After the third day of the exhibition.
Over 13,000 people have already visited the Mist City Arts and Science University exhibit area.
Task progress: 13824/20000 visitors
Looking at the task progress, Ding Yue felt that they could successfully complete the "Popular University Robot" task.
Ding Yue had even started to look forward to seeing what robot-related technology they’d get from the [Robot Science Tech Box] upon task completion.
That evening.
After everyone from Mist City Arts and Science University had dinner, Ding Yue called everyone to his hotel room for a temporary eting.
"Is everyone here yet?"
Ding Yue quickly glanced around the hotel room, counting roughly a dozen people without being too precise.
Eventually, Secretary Wen Ruohan made a headcount.
All fourteen people from Mist City Arts and Science University were present.
"Alright, we’re going to have a temporary eting tonight. First of all, you have all worked hard at the National Robotics Competition and the National Science and Technology Innovation Exhibition these past few days."
Ding Yue first recognized the hard work of Tong Yihang and his team that day.
"Principal Ding, it wasn’t hard work at all. In fact, we’re very happy!"
"Yes, Principal Ding, seeing so many people co to enjoy and experience our creation, Big White, brings us great joy."
Ding Yue smiled and nodded, "Yes, I’m also very pleased to see so many people like Big White. The judging process for the National Robotics Competition is still ongoing, I wonder if we can win a prize. But it doesn’t matter, even if we don’t win any rewards, we’ve actually already succeeded."
Even if they didn’t win any awards at the National Robotics Competition, Ding Yue felt that having Big White gain such popularity was still a win.
Earlier in the day, when Ding Yue announced the Big White animated movie, "Super Combat Team," and a lottery for a free Big White, the university’s publicity departnt also registered a Twitter account called "Big White(●—●)".
They then applied for verification.
That’s right.
From now on, Big White also had its own Twitter account!
"Additionally, there’s so important news to share: our university’s dical robot, Big White, is about to officially start a pilot project in collaboration with Mist City Central Hospital."
Ding Yue inford Tong Yihang and the others about this.
Because Tong Yihang and his team were the principal creators of the dical robot, Big White.
anwhile, Xu Bin’s computer departnt was also vital.
Currently, to produce the Big White dical robot, they only needed the computer departnt to program the dical chips and the chanics departnt to manufacture the robot’s body.
"This is great news," said Teacher Li Shengbin excitedly.
Ding Yue nodded, "Yes, because after conducting the pilot project with Mist City Central Hospital, our Big White dical robot will be able to obtain the dical device qualifications more easily. Otherwise, it would likely take at least a year and a half for us to apply for it on our own."
"Principal Ding, so are we planning to sell the Big White dical robot to make money?"
At this mont, Huang Youjie rubbed his hands together in anticipation and asked.
"It’s not that simple."
Ding Yue imdiately gave Huang Youjie a stony look before continuing, "For this collaborative research project with Mist City Central Hospital, they require ten Big White dical robots. Students Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, Yang Jie, Teacher Li, I’m entrusting this task to you. Any questions?"
Their team was responsible for making Big White, and so they were the ones to rely on to produce these ten new Big Whites.
"No, it’s not ten, it’s eleven. There’s one more for the Twitter lottery." Ding Yue suddenly realized his mistake and quickly added.
Mist City Central Hospital needed ten for the pilot project, plus one for the Twitter lottery being given away to a lucky user.
So, in total, they needed eleven.
As for the one currently on display at the exhibition, the first Big White (●—●), Ding Yue obviously wanted to keep it. Whether it was to upgrade it to a more powerful 2.0 version or to implant it with legal, dical, and National Arts chips in the future, they would use this Big White.
"Eleven Big Whites, alright. Principal Ding, leave it to us, we got this!"
Tong Yihang stated that this was absolutely not a problem.
Because making eleven Big White robots this ti around was not on the sa level of difficulty as their original research to manufacture the first one.
All of the major challenges they initially faced have been resolved through the process of making the first Big White.
With their workflow now established, they simply needed to follow the sa steps to make the new Big Whites.
For Tong Yihang and his team, it was simple and convenient.
"Yes, we can, having made Big White once, the difficulty level isn’t as high. However, there is the issue of materials..."
Liu Tiefei quietly ntioned.
"Right, speaking of materials, I was about to ntion that, Huang."
Ding Yue’s gaze landed on Huang Youjie, his logistics director who was in charge of procurent.
