Original God, life in red Teyvat from scratch

"put!"

Accompanied by a deafening bang, a flash of fire appeared from the muzzle of the cannon that had been ready.

Jiang Ming and a group of researchers hid behind a bunker in the distance and watched this scene. Then, they raised their telescopes and observed the targets in the distance.

A moment later, a ball of fire suddenly exploded in the area where the target was located, and smoke filled the air.

When the smoke cleared, the wooden target at the center of the explosion had completely disappeared.

This was also true of the targets, which were protected by thin steel plates.

Researchers from the research team began to walk up to the target area to check the destructive effects of the artillery.

Jiang Ming and the team leader followed behind them.

To be honest, this was also the first time that Jiang Ming felt the power of artillery at close range.

The deafening sound, the slightly shaking ground, the flying sand and rocks... were completely different from what one felt through the screen.

This is just the shock wave and recoil when the shot is fired.

Moreover, this gun is only 75mm, which is not considered a heavy artillery.

Looking at the devastated target area, Jiang Ming remembered that there was an elemental cannon in Teyvat.

It seems that the power is not weak.

Liyue has the mountain-blasting cannon, and the most typical one in Inazuma is probably the Shenju Island Collapsing Cannon.

"Hey, speaking of which, have you heard of the Shogunate's [Kamiju Island Beng Cannon]?" Jiang Ming turned and asked the team leader.

"Shenju Island Collapse Cannon?"

The team leader was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded and nodded: "Yes, of course I have learned about it. As the most powerful elemental cannon on Inazuma's side, we used it as the standard during the design process."

"So how does our current 75mm cannon compare to that thing?"

"Emm..." The team leader organized his words. "It should be said that after we completed the design, we found that there is not much comparison between the two."

"Elaborate."

"The difference between the two is too big. Take the energy consumption of firing a cannon for example. The Shenju Island Collapse Cannon needs the power of lightning element to supply and control it in order to fire normally. Even someone with the Lightning Element God's Eye will be exhausted after two or three rounds. And our 75mm cannon, with fixed ammunition, can be pre-produced in the factory by many workers. Isn't it much more practical on the battlefield than that thing?"

"The second thing is power. I don't deny that the 75mm cannon is indeed not as good as the Shenju Island Collapse Cannon. That thing uses energy bullets of lightning elemental force, which has strong lethality. However, since we use fragmentation bullets, ours still has a better killing range."

"For some people with high martial arts skills, it's hard to say. The Shenju Island Collapse Cannon is powerful and lethal, while the 75mm cannon has a fast firing rate and bullet speed, making it difficult to dodge. For people with average strength, especially ordinary troops, they still have to rely on our 75mm cannon. The killing range of the fragments is large enough, and the power is enough to kill those ordinary people."

Chapter 110: First Elimination

Jiang Ming nodded, understanding what he meant.

These two things do have their own advantages, which makes it difficult to evaluate.

"But I think the most important advantage of our 75mm cannon is its production. The process of making the 75mm cannon is not complicated, and the materials are relatively common. The production speed and cost are much higher than that of the Beng Cannon."

"Ok?"

Jiang Ming looked at the team leader in surprise.

"I remember the main body of your cannon is made of crystal steel, right? The barrel and breech block are all forged with crystal steel. Do you call this ordinary material? Do you call this low cost?"

"That's this door. It's a thing of the past." The team leader waved at Jiang Ming.

"The metallurgical team has just analyzed the feasibility of blast furnace iron smelting. The blast furnaces imported from the Kingdom of Winter can theoretically be used for iron smelting after some improvements. They are also designing a new furnace to produce high-carbon steel. This steel will be very strong and durable, and theoretically enough to meet our needs. By then, we probably won't need so much crystal steel."

"Huh? The Metallurgical Team is moving so fast? Are they giving up their rest and working overtime like crazy again?"

Although the hope for a breakthrough in steelmaking technology is exciting, Jiang Ming's focus is still on the issue of researchers working overtime.

These research maniacs, when they really go crazy, they don’t even sleep.

This is Inazuma, and he only has these precious talents. If a few of them die suddenly, who can he turn to for justice?

"Uh... this... um... that..."

Seeing the team leader in front of him stammering and unable to speak, Jiang Ming knew what was going on.

"Haven't I repeatedly asked you to balance work and rest and forbid you from working overtime? I remember that I issued notices more than once asking you to ensure that you don't work more than 16 hours a day, and to ensure at least 7 hours of sleep and three normal meals a day. Let me guess, none of you listened?"

"Well... you know, sometimes when something is done, it becomes more and more exciting..."

stare--

The team leader felt a little timid under Jiang Ming's gaze.

"Uh... let's try to pay attention to time next time..."

"Do you want to do it again next time?" Jiang Ming interrupted him unhappily.

"There won't be a next time. I'll go back and tell Sergei that you guys should enforce eight hours of sleep and three meals a day at fixed times. I'll deduct research funding from anyone who doesn't comply."

The leader of the artillery team suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Ming with an expression of disbelief.

