Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 841: Chapter 444: What Can You Do If You’re Just Naturally Smart?_1

Wangwu Engine Group, Chief Designer’s Office.

Zhang Shuqing, holding the telephone receiver, sat stunned in the chair, motionless, before slowly putting the phone down after a long while.

He hadn’t understood.

"Sun Lei is a genius? A super-genius? A defining genius? Extremely innovative?"

"Really? "

"Is this guy calling to... be sarcastic? Saying Sun Lei is a genius is just to take a dig at me, to vent?"

"But that doesn’t sound right, does it?"

Zhang Shuqing couldn’t figure it out at all; he subconsciously felt that Zhao Yi was being ironic, but recalling the somewhat excited tone on the other end, it seemed like he genuinely believed he had discovered a genius. He shook his head vigorously and began to ponder carefully.

"Sun Lei’s level is definitely not bad, it’s just that he always does some designs that are detached from reality."

"But even if Sun Lei is very innovative, it couldn’t have been discovered so quickly, could it? Designing also takes time, one month, two months, or even a year, two years..."

"Sun Lei has only just arrived, right?"

"Could it be that Sun Lei showed Zhao Yi his previous designs, and immediately stunned him... "

Zhang Shuqing suddenly remembered the other day, when the group was discussing compressor stability design, and Sun Lei brought out a design for a bleed valve, suggesting to parallel the valve with the turbine jet nozzle.

"Could it be that design?"

"Zhao Yi said they were also studying compressors, it’s quite possible, but that design would bring a whole heap of problems, wouldn’t it? Solving those problems could be more complicated than designing a new compressor set... "

"Right!"

Zhang Shuqing’s eyes suddenly widened, "Zhao Yi’s team seems to lack specialists in that area, meaning they probably don’t realize these issues, laypeople would definitely think Sun Lei’s ideas make sense."

"So that’s how it is!"

"And then Zhao Yi thinks Sun Lei is a genius and adopts his design..."

"It seems..."

"Kunlun Group Two is going to be in trouble!"

Zhang Shuqing thought it was somewhat funny, but on second thought, he also felt some regret, thinking he shouldn’t have sent Sun Lei there.

Once Kunlun Group Two encounters problems in their research and development, wasting a lot of time and consuming a lot of funds, and finally realizing Sun Lei’s design is unfeasible, would Zhao Yi think he had sent Sun Lei on purpose, deliberately letting him affect Kunlun Group Two’s research and development?

"Should I talk to Zhao Yi about it?"

"But, when I said Sun Lei was going over, it seems like I said he was a genius."

"Now..."

Zhang Shuqing hesitated for a long time, but decided to act as if he didn’t know and consoled himself, "Forget it, maybe it’s not like that, who knows what might happen?"

"Let’s wait and see!"

...

Zhao Yi was really satisfied with Sun Lei’s design, truly treating him as a super-genius.

A genius, he must be treated well!

Zhao Yi specially arranged for the best dormitory for Sun Lei, quickly had him join Kunlun Group Two, and even decided to give Sun Lei a certain travel allowance.

That was all they could do.

Although Sun Lei was to join Kunlun Group Two for engine research and development, Kunlun Group Two was not a permanent unit, similar to the Wangwu Engine Group—considered a ’temporary research team.’ The research personnel inside were not transferred from other jobs; they still belonged to their original institutions.

For instance, Li Rongmao, Zhang Hongtao, they were still researchers at their original laboratories and universities.

The same was true for Yuan Haitao and others.

Sun Lei was an associate researcher at the Mechanical Institute under the Science Academy, and whether with Wangwu Engine Group or now with Kunlun Group Two, it was all part of research work transfer. He was still drawing a salary and benefits from his original unit, and Kunlun Group Two couldn’t officially hire him; they could only give him some work subsidies at the most.

Of course.

If there were significant contributions during the research process, Kunlun Group Two also had the right to report it, and based on the different scientific contributions, higher authorities would grant personal bonuses and improvements in treatment.

For now, it was still too early.

...

Sun Lei felt Zhao Yi’s enthusiasm, knowing that Zhao Yi was very excited about his design, and he was also very surprised, because even he didn’t think highly of his own design. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Although he spoke confidently about the design, at Wangwu Engine Group, it had been directly dismissed, which made him feel underappreciated. But he was aware of where the problems lay.

The overall direction of the design was fine, but as others have assessed, his design seemed too ’advanced,’ and there would be a multitude of issues.

These problems combined could be even more complex than designing a new compressor.

Now, when talking about his design with Zhao Yi, it was just to indicate his capacity, not for Kunlun Group Two to truly adopt it.

But when he found out Zhao Yi was very keen on the design, to the point of feeling it was about to be adopted, Sun Lei started to worry.

If they followed this design, there would definitely be a host of issues, and the subsequent work would be to solve these issues.

Solve?

How to solve?

Wangwu Engine Group had so many research staff who looked at his design and thought it was unsolvable, and without the related personnel, Kunlun Group Two trying to solve everything was as hard as climbing to heaven, simply impossible.

"Maybe..."

"I’ll have to speak with Academician Zhao tomorrow, clearly explain the issues with the design, and have him reconsider?"

Sun Lei thought.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yi had returned to his dormitory and had already started addressing the problems.
