Kelly glanced at the man and asked Li Ke, "Have you investigated? Reliable and unreliable! "
Li Ke nodded and said, "I have investigated that his family died a few years ago. There is a son who is a soldier in my Datang army. He is the only one in the family. Now let him live in it and can’t go out casually."
Kelly was relieved and said to the two workers, "What’s the problem? Tell me first."
The westerner turned to look at the man who came in with him. The man was busy writing a few words in the ear of the westerner.
The talent from the western regions said to Kelly, "My Lord, now if we make this barrel of steel, it will explode in a short time. Later, we added a layer of copper main alloy in it, so that although the barrel feels like two layers, the wall of the barrel is greatly thinned and the weight is much lighter."
Kelly pulled up a gun and looked at it carefully. It was made of steel from the outside, but the bore could clearly see that it was made of copper and other metals.
Kelly knew that the barrel made by them would reduce the brittleness of steel because of the copper characteristics, so that it could withstand long-term repeated shooting, and in this way, large artillery could be made.
Kelly gave the two craftsmen an admiring look and asked, "That’s good. What’s not white about it?"
The two craftsmen looked at each other, and it was still the population of the western regions who said, "The problem now is not the gun but the shell."
Kelly picked up the shells to have a look again and found no problem. "What’s the problem? Doesn’t it look nothing? "
Li Ke spoke at this moment. "B-brother, I can’t say for sure. Let’s go to the proving ground and play a few shells and we’ll know everything."
Kelly thought it was a good idea. Now it is better to talk here for a long time than to shoot a few shells at the proving ground.
So Li Ke and the two workers came to the experimental field. The two workers quickly installed the gun rack and adjusted a height.
Kelly was a little surprised that he didn’t have threads yet. How did he adjust them?
Kelly looked at it with curiosity, not to mention that although there is no thread, these workers can think of making several feet of the gun mount retractable and making grooves on both sides to pin it after the height is adjusted, so that the gun mount can be conveniently put away when marching.
At this time, Kelly also had such imagination that he couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up to two workers to show his admiration.
Workers put the shells into the barrel and lit the fuse, and they saw the shells fly out of the barrel, but they didn’t see the shells explode when they fell to the ground.
Kelly ran over and picked up the shell from the ground. Judging from the part of the shell sticking to the soil, he knew that the shell was not pressed by the warhead, so the root of the fuze was not touched and it became a dud.
Li Ke took the shell in Kelly’s hand and said slowly, "B-brother, I’m in a hurry to ask you to come and see this. I dare not report it now, and I can’t invite my father to see the test firing."
Kelly’s thoughts have long been lost in this cannonball problem. Where is it? How to solve it? I turned a deaf ear to what Li Ke said and didn’t respond at all.
Want to ages Kelly also didn’t sort out a mess and took the shells from Li Ke to toss and turn in his hand.
Finally, Kelly found out that there was nothing wrong with the shell, but it looked like there were many problems carefully.
First of all, the pressure-firing fuse is not right. The fuse is to protrude. I just saw that the shell has not been fuzed, and I didn’t care. Now they have fuzed it, but it is almost even with the warhead.
Another most important reason is that the tail wing of the projectile should fly forward in rotation after being shot out of the chamber, but now they have made the tail wing connected with the projectile into a whole, which makes the tail wing of the projectile fail to balance during the flight, and often makes it impossible to guarantee that the projectile will land first when it hits the ground.
Kelly called two workers to his side and told them in detail the problems he found.
After listening to Kelly, the worker asked blankly, "How can this tail make it rotate?"
As soon as Wang Ke froze, it was not difficult to improve the appearance, but it was necessary to have a bearing to make it rotate. At that time, I didn’t think so carefully when I thought about making this weapon. Now it is a little late to think of this problem when there is a problem.
However, it has been done to this extent, and it is impossible not to continue to do it. So I dragged two workers to the ground and talked again.
Very easy to explain the whole structure, Kelly saw the two workers face a little difficult.
Kelly Bai, they are considering that the steel ball in the bearing is not easy to make, but Kelly has no choice but to know this principle. Actually, he will not pat the two men on the shoulder and say, "Thank you. If you can’t solve this problem, you can’t perfect it. If you want to make this weapon successful, you must solve this problem."
