Originally Lu Zhou thought it would be amazing to get 100 volunteers.
So when Minister Qin offered to give him an entire regiment, he was shocked.
Lu Zhou said, "One regiment is too much, I don't have that many experimental machines."
One regiment was at least 1,000 people, maybe even 2,000.
He needed a lot of volunteers, but not that many.
Minister Qin said, "Then give me a number, how am I supposed to know how many you need?"
"200 should be enough," Lu Zhou said. He originally was going to say 100, but he decided to double the number just in case.
When Minister Qin heard the number, he was relieved. He would be willing to sacrifice an entire regiment, even two regiments, to get this technology on his hands.
However, the more people involved in this project, the more difficult it was to keep it confidential.
Minister Qin said, "No problem, as long as you can get the technology, we can get the people!"
