"Oh?"

Governor Li was immediately a bit surprised and delighted, smiling as he said, "I had no idea Mist City Arts and Science University’s specialized education in higher institutions was actually quite rich."

As the governor of Mist City, who was not a professional in the Department of Education, it was quite normal for Governor Li to be unaware that Mist City Arts and Science University also had a National Academy.

"We at Mist City Arts and Science University adhere to the principle of establishing majors based on students’ interests and hobbies. In addition to traditional science and engineering, humanities, and arts majors, we also have many specialized departments."

Ding Yue gave Governor Li a simple introduction to the distribution of professional departments at Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Governor Li, next up is an excellent program from our university’s drone major, responsible for the drone performance,"

Ding Yue said with a smile.

After the National Academy’s "Bonding Through Martial Arts" performance concluded, the drone program was up next.

It must be said that drone performances are truly versatile; they can be used in any situation. However, this time it was during the day, so perhaps the lighting effects were not as impressive.

Nevertheless, the drone major still had ways to make the drone performance spectacular this time.

Buzz buzz buzz!

There were no drones placed on the Central Sports Ground.

However!

The sound of drones was approaching.

At the entrance to the Central Sports Ground, rows of drones flew out from the passage.

And outside the Central Sports Ground, faculty and students from the drone major were seriously operating these drones.

In fact, these drones were not like ordinary drones. The drones used in this performance carried programs inserted by the computer science department, which then directed their performance flights.

In other words,

today’s program called "Sports Drones," was a collaboration created by Mist City Arts and Science University’s computer science department and the drone major.

The computer science department was responsible for writing the flight programs for the drones, while the drone major provided the drones and overall control.

"What is this program?"

Governor Li, seated at the main platform, grew curious upon seeing rows of drones flying over the Central Sports Ground and asked.

Although he knew it was related to drones, general drone performances didn’t seem to be like this, right?

After all, Governor Li had seen many drone performances over the years, usually during occasions like the National Day, and there would be related drone performances.

"Governor Li, this is a drone performance, provided by our Mist City Arts and Science University’s drone major. However, it also involves the computer science department because the drone performance is based on programs,"

Ding Yue explained with a smile.

"Oh, a drone performance."

Governor Li nodded slightly, saying nothing further.

Director Xiao Wenxing took the opportunity to say, "Principal Ding, your university’s computer science department is well-known nationwide. The artificial intelligence robot Big White was developed by them, wasn’t it?"

"Speaking of artificial intelligence robot Big White, I recall that the national healthcare robots were introduced by your Mist City Arts and Science University, right?"

Governor Li then remembered some details about Big White, though he wasn’t referring to Ding Yue’s version of the artificial intelligence robot Big White, but the original healthcare robot Big White developed by Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Yes."

Ding Yue nodded and replied.

"And it seems, I saw a news piece a few days ago about Google Company’s AlphaGo robot from the United States challenging your robots?"

Governor Li asked again.

"There is indeed such a matter; it seems to have caught the attention of the citizens," Director Xiao Wenxing added from the side.

Ding Yue also replied, "Governor Li, it is true. The challenge match between the two robots is actually to be held at our Mist City Arts and Science University, right at the closing ceremony of the National University Sports Games."

"Is that so?"

Governor Li furrowed his brows slightly and said, "I remember that Google Company in America is quite formidable in artificial intelligence technology. Principal Ding, are you confident?"

For Governor Li, objectively recognizing the level of Google Company’s artificial intelligence technology in America was normal. Thus, he was somewhat worried whether Mist City Arts and Science University’s artificial intelligence robot Big White would be able to withstand the challenge.

If we lose this, I’m guessing there will be no avoiding the buzz from The United States again, which would be somewhat unfavorable, not only for Mist City Arts and Science University but even for Mist City as a whole.

"Should be no problem."

Ding Yue’s smile contained a trace of confidence.

"Your artificial intelligence robot Big White really is impressive. In the incident with the bridge and the bus last time, thanks to Big White’s intervention, it even received honors from the Mist City Government Building. This time, it’s not just representing Mist City Arts and Science University; it’s representing Mist City, and even our Xia Country’s artificial intelligence technology."

Governor Li said this, immediately elevating the significance of the challenge between the artificial intelligence robot Big White and the Alpha Dog robot.

This was also Governor Li intentionally putting some pressure on Principal Ding.

Ding Yue understood this and immediately nodded, "Mm-hmm, Governor Li, rest assured, I am very confident in the artificial intelligence robot Big White that our Mist City Arts and Science University has created."

"That’s good."

Governor Li nodded and then started watching the drone performance seriously.

It had to be said, this drone performance was truly different from the ones Governor Li had seen before.

Because the previous drone performances were all at night, with lighting effects.

However, this time the drone performance by Mist City Arts and Science University at the National University Sports Games had no lighting effects. The drones, like a sinuous dragon, flew out from the entrance of the Central Sports Ground and then rose to mid-air.

At first, it appeared to be quite chaotic.

But soon, the densely-packed drones began to fly like a swarm of bees, eventually taking on a mysterious transformation and forming the shape of an athlete.

Such a drone formation in the appearance of an athlete was more difficult than forming standard characters, because the distance between the drones had to be much smaller than that required for writing "characters."

Whoosh!

In a moment, a wave of applause erupted from the stands.

Governor Li, on the main stage, also clapped and said with a smile, "Not bad at all. The level and difficulty of this drone performance might be the highest I’ve seen."

"Thank you for your praise, Governor Li."

Ding Yue spoke calmly.

Then, the drones that formed the shape of the athlete dispersed, splitting into two parts.

One part continued to maintain the shape of an athlete, although definitely smaller than the first. The other drones transformed into various sports equipment like hurdles, shot puts, soccer balls, table tennis balls, badminton shuttlecocks, volleyballs, and high jump bars.

In this manner, the drone formation shaped like an athlete began a variety of sports performances.

Running!

Hurdling!

Shot put!

Soccer!

Swimming!

Cycling!

High jump!

Various athletic movements appeared in the sky, truly eye-catching and novel.

No one had ever seen a drone performance like this. What was most crucial was that the shapes formed by the drone formation were very realistic, looking as if a person were performing various sports in the sky.

"Great, really great, this drone performance is truly amazing!"

Governor Li couldn’t help but repeatedly express his admiration.

Ding Yue’s mouth couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

The opening ceremony performance organized by Mist City Arts and Science University for the University Games was, it seems, quite successful.

And for the audience present, this was undoubtedly a spectacular opening performance of the National University Sports Games!
