Chapter 854: 448
This is still a conservative estimate.
Therefore, the steps for strict design verification are indispensable. The Aviation Group and the technology department must ensure that the design is correct before they can proceed with a substantial amount of evaluation. freeweɓnovel.cøm
For example, verifying the overall weight of the engine.
Performance.
Manufacturing technology requirements.
And so on.
These are not just the design of Group Two anymore, but also involve considering the technology of the cooperating factories and require the cooperation of the aviation materials department, because the materials for many engines may not meet the standards, and in Group Two’s design, there is not much detailed discourse on the materials for various parts.
Only after a definite feasibility analysis report is issued can the Aviation Group decide to allocate funds to manufacture prototypes.
So what follows is a busy period for the Aviation Group. They will need to find a myriad of experts and technicians to conduct detailed verification and research on each part of Group Two’s design.
Group Two will also need to send people there.
After Liu Jiankun and Zhao Yi explained the situation, Zhao Yi thought about it and simply made Sun Lei, Wang Zhiguo, Yuan Haitao, Li Rongmao, and others go, as they were familiar with some design and technical issues.
Some design principles were only clear to Zhao Yi, but he had no intention of going to the Aviation Group base to explain to a bunch of inspectors; if they understood, they could go and verify and research, and if not...
If those with thick skins came over to ask, he would certainly answer.
"That’s it, then!"
Zhao Yi decided.
The reason he made this decision was because the Aviation Group and the technology department’s verification of the design would take some time, plus discussing the targeting of the fighter jet, cooperation with other departments, and a series of internal discussions—everything would require a long time, and he did not want to waste too much of it.
After the review team left, since the design verification required time, and other members of Group Two were preparing for ’business trips,’ Zhao Yi found himself with some leisure time. He didn’t need to continue staying in the lab and simply returned to campus life, relaxing and enjoying a few days.
Senior year!
Although Zhao Yi felt that nothing had changed, in reality, everything was completely different.
Among the few people in the dormitory, Meng Zheng was always elusive, not clear what he was busy with, but most of the time he could be found in the study room or the library; there was good reason for his high grades.
Fan Lei was busier than Meng Zheng.
The director of the Biomedical Research Institute, Yan Xuelin, thought highly of him, promising to sign an official work contract with him upon his graduation. While esteemed, he surely was given a lot of work.
For instance, issues with the Medical Science Center.
The construction of the Medical Science Center had been underway for nearly half a year. The building construction was handled by specialists, but some issues, like the laboratory structure and reserved equipment space, needed to be considered in advance. Representing the Biomedical Research Institute, Fan Lei constantly communicated with the construction party and other departments.
This was somewhat like renovation work; because the demands were high, he had to constantly run around and keep a close eye on things, and combined with academic life and the pressure of graduation, one can only imagine how busy Fan Lei was.
Even meeting him was not easy for Zhao Yi.
So when Zhao Yi finally had some free time and hoped to enjoy college life, he discovered that the dorm was usually only occupied by Li Renzhe.
Li Renzhe was always immersed in his studies.
"Grad school! I must go to grad school! I have to go to grad school!" Li Renzhe was not just immersed in his studies but occasionally muttered these phrases crazily.
Zhao Yi asked in confusion, "Why must you go to grad school? Oh, and just to be clear, I haven’t decided whether to take on students after graduation. Besides, I looked into it yesterday, and it seems I’m not qualified yet because I haven’t signed the corresponding teaching contract with the College of Life Sciences."
"You don’t understand!"
Li Renzhe sighed, but held his tongue and didn’t continue.
Zhao Yi instantly felt frustrated. It was bothersome to start a conversation and then leave it hanging.
"Sigh~"
After a while, as if he could no longer hold it back, Li Renzhe finally said, "Zhao Yi, what do you think if I say I want to break up with Huang Wenqian?"
"Look with my eyes?"
"I’m not joking!"
Li Renzhe said solemnly, "I really want to break up, but I can’t bring myself to say it. Every time I see her... Anyway, I just can’t say it. She’s really gentle, a kind person, and her personality isn’t bad either, but I..."
"Buzz buzz buzz~~~"
Zhao Yi felt like a swarm of flies buzzing around his ears and couldn’t help but interrupt, "Speak—more—clearly—"
"!!"
"Oh, right!"
Li Renzhe said, "Anyway, I just can’t say it, but she said it herself, we’ll break up after graduation. Why? Because graduation means we’ll go our separate ways, no longer together. So I must go to grad school because Huang Wenqian said she will definitely go to work and not continue studying."
Zhao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Grad school and working aren’t conflicting. You go to grad school, she works; that’s perfect. She can support your studies, and once you graduate, you can get married. What a beautiful love story..."
Li Renzhe rolled his eyes, "Do I look like that kind of guy? Her paying for my education is a joke. The other way around might be more like it."
"Zhao Yi, you know me, I’m a real man!"
Zhao Yi, a bit disinterested, turned on his computer, planning to browse the latest news online. He had just opened a webpage when he heard the voice behind him, "But... what you said seems pretty good too..."
...
As his classmates around him were considering post-graduation plans, Zhao Yi couldn’t help but ponder as well. There had been discussions with the college, as the dean, Wu Yanping, and Wei Shiqing, had approached him about becoming a graduate student advisor.
