Yancheng, Solar Energy Research Institute at Xia Science Institution.

Inside an office.

Academician Zhao Jianwang of the Solar Energy Research Institute was looking over a document about the structure of the solar panels for the solar-powered Mars rovers Xia Country planned to send to Mars.

"Zhao, what are you looking at?"

Another academician walked into the office, a man in his fifties who was also a key member of the Solar Energy Research Institute, Peng Changjun.

"The solar panel structure document for the Zhu Rong Mars Rover, I’ve looked it over, and as a whole, the Zhu Rong Mars Rover will definitely have no problems completing basic explorations on Mars using solar power charging. However, the Aerospace Bureau, as well as other scientific research departments, have many research projects they want the Zhu Rong Mars Rover to complete on Mars. This sets a very high standard for the power requirements of the Zhu Rong Mars Rover," Zhao Jianwang analyzed.

"If I remember correctly, doesn’t the Zhu Rong have three months left before it launches to Mars?"

Peng Changjun thought for a bit and said, "Moreover, the battery and solar panels of the Zhu Rong Mars Rover were reviewed by our Solar Energy Research Institute, and we even provided some suggestions, didn’t we?"

"Yes."

Zhao Jianwang nodded, but now the Martian exploration project required increasingly more scientific research. They were in a race with America.

"So you’re thinking, see if we can further optimize the solar panels on the Zhu Rong Mars Rover, so it can complete more scientific research projects on Mars, right?"

Peng Changjun immediately saw through Zhao’s thoughts.

"Isn’t that so."

Zhao Jianwang indeed had this idea.

If the Zhu Rong Mars Rover could have better energy supply, it would be able to carry out more scientific exploration projects on Mars, thereby accelerating Xia Country’s exploration of Mars and even preparing for future manned landings on Mars.

As a researcher, this was naturally inescapable.

But Zhao Jianwang had repeatedly examined the current situation of the Zhu Rong Mars Rover. The solar panels it used were already the most advanced technology currently available in the country.

"Zhao, not sure if you’ve heard, but there’s a university in our country that has made significant technological breakthroughs in the field of graphene and has been nominated for the National Science and Technology Award," Peng Changjun said, reminding Zhao who was so dedicated.

When Zhao Jianwang heard the word "graphene," he showed no great surprise.

For top researchers in Xia Country like them, materials like graphene were not uncommon; even the Solar Energy Research Institute was capable of producing high-purity graphene.

Moreover.

The solar panels of the Zhu Rong Mars Rover were indeed made of graphene.

It’s just that the graphene used was not the best available because, with the current domestic technology, it was impossible to produce graphene materials with near 100% purity.

"It’s highly unlikely that the graphene produced by a university would meet the standards we need," Zhao said, shaking his head. "The solar panels on the Zhu Rong Mars Rover are already made of graphene solar panels, aren’t they?"

"I wouldn’t be so sure about that," Peng Changjun suddenly said seriously.

"What do you mean by that, Peng?" Zhao Jianwang asked in surprise, looking at Peng Changjun.

It seemed as though the graphene technology from this domestic university might produce better graphene.

"Recently, our Solar Energy Research Institute received a new project, which is to establish a graphene solar power station in collaboration with Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group. This project is expected to be completed within the next year," Peng Changjun said immediately. "I’ve seen the materials provided by Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group regarding the graphene solar photovoltaic panels made of graphene. They are extremely efficient in converting light energy into electrical energy, and this might not even be the best graphene material they have. I’m thinking, since Mist City Arts and Science University is capable of being nominated for the National Science and Technology Award, maybe we could..."

"Do you really believe in a privately-run university?"

Zhao Jianwang asked, frowning.

"Hard to say," Peng Changjun shook his head and said, "These past two years, Mist City Arts and Science University has really had something impressive, and you are well aware of their previous collaboration with the Semiconductor Materials Research Institute."

"Peng, do you have the contact number for Mist City Arts and Science University?"

After some thought, Zhao Jianwang asked Peng Changjun with an eager gaze.

...

Mist City, at the high-tech industrial park.

Wen Ruohan had just finished a phone call from Wang Liwu of Guoxing Technology Group outside the cafeteria.

When Wang Liwu learned that Principal Ding was talking to Governor Li of Mist City, he told Wen Ruohan to have Principal Ding return his call after the conversation with Governor Li was over.

After all, Wang Liwu didn’t dare to interrupt the conversation between Principal Ding and Governor Li.

After ending the call, Wen Ruohan returned to the cafeteria, then leaned towards Principal Ding and whispered, "Principal Ding, that was Mr. Wang from Guoxing Technology Group on the phone."

"Understood."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue nodded slightly.

"What’s the matter, Principal Ding, is there something urgent?" Governor Li, noticing Ding Yue talk in hushed tones with his secretary, asked with curiosity.

"Ah no, Governor Li, it was Mr. Wang from Guoxing Technology who was looking for me. I was planning to collaborate with the military and aerospace industries on graphene, and since Mr. Wang of Guoxing Technology had a previous collaborative project with our Feiyue Group in the chip sector, I was intending to ask Mr. Wang to introduce me to the military this morning."
