Chapter 719: Chapter 418 Xia Country Academy of Sciences: Not Surprising (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Mid-March.

The weather in Mist City was finally starting to warm up a bit.

The daily teaching operations at the Mist City Arts and Science University were running smoothly. This is something that Ding Yue didn’t need to worry about. After all, the university’s teaching system had become well developed, governed by Director Qi Chunsheng, and it had lessened the burden on Ding Yue.

However, the decrease of worries in teaching matters did not mean that Ding Yue’s concerns were alleviated in other respects.

Currently, the most important thing for Mist City Arts and Science University is the advent of "graphene battery technology".

Ding Xiaoyu’s first graphene battery, along with the graphene mechanical exfoliation preparation machine she previously developed with the cutting-edge team of the mechanical department, marked a significant breakthrough.

This was like opening a great door.

Furthermore, it was the door to a new world in the realm of energy batteries. The significance was extraordinary.

Ding Yue was well aware of this.

That’s why Ding Yue didn’t hastily make an official announcement on the day his sister created the graphene battery.

Inside the Principal’s Office in the Administration Building.

Ding Yue had a lot of phone calls these past few days. Director Xiao Wenxing from the Ministry of Education had dialed him several times already.

Even today.

Director Xiao called Ding Yue again.

"Hello, Director Xiao."

"Principal Ding, the graphene battery breakthrough that I mentioned a few days ago has been reported to the Ministry of Education in Yancheng. The ministry has contacted the Xia Science Institution. The matter is taken very seriously."

Ding Yue could clearly hear Director Xiao’s excited tone over the phone.

Since Xiao Wenxing was not yet well-informed about graphene battery technology, the groundbreaking research result was far more shocking than he could imagine, even though he had been astonished when he saw the graphene battery that Ding Xiaoyou had developed.

"Oh, that matter."

"Principal Ding, aren’t you excited? Even the Xia Science Institution is paying attention to it."

Xiao Wenxing felt that Ding Yue’s response was a little too calm.

Though Ding Yue had indeed become much more steady and composed since he became the Principal of the University, it seemed strange that he remained so calm on such an important matter.

"Actually, this was within my expectations," Ding Yue replied calmly.

The graphene battery technology could have widespread impact, as it held a promising future and an expansive market. This battery technology, made from a material hailed as the "material of the future," was sure to catch the attention of the Xia Science Institution.

However, the reason the Xia Science Institution had not directly contacted the Mist City Arts and Science University was likely due to some considerations.

Ding Yue had thought of that as well.

The Xia Science Institution must still be going through a detailed evaluation. Graphene battery technology was under worldwide research and development, not excluding the various research institutes under the Xia Science Institution.

However, it was the Mist City Arts and Science University that had first developed a graphene battery. The issue lay in the fact that technology companies across the world and the Xia Science Institution are well aware of one thing.

The substantial impact of the graphene battery technology is premised on one crucial factor.

A very key factor.

And that key factor is the mass production of graphene!

The discovery of graphene by two scientists paved the way for the future and earned them a Nobel Prize. It was a trailblazing feat.

However, if the application of graphene material were to progress, a major barrier to overcome would be how to peel off high-quality graphene in large quantities.

Both the Ministry of Education and the Xia Science Institution had not reacted strongly thus far because of this hurdle.

What they did not know was that the method of physically peeling off graphene has been optimized and developed into a high-efficiency graphene mechanical exfoliation preparation machine by the Mist City Arts and Science University!

Mass production is merely a few words away for Ding Yue’s Mist City Arts and Science University and the Feiyue Group.

What Ding Yue is considering now is how to utilize the graphene battery technology and graphene mechanical exfoliation preparation machine, both developed by his university, to secure the National Science and Technology Award.

Winning this award would bring about the successful upgrading of his university.

"Oh? Has the Xia Science Institution reached out to your Mist City Arts and Science University?"

Based on Principal Ding’s calm demeanor, Xiao Wenxing curiously asked.

"That hasn’t happened yet," Ding Yue replied, denying the assumption.

Director Xiao was excited and eager because he believed that the graphene battery could revolutionize the battery industry.

There’s no question about that.

But compared to the officials from the Education Department and the Xia Science Institution, Director Xiao was not as responsive because he had not realized the issue of mass-producing graphene that the others had.

"By the way, Principal Ding, when will your Mist City Arts and Science University announce the breakthrough of the graphene battery research?"

Director Xiao Wenxing asked about this matter.

He had been anticipating this great news for several days, yet Mist City Arts and Science University seemed reluctant to release any news.

"Soon. We must be careful to prepare everything properly," Ding Yue replied with a smile.

This matter, unlike the past, can’t simply be announced directly.
