"The laser laboratory is doing very well."
Lin Ju gave an honest assessment of Zhao Xiaowen's achievements. Although the cost was extremely high, laser technology, especially high-power laser technology, was clearly a key direction for the future.
Under the influence of a B+ level laser expert at the research institute, progress was pleasing. What about the core propulsion team with even more resources invested?
Seeing his boss's gaze turn to him, Cheng Nankai quickly reported on the progress:
"The system documentation is very complete, and the technology from NAPE is all ready to use in theory. However, since we cannot currently meet or have not been involved with many of the supporting materials and processes, we need time to conquer these challenges.
"I am now confident enough to start constructing the small-volume sodium-cooled fast neutron reactor; we are just waiting for the nuclear base to be finalized. We have to wait for some of the equipment."
