Chapter 284 We have been working hard. The next day, Ke Han was awakened by the noisy ringtone. The simple phone designed by Ding Xuan rang!
After fighting for an unknown number of rounds last night, he fell into a deep sleep and forgot about the appointments he had made with Ding Huan and Master Agui.
It turned out that I was going to see their improvement results, but I was delayed. I couldn't help being shocked and suddenly turned over. Then I quickly put on my clothes and got off the ground. I hurried to the table and picked up the receiver.
"Brother, when will you arrive?" As soon as I lifted the receiver, I heard Ding Huan's undeveloped drake voice shouting.
Ke Han quickly smiled apologetically into the receiver, unable to take into account the young boy's frivolity and rudeness, and promised repeatedly: "I'll come right now. Hehe, I was so sleepy that I forgot about this. My sin, my sin."
!”
Master Agui's smile came from the receiver. He kept blaming Ding Xu for disturbing the boss. He obviously had an instigating tone, but the specific words were vague. Ke Han was just umming, and the boss was
I don't want to pursue it anymore.
After answering the phone, he turned around and saw Yan Zi sitting at the table. He couldn't bear to leave, so he gave a rare honest smile and stood beside the table.
He reached out and picked up a piece of cloud cake that Yan Zi had prepared from the plate, held it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, then picked up the bowl of whitebait soup, raised his neck, and drank it all in one breath.
Yan Zi, who was waiting to have a meal with Ke Han, was embarrassed. She explained that the cloud cake that Ke Han was holding and the whitebait soup that he drank were both specialties brought by Marshal Ma from his hometown! Then, she said shyly
Looking at Ke Han who was getting angry, he said coquettishly: "Don't be anxious, eat slowly!"
"Time waits for no one!" Ke Han smacked his lips and sighed, "The Tatars in the north and the slaves in the west are eyeing us! Now, Marshal Ma is helping me train my troops quickly, and Secretary Wang is also accompanying me to supervise the results.
The 'Wanbao' technicians who are staying on the island are also trying their best to improve the existing equipment!"
Yan Zi looked at Ke Han longingly and nodded, saying that she knew this truth and couldn't help but feel lonely. She also knew that it was useless to try to retain him. After all, her husband-in-law was also a person who did important things and could not be forced to stay!
"I'll be back soon!" Ke Han said apologetically, "I heard that their research has made new progress..."
"This is what you should go!" Yan Zi urged simply and generously, "Don't make me wait too long!"
Ke Han then reluctantly stepped out of the room, said goodbye to his wife, and went straight to the entrance of the cave.
At the entrance of the cave, Shao Chong, who had taken over Zhen Kui's security work, saw Mr. Shi coming. He hurried forward to greet him, took the bag of cloud cakes from his hand, and said loudly: "Mr. Shi is here!"
The two scientists in the cave, Ding Huan and Agui, heard this and hurried out to welcome them. As soon as they met, they said excitedly: "It's done, the cannon we assembled ourselves has been successful!"
Ke Han liked to hear them say such things the most, so he walked three steps at a time, holding one by one hand, and then he beat their backs hard and said happily: "Let's go and have a look!"
"Master?!" Suddenly, Shao Chong, whose arm was still bandaged, shouted in surprise, "Are you here?"
Ke Han, Ding Huan and Agui turned around and saw Huairu Taoist Master coming over in anger. He pushed away the injured Shao Chong and asked: "What? Can't I come? What's so strange about me?
Do you want to keep it a secret too?”
Ke Han quickly reached out to take Master's crutch and said with a smile: "Master, you are worrying too much! We are only in the preliminary testing stage and cannot fully guarantee its safety, so we don't dare to tell you more..."
"No, no!" Taoist Priest Huairou immediately got angry when he heard these words. He said seriously, "I am also a person on the island. I gave up my cultivation palace to you as a research and development base. Why did it happen instead?
Were you eliminated?"
"It's nothing!" Ke Han came to Ding Xu's desk, picked up a red ribbon, and said quickly, "This has nothing to do with them, hey! It's all my fault for not contacting you in time.
Communicate, now, I will apologize to you. The old man is here today, then, cut the ribbon for us!"
The old man nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "This one hits the mark!"
The group of people came to a slightly open place near the lake. Ke Han made a visual inspection and found that it was about 300 meters away from the large cave.
Ding Xu pointed to a row of several objects covered with red cloth, smiled at Ke Han and Huaju, and explained: "They are all over there! During this period of time, we have been nesting in the cave, concentrating on research and development. According to
New firearms that need to be improved cannot be replaced by a 'swarm of bees' alone."
Ke Han's heart was surging. He was so excited that he walked forward with Taoist priest Huaiju on his side, and said to Taoist priest Huaiju: "Master, these are our advanced weapons, and their names are artillery! With this, we should not
We would care too much about the intrusions of the Tatars, Xinu, and the surrounding ghosts and monsters! Instead, we need to appear more noble and upright. From now on, we should take the lead and take the lead in promoting stability and unity!"
Taoist priest Huairu was also excited. When he saw a row of firearms covered with red cloth, he was as happy as seeing his lovely grandchildren. Seeing those costumes of different heights again, he was naturally very curious. He walked closer and wore a red cloth.
Bu's artillery suddenly became a little trembling.
Taoist priest Huairu thought to himself: This is another big move on Shunfeng Island after our alchemy cauldron was built. Moreover, these big moves are definitely an important step in increasing positive energy! Shi Ziheng, good boy,
I'm impressed by you, my teacher!
Facing the rows of firearms covered by red cloth, Ke Han said to Taoist Huaiju: "Master, with your sacred hands, work with us to unveil the mysteries for us one by one!"
