"That's it..."

Jiang Ming scratched his head.

It’s broken and we don’t have enough manpower.

The breakthrough in high-energy batteries is such a major event, but there is actually no one to follow up on the research.

"Do you have any other ideas? Why don't you tell me?"

Xavier saw Jiang Ming scratching his head and, based on his previous questions, guessed that Jiang Ming needed help.

If there is a need for manpower at the Institute of Ocean Science and Technology, there must be some new project.

He didn't want to let it go.

At this time, Jiang Ming frowned and looked at Xavier with suspicion.

"You already have enough projects on hand. First of all, you have to figure out how to do the electronic control well. This is the most fundamental one. Secondly, you have to be responsible for the electrification project of the clockwork mechanism, as well as the research and development of power armor. If I assign you a few more projects, can you handle it?"

"Of course... uh... okay, maybe I'm too busy, but I can recommend a few reliable people to you. Although I've only been here for a short time, there's not a single person here that I'm not familiar with."

"That's it!"

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment.

"Here's my plan. First, we have the high-energy batteries you have and we can make the electronic control system. Then, we can design a tram that can move freely instead of running on rails."

Some time ago, they discovered natural rubber, which helped them a lot.

Originally they said that it was difficult to find oil and many means of transportation were difficult to make. But now, electrification has been achieved in one step.

"Secondly, we need to design a tracked armored vehicle to be used with the latest artillery. Hey, I remember that there is also research on track spring mechanisms within the Fontaine Academy of Sciences, right?"

"Well... I remember there was, but it wasn't taken very seriously."

"Isn't that perfect? ​​I take it seriously. It's perfect. You write me a list and I'll trick them when the time comes... Please come over."

Xavier was silent for a moment.

The abacus beads you used are flying all over my face.

"No problem." Xavier agreed immediately.

Anyway, he can't go back to Fontaine Academy of Sciences, so it would be nice to be able to find those old friends.

"Finally... Xavier, have you learned anything about electromagnetic fields?"

"Of course, I basically understand it. Don't underestimate my learning speed."

"Now that you understand, I'll be frank. I want to develop a new device, a kinetic weapon that uses the force of an electromagnetic field to launch ammunition."

Xavier's brow furrowed.

"If it's about electromagnetism, I think of a person. As far as I know, he is very talented in this area and learns very quickly. Now he can actually work on his own. Moreover, he also has the idea of ​​using electromagnetic force to throw things."

Xavier recommended to Jiang Ming in a slow tone a person he thought was suitable.

"Who?" Jiang Ming was very surprised.

Anyone else have an idea? I'm not alone!

"My research assistant, Lorentz Ampere Gauss."

Chapter 107 Lorentz Ampere-Gauss

Hearing this name, Jiang Ming fell into silence and gradually lowered his head.

"Hmm? What's up, boss? Any problem?"

Xavier was puzzled by Jiang Ming's behavior.

"Oh, nothing, I just didn't hear it clearly. What's the name of your research assistant?"

"Lorentz Ampere Gauss."

Hearing this, Jiang Ming returned to silence again.

"Huh? What's the problem?"

Xavier scratched his head; he was really confused.

Gauss is a nice guy. He just followed me to the Ocean University of China not long ago. Is there any problem?

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

Is Gauss so famous?

"Oh, nothing, nothing."

Jiang Ming reacted and laughed it off.

"It's just that when I heard the name of this young comrade, I felt that he would definitely achieve great success in the field of electricity. Your suggestion is very good, Xavier. I think it would be better to let Comrade Gauss be the person in charge of the electromagnetic gun project."

"Uh……"

"Well, I have no opinion. It depends on Gauss himself."

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

"Okay, that's great. I just asked him to go get the materials. I think he will be back soon."

Jiang Ming and Xavier took advantage of this time to discuss the related work of fully electrifying the technology of Fontaine Scientific Research Institute.

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

Not long after, a vibrant young voice sounded from outside the door.

"Mr. Xavier, I have brought back all the materials needed for the experiment... Eh? Who is this gentleman?"

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

"what?"

Gauss seemed a little flustered. He quickly put down the materials in his hands and straightened his clothes.

"Hello, Mr. Dean."

"Hello, Comrade Gauss."

Jiang Ming nodded and stretched out his hand to greet Gauss as well.

