1624 Damaged Footage

Wen Ping turned to glance backstage after speaking. Wu Yue was standing there and only half his body could be seen. When Wu Yue gestured okay, Wen Ping raised his hand to point at the projector at the center of the stage confidently.

“This algorithm was created by Tsing University’s Physics department.”

As he spoke, the light on the stage went darker and the projector lit up.

Over 100 college elites sat in front of Wen Ping as he looked at them. He pointed at the screen without putting down his hand and continued. “This algorithm combines polymer variable conversion and quantum mechanics…”

Barely after he had started, he noticed strange expressions on everyone’s faces as people started murmuring.

Wen Ping turned around and looked at the projector behind him.

The footage for their algorithm should have appeared on the screen, but only a mosaic was visible on it. Also, a soft crackling sound could be heard.

It sounded as though the file was damaged.

Wen Ping promptly looked shocked.

Why did their algorithm footage end up like this?

He had checked the files before they left the hotel and it was fine!

Lots of people looked at Wen Ping. Some people laughed. Others gloated. Some cast strange looks at him.

Wen Ping stood stiffly on the stage. His mind had gone blank when this happened unexpectedly. He did not know how to respond.

Li Chenhui and Ying Qi sitting in their seats were stunned. Since they mostly spent their time in the laboratory doing research, they were at a loss about what to do.

Huo Yao glanced at the stage and stood up immediately.

Li Chenhui snapped out of his shock. When he saw Huo Yao get up to leave, he quickly grabbed her arm. “Where are you going?”

Ying Qi also looked at Huo Yao.

Huo Yao’s face looked normal. She paused and said to her two senior brothers, “Just continue presenting. I’ll go backstage to take a look.”

“What about our algorithm …” Li Chenhui bit his lip miserably.

Huo Yao pulled her arm out and patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. The footage will reappear soon.”

Li Chenhui looked into Huo Yao’s calm eyes. He was anxious and worried, but for some reason, he suddenly composed himself.

“Okay.” Li Chenhui nodded.

Huo Yao nodded and walked backstage.

Li Chenhui looked at Huo Yao as she went out of sight. He inhaled before glancing at Ying Qi. They stood up and went up the stage.

They were here to represent Tsing University. Even if something happened to their files, they had to grit their teeth and continue presenting.

On the other end, Wu Yue was the first to go backstage to check the moment something went wrong with the footage.

“The footage was damaged to begin with.” The teacher in charge of the projector sat in front of the laptop holding the mouse trying to recover the files.

Since he was not a professional, he was unable to recover them.

Wu Yue looked annoyed. “What do you mean by damage? We checked it today and it was perfectly fine. Why isn’t it working now?”

It was the first time that the teacher had encountered this. He sounded even more agitated than Wu Yue. “How would I know? I plugged in your thumb drive and this happened. Something is probably wrong with your thumb drive.”
