The competition on the second day was even more intense and thrilling.
Team Moriane demanded that Noelle use lighter materials for the modifications, but prohibited the use of restricted composite materials. This severely limited the available material choices.
Besides, their requirements included reducing the vehicle's weight by 30% while increasing its torsional rigidity by 15%. Traditional frames simply couldn't achieve such balance and performance characteristics simultaneously.
Noelle respected their demands, but she also made a request. "Let's have the competition in two separate areas. I don't want my techniques to be copied by the opponents."
Her words were undoubtedly an insult to Team Moriane. The second round had yet to start, yet she was already accusing them of plagiarizing her methods. It was no different from a blatant provocation and announcement to the world that Team Moriane was inferior to her.
The audience present seemed accustomed to Quake's arrogance, and to internet users, her statement seemed to give them a strong boost of confidence. Surely she had exceptional capabilities, or she wouldn't have made such an audacious claim.
In contrast, Asher was much more cautious. As the executor, he couldn't afford to offend the guests, as it would be deemed impolite and reflect poorly on their hospitality.
He even regretted inviting Noelle to participate. From yesterday to today, plenty of her actions created enemies for Quake.
It might be different if Quake were a complete stranger, but everyone knew that Quake was his girlfriend.
He had no idea how he'd manage the fallout and naturally dared not tell Team Moriane that Noelle wanted separate areas to prevent plagiarism. Instead, he claimed it would reduce pressure and ease the tension. Bruce and his team readily agreed.
This round's modification would take considerable time, so Noelle didn't waste time drinking coffee. She was alone, while her opponents had an entire team. The sheer disparity in numbers had the audience sweating nervously for her.
Large projection screens comparing the modifications from both sides were streamed live globally. Noelle worked quickly, while a group of experts analyzed her progress and methods compared to Team Moriane.
Since she worked alone and didn't have to consult opinions from others, she started working diligently right from the beginning.
Team Moriane, hindered from seeing Noelle's progress and with everyone having their own ideas, faced disagreements from the start. After some arguing, Bruce took charge, and eventually Team Moriane began their work.
