Despite the University Invention Competition’s seemingly unimpressive name due to the term “university,” it was far from ordinary.0

Universities not only had teaching responsibilities but also research tasks. Many outstanding student mechanics could even reach level 5 or 6, just one or two levels below the republic’s top-tier Legendary mechanics.0

Thus, these elite students were often core figures in university research projects. Due to their specialized fields and areas of expertise, even Legendary mechanics leading the projects sometimes sought their advice. To say their inventions were worthless would be unfair. Many skilled student mechanics could already develop mechas and fighter jets.0

The annual University Invention Competition was highly anticipated, serving as a platform for over a hundred universities in the Stellar Moon Republic with mechanical programs to compete. 0

To help students achieve better results, many mechanical experts would even step in to mentor talented students. So while it appeared to be a competition among students, it was also a test of each university’s...0
