Chapter 479: Academician Zhao is Truly Great!_2

...

Zhao Yi had been busy with the prototype manufacturing of the WZ-A1, encountering numerous issues related to the technical processes and materials. Every time a problem arose, it was reported to him, and he had to come up with a solution or make a decision as quickly as possible.

This work was time-consuming and exhausting, sometimes even frustrating. Some modifications to the original design meant there might be a slight decrease in performance. Although it wasn't much, what had been a perfect design became less perfect because of manufacturing technology, process, and material issues.

Zhao Yi felt a bit of empathy for the Kunlun engine team.

The Kunlun engine had been proven viable in design, but once the prototype was manufactured, various problems emerged, many of which were related to the manufacturing processes and materials. The original design had to be modified to fit the current technical capabilities, which could lead to even more issues.
