Starting from a Fake University-Chapter 1614 - 851: Fantasies Under the Starry Sky

We won.

As expected.

But it also felt a bit unexpected.

Ding Yue lay on the picnic blanket, hands behind his head, in a cheerful mood as he gazed at the vast expanse of stars before him.

Every star was so dazzling.

Only in the highlands could one witness such a pristine night sky. In the big cities, if you look up, apart from the faint glow of the moon, it’s nearly impossible to see other stars.

"Ah! I knew the Feiyue Team would take this easily."

Beside him, Huang Youjie also lay down, hands cushioning the back of his head.

Quickly following were Xu Bin, Zhang Yu, and Lin Zhirou, all lying down as well. At this moment, everyone was together, staring up at the star-studded sky. The beautiful and radiant stars held a timeless allure.

"What a stunning night sky."

Zhang Yu couldn’t help but sigh. "In the city, I’ve never seen such pure, clear stars."

"Exactly."

Ding Yue added, "The pollution in cities is still too severe. Only places like Gaozang’s highlands, with air so clean, can show you such clear and magnificent starlit skies."

"Yue, don’t you think it’d be amazing if there was some futuristic tech to solve pollution and purify the air?"

Huang Youjie once again let his "extraordinary" imagination take flight.

"Isn’t there already an air purifier?"

Xu Bin responded calmly.

"Air purifier? What good is that? It can only clean the air in one room. Are we supposed to design a giant air purifier for the entire city?"

Huang Youjie shot back with a retort.

In his mind, the revolutionary technology for air purification had to be far beyond a simple air purifier.

However...

Ding Yue suddenly chuckled and said, "It’s not entirely impossible. Huang, what you just mentioned—installing giant air purifiers in cities—could actually purify urban air."

"How big would it have to be? There are so many cars in the city."

Zhang Yu couldn’t help but start imagining.

Just how large would an air purifier need to be to cleanse a city’s air and allow its citizens to see a sky full of sparkling stars?

"Actually, with the gradual adoption of Feiyue New Energy Vehicles in the future, and more people abandoning fuel-powered cars for electric ones, I think the air quality in cities will improve significantly over time."

Lin Zhirou spoke with hopeful anticipation.

This was indeed a major trend. More and more people were choosing to leave behind traditional fuel vehicles. Nowadays, it could be said that except for those who already owned fuel cars and lacked the financial means to buy a second vehicle, the vast majority of car owners had chosen Xia Country’s domestically produced electric vehicles—Feiyue · Future.

"The creation of our Feiyue · Future New Energy Vehicles is precisely in line with the goal of carbon neutrality."

Ding Yue smiled and said, "But the concept of a city purifier is genuinely intriguing. If there’s ever an opportunity, I’d like to try building one."

"In Mist City or Shu City?"

Xu Bin inquired.

Ding Yue understood why Bin had asked. Mist City got its name precisely because, for most of the 365 days of the year, it was shrouded in mist. And now, thanks to severe urban pollution, the mist issue had grown far more complicated.

Shu City, however, spoke for itself, being infamously known for its smog. It had trended online numerous times because of its air quality issues.

"Either works."

Ding Yue grinned as he spoke.

For now, it was just an "idea." A massive urban air purifier would require unknown technology, but that wouldn’t be a problem for Ding Yue.

All he needed to do was research the necessary technology, then either discover it himself or directly exchange for it in the system marketplace.

But that was for another time.

Ding Yue wasn’t in a rush to develop some urban air purifier just yet. First, he wanted to enjoy this road trip. After that, he would return to Mist City Arts and Science University.

Once back at Mist City Arts and Science University, if the right moment came, Ding Yue would certainly consider dedicating some energy to developing that urban air purifier.

"Yue, I remember you once said that our journey is to the stars and the seas. Do you think, within our lifetime, we’ll have the chance to explore the vast cosmos?"

Xu Bin suddenly posed the question with unrestricted imagination. "I really want to see the grand, magnificent universe out there."

"Who wouldn’t?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Huang Youjie muttered, "The true romance of a man is in the stars and the seas."

Zhang Yu had heard before that men often dreamed of the boundless stars and seas. Now, it seemed to be confirmed. Both Director Huang and Director Xu deeply yearned for the stars and the seas.

But what about Principal Ding—did he, too, dream of the stars and seas?

"Of course."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ding Yue’s lips as he said, "Within our lifetime, we will undoubtedly leave the solar system to pursue the vast universe."

Wow!

Principal Ding, too, loved the stars and seas. He even wanted to leave the solar system to experience the infinite universe—what an incredibly romantic ambition!

Zhang Yu didn’t know why, but perhaps under Principal Ding’s influence, she, too, found herself inspired with an endless yearning and fascination for the infinite cosmos.

"Really now."

Huang Youjie teased. "If we want to leave the solar system, first we’ll need to build a spaceship. And the spaceship’s engine can’t be weak. At the very least, it’ll need nuclear power to start with. But not nuclear fission—only nuclear fusion, which is the safest and most efficient. The only problem is that humanity doesn’t yet have mastery over nuclear fusion. If we’re waiting for that... the odds seem pretty slim."
