Chapter 147: Chapter 144: From Passive to Active (Third Update) _1

On the way back to Mist City Arts and Science University from Mist City airport.

Professor Zhou Wen and Ding Yue had plenty to talk about. Apart from some topics about the Mist City Arts and Science University, what they discussed the most was gallium nitride semiconductor technology.

Of course.

And that much-anticipated advanced physics lab for semiconductor research, which Professor Zhou Wen looked forward to.

By the time they arrived at the Mist City Arts and Science University, it was past one in the afternoon.

Ding Yue quickly arranged for a luncheon to entertain the three professors.

The students of the three professors, being young, were highly interested in a campus hotpot restaurant at Mist City Arts and Science University.

After all, this hotpot restaurant had already become a famous Internet sensation.

However, it was beyond the three elderly professors, including Zhou Wen, why a hotpot restaurant would be so popular.

"Professor, this is a famous internet-famous hotpot restaurant. Many young people come here to post on Twitter," explained one of Professor Zhou’s students.

"Oh, is the taste good? I heard that in Mist City, it’s a waste not to try the authentic hotpot,"

Professor Zhou Wen replied with a laugh.

"Professor Zhou, rest assured. This hotpot restaurant at our university has the authentic Mist City flavor. I have already arranged for tonight, and you can experience it then,"

Ding Yue confidently said.

He believed that the taste of the campus hot pot restaurant would surely win over Professor Zhou’s tastebuds in the evening.

Upon hearing that they could taste the popular campus hotpot in the evening, the three students of the professors were quite excited.

After all, they, as young people, knew how hard it was to eat in this popular campus hotpot restaurant, sometimes it takes a whole day to queue up.

After having lunch.

Everyone took a short break.

Then Ding Yue led Professor Zhou Wen, Prof. Shen Congde, and Professor Wang Shangzhong to the laboratory.

All three professors were looking forward to seeing how advanced this physics and semiconductors laboratory that Ding Yue had mentioned was.

As a private university, as long as the funds were sufficient, they could have such a cutting-edge laboratory, which was clear to Professor Zhou Wen and the others.

Mist City Arts and Science University was just such a wealthy university. It was rumored that they had even spent 150 million yuan on a new library.

"Professors, welcome to the semiconductor research lab of the Mist City Arts and Science University’s Department of Physics."

Ding Yue sincerely invited the three professors to the entrance of the laboratory, and then everyone put on overshoes and entered the laboratory.

As soon as Professor Zhou Wen entered the laboratory, he was excited to see the latest semiconductor research equipment from countries all over the world.

Following that, Professor Shen Congde and Professor Wang Shangzhong also entered. The various equipment in the laboratory caught the eyes of the three professors.

This lab was enough to be called an advanced one, as its equipment was among the top worldwide. It was no easy feat to have such a physics lab for semiconductor research.

The three professors knew that this lab was comparable to those of the National Science Instititution involved in semiconductor material research.

For Professor Zhou Wen, who had been pursuing semiconductor-material research all his life, this was like a magnet, and he was the metal piece.

"Principal Ding, the cost of this laboratory must not be small, right?" Professor Zhou Wen asked excitedly.

Ding Yue calmly smiled and said, "Professor Zhou, our Mist City Arts and Science University is committed to serious education and research innovation. No matter how big the investment, we are willing to make it!"

Ding Yue’s words deeply touched Professor Zhou Wen.

Isn’t this the spirit needed in education? Especially for private universities like Mist City Arts and Science University.

Nowadays, there are too many private universities making money.

Even some public universities are gradually declining.

Ding Yue said so, but in fact, he did not spend a penny on this advanced laboratory, because it was a system reward.

For Ding Yue, the road to education was just that smooth.

As long as he completed the system’s tasks or college development events, he would always get some unexpected reward.

At this moment, Professor Zhou Wen felt a strong urge to carry out semiconductor material research in this lab.

However.

He didn’t know how to propose this to Principal Ding.

Another thing was, Zhou Wen was currently a professor at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology. As a relatively well-known public university, he couldn’t easily switch to Mist City Arts and Science University.

However, it didn’t matter, as someone at Professor Zhou Wen’s level could serve as a professor at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology while also being a professor at Mist City Arts and Science University. This didn’t actually conflict.

Of course.

This required one precondition.

That is, there must be some connection between Jiangnan University of Science and Technology’s Department of Physics and Mist City Arts and Science University’s Department of Physics, such as a cooperative research relationship or similar.

This precondition wasn’t a big problem.

