Rebirth: All Patents, Cutting off the European and American Tech Tree

#880 - Chapter 880: Official Announcement? Jiaotong University and Fudan University’s Confrontation,

Chen Hao prepared to leave.

The Xuanjia was entering its final crucial stage.

Some of the main components had been put into production in batches half a month ago, leaving only the problem of the nanobots' rapid deformation and switching between the protective armor and the gun barrel—expected to be completed in half a month.

Nanobot technology already existed.

Particle cannons had also been in service for a long time.

But!

Using nanobots to simultaneously replace two functions and quickly switch forms…

This required tackling a key problem.

Currently, switching was possible, but the speed was slow.

This wouldn't do!

In war, defense and attack change at any time, and switching speed would be crucial.

Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang.

"Principal," Chen Hao said, pressing the answer button.

"That…"

On the other end of the phone, Xie Wu said with a smile, "I'm just calling to say hello—we have an agreement."

"Agreement about what?"

Chen Hao was first stunned, then quickly remembered: "Don't worry!"

It was now early June.

Late June was the graduation ceremony for undergraduate students at Jiaotong University.

Four years!

In these four years, except for when he was initially pursuing his wife, he would occasionally go to class.

Oh, right!

He went to classes in the Pharmacy Department!

Later, he never went to class again, and his own Materials Science Department…

He hadn't attended a single class.

He didn't even know where the Materials Science Department's classroom was!

Graduation was imminent.

Faced with Xie Wu's request, he had readily agreed, just to make a decent farewell to his four-year university life.

Here, Chen Hao was answering the phone.

On the other side.

Several city leaders…

No!

They might be leaders in that small city, but here they were just small fry.

"Take them to study the confidentiality regulations," General Wang instructed.

Several National Security elites stepped forward in response.

The city leaders were very cooperative, knowing that until the announcement, Chen Hao's identity was top secret.

"No need," Chen Hao suddenly waved his hand.

"Ah?!"

General Wang was puzzled: "Marshal, after all, it hasn't been officially announced…"

"Graduation is coming soon."

Chen Hao smiled faintly: "I promised the principal that I would help Jiaotong University attract popularity during graduation."

"You mean…"

General Wang's eyes lit up.

Back then, the old man had proposed to the core leadership to let the Marshal ascend to that position, but was unhesitatingly rejected.

Hiding it before was to avoid danger.

Now?

There was nothing to worry about!

"It's going to be announced?!" General Wang asked excitedly.

"Yes."

Chen Hao nodded: "I promised the old man, and since I'm graduating from university, there's nothing to hide."

He had agreed with the old man to officially announce his identity after completely defeating the alien civilization.

And now…

His relationship with Xie Wu was close. On campus, they were teacher and student; off campus, they were superiors and subordinates.

Since the other party had specifically come to him, how could he not help?

Moreover, although the alien civilization had not been destroyed, it was a certainty.

The Xuanjia was almost complete.

Nearly half of the six-month period had passed, with just over three months left for the official counterattack. Although the announcement was earlier than expected, it had no substantial impact—in that case, there was no need for the city leaders to study the confidentiality regulations again.

…

Late June.

Shanghai Jiaotong University welcomed the graduation season.

Unlike previous years, this year's graduation ceremony was extremely grand, with preparations underway a week in advance.

On the day of the graduation ceremony.

Fudan University, Principal's office.

Wang Shenghong was in a particularly good mood.

In order to compete with Jiaotong University, Fudan had also scheduled its graduation ceremony on the same day as Jiaotong University and had invited many celebrities.

He had used this trick before.

It had just flopped that time: at Jiaotong University's welcome party, Chen Hao had single-handedly countered his all-star lineup, attracting countless eyeballs for Jiaotong University, but this time's graduation ceremony… Wang Shenghong was confident!

China's influence was soaring, and cultural exports were constantly increasing. The artists signed by Han Tang Media were no longer at the same level as before.

Not to mention the Hong Kong stars who were already famous before joining.

Even Qin Keqing, Gesang, Su Jin, and others, who were cultivated as newcomers, had gradually entered the peak of the global music scene.

Especially Qin Keqing.

This year, she won four Grammy Awards!

As the CEO of Han Tang Media, Xiao Ling's principle was to make money whenever possible.

Fudan competing with Jiaotong University?

It didn't matter!

As long as Chairman Chen didn't specifically instruct otherwise, as long as Wang Shenghong was willing to pay, she would do business.

In short.

Many artists from Han Tang Media joined the graduation ceremony performance at Fudan.

On the other hand, Jiaotong University…

They didn't invite a single artist!

Wang Shenghong hummed a little tune and couldn't help but make a phone call: "Old Xie, haha… I heard you're also holding a graduation ceremony today?"

"Heard?"

Xie Wu curled his lips and sneered, "You're really shameless! We announced the time first, you announced it later, what do you mean 'heard'? Don't think I don't know, you're just trying to compete with me!"

"Oh! You saw through me." Wang Shenghong became even more smug.

"I'm not blind!"

"Old Xie, are you getting flustered?"

"Flustered?"

Xie Wu was about to die laughing: "Let me tell you, inviting anyone is useless! Last time at the welcome party, we were suppressed by Jiaotong University, and it will be the same this time… No! This time, I'm going to make you lose a hundred times more miserably than last time!"

What?!

Wang Shenghong's face changed.

He, like Xie Wu, had a dual identity.

On the surface, Xie Wu was the president of Shanghai Jiaotong University, secretly responsible for the research and development of lithography machines.

Similarly.

Wang Shenghong, in addition to being the president of Fudan University, was privately the head of the satellite ground station.

He had long known that Chen Hao had a hidden identity.

Xie Wu's words…

"He… is going to announce it?!" Wang Shenghong's voice changed.

"Hehe…"

Xie Wu hung up with a smile.

Damn!

Wang Shenghong immediately stood up.

Just then, the logistics director came in, his face full of smiles: "Principal, the artists from Han Tang Media have arrived and have gone to the dressing room…"

"I'm going to Jiaotong University. The graduation ceremony… find a vice-president to be in charge!"

"Ah?!"

"I'm leaving." Wang Shenghong left directly without explaining.

Walking out of the office, he, who was originally anxious, couldn't help but laugh.

Losing to Jiaotong University again?

It didn't matter!

It would be strange if the Marshal went out and didn't win!

He was anxious before because he was the president of Fudan University.

And now he was happy…

Not in the capacity of the president of Fudan University.

He was a scientist!

A meritorious person who had participated in core projects!

And also…

A 'soldier' under the Marshal, a super fan of the Marshal!

Knowing he would lose, staying at Fudan was meaningless, so he simply went to Jiaotong University to witness with his own eyes that omnipotent young man.

Witnessing his glory was a blessing!

…

There were still a few hours before the graduation ceremony.

Although it was still early, many students at Jiaotong University had already noticed some anomalies.

"What's going on? How come… there are so many CCTV reporters?!"

"Look! Those cars aren't simple!"

Sure enough!

From afar, they saw a motorcade approaching.

The extended black cars, even more conspicuous were the license plates…

Blindingly red!!

"Could it be… a high-level official from the city?" a student asked.

"Look closely at the license plates, they're from the capital."

"What are the cars from the capital doing here?"

"Quick!"

A student ran over excitedly from the direction of the school gate: "So many military vehicles! Outside the school, it's all military, and…"

His voice was suppressed.

A low rumble could be faintly heard in the air.

Everyone looked up, only to see more than a dozen J-40s cruising in the high sky.
