Interstellar Mecha Life

Chapter 68

"Score?" Qi Yue couldn't help being stunned after hearing Angel's words, "Is there any score requirement for participating in the competition?"

"Didn't I just find out?" Angel was very depressed.Today, he was called by the teacher in the department to say that his grades were not enough. If the final credit score of this semester cannot reach 3.5, he will not be able to participate in the competition.

Qi Yue frowned: "So this is a new rule? It was announced by the competition?"

"I don't know, anyway, I don't remember that there was such a rule." Angel was very confused, "But if it is true, I might be really embarrassed, unless I get A in all subjects this semester, I will definitely not make it 3.5. It is estimated that many people in our team will also be stuck by this condition."

While talking, McDull has obediently and quickly sorted out the competition rules and various supplementary terms, and all the parts related to the students' grades are presented in front of Qi Yue.

In fact, even if it doesn't tidy up, Qi Yue probably knows it well.After all, when she participated in the competition for the first time, she experienced such a big setback because she suffered from not studying the rules thoroughly.Later, in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, she naturally went through all the rules.

Sure enough, what McDull sorted out was almost the same as what she remembered.

"I found it." Qi Yue said, "The competition does stipulate that contestants must reach a certain level of performance, but it is 3.0 instead of 3.5."

"Nimma! So she lied to me? She's scaring me?" Angel finally couldn't help but swear, and his voice was raised so high that everyone around him was startled, and he was surprised and blamed eyes.

"However, there are also regulations in the rules. The participating students must obtain the consent of the department they belong to, obtain the approval of the instructor in the department, and obtain a written certificate before they can participate."

They are not familiar with this process because before the usual competitions, as long as the registered mecha team provides the official list, the department will get the list from the organizer, and after the review is normal, a unified certificate will be issued.

The instructors mentioned here are not the instructors of their mecha team, but the academic advisors assigned to each student in the department. They are responsible for selecting courses, withdrawing courses, changing courses, and giving advice to students when their academic performance is in danger and they face a crisis of quitting school. Its reminder and guidance.

This matter is indeed difficult to solve, but it is not particularly serious for the entire mecha team.

Because among all the 30 team members, including Qi Yue and the others, only six are students of the Department of Mechanical Theory and are restricted by this new policy.It's just that Angel, as the captain, is an experienced veteran player who has participated in two competitions.Even after recruiting newcomers, his actual ability is also among the best.If he can't play right on the court, it will seriously affect their overall performance.

"Don't worry, let's find a way." Qi Yue said, "As long as you get all A's, you can still compete. It's not hopeless."

Angel smiled wryly, "It's easy to say, but I'm not you."

Qi Yue's grades have always been good, and the current credit score is 4.0.This is mainly because she not only has strong hands-on ability and rich practical experience, but also has solid theoretical knowledge.

As for Angel, relatively speaking, he is lame in knowledge and skills.

His assembly ability is not top-notch among all the contestants, but it can be called above-average. However, every time he implements it on paper, his design theory foundation will increase by two.

He just didn't understand. In the specific operation, the problem that could be solved in three or two strokes turned into a bunch of strange symbols in class.For example, the calculation of different gears of the power system, he clearly knows what to do and how to choose in practice, but he just doesn't know how to calculate the transmission coefficient.

Sometimes looking at those test questions, he really wanted to say to the teacher: Although I don't know how to write the formula, but I can show you how to write it, okay?

Of course, he didn't really dare to do so.

Because of his poor grades, he became more and more lazy to learn and memorize, and he felt conflicted in his heart. Now he barely has a credit score of around 3.3, which is not easy.

Who would have thought that after two or three days, this matter would no longer be a topic in the Department of Mechanics Theory, but would become the focus of discussion in the whole school.Because apart from their departments, many departments including the Mecha Department of the Lower School and the Driving Department of the Upper School have set their own performance limits.

Discussions among students are also in full swing.

Some think that students' job is to study, and if they want to do other things, they should first improve their academic performance.No matter how important the Mecha Contest is, it is still an extracurricular activity and cannot replace or seriously affect one's job.If a person performs well in the mecha team, but his grades are usually lazy or even often fails, can he be said to be a good student?

