I manage female characters in all the heavens.

They even overcame all the related technologies for large-scale production, and could directly build production lines and start mass production!

This skateboard itself is already amazing, providing all martial artists below the God of War level with tremendous three-dimensional mobility, survivability, and even cargo-carrying capacity.

Imagine if every martial artist had such a skateboard, they could take off and escape from monsters they couldn't defeat, or launch attacks from the air when encountering a horde of beasts.

At a height of 200 meters and a speed of 150 meters per second, martial artists can ignore the threat posed by most ground monsters below the lord level in this world!

Before this magnetic levitation skateboard, motorized flight was something that only a few hundred mentalists in the entire world could do.

But with this skateboard, all martial artists can do almost the same thing, which is a revolutionary change in improving the overall strength of martial artists and reducing the danger of facing monsters!

With just this skateboard, "Liu Ting" can directly join the ranks of China's top scientists, and her contributions to humanity will be written into textbooks and respected by people all over the world.

At the same time, the various technologies represented by this skateboard, such as miniature high-performance batteries, intelligent control systems, and geomagnetic levitation technology, are not limited to this skateboard and can also be applied to other fields.

Compared to similar technologies currently available on Earth, the technology in this skateboard is a game-changer, capable of elevating the overall technological level of humanity by a significant margin.

Such a contribution is so enormous that even Jiangnan University couldn't believe that "Liu Ting" was actually from their school.

But the school quickly realized what was happening and promptly increased Liu Ting's benefits, including scholarships, honorary titles, and banners of praise, in an effort to make this young big shot feel at home.

Liu Ting didn't really care about the school's reward. Although the High Energy Research Institute was affiliated with Jiangnan University, it was actually very independent and directly responsible to China's highest defense science and technology center, not the school.

Internal promotions do not follow the academic system of mentors, scholars, and professors at Jiangnan University, but instead follow the military's researcher, expert, and academician route, corresponding to the warrior, general, and war god levels of martial artists.

Due to the threat of monsters, scientific research in the Swallowed Star world has generally shifted towards military applications, with the military now being the leading force in scientific research.

Meanwhile, various higher education institutions have long been stripped of their research functions and focused on the development of education. For example, the Institute of High Energy Physics, although still nominally affiliated with Jiangnan University, is actually difficult for the university to intervene in.

Liu Ting wasn't sure whether this situation was good or bad for society as a whole, but she knew that it was beneficial to herself, and that was enough for her.

On August 24, three days had passed since "Liu Ting" submitted the geomagnetic levitation skateboard technology to the highest national defense science and technology center through the High Energy Research Institute.

Today, the commendation and recognition from the highest defense science and technology center have finally arrived.

All 300+ people at the High Energy Physics Research Institute put down their work and gathered in the main conference room to attend this commendation ceremony.

On the screen at the very front of the conference room, Yao Weiwu, China's leading scientist and one of the nation's four pillars of parliament, personally appeared and read out the commendation order.

The commendation is divided into two parts. The first part is for the High Energy Research Institute as a whole. Although the technology of the geomagnetic levitation skateboard was almost entirely completed by "Liu Ting" alone, the institute still contributed a lot of manpower and resources. Now that there are results, the institute naturally deserves some credit as well.

The second part is the award specifically for "Liu Ting," and this is the most important part.

Liu Ting had no interest in the long, polished commendation that sounded like it was written by professionals; she focused her attention on the reward she was receiving.

"Comrade Liu Ting, are you listening?"

In the large conference room, Councilor Yao Weiwu's voice came from the other end of the screen, tinged with a helpless smile.

Liu Ting suddenly snapped out of her daze and realized that she had been daydreaming.

She quickly sat up straight and nodded seriously: "I'm listening! Mr. Yao, please continue, I'm listening attentively!"

Yao Weiwu chuckled and shook his head, not revealing her little scheme.

He's lived for so many years, what kind of people hasn't he seen?

