Chapter 849: Chapter 446 Is This For Real?!_3

Zhao Yi said, "No worries, we don’t need more people for the time being. If we do, I won’t hesitate to ask."

"Sure, no problem."

Gao Mingfu then said, "Regarding materials, if you need anything, you can cooperate with our Aviation Academy. When it comes to aviation materials, even the Science Academy can’t beat us."

"Thank you."

Zhao Yi could feel the review team’s enthusiasm, and his mood was quite good. However, what he was most interested in was Xia Kaide from Red Wind Industry. After shaking hands and introducing himself, he immediately said, "Captain Xia, I’d like to know about Red Wind Industry’s precision manufacturing capabilities."

"Which aspect?" Xia Kaide asked, puzzled.

"Many aspects. For instance, the manufacturing of the engine main shaft. The turbine blades in the prototype you made for Kunlun, how are their shapes formed? And if I want to add subtle holes on top of a hollow structure, can that be done?"

"This..."

"Also, the internal casing of the engine that I designed, the main material in the front is titanium alloy, right? Can titanium alloy be directly molded into a uniform porous structure—in an area of a few square centimeters, creating multiple uniform channels?"

"This..."

"Do you have integral blisk technology? Our latest design has high requirements for the blisk. If we use electron beam welding, it would definitely add weight..."

"Furthermore..."

Zhao Yi talked nonstop for quite a while.

At first, Xia Kaide tried to answer, but eventually he clutched his forehead in frustration and summoned the precision manufacturing expert he brought with him, "Engineer Zhang. You know more about this than I do; please talk with Academician Zhao."

Engineer Zhang was about fifty years old, his skin dark and rough, clearly someone who often stayed in the factory. But such people are usually deeply engaged in frontline manufacturing and have a detailed understanding of technical issues.

"Engineer Zhang, hello!"

After shaking hands with Engineer Zhang, Zhao Yi began discussing the requirements for precision work. Engineer Zhang’s responses were much smoother than Xia Kaide’s. He could answer most questions immediately and, for the ones that weren’t possible, he could suggest alternative approaches.

Once the two of them started exchanging ideas, they lost track of time.

The others stood by and waited. Initially, they were quite patient, but after an hour passed, they could no longer wait yet couldn’t bring themselves to interrupt.

Liu Jiankun called Yuan Haitao over and asked in a low voice, "Why is Academician Zhao so interested in precision engineering? Is he planning to do research in this area?"

The others looked over as well.

Yuan Haitao shook his head and said, "That’s not it. Our team’s design is almost complete. The next step is to apply for the design to be finalized and manufacture a prototype. Academician Zhao just wants to understand the precision engineering capabilities to see if the prototype can be made according to the design."

"—?"

Liu Jiankun stood with his mouth agape, completely stunned. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Zhang Gangchuan couldn’t help but laugh. He pointed at Yuan Haitao and said, "Captain Yuan, you have made progress in the half year you’ve been here! You even dare to joke with General Manager Liu."

Yuan Haitao turned to look over, and said very seriously, "Director Zhang, as you know, I never joke about work." His stern, serious expression sent a shiver down everyone’s spine.

A joke?

The Kunlun Team Two is ready to apply for design finalization and then move on to manufacturing a prototype?

They all glanced back at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi was earnestly exchanging precision engineering details with Engineer Zhang, continuously asking questions like, "Is such and such technology available?" and "Can this or that component be molded in such and such way?", and so on.

They were all suddenly agape in astonishment.

This...

It couldn’t really be true, could it?!
