Chapter 724: Chapter 420: Little Sister Has Another ’Little Invention’ (Seeking Subscription)_2

And only his own Mist City Arts and Science University had mastered the core technology of mechanical exfoliation preparation for graphene.

This meant that Ding Yue had already secured the keys to the gate of wealth. Whether his Mist City Arts and Science University could obtain more funds for development depended on whether his Feiyue Group could take control of graphene-related technologies in the coming years.

"Principal Ding, we have contacted a few companies, but under the current situation, it seems that these tech companies don’t have much interest in collaborating with us."

In Principal Ding’s office, An Yujia reported to him the activities she had been busy with recently.

"That was expected. We don’t necessarily have to collaborate with them. We possess all the technology and equipment. Miss An, you understand what I mean?"

Ding Yue gently shook his head, speaking to An Yujia with a calm demeanor.

"Does Principal Ding mean that we should do it ourselves? But regarding funding... this would require significant investment."

An Yujia had indeed thought of this.

But a rough estimate of the cost, from building the equipment for graphene mechanical exfoliation preparation, to constructing a factory, and then producing graphene batteries and other graphene products, was not something that could be covered with just a few billion yuan.

"As for the money, we really don’t need to worry, I may not be able to put forth tens of billions, but they can."

Ding Yue faintly smiled, stretching out his hand, pointing upwards.

"Does Principal Ding mean support from the government?"

After pondering for two or three seconds, An Yujia quickly grasped what Principal Ding meant.

Upon careful thought, it made sense. The graphene battery technology revolutionizes the field of energy. Combined with Mist City Arts and Science University’s efficient means of producing high purity graphene, these factors are key.

Even An Yujia, a business operator who initially did not fully understand graphene, knew that the mechanical exfoliation apparatus of Mist City Arts and Science University, was the key to unlocking the entire graphene market.

Ding Yue only gave a slight nod, remaining silent.

"But... Principal Ding, we haven’t disclosed the technology of graphene mechanical exfoliation yet. How would they know that we can produce graphene in large quantities?"

An Yujia was still somewhat puzzled and looked at Principal Ding, asking: "Should we announce the mechanical exfoliation apparatus at some point?"

"No rush."

Ding Yue simply shook his head, harboring some thoughts.

If he exposed everything at once, though he would get attention from higher-ups, Ding Yue preferred the higher-ups to actively approach him. In this way, when Mist City Arts and Science University receives national funding in the future, he could possibly secure even more.

"Principal Ding, I understand your intentions."

An Yujia also revealed a smile.

She did not expect the apparently young Principal Ding to consider so many aspects and be so comprehensive.

No wonder he could lead Mist City Arts and Science University to its current state in just two or three years – a feat impossible for anyone else.

Tap tap tap.

Outside the office, a hurried yet somehow cheerful set of footsteps could be heard.

Upon hearing the footsteps, Ding Yue knew who was coming.

The only one to walk so joyfully was his younger sister, Ding Xiaoyou.

"Bro!"

Sure enough, before she even appeared at the office door, her voice could be heard.

A few seconds later, indeed, Ding Xiaoyou appeared at the door.

"Why are you here?"

Upon seeing his sister entering the office, Ding Yue asked with a smile.

"Didn’t our school announce the graphene battery? But it seems like it didn’t make as big of a splash as I expected."

Ding Xiaoyou put her hands behind her back and looked quite adorable as she spoke: "I know why."

"Oh?"

Ding Yue asked with interest, "So, why do you think that is?"

"Because you didn’t announce the graphite mechanical peeling machine technology at the same time. The graphite peeling machine is the key to opening up the graphene market."

Ding Xiaoyou shrugged as she replied.

Upon hearing this, An Yujia was astonished. As expected from the top student, the sister of Principal Ding, her ideas were very similar to his.

"You came here just to discuss this matter?" Ding Yue asked further.

"Absolutely not, I’m not interested in commercial applications of graphene batteries or anything like that. That’s An’s worry. In the meantime, I’ve used graphene to create a small invention, hehe."

Ding Xiaoyou couldn’t hold back her elation.

Ever since she got the graphite mechanical peeling machine, she could extract single-layer, multi-layer graphene material of high purity from graphite in the energy chemistry lab.

The properties of this graphene are top-notch globally.

Thanks to this high-quality, pure graphite, Ding Xiaoyou was able create a graphene battery.

After making the graphene battery, Ding Xiaoyou created another energy-related product using graphene.

"What is it?" Ding Yue asked with excitement.

"The world’s first graphene solar collection board!" Ding Xiaoyou cheerfully announced: "A solar collection board made from graphene can absorb and convert heat radiation from the sun on a massive scale."

Ding Yue understood, but Wen Ruohan and An Yujia, who were by his side, were a bit confused.

"Compared to current solar collection equipment, how much of an improvement does it bring?"

Ding Yue asked excitedly.

The graphene solar collection board could fully utilize solar heat radiation, a renewable energy source. It is a very significant research accomplishment.

Who would’ve guessed his sister could have developed it so quickly? How long has it been since she told him she had made the graphene battery?

But then again, with high-quality, high-purity graphene at her disposal, producing graphene-based products shouldn’t be too difficult for Ding Xiaoyou.

"Have yet to test it," Ding Xiaoyou shrugged and chuckled: "I came here to suggest testing it out some time. What do you think?"

"Sure!" Ding Yue agreed instantly, adding: "From what I remember, isn’t tomorrow a sunny day?"

At this point, his secretary Wen Ruohan hurriedly checked the weather forecast for Mist City tomorrow. Indeed, it predicted a sunny day: "That’s correct, Principal Ding. Tomorrow will be sunny."

"Alright, we’ll test the graphene solar collection board you made tomorrow. Let’s see how much the heat radiation conversion rate improves compared to traditional solar collection boards."

Ding Yue was quite looking forward to it.

If there truly is a large improvement, then Ding Xiaoyou’s "graphene solar collection board," as a solar power device paired with the graphene battery, would be an amazing asset for renewable energy.

Just think about it.

Many rural areas have already implemented solar panels, allowing households to use things like solar water heaters.

Even with low solar to energy conversion rates, if a graphene solar collecting panel could convert solar power into electric power with super high efficiency, imagine how much pressure on electricity usage in certain areas could be alleviated!

In the future, as long as there’s plenty of sunlight in an area, each household could use a graphene solar device along with a high-capacity graphene battery.

Solar radiation gathered during the day could be converted into electric power and stored in graphene batteries. Even on days without sunshine, the electricity stored in graphene batteries would be sufficient.

Thinking about this, Ding Yue couldn’t help but marvel at the amazing potential of graphene, which has earned it the title of "Material of the Future" and "Black Gold".

"I’ll go grab data on the energy conversion rates of ordinary solar panel devices. After we conduct the test tomorrow, we can do a comparison."

With that, Ding Xiaoyou cheerfully turned to leave.

"Xiao Wen, could you compile some information on solar power generation in our country for me?" Ding Yue asked his secretary Wen Ruohan.

"Certainly, Principal Ding."

At this same time, in Xia Country’s Academy of Sciences, located miles away in Yancheng, Zhou Sicheng met with his old friend, Lin Jiming, the Director of the National Patent Office.
