    Interstellar Love Song

    After the wonderful exhibition of the Interstellar Culture Festival, campus life opened a new chapter. Yi Shang, Jiang Wan’yuan, Lin Yue, and other classmates continued to delve into their respective interstellar academic fields, and their friendship grew deeper in repeated cooperation and exchanges.

    However, the peaceful campus life was broken by a piece of big news—the school would jointly hold an Interstellar Scientific Research Innovation Competition with the top scientific research institutions of the Interstellar Alliance. The competition aims to encourage students to break through traditional thinking and explore the unknown fields of interstellar science, and the winning team will have the opportunity to participate in the actual scientific research projects of the Interstellar Alliance. This is an extremely tempting opportunity for any student with an interstellar scientific research dream.

    Yi Shang’s class naturally did not want to miss this rare opportunity. Yi Shang, Jiang Wan’yuan, Lin Yue, Lin Jichuan, and Zhang Yao formed a team again, determined to show their skills in the competition. Yi Shang is still the core think tank of the team. Although she is cold and taciturn, when facing scientific research problems, her keen insight and profound theoretical knowledge can always help the team find a breakthrough direction.

    “Yi Shang, regarding the stability problem of this interstellar energy conversion device, we have tried several methods, and the effect is not very ideal.” Lin Jichuan frowned, handing a stack of experimental data to Yi Shang.

    Yi Shang silently took the data, her eyes quickly scanning the paper. After a moment, she picked up an electronic pen, circled and annotated the data, then handed it to Lin Jichuan, and said concisely, “Adjust the parameters and try again.”

    Jiang Wan’yuan is responsible for injecting vitality and creativity into the team. She can always get inspiration from the bits and pieces of life, adding a unique perspective to scientific research projects. “I think we can integrate the energy recovery concept in interstellar Sailing into this device, just like the physical fitness replenishment during our military training. Maybe it can improve the energy utilization rate,” Jiang Wan’yuan said with sparkling eyes.

    Yi Shang nodded slightly, her eyes full of tenderness and appreciation when she looked at Jiang Wan’yuan: “You can try it.”

    Lin Yue plays an important role in communication, coordination, and knowledge integration in the team. She is not only good at collecting and sorting out various cutting-edge scientific research materials, but also can maintain good communication with team members, ensuring that everyone’s ideas and work direction are consistent. “I just found a recent research about similar energy conversion in the interstellar scientific research database. Some of the views in it may give us inspiration,” Lin Yue said, sharing the information to the team’s holographic screen.

    As the date of the competition gradually approached, the pressure on the team increased day by day. In a key experiment, the energy conversion device suddenly exploded, and the laboratory was filled with a pungent smoke.

    “Is everyone okay?” Jiang Wan’yuan coughed and asked anxiously.

    Yi Shang quickly checked the device, her brows furrowed, and a hint of self-blame was revealed in her eyes. She knew that this accident might affect the progress of the entire project. Lin Yue saw Yi Shang’s thoughts and gently patted her on the shoulder: “Yi Shang, don’t blame yourself. Scientific research is about moving forward in continuous trial and error. Let’s find the reason together.”

    Yi Shang nodded slightly, giving Lin Yue a grateful look. With everyone’s joint efforts, they quickly found the cause of the explosion—a deviation in the material selection of a key component.

    “Fortunately, we found it in time. We can readjust the materials, and we should still be in time,” Lin Jichuan said with a sigh of relief.

    However, new problems followed. The special materials they needed were out of stock in the school’s laboratory inventory, and there was less than a week left before the competition submission deadline.

    “What should we do? This material is also a scarce resource in the interstellar market, and it is difficult to buy in a short time,” Zhang Yao said anxiously.

    Yi Shang was silent for a moment, opened the interstellar communication device, and contacted a mysterious friend of hers in the interstellar scientific research circle. Although Yi Shang rarely interacts with people in peacetime, she has a very high reputation in the field of scientific research. After learning about the situation, this friend agreed to send the materials as quickly as possible.

    After the materials were in place, the team members worked day and night to make the final adjustments and optimizations to the energy conversion device. Yi Shang hardly slept, always staying by the experimental device, carefully checking every parameter and detail. Jiang Wan’yuan felt sorry for Yi Shang, and from time to time brought her food and refreshing drinks, softly persuading: “Yi Shang, take a rest, don’t tire yourself too much.” Yi Shang always looked at Jiang Wan’yuan gently, shook her head and said, “It’s okay, hold on a little longer, we will definitely succeed.”

    Finally, the day before the competition deadline, their “Efficient Interstellar Energy Conversion and Recycling Device” was successfully completed. When the device was activated, the soft energy light illuminated the entire laboratory, and all indicators reached the expected ideal state.

