Chapter 1525: Chapter 806: Neuron Induction Technology! (Please Subscribe)_2

Last year-end, Ding Yue had Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, and Luo Peng form the strongest phototechnology manufacturing and production training team, aiming to officially start producing photolithography equipment this year.

But photolithography equipment is not so easy to manufacture.

Even though Mist City Arts and Science University had already mastered the technology, it was not easy to nurture another batch of skilled personnel.

Luckily, with the strong capabilities of Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, and Luo Peng, they indeed fulfilled the "military order" they made to Principal Ding before the year-end, and the first team of technicians able to manufacture photolithography equipment had been trained.

Ding Yue had put An Yujia in charge of finding a place in the High-tech zone early on to set up a black tech factory area, and had already prepared the corresponding equipment and materials.

Now.

The team, equipment, materials, and funds were all in place.

Starting from the 3rd of January, the photolithography technology team from Mist City Arts and Science University had already started to move into the black tech factory to begin researching and producing 5-nanometer process photolithography machines, etching machines, and other equipment.

According to the previous plan, it would be possible to produce several photolithography and etching machines within a month. Since this was just the beginning, Ding Yue knew that the first few months might be slower, which was understandable.

But no matter, once the core equipment such as the photolithography and etching machines for manufacturing chips were available, both Feiyue Group and Guoxing Technology Group would be able to produce 5-nanometer chips.

With the 5-nanometer chips, major domestic electronic device manufacturers welcomed a true spring. Hence, netizens said that domestic mobile phone and computer manufacturers had another chance to rise, thanks to Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group.

In fact, domestic electronics manufacturers were truly grateful to Mist City Arts and Science University for developing homegrown photolithography machines, heralding the arrival of the domestic chip era.

However, these domestic electronics manufacturers also quietly wondered if the chips manufactured by Feiyue Group and Guoxing Technology Group would be priced higher?

Or if the price would be comparable to foreign chips?

If that were the case, the domestic electronics manufacturers would not be happy because it meant their costs would not be lowered or might even increase.

Capital obviously did not want to see this happen. Even domestic corporate groups were primarily profit-driven!

If Ding Yue knew these domestic companies’ thoughts, he would probably feel quite disheartened.

Because these domestic electronics companies were all too cynical, Ding Yue never intended to monopolize the domestic chip market from the start, or he wouldn’t have agreed to give almost half of the photolithography machine’s annual production to Guoxing Technology Group.

Furthermore, in terms of pricing for the photolithography machines and chips, Ding Yue had discussions with Guoxing Technology, and he ultimately did not choose substantial profits. Instead, he chose to elevate the Chinese brand and the rise of domestic electronic brands, meaning the price of domestic chips would undoubtedly not be too high.

Ding Yue made this decision not because he didn’t want to make money, but because the R&D funds spent by Mist City Arts and Science University on the development of photolithography machine technology were not as high as normal R&D, as he used a lot of black tech and applied BUFF effects to teachers and students, saving a lot on development costs. As such, there was no need to pursue high profits. Even normal profits would be very lucrative for Ding Yue.

That’s the advantage of having a system!

At the end of January, Ding Yue inspected the black tech factory responsible for manufacturing photolithography machines and etching machines, overseen by An Yujia. With just two or three days left, he had basically finished all the work at hand and was also preparing for the New Year.

On the last working day before the Spring Festival, Ding Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief after Secretary Wen Ruohan reported on all the work.

"Phew."

Ding Yue let out a long breath of relief, stretched lazily, and then sank back into a laid-back posture in his office chair.

"Principal Ding, can we celebrate the New Year after today’s work is done?" Secretary Wen Ruohan asked expectantly.

"Yes, are you sure you are not going back for the New Year this year?"

Ding Yue nodded with a smile and asked Secretary Wen Ruohan.

In previous years, Wen Ruohan would go back home to spend New Year with her family, but this year she chose to stay at Mist City Arts and Science University and experience the festival at the school.

"Yep."

Wen Ruohan nodded confidently: "I won’t go back this year. After all, every year I go home for the holidays, my parents complain that I don’t do anything around the house."

"Hahaha, isn’t that just the way with young people? My parents used to say the same about me," Ding Yue laughed heartily.

It seems that the parents of every young person are all the same.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Just as Ding Yue finally had some free time to chat with his secretary Wen Ruohan and take a break, the office door was suddenly knocked on urgently.

"Who is it?"

Wen Ruohan was quite puzzled, immediately turned around, and went to the office door. At the doorway stood a department head who wasn’t very familiar, the head of the Biology Department, which Wen Ruohan knew, but not well.

Because the department head of the Biology Department seldom visited Principal Ding’s office.

"Director Yang?"

Wen Ruohan asked: "Are you looking for Principal Ding?"

"Yes, is Principal Ding in?"

Director Yang Xuejin immediately nodded and then asked.

"I am here."

From inside the office, Ding Yue’s voice followed: "Director Yang, please come in. What do you need me for?"

"As New Year’s is upon us, and yet here I am, troubling Principal Ding."

Director Yang Xuejin said somewhat apologetically.

"No worries, we haven’t gone on holiday yet, is there something work-related? Or is it something else?" Ding Yue asked quite calmly.

Director Yang Xuejin was the head of the Biology Department at Mist City Arts and Science University. As for the Biology Department, it was responsible for teaching in the field of biology and, of course, included a portion of biomedical science, thus it was hard to separate the Biology Department from the Medical School.

"Principal Ding, on behalf of the students and teachers of our Biology Department laboratory, I earnestly request research funding!"

Director Yang Xuejin was very direct.

"Research funding?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue frowned slightly and asked: "Director Yang, isn’t the annual research funding for each department ample? Do you have a shortfall?"

Each year, the research funding that Ding Yue allocated to each department was quite generous, hence there were seldom any situations where someone would come to him for financial aid.

Since Professor Yang Xuejin had come, there must be a reason.

Ding Yue was not adverse to listening.

"Principal Ding, our Biology Department’s annual research funding is indeed ample, but... in these past few months, we have made a very important technological breakthrough."

Professor Yang Xuejin said excitedly.

"A very important technological breakthrough? Which technology?" Upon hearing this, Ding Yue’s eyes immediately lit up.

"Neuron sensing technology. This technology was also developed by a group of students and several teachers before, but there hadn’t been any results. However, recently there has been some progress, only we need more funding to update the research equipment and environment."

Professor Yang Xuejin immediately replied.

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue tensed up instantly, his heart somewhat excited as he asked: "Are you sure it’s neuron sensing technology?"

"Yes."

Professor Yang Xuejin nodded very affirmatively and said: "Do you know about this, Principal Ding?"

"Who wouldn’t know about neuron sensing technology? Perhaps many of the world’s biotech companies are developing it now; this technology is also the future." Ding Yue nodded and said: "I never imagined, never imagined that our Biology Department would actually be researching this..."
