Chapter 1274: Chapter 681: It’s Time to Show the Power of Semiconductors (Please Subscribe)_2

Since Director Qi Chunsheng was indeed dedicated and exceptionally capable in his role as the Director of Academic Affairs, Ding Yue, under the condition that Director Qi Chunsheng’s health was guaranteed, still agreed to let him, who was already close to retirement age, continue to serve as the Director of Academic Affairs at Mist City Arts and Science University.

To ensure Director Qi Chunsheng’s health, Ding Yue even went the extra mile to hire a personal health assistant for him, and several assistant directors were added to the Academic Affairs office to handle various teaching matters of the school, which also helped reduce some of Director Qi Chunsheng’s workload.

"Let Director Qi keep an eye on it, and make sure everything in the Academic Affairs office is solid for this semester’s final exams and vacation planning, as I might get busier soon," Ding Yue said to his secretary, Wen Ruohan.

"Ah?"

Wen Ruohan was momentarily stunned, then asked, "Do I need to notify the Academic Affairs office right now?"

"That would be fine."

Ding Yue nodded and then said, "Xiao Wen, please call Miss An Yujia over."

As Ding Yue spoke, he took out his phone and called his buddy, Xu Bin.

To solve the chip shortage issue, Mist City Arts and Science University’s lithography machine research project was key. Previously, Xu Bin, Luo Peng, and Tong Yihang had informed him that progress on the lithography machine research project was smooth, making significant breakthroughs on lithography machines for 32 nanometer, 28 nanometer, and 14 nanometer process technologies.

This meant that.

Mist City Arts and Science University’s lithography machine research project was mature enough to manufacture lithography machines for 28 or 14 nanometer process technologies.

And with the lithography machines, they could manufacture chips!

It was akin to how they were able to produce potent graphene batteries only after mass production of graphene was achieved!

"Hello, Bin,"

Once he got through to Xu Bin, Ding Yue asked, "Where are you?"

"Where else could I be? Didn’t you say last time that we should focus on the lithography machine research project? So, I’ve been soaking at the lithography machine research project base with Luo Peng, Tong Yihang, and Liu Tiefei this whole time," Xu Bin replied.

"Oh right, your sister Xiao You is here too," Xu Bin added.

The lithography machine research project at Mist City Arts and Science University nearly gathered the university’s topmost group of genius teachers and students.

This included people like Xu Bin from the Computer Science department, Ding Yue’s sister Ding Xiaoyou, as well as teachers like Luo Peng, Su Beilin from the Mechanical Engineering department, and students like Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei.

They were the aces of aces at Mist City Arts and Science University, having a reputation in developing many of the university’s projects.

Now, gathering them all for the lithography machine research project was to tackle Xia Country’s longstanding issues with chips and lithography machines.

After all, the lithography machine research project involved a very wide range of technical fields.

"Really? Okay, I’ll come over right away," Ding Yue immediately said.

"Is something the matter?" Xu Bin seemed to sense something and asked.

"Indeed, there’s something. Your lithography machine research project is the longest and most capital-intensive project since the establishment of Mist City Arts and Science University. Now it’s time for you all to shine," Ding Yue remarked with sentiment.

Since its establishment, Mist City Arts and Science University had developed many projects, including numerous ones in technology.

In fields like battery technology, artificial intelligence, mechanical robotics, and more, they had achieved the most advanced levels nationally and even globally.

And now, it was time for the semiconductor field to radiate some heat and light.

Therefore, Ding Yue prepared to encourage the lithography machine research team to work hard in successfully manufacturing lithography machines and mass-producing 14 nanometer chips, striving to achieve the delivery of Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicles smoothly, fulfilling Ding Yue’s goal.

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Bin immediately became excited, feeling even his blood beginning to burn.

After all, who among the citizens wouldn’t be impassioned at the thought of making a mark in the semiconductor chip field?

"Hahaha, I’ll tell you the specifics when I get there."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, just as Secretary Wen Ruohan notified, Miss An Yujia arrived at Principal Ding Yue’s office.

Ding Yue put down his phone, smiled at Miss An, and said, "Miss An, let’s go. Follow me to the Scientific Research Base Center."

"Okay."

Although An Yujia did not know why Principal Ding had called her over, she just had to follow Principal Ding’s orders.

In fact, by mentioning a visit to the Scientific Research Base Center, An Yujia could somewhat guess what it was about.

So, on the way downstairs, An Yujia took the initiative to ask, "Principal Ding, what are we going to do at the Scientific Research Base Center?"

At the Mist City Arts and Science University’s Scientific Research Base Center, there were many laboratories—all engaged in technological research. Anyone working there was among the top faculty and students of Mist City Arts and Science University in various specialties.

"Our Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicle currently only has an order for 200,000 chips from Guoxing Technology Group. How will we fulfill the rest?"

Ding Yue directly said to An Yujia, "If we want to solve this problem, we need to solve the issue of producing and manufacturing chips."

"Right."

An Yujia had also thought about this problem. Originally, her idea was that with the 200,000 chips, the 200,000 produced Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicles could be delivered in batches. Then for the rest, delivery times would simply have to be delayed.

There really was no other solution, and domestic consumers would surely understand. After all, everyone now knew about the severity of the chip shortage. Without enough chips, it was genuinely impossible to produce the Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicles.

"Miss An, I presume you know that Mist City Arts and Science University has been researching the photolithography machine experimental project for several years now, investing several billion yuan into it, right?" Ding Yue asked An Yujia with a smile.

"Yes, I know that." An Yujia nodded and replied, "Principal Ding, are you saying that our university has the capability needed for the photolithography machine experimental project now?"

"I think we should, but let’s see the specific situation after we get there," Ding Yue responded. He couldn’t guarantee it one hundred percent.

After all, building photolithography machines was a highly difficult task. Moreover, this time it wasn’t about building just one or two machines; it was about achieving mass production. Doing so could significantly alleviate the great pressure of photolithography machines and semiconductor chips domestically.

"Okay."

An Yujia couldn’t help but admire the research strength of Mist City Arts and Science University; they even managed to develop and master the process technology of photolithography machines.

The future potential growth of Mist City Arts and Science University was indeed immeasurable!

Ding Yue, with An Yujia, Secretary Wen Ruohan, and his artificial intelligence robot Big White, arrived at the Scientific Research Base Center.

Currently, at the center, there were already over a hundred faculty and students engaged in various experimental projects for long periods.

In the future, the scale here would expand further, and the number of faculty and students involved in research projects would continue to grow.

"Hello, Principal Ding!"

Students at the Scientific Research Base Center greeted Principal Ding as they saw him.

"Hello, students."

Ding Yue responded to each of them.

Soon, the party of three people, along with the artificial intelligence robot Big White, reached the research center where the photolithography machine experimental project was located.

"Brother Yue, you have arrived."

At the entrance, Xu Bin was already waiting to greet them.

"Have all the people been called?"

Ding Yue inquired.

"Yes, all members of our photolithography machine experimental project team have arrived," Xu Bin replied with a nod and a smile. "Brother Yue, these are the top talents from Mist City Arts and Science University."

"Isn’t that the truth."

Ding Yue felt a sense of pride and satisfaction in his heart.

The group of excellent talents gathered by the photolithography machine experimental project, hailing from his own Mist City Arts and Science University, was not only his pride but also the pride of the entire university.

"Let’s go directly to the conference room." Ding Yue, arm in arm with Xu Bin, entered the building, ready to meet the most outstanding faculty and students from Mist City Arts and Science University in the Scientific Research Base Center’s conference room.
