I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 527: Flashy and Ostentatious



When they arrived at Yanjing Airport, another plane from Jiangnan City had just landed too, and the two teams bumped into each other as they were leaving the airport.

"Oh, isn't this Professor Han? Oh my mistake, it's Academician Han now." An elderly man from the opposite team said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Academician Ding, long time no see," Han Jinyu greeted warmly, but his tone was incredibly flat.

Knowing the power of Zhang Menglong's Artificial Intelligence, Han Jinyu felt almost certain of victory. Since he had already secured the championship in advance, why should he care about the opponent's pre-match provocations?

The more the opponent jumped around now, the more they would embarrass themselves later, and facing someone's provocation with an indifferent expression was obviously more infuriating to them than reacting angrily.

"Big brother, who is this?" Zhang Menglong whispered to Zhu Mengchao.

"This is the director of the Scientific Research Center at Jiangnan University, named Ding Yi, who is also an Academician. Moreover, he has some history with Teacher Han!"

"Oh? What happened?"

"Actually, Teacher Han was supposed to teach at Jiangnan University years ago. After a competition, only one hurdle remained. Academician Ding was in charge of this matter at that time, and due to some differences in academic views, Academician Ding outright rejected Teacher Han with a single vote.

"There was such an incident? Indeed, it's a small world where enemies meet," Zhang Menglong laughed.

"Academician Han is now quite prominent at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology," Academician Ding's tone clearly had a tinge of sourness, "A Nobel Prize winner, who would have thought that the person our Jiangnan University once looked down upon would have his day."

"That's all thanks to Academician Ding," Han Jinyu laughed, "If Jiangnan University hadn't rejected me back then, I might still be just a lowly professor."

"Is this the team Academician Han is leading this year?" Ding Yi quickly changed the subject, as lingering on the Nobel Prize would forever prevent him from holding his head high. "I heard your school also opted for Artificial Intelligence as their project?"

"Yes," said Han Jinyu. "But it can't compare with Jiangnan University, after all, our school's Artificial Intelligence project is only at an initial stage. Tomorrow, we should still ask for some advice from Academician Ding's team."

"Hahaha, of course! After all, our school's Artificial Intelligence is top-ranked globally. Still, if your school wants to catch up, it will need some time. After this evaluation, perhaps, Teacher Han could consider bringing someone over to our team to learn."

"This old guy, playing humble just made him even more arrogant," Han Jinyu cursed inwardly, If he went, wouldn't that be admitting his inferiority?

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce someone. This is Dr. Wu Shuo from our school, who led his team to win the third-class award in the last world competition on Artificial Intelligence," Ding Yi said. "Wu Shuo, say hello to Academician Han."

"Academician Han, hello," Wu Shuo was a somewhat greasy young man whose head was already a bit bald, indicating he had truly dedicated a significant portion of his life to scientific research. With that receding hairline, by the standards of Great Qing, he'd be a prince, "I've always heard that Jiangnan University's Artificial Intelligence is quite renowned, especially in the field of intelligent navigation. I hope to see it this time."

"Damn!" A fellow student by Zhang Menglong's side couldn't help but curse. The intelligent navigation aspect of Artificial Intelligence was previously criticized by universities nationwide as "Artificial Idiocy." It was unexpected that the other party would be so blunt.

"So much for a prestigious university, their character doesn't seem that great."

"Hey, we shouldn't generalize. Just because someone has ability but no manners, we shouldn't smear the whole school," Zhang Menglong said, "But facing such people, I usually choose to clap back."

"Hello Academician Ding, I am Zhang Menglong, the project leader from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology."

"You're Zhang Menglong?" Academician Ding couldn't help but take another look at Zhang Menglong, a 20-something Nobel Prize winner who even kept silent in the face of global scholars at a press conference. Such a person was indeed formidable.

"I know your school focuses on Artificial Intelligence in medical fields," Zhang Menglong glanced at Wu Shuo, "May I ask if this year's project from your school involves the domain of artificial hair transplantation?"

"Hahaha!"

"Brutal!"

"Deadly attack!"

"Damn, I feel offended," a fellow student of Zhang Menglong also touched his somewhat balding head.

"You!" Wu Shuo glared at Zhang Menglong furiously.

"Hey, it's helpful for personal growth to throw a few harsh words before the competition. Let's end it here," Han Jinyu quickly intervened, "We'll head back now, see you on the field tomorrow."

"Hmph, let's go!"

The group immediately got onto a coach bus.

Ding Yi looked out through the car window, "Wu Shuo, you must perform well tomorrow, you must let them know the gap between a prestigious university and a third-class university."

"Yeah, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, a row of brand-new Maybachs pulled up at the curb, Han Jinyu and Zhang Menglong among others laughed and chatted as they got into the cars, creating a stark contrast to their ordinary bus.

"Hmph...so what if they have money?"

...

Since dozens of schools were participating, the evaluation time given was only two days, so this time the schedule was very tight. At 8:30 am, the first school's presentation started.

Qingbei University reserved an area for all the attending schools, and when Jiangnan University of Science and Technology appeared, it immediately drew quite a bit of attention.

"Here they come, the people from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology are here."

"Is that Zhang Menglong? He's so young, it's unbelievable that someone so young could win the Nobel Prize."

"Not only does he have such achievements in the domain of basic physics, he's even leading a team to compete in the Artificial Intelligence competition. Is there really such a genius in the world?"

"Look, I don't know how much more advanced they are compared to a few days ago, but if they score highly again this time, then I'm thoroughly convinced by their school."

...

"Now let's welcome the first school to the stage to present," the host moved on to the main topic, "they are representatives from Xidu University of Electronic Science and Technology, and their chosen project is Artificial Intelligence."

A somewhat chubby young man walked to the center of the stadium, while others helped to lift a robot, taller than a human, onto the stage, "This is a high-precision image recognition Artificial Intelligence our school has developed over several years, its recognition accuracy is more than twice that of the most advanced similar Artificial Intelligence currently available on the market..."

...

Whirring noises!

After the students from Xidu University of Electronic Science and Technology finished their presentation, it immediately provoked a round of applause; indeed, their precision was too advanced and the jury directly awarded them a final score of 2670.

Afterward, schools one by one came forward to present, and those who dared to bring their own work naturally had great confidence in it. After more than a dozen schools, the highest score was still held by Xidu University of Electronic Science and Technology, with the lowest being only 1920.

"Next, let's invite the representatives from Jiangnan University!"

Wu Shuo, with a confident smile, walked up to the podium, "Our school has brought a minimally invasive surgical robot this time, and we have successfully completed a case of kidney removal surgery with it, here are the related technical and video materials!"

...

"Incredible, worthy of being Jiangnan University, their Artificial Intelligence is truly world-class."

"To be able to complete such a moderately difficult surgery with almost no human assistance, the computing precision is simply too exaggerated."

"We still can't match them!" Even the previously best Xidu University of Electronic Science and Technology felt inferior.

The project scored 2800, and Jiangnan University was now firmly in the first place.

Subsequently, Qingbei University and Yanjing University also displayed their projects, scoring 2750 and 2820 respectively, these three schools almost monopolized the top three rankings.

"Next, let's welcome the project presentation from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology!"

"Here they come!"

"I wonder what they can bring out."

"Huh? Wait, are they also doing Artificial Intelligence? Where's their robot?"

All the judges were extremely curious.

Just then, Zhang Menglong walked to the center of the stage, "Excuse me, I thought all the schools boasted online about their wonderful projects, but now it seems, they're all just flashy without substance!"
