Chapter 403: Chapter 252: Holding onto a Thigh (First update for subscription)_1

"Damn, why didn’t you wake me up earlier when so many big shots are looking for me?!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue was dumbfounded.

When Wen Ruohan mentioned the first few names, Ding Yue didn’t think much of it.

Principal Zhao Siming from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology called him, surely he just wanted to congratulate him?

After all, the mature research results of the third generation semiconductor materials this time were realized through the joint research of Mist City Arts and Science University and three professors from their Jiangnan University of Science and Technology.

Then there was Editor Hu from NTS News, and the deputy director of Mist City TV station. Undoubtedly, as television media, they would want to interview him.

The mature application of third generation semiconductor materials has more or less promoted the domestic semiconductor industry. This counts as tech news, so it was expected that the NTS TV station would want to conduct an interview.

The Mist City TV station goes without saying, it was certainly worth celebrating and reporting when a local university accomplished such a feat.

Then there was Director Xiao Wenxing from the Education Bureau. Mist City Arts and Science University was under the administration of the Mist City Education Bureau. As the director, Xiao Wenxing was quite optimistic about the development of this privately run university. Surprisingly, not long after his last visit to Mist City Arts and Science University, the university had a new achievement.

Xiao Wenxing was very pleased, so he called Ding Yue to congratulate him on his research breakthrough in the field of semiconductor materials, and to encourage Mist City Arts and Science University to continue striving!

However, no one answered when Xiao Wenxing called Ding Yue.

Later, Xiao Wenxing’s secretary reached out to Ding Yue’s secretary Wen Ruohan, and only then learned that Principal Ding had pulled an all-nighter in the lab and was resting now.

It was no surprise to Ding Yue that any of these people, whether they were university principals, news TV station editors or deputy directors, or Education Bureau directors, were looking for him.

The key was the people who were looking for him afterwards, which was quite important to Ding Yue.

First was Lei Ren, the chairman of Dami Technology. Ding Yue had a deep impression of Dami Technology. He had seen Dami Technology’s product launch when he participated in the National Robotics Competition and National Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition last time.

At that product launch, Dami Technology had released a transparent screen that had managed to turn quite a few heads.

It had to be said that Dami Technology did a decent job in terms of innovation in electronic products.

Without a doubt, many of Dami Technology’s products involve the field of semiconductor materials, and they have always cooperated with foreign semiconductor material companies.

Now that there is mature third generation gallium nitride semiconductor material technology in the country, why should they continue to cooperate with foreign companies?

After all, cooperating with foreign companies would never reduce costs.

Therefore, Ding Yue guessed that Lei Ren, the chairman of Dami Technology, was looking for him for some matters regarding the cooperation on gallium nitride semiconductor materials!

Then there was Mr. Wang Liwu, the CEO of Guoxing Technology.

Just like Lei Ren, the chairman of Dami Technology, he must want to discuss cooperation matters.

After all, the gallium nitride semiconductor materials developed by Ding Yue and Professor Zhou Wen are very suitable for making gallium nitride chips.

Guoxing Technology is renowned domestically as a chip manufacturer!

Each chip of the healthcare robot at Mist City Arts and Science University was ordered from Guoxing Technology.

And moreover!

Even if Guoxing Technology didn’t look for Ding Yue, Ding Yue would look for Guoxing Technology.

Because after realizing the mature application of gallium nitride semiconductor material technology, Ding Yue wanted to upgrade Big White, the 1st robot (●—●), with a stronger chip to experiment with "artificial intelligence".

Therefore, Ding Yue needed to cooperate with Guoxing Technology to manufacture a new gallium nitride chip for him.

However, the chip manufacturing process of Guoxing Technology is not advanced enough, as it is only at the level of mass producing 28nm chips. The 14nm production line is just being set up, and for 10nm and even 7nm chips, Guoxing Technology in Xia Country needs to make continuous progress to realize mass production.

Not to mention the manufacturing of chips using even more advanced 5nm and 2nm process technology.

Regardless, Ding Yue still chose Guoxing Technology to manufacture the gallium nitride chip he wanted.

Mist City Arts and Science University is planning a lithography machine experimental project, aiming to develop and manufacture advanced lithography machines to achieve better chip process technology.

But for now, they are still in the stage of drafting the experimental project plan and it is unclear how long it will take to succeed.

So, at this stage, Mist City Arts and Science University is not capable of manufacturing its own chips.

Therefore, Ding Yue has no choice but to cooperate with Guoxing Technology.