Since Zhou Wen could apply to Jiangnan University of Science and Technology. Though not the dean of the Department of Physics at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, Zhou Wen still had influence.

What’s more, both Professor Shen Congde and Professor Wang Shangzhong would definitely support him.

The biggest question was whether Principal Ding was willing or not.

After all, they had a very advanced laboratory for physics and semiconductors, whether they were willing to share was indeed up to Principal Ding.

After all, this is a private university.

Since they are here for a visit, Professor Zhou Wen decided to focus on touring around, and as for the matter he just thought of, it would be better to discuss it with Principal Ding at an appropriate time.

Being in his late fifties to early sixties, Professor Zhou Wen certainly understands the ways of the world.

That’s why,

Right now, he was only focused on carefully visiting this treasure-like advanced physics and semiconductor materials laboratory.

Professor Shen Congde and Professor Wang Shangzhong were in the same condition.

From the moment they entered, it was as if they had found a massive treasure.

Unfortunately, this treasure was not theirs.

But their desire for the treasure was tremendous.

Because their field of research is semiconductor materials, and they had not made any significant breakthroughs for a long time.

The present research on gallium nitride semiconductor materials is a good direction for breakthroughs.

However, due to their lack of a laboratory to implement the use of gallium nitride semiconductor materials, they could only sigh in frustration.

But now, such a lab was right in front of them, and they were standing right inside it.

Every piece of equipment in the lab is what they have been longing for.

The visit lasted nearly two hours as the three professors and Ding Yue discussed and explored various lab equipment in relation to gallium nitride semiconductor materials.

For a moment, the lab was full of a vibrant academic exchange atmosphere.

Only Wen Ruohan was yawning non-stop.

As a student majoring in secretarial studies, how could she understand the discussions between Principal Ding, a physics major, and three physics professors?

Knowledge of natural sciences was essentially a sedative for Wen Ruohan!

"Ah~"

Wen Ruohan kept yawning.

The key issue was that she had to ensure her yawns were not too obvious, otherwise, if Principal Ding noticed, he would certainly criticize her.

Even if Principal Ding didn’t see it, if the three professors did, it could also potentially be considered rude behaviour.

Finally, the chat and tour with Principal Ding and three professors ended.

Wen Ruohan initially thought she had escaped from her drowsy torment, but reality proved that Wen Ruohan was being overly optimistic.

Professor Zhou Wen proposed to have a more in-depth discussion about the paper in Principal Ding’s office.

Of course, Ding Yue agreed.

So with no choice, Wen Ruohan had to follow Principal Ding and the three professors back to the principal’s office.

The first thing Wen Ruohan did when she returned to the principal’s office was to brew a cup of Principal Ding’s finest tea for the three professors.

Then they moved onto more than two hours of academic discussion on physics.

Wen Ruohan was going crazy!

It looked like Principal Ding planned to discuss with the three professors for the entire afternoon.

But why,

Why was she the one suffering? She couldn’t understand anything they were discussing and had to pretend to be knowledgeable by standing next to Principal Ding.

Wu Wu Wu o(╥﹏╥)o

Ding Yue, on the other hand, was more than happy to engage in various academic discussions in the field of semiconductors with the three professors.

Because doing so allowed Ding Yue to fully demonstrate his knowledge reserve, and let the three professors know that he was not simple.

Sure enough,

Ding Yue’s goal was achieved.

During the discussion, the three professors praised Ding Yue more than once as the most outstanding physics student they had ever seen, even better than their postgraduate students.

No wonder he could write the paper titled "About the Development and Application of Gallium Nitride in the Field of Semiconductor Materials".

The irony was,

While Ding Yue was repeatedly praised by the three professors of physics here,

On the Internet,

Netizens were doubting Ding Yue’s thesis defense passionately.

After the academic discussion on the field of physics and semiconductors was more or less wrapped up, Ding Yue complained to the three professors about the online scrutiny his graduation thesis was subjected to.

"Principal Ding, it’s hard to believe that an outstanding new talent in physics like you would be doubted in this manner by netizens," Professor Shen Congde said in disbelief.

That’s when Professor Wang Shangzhong explained, "On the Internet, especially on Twitter, the literacy rate is quite low, which may be why Principal Ding is being attacked and questioned."

"Wouldn’t this damage your reputation, Principal Ding?"

Professor Zhou Wen sighed reluctantly and shook his head. Perhaps if he spoke out about this matter, it could help Principal Ding against the attacks and doubts of netizens. He pulled out his phone and made a phone call...
