CHAPTER 1822: CHAPTER 954: THE DAWN OF THE METAVERSE ERA (PART 2)

At Mist City Arts and Science University, it’s quite obvious that they’re using their own engine technology, which is the Feiyue Engine.

In addition, several other key technologies are primarily Xu Bin’s patented technologies, applying these technologies to create a very realistic metaverse virtual world seems to be no problem.

"Today, we must reach seventy percent progress, understand? By tomorrow morning, the progress should be completed, and we’ll spend the final afternoon perfecting it."

While Xu Bin was working on constructing his part, he didn’t forget to remind the participating team members under him.

The progress must be strictly completed. Since today’s target is seventy percent, seventy percent must be completed.

"Understood!"

Everyone responded in unison and continued to work hard on their tasks.

"Alright, let’s carry on!"

Xu Bin nodded and then continued his work.

And so.

The daytime passed in the blink of an eye.

The participating teams from various universities gradually left the competition venue, and Mist City Arts and Science University wasn’t the last to leave, as the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology was the last to leave the venue.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Outside the venue, Ding Yue waited for Xu Bin to come out with Chen Jun and the teams, then took them back to the hotel for a good meal and a rest.

"It’s alright, everything is going pretty smoothly."

Xu Bin said with a smile, looking very relaxed.

Following behind Xu Bin, Chen Jun and the other team members also appeared quite relaxed, apparently not feeling too much pressure from this competition.

"Seems everyone is pretty confident."

Ding Yue looked at everyone and said, "Then everyone, quickly go have a meal, and after that, take a good rest."

"Alright."

Everyone responded in unison, having already thought of enjoying a good meal, as the lunch indeed was rather casual.

So.

Ding Yue took everyone back to the hotel and opted for a relatively high-standard dinner, allowing everyone to enjoy a good meal.

After having dinner, everyone else returned to their hotel rooms to rest and sleep.

However, Xu Bin went for a walk with Ding Yue in the hotel’s back garden, and the two chatted about this First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest.

"After today’s competition, what do you think about Stanford’s, MIT’s, and the University of California’s metaverse technology?"

Ding Yue casually asked Xu Bin.

"I did observe, and Stanford has undeniably showcased some of their capabilities, which are definitely not simple. Their research in metaverse technology is quite strong."

Xu Bin analyzed and said.

"And what about MIT?"

Ding Yue asked again.

"As for MIT, to be honest, their expertise in computer technology is still a bit less than Stanford’s at the moment."

Xu Bin briefly summarized.

"So it seems MIT isn’t as big a threat as Stanford. What about the universities in Europe?"

Ding Yue inquired about the European universities.

After all, Stanford and MIT are top universities from America, and some European universities are quite formidable too.

"Imperial Polytechnic University and the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology also have deep research in metaverse technology and are formidable opponents."

Xu Bin analyzed and replied.

It seems the European Imperial Polytechnic University and the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology are also very strong.

The Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology had previously collaborated with Mist City Arts and Science University, even having a biomedical professor recruited by Mist City Arts and Science University from them.

"Whether it’s Stanford over in America or the Imperial Polytechnic University in Europe, even if they’re opponents, I believe you can overcome these competitors, Bin."

Ding Yue said to Xu Bin with a smile.

"Hahaha, we’ll see what the situation is by then. I am quite confident in our own metaverse virtual project. However, I have a hunch that this First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest is the perfect timing to formally open up the virtual world. Next, universities worldwide, along with major tech companies, should all devote their efforts to the metaverse. Yue, we at Mist City Arts and Science University and the Feiyue Group must seize the time."

Xu Bin said with foresight.

This is a judgment made by a computer genius based on the current situation, and Ding Yue is confident Xu Bin’s judgment is correct.

Moreover.

Ding Yue also believes this.

"For the development of the 3-nanometer chip, I’ll have Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei expedite the process, striving to create the 3-nanometer chip manufacturing lithography machine within this year."

Ding Yue nodded and said.

Currently, the 3-nanometer chip manufacturing lithography technology at Mist City Arts and Science University and other ancillary industry technologies related to the 3-nanometer chip are under intensive development.

Also leading the way is Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, Luo Peng, and Su Beilin as the main core researchers, accompanied by an ever-growing lithography machine research team. After all, Mist City Arts and Science University has cultivated many talents in precision machinery processing and other lithography-related technology programs over the years, and almost all these talents have been absorbed by Mist City Arts and Science University and the Feiyue Group, then directly involved in the 3-nanometer manufacturing lithography machine experimental project.

In other words.

If everything goes relatively smoothly with the 3-nanometer chip manufacturing lithography machine project, it should be faster than when they initially developed the 5-nanometer chip technology, given the wealth of experience already gained.

Moreover, both personnel and technology have significantly improved.

"It would be best if we could achieve it this year. I estimate that it might still take two to three years for overseas 3-nanometer chip technology to reach mass production."

Xu Bin estimated and said.

"Hmm, it looks like we don’t have much time left. We must complete quite a few major projects this year."

Ding Yue mused.

Aside from the 3-nanometer manufacturing lithography machine project, there is also the space launch base center project and some aerospace technology research, all of which need to be completed as soon as possible within this year.

Otherwise, if they continue to lag behind foreign tech companies, catching up will have to wait for the next generation of technology, which could take another three to five years, or possibly even longer.

After all, the innovation of one generation of technology may sometimes be achieved in three to five years, but generally, it takes longer.

"If major tech companies fully advance the development of metaverse technology this year, then it truly is the Year of the Metaverse, and as long as we release our project during the Year of the Metaverse, we can capture the market. I think, Yue, you know this better than I do, and Miss An should understand it even more."

Xu Bin said earnestly.

Even someone like Xu Bin, who is not involved in commercial operations, is aware of this principle.

Of course, Ding Yue knows this, and An Yujia has mentioned it to Ding Yue more than once. Ding Yue is fully aware, but things often do not change according to Ding Yue’s will.

In reality, bringing out the 3-nanometer chip technology cannot simply be achieved by setting a deadline through Ding Yue’s orders to Tong Yihang and the team; it requires Tong Yihang and his team to overcome one challenge after another.

Just a while ago, when Ding Yue inquired about this with Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, and Luo Peng, Tong Yihang informed Ding Yue that there is a good chance the 3-nanometer chip manufacturing lithography machine could be developed within this year.

And once the lithography machine is developed, chip technology naturally follows suit.

"I have great confidence in the lithography machine project, and I believe this year will indeed be the year when the metaverse formally opens, and we will be the leaders of this Metaverse era!"

Ding Yue’s eyes were filled with confidence.
