YM778.TV Chapter 332 - Graduation (2).
The reporters ogled over the car for a few minutes and then they all turned back to face Yang Dao, who stood on the podium behind the mic. Journalists all had a talent for nitpicking, and they were born curious about everything. Some were better than others and even had the skill to dramatize stuff.
They started speaking together and the scene became chaotic. Yang Dao sighed and said, \'Can you all speak a little slowly and one at a time? I have not gotten much sleep in the past week so I would like you all to be considerate. Also, this is a college, there are still classes going on."
His words were low sounding and calm paced but it warned the hens in the pin to calm down very efficiently. The reporters settled down and they raised their hands to show that they have questions regarding the products.
Yang Dao nodded and signaled a man in his forties to stand up and ask questions on a random. The man stood up and gave a brief introduction of himself, then he asked, "Student Feng, can I ask you what is the fuel this car is using? Also,"
Before he could finish the words, the boy on th podium smiled and said, "One question per person only, please. I will answer you all. Just be patient." he paused and the man nodded and waited for Yang Dao to continue.
The boy nodded with a smile and said, "So, the fuel used in this vehicle is not the common petrochemical, but it is using a Hydrogen Fuel Cell. It is more like a battery, the technology is yet to be approved a patent so I will not be disclosing the mechanism, however, the by-product of this fuel alternative is nothing but water.
The recharge time is faster than the prototype electric vehicles and it still provides a longer range for travel. Zero noise pollution and almost zero carbon emission."
The reporters were busy figuring out the questions when a lady raised her hand and Yang Dao signaled her to ask. The lady asked, "Student Feng, what you said sounds all fascinating but I have always known that treasure and trouble are two sides of a coin, can you tell us what are the difficulties with such a fuel alternative?"
Yang Dao raised a thumbs-up. He said, "Madam, we need more people like you. The cons of this fuel are the extraction and storage of hydrogen. Although it is very abundantly available, it has its properties. Concentrated more than four percent to seventy-five percent, it will start burning when it comes in contact with air. So the cells I designed are all vacuum sealed and carefully checked."
The conference kept going on and Yang Dao explained everything without hiding and facts other than the mechanism behind the car. The people were fascinated by his explanation. After the media had fed enough, they all settled down with peace.
Aislinn Jasper took the podium and said, "Since you all are now done with the \'Inspection\' shall we proceed with the graduation ceremony?"
The people all chuckled and said, "Yes."
Yang Dao was asked by the principal to go down the stage and dress up in the graduation gown. In the meanwhile, a few people from the teaching faculty took the mic and praised the various qualities of the boy.
A few classmates were also invited over and they showed them the childish side of the Dao Child. How he like simple things and was very competitive. The various personality traits that have always been hidden from the world surfaced. The atmosphere was very merry.
Professor Newton took the mic and said, "I would now like to welcome on stage, the first early graduate and the youngest graduate in the history of our university, Feng Yang Dao."
Under warm applause the boy wearing a black academic gown a black academic falt top hat. The hat top was square and a golden tassel was hanging from the right corner. A decorative hood was also placed over Yang Dao\'s shoulder. The colors in the hood were indicators of your degree and it also had your school colors.
Yang Dao had golden yellow for science and white for art and humanities. The boy walked up to the stage and Aislinn Jasper gave him a hard roll case. They gave him all four of his certificates together.
The boy bowed to the teaching faculty slightly and then he faced the students and media to bow slightly to them. He was just ready to get off the stage when Professor Newton said, "Would you like to say something to your friends below, Dao?"
Yang Dao thought for a bit and then came over to stand in front of the mic. He said, "The party is held at my place, seven in the evening. If you are late, I will not be opening the door."
The people laughed and the boy got off the stage. He interacted with his friends and suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder. He turned back and found Lisa standing there. The classmates were surprised to see the freshman beauty coming up to them, but Kiya stepped forward and asked, "I called Lisa. You better take her home as she has been lonely for a long time."
Yang Dao scratched the back of his head and said, "Well, lend me your car, mine will have to be taken back to the lab."
Icarus handed him his car keys and said, "No scratches."
Yang Dao punched him in the chest and said, "Lisa, do you need to pack anything?"
The girl shook her head and using sign language asked if she could click a picture with him while he was wearing his attire."
Yang Dao nodded and the people began to click pictures with the boy. They even invited the teachers to take pictures with them. The photo session was just about to be wrapped up when a cellphone ring disturbed the flow.
This phone belonged to Yang Dao and the boy excused himself and picked it up. The caller was Ryu Jinshi, after the call connected the man said, "Master, you better get moving from that place and fast. We have received the information. Dozen of hyper-human teams have slipped through and they are all going target you."
Yang Dao asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Dozens of hyper humans were enough to take down the cities and they can only be tackled by a grade four or above elementalists. So the situation inside the civilian regions can become a massacre. Ryu Jinshi said, "I will tell you all the details on the way. First, please get away from the civilians. Laohu Bai and Feng Yun have already reported to the border regions last night to support and this information only came to us now.
Please move."
Yang Dao nodded and said, "Okay, I will leave now." he turned back to his friends who were watching him talk and said, "Something has come up. I need to go urgently. You guys, I am sorry I will hold the party later. Kiya take care of Lisa."
Just to be on the safe side, he said, "Sushi, you look after these guys. No harm shall befall them."
The sylph had always been by his side, so she nodded and agreed. She said, "You got it, Master. Bring me some ice cream later."
Yang Dao nodded and then he rushed out. He did not forgive to say in his mobile, "RALF, move the car back to the lab."
"Yes, Master." said the AI. The boy was not ideal. He used his extreme senses and found three groups of hyper humans to be heading towards him from three directions and they were all twenty kilometers away.
He wished he could kill them all right away but this was the civilian area and a lot of collateral damage will occur if he took an action thus, he first decided to move away from the place. The people did not have the chance to ask much. Yang Dao rushed to the parking lot, got into the car and left the place.
The people at the venue were all surprised, suddenly Lisa received a phone call. She picked it up and said, "Miss, the Young Master just left in a hurry. Is everything okay?"
Feng Yun said, "It is fine, but you all evacuate the place for safety. There are hyper humans at loose, get to Dao Courtyard. Other than Young Master, the rescued children back then can also be potential targets. Go. Now." although she was speaking calmly she gave away a sense of hurry to the girl.
Lisa\'s eyes turned sharp and she said, "Kiya, I need to get back to the mansion, you all too. Leave early. Something big is going on. Do not ask much but do as told, please." and she turned to leave
This was again a surprise to the students. At the same time, Aislinn Jasper on the other side, also received a call, and she had just come back to the office, was shock struck. She could not believe what was going on but she flipped a switch under her desk and the whole campus echoed with alarms.
I few students were still aware about this siren. One of them was Icarus, who said, "We are under stage three terror attack. Everyone stay calm, we are heading to the under ground bunker in the college. Quickly form a queue."
Evacuation to the safehold begun like this.
