"So, Academician Wan, what are the specific methods of cooperation?"
Ding Yue asked curiously.
There was certainly no problem with cooperative research on photolithography machines.
However, what worried Ding Yue was, what if, once his Mist City Arts and Science University’s photolithography machine experiment project cooperated with the National Photolithography Research Institute, he lost the leading position?
After all, the photolithography machine experiment project at his Mist City Arts and Science University was going well, with its own team and progress.
Once the National Photolithography Research Institute joined in, and if they took the lead, then the photolithography machine experiment project and team at Mist City Arts and Science University could possibly lose their previous coordination ability.
Because for an institution like the National Photolithography Research Institute, although they are sincerely committed to researching photolithography machines and contributing to the country, they could be somewhat bureaucratic.
It’s even possible that the eventual achievements would be claimed by the National Photolithography Research Institute.
This was Ding Yue’s greatest concern. Other than this, collaborating with the National Photolithography Research Institute on the photolithography machine project would bring benefits, as it could accelerate the progression of the project.
"Principal Ding, what do you think? I would like to hear your thoughts," said Academician Wan Fuchuan with a smile.
"Being able to collaborate with the National Photolithography Research Institute is certainly a great matter."
Ding Yue refrained from speaking directly about the issue of leadership.
Would the photolithography machine experiment project from Mist City Arts and Science University merge into the cooperation with the National Photolithography Research Institute, or would the National Photolithography Research Institute send people to join the photolithography machine experiment project at Mist City Arts and Science University?
There is a significant difference between the two.
"Principal Ding, if you have any thoughts, feel free to speak out. Our National Photolithography Research Institute is fully sincere in seeking this collaboration," Academician Wan Fuchuan said, still smiling.
"Very well."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yue responded, "Then I’ll speak my mind. What form could our cooperation between Mist City Arts and Science University and the National Photolithography Research Institute take? Will our university’s photolithography machine experiment project be incorporated into the Institute’s project, or will the Institute send a team to our Mist City Arts and Science University to join our photolithography machine experiment project?"
Ding Yue directly expressed the thoughts in his mind.
"Hahaha."
Academician Wan Fuchuan did not answer immediately after listening but burst into laughter before saying, "Principal Ding, I know what you’re worried about."
"Do you?"
Ding Yue inquired.
"Rest assured, Principal Ding, my intention is that our Institute will send a team over to see if we can help you break through some of the challenges in photolithography machine research more efficiently and quickly. What do you think?" Academician Wan Fuchuan said straightforwardly.
"Really?"
Ding Yue, upon hearing this, suddenly felt that his previous conjectures might have been somewhat unnecessary.
Academician Wan Fuchuan had said so, and very clearly at that—if they were sending people over to join the photolithography machine experiment project at his Mist City Arts and Science University, this indicated that even in cooperation, his university’s project would still hold the dominant position.
"Of course. What, Principal Ding, you don’t welcome it?" Academician Wan asked.
"No, no, no, how could that be unwelcome? If that’s the case, it would be fantastic. By the way, Academician Wan, since that’s the case, may I make a small request?"
Ding Yue pondered, now that the National Photolithography Research Institute was sending people to participate in his Mist City Arts and Science University’s photolithography machine experiment project.
Could he perhaps request for the academicians from the National Photolithography Research Institute to also become honorary professors at his Mist City Arts and Science University?
If so, his Mist City Arts and Science University could boast a group of academician-level professors.
"Ha ha ha ha, Principal Ding, let’s hear what you have to say."
Academician Wan Fuchuan said with a laugh.
"Well, Academician Wan, our Mist City Arts and Science University has really put a lot of effort and invested a substantial amount of money into the research of photolithography machines. However, we’ve constantly faced a problem, which is the severe shortage of professors in relevant fields. If the National Photolithography Machine Research Institute could..."
Ding Yue deliberately did not finish his sentence.
"Principal Ding, I understand what you mean."
Academician Wan Fuchuan said, "This matter is not something I can decide on my own. After all, having the academicians from the institute take up visiting professorships at your Mist City Arts and Science University does have a certain impact. This will depend on what the academicians at the institute think."
Ding Yue knew that the answer he got was much the same as the one from the National Space Administration. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
That is to say, neither the National Space Administration nor the National Photolithography Machine Research Institute would be likely to directly appoint someone to take up a visiting professorship at Mist City Arts and Science University.
After all, Mist City Arts and Science University was not comparable to top-tier universities like Yancheng Aerospace University, Qinghua University, or Yancheng University.
Academician Wan Fuchuan’s implications were very clear to Ding Yue, much like the last time with the National Space Administration—it would depend on the thoughts of the academicians.
In any case.
The fact that the National Photolithography Machine Research Institute was willing to send staff to assist in the photolithography machine experiment project at Mist City Arts and Science University was already a huge win.
Having the team of academicians from the National Photolithography Machine Research Institute would significantly increase the "status" of Mist City Arts and Science University’s photolithography machine experiment project.
And he believed that the team of academicians from the National Photolithography Machine Research Institute would definitely have a significant and positive role in advancing the progress of Mist City Arts and Science University’s photolithography machine experiment project.
"Then , Academician Wan, how about asking the team of academicians from the institute who will join us to decide for themselves after they have participated in our photolithography machine experiment project?"
Ding Yue made a suggestion.
After all, he still hoped to have the institute’s experts take up visiting professorships at Mist City Arts and Science University, not only to enhance the university’s teaching staff but also to potentially complete the related academic tasks.
The academic task is a system’s University Development Task.
As long as Mist City Arts and Science University had a sufficient number of academicians as professors, it would complete this University Development Task and thereby receive substantial system rewards.
"That’s possible,"
Academician Wan Fuchuan agreed with Ding Yue’s suggestion.
He had learned a lot about Mist City Arts and Science University, a private university filled with miracles. Previously, many academicians and scientists from the National Space Administration and National Semiconductor Material Research Institute ultimately chose to become visiting professors there.
So, it’s not impossible for the academicians from the National Photolithography Machine Research Institute to do the same.
Of course, the prerequisite must be that the team of academicians who join the photolithography machine experiment project at Mist City Arts and Science University must recognize its worth. After all, if they don’t even recognize it, how could they possibly be willing to become visiting professors at Mist City Arts and Science University?
"Heh heh, that’s really great news. So, Academician Wan, when will your institute be sending someone over? We would like to be ready at any time."
Ding Yue asked with a smile.
"This call is mainly to consult whether your Mist City Arts and Science University is interested in this matter. Now that it’s confirmed, our institute will organize a team as soon as possible and send them to your Mist City Arts and Science University. Also, if your photolithography machine experiment project has any other needs, just let us know,"
Academician Wan Fuchuan replied.
"Alright, then I’ll wait for your news, Academician Wan,"
Ding Yue nodded and said, "As for anything else, I think we’re not lacking at the moment. What we’re short of is professional talent, ha ha ha ha."
"Good, Principal Ding, then let me wish our cooperation success in advance. We’ll strive to make our due contribution toward the significant progress of our domestically-produced photolithography machines as soon as possible!"
Academician Wan Fuchuan suddenly said with a serious and passionate tone.
That even got Ding Yue feeling quite fired up.
