Chapter 182 Scapegoat

```

Two British technicians resigned one after another within half a month, and arrived in France by boat with the Marquis of Ludo, along with six textile workers and their families.

Subsequently, both the looms and the technicians were sent to the Palace of Versailles. There, the "Honorary Lifetime Chairman of the French Engineering and Technical Association," and His Majesty King Louis XVI of France would personally undertake the task of disassembling and reproducing the machine.

Initially, Joseph had intended for Murdock to handle the reproduction, but considering that he was working on the development of the high-pressure steam engine, and the Royal Workshop at Versailles had more precision machining equipment, it was ultimately decided that the important task would be entrusted to the King.