He had seen many young people like "Liu Ting" who appeared respectful on the surface but whose minds were already far away.

But he wasn't angry.

Because this seemingly carefree young girl has indeed achieved real results.

The geomagnetic levitation skateboard is a product that could change the entire landscape of humanity's war against monsters.

“Then I’ll continue.” Yao Weiwu cleared his throat and continued reading the second half of the commendation order.

"...In view of Comrade Liu Ting's outstanding contributions to humanity, the Supreme National Defense Science and Technology Center and the National Contribution Rating Committee have jointly decided as follows—"

The audience was silent.

"First, Comrade Liu Ting's national contribution level is upgraded to five stars;"

A collective gasp rippled through the audience.

Five-star contribution level?

Many of the researchers and experts present had spent their entire lives in scientific research, yet their contribution ratings were only one or two stars.

Five stars is something that requires making extremely significant contributions to humanity; many war gods may not even have five stars.

In the game "Swallowing the Stars," Earth is threatened by monsters, and humanity is in grave danger. To encourage everyone to contribute to humanity, almost all major factions have established a contribution level system.

Reaching the corresponding level not only grants a 50% discount on purchases within the store, but also provides numerous privileges.

The national contribution level of China and the contribution level of the Limit Martial Arts Academy are basically equivalent, divided into five levels, from one star to five stars, requiring contribution points from 1 to 5000 million.

According to market prices, donating 10,000 Earth Coins will earn you 1 contribution point. So, to reach the 10,000 contribution points required for a 1-star contribution, you would need to donate 100 million Earth Coins.

To reach a five-star contribution level, you need 50 million contribution points, which requires donating 500 billion!

In the original novel, Li Yao and his wife lost their son, and the bounty on Luo Feng was only 100 billion.

That was an offer from the world's top family, the Bolenas, and it was only 100 billion. You can imagine how unattainable 500 billion or a five-star contribution is for ordinary people.

Liu Ting is only eighteen years old and has earned a five-star contribution level in less than a month since entering the research institute!

Many people present silently swallowed. Is this what genius is? That's too exaggerated!

Yao Weiwu continued reading: "Second, Comrade Liu Ting is promoted to the rank of Junior Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, enjoying the same political treatment and allowances as Senior Academicians;"

Whoosh—!

This caused an uproar in the entire conference room.

Junior Academician!

Don't be fooled by the word "junior" which may seem low; in the national defense research system, the professional titles are directly equivalent to the martial arts ranks.

A junior academician is equivalent to a novice war god!

Previously, "Liu Ting" was only a senior researcher. Above her were junior experts, intermediate experts, senior experts, and then junior academicians.

Even with a smooth and successful promotion process, it would take at least twenty or thirty years to complete the entire process.

But Liu Ting is different. In less than a month, she jumped directly from senior researcher to junior academician, skipping four levels!

This isn't just riding a rocket, this is ascension!

In fact, if Liu Ting hadn't been in the scientific research field for so short a time that the higher authorities hadn't had time to develop a basic understanding and trust in her, her contributions this time would have easily earned her a promotion to senior academician.

But there's no way around it; trust has to be built over time and through interaction. Every senior academician is in charge of major projects and has access to a huge amount of resources.

If someone of this caliber runs into trouble, the consequences will be enormous. Therefore, the evaluation process is extremely rigorous. No matter how great the contribution, a necessary evaluation period must be passed before the title of senior academician can be awarded.

Although she didn't reach the maximum level this time, the junior academician title is sufficient for now, allowing "Liu Ting" to ignore the constraints imposed by a large part of the system and undertake some large projects that require a lot of resources.

The elderly researchers with gray hair below the stage stared wide-eyed at the incredibly young figure in front of them, their expressions a complex mix of envy, amazement, and a touch of bitterness.

They spent most of their lives climbing to the expert level, but this young girl surpassed them in less than a month.