"Yue, are you talking about the problem of procuring the materials they need?" Huang Youjie asked, then flashed an okay sign: "Don’t worry, it’ll be alright. I’ll have the logistics and procurent departnt fully support teacher Li’s team."
"Then we should be fine," As he heard this, Li Shengbin nodded in agreent.
Seeing this, Ding Yue continued: "Furthermore, considering that if we successfully complete the pilot test at Mist City Central Hospital, we’ll be able to procure the national dical equipnt qualification. This will definitely lead to a large flood of orders from hospitals all over the country."
"The amount required for these orders, Principal Ding, I fear we might not be able to complete them."
Tong Yihang imdiately shook his head.
Creating ten or eight ’Big White’ robots is not a problem. They would just need to work overti, put in so effort, or perhaps expand the team. Then production will surely flow without issues.
But as Principal Ding said, if they pass the pilot phase at Mist City Central Hospital, gained national dical equipnt qualification, and received a large number of orders from hospitals nationwide. There is no way they could fulfil such a large number of orders in their school lab.
"I am aware of that."
Ding Yue nodded, then looked towards Huang Youjie: "That’s why we need to prepare in advance."
"Yue, are you planning to set up a manufacturing plant?" Xu Bin widened his eyes and asked in surprise.
"Exactly!" Ding Yue confird emphatically.
Everyone was slightly taken aback by Principal Ding’s idea.
The school is actually planning to establish its own manufacturing plant and production line, don’t they usually outsource it?
"Think about it, not all students from the chanical departnt are as gifted as you Tong Yihang. So, what are they supposed to do after graduation? Join other factories?" When Ding Yue saw the surprise on the faces of the others, he explained: "Once we have our own robot production line, we can create job opportunities for our students."
"Yes, yes, that’s right, Yue. This is what we’ve been discussing. Instead of improving the employnt rate, we should be creating employnt!" Huang Youjie exclaid excitedly.
Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, Yang Jie, and Teacher Li Shengbin, they all felt a profound shock after hearing this.
They did not expect that in establishing Mist City Arts and Science University, Principal Ding not only thought about students acquiring knowledge but even planned for their employnt after graduation.
Indeed.
In the chanical departnt, Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei were the best students, but there were many others with decent academic performance but not as exceptional as them.
So, what would these students do after graduating from university?
Ding Yue knew that not every student can beco a genius.
Given this, building a robot production line in the school whilst making a profit could undoubtedly provide many job opportunities for students of the chanical departnt.
Although the students of the chanical departnt may not be able to develop and manufacture ’Big White’ robots, they can apply the knowledge they learned in the field of chanics to produce ’Big White’ on the production line!
"So when we go back, the school plans to set up a ’Big White’ robot production line. By then, Tong Yihang, your team will be in charge of the technical responsibilities for this production line, and Huang, the establishnt of this production line, including the procurent of equipnt, would be delegated to your logistics departnt", Ding Yue planned the division of tasks.
If constructing a ’Big White’ robot production line, the technical team would certainly be Tong Yihang’s team.
Then, purchasing manufacturing equipnt and procuring materials would be handled by Huang Youjie’s logistics departnt.
"We will definitely fulfill Principal Ding’s request!"
Huang Youjie stood up straight and declared in an orderly fashion.
"Let’s finalize later where we will set up the production line in the school. It’s not just a production line, but it can also be used as a practical training base for the students of the chanical departnt. Perfect!"
Ding Yue has thought everything through.
When this production line is set up, it can be used to manufacture ’Big White’ and also serve as the practical training base for the chanical departnt.
"Didn’t our new campus have 5000 acres? How much land did we use for the first phase of the project? We still have a lot of land. It should be pretty easy to find a spot," said Xu Bin, spreading his hands.
"That’s true, but we still need to plan for it. After I return, I will discuss it with Director Chen Ping from the architecture departnt to plan it out," Ding Yue approved and affird in a ticulous manner.
"Okay, let’s end today’s impromptu eting here. Everyone should go back and rest early." Ding Yue glanced at the ti. They hadn’t spent much ti on this impromptu eting.
Everyone could go back and get a good night’s sleep.
"Goodbye, Principal Ding."
"See you tomorrow, Principal Ding."
The students, teachers, and the two departnt heads left Ding Yue’s hotel room one after another.
"Principal Ding, I’m also going back to my room now," Wen Ruohan left as well.
"Aren’t you two going to sleep?"
Ding Yue noticed that only Huang and Bin were still sitting on the sofa.
"No, we won’t. We will sleep here tonight, hehe, hehehe..." Huang and Bin both replied with a sowhat sly grin.