Taoist priest Huairou then followed Ke Han, Ding Huan and Master Agui to remove the red cloth covering the firearm one by one.
But I saw a cannon standing like a tiger, squatting and majestic.
Next to the cannon, there was something like a bed. It was something Ke Han had never seen before, so he became interested and secretly remembered that he would know its effect later.
Next, there is something like an easel standing with a rotatable shaft horizontally on it. On the mandrel, there is a lever instead of a hook, and a sliding hook is connected below. It looks simple.
Simple...
Seeing Ke Han's curious look, Ding Xu came over and explained everything with him.
Ding Xu pointed at the artillery piece and said, "That's the artillery piece!"
Ke Hanzhong stepped forward again and took a closer look. He saw that a fixed gun mount was set up between the muzzle and the second barrel. The gun was always in a head-raised state. With its head held high, it also boosted fighting spirit.
Then he turned around and said to Ding Huan and Master Agui: "Have you given a name to our artillery?"
"Not yet," Ding Huan and Agui looked at each other, and then replied awkwardly.
"Looking at it, it looks like a tiger crouching. I think it's called a 'tiger crouching cannon.'" Ke Han imitated the appearance of a bachelor, twirling his chin in the air, feeling proud, and then asked a substantive question,
He said, "Launch, how to launch?"
"The filling process is like this..." Ding Huan explained, "First load the gunpowder and soil barrier, and then load the projectiles. One filling requires half a cannon, 6 taels of gunpowder, two inches of soil barrier, 70 lead pellets or
30 iron pills”
Master Agui added: "Before firing, place a large lead (weighing 5 taels) in the center of the cannon. Our cannon is made of cast iron from our freshly mined mines. It is 40 centimeters long and has a caliber of 4
cm, outer diameter 14 cm”
"Our great scientist has really put a lot of thought into it!" Ke Han sighed sincerely, and clapped together with Taoist priest Huaju to express their admiration.
"Next to the artillery, that bed-like weapon is a crossbow!" Ding Xu pointed to the object and explained, "The bed crossbow is a heavy weapon. The entire assembly structure includes a winch, a traction rope, and a traction hook.
It consists of eight major parts, including the back bow, pulleys, main bow, front bow and trigger. It relies on the combined force of several bows to shoot out an arrow. It often takes dozens of people to pull the bow to reach a range of up to one mile.
The penetrating power is very strong. It is a long-range weapon. When artillery and ammunition are in short supply, it can complement each other with the 'Swarm of Bees' developed in advance."
"This one seems to be specially prepared for strong men?" Ke Han smiled.
"Enhe!" Ding Xu nodded and agreed with Ke Han's statement, and then joked, "This cannot be played by one person. To be precise, it should be prepared for coordinating the cooperation ability of strong men, such as surrendering.
The Xinu soldiers and indigenous tribesmen, as well as our native Xiliang men in Dashun, often let them practice this bed crossbow together, which should be of great help! Of course, if the elder brother is also interested, he might as well work with Marshal Ma and
It would be a good pastime for the brothers from the Huai Fifth Team to try their skills together."
After Ding Xu's introduction, Ke Han really became interested. He rolled up his sleeves and walked up to try it.
Ding Xu smiled, picked up a bow-like weapon from the ground next to the crossbow, handed it to Ke Han, and said: "Brother, you can try this, its name is 'God's Arm Bow'!
In fact, it is also a kind of crossbow. Did you see the mechanism on it? This can be fired by one person, the range can reach more than half a mile, and it can penetrate heavy armor. This is not the result of our research, it is an imported product. It is used by the Mongolian army and
During the Jin Army's battle, it really frightened the Jin Army. We kept it for entertainment."
Ke Han took the "God's Arm Bow", nocked the arrow, and pulled the bow string to shoot.
Ding Xu, who was waiting by the side, opened his mouth in shock and said in confusion: "This requires you to step on the bow with your foot to set the arrow. You, this is the divine power among divine powers!"
Shao Chong was also dumbfounded. He once saw someone trying to pull open this "God's Arm Bow" directly. He stepped on it with his feet. After a long time, he couldn't open the bow string even a little bit. But in front of him, Mr. Shi easily opened the bow string.
Just draw a full bow?!
With a "swish" sound, in front of everyone's surprised eyes, Ke Han suddenly pulled the bow string, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the arrow flew out in an instant. Then, he heard a fierce eagle call in the air. After a while, he heard the eagle cry.
The sound of landing
Everyone was stunned and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time!
"Um, what's that one next to the crossbow on the bed?" Ke Han looked at the eagle that was shot in the neck and fell to the ground. He dusted his hands, pushed Ding Huan, and pointed at the easel-like thing and asked.
"Oh, that's called a 'gun tool'. Even though it's simple, it can throw more than 100 kilograms of rocks. When fired, the sound is like thunder, which can frighten the enemy. It can be widely used in wars in the future." Ding Huan, who was in shock, simply explained the artillery equipment.
Master Agui followed, and he still highly praised the first artillery piece he saw. He said to Ke Han, "I still insist that the artillery is the one that is both labor-saving and energy-efficient!"
Seeing so many weapons, Ke Han was very satisfied. He said happily: "Then, you have to step up the development of gunpowder. Well, the gold mines are using low-quality local medicine. Products affect productivity!”
Ding Huan and Master Agui replied loudly at the same time: "We have been working hard!"
Ke Han smiled, remembering that Ding Xu once mentioned that he wanted to build an aircraft, so he asked: "Well, the aircraft, what we usually call an airplane, can also be put on the work schedule."
After hearing this, Ding Xu couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and thought to himself: Fortunately, I never gave up on researching that thing. Hey, actually, it's quite difficult...
