Count Mirabeau savored the Crown Prince's words, simultaneously considering France's actual situation, his expression gradually turning solemn, "Your Highness, but currently the most advanced steam engine technology is in the hands of the British, and we can only copy their products from a decade ago.
"By the way, I heard that not long ago England created the latest steam engine, which has already surpassed the power of ten horses."
"You are correct," Joseph nodded, "That is why I want to quickly establish industrial development zones to attract capital and talent for the research and development of new technologies."
Count Mirabeau, somewhat disheartened, said, "I wonder if we'll still be able to catch up..."
A confident smile appeared on Joseph's face, "You must have faith. Our setback is only temporary.
"As long as we build the foundational industry chains and create positive industry cycles, technological breakthroughs are an inevitable result."
