Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 743: Chapter 407 Why is Academician Zhao here? _3

"He agreed to be our special consultant." Zhang Gangchuan finally smiled, "Because, I really treat him as an expert and adviser, hoping he would give suggestions for our engine design and structure, not just doing calculations, understand?"

"You invited him?"

"Yes." Zhang Gangchuan replied with a grin.

Ying Shaowen felt uncomfortable after hearing this, and said in frustration, "If he doesn’t do calculations, what’s the use? He doesn’t know anything about engines, what kind of suggestions can he give? You expect a mathematician to be an engineer? To work on engines?" He shook his head, amused.

Zhang Gangchuan pursed his lips hard, "I believe in him."

Ying Shaowen shrugged indifferently and said, "Maybe, you are right. Even if he can’t help, his participation in the Kunlun project might make him your successor."

Zhang Gangchuan’s work efficiency was very high, and it took him only three days to sort out a part of the information and have a special staff member deliver it personally to Zhao Yi.

This batch of materials included the initial design plan and some basic structural issues. They were relatively less confidential, so there was no fear of leaks.

When Zhao Yi received the materials and carefully studied them, he encountered an awkward problem--

He had some trouble understanding it.

Though an engine seems to be a simple machinery, it actually involves complex principles and a range of specialized knowledge in mechanics, automation, and dynamics.

Zhao Yi simply went to the library to look up some basic books and learn some relevant professional knowledge. Compared to the high-level mathematics and physics, engineering knowledge was relatively simple. He also had a strong foundation in mathematics and computer science, so reading some professional books would suffice.

He found a large stack of books on mechanics, automation and power engineering in the library and placed them on his desk at the School of Sciences office. He then casually sat down and started reading.

Hu Zhibin came to discuss the public lecture on particle boundary theory with Zhao Yi and found that Zhao Yi was reading ...

"Boiler Technology 1200 Questions?"

"Thermal Engineering and Advanced Energy Technology Simulation and Design?"

"Zhao Yi, what are you doing?" Hu Zhibin, not understanding, flipped through the books one by one, "These are all books related to mechanical engineering and energy, why are you reading them?"

"I suddenly became interested."

Zhao Yi simply explained, "I used to study theories and found that studying applied technology is also good, but I don’t know how to learn, so I borrowed a bunch of books to read."

"That’s the right way to learn."

Hu Zhibin commented and said, "But learning doesn’t necessarily have to be self-study, you can attend lectures too. Our university’s engineering departments are not bad either – mechanical and automation, electrical engineering and so on rank quite high nationwide."

"Really?"

Hu Zhibin nodded vigorously, "It’s quite good. Wang Gang from the mechanical department is a good friend of mine. We dined together just a few days ago. He’s an expert in mechanical automation and his students designed robots that won second place in a competition."

He suddenly slapped his thigh, "That’s right! Wang Gang has a lecture later, you can go and listen, it’s at the third teaching building. You can ask about which classroom it is."

"Alright."

Zhao Yi put down his book and thought attending a lecture was a good idea too. Even if it was boring, he could still accumulate Rest Coins, and there would definitely be gains.

Half an hour later.

Third Teaching Building, Classroom 402.

Professor Wang Gang, with his standard Mediterranean hairstyle, stood on the podium in the large classroom, his mouth half-open and unable to close. He stared blankly at the figure sitting in the middle of the front row.

"Zhao Yi? It is Zhao Yi, right?"

"Could someone kindly tell me why Zhao Yi, Big Zhao the mathematician, Academician Zhao, is attending a ’Mechanics Principles’ lecture?"
