Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 823: 436

Some modifications are considered "useless" but can still be argued about, allowing everyone to express their ideas freely and candidly. Maybe then the useless can be turned into something beneficial.

This time, even He Guilin participated in the validation. His involvement was crucial because he had been working on nickel-iron alloy research and had experimented with adding new elements, providing some experimental data.

Most of the experimental data were failures, but they were still somewhat referential.

The validation meeting in the conference room continued until eight o’clock in the evening. Every issue was discussed at length until Zhao Yi looked at the time and decided to adjourn, "It’s too late today. Remember to organize the data tomorrow, and we’ll continue in the afternoon. Our next experiment won’t be until at least next week."

He briefly explained the work and then concluded the day’s discussion.

At the Aviation Research Base, the Kunlun Engine Group.

Recently, the 307 Steel Plant announced an improvement in the melting point performance of K03A, and the engine group had also prepared accordingly. Last week, they had received several finished products for testing, which led to a surge of work for many R&D groups.

The turbine group needed to research and design blade pairing schemes that were more suitable based on the improved material properties of the turbine blades; the power group needed to adjust the energy output of the combustion chamber to fundamentally increase the engine’s maximum power.

And so on.

The work of the power group was led by the group leader Zhou Kai and the senior technician Gao Yaxin.

Zhou Kai and Gao Yaxin, both technicians with abundant experience, conducted detailed research on fuel input control, air pressure, and zoning design of the combustion chamber based on the new performance parameters of K03A obtained from testing. They finally proposed a very reasonable plan. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Once the plan was submitted, the head of the engine group, Zhang Gangchuan, asked the two to give a report at the conference center. Several senior technicians and leaders of the engine group felt there were no issues with the design after hearing the report and immediately signed off on it.

Zhou Kai and Gao Yaxin walked out of the conference room with relaxed smiles on their faces.

Zhou Kai said, "With the performance of K03A enhanced, and our supporting upgrades, the overall power of the engine will definitely see a significant increase. We have also made our contribution to this enhancement."

Gao Yaxin nodded and added, "The design passed directly. Now, we have to wait for the factory to produce the new samples."

"Indeed."

Zhou Kai said with a sense of ease; the workload for their power group was indeed light. Busy with design work when needed, they could afford to relax at other times. No other group had it easier.

As he thought this, he suddenly spoke of Wang Zhiguo, "Xiao Wang has also had it tough, traveling to the capital. Creating a control scheme for the combustion chamber compatible with 1700-degree turbine blades is really interesting. Xiao Wang’s level is still not up to par, so working on this design is somewhat meaningless for him... It’s hard on him..."

"Indeed."

Gao Yaxin sighed as he agreed, and then added, "But he’s young. If I were younger, I would have gone in his place, to see Academician Zhao in person. I saw the photo Xiao Wang sent; he had a picture taken with Academician Zhao." As he spoke, there was a hint of envy in his voice.

Although having a photo with Zhao Yi wasn’t a big deal, it was still something to boast about. Zhao Yi’s fame was comparable to that of a top celebrity, and others would certainly think highly of someone with a photo alongside him. It seemed that being connected to Zhao Yi even in research made it appear more prestigious.

Zhou Kai chuckled and asked, "Why don’t you go as well? It’s not like we have much to do recently."

"Oh no, not me."

Gao Yaxin quickly shook his head, "With a family to care for, I wouldn’t be much help even if I went. Let Xiao Wang do it; the young man needs the experience."

"It’s good for the young man to gain some experience," Zhou Kai agreed, nodding. "Even if the design serves no purpose, take it as learning. Xiao Wang’s skills are still lacking, but this can lay a foundation for his future work!"

"Indeed!"

Gao Yaxin sighed and nodded as if both were considering Wang Zhiguo’s best interests. However, in reality, they simply did not want to make the trip to engage in ’completely meaningless’ research.
