Zhao Yi decided to use a "process of elimination" first, to rule out incorrect methods. As long as the devised plan had no major flaws in its argumentation, he could directly design experiments for verification.
This was similar to selecting an answer.
For example, assume there are 100 possible answers, with 20 potentially correct and 80 definitely incorrect. Argumentation can eliminate most of the wrong options, and the purpose of the experiment is to identify the incorrect options among those "potentially correct."
After one round of experiments, there might only be 10 left that are "potentially correct."
Then, from these ten "potentially correct" options, he would find methods to design experiments, greatly increasing the chances of producing results.
If other answers emerged during the process, he could expand his thinking and carefully ponder them. After several experiments, the conditions would become sufficient, and perhaps he could use "Connection Law" or other abilities to refine the experimental process and methods.
This was the research and development method Zhao Yi had thought up.
Therefore, whether Shen Binghe and Li Rongmao did the designing, or Wang Zhifang and Zhang Hongtao, it was much the same. Zhao Yi had more faith in Shen Binghe and Li Rongmao because they had less experience and conducted their design work independently—the possibility of them "making mistakes" was higher, which could help eliminate more "potentially incorrect" options.
...
Designing an experimental scheme could not be completed in one day.
Zhao Yi gave several people plenty of time; his plan was to carry out the trial in two weeks. Two weeks was neither long nor short, as the team needed to first review the materials sent by Steel Mill 307, which pertained to the manufacturing process of K03A, including every step and the equipment used.
The information involved absolute secrets and was managed by designated personnel. They could only consult it at a specified location.
The aim of this process was to let them understand in detail at which manufacturing step they could add the rare metal element rhenium, and knowing the detailed manufacturing steps would also assist subsequent argumentation and design.
Zhao Yi then found himself with some free time. He attended classes at the university for two days and then suddenly felt very depressed.
University days are indeed to be cherished, but summer vacation was right around the corner, and they were about to move up to their fourth year in college.
Each student became busy.
Some prepared for postgraduate entrance exams, some for studying abroad, some for work, while others discussed doing part-time jobs over the summer vacation, and so on.
Yanhua University’s major in biological sciences ranked within the top five nationally. A prestigious program meant higher rates of studying abroad and postgraduate studies. Several students in the class planned to go abroad, while more than half intended to pursue master’s degrees, with some assured of direct advancement and also researching which supervisors to choose.
And then...
Zhao Yi became highly sought after!
While Zhao Yi had always been popular, this was the first time in his life to be sought after as a "future mentor." Several classmates who took courses with him kept asking if Zhao Yi was "recruiting graduate students."
"To be a graduate student supervisor and recruit former classmates?" Zhao Yi said with a wry smile, indicating he hadn’t considered it yet.
Then, Li Renzhe was dissatisfied.
Li Renzhe had always thought about applying for Zhao Yi’s graduate program, believing that following Zhao Yi would be promising. He had a good relationship with Zhao Yi and often pestered him, "Zhao Yi! Brother Zhao! Academician Zhao!"
"Lord Zhao! Teacher Zhao!"
"Zhao..."
Zhao Yi, annoyed, replied to Li Renzhe with a kick, "Zhao, Zhao, Zhao, to hell with your coverage!"
Li Renzhe chuckled and said, "You like my sister? She’s starting middle school this year, but no worries, in a few years she’ll be college-ready. Then, I’ll introduce her to you."
Gazing at Li Renzhe’s face, Zhao Yi imagined a flat-faced cute little sister and forcibly spat out one word—
"Scram——!!"
...
After a few leisurely days, Zhao Yi remembered the Power Engineering Laboratory. He simply went to take a look around, to see how Yuan Haitao’s team was doing and to assign them some tasks. freewёbnoνel.com
Yuan Haitao’s team indeed had too much free time.
Ever since Zhao Yi started developing turbine blade materials, they had been mostly idle, just maintaining parts and equipment every day. The rest of the time, they sat in the office while the workers enjoyed rotating vacations, taking time to travel around.
Yuan Haitao, Zhou Qing, and Xue Fengge couldn’t leave; they had to stay in the office, ready for any tasks that might be assigned. Their team was there to serve Zhao Yi.
In the office.
Zhou Qing casually played Fight the Landlord, sipped his tea, and said to the others, "We really are relaxed, eh? If you ask me, why not just skip going back to base and stay in the capital instead?"
Xue Fengge lifted his head and replied, "You’re not even from the capital. What about your wife and children?"
"Haha~~"
Zhou Qing laughed. "I was just kidding. If I could get a welfare apartment, I really would bring my family over."
"You two, stop slacking off!"
Yuan Haitao, very serious in front of the computer, suddenly shouted, "Come here, let’s play Three Kingdoms Kill on Penguin Game, add me as a friend and join my room for a black game!"
"..."
"..."
"Three Kingdoms Kill, playing a black game? Won’t you confuse the other two?" Zhou Qing forced a smile. "Captain Yuan, you really know how to have fun!"
"Knock, knock, knock!"
At that moment, there was a knock at the door. Seeing Zhao Yi standing at the entrance, the three men stood up in unison, "Academician Zhao?"
"Academician Zhao!"
"Academician Zhao——!"
In chorus!
Zhao Yi responded and walked in, saying, "You should all know already, right? About the Factory 307 thing."
