Chapter 147: The bickering over a Mountain Creeper
Translated by me, edited by drpetro.
The University of Zhongyun was where Ye Qing graduated from and the four years of bachelor studies still managed to leave their mark within him.
Of course, it also wasn’t that deep of a mark. During university, Ye Qing was mainly focused on his family factory, as he drove his commercial van everywhere to provide warranty services to other factories.
With the Lagonda parked in front of the gates, the two guards, who were already informed, immediately opened the gates and welcomed Ye Qing in.
Right now was the summer break, so there really weren’t a lot of students on campus. However, the ones that were, were generally either looking to remain studying or were using the university for residence while working elsewhere.
Ye Qing drove his car right up to the current main engineering building. The engineering building was separated into two distinct components: at the front was a 12 story high office building which included all kinds of research laboratories, and connected to the building was a giant square shaped, steel covered research facility.
Inside of it was all kinds of strange research areas, for example, an enclosed circular laboratory.
Completely disconnected from the outside air, the research done inside was completed using all kinds of plants and man made lighting, such that the living conditions in the s.p.a.ce station could be simulated.
Enclosed air circulation, and an enclosed ecosystem.
Ever since Rescue from Mars played, potatoes were introduced into the ecosystem as well. While Ye Qing was still at school, they were even seeking volunteers to go live self sufficiently in there for a week.
The enclosed laboratory was the biggest, as well as the most complex, lab to enter. It was basically comparable to entering a factory’s dust free workshop.
In comparison, the tropical climate greenhouse was so much simpler. To be blunt, it was just a greenhouse that grew common tropical vegetation and used computer controlled temperature, humidity, and sunlight exposure.
Having parked his car, in casual clothing and a pair of sungla.s.ses, Ye Qing slowly walked up the stairs of the engineering building with the 3D camera in hand.
Due to just how hot summers were, Ye Qing had made a habit of wearing the data gla.s.ses while driving. Not only could the lenses turn to all kinds of colors, they could also perfectly filter out the oncoming headlights, and provide all kinds of distance data to him.
They were just too d.a.m.n useful. With it, there was no need to worry about reflective lights blinding him at all.
Two girls carrying some study materials pa.s.sed by Ye Qing while chatting.
“Waa! He looks so cool ~” When Ye Qing arrived in front of the building, the girls were already gossiping about him.
“Which cla.s.s is he in? He’s so good looking with those sungla.s.ses.”
The one waiting was some vice princ.i.p.al who was pulling over time. After some cold greetings the vice princ.i.p.al still warmingly informed him that there were some ripened fruits in the greenhouse that he was free to pick from.
He literally handed Ye Qing the keys to the greenhouse and excused himself with the excuse that he was just too d.a.m.n afraid of the heat.
Ye Qing familiarly walked past all of the research areas, which were presently almost deserted.
Inside the research area were many plants and pieces of equipment that required almost constant attention, so those remaining behind for further studies and those responsible for some of the research topics naturally became the ones taking care of them.
Beside the tropical greenhouse was a man made hill. Several students in engineering club uniforms were currently having an intense discussion surrounding an insect like vehicle with four very exaggerated suspension wheels.
From the looks of things, they were currently testing the vehicle’s all terrain abilities. The one leading the team seemed to be the one dragging everyone down as he kept on entering variable numbers into his simulations on his Mac.
Coming from the same trade, Ye Qing took a couple more glances of them. However, after seeing everything, he just couldn’t help laugh, as this so called ‘Mountain Creeper’ ATV thing was basically a toy, except it’s remote controlled.
Opening the door to the greenhouse, Ye Qing almost fainted due to the wave of escaping humidity. No wonder the vice princ.i.p.al excused himself, just by standing there Ye Qing was already feeling sweat rolling down his back.
It was already hot enough during the day, yet the sun above was basically like sunlamp roasting down.
Ye Qing was completely unable to enjoy the scene of the tropical plants as he ran to the furthest man made beach and photographed the large coconut trees with the 3D camera.
Two minutes later, Ye Qing exited the tropical climate greenhouse completely drenched in sweat. Originally, Ye Qing was prepared to leave right away, but that Mountain Creeper model ATV thing was climbing the man made hill to the tune of clip clops.
This model vehicle actually had some special suspension. While it was trying to cross a big piece of rock, the vehicle would stop, raise its base through the suspensions, and even split its wheels apart wide enough to bypa.s.s the piece of rock.
When it started to slowly go over the piece of rock, just as Ye Qing predicted, it flipped
Ye Qing had his data gla.s.ses on, so all kinds of parameter values for this model vehicle were clear to him. Of course, he actually had no interest in these kind of toys, however, just when he was about to leave, the topic of the student’s discussion actually kept him from leaving.
Thus, Ye Qing was prepared to help them out a bit.
“President, it’s probably because the creeper’s suspension rose too high, so it was unable to keep its balance. How about we lower its height a bit?”
“If the suspension are too low, then it won’t be able to pa.s.s over it. I feel like it would be in our best interest here to add in an automated balance calculator. This way we can compute its center of gravity and use the suspension for adjustments. For example, just like when it was going up the slop, high at the front, low at the back.
“You say it as if that’ll be easy. There aren’t even many car makers in the country who have this kind of technology.” The club president looked up from his laptop and retorted: “So how are you going to add it?”
“If only Lei Yu was still here. He knows so much, maybe he might even be able to create this kind of automated balancer.” A student enviously said: “Lei Yu is seriously good, pa.s.sing the Monster Heavy Industry’s interviews right after graduating…”
“Now, as soon as I look at my friends circle, it’s basically all envy and rage. Not only were their wages double that of the average, they even had a banquet at a five star hotel. All those western liquors, yeah, those ten most commonly seen liquors, my G.o.d, they were opened like bottle of beers, and I heard even the superstar Xu Ninggong showed up.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. This has spread like wildfire with our school’s friend groups. I’ve even Baidued the price of all those liquors, my G.o.d, it’s scary.”
“And then there’s Yang Baihe, she’s currently a manager at Monster Heavy Industry. An exec right after graduation.” The other student’s eyes were completely filled with yearning: “Yang Baihe, the dream of just how many men? Now that she’s a manager at the Monster Heavy Industry, from what I can tell, only our senior Ye Qing has the rights to her.”
Wow, young people’s thoughts were just so unhealthy. Such a serious question originally, yet with only a few sentences, it was already crooked all the way to Siberia.
“Huh hue ~ Senior Ye Qing?”
“Yun Jie, can you use your brains a bit? Only Ye Qing can be matched with Yang Baihe?”
“Bull c.r.a.p. Clearly, not even ten Yang Baihe is enough to match with Ye Qing alright?”
“Ye Qing is a G.o.d in my heart. Yun Jie, go Baidu him, he’s the creator of the Monster Heavy Industry. At the annual Science and Technologies exhibition in Shanghai, the Monster Heavy Industry had actually placed first and second for the Innovation Award.”
“Ye Qing is also a G.o.d in my heart, I even looked him up on the web. He’s the sole creator of the Monster Heavy Industry!”
A student with a face full of pimple scars also disagreed with Yun Jie’s statement: “You are lowering Senior Ye Qing’s taste. I’ve heard rumors that last time at the Sheraton, the superstar Xu Ninggong asked our senior out in the morning for a date, yet he completely left her hanging.”
