chunlin lowered his voice and spoke in a meaningful tone.

Hey!

It's better to have an inner disciple and a personal disciple in between than to directly find a teacher. It's a gradual process and you can get everything done at once!

Ordinary disciples can tarnish the reputation of others and it will pass by in a huff; at worst, they'll just lose face. But what about the elite disciples who represent the inheritance of the mantle?

Can we just ignore it?

wonderful!

That's great!

"You could try calling your seniors."

Wu Chunlin said.

"But they are also...very busy."

The students' eyes flashed with struggle and shame. If the upperclassmen found out, wouldn't their bad reputation spread throughout the entire school? They would never be able to face anyone again.

"That's bad."

Wu Chunlin clapped his hands, intending to add some pressure, "If you fail the assessment at the end of the internship, then I can't let you stay."

"I'll give it a try!"

Li Xinyu gritted her teeth and said.

There was no way around it; she was the one who caused today's trouble, and she absolutely couldn't let her own actions drag her classmates down with her.

Moreover, like civil engineering and electrical engineering, automation is a typical male-dominated field. As one of the few female students in the department, she is generally well-liked.

"OK!"

Wu Chunlin encouraged them, "Apart from the problems, you can talk about your grievances, or even say that I'm making things difficult for you. The more miserable you are, the better."

Li Xinyu's eyelids twitched wildly, and she looked at him in a daze, filled with disbelief...

I'm starting to regret it now.

She shouldn't have agreed so hastily.

"Go ahead and fight!"

Wu Chunlin laughed, giving him no time to react.

"good!"

Li Xinyu was caught in a dilemma, so she dialed the phone number of the substitute teacher, and the call was quickly answered.

A burst of noisy machine hum filled the air, followed by a slightly surprised greeting, "Junior Li?"

"Senior, it's me."

Li Xinyu's voice trembled with tears as soon as she opened her mouth.

Wu Chunlin gave a big thumbs up; three parts tears yielded seven parts tenderness—this was a valuable talent.

"What happened?"

The person on the other end seemed a little flustered. "Weren't you interning at Handong? Did you get upset? I told you to go for a master's degree, but you wouldn't listen. What happened? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Lin Zhiyuan coughed lightly and pointed to the production line next to him, and the other party immediately understood.

"Senior!"

Li Xinyu's voice was sharp and broken, sounding very helpless, "I...I just got into trouble."

"When the new production line was being set up here, I made a mistake while debugging the OI (Operational Technology) system, and now the sensor is broken. The manager is asking me to take responsibility, and I... I've also dragged other classmates into this."

Li Xinyu's gaze fell on the damaged production line, and unpleasant memories flooded back into her mind. She burst into tears, "Senior, I don't know what to do."

"Why is the OI test failing?"

The senior student was incredulous, but quickly reassured him, "What model? Or just tell me the type. Replacing a faulty sensor isn't difficult; the important thing is to recalibrate it thoroughly."

Li Xinyu quickly reported the situation.

"Sensor bracket, adjusting sheet metal, and stop block deformation; cable pulling; tooling, cylinder, and slide table damage..."

The senior student felt a chill run down his spine. The good news was that the most expensive core component wasn't broken, but all the hidden problems that were extremely time-consuming and beyond the capabilities of a novice to solve were present.

"Don't rush! Don't rush!"

The senior student suppressed his inner turmoil and reassured him, "There are a few of your seniors in Handong, all of them senior mechanical engineers. I'll have them come over."

"Starting now."

"You, no, all of you, don't touch it anymore."

"Wait for my news."