Is this the difference between geniuses and ordinary people?

"Three—" Yao Weiwu's voice drowned out the murmurs of the audience, "In recognition of Comrade Liu Ting and her family's contributions to humanity, the Supreme National Defense Science and Technology Center has decided to grant the Feigong Group partial production and sales rights for the geomagnetic levitation skateboard."

"Feigong Group will become one of the six designated production units nationwide, independently responsible for the relevant markets of the entire Jiangnan base city."

Even the director of the High Energy Research Institute couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

He originally thought the first two rewards were already generous enough, but he didn't expect the third one to be even more ruthless, directly allocating a base city market to the Feigong Group!

Chapter 251 Electromagnetic Railgun

Jiangnan Base City is one of the six major base cities, a huge market with a population of nearly 200 million and more than 30,000 resident martial artists!

This new market is so large that it's unimaginable. If Feigong Group can take it over, it won't be difficult for its market value to increase tenfold!

It should be noted that the market price set above is 1000 million Earth dollars per piece, a price that almost all martial artists can afford.

Just the fact that each resident martial artist in Jiangnan Base City has one already generates over 3000 billion Earth dollars in revenue. Not to mention that this isn't a one-time purchase; subsequent maintenance, repairs, battery replacements, and so on all cost money.

Moreover, no one stipulates that only martial artists can buy it.

The Liu family is about to take off!

The nation never shortchanges those who contribute to the country, including their families. This is the clear and unified attitude after the Great Nirvana, which is now fully revealed.

"Alright, I've finished reading it." Yao Weiwu closed the commendation order, a gentle smile on his face. "Comrade Liu Ting, is there anything you'd like to say?"

All eyes were on "Liu Ting".

"Liu Ting" stood up, straightened the collar of her white coat, walked to the podium in the conference room, and took the microphone.

She glanced at Yao Weiwu on the screen, then swept her gaze across the audience—a mix of envy, amazement, and frustration—and suddenly grinned:

"Oh dear, I never expected to win such a big prize with such a simple little gadget. I feel a bit embarrassed."

The audience: "...?"

Just casually make a little gadget?

What are you saying?

That's a geomagnetic levitation skateboard! A revolutionary invention that could change the way humanity fights monsters! You call that a gadget?!

"However, since the country is so kind to me, I'll reluctantly accept it." She bowed to Yao Weiwu on the screen. "Thank you, Mr. Yao, thank you, country. I will continue to work hard and strive to create something amazing next time."

Yao Weiwu burst into laughter at her words: "Okay, I'm waiting for your 'big thing'!"

The awards ceremony concluded successfully amidst laughter.

After the award ceremony, Gao Jiyuan, Liu Ting's mentor, called to offer his personal congratulations to Liu Ting.

He's currently conducting research at the No. 26 ancient civilization site and can't get away to come back and celebrate with his students, so he can only make a phone call to express his gratitude.

As the only senior academician of the Institute of High Energy Physics and its face, Gao Jiyuan is actually very busy.

But every time "Liu Ting" called, he would make a point of setting aside time to chat with her, sharing his knowledge and experience with her without reservation.

According to his colleagues at the Institute of High Energy Physics, Gao Jiyuan didn't even care about his student "Liu Ting" as much as his own daughter, which is quite lamentable.

The two chatted for a long time, and "Liu Ting" brought out some key technologies of the electromagnetic railgun she obtained from the Ling Cage world to discuss, which gave Gao Jiyuan great inspiration.

During the phone call, he marveled at how imaginative and insightful Liu Ting's thinking was. One phone call had resolved many of his research-related problems, and he was now unsure whether he was Liu Ting's teacher or Liu Ting's teacher.

He excitedly stated that the technical difficulties of the electromagnetic railgun have been largely resolved, and he will officially begin the construction of a new experimental electromagnetic railgun tomorrow to see if it can achieve a satisfactory level.
