My winter break homework was exposed, and I, a vocational school student, am now being snapped up by

While Lin Chen was busy laying the groundwork for the birth of Xingyan, Lu Han and the others were anxiously awaiting the results of the competition.

According to the official announcement, the defense notice was originally scheduled to be released at the end of May.

According to the procedure, receiving the notification means you have successfully advanced, and regardless of your performance thereafter, you will at least receive a third prize.

As for the final ranking, it depends on the outcome of the defense.

However, when the day came for the notification to be sent out, Lu Han and the others found that they had not received the notification.

Suddenly, the three of them felt a little insecure.

Lin Chen was also puzzled. Based on his understanding of the three of them, and considering that the topic of this competition happened to be right in their favor, there was no reason why they wouldn't even get a chance to defend themselves.

Fortunately, at this time, the official website issued another announcement, saying that because there were too many participating teams, the list of candidates for the defense could not be confirmed on time. The notices that have been issued so far are only part of the final list, and the remaining notices will be issued in batches within three days.

Lu Han and the others could only pray silently, hoping that they were on the remaining list.

However, what Lu Han and the others didn't know was that the reason Yun Tu was unable to provide the list for so long was actually because of them!

At that moment, at YunTu's headquarters, Lu Di, YunTu's chief scientist, who should have been overseeing the review of the competition, barged into the office of the current chairman, Wang Tao, carrying a stack of documents.

"Old Lu? Isn't today the day the competition roster is released? What brings you here?"

"Chairman, take a look at this!"

Lu Di's voice trembled slightly, and his expression was extremely excited.

Wang Tao gave him a strange look and took a stack of documents from his hand.

"Is this one of the entries for this competition?"

Wang Tao asked a question, but did not hear Lu Di's reply.

However, his attention was quickly focused on the documents in front of him.

Although he is the chairman, Wang Tao actually has a technical background.

In the early days of the company, he personally led the technical staff to type out code by code, which laid the foundation for YunTu's future status in the industry. In fact, Lao Mi snatched the crown of drone technology from his hands.

Therefore, he realized the value of this information after only a few glances.

"Is this one of the entries for this competition?"

Wang Tao asked the same question again, but his tone was completely different from before.

This time, Lu Di finally answered.

"Yes, Mr. Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Tao turned his gaze back to the document in his hand: "There really are hidden talents among ordinary people! Just this paper alone makes our competition worthwhile!"

"I never imagined that a few college students could come up with something like this!"

If the technology described in this paper is feasible, then the future of this insect hive control system is limitless!

Hearing Wang Tao's words, Lu Di nodded and said, "Chairman Wang, you think the same way as me. I also think that this insect hive control system can perfectly solve all the shortcomings of current drone swarm control."

And from what I've seen so far, the technology seems extremely feasible!

"and……"

Lu Di suddenly asked with a strange expression, "Chairman Wang, do you know who wrote this paper?"

"Who?"

Wang Tao's gaze finally fell on the signature section: "Isn't it written here? Lu Han? Chen Hao? Shi Jun?"

“No.” Lu Di shook his head. “Chairman Wang, their team is called the Godfather and His Three Godsons Team. Originally, there were four people in the team, but one of them was reported and did not meet the requirements for participation, so he was temporarily removed from the team.”

"The adoptive father and his three adopted sons?"

Wang Tao couldn't help but chuckle. Having been a college student himself, he naturally guessed that the people in this group might be from the same dormitory.

College boys all like to be someone's father.

"Let me guess, could the one who got kicked out of the team be the team's godfather?"

"That's right, but that's not the key point. The key point is this person's name... Lin Chen!"

"Lin Chen? The one who won the Fields Medal?!"

"Yes, Lin Chen has already graduated with a master's degree, so according to the rules, he naturally cannot participate in the competition, even though he hasn't even completed a full year of undergraduate studies..."

Seeing Lu Di nod, Wang Tao immediately understood why the other party had such strong faith in the paper.

If he wasn't mistaken, the source of this technology was very likely that genius student Lin Chen!

