Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

"Huh? What exactly is the problem?"

Xavier scratched his head; he was genuinely puzzled.

Gauss is a nice young man. He just came to this Ocean Science Institute with me not long ago. Is there any problem?

Why does it feel like the boss has heard of him?

Is Gauss that famous?

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Jiang Ming realized what was happening and laughed it off.

"Just hearing this young comrade's name makes me think he'll definitely achieve great things in the field of electricity. Your suggestion is excellent, Xavier. I think it would be better to let Comrade Gauss take charge of the electromagnetic railgun project."

"Uh……"

"Well, I have no objection, it's up to Gauss himself."

"Of course, I'll ask for his opinion later."

“Okay, perfect timing. I just sent him to pick up the materials. He should be back in a bit.”

During this time, Jiang Ming and Xavier discussed the work related to the full electrification of the technology of the Fontaine Academy.

The conclusion is that it is entirely feasible, but the road ahead is long and arduous.

Shortly after, a vibrant young voice rang out from outside the door.

"Mr. Xavier, I've brought back all the materials needed for the experiment... Oh? And who is this gentleman?"

"This is our dean, Mr. Jiang Ming."

"what?"

Gauss seemed flustered and hurriedly put down the materials in his hand to straighten his clothes.

"Hello, Dean."

"Hello, Comrade Gauss."

Jiang Ming nodded and extended his hand to greet Gauss in return.

"Here's the thing, we have a new project here that needs someone to take charge of it, and Mr. Xavier recommended you, saying that you have some ideas in this area. I support having you take charge of this project, but I don't know what your thoughts are?"

"Ah this..."

Young Gauss seemed somewhat surprised. He widened his eyes, pointed to his nose with his right hand, and said, "I can manage projects independently now?"

“Of course, why not? As long as you’re willing.” Jiang Ming made a gesture that resembled an invitation.

"But... I'm just a lowly research assistant... I'm not even a full-fledged researcher."

"That's not a problem!"

Before Jiang Ming could speak, Xavier spoke first.

"You're a research assistant only because you're too young, haven't been at the Academy of Sciences long enough, and are working with a loser like me. In reality, you're far more capable than most researchers at the Academy of Sciences... oh, the Fontaine Academy of Sciences."

"You have to believe in your abilities. Look at all the new people here, who can match your learning speed when it comes to electricity? Even I can't keep up. Most of the first people to learn about electricity are already behind you now."

"So, Gauss, seize this rare opportunity; you will surely shine."

Xavier looked at Gauss with a sincere expression and urged him to accept the appointment.

"I……"

Gauss opened his mouth, but his mind was still a mess from the sudden surprise. He didn't know what to say, so he changed the subject and brought Xavier back to the topic.

“Mr. Xavier, how can you be a loser? No one can deny your achievements, so please don’t belittle yourself.”

"..."

Xavier visibly gasped for breath, a lump in his throat.

But in the end, he didn't know what to say, so he could only wave his hand and choose to avoid the topic.

“You’re still too young, Gauss. The failure I’m referring to doesn’t stem from my research abilities, but from other areas. But at least for now, this place is still pure, which suits you perfectly.”

"..."

Gauss crossed his arms, rested his chin on his hand, and began to think.

"May I inquire about what kind of project it is?"

One downside of the Ocean Academy of Sciences is that it places great emphasis on confidentiality, which is quite different from the atmosphere at the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences.

At this point, Gauss was unsure whether he would be able to learn the details of the project before he agreed.

Fortunately, there wasn't much to keep secret about this project.

"We plan to build an electromagnetic railgun, which uses electromagnetic force to launch objects, similar to your idea. However, we require that the objects launched by this thing be fast, accurate, and ruthless, capable of killing some powerful enemies with a single blow, and at least stronger than our current firearms and artillery."

"Eh?!"

Gauss never expected the project to be like this.

He only had this idea for a few days, and he's already able to put it into practice?

"How about it, think about it?" Jiang Ming said to Gauss with a smile.

“I can promise you right now that just because you have this idea, as long as you take on this project, whether you can build it or not, we can call it the ‘Gauss Cannon’ from now on. In a way, you will also go down in history.”

"I took it!"

Gauss immediately followed Jiang Ming's words and answered first.

"Very proactive, but you'll be responsible for more than just one cannon. All the technologies needed to build this cannon will be within your consideration."

"I know, no problem."

Gauss now looks very confident.

"In that case, it's settled then. As for funding and personnel... for now, you'll enjoy the same treatment as Xavier. I'll leave you a note later."

"Wow, boss, I never imagined we were this rich!"

Xavier seemed quite surprised to hear that yet another project with unlimited funding had come along.

He had always heard that Haiqi Island was quite poor, but his impression changed immediately after arriving, and now he finds it incredibly luxurious.

"Not now, but probably in a couple of days. The God of Wealth is right here at the port. And I think one of our advantages over the Shogunate or Fontaine is that we can currently ensure that every bit of Mora flows to where it should go, rather than into someone's private pocket."

Xavier scratched his head, offering no further comment.

Jiang Ming looked around, picked up a piece of paper from the table, wrote two approval slips, and then took out his official seal from his pocket and stamped them.

"Alright, I've explained things to you all. I'll go find Sergei and the others later to arrange the electric vehicle project. You'd better hurry up, as this batch of new projects are all waiting for your electric control system."

"Don't worry, this time it will definitely be done."

Chapter 108 Who brought you to my side?

Jiang Ming said goodbye to the three and walked alone in the courtyard of the Ocean Academy.

Looking back, Xavier and the other two who had just come out to see them off had already gone back inside.

It's working hours now, and there's not much of a person in the campus of the Ocean Academy.

"call--"

In the deserted courtyard, only the sound of Jiang Ming breathing could be heard.

“Someone is helping us.”

A low murmur escaped Jiang Ming's lips.

He initially thought that it might be a figure like an astrologer who had foreseen these events, and that the Witch Society, or entertainers like Alice, had secretly helped him out for their own amusement.

He wanted to make guns, and as a result, he "just happened" to find the "perfect" gunpowder formula and process left by Alice.

This was too much of a coincidence to ignore, making him suspicious.

But since Alice likes and is good at explosions, it's not unreasonable that she might have left behind something they could use.

Coincidence can be considered a valid explanation.

So at the time, he only had suspicions, and the target of his suspicions was only the members of the Witch's Guild.

But this time it's absolutely certain that someone is helping him.

Moreover, it can be directly confirmed that this person is probably not a member of the Witches' Guild, but rather someone who transcends it.

It's even possible to modify the existence of the World Tree.

After witnessing the breakthrough in power technology, primarily high-energy batteries, he wanted to develop electromagnetic railguns, and then Lorentz Ampère Gauss suddenly appeared.

Look at these three names, aren't they all household names?

Now it's all stacked onto the same person, the buff is fully stacked, and then they just happen to appear under his command, and they just happen to have a talent for electricity, even nine out of ten, so they can be in charge of the electromagnetic gun project.

What a coincidence!

One item could be a coincidence, but displaying so many items together is practically a blatant indication that something is wrong.

Then the problem is coming.

Who on earth is it?

Based on his understanding of the Genshin Impact storyline, the Seven Gods, the so-called Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm, do not possess such abilities, nor do they have the corresponding motivation.

The Seven Gods sound impressive, but in reality, they are just a few high-ranking employees under the Heavenly Principles, and probably not even among the top ones.

So……

Jiang Ming looked up towards Sky Island.

This place is mentioned repeatedly in the story, but it has always remained a mystery.

The abode of the gods.
