Free Web NovelChapter 1297: Chapter 621: Spaceship Design Completed!_3
The Institute of Mechanics is now the deepest into anti-gravity barrier research; they can maintain an anti-gravity barrier for around one hour.
It seems this is already the limit.
Another more critical issue is how to ’punch a hole’ in the anti-gravity barrier, or find some other method to transmit energy through the anti-gravity barrier?
This problem is even tougher, not even a direction for research seems available. freёwebnovel.com
Many institutions immediately called again for making anti-gravity barrier technology public in China, explaining it was for the sake of human energy development.
Of course.
These calls were utterly meaningless.
After participating in the ignition experiment of the nuclear fusion device, Zhao Yi returned straight to Zhengyang, knowing that he would soon be heading to the capital.
Following the success of the nuclear fusion experiment, they began to appraise the cosmic spaceship project.
Zhao Yi hoped to complete the design of the cosmic spaceship before the official meeting began, which would increase the bargaining chips for solidifying the project.
Once back at the base, Zhao Yi gathered all the members of the design team, briefed them on the work to come, and set a timeline, "Let’s all push a bit harder, I hope we can complete the design work within a week."
"Everyone should know, most of the design is finished; we just have to wrap things up."
"Each group, do your work well, and if any problems arise, come find me. I haven’t pressed for time before, but now we should strive to work overtime and make sure we finish."
"It’ll be tough for everyone this week, but once the design is complete, I will apply for a bonus for everyone in our design group."
The last sentence was met with enthusiastic applause.
Facing a world-class major project, everyone was very motivated, but the chance of a generous bonus certainly provided extra incentive, after all, everyone is the average person who needs a life.
Zhao Yi didn’t disclose how much the bonus would be, but he estimated that applying for a few million shouldn’t be an issue.
This was mainly because the project’s expenses had been minimal.
The cosmic spaceship’s design project had so far only cost about twenty million Chinese yuan. free𝑤ebnovel.com
It was absolutely a bargain.
Of course, completing the project design was not the end; thereafter, it would depend on the design framework to collaborate with other research groups, continuously experiment, and verify the manufacturing of core components.
Those would be the major expenses of the design.
Other groups would adjust their designs and manufacturing of various parts according to the cosmic spaceship design plan.
Soon.
Five days had passed.
Zhao Yi stayed with the design team the whole time, not only were others working overtime, but he had even more work to do, reviewing the designs from each team and putting all the designs together to develop the most rational assembly scheme.
Then the day’s work was finished.
Having worked continuously for seven hours in his office, Zhao Yi came out exhausted, clutching a thick stack of documents. He then called everyone together and announced loudly, "I have some good news for everyone, our design is complete!"
"Whoosh!"
The hall suddenly felt warm as everyone began to clap excitedly and became incredibly emotionally stirred.
This was the design of a cosmic spaceship!
Having participated in the entire design process, they finally saw it completed that day, and it felt like no small feat. Precisely because it was not easy, they were even more excited.
Zhao Yi said some encouraging words, then announced that some of the staff could take a break before he went home, tired.
He also needed some rest.
After Zhao Yi left, many people suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
They were excited about completing the design, but upon further thought, they realized that the work didn’t seem that difficult after all.
Before joining the design team, they had anticipated the design work might last a year, two years, or even longer. Yet, in just two or three months, it was completed?
What was so difficult about that?
It was way too easy!
Everyone started to discuss, "Designing a cosmic spaceship doesn’t seem all that hard, does it?"
"It was completed so quickly!"
"It feels even simpler than designing an airplane."
"You’re all mistaken," said Lei Yong, stepping forward. "It seems easy now because most of the work was done by Academician Zhao. Whenever there was a problem with the design, Academician Zhao pointed it out right away. If it were someone else, you try? Probably wouldn’t even have started yet."
Others thought about it seriously and nodded vehemently.
Indeed!
Even designing a simple airplane or ship would not be possible within a few months, let alone a complicated cosmic spaceship.
They all began to express their admiration, "Academician Zhao is incredible, truly remarkable!"
"Indeed, working with Academician Zhao is different, such high efficiency!"
"I’m glad I applied to come here!"
