Chapter 1084: Chapter 588: Investing 2 Billion in Aerospace Specialty (Seeking Subscriptions)

The busy schedule of Mist City’s Governor Li made it tough to find free time to meet with Ding Yue recently.

Therefore, the meeting with Governor Li was ultimately scheduled for a week later.

This meant that they had to let Director Qi Chunsheng complete his surgery first, as that was currently Ding Yue’s most pressing matter, followed by the visit to the Mist City Government to see Governor Li.

The matters Ding Yue needed to discuss with Governor Li this time were numerous and important, so adequate time was needed for the meeting. It couldn’t be just a quick discussion over a meal like the last time they met.

However, before Director Qi Chunsheng’s surgery, there was another matter that Ding Yue took very seriously.

It was the visit by the expert team from the National Space Administration to Mist City Arts and Science University.

Indeed.

Two days later, the National Space Administration notified both Mist City Arts and Science University and the Mist City Education Department, informing them that their professorial team would be arriving at Mist City by flight today.

Director Xiao Wenxing of the Mist City Education Department had already communicated with Ding Yue about this well in advance.

The group coming to visit included expert professors from the National Space Administration, who were the Taishan Beidou level experts of Xia Country’s aerospace industry.

As the director of the Mist City Education Department, Xiao Wenxing naturally had to provide support to Principal Ding.

This time, Ding Yue and the staff from the Mist City Education Department went directly to Mist City airport to receive the visitors.

Meanwhile, at the university, arrangements had been made by the canteen and logistics departments. The apartment for the expert inspection team from the National Space Administration had already been prepared by Huang Youjie and his team.

At the same time, Yuping’s mother, Zhang Yuping, who managed the Fifth Canteen, also specially prepared local dishes. In terms of food, they were neither extravagant nor simple, but they were sure to satisfy the expert professors from the National Space Administration.

As scientists from the National Space Administration usually led simple lives, they weren’t fond of luxurious dining, which worked out well since the Mist City Arts and Science University’s cafeteria didn’t offer luxury, but rather simple and plain dishes of first-rate taste.

Ding Yue arranged for a large bus from the school to go to the airport, welcoming the arrival of the expert team from the National Space Administration.

Professors like Qian Jianlin, Zuo Tinghui, and Wang Shi were well-known aerospace scientists in the country.

Beyond them, the list of the inspection team also included Professors like Pang Shicheng, Guan Peiqiang, Ji Min, and Yang Zhuoyuan, who were the backbone of the National Space Administration.

This "luxurious" group’s arrival at Mist City Arts and Science University was indeed a remarkable honor.

This showed that the National Space Administration was very serious about fostering talent in the field of aerospace.

In Xia Country, besides a few specialized aerospace universities, the aerospace programs in other universities were generally not prominent, let alone in private colleges.

But Mist City Arts and Science University was different.

In the field of private institutions, the achievements it had made in recent years were absolutely jaw-dropping.

Even the key public universities might not match the scientific research accomplishments of Mist City Arts and Science University, which the nation had gradually started to pay attention to.

Of course.

The National Space Administration decided to send such a large team of experts to Mist City Arts and Science University partly because of the university’s recent collaboration with Xia Science Institution’s Solar Research Institute to create the latest graphene solar photovoltaic panels for the Zhu Rong project.

Graphene material’s applications in the aerospace field are also wide-ranging and extremely important.

The main reason Professors Qian Jianlin, Zuo Tinghui, and Wang Shi were visiting Mist City Arts and Science University this time was to assess the prospects of graphene material applications in the aerospace industry.

Otherwise, they really had no reason to be at Mist City Arts and Science University.

...

At Mist City airport, inside the exit terminal building,

Ding Yue, Director Xiao Wenxing, and Director Song Wankong from the Aerospace Academy of Mist City Arts and Science University, among others, were waiting for the arrival of Professors Qian Jianlin, Zuo Tinghui, and Wang Shi.

According to the flight’s schedule, there should be about twenty minutes left until their arrival.

Ding Yue and his party had come an hour earlier.

"Principal Ding, do you feel confident about convincing elite professors like Qian Jianlin, Zuo Tinghui, and Wang Shi to stay this time?"

Director Xiao Wenxing approached Ding Yue and struck up a conversation about this matter.

"Ah, to be honest, there is no absolute certainty, as our Aerospace Academy at Mist City Arts and Science University is like a high-rise building that has risen from flat ground, and right now, we are still at ground level without a high-rise. How could Professors Qian Jianlin, Zuo Tinghui, and Wang Shi be willing to stay?"

Ding Yue shrugged his shoulders, indicating it would probably be very difficult.

After all, Professors Qian Jianlin, Zuo Tinghui, and Wang Shi had their identities as scientists at the National Space Administration, as well as professors at Yancheng’s aerospace universities.

All of these were several notches higher in status compared to being a professor at the Aerospace Academy of Mist City Arts and Science University, weren’t they?

This time, Ding Yue’s expectations weren’t high; if he could just invite one or two of these esteemed scientists from the National Space Administration to give a talk and hold a symposium at his university each year, that would be sufficient.

To really persuade Professors Qian Jianlin, Zuo Tinghui, and Wang Shi to stay, Ding Yue would have to work even harder.
