Chapter 565: Chapter 539: Not Giving Up on Any Student
In the laboratory, a group of students was assembling a mecha.
Due to a comprehensive upgrade, the mecha was no longer the heavy iron mass it used to be.
Especially with the most advanced joint bearings applied to the arm and leg joints, the mecha’s movements were more fluid.
Although it couldn’t reach the fluidity of a human’s arms and legs, it was already a great improvement compared to before.
Ye Chen knew that the mecha’s progress was entirely due to the tireless work of these kids.
These children had exerted all their energy to realize their dreams.
Seeing Ye Chen, Lü Gang excitedly ran over.
Now, in their hearts, Ye Chen was like a god, capable of solving any problem with ease.
If it weren’t for Ye Chen, they wouldn’t have been able to create such a mecha.
Ye Chen had empowered them, giving wings to their dreams.
"Principal Ye, we’ve almost completed the mecha upgrade, take a look," Lü Gang said excitedly.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I’ve been watching, you’ve done well, but there’s still some room for enhancement."
Last time, Star University’s mecha caused a sensation, but some foreign experts ridiculed it as flashy but impractical.
In other words, although it was built, it had no real utility.
This was the main reason foreign countries were indifferent to Star University’s mecha.
This time, Ye Chen intended to shock the world when presenting the mecha.
While chatting with Lü Gang, Ye Chen noticed a figure outside the window, timidly watching the mecha.
In Ye Chen’s memory, he had seen this boy many times.
Yet, the boy was always outside.
Curious about the boy, Ye Chen decided to know more.
After chatting with Lü Gang for a while, Ye Chen walked out of the laboratory.
Seeing Ye Chen come out, the boy turned to leave.
Ye Chen called out to him, "Hey, student, wait a minute."
The boy stopped upon hearing Ye Chen’s call.
"Principal Ye." With a lowered head and a wandering gaze, the boy gave an impression of lacking confidence.
Ye Chen asked in confusion, "Are you a student at Star University?"
The boy nodded, "Yes, I’m a student at Star University."
"Oh, which major are you in?"
Upon this question, the boy’s expression turned odd; he muttered with his head down, "Principal Ye, I haven’t chosen a major yet."
Ye Chen was surprised.
It’s been over two months since the start of the school term at Star University, and almost all students had chosen their majors.
Given that Star University imposed no barriers to choosing majors.
Descriptions for majors are available on the official website, and students can freely choose their majors.
In other words, as long as you choose, no one will refuse you.
Ye Chen’s curiosity about this student deepened.
Why hadn’t this student chosen a major?
Particularly in the boy’s eyes, Ye Chen saw inferiority and a lack of confidence.
Ye Chen founded Star University to give wings to every child’s dreams.
He would never give up on any student.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "You’ve been watching from outside, do you like mechas?"
Initially, the boy nodded, then quickly shook his head.
"How about this, come to my office, let’s have a chat."
Ye Chen decided to learn more about this child.
Back in the office, Ye Chen poured the boy a cup of water.
"What’s your name?"
The boy replied, "My name is Lu Chang."
"Oh," Ye Chen said.
Ye Chen opened the academic registration system, and soon the student’s information appeared before him.
Upon seeing the information, Ye Chen understood why the boy hesitated at the door.
It turned out the boy had a childhood illness that resulted in the atrophy of his right arm, rendering it almost useless.
In other words, the boy could only use his left hand.
He must love mechas but feared becoming a burden to the team due to his right arm, so he only watched from afar.
Understanding the situation, Ye Chen looked at Lu Chang.
"Little Lu, you like machinery, right?"
Lu Chang looked at Ye Chen and nodded.
Indeed, he deeply loved machinery, especially after seeing Lü Gang and the others create the mecha; he felt immense admiration.
He wished to join the team, but due to his right arm, he had to give up.
In school, Lu Chang always had good grades.
However, after falling ill, his right arm lost all feeling, severely impacting him and causing his grades to plummet.
Initially, he had no chance of going to college, but Star University offered him an opportunity to rediscover his dream.
Since childhood, Lu Chang loved machinery, so learning of a mechanical engineering major excited him.
Still, his right hand remained a burden.
The mechanical major required practical work, yet he couldn’t use his right hand.
Although his left hand could manage daily life, it wasn’t feasible for mechanical work.
Yet, he didn’t want to abandon his dream, so he spent his time in the library.
In the library, he read mechanical engineering books, while at the lab, he watched Lü Gang and the others build mechas.
Listening to Lu Chang, Ye Chen smiled and said, "I have a mechanical project here, are you interested?"
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Lu Chang’s eyes lit up.
He loved machinery but didn’t want to be a burden to the team. Now, Ye Chen was inviting him personally.
But soon his eyes dimmed.
"Principal Ye, maybe not, I don’t want to be a burden to everyone," he said.
Ye Chen smiled gently, "You won’t be a burden. You’ll be the main person responsible for this project, and it needs you to complete the initial phase alone."
"What?" Lu Chang was stunned by Ye Chen’s words.
Ye Chen smiled, "Alright, come see me tomorrow."
Lu Chang nodded with puzzled eyes and then left.
Watching him leave, Ye Chen turned on his computer.
The project required design work related to Lu Chang.
With Lu Chang’s right-arm issue, the goal was to restore his confidence by providing him with a functional right arm.
If it were earlier times, Ye Chen might have used medical skills to restore Lu Chang’s arm, but now...
Lu Chang’s right arm had become non-functional tissue, beyond his help, sparking an idea in Ye Chen’s mind—mechanical arm.
The design for the mechanical arm quickly emerged in his mind.
With divine-level technology, Ye Chen completed the mechanical arm design within a day.
Early the next morning, Lu Chang arrived at Ye Chen’s office.
Looking into Lu Chang’s eyes, Ye Chen sensed a tinge of nervousness.
With a gentle smile, Ye Chen asked, "Lu Chang, are you interested in this project?"
Saying so, Ye Chen turned on the computer.
Upon seeing the design, Lu Chang’s eyes were full of tension, excitement, and enthusiasm.