Although Lin Chen is known throughout the country for his mathematics, Wang Tao had also heard of his talent in artificial intelligence technology.

In particular, besides mathematics, Lin Chen had previously produced five graduation theses, all of which were related to artificial intelligence technology.

If these three people are Lin Chen's roommates, then their ability to produce this paper makes perfect sense.

Raising his head, Wang Tao said in an unquestionable tone, "Old Lu, reserve a spot for me in this competition's defense session. I need to confirm it personally!"

"it is good!"

Lu Di nodded.

……

A day later, Lu Han and his classmates finally saw their defense notice online, and their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed.

Overjoyed, they immediately ran to the School of Artificial Intelligence and showed off to the teacher who had refused to recommend them that day.

That made them look at him with disdain.

Pooh!

I refuse to believe that Lin Chen didn't help you!

With Lin Chen as a powerful backer, shouldn't it be reasonable for them to be shortlisted?

The final defenses after being shortlisted are held at Tsinghua and Peking Universities. During the defense, in addition to explaining their papers in detail to the judges and experts, each team also needs to upload their work to the drones provided by YunTu for a live demonstration.

Therefore, Lu Han and his team, anxious and nervous, spent a few more days preparing with Lin Chen, and even bought a drone to practice on.

On the day of the defense, Lin Chen, Chen Xiaoxiao, and Wang Heming saw Lu Han and his two companions off as they left the campus.

Watching them walk out of the school gate, Lin Chen suddenly thought of a poem.

"The wind is rustling and the water is cold. A strong man will never return once he is gone!"

"Oh dear! Xiaoxiao, look what your boyfriend is saying! It's so unlucky!" Wang Heming immediately complained.

"Oh, so you're starting to protect us now? When are you going to be honest with us?"

"What...what did you say? I don't understand!"

"Do you want me to explain it more clearly? You..."

"Xiaoxiao! Control your man!"

Time passed quickly as Lin Chen and Wang Heming joked around.

Around 5 p.m., Lin Chen suddenly received a call from Lu Han, asking him to come out to the People's Commune for dinner. He, Chen Hao, and Shi Jun would be treating!

Upon hearing that the three of them were going to treat everyone, Lin Chen immediately knew that there must be good news.

When he arrived at the People's Commune, he indeed saw Lu Han and the other two looking radiant.

"How did it go? How did the defense go? Do you think you can get first prize?"

Just as Shi Jun was about to speak, Lu Han stopped him: "No rush, no rush, let's talk after everyone is here."

Lin Chen understood immediately.

This kid is trying to act big.

Sure enough, a moment later, Chen Xiaoxiao's four roommates also arrived.

Upon seeing the three, the four girls chattered excitedly, asking, "How did it go? Do you think you'll win a prize?"

"How did your defense go?"

"Stop keeping me in suspense, you've already treated everyone, so it must have gone very smoothly, right?"

Lu Han then stood up and said on behalf of the three, "Everyone, I have good news for you. If nothing unexpected happens, our godfather and his three adopted sons' team will win first prize in this competition!"

The expected congratulations did not come.

Wang Heming asked in surprise, "What do you mean by 'no surprises'? The results haven't been announced yet?"

"No, today is just the defense. The list of winners will be announced in three days," Shi Jun explained.

"Tch! There's still no definite answer."

Wang Heming immediately looked down on him.

Lu Han retorted, "What do you mean by 'not certain'? Do you know who our judge is today? Wang Tao, the chairman of Yuntu!"

"After listening to our presentation and watching our demonstration, he stood up and applauded us, and even gave the three of us a thumbs up!"

"Maybe they're just being polite?"

"Being polite? If we weren't number one, then after the defense, why would YunTu want to sign a technology transfer agreement with us? Do you know how much they asked for?"

Before Wang Heming could answer, Lu Han had already raised two fingers.

"Two hundred million! YunTu wants to acquire our competition technology for two hundred million!"

"????"

The four girls in Chen Xiaoxiao's dormitory all stared wide-eyed.