The voice of opposition is not small:
The mecha competition itself has requirements for grades, so there is no such thing as a team that performs well but often fails.

This time, the various departments came forward and raised the standards within the department to 3.3-3.6, which is equivalent to raising the requirements.Many questioned whether such high grades were really necessary. 3.0 or above is enough for many students, why must it be improved?

Isn't this move contrary to encouraging students to carry out extracurricular activities, isn't it forcing students to eat books?

No matter how much the pros and cons argued endlessly, each department seemed determined to implement this policy to the end without making a sound.

As a result, 1/5 to 1/4 of each team, including the DREAM mecha team, was unable to play.The personnel involved include the core players who can play, as well as peripheral players.

The current policy does not restrict participation in mecha team activities, but only for the last game, so although it has an impact on the big mecha team, it has little impact.However, many small mech teams may only have five or six people in total, and this policy made them lose their arms and legs in one fell swoop.Originally, there was little hope of qualifying, but the emphasis was on participating with dreams in mind. Now it is even more difficult to escape the fate of becoming a supporting role.

Some teams even retreated, unwilling to pay such an expensive registration fee to be a complete foil.There are also some teams that simply don't have enough three players to play, even if they want to play, they can't help it.

So this incident caused a whirlwind on the campus, with all kinds of quarrels and protests, and people's hearts were impetuous.

In the DREAM team meeting, although Angel, as the captain, also faced the test of not being able to play, but because of the early preparations, he has calmed down at this moment.

"No matter how this matter is resolved in the end, there is nothing wrong with making preparations to improve your grades." Angel said, "As for those arguing with others, I suggest that everyone not participate. It is a waste of time and useless Several instructors of our team have expressed their opinions and agreed to join us in formally submitting a protest to the school in the name of the mecha team to express their attitude.

"And everyone should be clear that this incident does not involve our team. As far as I know, many mecha teams, including several wealthy teams, have already taken measures to protest. So for everyone here, the most important thing is The most important thing is to stick to your own training, maintain your state, and continue to improve. If you fail to meet the standards, don’t be discouraged, and work hard to prepare for the battle. There will always be a day of success.”

He was stating his persuasion with everyone, and he was also comforting himself.

DREAM now has two instructors besides Gu Zhifeng. One is Chang Fan, a professor from the Mecha Assembly Department of the Lower School, who mainly gives them guidance and advice on assembly. The other teacher is from the Mecha Design Department where Lulu works. However, because all the mechas in the mecha competition have a uniform appearance, there are no external design factors, so the main help for them is team affairs, communication, negotiation and other aspects.

At present, it is this design teacher who plays the main role, negotiating with various departments.

"Let's make some statistics. Everyone will register their department, course selection and credits for this semester, and then estimate their final grades. Please mark which courses you think are difficult." In order to prevent the worst When bad things happen, they have to be prepared in advance.

"Captain, is the team going to give us a little trouble?" Someone asked with a smile.

"If necessary, we will do this." Angel glanced at Qi Yue, "But no matter what other people do, if you don't want to learn and don't have internal motivation, it won't help. And it's too late to make up classes now, and the midterm exam is just around the corner It's been a week."

"God, don't remind me of this."

"I hate exams the most."

"Me too. Hey, I feel irritable when I think about exams."

Angel didn't think so, but he still said: "Next time you get upset, think about mech competitions. If you want to play, study hard."

After he finished speaking, everyone laughed.

After laughing, everyone has made their own decisions in their hearts, and the expressions on their faces are extremely dignified and it is not easy.

That day, Qi Yue returned to the dormitory after class, and happened to bump into Alice when he walked to the door.

The dormitory of the two is next door, so they walked together all the way.After Qi Yue exchanged pleasantries with her, she fell silent.Although he realized that there was someone next to him, he still couldn't help but think about a mecha design problem.

"Is your team okay?" Alice finally broke the silence.

"kindness?"

