"Xia Xu! Xia Xu is back!"
"Wow, he's tall and handsome, and he's the boss of a group. He's truly tall, rich and handsome!"
"Sucks, with this body, I bet there's only tendon meat underneath the clothes!"
"It feels much higher than before. Did the mechanic accept the [Heavenly Soldier] project himself?"
The Venom supercar drove back to the gate of USTC and immediately attracted countless people to stop and stare. The entire school gate seemed to have stopped in time for a short time.
Because of the wolf giant incident, this car can be said to be Xia Xu's iconic vehicle. If we talk about the most famous person in the past two months, it is definitely Xia Xu, so it is no surprise that he attracts so many people's attention.
He smiled and nodded politely to the classmates who had the courage to greet him, and then the car slowly drove into the campus.
"Hey, is the lab building so busy today?"
Passing by the experimental building of the School of Mechanical Engineering, Xia Xu originally had no intention of stopping, but he saw that the downstairs was crowded with people, including many familiar faces.
Some of these people were teachers and students from the School of Mechanical Engineering. Even though Xia Xu had been absent from classes for most of the semester, he was still able to recognize quite a few of them thanks to his powerful memory.
In addition, there were some students who should be from other departments. At the front of the crowd were a number of media reporters, and most of them were foreign media.
"Brother, what's going on in there? It's so lively."
Xia Xu drove the car to the corner, leaned his head out of the window and asked a student who had already crowded to the edge of the landscape flower bed.
"This you... Mechanic!!!"
The man subconsciously turned his head, and when he saw Xia Xu's appearance clearly, his voice suddenly rose three degrees, attracting the attention of the people in the small area.
"It's me, but forget about the nickname. You can call me classmate, or junior or senior."
Xia Xu nodded and smiled, then continued to ask: "What's going on inside? Is there an event at school today?"
“It’s not an event, it’s an interview.”
When the man heard Xia Xu's question, he finally suppressed his excitement as if he had met a celebrity, and explained, "I heard that your department's research team has developed a very advanced robot, so many foreign media heard about it and rushed here to interview you."
"Foreign media?"
Xia Xu was stunned.
This is the University of Science and Technology of China in Shanghai. Although in theory the universities of science and technology of China in various countries are considered a whole, it is impossible to completely eliminate the regional differences. In essence, it is still a cooperation model in which each university operates on its own.
At the University of Science and Technology of China in Shanghai, if there are any media coming to interview, the first ones should be domestic media.
However, after getting out of the car and looking towards the center of the crowd with his 1.9-meter height, all of Xia Xu's doubts were immediately dispelled.
Because he was very familiar with the research team being interviewed, or to be more precise, he was very familiar with their team leader.
Victor Spott.
That makes sense.
Behind Victor Spot stands the Spot Group, and he often represents more than just himself. If he has any achievements, he will naturally contact the Spot Group first.
As for these foreign media, they might have been invited by the Spot Group itself.
In the past two months, various technology companies have shown their talents. As a giant spanning multiple fields such as electronic components, vehicle carriers, military weapons, etc., Spot Group is naturally unwilling to lag behind.
However, the Spot Group does seem to be a relatively "peaceful" consortium. It has released a lot of advanced technologies in recent days, but they are all components with better performance, or "conventional" projects favored by the national defense, such as aircraft, tanks, and thermal weapons.
These technologies are actually very high-end, basically at the world's top level, and many of them even have exclusive patents. Their market and practicality cannot be denied.
But unfortunately, in terms of eye-catching gimmicks, it is obviously not as good as science fiction concepts such as robots, exoskeleton armor, and biological transformation.
In fact, it is mainly small and medium-sized enterprises that can make big news these days, while old giants like Spot Industries are more conservative.
After all, they already have a stable business and a basic foundation. Any further development will be to continue to deepen their own fields. There is no need to engage in gimmicks or gamble, and the countless interests involved do not allow them to do so.
Isn't it better to just build fighter jets with better performance and missiles with more powerful force, and then have the Ministry of National Defense purchase them as soon as the data is listed, rather than spending huge amounts of effort to develop an exoskeleton armor, and then going to great lengths to develop the market
This kind of consideration was naturally normal in the past, but it seemed a bit mediocre at this time when so many demons were rampant, and it was inevitable that the reputation of these groups was greatly damaged.
At this time, the Sport Group, which has always been the big brother, naturally has to find a way to remedy the situation, and the new type of robot developed by Victor Sport is a good opportunity to remedy the situation.
"Boss, you are finally back!"
"Brother Xu, Victor is really cheating."
"Maybe it's just bragging?"
Probably because they heard the answerer's exclamation of "mechanic", Zhang Meng, Lu Dong and Cao Yuan squeezed out from the center of the crowd, and then pulled Xia Xu inside again.
"It's just a robot, why is it so exaggerated?"
Xia Xu was somewhat helplessly pulled inside by Zhang Meng.
At this time, his current strength was revealed. When the people around him saw that it was him, they all showed curiosity, but they also consciously made way for him.
"Hey, isn't this our mechanic?"
In the center of the crowd, Victor Spott was facing the camera with a smug look on his face, but he had obviously noticed Xia Xu a long time ago. When he saw him squeeze into the front of the crowd, he immediately stopped talking, raised his eyebrows and greeted him.
"Thank you. I don't have someone's middle school habit. Please address me normally."
Xia Xu smiled.
There was a lot of tension between the two as soon as they met.
After all, they are old rivals. Victor, who has always been successful, has suffered several setbacks at the hands of Xia Xu because of poaching talents and investing in research teams.
Especially with the last wolf giant incident, they lost all their face, so naturally they would want to get back at him.
"Then should I call you Boss Xia?"
Victor raised his eyebrows again: "I heard that Boss Xia is very ostentatious. How do you say that? Oh, the dragon is hard to find. He missed four months of classes in the first semester, which is only five months.
Well, it's rare to see you today, why don't you come up and give me some comments?"
Although he didn't smile, the smugness and eagerness to show off were written all over his face.
It’s like a child whose toy is compared to his friend, and he goes home crying and begging his parents to buy him a better one, then he can’t wait to run back to show off to his friend.
"Okay, since you asked, I'll take a look reluctantly."
Xia Xu was not so childish as to be angry, but he was still very interested in the new things that Victor had come up with.
After all, this is a double five-star master in mechanical engineering and physics, and he must be feeling resentful after the last wolf giant incident, so it’s not surprising that he’s tinkering with some black technology now.
