Chapter 81

Wang Ke looked at the soldiers who were running out of breath, and asked in puzzlement, "Who is your subordinate? What do you want me to do?"

The visitor cupped his hands to Wang Ke and said, "The villain is from the Right Guard Army, and was sent by His Highness Third. Your Highness, please go to the general as soon as possible. Your Highness said that there is something urgent to discuss with the General."

When Wang Ke heard that this person was from the Right Guard, he felt a little ashamed.As an officer of the Right Guard, I don't know who is who except Li Zhe's soldiers.

Wang Ke hurriedly changed her clothes and went out with the visitor.On the way, Wang Ke asked the visitor if he knew why Li Ke asked him to go.But the person who came did not know anything about it. He only said that he was on duty today, so he was called by Li Ke to look for Wang Ke.However, the visitor mentioned that when Li Ke asked him to come to Wang Ke, he looked very anxious, but it made Wang Ke understand that Li Ke was so anxious to find him that there must be some major problem that could not be resolved.

Wang Ke remembered that during this period of time, the craftsmen under Li Ke have been doing very well, and they have never heard of anything wrong, but today they are so anxious, which makes Wang Ke feel a little bit more in his heart. nervous.

When he came to Li Ke's office, Wang Ke saw Li Ke walking up and down the room. It was obvious that he had something on his mind, but now he couldn't find a way to solve it.

Wang Ke walked lightly behind Li Ke, didn't speak, and didn't pat Li Ke on the shoulder as usual, just stood there quietly, waiting for Li Ke to turn back.

Li Ke lowered his head and was turning impatiently, but suddenly found a pair of feet in front of him. Li Ke didn't raise his head, and said in a gunpowder-scented way: "I didn't say a report when I came in, and I didn't say a word. I didn't see it." Is His Highness annoying? Get out of here quickly, or I will be served by a military stick!"

Only then did Wang Ke say: "It seems that Your Highness has eaten gunpowder today, forget it, I'd better leave quickly."

When Li Ke heard that it was Wang Ke's voice, he turned around abruptly, grabbed Wang Ke's arms, and said eagerly: "Brother Wang, you are here, but you are so worried about me. Think about it quickly." Find a way."

Wang Ke sat down unhurriedly and asked, "What's the matter, making our Highness so anxious."

Wang Ke deliberately pretended to be relaxed. He knew what Li Ke must be anxious about now. If he continued to worry, then Li Ke didn't know how anxious he would be.

Sure enough, Li Ke saw that Wang Ke was so relaxed, and he was not as anxious as before, and his mood improved a lot.Li Ke slowly relaxed and smiled. Although it was still possible to see that there was mostly a wry smile in it, it was a smile after all.

Wang Ke said in a teasing tone: "Tell me, what's bothering our Third Highness, tell me, and see if I can think of a way for His Highness."

Li Ke said quickly: "I just let Brother Wang see what's going on. We've been thinking about it for several days, but we haven't come up with a solution."

Wang Ke couldn't help but feel a little strange. Hasn't this period of time been going smoothly? Why can't something be resolved? It's been several days.

I couldn't help asking: "Why is it so serious? I haven't been able to figure out a solution for several days. Isn't the most difficult problem already solved?"

Li Ke could only smile wryly now, and shook his head and said, "Brother Wang, you have been so confused during this time. The previous problems were all on the barrel, and they were all for refining usable steel .The problem now is with the shells, it's not the same as before."

Only then did Wang Ke suddenly realize, and hurriedly said: "Go, take a look, I haven't seen what kind of shells you are using now."

The two came to the production workshop. As soon as they entered the door, Wang Ke saw several baskets of ball-like objects piled up in the corner. Wang Ke pointed to Li Ke and asked, "What are those? Are they the shells you made?"

Li Ke nodded and said, "That's right, you should take a look first."

Wang Ke walked over, picked up one, and weighed it in his hand. Feeling that it was heavy, he asked unconsciously, "Is it solid?" Li Ke nodded again.

Wang Ke shook his head and said, "This is not good. If you hit this one, it won't do much damage to the enemy."

Li Ke agreed: "It is because of this problem that I am researching explosive bombs, but there is a problem that I can't solve, so I came to you and asked you to give me an idea."

Wang Ke was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that these people had already thought of this question, and they brought it up without realizing it, and hurriedly said: "Take me to see, and see what step you have made."

Li Ke took Wang Ke to a workshop next to the test field. Wang Ke saw all the craftsmen were here, and everyone gathered together, wondering what they were tinkering with.

Wang Ke stepped forward and looked in. Li Ke separated the worker and pulled him in.The craftsmen saw that it was Wang Ke who came, because the last problem was solved under his guidance. This time, when they saw him, they automatically stepped aside so that Wang Ke could go to the table to see clearly.

Wang Ke saw two landmine-like objects on the table, probably the cannonballs they were talking about, so he didn't ask what they were, and asked directly: "What's the problem, let's talk about it first."

The craftsmen talked about the problems they encountered now, and Wang Ke listened quietly. After the craftsmen finished talking, Wang Ke also understood, and explained the simple problems one by one on the spot. .

But there is a problem that Wang Ke can't solve, what is it?That is, after the shells are fired, the lead wires often hit the ground, destroying the lead wires, and the shells cannot explode.

Wang Ke shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I won't be able to solve this problem for a while."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ke could clearly see that these people had disappointed expressions on their faces.

Wang Ke also didn't want to dampen their enthusiasm, but that's the way things are, you can't do whatever you want.

Wang Ke said frankly: "What you are doing now, if you want to succeed, I hope very little. As far as I know, the cannonball is not made in this way..." Wang Ke took what he knew, that the cannonball uses a trigger fuze, and thought it over. He said it all, and drew a profile of the shell.

After the lecture, Wang Ke said again: "You don't have to think about it now, you can slowly figure it out, and then think about how to do it. There is no rush for this matter."

After hearing Wang Ke's words, the craftsmen fell into deep thought.

Li Ke said dejectedly from the side: "Aren't all these things made useless? What a pity."

When Wang Ke heard this, his heart moved, and he said to Li Ke: "Your Highness, these things can't be said to be useless. If you think of a way and change it, it should still be useful."

Li Ke asked in surprise: "Can it still be used? How to change it?"

Wang Ke explained: "Look, now we use a fuse to detonate this thing. If we add an ignition device to it like a grenade, extend the pull wire, bury this thing in the soil, and wait for the enemy to detonate it." Walk close to it, and pull..."

As soon as I said this, Li Ke had already understood, rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "Okay, good idea, just change it like this, change everything like this."

After finishing speaking, he stopped, looked at the roof and said: "Well, I have already thought of a name. It is buried in the ground, so let's call it a mine!"

Yo ho, Wang Ke never expected that Li Ke's name was exactly the same as what later generations called this thing.
