Chapter 1284: Chapter 616 New Type of Mysterious Particle_2
"I hope everyone can work together to assist Academician Zhao in completing the final design!"
Afterwards, Zhao Yi said a few words, which essentially encouraged everyone to work hard.
Then he left the time for Zhu Hengzhi.
Zhu Hengzhi was responsible for the preliminary work, because the attendees were not yet familiar with the design content, knowing only that it involved the design of a spacecraft. They first needed to understand the core technologies they mastered before they could start working.
Over the next two days, Zhu Hengzhi continuously explained the relevant content, including the core technology modules—
the fusion power device, anti-gravity system, and Z-wave technology.
In addition, the design of the spacecraft also had to include protection, weapons systems, and a series of functional areas, such as experimental zones, living quarters, storage areas, control rooms, and so on.
All together, it sounded very complex.
If everything were designed, each area would require a separate design. Zhao Yi’s approach was to divide the design into several parts, assign them to different people, and finally integrate the design, conducting a series of refinements.
That was the method of design.
After two days of learning, even Li Jianming, the most experienced among them, couldn’t help but be astonished. They knew they were designing a spacecraft, but only after their arrival did they realize it was a ’large-scale cosmic vessel’, and indeed, the complexity of the ship design was mind-boggling, much like what one would see in a science fiction movie.
"We are about to see a real spacecraft capable of space shuttle and cosmic travel!"
Li Jianming and the others were extremely shocked.
Even Dong Tiancheng and Deng Yuan from the Aerospace Bureau had not anticipated such complexity in the design.
At the same time, they also felt somewhat helpless, as they were top talents from various institutions and were quite confident in their abilities.
Now, their confidence wavered.
To make an analogy, they felt like they were merely bicycle designers, yet they’d been handed the core technology and performance parameters of a racing car and were asked to design one.
How would they design it?
For a moment, even Li Jianming had no idea.
But it didn’t matter.
Zhao Yi had a plan for the design work. On the morning of the third day, when the group returned to the meeting room, they saw several large spaceship toys laid out on the table. freewebnσvel.cøm
"What is this—"
"Who built these? They’re quite well made."
"Very meticulous!"
Everyone gathered around to take a closer look. freёwebnovel.com
Lei Yong and Li Jianming exchanged glances, suddenly feeling excited, as four of the models were the ones they had brought.
Twenty minutes later, Zhao Yi entered the meeting room and said, "Starting today, your job will be to validate these spaceship models on the table based on parameters and technical data."
"You must use computer software to create the design for the required parts, filling them into the models. Whether it’s the good or the bad aspects, directly validate the advantages, disadvantages, and efficacy of the combinations."
"I hope to complete the validation of these models within a month!"
Zhao Yi spoke earnestly, and the others listened intently, though they didn’t quite understand.
Except for Lei Yong and Bao Enhong.
They had been involved in the design of the Warhawk aircraft and already had the relevant experience.
After Zhao Yi left, the others who were confused asked questions, and Lei Yong, somewhat proudly, said, "These models were bought by the Director and me. Don’t be surprised; Academician Zhao is different."
"Academician Zhao works like this. I’m not sure he’s asking us to validate the models together, but what I can assure you is—"
"Academician Zhao has already thought out exactly how to design the cosmic vessel. What he’s doing now is giving us a chance to feel involved and to learn from the participatory process."
"We’re here to learn by participating in the project."
"No matter what you think, that’s how I see it. The F-40 design was the same," Lei Yong said seriously.
Everyone looked at Bao Enhong, as she had also been involved in the F-40 design.
Bao Enhong listened and nodded in agreement, "Lei Yong is right. Anyway, I don’t think I made any significant contribution to the F-40 design, but Academician Zhao still added my name to it."
"I feel that Academician Zhao is training us, rather than actually expecting us to do the work. Think about it, the design of the cosmic vessel includes so many things. How complex would it be to put them together? Even with an entire team, it would take years to design, wouldn’t it? The few of us, in a month, validating a model, why?"
"He’s training us!" Bao Enhong spoke with a sentiment of admiration for Zhao Yi.
The others took a deep breath and upon reflection, couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
Academician Zhao, how great!
At the door.
Zhao Yi listened quietly, a smile curving his lips as he murmured to himself, "This Lei Yong, what a talent!"
"To think he could guess my intention!"
"Bao Enhong is not bad either!"
"That’s it! I’ve decided."
"After the design project is completed, I’ll give the two of them a bigger bonus!"

One week later.
Yixing Aerospace Technology held an internal R&D meeting that included all members of the technical department, leadership, and special invitees.
This meeting was very important as it would determine the company’s main research and development projects in the coming time.
