Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Now, it seems to be the place most likely to be able to carry out this series of actions.

We just don't know which one or which few individuals it is, nor do we know their motives.

In short, if you have something, take it and use it; even if it's a sugar-coated bullet, eat the sugar coating first.

Come to think of it, wouldn't you say he has powerful connections?

Sending him materials and talent—is this like having a personal savior or system by your side?

It always feels like it's more reliable than the old man and the system.

Jiang Ming stopped in his tracks.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of Sergei's laboratory.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Sergei, it's me, Jiang Ming."

"Just come in, the door is not locked."

Sergei was among the first group of people he had gathered, and he is now the second-in-command at the Marine Science Academy. When he was not at the Marine Science Academy, Sergei was in full charge.

Despite his heavy administrative workload, Sergei still undertook some less critical research tasks.

For example, right now, Jiang Ming walked into the laboratory, and Sergei was still testing the electric megaphone in his hand.

How's your research progressing?

"It's not bad. Actually, it's similar to the one in Fontainebleau, based on the same principle. However, this one uses electricity, so it needs to be readjusted since it uses a different energy source. Otherwise, the pronunciation will be very unclear, and there will be a very loud 'sizzling' sound."

Jiang Ming nodded, which was a way of acknowledging his achievement.

Even with their current level of technology, it could at least be used as a megaphone.

The main reason is that the prospects are broad.

"I've come to see you mainly to discuss some work-related issues."

"What? Is it about institutional reform?"

Jiang Ming glanced at Sergei with surprise.

"Your information network is quite impressive."

"You know what, I've learned my lesson and now I spend at least fifteen minutes every day reading the newspaper to stay informed about current events."

"That's good, a good habit. I suggest you keep it up."

Jiang Ming gave Sergei a thumbs up.

"However, this time it's not just about institutional reform, there are other things too."

"what's up?"

This time, it was Sergei who looked at Jiang Ming with surprise.

"Xavier and Volt have made a breakthrough in their project, so I'm planning to launch a new batch of projects. You'll need to take a look and make the arrangements. Secondly, there's the matter of institutional reform. The relevant plans are all here; you just need to implement them."

Jiang Ming took a document out of his pocket and handed it to Sergei.

Sergei briefly opened and looked at it; it was nothing more than adding XX supervisory positions and setting up ICP branches.

"The mechanism reform is no problem, it's easy to handle. The people here are still quite dedicated. It's just that for the new projects... I'm short-handed on my end."

"Think of a way, if it doesn't work, we'll take it slowly."

Jiang Ming had absolutely no complaints about this.

Even if he had it, there was nothing he could do.

He knew very well that he had reached a bottleneck.

Inazuma is at the level of a feudal society. The only scientific research talent available in Inazuma is basically personnel from the Fontaine Academy or the Sumeru Order Academy who have stayed there. That's about all there is. Almost everyone who was willing to come to Haigi Island was brought over.

Starting from scratch to cultivate talent is ultimately a case of too little, too late.

Fortunately, he has already arranged for people to establish relevant research institutes in normal countries.

"There's one more thing, Sergei. Show me the list and information of the people in the institute, especially those who joined the Academy of Sciences after your batch, particularly Xavier's research team."

"Ok?"

Sergei looked at Jiang Ming with a puzzled expression.

"What happened?"

"I haven't really known the people who came in after you. It was only when Xavier recommended his research assistant to lead a new project that I realized how out of touch I was as the dean. I didn't even know the situation in my own department. I'm here today to get a better understanding of what's going on in our department."

"That's it..."

Sergei didn't think much of it; it was a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Although it's a bit outrageous for a research assistant to be promoted to project leader in one step, it doesn't really matter since the Ocean Academy of Sciences is such a small place with incomplete regulations.

Sergei placed the documents in front of Jiang Ming, with the personnel list at the top.

Jiang Ming opened it and looked at it carefully. In the end, he found another name that was worth noting.