"Mecha team." Alice was clearly probing when she said this.She is the kind of tall and fashionable girl who is always full of vigor and vitality, but at this time she seems so cautious. "Nowadays, many departments have raised the performance requirements for their players. Your team hasn't been affected, has it?"

Qi Yue said: "There must be some influence. But it's okay."

She speaks the truth.

Although some members of the mecha team may not be able to meet the requirements of the game, but after recruiting new people and expanding their personnel, they will never be more stretched than last year.At least five assemblers and a driver can still be scraped together.

Alice looked at her expression for a while, as if she was reading her true thoughts, but also seemed to be hesitating.

Seeing that their dormitory was about to arrive, the two were about to say goodbye.

"Qi Yue, do you know? Shuyuan has always hated you." Alice said suddenly.

"Shuyuan?" Qi Yue was unfamiliar with this name.

"You don't know her?" Alice was surprised. "She's a senior in our Mechanical Theory Department. She's a junior this year. And she's the founder and captain of the newly established Brilliant Mech Team in the department."

Qi Yue snorted.Although she still has no impression of this person, she still knows about the Brilliant Mecha Team.

In fact, because the establishment of the mecha team in the department is a very important thing, basically every teacher has to mention it in class, even if she wants to be completely ignorant, it is very difficult.

Alice looked at her expression carefully, as if she couldn't believe that she didn't know who Shuyuan was.

"You really have no impression at all? She said that she had a class with you. It was about interstellar materials. But it was also because she had a bad impression of you in that class, saying that you didn't pay much attention to the class and didn't treat the teacher very well. Respect, very self-righteous, self-esteem is very high. I don't communicate with my classmates..."

Alice went on and on and on.She thought Qi Yue would be angry, but in the end she only found a dazed and puzzled expression.

In the end, Qi Yue said oh again, but didn't say anything.

"At the first mecha competition last year, she even raised a banner against your DREAM to protest."

Qi Yue had no impression at all.

"It seems that you really don't know her anymore." Alice couldn't help but think of Shuyuan's hatred and annoyance every time she mentioned Qi Yue.She often despises but can't help but pay attention to and explore, and then scold and laugh a few words before she feels comfortable, in the eyes of Alice at this time, it is so sad.

The person she hated so much didn't even know she existed.

Qi Yue was not curious about the Shuyuan she was talking about.Although through Alice's few questions, she knew that there was such a person in the world who hated her inexplicably, but what did that have to do with herself?

She didn't know her before, she didn't know her, even if she was hated, she lived well.From now on, I don't need to know her to know her, and I will live a good life as well.

Of course, it is undeniable that this feeling is really amazing.Thinking of this, Qi Yue smiled and said: "Then I'll go back first." She was already standing at the door of the dormitory, opened the door and entered.

Alice said again: "I probably understand Shuyuan's mood. Although I can feel that you are not hostile, I also feel that your behavior is too hurtful."

At this moment, Qi Yue stepped into the door with one leg, stopped abruptly, and listened to Alice's continuation.

"I believe that Shuyuan and you once had conflicts, maybe on an occasion that you have forgotten. She was bitter, but you forgot everything about her. Also, you are different from other classmates. Hang out with everyone, don't discuss hot topics, gossip for entertainment, don't ask exam questions, review and discuss with everyone... But every time, you are the one with the highest score in the class.

"You have the capital to be proud. Whether it is your academic performance or the performance of the mecha team, you are remarkable and unmatched. You are indeed proud, and it is terribly proud." Alice bit her lip and said, "There are many things. It may seem nothing to you, but from the perspective of most of us, it seems that you are very indifferent. It seems that you don't care about us."

"..." Qi Yue paused after hearing her talk, "Then, I'll pay attention in the future."

When Alice heard this, she suddenly felt that the air was stuck in her chest and could not go down or come up.She consciously punched a beautiful combination, but in the end she only hit the cotton.

"Forget it, I'm too nosy. Everyone has their own life and their own way of doing things. But..." she said, "I say this with good intentions. You may have made yourself an enemy unintentionally I don’t know. For example, Shuyuan. Do you know who proposed the increase of the grade limit in the first place? It was Shuyuan.”
