Zhang Hongtao was whining about the disparity in allocation of research funding. A so-called 'shell company' lab he made up somehow managed to secure twenty million for its R&D initial funding, while the state's key lab only got five-million funding.
Obviously.
The difference in R&D funding is due to the names of the research personnel, rather than the lab itself.
Indeed, it's just the case.
Studies on turbine blades is a national defense level major scientific research project. Whether it's a state's key lab or a regular one, none of them were qualified for such studies.
The higher authorities are more concerned about the likelihood of successful R&D, and Zhao Yi is exactly the man who can make miracles happen.
Zhang Hongtao is an expert in technology alloy materials, with quite a few past professional achievements. However, he is still just a regular researcher who doesn't surprise anyone. All of his major research studies also bear Zhao Yi's footprint.
