Chapter 1404: Chapter 667: Overlooking the Shuttle Process from the Helicopter

The nuclear fusion device had been manufactured to near perfection.

There were no major issues during the previous two tests; small problems that arose had been corrected, and recent efforts had been focused on continuous improvement. It had been many days since any problems were discovered.

Therefore, Chen Zeshu was very confident, his team had created a nuclear fusion device with a mature and perfect structure.

After discussing with Chen Zeshu, Zhao Yi walked up the stairs along the railing with a smile and entered the peripheral facilities of the nuclear fusion device on the second floor. freewebnovel.cσ๓

From here, one could already see the outer shell of the nuclear fusion device.

The others followed as well.

Chen Zeshu continued to provide explanations, "This here is the pipeline of the power device, the design of which includes an inner layer wrapped in compressed nickel alloy coating that can withstand temperatures over four thousand degrees."

"The pipeline leads to the power generation device—"

"Blah blah blah~~"

Zhao Yi listened patiently and nodded along, even though he had already found a small problem.

From the outside, he knew the fusion device had a minor issue, but he had no idea what the specific problem was. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Once inside, by using his causal thinking abilities, he immediately identified the issue.

"Here!"

Zhao Yi pointed to a spot and said, "Look at this pipe, the sides aren’t symmetrical, and there’s an obvious deviance at the welding joint."

"If the power device’s pipeline is not aligned properly, wouldn’t that cause one side to be heavier? Although I can’t be certain, this might be where a problem exists, have you noticed this?"

Misalignment in the power device pipeline could result in one side being heavier.

This was a minor issue, but over a long duration, it could lead to the internal pipeline deviating, thereby affecting the power transmission.

In the event of a collision involving the spacecraft, an unstable center of gravity in the pipeline might lead to a risk of cracking, and by then, the issue would become serious.

Of course.

Without any accidents, the power device pipeline would not affect the overall operation.

Chen Zeshu felt that Zhao Yi was nitpicking, but since the team hadn’t paid much attention to this problem, he still made a note of it.

Continuing forwards, Zhao Yi stopped by the outer barrier and after a close examination, remarked, "This hasn’t been polished carefully."

"Look at this welded joint, there are clear bubbles inside."

Chen Zeshu took a closer look and indeed spotted the bubbles, which were caused by uneven polishing. The outer layer wasn’t perfectly fitted, creating bubbles that could certainly pose a problem, potentially leading to uneven outer pressure affecting the overall operation.

This was a slightly more significant issue.

Taking a deep breath, he immediately instructed someone to note it down.

Zhao Yi walked around the second floor of the device and consecutively identified over a dozen minor issues.

Although each was minor and wouldn’t affect the device’s normal function, it was clear that a device with so many small issues was not perfectly manufactured.

Initially, Chen Zeshu thought that Zhao Yi was finding fault in trivial matters, but as more issues were identified, he fell silent, having always believed the device was manufactured perfectly. Recognizing all these issues was an admission of imperfect work.

Of course.

It’s certain that any complex device would have minor problems; it’s impossible to create something absolutely perfect. Nevertheless, Chen Zeshu was rather downcast that Zhao Yi had identified so many issues upon just examining the completed device.

He didn’t understand how Zhao Yi caught them all, but upon reflection, he realized that the nuclear fusion device had been designed by Zhao Yi, who knew every detail very well.

So, it was normal.

That’s what Chen Zeshu had to comfort himself with.

After descending from the device, Zhao Yi said with a smile, "Academician Chen, there’s no need to look so glum. Actually, I think your work is already very perfect, even far exceeding my expectations, and you’ve also finished it very quickly."

"This device is much better than the original one."

"That’s the truth."

Zhao Yi rarely praised others directly; with his reputation, he didn’t need to.

Chen Zeshu also smiled, reflecting on the promise of the lobster and suddenly regretting it.

Lobster is expensive!

In reality, the price of lobster wasn’t too high, especially in relation to their salaries—a single lobster meal didn’t amount to much.

However, the lobster in Space City was indeed pricey.

This was a desert area, hundreds of kilometers from the nearest airport. Transporting lobsters from the capital would cost much more than the lobsters themselves.

So at dinnertime, Chen Zeshu grudgingly ordered a lobster, paying over three thousand yuan out of his own pocket. But after some thought, he deemed it worthwhile. By identifying so many issues and correcting each one, the device would eventually become perfect.

Next time, who would be able to find a problem?

Chen Zeshu suddenly felt a sense of anticipation. Years of work had been invested in the nuclear fusion device, and now it really was his prized treasure. He even felt that he didn’t cherish his own son as much as he did the device.

The group hosted a welcome and cleansing meal for Zhao Yi.

Besides Chen Zeshu, there were several team leaders, managers, and executives present. Normally, their work meals were provided for free, but expensive ingredients like lobster definitely meant dipping into their own wallets.

Thus, the crowd playfully urged Chen Zeshu to treat everyone to lobster, commenting how stingy it was to only order one for Zhao Yi.

In fact, there were only three lobsters left in the restaurant.