"Not only will we deduct research funding, we will do it severely. We will also set up a KPI system for quantitative assessment, and there will be a last-place elimination system... no, a first-place elimination system. From now on, the people who work the most overtime every month will have their funding doubled! Not only will they have their funding doubled, but those who are leading in KPIs will all be forced to take vacations, and don't even think about doing any research during their vacations."

The team leader's eyes widened even more.

At this moment, his lips were trembling, and he raised his hand as if he wanted to point at Jiang Ming and say something, but then he put it down again.

This is really...too vicious!

He had never seen such a vicious punishment!

How dare you withhold our research funds?

How dare you withhold our research funds?

Not only will their research funding be deducted, but they will also be forced to terminate their research and go on so-called... vacation?

how dare you? !

Oyster sauce!

"No, Boss, is this..."

"No room for negotiation." Jiang Ming interrupted his spell and changed the subject. "Let's take a look at the situation on the field first."

Even if the team leader had a thousand ideas, he couldn't say them at this moment.

At the scene, only the targets that are slightly away from the impact point can be found with embedded shrapnel or small holes penetrated by shrapnel.

Jiang Ming looked around and if it were converted into ordinary humans, at least the people within the range of a basketball court would have been killed.

It was about the same power as the 75mm howitzer he knew.

Especially when he appeared and could only produce TNT at best, which was completely incomparable to the various high-performance explosives on Earth.

"Tsk, it's about the same as we expected. The power of the explosion center has been relatively reduced, but the use of fragmentation ammunition has increased the killing range, and the damage to ordinary people has become greater."

The leader of the artillery team looked at the damage shown nearby and nodded with satisfaction.

"You've done a great job. Keep up the good work and try to build the 155mm howitzer and 125mm cannon as soon as possible."

Although Jiang Ming was not as excited as he was when he first received the news due to the impact of a series of breakthroughs, he still seemed very excited compared to his usual state.

At this time, he patted the leader of the artillery team and gave him a thumbs up to show encouragement.

"Thank you for the compliment, Boss. Could you please..."

"No."

"Tsk."

The team leader completely gave up the task of persuading Jiang Ming.

Let's leave it to Mr. Sergei.

The experienced Mr. Sergey must know what to do.

----

"Sergey!"

Jiang Ming, who returned from the test site, rushed straight to Sergei's office.

"What's wrong? Didn't you come here not long ago? What's the problem?"

Sergei, who was working at his desk, looked up, his face full of confusion.

"Big problem."

Jiang Ming moved a chair over and sat directly opposite Sergei. He leaned forward and spoke to Sergei.

"what is the problem?"

"I found that people in the Academy of Sciences seemed to be working overtime."

The confusion on Sergei's face faded, and turned into a normal expression.

"I thought it was something else? That's it?"

"Isn't this a big problem? I've stressed this issue over and over again! Are you really not listening at all?"

"Of course I am responsible for implementing it. I am sure I have informed everyone. However, the habit of working overtime was formed during the time of Fontaine Scientific Research Institute. It has become an established rule and it is probably difficult to break it. Hey, did you know that the dormitory area of ​​Fontaine Scientific Research Institute is not for sleeping, but for keeping people awake. Besides..."

Sergei looked at Jiang Ming and found that the other party's expression was just a little surprised, but there was no other change.

"Besides, they all volunteered, so what can we say? They all insisted that it didn't happen, so it's hard for us to supervise. Over time, nothing will be done about it."

"..."

Jiang Ming was slightly shocked by the news about the dormitory area of ​​Fontainebleau Science Academy.

When he traveled through time, it was only version 4.0 and the Science Academy area had not yet been opened.

As a result, I suddenly learned that we are not allowed to sleep in the dormitory.

It really gave him a little Fontaine shock.

"...No matter what, I still think it is necessary to maintain a healthy work and rest schedule. Sergey, you don't want your colleagues to die suddenly from staying up late one day, right?"

"Of course." Sergei nodded in affirmation.

"I'm sure there are some who don't want to use their sleep time to do research, and there are some who can't handle it physically and are just forced to do it. We have to correct this bad trend."

"...How to correct it?" Sergei hesitated for a moment and slowly asked Jiang Ming.

“The answer is first-place elimination.”

"Well, last-place elimination is indeed a common method... huh? Wait, what did you say?"

Sergei looked at Jiang Ming in disbelief.

“First to be eliminated???”

Chapter 111: I can wake up laughing even in my dreams

"Yes, the KPI indicator is based on overtime data. Those who work the most overtime are ranked at the top and their funds are deducted. Those with the highest KPI are directly forced to take leave."

"Uh……"

Sergei fell silent for a while.

This……

Can you still play like this?

For these people who are crazy about scientific research and are eager to get results, withholding research funds...how can there be such a vicious punishment?

Although it was vicious, he had to admit... this approach was probably useful.

The implementation of measures such as deducting funds will, to a certain extent, force them to take a rest.

After all, all the funding has been deducted, so what research work can they carry out?

A good cook cannot cook without rice.

"But... Mr. Jiang Ming, why do you do this? Don't you want us to produce more results as soon as possible? As far as I know, Haiqi Island is now..."