Belmos Turing.

"What is this person's job right now?" Jiang Ming picked up the list and pointed to the name on it.

Hilge looked at the name carefully and answered without thinking.

"He's currently in charge of wired signal transmission, which overlaps with my work. One of his previous ideas was to transmit information through changes in electrical signals, allowing people to speak through a loudspeaker and microphone with only a wire between them. I've been a bit busy lately, so I haven't been paying much attention to how his project is progressing."

Jiang Ming lowered his head and looked at the name twice.

Belmos wants to build a wired telephone; he's probably another master of stitching things together.

Chapter 109, First Shot

"Let him continue with his project for now. But please tell him that when he has time, he can go to the project group next door and try to participate in the electrification and programming of the logic unit. See if there are any unexpected surprises. You can arrange the specifics."

"Logical operation unit and programming?"

Sergei tilted his head, looking at Jiang Ming with a puzzled expression.

"Turing didn't work in this area at the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences before, and he's only in charge of electrical signals now. His major at Fontainebleau is also unrelated to these two things. Why would he be assigned to these two project teams?"

"Give it a try, there's no cost involved anyway. As for other things, we can learn them. Aren't we all just starting out in electrical engineering?"

Sergei thought for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head and said, "I still don't understand, but as you said, there's no cost involved, so let's just consider it as him going to learn."

"That's right! I suggest you two get to know each other better. You might discover something that interests you or that you have a talent for. Maybe we can train a few all-rounders."

Jiang Ming thought this matter had great potential.

Aren't many scientists polymaths who span multiple fields?

Sergei shook his head again: "I'm too old to bother with these things. Those young people are very enthusiastic. I can make the arrangements. If any of them are willing, they can give it a try."

"Then do it."

Sergei nodded and agreed.

"Speaking of which, didn't you come here today to observe the artillery test firing? How come I didn't hear any explosions?"

Jiang Ming paused, his expression turning blank.

It seems that there was such a thing.

But the news of the energy storage breakthrough was so exciting, and then two more potential experts emerged, making him start thinking about "who is helping him" again. He had forgotten about the artillery incident.

"...I'll be right there."

Jiang Ming said goodbye to Sergei, then got up and headed straight to the test site.

Sergei was in his office, his hand, which was pouring coffee, paused in mid-air.

So, this person has forgotten?

I wonder what the excited artillery development team members will think when they hear this news.

Forget it, let's not tell them. Let's just say that Mr. Jiang Ming was late because of something urgent.

Ok.

I just hope that if they ask him about it on the spot, Mr. Jiang Ming won't be so lacking in emotional intelligence.

------

"I'm sorry everyone, something came up and I'm a little late."

Inside the test site, the artillery research and development team, who had been feeling utterly bored, suddenly became excited upon hearing Jiang Ming's voice.

"Not too late, not too late, you've come at just the right time."

The artillery team leader stood up and went to greet Jiang Ming.

"Thank you all for your hard work in designing a cannon that we can use in such a short time. As a powerful weapon on the battlefield, it will directly and significantly enhance our army's combat effectiveness. On behalf of the current Sea Guard, I would like to thank you all for your contributions."

Jiang Ming began his speech with a few polite remarks to the excited group members, and then bowed to them at the end to express his gratitude.

Although it was just polite talk, it was undeniably pleasant to hear, especially coming from Jiang Ming, along with the bow of thanks.

This is an affirmation of their work by Coral Palace.

After chatting with the group members and learning about the situation, Jiang Ming turned his attention to the group leader beside him.

"Then, shall we get started?"

"Ok, no problem!"

The team leader took a pair of binoculars and handed them to Jiang Ming, then turned around and said, "Prototype Type 1 75mm howitzer, first test firing, start!"

At the team leader's command, the scene sprang into action. Researchers began to withdraw from the testing ground, and several Sea God Army soldiers who had been brought in to assist began to enter the field.

"Load!"
