Ding Yue nodded and then said,

"Supporting the development of the Aerospace Academy is a long-term strategic vision, because once the Aerospace Academy takes off, Feiyue Group may as well establish an aerospace department and perhaps even create a domestic ’Space Exploration Technology Company’."

Furthermore,

"In Xia Country’s aerospace field, there is also a tremendous talent gap."

"If Mist City Arts and Science University can cultivate a considerable number of talents in the aerospace field for Xia Country, that would also be a contribution to the development of the motherland."

"Thank you, Principal Ding, for your strong support for our Aerospace Academy. I will most certainly live up to your expectations and continue to lead the students of the Aerospace Academy to forge ahead and study diligently,"

Song Wankong said with a firm look in his eyes.

Although it was a set of official-sounding remarks, Ding Yue still heard the grand aspirations of the Aerospace Academy from Director Song Wankong’s words.

If the Aerospace Academy had no grand aspirations, what difference would it make from just getting by?

Since Mist City Arts and Science University has an Aerospace Academy, its future grand aspirations must unquestionably be the stars and the sea!

"I will also be frank with you, Director Song, starting from this year, among the several departments that our Mist City Arts and Science University will be focusing on developing and supporting, your Aerospace Academy is included. You shouldn’t complain about why it took so long to notice you, after all, with more than twenty departments in Mist City Arts and Science University, to develop all of them is no small feat,"

Ding Yue said earnestly to Director Song Wankong.

"Yes, yes, Principal Ding, I do understand that. Moreover, our aerospace specialty is relatively unique, requiring significant financial investment and comparatively high teaching expenses,"

Director Song Wankong truly understood in his heart.

Over the past year or two, the university had focused almost all its efforts on departments like mechanical, architecture, computer science, medicine, filmmaking arts, and National Arts.

There indeed hadn’t been any extra effort to spare for the relatively small-scale and not-so-strong Aerospace Academy.

Now that Principal Ding had the spare capacity to focus on the Aerospace Academy, that was certainly something to rejoice about.

"In one or two years at most, the school’s funding issues should be largely resolved. By then, we can invest significant capital. I hope that once our Aerospace Academy has the funds, it can produce a result that satisfies the school,"

Ding Yue said, looking forward to the future.

If the Aerospace Academy could produce a satisfactory result, that would be no less than the best outcome.

Speaking of finances,

Ding Yue had this in mind:

Once the graphene pillar industry in Mist City was truly established, orders from all over the country and even the entire world would flow in non-stop. That would be a market worth hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of yuan.

By then, Feiyue Group could truly say it was not short of money.

At that time, Ding Yue could invest substantial capital into other departments at Mist City Arts and Science University, especially the Aerospace Academy.

No longer would he need to consider investments of a few billion or ten billion yuan as carefully as now, or even pause projects like photolithography experimentation.

But this was a necessary situation,

Given that Ding Yue’s total assets were only a few tens of billions yuan, not even a hundred billion.

However, those days were coming to an end. Once the graphene industry expanded and became the technological pillar industry of Mist City, it would be worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of yuan in assets.

"Principal Ding, our Aerospace Academy will definitely work hard,"

Director Song Wankong replied with determination.

"Now that it’s already the junior year, Director Song, do we have any top students with excellent academic performance in our Aerospace Academy? If they have extensive professional knowledge, they could be given special training,"

Ding Yue inquired.

Focusing on cultivating top students is an inevitable strategy for the development of Mist City Arts and Science University.

Just like the students from the Mechanical Engineering department, such as Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei.

Initially, most of the enrollees at Mist City Arts and Science University were "academic underachievers", but after the addition of learning buffs, most of these underachievers might become college students with decent learning capabilities.

Only a small portion, due to individual differences, saw significant improvements in learning ability and efficiency, and could be referred to as academic overachievers of the college phase.

Such students are the ones that Mist City Arts and Science University deems worthy of key cultivation.

Ding Yue could even use his system shop to exchange reputation points for corresponding professional and technical knowledge to bestow upon them, thus further nurturing outstanding talents.

"At the current stage, our students in the Aeronautics and Astronautics institute have indeed mastered a lot of specialized knowledge without issues. What they lack is practical operation. For example, with fluid and engine design for aircraft, it is difficult to improve if one only skims the surface. Even so, our Aeronautics and Astronautics institute has about ten students with great talent."

Director Song Wankong replied excitedly.

When it comes to the teaching achievements of the Aeronautics and Astronautics institute over the past two to three years, Song Wankong had much to share.

The students initially admitted had poor College Entrance Examination scores and a poor foundation, but with their efforts at Mist City Arts and Science University over the years, they progressed rapidly.

Especially a few of them had a very solid understanding of the top-notch professional knowledge in the aeronautic and astronautic fields, and even for the design of large aircraft, engine design, and theoretical operations of spacecraft, they had shown impressive learning performance.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Ding Yue smiled and nodded, "That’s pretty good then. If there’s a chance, we could arrange for these talented students with good academic performance to visit the Aerospace Bureau for observation and exchange."

Although Ding Yue said this, he estimated it might be somewhat difficult to implement.

Because the Aeronautics and Astronautics institute of Mist City Arts and Science University wasn’t very well-known, and without connections to the Aerospace Bureau, it would be quite challenging to arrange for the students to experience the Bureau firsthand.

"Hahaha, Principal Ding, the long-term goal for our students is to one day be able to enter the National Space Administration," said Song Wankong as he couldn’t help laughing.

For a college student majoring in aeronautics and astronautics, the hottest and greatest goal is naturally to join the National Space Administration and contribute to the country’s magnificent space endeavors.

Those studying aeronautics aspire to build better domestically-produced large aircraft or even fighter jets for the country.

And those learning about astronautics, who wouldn’t want to be involved in the National Space Administration’s spacecraft projects, to explore the moon, and to delve into Mars?

Indeed, the great instruments of the country are in its aeronautics and astronautics.

Many people dreamed of becoming astronauts as children, even getting slapped by their grandparents for their fanciful wishes.

"Director Song, tell our students in the Aeronautics and Astronautics institute that with hard work, everything is possible," Ding Yue said with confidence to Song Wankong.

"Mmm, I’ll definitely convey Principal Ding’s words to the students," Song Wankong nodded.

Guided by Song Wankong, Ding Yue finished visiting the large aircraft hangar here.

Then he toured places like the teaching building and the laboratory building of the Aeronautics and Astronautics institute.

One has to say, the Aeronautics and Astronautics institute was indeed "poor" before; Ding Yue didn’t invest much funding, so the teaching and laboratory equipment of the institute was too basic.

Song Wankong even told Ding Yue that the students in the Aeronautics and Astronautics institute striving to optimize aircraft engine designs had not made much progress and were still at the design drawing stage.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue felt a tremor in his heart.

The students of the Aeronautics and Astronautics institute had slowly growing passion, yet reality had hindered their goals in the past one or two years.

Take the optimization design of the aircraft engine, for example. Although Ding Yue did not understand it very well,

he heard from Director Song Wankong that the students’ approach to the aircraft engine optimization design was possibly on the right track.

Eventually, provided there are sufficient funds and experimental equipment, there is an opportunity to achieve the optimization design of the aircraft engine!
