If there is a design, but without the corresponding manufacturing technology, it is impossible to produce the parts as designed, at least a certain performance gap will arise, and other components will have to be adjusted accordingly.
This step is actually the most time-consuming one.
However, no matter what, the R&D group led by him would not face problems in terms of technical development.
...
The funds were secured.
The application for the new R&D group was approved.
Next, Zhao Yi began to expand his R&D group, which also meant recruiting people to join his research team. The first to be invited were Zhang Hongtao and Li Rongmao, "You will be in charge of the materials group."
Zhang Hongtao was somewhat okay with it as he had long known that Zhao Yi was researching engines, but was surprised that Zhao Yi was 'independently' leading the team for R&D, virtually setting Kunlun engine group aside.
