He knew as soon as he thought about it.
The Kunlun Engine Team 2 had just been established and certainly needed talent from all aspects, so it made sense to inquire at the Wangwu Engine Team.
"If Academician Zhao speaks up, then let a few people go," Zhang Shuqing thought.
Soon.
The call was connected.
Zhao Yi didn’t engage in much small talk and went straight to the point, explaining the R&D team’s issue and asking Zhang Shuqing for talent related to compressor developnt.
"Compressor?"
Zhang Shuqing thought about sending a few talents to Zhao Yi as he had said, but he paused imdiately when he heard "compressor." The Wangwu Engine Team was also focusing on compressor issues, and he felt that they were short on talent, even twice the number wouldn’t be too many. And now Zhao Yi also wanted to research compressors?
"He doesn’t even have a single professional in compressors; what is he going to study?"
"Is Zhao Yi going to do the research himself?"
"Pfft~~"
Zhang Shuqing couldn’t help but laugh at the thought, fortunately without making a sound. He took a deep breath to compose himself and said, "Here’s the deal, Academician Zhao, to be honest, we are also in need of talent related to compressor research here. But I will pass on your request to the chanical Design Team. I definitely won’t stop anyone who wants to go..."
He paused, then added, "Don’t worry. Even if no one is willing, I’ll assign soone to go."
"Thanks in advance!"
Zhao Yi was quite satisfied with Zhang Shuqing’s arrangents, ignoring the earlier part of the conversation. He knew that in the end, soone would be "assigned to co over," but having one person was still better than none.
Right now, the R&D team didn’t have a single person!
...
Zhang Shuqing indeed kept his promise.
He relayed Zhao Yi’s need to all personnel related to compressor R&D, also stressing that "Kunlun Team 2 is really in need of people. Academician Zhao said they don’t have anyone."
As soon as he said this, suddenly no one wanted to go.
Designing a compressor isn’t like solving a math problem. Wangwu Engine Team’s relevant R&D staff numbered over a dozen, and finalizing the design of the compressor took more than a year.
How long would it take for one person to achieve the work of a dozen over more than a year?
Regardless, there was no hope!
"Wait until our new design is finalized. If Kunlun Team 2 still needs soone, then we can go and take a look."
"After all, they’ve just been established; there’s no rush."
"Their R&D has just started, while we are already making refinents, which is far more important."
"Whoever wants to go can go, but I’m not going."
"I’m not going either!"
A large group of people gathered around, all saying they didn’t want to go.
Indeed, the fact that Kunlun Team 2 didn’t have the relevant personnel was just one of the reasons they didn’t want to go. Another significant reason was that the Wangwu Engine Team’s base was too far from the capital; even by plane, it was almost three hours away, and so found it too far even for business trips.
In addition, going there could quite possibly an joining Kunlun Team 2. The Wangwu Engine Team had been established for nearly ten years, and most people were already accustod to life here and didn’t want a sudden move to the capital.
If there were bright prospects, it might be one thing, but going to the capital to do R&D with Zhao Yi, the future was really uncertain.
It wasn’t that they didn’t trust Zhao Yi; in fact, most people had confidence in Zhao Yi and even admired him. But aviation engine R&D is extrely complex, especially for turbofan engines; even with the shortest R&D design tis, it would take several years. Who knew what could happen in those years?
So, most people still wanted to stay with the Wangwu Engine Team, where progress was also very promising.
This was the visible result and future.
When a large group of people all shook their heads indicating they wouldn’t go, a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard suddenly raised his hand and said, "I’ll go."
"Shush!"
Everyone turned to look.
Zhang Shuqing also looked over, asking with surprise, "Sun Lei? You’re willing to go?"
Sun Lei nodded emphatically.
"Okay then, you’ll go!"
Zhang Shuqing walked over and patted Sun Lei on the shoulder, "A trip to the capital might be good for you, a change of environnt, a chance to relax. It might be a good thing for you."
