Would a Regiment Be Enough?

Lu Zhou had originally thought that getting a little over a hundred volunteers from the military would be more or less enough.

He had not expected Minister Qin to casually throw out, "Would a regiment be enough?" The question really stunned him.

Lu Zhou said with a sweat, "A whole regiment would be way too many. Even if you can get that many people, I can't produce that much experimental equipment."

A regiment meant at least a thousand people, perhaps even two thousand.

Even though this thing of his did require plenty of people to help, it did not require that many.

Minister Qin said helplessly, "Then you have to give me a number. You're speaking in riddles to me. How am I, a layman, supposed to guess how many people you need?"

"A little over two hundred should be enough." Lu Zhou had originally planned to ask for one hundred, but seeing how smoothly the negotiations were going, he doubled the number before it left his mouth.

Hearing that only two hundred people were needed, Minister Qin breathed a sigh of relief. Though as long as they could develop this technology, he could find a way to get Lu Zhou not just one regiment but even two, mobilizing so many personnel was ultimately a troublesome matter.

Moreover, the more people involved in the project, the harder it would be to maintain secrecy.

With a grand wave of his hand, Minister Qin immediately promised, "All right, no problem. As long as you can develop this technology, please don't hesitate to ask for anything we can help with!"

Given the potential this technology had demonstrated so far, it was fully worth making such a promise.

If this technology matured and truly achieved comprehensive simulation of reality, then it could be used
