Chapter 70 The Power of Technology (Part 2)

The last two products were the finale of the institute. However, one was the finale of the finale. Xiao Jie handed them the drawings of the 75mm field gun for several months. They didn't develop the samples until last week and built two of them, but yesterday they were all scrapped. After loading the shells, the first gun exploded directly in the barrel and injured two researchers. The second one was better, but only two shells were fired. What was depressing is that their range was completely in line with the standard, less than a thousand meters. I don't know why. When the third shell was fired, the second gun also exploded, but fortunately, it did not cause any casualties.

So now, there are only two piles of scrap iron in front of Xiao Jie, which makes Xiao Jie laugh and cry. Baral stood aside, blushing like a monkey's butt. Xiao Jie's guards held their laughter hard, trying hard not to laugh, and their faces were also flushed.

"This is the 75mm field gun you developed?" Xiao Jie asked, pointing to the two piles of scrap iron in front of him.

Balar replied with a blushing face: "Yesterday they were indeed two guns, and today they can only be regarded as two piles of scrap iron."

Xiao Jie was very depressed. He spent so much money and finally got only two piles of scrap iron. However, in order not to undermine their confidence, Xiao Jie put all these in his heart, and a smile on his face comforted Baral: "It's okay, failure is just a mother. I believe you have accumulated a lot of experience from this failure. I believe you will succeed next time. If you have any needs, just mention it and I will try my best to satisfy it. In addition, I decided to add another one million francs of research funds, hoping you won't let me down." But no matter how you look at it, he felt that his smile was a bit fake.

Balar was deeply moved by Xiao Jie. They spent a lot of money but failed to succeed. But Xiao Jie not only did not blame them, but also encouraged them and increased the investment in research funds. He felt that this was completely Xiao Jie's trust in him. "Your Highness the Crown Prince, thank you for your trust in us. Please believe us. We will definitely overcome all difficulties and develop the cannon." Balar said with a trembling voice.

"I believe that God will bless you and you will succeed." Xiao Jie encouraged them again, and brought out all the God's expression, with a full look of charlatan. He just didn't know that the things they developed were for killing people, and perhaps it would be more appropriate to ask Satan to bless them.

"By the way, can you give us some opinions? Just like your opinions on Maxim heavy machine gun." Balar said with admiration on his face, and after that he quickly took out the book that recorded Xiao Jie's opinions.

"Maybe he should hire a stenographer." Xiao Jie suddenly thought.

Balar has asked this, and it would be a bit disgusting if he doesn't say anything. So Xiao Jie said: "Actually, I have no research on cannons. The most basic problem is the quality of steel. Although the quality of steel has been greatly improved compared with the past, it still cannot meet the requirements of making cannons. In addition, the previous cannons were cast with copper and have accumulated a lot of experience. Now using steel to make cannons is a brand new field. We have no experience to rely on, and we can only rely on ourselves to explore everything, so failure is inevitable. Another problem is that the shells used to be spherical, and the shells now have a different style. Don't doubt whether this shell is the best. I can be sure