And Guoxing Technology’s initiative to look for him is obviously because the application of gallium nitride semiconductor materials to chips can make the chip features more efficient.

For all these big shots looking for him, Ding Yue could somewhat guess why.

But then!

The commander from the Western Military Region was also looking for him?

Ding Yue: ?????

Besides, we also need Meng Xueyan, the director of the Semiconductor Material Research Institute of the Xia Country Academy of Sciences!

He’s indeed a big-shot figure!

"Principal Ding, this is...considering that we couldn’t disturb your sleep and rest," Wen Ruohan said a little grievously.

"Alright, alright, I don’t mean to blame you." Ding Yue shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Did these big shots say why they were looking for me?"

"Some said, some didn’t. Some asked to contact them after you woke up, Principal Ding,"

Wen Ruohan quickly replied.

"Alright, first, let’s return the call to Principal Zhao of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology."

As Ding Yue was eating dinner, it seemed appropriate to call Zhao back and chat. He guessed there was nothing urgent from Zhao, so they could converse casually while he ate.

"Okay, Principal Ding!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohan immediately opened the contacts list on her mobile phone, dialed the number for Principal Zhao Siming at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, and then handed the phone to Principal Ding.

This phone was specifically assigned for Wen Ruohan by Principal Ding, mainly for making and receiving various calls, and for using apps to book flights and hotels, etc. In short, it was well-suited for Wen Ruohan’s secretarial duties.

As soon as Ding Yue took the phone, the call went through: "Hello, Principal Zhao, this is Ding Yue."

"Principal Ding! Have you rested well? I know you’re hard at work!"

A middle-aged man’s voice came through the phone.

Zhao Siming, the president of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, is 54 years old this year, much older than Ding Yue.

However, both are university principals, and while Jiangnan University of Science and Technology is obviously much stronger than Mist City Arts and Science University, they are of the same rank.

After all, Jiangnan University of Science and Technology is a Double First Class University.

While Mist City Arts and Science University is just a private university that has gained some reputation in the past year.

"Indeed, I just woke up. When I heard that you had called, I immediately returned your call," Ding Yue said with a smile.

"Hahaha, Principal Ding, my call was just to congratulate you and Professor Zhou Wen on your successful collaborative research. Going forward, our two universities ought to promote further collaboration in the field of physics."

Zhao Siming also sounded quite joyous.

The application of third-generation semiconductor materials undoubtedly brought certain honor to Jiangnan University of Science and Technology.

Therefore, Zhao Siming wanted to seize this opportunity to build a closer relationship with Ding Yue and promote deeper collaboration in the physics department.

Zhao Siming’s idea fell in line with Ding Yue’s expectations.

Because Mist City Arts and Science University is still very young, and he himself is quite young, to have such a remarkable achievement in the field of semiconductor materials would be unbelievable to most people if said to be his sole accomplishment.

But in fact, the gallium nitride semiconductor material technology could indeed be developed by Ding Yue alone.

The reason for collaborating with Professor Zhou Wen and others is to make it look more normal, after all, these are professors from the physics department of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, specializing in the field of semiconductor materials.

For many years to come, the physics department of Mist City Arts and Science University can establish deeper cooperation with Jiangnan University of Science and Technology.

In this way, if Ding Yue produces any black-tech in physics, he can legitimately bring it out.

Just like the gallium nitride semiconductor technology today.

"That sounds good, Principal Zhao, our two universities have a deep bond. In the future, in the field of physics, and even other disciplines, we could establish a partnership."

Ding Yue went along with Principal Zhao’s words.

The two of them chatted about their partnership for about ten minutes, and after exchanging some pleasantries, they ended the call.

"Principal Ding, can we establish deeper cooperation with Jiangnan University of Science and Technology?"

Having listened to the contents of the phone call between Principal Ding and Principal Zhao Siming of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, Wen Ruohan asked excitedly.

"Yes." Ding Yue nodded, returned the phone to Wen Ruohan, and then smiled, "In the future, not only in physics, but also in other academic fields, we can establish cooperative relationships."

"Wow! Being able to lean on Jiangnan University of Science and Technology is such a great thing for us at Mist City Arts and Science University!"

Wen Ruohan said excitedly.

However, Ding Yue didn’t see it this way. At this stage, it indeed seemed that the private university of Mist City Arts and Science University had snugly grabbed onto the big leg of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, a national Double First Class University.

But in reality...

"Principal Ding, there’s a call from Mr. Lei from Dami Technology Group." Seeing the call on her phone, Wen Ruohan informed Ding Yue.