"It's like this. We have a new project here and need someone to take charge. Mr. Xavier recommended you and said that you have some ideas in this regard. I support you taking charge of this project, but I don't know what you think?"

"Ah this..."

The young Gauss seemed a little surprised. He widened his eyes, pointed at his nose with his right hand and said, "Can I be responsible for the project independently?"

"Of course, why not? As long as you are willing." Jiang Ming made a gesture similar to an invitation.

"But... I'm just a research assistant... I'm not even a formal researcher."

"That's not a problem!"

Before Jiang Ming had a chance to speak, Xavier spoke first.

"You are a research assistant only because you are too young, have been in the Academy for too short a time, and have followed a loser like me. In fact, your ability is much better than most of the researchers in the Academy... oh, Fontaine Academy."

"You have to believe in your own abilities. Look, among all the new people here, who can learn as fast as you when it comes to electricity? Even I can't. Even the first group of people who came into contact with electricity, most of them can't keep up with you now."

"So, Gauss, seize this rare opportunity. You will definitely be able to shine."

Xavier looked at Gauss sincerely at this time and persuaded 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 at this moment. In the end, he changed the subject and returned to Xavier.

"Mr. Xavier, how can you be a loser? No one can deny your achievements. Please don't belittle yourself."

"..."

Xavier took a visibly deep breath, with a grudge stuck 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 are still too young, Gauss. The failure I mentioned does not come from my scientific research ability, but from other aspects. But at least now, this place is still pure and suitable for you."

"..."

Gauss folded his hands, supported his chin, and began to think.

"Can I know what the project is?"

One bad thing about the Ocean Science Institute is that they very frankly emphasize confidentiality, which is quite different from the atmosphere of the Fontainebleau Science Institute.

At this time, Gauss was not sure whether he could know the content of the project before agreeing.

Fortunately, there is not much to keep secret about this project.

"We plan to build an electromagnetic cannon, which uses electromagnetic force to throw objects, which is similar to your idea. However, we require that the objects thrown by this thing must be fast, accurate, and fierce, and be able to kill some powerful enemies with one blow. At least it must be stronger than our current muskets and artillery."

"Eh?!"

Gauss didn't expect it would be such a project.

It has only been a few days since he came up with this idea, and he has already made it come true?

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

"I can promise you right now. Just because you have this idea, as long as you accept this project, whether you can build it or not, we can call it the 'Gauss Cannon' in the future. To some extent, you will also go down in history."

"I took it!"

Gauss followed Jiang Ming's words and answered directly.

"That's very positive. However, you are responsible for more than just one cannon. You should also consider all the technologies needed to build this cannon."

"I know. No problem."

Goss now looks confident.

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

"Wow, boss, I didn't expect that we are so rich?"

Xavier was very surprised to hear that there was another one with no upper limit on funding.

He had always heard that Kaigi Island was quite poor, but his view changed immediately after he came here, and now he feels it is magnificent no matter how he looks at it.

"Not now, but there will probably be some in a couple of days. Isn't the God of Wealth at the port? And I think one of our advantages over the shogunate or Fontaine is that we can currently try our best to ensure that every penny of Mora goes to where it should go, rather than to someone's private pocket."

Xavier scratched his head and didn't comment further.

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

"Okay, I've explained everything to you. I'll go find Sergey and the others later to arrange some projects related to electric vehicles. You better hurry up, because the new batch of projects are waiting for your electronic control."

"Don't worry, I will do it this time."

Chapter 108 Who sent you to me?

Jiang Ming said goodbye to the three people and walked alone in the courtyard of the Ocean Science and Technology Institute.

Looking back, Xavier and the other two who had just come out to see us off had already gone back into the house.

It is working hours now, and there are not many people in the courtyard of the Ocean Science and Technology Institute.

"call--"

In the deserted yard, the only sound was Jiang Ming's breathing.

“Someone is helping us.”

A low murmur came out of Jiang Ming's mouth.

Originally, he thought that characters like astrologers might have predicted these contents, and the Witch Society and people like Alice who like to have fun secretly helped him for fun.

He wanted to make a gun at the time, and he "just happened" to find the "perfect" gunpowder formula and process left by Alice.

This was such a coincidence that he had to be suspicious.
