Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 871: Chapter 454 Because he is Academician Zhao!_1

"Comparing with the airplane models from science fiction movies to draft a detailed analysis report? And it requires analyzing whether each part is reasonable, what advantages and disadvantages it has, and whether it can be improved..."

"Why?"

"What’s the point of doing this? Could Academician Zhao possibly be planning to make real planes that resemble toy models?"

Lei Yong and Bao Enhong exchanged a look filled with confusion, both seeing the puzzlement in each other’s eyes, and both contemplating the reason behind Zhao Yi’s request for them to write an analysis report based on toy models.

Bao Enhong was relatively fine with it, she stopped thinking about it when she couldn’t figure it out. In fact, it wasn’t her own choice to come to the capital, it was just that the latest project at the Wucheng Institute had just finished, and she was relatively free when she was asked if she wanted to go to the capital, she thought that it would be quite nice to work under the well-known Academician Zhao and even earn some extra allowances for travel, so she agreed.

She had the type of personality that was content with whatever came her way, she thought to herself, "Perhaps it’s just some idea of Academician Zhao’s."

"Anyway, just finish the analysis."

Lei Yong, on the other hand, was much more proactive.

Half a year ago, Lei Yong had followed his team to complete the design of an airplane starting with ’H’, and he made enough contributions during that process that, combined with his age and experience, he was promoted to a researcher.

In an institute that designs aircraft, being freshly promoted to researcher was somewhat awkward. He struggled to lead a team and apply for big projects on his own, and continued working on peripheral designs within the team. Being promoted did not seem to make much difference except for a slight increase in his salary.

Lei Yong had aspirations to climb higher. To advance at the Aircraft Design Institute, one had to have made numerous contributions to research and development and reached the level where one could lead a team in designing independently.

If one wanted to go even further, they would need to have a prominent performance in design – like the famous designers of J-10 and J-20 who had become nationally leading aircraft designers. But even for the top-notch aircraft designers, there were higher aspirations, such as becoming an academician of the Science Academy.

This was the ultimate pursuit in terms of prestige!

In some fields, it was relatively easy to become an academician, but in others, it was extremely difficult.

Aircraft designers belonged to the latter category.

Of course.

For Lei Yong, the matter of becoming an academician was still too far away. He was more concerned with taking one more step closer to acquiring the experience needed to personally lead a team to apply for aircraft design projects.

If he continued to accrue experience slowly within the institute, working on peripheral designs as part of a team, it would be very difficult to accumulate enough experience.

Therefore, when he heard there was an opportunity to go to the capital and join Zhao Yi’s ’Warhawk Special Research Group,’ Lei Yong seized the opportunity to fight for it. The ’Warhawk Special Research Group’ was new and not yet part of the Aviation Group’s system, almost akin to a ’specially invited expert,’ just replaced with a ’specially invited team.’ But working with the distinguished Academician Zhao, even if he didn’t achieve much, it would be much better than slowly gathering experience in the Aircraft Institute.

Moreover, would Academician Zhao ever produce no results?

No!

Many in the institute discussed it privately, and while the majority were skeptical of the Warhawk Special Research Group, some thought it was worth a try. Zhao Yi’s scientific research history was too impressive; it seemed he could produce results in any field. Maybe he could also be successful in aircraft design?

That’s what Lei Yong believed.

Several people from Shencheng Aircraft Research Institute wanted to come to the capital to check it out, but in the end, it was Lei Yong who took the initiative to approach the director and secured the chance to work in the capital.

Lei Yong was looking forward to joining the ’Warhawk Special Research Group.’ He hoped to achieve some results under Zhao Yi, and to make contributions in research and development. Above all, he hoped to make something of himself. He thought about this the whole way here, only to end up...

Writing an analysis report on models?

You’ve got to be kidding, right?

Lei Yong was utterly baffled, but he didn’t voice his confusion; instead, he mulled over the reasons repeatedly.

In the office, Lei Yong and Bao Enhong didn’t say a word, they just listened to Zhao Yi arranging the report-writing tasks, and then each took an identical model and left the office with their doubts.

Once sure they were far enough from the office, Bao Enhong couldn’t hold back and asked, "What do you think Academician Zhao means?"

She pointed at the airplane model in her hand and casually added, "It’s exquisite, very high-tech."

"A hazing?" After pondering for a while, Lei Yong reached such a conclusion.

Bao Enhong looked utterly unconcerned, "Would there be a need for that? Does Academician Zhao have to haze us?"

"Right..."

Lei Yong thought it over and concluded that it was unlikely. He was just an ordinary aircraft designer and research fellow at the institute, while Zhao Yi was of a vastly different status, there was simply no need for something like hazing.

"Could it be..."

Lei Yong proposed another possibility, "Does Academician Zhao just love playing around? Academician Zhao is indeed very young. Does he like science fiction movies? Now that he’s engaged in aircraft design, does he want to design something similar to what’s in the movies?"

"This..." freēwebnovel.com

Bao Enhong thought for a moment and remarked, "Academician Zhao shouldn’t be so childish, right?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Right."

Lei Yong thought about it and felt that Bao Enhong made sense. How could someone with such a childish mindset achieve such high accomplishments? Academician Zhao must be very mature and have his own solid thoughts on research and development.

"Then..."
