About myself
I am a tech-savvy male student passionate about science, engineering, and computers. I deeply enjoy technology and creation. In Minecraft, I contributed to building the "Star of Voyage" server, where 212 players collaborated to create the most realistic railway system ever seen in any Minecraft server, which features train formation, station departures and arrivals, switch routing, and more. I have a strong passion for computer hardware and have personally purchased three different laptops over the past few years, each equipped with distinct CPUs and GPUs, including two with NVIDIA RTX graphics cards and one with AMD's integrated graphics chip, which allows me to explore performance differences and practical applications. Additionally, I am a veteran builder with 11 years of experience in VEX Robotics Competition, winning both Skills Champion and Tournament Champion titles in the 2024–2025 season. Technology, programming, mechanics, and creativity are the driving forces behind my journey.
My passion for Mechanical Engineering didn't stem from textbooks; it began outside a glass storefront when I was in the second grade. On the way to dinner with my parents, I stumbled upon a youth robotics center. Displayed in the window were several massive VEX IQ machines. I had no idea what they were at the time, but watching another kid control a complex machine with a simple remote left me utterly spellbound. I was so glued to the glass that my parents couldn't even drag me away to eat.
After dinner, we went straight back to learn more, and my journey officially began with Lego. By third grade, after mastering various Lego mechanical kits, I joined their VEX IQ competition team. A year later, in fourth grade, I traveled to the United States for the VEX Robotics World Championship as a primary builder, bringing home the Runner-up trophy. By sixth grade, I advanced to the VEX V5RC division, which I continue to dedicate myself to today as the captain of my school team. From the moment I saw those gears turning behind the window, I have been deeply fascinated by mechanical transmissions and linkages. Today, engineering is no longer just a hobby—it has become an inseparable part of who I am.

Beyond wires and metal, I also explore structural beauty through simple materials.
In my spare time, I am deeply fascinated by delicate, hands-on crafting, such as folding this origami Five Intersecting Tetrahedra. While the paper itself costs next to nothing, the true value of these creations lies in the spatial logic and patience required to assemble them. Each piece is a pure reflection of my creativity. To me, true engineering and craftsmanship are not defined by the price tag of the materials, but by the imagination and dexterity used to transform flat geometry into a complex, interlocking system.

Ever since the F1 movie caught my eye in 2025, Formula 1 has been my ultimate sporting obsession. It is a mesmerizing symphony of three elements: the uncompromising pursuit of the ultimate mechanical structure for maximum speed, the most intense strategic chess matches calculated under extreme pressure, and the purest manifestation of the world's top driving skills. It is where engineering mastery meets human willpower.

Bidirectional Optional Stopping System (BOSS)
Faced with extreme spatial limits that only allowed for a single rail line, I engineered a "Single-Track Bidirectional Optional Stopping System" using native Redstone logic. It acts as a digital traffic controller to prevent head-on collisions on a shared track. It also allows approaching trains to dynamically choose whether to make a precise station stop or bypass it at high speed.
In fact, We've built 7 versions of BOSS. The biggest improvement was established in the upgrade of generation 5 to 6. Specifically, that's a complete reconstruction of the sturcture.

The FIRST generation of BOSS ↑

The structure of the first generation is the most complicated one.
The detection unit operates in two stages: First, at 60 meters before the station, the train passes an initial sensor and drops a routing tag, which alerts the system to prime the detection circuit. Then, as it passes the second sensor at the 30-meter mark, the system reads the tag to finalize the command: stop or bypass.

Bottom View of Generation 3-8(FROM left to the right) of BOSS ↑
From the bottom view provided, you can see that the structure of version 6- 8 is much more simple than the previous versions. The most fundamental reason is that the detection logic has been streamlined from a two-step to a single-step process: entering the station with a "stopping" tag instantly triggers the halt.

Bottom View of BOSS Generation 8 [FINAL VERSION]
In the final version of this project, the detection logic has been changed to: Once the STOPPING TAG was received, the stopping system will be activated. The detection of TRAIN ENTERING THE STATION has been simplified.

Fully Automatic Train Depot 4.0.7
As the number of stations along the network expanded, we needed to develop a new type of depot capable of handling destination tag selections for 84 distinct stops. Therefore, we engineered the largest train depot on the server. It features an 84-station routing system, supports the dispatch of up to 16-car train formations, handles fully automated train retrieval and departure, and boasts a stunning exterior design.

Comprehensive Station Stopping System (CSSS)
On the other end of the spectrum, we pursue ultimate space efficiency. This drove us to create the smallest double-deck, fully functional stopping system. It covers all the essentials: basic halting, arrival lighting, and departure notifications.


Side View of CSSS
This compact stopping system integrates every function imaginable, all compressed into an incredibly small volume of just 3x4x10 blocks!
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Personal Computing Devices & Hardware Specifications
YAOSHI 16 Series
This is not only the most capable laptop I have ever bought, but also "the one that truly understands me." The combination of an NVIDIA RTX 5080, an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, and 64GB DDR5-5600 memory gives me absolute computational freedom—perfect for intensive local AI image generation where I need to completely render new background styles while keeping the subject's face strictly unaltered. The most powerful external water cooling system keeps acoustic levels at a whisper-quiet 40 dB even at 350W total power. With 6TB of Samsung 990 Pro storage, a machine that imposes no artificial limits matters far more than superficial polish.
YILONG 15 pro 2026
Experience the untethered freedom of the YILONG 15 Pro 2026. Powered by the next-gen Ryzen AI 7H 350 processor and a GeForce RTX 5060, this machine flawlessly bridges the gap between everyday mobility and raw hardware acceleration. Performance is never an issue, but raw power isn't the only story; the massive 99Wh battery lets you compile code, edit documents, grind through intensive AP mock exams, or play all day without hunting for a charger.
YILONG 15 Series
This laptop delivers strong performance without sacrificing endurance, allowing it to adapt seamlessly to both focused study and relaxed downtime. The Ryzen 7 8845H and GeForce RTX 4060 provide ample computational power when needed, while the 99Wh battery enables long, uninterrupted use,which often lasts an entire day away from the charger. Whether I am working through demanding tasks or unwinding afterward, it maintains the balance that lets me stay productive without being tethered to power.
WUJIE 15X Series
This is not only the most well-balanced laptop I have ever owned, but also the one that truly fits the way I think and work. The Ryzen 7 8845H and Radeon 780M provide smooth, unconstrained performance, while the massive 99Wh battery allows me to use it for nearly two full days without charging. With 3TB of Samsung 990 Pro storage, a 16:10 2560×1600 120Hz display, and a full RGB keyboard, it removes unnecessary limits and keeps pace with my ideas.
