Chapter 1493: Chapter 790: Is It Still Possible to Join Now? (Please Subscribe)_2

"Alright, everyone please take a seat. Has everyone almost arrived?" Ding Yue made his way to the center of the hall, checked the seating at various tables, which were mostly full, save for a few empty spots that might belong to those who hadn’t arrived yet.

Everyone was sitting at their tables, with a lavish array of dishes laid out before them. There were spicy Sichuan cuisine dishes, Buddha’s Temptation, and a variety of delicacies from different culinary traditions—a feast for the taste buds indeed.

At their sides were either their close friends or girlfriends, and in that moment, each of them had smiles on their faces.

"Tonight, we all gather here together, and I believe it’s probably the first time we’ve all done so in the many years we’ve been working on the photolithography machine experiment project,"

Ding Yue said to the crowd with a smile.

What Ding Yue said was true; although everyone was part of the photolithography machine experiment team, due to the project’s involvement of numerous specializations, members usually worked on technical research related to their own expertise and rarely had the chance to collaborate directly.

"Thanks to all of your concerted efforts, Mist City Arts and Science University has achieved unbelievably impressive results, truly exhilarating results. Now, we have mastered the 5-nanometer chip technology; we can proudly stand tall with our own chip backbone!"

As he spoke, Ding Yue became impassioned and spirited.

This matter was indeed something to stir the blood.

"Damn, Principal Ding is truly Principal Ding. His ability to deliver a speech is absolutely incredible!"

"Honestly, I’ve seen quite a few speeches, but I feel like Principal Ding’s are the most impactful!"

"It’s just too powerful."

"I don’t know why, but I also feel a surge of enthusiasm."

"Exactly, this is a glory shared by all of us!"

"It makes me want to hit the books hard and then go research chips."

"Propelling scientific advancement is a duty we cannot shirk!"

It has to be said, many netizens and viewers were touched by Ding Yue’s speech – such was the powerful influence of his oratory as a university principal!

"To thank all of you for your contributions to our chip endeavors, we’ve prepared a celebration banquet tonight as a treat for everyone. Additionally, the university has also arranged a lottery wheel activity, the very same wheel everyone learned about earlier. Whether you’ll win a great prize depends on your luck, hahaha."

Suddenly, Ding Yue switched styles, going from the previous fervor to a light-hearted and hearty laugh.

"When does the lottery start?"

"I’m already rubbing my hands in anticipation."

"The luckiest person today will surely be me."

"Principal Ding, may I start eating now?"

The students asked one after another.

"Eat, eat, eat to your heart’s content. As for the lottery draw, let’s do it a bit later, shall we? I have another announcement to make," Ding Yue said calmly to the students.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Principal Ding, wondering what else he had to announce.

The viewers in the Mist City Arts and Science University’s live broadcast room were also looking forward expectantly.

In this momentous day of celebration, nearly everyone, aside from the university community, was reveling in the joy of mastering the technology for the 5-nanometer chips.

Of course, as the old saying goes, some rejoice while others grieve.

All across the land, countless people were rejoicing, but across the sea, many many many were filled with sorrow.

Now that Mist City Arts and Science University had developed and mastered the independent technology for 5-nanometer chips, any future overseas suppression of Eastern chips by other countries would no longer be effective.

In fact, the Mercedes-Benz automotive group announced on the same day that due to some unavoidable circumstances, they had to temporarily halt their new energy vehicle.

No one was fooled.

Previously, when Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles were being suppressed in the international market, Mercedes-Benz had jumped at the chance to seize the market before Feiyue Future New Energy could pose a significant threat, joining forces with BMW and Audi.

However, just today, after Mist City Arts and Science University announced that they had mastered the 5nm chip technology, Mercedes-Benz directly declared the cancellation of their latest 5nm chip new energy vehicle project. Mercedes-Benz knows very well that even if they use the 5nm chip to produce new energy vehicles, they are simply no match for the Feiyue Group’s equivalent 5nm chip Feiyue Future New Energy vehicles, like an inferior brother unable to compete.

Therefore, Mercedes-Benz had no choice but to cancel the development of its latest new energy vehicle project, otherwise, they would just be giving away free points.

With Mercedes-Benz having made their stance clear, the following BMW and Audi naturally played it smart as well.

If Mercedes-Benz isn’t playing the tough guy giving away free points, then why should BMW and Audi do so, right? Hence, following Mercedes-Benz’s announcement, BMW and Audi also sequentially announced the suspension of their 5nm chip technology new energy vehicles.

This left Island Electromechanical Company, which had been extremely ecstatic, totally stunned.

After all, if Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi were to make 5nm chip new energy vehicles, then the chips would certainly be manufactured by Island Electromechanical. The potential orders, especially for 5nm chips, would have been too good to be true.

Over at Mist City Arts and Science University.

The celebration party had just begun, and aside from the lucky prize wheel event, Ding Yue had another piece of news to announce to everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your contributions and hard work on the photolithography machine project. Gratitude shouldn’t be just lip service."

Ding Yue calmly said to everyone: "Therefore, the university has decided to allocate 100 in funds as a bonus for your efforts on the photolithography machine project over the years, and we also hope that everyone will strive harder in the future photolithography machine projects, aiming to achieve even greater research outcomes!"

As soon as Ding Yue’s words were spoken, the room fell into an instant silence.

Many students thought they’d misheard.

billion?

Are you sure it’s 10 billion?

That’s right!

The students confirmed that what Principal Ding said was 10 billion, not one million!

"Holy shit, 10 billion in bonuses?"

"Awesome!"

"Is this Mist City Arts and Science University? I am in love!"

"This is the first time I’ve seen a tech company give so much in bonuses to researchers!"

"Holy shit, how many people are on the photolithography machine project? 10 billion in bonuses?"

"How much does each person get from that split?"

"Did I hear 10 billion correctly?"

"Those researchers who developed the 5nm chips and the photolithography machines, they deserve it!"

"That 10 billion is worth it!"

"They absolutely deserve the 10 billion!"

In a matter of moments, Mist City Arts and Science University’s live streaming room was abuzz again, as countless online viewers exclaimed that the researchers participating in the photolithography machine project deserved the 10 billion.

Moreover, lots of viewers were giving likes to Principal Ding, thinking that the 10 billion had truly warmed the hearts of all the scientific researchers!

At this point, there were already several million viewers in the Mist City Arts and Science University live streaming room, quickly approaching ten million viewers. To ensure stability for this broadcast, the university’s computer science department even dispatched a team to monitor the servers, since it was a broadcast from their own Feiyue Home streaming media platform, and it would be extremely embarrassing if the stream crashed during the live broadcast.

Ding Yue wanted even more viewers to know about the 10 billion in bonuses that Mist City Arts and Science University was awarding to the photolithography machine project’s researchers.

Because Ding Yue had already thought about it before, he wanted everyone to know and understand a principle: that this is not a world obsessed with entertainment, where only the entertainment industry can rake in a massive amount of money.

In the field of scientific research, researchers can also receive a substantial amount of compensation, to truly reflect the value of each individual!

That’s right, Ding Yue wanted to correct such a value perception!

"This 10 billion in bonuses will be shared among all the team members involved in the photolithography machine project!" Ding Yue said earnestly to the teachers and students in the hall.
