Chapter 1294: Chapter 691: National Institute of Lithography! (Please Subscribe)_2
Even sometimes, when I see some comments, I get all fired up.
Because Ding Yue also wanted to see Xia Country grow stronger in the semiconductor chip field, there would surely come a day when foreign powers wouldn’t be able to choke its development, maybe even surpass them in a curve; that day would surely come.
Knock, knock, knock!
Just as Ding Yue was engrossed in reading online comments, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
Secretary Wen Ruohan spoke.
Ding Yue, being too absorbed, hadn’t heard the knock at all.
"Ruohan."
The person who entered wasn’t Director Qi Chunsheng, nor was it An Yujia, but someone Wen Ruohan somewhat unexpectedly.
In the whole Mist City Arts and Science University, there weren’t many who would call her "Ruohan."
The beautiful young girl who entered was none other than Principal Ding’s younger sister, the top genius of Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Xiaoyou.
"Xiao You."
Wen Ruohan showed a surprised smile when she saw Ding Xiaoyou and then turned to Ding Yue, who was still earnestly reading the online comments, saying, "Principal Ding, your sister’s here."
"Ah?"
Ding Yue came back to his senses, looked up towards the door, and saw his sister Ding Xiaoyou standing there: "Xiao You, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be... in the lab?"
Ding Yue knew that his sister, Ding Xiaoyou, wouldn’t normally be anywhere but the lab nowadays.
"I got tired from the experiments, can’t I come and chat with you?"
Ding Xiaoyou pouted and rolled her eyes at her brother.
"Gee."
Ding Yue was completely taken aback; his sister Ding Xiaoyou said she came to chat, but why couldn’t he believe that was all?
Normally, if his sister Ding Xiaoyou came to him, it definitely meant she needed something.
Under normal circumstances, Ding Yue would directly ask his sister what she wanted.
However, today, feeling good, Ding Yue decided to beat around the bush a bit with his sister Ding Xiaoyou.
"Alright, I’m free now, and we haven’t had a good chat in a while."
Ding Yue shrugged, spread his hands, and smiled, asking his sister Ding Xiaoyou, "What would you like to drink? I’ll have Big White make some tea for you."
"Pfft."
Ding Xiaoyou pursed her lips, walked forward, and sat directly in the chair in front of the principal’s desk, then said to Big White, "Big White, Big White."
"I’m here."
Big White responded.
"Play ’Blue and White Porcelain’ for me."
Ding Xiaoyou directly ignored her brother Ding Yue and started interacting with Big White.
Gee.
This really threw Ding Yue for a loop. Weren’t you here to chat with me? How come you suddenly started interacting with Big White?
"Okay."
After Big White responded, it immediately opened the Feiyue Home streaming media platform, as the song "Blue and White Porcelain" by Lin Zhirou could now only be heard there.
"The greenish-white outline emerges from the porcelain..."
The ancient-style song "Blue and White Porcelain" began to play in Ding Yue’s office.
"Big White, make a cup of jasmine tea for Xiao You."
Ding Yue instructed Big White, sending it off to work.
Then, Ding Yue walked up, stood behind the chair where his sister Ding Xiaoyou was sitting, and said, "You rascal, you barge in here instead of doing your proper work in the lab, spill it, what’s the matter?"
Initially, Ding Yue had planned to indirectly bring up the topic with his sister Ding Xiaoyou, but this girl had confused him, so he went straight to the point.
"Hehehe, that’s why you’re my brother, you know me so well."
Ding Xiaoyou giggled.
"Tell me, are you short on money?"
Ding Yue rolled his eyes and asked.
When Ding Xiaoyou usually sought her sibling out, it was either for some pocket money or because she wanted to add some big equipment to her laboratory; otherwise, she wouldn’t come to her sibling personally.
If it was for pocket money, then it was no problem.
The last thing Ding Yue lacked was money.
If it were for some big equipment in the laboratory, Ding Yue wouldn’t hesitate either, because providing her sister, Ding Xiaoyou, with major equipment naturally had many benefits.
After all, with Ding Xiaoyou’s super academic prowess, who knows what kind of surprise she might produce.
"Um..."
Ding Xiaoyu paused, then said, "Actually, it’s not that I need money, I just want..."
Just as Ding Xiaoyou was halfway through her sentence, Big White suddenly reminded, "Principal, you have a call."
"Uh."
Ding Yue looked at Big White and said, "If it’s not an important call, we can talk about it later."
After all, Ding Yue just wanted to know what matter her sister Ding Xiaoyou wanted to discuss.
"It’s a very important call from the National Photolithography Research Institute."
Big White explained.
"What?"
On hearing this, Ding Yue exclaimed in surprise, "From where?"
"The National Photolithography Research Institute!"
Big White responded.
"Uh!"
Ding Yue immediately looked at his sister Ding Xiaoyou and said, smiling, "Little sister, can you wait for a moment? I need to take this call; I suppose what you want to say isn’t urgent, right?"
"Um, take your call."
Ding Xiaoyou didn’t say much, stood up, walked over, took the cup of jasmine tea from Big White’s hand, and took a sip.
Ding Yue then returned to his seat, picked up the cellphone, and glanced at the caller ID.
It indeed was a special call, although Ding Yue didn’t know from its first glance where it was from, but Big White had just mentioned that it was from the National Photolithography Research Institute.
If Ding Yue didn’t answer the call immediately, Big White would promptly notify him of the incoming call and could, through its "abilities," identify where the call was from.
For instance, this number that looked a bit like a "scam call"; if Ding Yue hadn’t known it was from the National Photolithography Research Institute, he might have treated it as a junk scam call.
Thank goodness for Big White.
"Hello, this is Ding Yue, Principal of Mist City Arts and Science University, may I ask who this is?"
Ding Yue immediately answered the call.
"Principal Ding, hello, this is Wan Fuchuan, the director of the National Photolithography Research Institute."
From the phone, came the voice of a middle-aged man.
Wan Fuchuan, this name rang a bell immediately for Ding Yue.
After all, having hosted numerous photonic technology experiments and working in the semiconductor field for many years at Mist City Arts and Science University, how could Ding Yue not recognize this name?
Wan Fuchuan was a legend in the fields of photolithography and semiconductors in Xia Country, currently serving as the director of Xia Country’s National Photolithography Research Institute, and an academician of the National Science Institution!
"Academician Wan!"
Ding Yue said excitedly, "Academician Wan, what made you think of calling me?"
Ding Yue more or less knew the reason why Academician Wan Fuchuan had called him.
After all, the 14-nanometer process technology photolithography machine had already been domestically produced by Guoxing Technology Group, and the core technology was from Mist City Arts and Science University.
Also, Mist City Arts and Science University had registered various photolithography machine patent technologies with the National Patent Office in the past two years, and if the National Photolithography Research Institute hadn’t made a move by now, it really couldn’t be justified.
Furthermore, Ding Yue always believed that Mist City Arts and Science University’s status as a national key university, besides the graphene technology industry and new energy vehicle technology industry, must also be related to the achievements in photolithography experiments.
Because, before the end of the year, Ding Yue had already reached a consensus with Guoxing Technology Group regarding the 14-nanometer photolithography machine technology.
"Haha, Principal Ding, I called you because I wanted to inquire about the photolithography machine experimental project at Mist City Arts and Science University."
Academician Wan Fuchuan said warmly.
"Ah, sure, Academician Wan, ask whatever you want, I will answer all I know," Ding Yue immediately said.
Being able to connect even slightly with the National Photolithography Research Institute would bring numerous benefits to Mist City Arts and Science University!
