People from the Xia Country Academy of Scieces and the National Patent Office prepared to leave Mist City Arts and Science University and return home.
This time, they came to Mist City Arts and Science University, confirmed the authenticity of the "Graphene Mechanical Exfoliation Manufacturing Machine," and Vice President Zhou Sicheng even praised it as a "feat" of this era.
During these three days, there has been a lot of exchange about the future applications of graphene between the people from Xia Country Academy of Sciences and Mist City Arts and Science University.
Meanwhile, the National Patent Office has officially granted national certified patents for Mist City Arts and Science University’s graphene battery technology and graphene mechanical exfoliation manufacturing machine.
"Principal Ding, your university possesses such advanced scientific and technological achievements, that play an invaluable role in the future graphene application market. What are your plans going forward?"
Vice President Zhou Sicheng asked Ding Yue before leaving.
"Dean Zhou, we certainly hope to convert our scientific research into commercial use that benefits our country and society. However, this process might take some time."
Ding Yue answered truthfully.
Since only Mist City Arts and Science University has mastered the Graphene Mechanical Exfoliation Manufacturing Machine technology, it was understood by all and sundry to be key to a gold mine.
Ding Yue was quite realistic, as Mist City Arts and Science University had only just mastered the technology. Full commercialization would take a considerable amount of time and funding.
But at present Ding Yue’s funding is finite. Even though the animated film "Super Combat Team" made over a billion for Mist City Arts and Science University, it’s still not enough.
Ding Yue is preparing to build his graphene preparation product system and graphene product research and manufacturing system.
By then, most of the future graphene market will be under the control of Ding Yue’s Feiyue Group.
"Indeed, paving the way for graphene’s market application will take at least a year or two, possibly even three to five years."
Zhou Sicheng nodded, "Principal Ding, this technology is of significant importance, with considerable international impact. If you encounter financial difficulties, I believe policy support can be given. However, this technology will naturally be made public by then."
"Yes, I understand what you mean, Dean Zhou," Ding Yue nodded and smiled, "If we can receive government support in this area, I must thank Xia Science Institution."
By calling it "our Xia Science Institution," Ding Yue aimed to tighten relations with the Xia Country Academy of Sciences.
In fact, Ding Yue does have some connection with the Xia Country Academy of Sciences. After all, he himself is an honorary researcher at the Xia Country Academy of Semiconductor Material Research.
This time, it was the Xia Country Academy of Sciences that came to the Mist City Arts and Science University and verified the authenticity of the Graphene Mechanical Exfoliation Manufacturing Machine.
"Mist City Arts and Science University is indeed a treasure trove. Especially your younger sister, Ding Xiaoyou, she has an unlimited future. Both Academician Sun and Academician Zhao have praised her many times in front of me!"
Zhou Sicheng said, laughing heartily.
Right now, both Academician Sun and Academician Zhao nodded, "Student Ding Xiaoyou is truly a rising star in the field of energy technology research."
"Thank you, Dean Zhou, and the two academicians for your acknowledgment of our Mist City Arts and Science University," nodded Ding Yue, smiling modestly.
Cars for the Xia Country Academy of Sciences and the National Patent Office had arrived. Soon, Zhou Sicheng and Lin Jiming would be heading to the airport to return to Yancheng.
"Principal Ding, before I go, let me mention the two things we discussed earlier. Firstly, regarding the technology of Mist City Arts and Science University’s Graphene Mechanical Exfoliation Manufacturing Machine, we will strive for opportunities for you from the higher-ups at the Xia Science Institution. Secondly, the graphene solar energy collection plates involve a new energy project, which will then be handed over to you."
Vice President Zhou Sicheng finally reminded Ding Yue before getting on the car.
As Deputy Director of the Xia Country Academy of Sciences, Zhou Sicheng naturally hopes that the graphene-related technologies of Mist City Arts and Science University will have better applications in Xia Country.
And solely relying on Ding Yue’s Feiyue Group, it would be difficult to bear such a huge market in a short time.
In this case, the policy and support of the state become very crucial.
Ding Yue also understood this well. Hence, he had invited Vice President Zhou and others from the Xia Country Academy of Sciences to come to his Mist City Arts and Science University.
After all, the application of graphene material in the future market is very large-scale, and the system needed to be built is also massive. Even if Ding Yue’s Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue Group want to use their funding to build it, it would still take a very long time.
It might take several years to establish a comprehensive graphene production system, graphene product fabrication system, and graphene product research system. After that, it would take even longer to introduce graphene into market applications, as silicon materials used to be.
This process could take ten years, or maybe even twenty, if Ding Yue can allocate a considerable amount of funding each year.
The best example is the healthcare robot Big White, developed by Mist City Arts and Science University.
