Easy Promotion to Lieutenant General, Part Two
"Major General Fengqi, have you developed a Perfect -level artillery shell?"
The next day, as Cao Fengqi stepped out of his room, he saw a pair of burning eyes staring at him.
"Old Xu, you're here."
Cao Fengqi saw a smile on his face and then greeted Cao Jianjun was standing to the side.
Yesterday, after he completed the development of the Perfect level 8 shell, I sent him a message.
"The Fengqi; Director Xu has been waiting for you here for five hours."
Cao Jianjun looked at him and smiled.
"It's only been 5 hours. From now on, Fengqi will be my boss. 50 hours wouldn't be too much."
Director Xu flattered him, his eyes gleaming as he rose and walked over.
"..."
Cao Fengqi smiled silently and handed him the level 8 Perfect shell and forging blueprint, "Here."
"A level 8 Perfect shell? I knew you, Fengqi, could research a level 8 Perfect shell."
When Director Xu saw the properties of the shell, an excited expression appeared on his face.
He took a deep breath and looked at him expectantly. "Fengqi, are you confident with a level 9 shell?"
"Forget about it, there's just too little level 8 metal."
Cao Fengqi shook his head at him and added, "If there are twenty or thirty types of level 8 metals, I can give it a try."
"Twenty or thirty kinds?"
Director Xu immediately frowned, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"I'll report this to General Xu and the others later, and have them gather all the level 8 metal materials from the ten major sanctuaries."
"Currently, our Great Xia has five level 8 mineral veins. It's not impossible to gather twenty or thirty different types of minerals."
He continued, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Cao Fengqi: "Fengqi, if you had twenty or thirty types of level 8 metals, what would be the probability of you developing a level 9 shell?"
"The higher the amount of metal, the higher the probability, at least 60%."
Cao Fengqi answered, then asked with some surprise, "So, our Great Xia now controls five level 8 mines?"
Now, after several studies, he has gained experience with this type of shell.
The only problem is the materials.
However, the fact that the Great Xia had control of five metal ore veins was somewhat unexpected.
He knew all too well the terror of the evil spirits and beasts in the level 5 mine.
If he didn't have some kind of cheat, he would never have been able to get so much level 8 metal.
"A 60% probability?"
Director Xu's eyes widened in shock upon hearing his words. He explained, "There are indeed five level-eight ore veins, but mining them is extremely difficult, and the amount of metal extracted each day is limited."
Cao Fengqi nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Mining a level 8 ore vein is indeed extremely troublesome. Even the first Second Sequence of superhumans would not be able to mine a single piece if they encountered such a vein.
"The Fengqi, so I won't disturb you any longer."
Director Xu looked at him and continued, "I'll go back and report on this matter now."
"Why don't you eat here?"
Cao Fengqi a polite remark...
"We've already eaten. Your parents prepared this for us."
Director Xu smiled and waved his hand, somewhat impatient to report the matter.
"The Fengqi, I'm off too."
Cao Jianjun waved to him and then left.
"Director Xu, my nephew has now successfully developed this Level 8 artillery shell. He'll be a lieutenant general in the Great Xia Dynasty soon?"
As soon as he sat down in the car, Cao Jianjun asked excitedly.
"Yes"
Director Xu nodded, looking at him with envy. "Jianjun, you've hit the jackpot, and your Cao Family has hit the jackpot too. A lieutenant general is still not the end for your nephew."
"It won't be long before your Cao Family produces someone who stands at the pinnacle of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"..."
Cao Jianjun opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Everything he's experiencing now feels like a dream!
The vehicle sped into the Transcendent Arsenal, where Xu Zhenjiang and his team, who had already received prior information, sat quietly in the conference room waiting.
"Lead."
After Director Xu and his team arrived, they bowed and immediately handed over the level 8 Perfect metal shell.
"Haha, good, good! In just a few days, Fengqi has actually succeeded! Amazing, incredibly amazing!"
"With this level 8 Perfect metal, hunting level 8 evil beasts will be incredibly easy, and it will also play a significant strategic role in guarding the Land of Dawn of our Great Xia."
"Once this thing is built, it will be a devastating weapon for all superhumans, except for those of us who have reached the Fourth Sequence."
The three generals, including Xu Zhenjiang, stared at the shell with burning fervor.
They were well aware of the significance of these shells.
"Sir, I also inquired with Major General Fengqi about the development of the Level 9 artillery shell."
Director Xu pursed his lips and continued, "Major General Fengqi said that if he had twenty or thirty types of level 8 metals available for his research, he would be at least 60 percent confident in developing a level 9 artillery shell."
"At least 60% certainty?"
"This..."
Xu Zhenjiang and the other two were slightly taken aback and exchanged glances.
If they could truly develop shells of this caliber, then their Great Xia would be utterly invincible.
Of course, this invincibility is relative to other national powers.
But that's enough.
According to their understanding, no one has yet entered the Fifth Sequence!
A level 9 artillery shell is equivalent to a nuclear weapon!
"We'll contact the capital later. One reason is to promote Cao Fengqi's military rank."
General Song, his eyes gleaming, said, "Secondly, we must gather level 8 metals and dedicate the entire nation's resources to support Fengqi's research!"
"The youngest major general in Great Xia is about to become the youngest lieutenant general in Great Xia, and it may not be long before he becomes the youngest general in Great Xia."
General Chen slowly uttered, "Eighteen years old!"
Xu Zhenjiang fell silent for a moment. This kid was indeed extraordinary.