    On the day of the competition, the Yi Shang team brought the carefully prepared project results to the competition venue. There were many experts on the scene, and each team showed amazing scientific research strength. When it was the Yi Shang team’s turn to take the stage, Yi Shang still maintained her cold and confident posture, expounding the principle and innovation points of the project in concise and powerful language.

    “Our device achieves a 30% increase in energy conversion efficiency through a unique energy conversion structure and material application, and has the function of energy self-recycling, which greatly reduces energy loss in interstellar Sailing,” Yi Shang’s voice echoed in the venue, attracting the attention of the judges and audience.

    Jiang Wan’yuan vividly demonstrated the operation process of the device through a wonderful holographic presentation. Lin Yue, Lin Jichuan, and Zhang Yao were ready to answer the judges’ various tricky questions at any time. Their clear thinking and professional answers won bursts of applause from the audience.

    After fierce competition, the Yi Shang team successfully won the championship of the competition with its outstanding innovative achievements and perfect presentation. The moment the result was announced, Jiang Wan’yuan excitedly hugged Yi Shang, her eyes flashing with excited tears: “Yi Shang, we did it!” Yi Shang hugged Jiang Wan’yuan tightly, and a rare and bright smile appeared on her face: “Yes, this is the result of everyone’s joint efforts.”

    Lin Yue, Lin Jichuan, and Zhang Yao also came over, and everyone hugged and wept, celebrating this hard-won victory. They knew that this championship was not only a recognition of their scientific research ability, but also a victory for team friendship and cooperation.

    After returning to school, the entire campus cheered for their victory. The school specially held a grand commendation meeting for them, commending their outstanding performance in scientific research innovation. At the commendation meeting, Yi Shang took the stage as a team representative to speak.

    Yi Shang stood on the stage, looking at the familiar teachers and classmates below, feeling a lot in her heart. She took a deep breath and said slowly: “This success is inseparable from the efforts of every member of the team. Jiang Wan’yuan’s creativity and vitality, Lin Yue’s coordination and knowledge integration, Lin Jichuan’s technical support, Zhang Yao’s careful assistance, it is everyone’s joint efforts that allows us to stand here. I am very lucky to have such a group of excellent partners. In the future, we will continue to explore the path of interstellar scientific research.”

    Warm applause rang out from the audience. Everyone cheered for Yi Shang’s speech and cheered for this cohesive and creative team.

    As time passed, the news of the Yi Shang team winning the championship spread rapidly throughout the interstellar space. They received invitations from various interstellar scientific research institutions and universities, hoping that they could share their scientific research experience and achievements. The Yi Shang team decided to take this opportunity to start an interstellar academic exchange tour.

    They took an interstellar spaceship and shuttled between different planets, conducting in-depth exchanges and discussions with scientific research elites from all over the world. Every time they arrived on a planet, they would be infected by the unique local interstellar culture and scientific research atmosphere, and constantly absorb new knowledge and inspiration.

    In an exchange activity, they came to a planet famous for ecological technology. The scientific researchers on this planet are committed to perfectly combining interstellar technology with ecological protection to create a sustainable interstellar ecosystem. The Yi Shang team developed a strong interest in the research results here and launched in-depth cooperation with the local scientific research team.

    Yi Shang and Jiang Wan’yuan conducted in-depth research on the local ecological energy conversion technology, trying to combine it with their energy conversion device to further improve the device’s environmental performance. Lin Yue actively participated in the communication and coordination work between the two parties to ensure the smooth progress of the cooperative project. Lin Jichuan and Zhang Yao focused on integrating new technological concepts into the design optimization of the device.

    During the cooperation process, Jiang Wan’yuan was attracted by the beautiful natural scenery and unique ecological landscape of the local planet. She said to Yi Shang: “Yi Shang, look how wonderful the ecosystem here is. If we can pass on these beautiful things to more people through our scientific research achievements, that would be great.”

    Yi Shang looked at Jiang Wan’yuan gently and nodded, “Yes, we can try to integrate the concept of ecological aesthetics into our project promotion so that more people can understand the importance of interstellar scientific research and ecological protection.”

    With the deepening of cooperation, the Yi Shang team and the local scientific research team jointly developed a new type of interstellar ecological energy conversion device, which not only has further improvements in energy conversion efficiency, but also can play an active role in the restoration and protection of the interstellar environment.

    This new type of device caused a sensation in the interstellar scientific research community and became a model for the combination of interstellar scientific research and ecological protection. The Yi Shang team also became famous for this and became a role model in the hearts of many interstellar students.

    After the end of the interstellar academic exchange tour, the Yi Shang team returned to school with a full harvest.