After a long silence, the two workers finally nodded and said, "Let’s try again and do it by all means!"
Kelly hurried to wink at once to let him have a word.
Li Kebai and Kelly mean to make themselves give these two workers a promise about what they will do after they figure out a way to solve this problem.
Li Ke said before he was busy, "If you manage to do a good job in the temple, what responsibility will the temple bear if you don’t do it well!"
The two men hurried to salute Li Ke and said, "Please rest assured that the villain will try his best to make it!"
Li Ke is another kind of encouragement. If they are excited, they will pack up their things and go back to work.
Chapter DiYiWu Nine to five
Kelly has nothing to do these days, and his three wives haven’t run around, but they are all with Kelly. Kelly plays brain games and mahjong with the three girls every day, and sometimes they hold guitars and sing at the request of the three girls.
Today, Kelly is very happy to finally encourage Nanping and Lanling to take out their musical instruments and perform them by themselves. Of course, Kelly has to pay the price for this, that is, to cook them for dinner tonight.
Kelly was busy in the kitchen when he saw Lanling pursed his mouth and came in with a face of unhappiness.
Kelly kept asking, "What’s the matter? Who bullied our princess hall! "
Lanling replied, "I still want to eat the general’s own cooking today, which will be ruined again."
Kelly said strangely, "I’m not doing it? How can it be ruined! "
Lanling said unhappily, "When those damn old men came again, they were eager to talk to the general. This is not my sister who asked me to come to the general."
Kelly said this Lanling for a long time without making it clear who came, and he didn’t know who the old men she said were good. He asked, "Lanling, you made it clear who came?"
Lan Ling said, "Who else is my uncle and grandson, Fang Daren and Du Daren?"
After that, Lan Ling took Kelly and said, "General, why don’t we just ignore them and wait until the dishes are finished before going out? Let them wait. Anyway, with my sister and Dongyue outside, let them have tea first. General!"
When Kelly heard that these three people were looking for themselves, it was white. There must be something wrong. These three people would not come to find themselves if they were fine. Today, they ran to the door without saying hello. Maybe it is quite urgent.
Kelly asked Lanling when he called the chef to take over for himself. "Didn’t Dad come back with them?"
Lanling shook his head and said that Wang Si didn’t come back to Kelly together, which is even more strange. All three of them have come to their home, so they said that this dynasty has already dispersed, but why hasn’t his father come back yet?
Kelly led Lanling to the front hall and kept thinking about this. What is going on?
After coming to the front hall, Kelly saluted several dead old men (Lanling language) and asked, "I wonder what the three uncles came to see my little nephew for today?"
Grandson Ji quickly got up and said, "Dear nephew, you have to talk about this matter. If you go to this court like this again, it will be tight to make coins and copper!"
Kelly didn’t react at the moment when he heard this. What made copper so nervous?
Kelly sat down and asked, "What is it? How can you make the court’s coinage copper tight? Please ask your uncles to talk to your little nephew carefully. "
Grandson avoid turned to Fang Xuanling and said, "Let’s talk about it as an adult. Now I don’t know how to say it clearly."
Fang Xuanling looked at his grandson and said to Kelly, "My dear, this is the way it is. Today, in the early morning, the Three Halls, together with Chai Shao’s adult, handed a folded face to the emperor, saying that the imperial court was required to allocate a batch of bronze to them because of the need to make a batch of artillery, and the emperor agreed without thinking."
Fang Xuanling simply said something and then said, "My good nephew also knows that there is not much copper mining in the imperial court every year, that is, a lot of money will be consumed every year, and there are not many savings left in other places. Now, if we want to increase the artillery to make copper, wouldn’t it be dug out from somewhere else? In that case, the coin-making copper will be much less. "
Wang Ke a stay he didn’t expect these three people to come to himself, but he wanted to say such a thing.
I have to talk about it myself, and I don’t know who to talk to. I have to tell Comrade Li Er that I can’t say it. Talking to Li Ke about this gun is also my own idea to let Li Ke try to do it. How can I say it? Besides, I didn’t speak on this matter.
Kelly some reluctantly said, "a few uncles this little nephew and who said? Besides, my little nephew is just an officer in the right-back army. It’s not that people in these departments can’t control these things. "
