Chapter 8 Discernment

In fact, professional model competitions are different from other sports competitions because there is no direct competition to determine the winner.

In this competition, all the contestants went through very fierce preliminaries and semi-finals, and were screened out layer by layer, and by the time of the final finals, there were only more than 30 mecha models left.

The competition venue is on the large lawn of the school, and each contestant has his or her own open booth where they can put their own entries, processing tools, field models, posters, etc., and some of them are well-made and self-shot model animations.

A total of five judges, composed of professors of mechanical design from the academy, senior engineers of mecha manufacturing companies, presidents of toy companies, and other professionals, but they do not reveal their identities, but mingle with ordinary visitors, secretly observing the contestants' models, or asking the contestants some professional questions to determine the final score.

Of course, those headhunters will not let go of this kind of opportunity, sometimes even if a contestant does not win in the end, but as long as his creative ideas are similar to the style of a certain company, then it is likely to be directly hired as a professional designer.

Therefore, the more than 30 players are full of energy and confidence.

As long as you have the courage to show your own ugliness in front of everyone, you can come up with your own model, and maybe be valued by a certain company, and you can get rich overnight.

Add to that the snacks and the toy company's vehicles that specialize in mecha models, and the whole school is in a festive mood.

Silly Qiang is also one of the more than 30 finalists, and in addition to reading, mecha model design is his biggest hobby.

Qiao An and He Ruozhi served as his assistants to help him decorate the booth, connect the lights, play DV programs, etc., and he was tired and sweaty.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the booths were almost decorated, the models were in place one by one, and a large number of people suddenly poured into the grass.

"Wow, professional-grade Swiftloon mecha, that's great!"

"The camouflage-painted military PT-547 model heavy fire armor is so exquisite, even the exhaust holes on the soles of the feet are carved out, and there is no omission at all, which is really good!"

"Look at the animation over there, three Sirius reconnaissance mechs are preparing to escape from a meteor shower, this video is amazing, ah, this mecha model has also been specially damaged, every wound is lifelike, as if it was completely hit by a meteor shower, it's really, really exciting!"

The cute children couldn't read the doorways inside the model, they just thought these mechs were so powerful, and they screamed with excitement.

As soon as there are too many people, Silly Qiang can't take care of He Ruozhi and Qiao An, his face is full of seriousness, and he keeps explaining his creative ideas and concepts to past visitors, you must know that the five judges are all in these people!

He Ruozhi looked left and right, his face full of anxiety.

"What's wrong?" Joan asked.

"Why hasn't my sister arrived yet, she said she was going to come to the game today." He Ruozhi said.

In addition to the finals of the professional contestants, there are also many people who have obtained semi-professional qualifications, and will be able to use their mecha models to consult with the judges and the final winners after the competition.

This is also to increase the enthusiasm of the public, and to create invisible advertisements for schools and major companies.

He Xiaomei was selected as a representative by her elementary school and could go on stage to exhibit her mecha.

This is an honor that Xiaomei has been looking forward to for a long time!

"Maybe it's a traffic jam, the traffic in front of the school is really bad today." Qiao An said that she also knew that He Ruozhi's sister was a mecha fanatic, and she was talented and intelligent, which was completely different from He Ruozhi.

Silly Qiang is about to go crazy, but he usually stammers a little when he speaks, and once he talks about mechas, they are purely professional academic words, and he doesn't have much money for superfluous arrangements, so after a while, the crowd gradually became scarce.

"Looks like we've failed." Silly Qiang sighed, "Everyone likes to look at mecha with bright looks and handsome names, and they are not interested in my design at all. ”

"No, it won't." He Ruozhi patted his brother on the shoulder, "This is just a misunderstanding of ordinary people, concealment is the most important thing on the battlefield where artillery is riddling, isn't the bright-looking mecha a moving humanoid target, and it is clear that others want to bombard him?" I think your design is very good, although both mechs look like toads......"

Indeed, the two mecha designed by Silly Qiang are very plain in shape, and they don't look like humans at all, but ugly animals lying on their stomachs, and their bodies are also painted with black swamp camouflage, which are simply like enemy miscellaneous soldiers in cartoons, no wonder no one has watched them.

A chubby middle-aged woman stood in front of the stupid booth, she frowned and looked at it for a long time, and then came to a conclusion: "These two mecha are really ugly." ”

Silly Qiang sighed: "Yes." ”

The middle-aged woman nodded in agreement, and then changed her tone and said, "But it looks like the living space will be relatively high." ”

Silly Qiang's eyes lit up: "You can see it too!" These two mechs have a prone design, less than a quarter of the height of ordinary mechs, and have a very good performance in dodging aerial artillery fire, and it is difficult for the enemy's lightsaber to successfully cut these two mechs in close combat. ”

"And how do your mechs attack the enemy?" The woman asked with a smile.

"Look." Silly Qiang skillfully removed a tiny device from the mouth and back of the two mechs, "This is the beam weapon generator, which specializes in attacking the enemy's legs in close combat. We all know that the weakest part of a humanoid mech is the support shaft of the legs, but it is difficult to attack the legs if it is also a humanoid mecha. I have no problem with my design! ”

"But the humanoid mecha has the most extensive use, and your design seems to have less combat functions, because the fumaroles are all at the bottom, it is difficult to adapt to space combat."

Silly Qiang said categorically: "I don't think every mecha has to adapt to a variety of different combat environments. These two mechs are designed to fight on the ground in complex terrain. You see, in addition to limb support, there is also crawler action, or flying close to the ground in the form of a hovercraft, and the combat mode I hope is to be able to hide in the dark in a mimic manner, cooperate with the humanoid mecha to form a combat formation, and wait for the enemy to approach and then suddenly pounce on the attack with a surprise attitude, and kill with one hit! ”

The woman nodded her head as she looked at the silly design.

Qiao An and He Ruozhi on the side hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the only visitor tightly, serving tea and water, shaking fans and towels one by one, and offering great hospitality.

"This ...... It looks like a good design, but I don't think I've ever seen this type of body on the market, did you modify it yourself? The woman continued to ask.
