Chapter 491: Being Noticed Again (Second Update, Subscription Requested)
The elder remembered something and added, "Also, delete all the mecha videos online, they must not circulate on the internet."
Soon, the network department of Hua Country began to take action.
The mecha videos online disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Ye Chen was also monitoring the progress of mecha manufacturing.
When Ye Chen saw this project, he was startled.
He didn't expect that these students' creativity could be this frightening.
They were determined to create a mecha.
Ye Chen looked at the design drawings and secretly shook his head.
Although the mecha prototype had emerged, there was a long way to go before completion.
Judging by their current progress, it would take at least twenty years.
At several critical points, such as the use of nuclear energy in the mecha, and its conduction functions, there were major flaws.
Ye Chen couldn't wait twenty years, but Ye Chen possessed Divine-level Technology.
He decided to lend a hand to these students.
Ye Chen went to the laboratory, pulled out a few drawings, and handed them to Wang Meng and Wu Gang.
"Principal Ye, what is this?"
I have seen the mecha you made, it's quite creative, but key areas need improvement, conduct a thorough study.
As usual, Ye Chen handed over the drawings to them, and then left.
After all, Ye Chen pointed them in the right direction, but the actual work had to be done by them.
When the group received the drawings, their expressions suddenly changed.
This was exactly what they had been painstakingly thinking about.
Ye Chen could be said to have helped them lay out all the issues into formulas.
Now all they had to do was work out these formulas.
Although this would also take time, the direction was correct, so progress would be faster.
Once Ye Chen returned to the principal's office, Lin Shiyin hurried in, "Principal Ye, there are visitors."
Visitors?
Ye Chen was taken aback.
Could it be another principal sending exchange students here?
Lin Shiyin shook her head and whispered a few words into Ye Chen's ear.
Ye Chen's expression became somewhat serious because this time, it was a big shot.
Accompanied by hearty laughter, an elder walked into Ye Chen's office.
Ye Chen stood up, "Hello, leader."
The elder was a high-ranking figure in Hua Country and formerly a decorated military man.
For someone like him, Ye Chen held great respect.
Elder Wei chuckled, "Principal Ye, I heard your school is researching mechas."
Ye Chen nodded, "Yes, those students are delving into it."
Elder Wei asked excitedly, "Can I have a look?"
Ye Chen smiled, "Of course, that's not a problem."
The group headed to the tech building.
Elder Wei was surprised to see the tech-savvy building.
"Xiaoye, your tech building seems more impressive than the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
Ye Chen chuckled, "Not at all, how can we compare to them."
"Why not compare, I heard your nuclear reactor was great last time; if all universities in Hua Country were like yours, our country would be so much stronger."
While speaking, the group arrived at the mecha production site.
Seeing the mecha standing in the factory, Elder Wei was full of excitement.
"Impressive, you really made one."
Ye Chen shook his head, "Elder Wei, this is just a mecha prototype; getting it to move and be functional will take some time."
Elder Wei nodded, "Whatever you need — materials, manpower, resources — just ask, and we'll guarantee everything."
If this mecha was truly made, its significance to Hua Country was enormous.
After all, ten years ago, many countries tried to develop this technology, especially Japan, but none succeeded, showing its difficulty.
Now Star University managed to create a prototype, how could Elder Wei not be pleased.
If this thing was truly completed, the enhancement in Hua Country's combat capability would be a substantial leap.
With mechas, who would dare challenge Hua Country!
Ye Chen shook his head, "Elder Wei, right now we need time; these students are diligently researching, and I believe it won't be long before we see results."
Elder Wei nodded, "Xiaoye, if this thing is completed, the country will buy it; you have no objections, right?"
Ye Chen smiled, "Of course no objections, as Hua Country citizens, our efforts are all for the greater strength of our homeland."
Elder Wei was very satisfied with Ye Chen's awareness, nodding, "Hmm, not bad, I await your good news; if you need anything, feel free to ask, I'll ensure every department gives you the green light."
"Thank you, Elder Wei."
Elder Wei chatted a bit more with Ye Chen before leaving contentedly.
Ye Chen continued pondering as he watched the mecha being constructed.
Earlier, Ye Chen added some of his own elements into the code given to Wu Gang and Wang Meng.
Therefore, Ye Chen actually held absolute control over the mecha.
Once the mecha was successfully built, it would surely cause a global sensation, although Ye Chen trusted these students not to do anything they shouldn't, he still had to be cautious.
After all, people can lose themselves in the face of interests.
Done with all this, Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief and left the school.
Ye Chen drove, listening to the radio.
Suddenly a news piece caught Ye Chen's attention.
Today, Celestial Entertainment released an announcement, officially terminating the contract with its artist Tong Xiaoya, and reclaiming all copyrights related to Tong Xiaoya's music.
This news instantly sparked a commotion.
After all, reclaiming Tong Xiaoya's music copyrights meant she couldn't perform any of her famous songs publicly anymore.
As an artist, hit songs are one's lifeline, this was undoubtedly a huge blow to Tong Xiaoya.
Celestial Entertainment also announced that in October, they would release the main album "Youth Storm" for their artist Wu Meimei.
Ye Chen remembered that previously, Celestial's promotion for "Youth Storm" was tailored for Tong Xiaoya.
The internet was filled with sighs.
"Sigh, what's Tong Xiaoya thinking? Leaving Celestial Entertainment."
"I heard she was being kept by someone."
"The celebrity circle is truly chaotic."
"Exactly, I quite liked her, heard she was blacklisted."
Almost everyone believed Tong Xiaoya's departure meant the end of her entertainment career.
Ye Chen was also warmed by Tong Xiaoya's sacrifices.
To join him, Tong Xiaoya truly gave up a lot.
Ye Chen decided to make a bestseller album for Tong Xiaoya.
After all, she paid such a huge price for him.
Ye Chen recalled a name in his mind, Qiqi.
In a previous life, Qiqi was hailed as the young diva, all of her songs were classics.
Moreover, Qiqi's age was similar to Tong Xiaoya's.
So, Ye Chen drove straight home.
By night, altogether eight songs, samples, lyrics, and scores were all done.
Ye Chen dialed Tong Xiaoya's number.
"Director Ye, is there anything?"
Ye Chen laughed, "You just signed with our company; I want to release an album for you."
"Great, I can't wait; the album you're creating for me must be exciting."
