Xu Bin estimated that with the bottleneck in engine technology, domestic research institutions would likely find it hard to make a breakthrough in a short period.
It could take five years.
Or perhaps even longer, like ten years.
But for someone working in aerospace, how many decades does one have in a lifetime?
Therefore, Xu Bin was determined to push Mist City Arts and Science University to put in more effort. He hoped that the top-tier technical talents trained by the university's Aerospace Academy could overcome this bottleneck.
Even if the bottleneck couldn't be resolved by their efforts alone, collaborating with the Space Administration to jointly research engine technology could be a viable path. With complementing strengths, progress might be faster.
However, it would depend on whether the Space Administration was willing to collaborate.
