Chapter 410 50 Little Girls (7)
"Old Li, don't scare my daughter," Liu Weiguo quickly said.
"Um, Uncle Li, let me do it. I'll know how to fix it better if I try it myself," Wangyou said with a forced smile, clearly feeling a bit out of sorts.
"This must weigh at least forty or fifty pounds, don't tire yourself out."
"No, actually, if I were to simply make a shoulder-fired rocket launcher, I could control the weight to around ten kilograms. But because this is combined with a cannon, the weight will be heavier during the design process. The total weight will not exceed ninety kilograms."
As he spoke, Wangyou loaded the cannon and began firing.
The shell explodes after 1.2 seconds, and takes 0.6 seconds to hit the ground, with a range of 1,700 meters.
"Five thousand five hundred meters! This is five thousand five hundred meters!"
"Not bad, there's practically no recoil, and the error is acceptable. It can be mass-produced, and the research can move on to the next step." Wangyou took out her notebook and wrote down the data for various books.
Then, Wangyou left the cannon where it was and ran back to her little laboratory.
While everyone was still in shock, Wangyou had already gathered all the relevant information and started preparing to study the guns.
However, before the next day was over, Wangyou's small laboratory was surrounded by layers of soldiers. This was discovered when Wangyou was about to go out for a meal.
"Dad, what's going on?"
"It's alright, can these cannons be mass-produced?" Liu Weiguo asked the question everyone was most eager to hear.
"Of course, as long as the machines are in place, each person can be responsible for a part, and at least three machines can be completed a day. Of course, this is under the condition that ten people work together. If there are more people, the number will naturally be more."
"Did you modify that machine yourself?"
"What else? The original machine can't do anything. What's wrong? Do you need me to hand it over? You should have said so earlier. I've prepared all the materials. Just follow the instructions. Modifying a few more machines is no problem at all." Wangyou shoved the bag she was carrying directly into Liu Weiguo's arms.
Liu Weiguo quickly hugged it; this wasn't just a bag, it was a treasure!
Liu Weiguo clutched the bag tightly, as if afraid someone would steal it.
"Dad, you don't need to be so nervous."
“How could I not be nervous? You don’t understand our country’s situation. The things you’ve researched may not even exist abroad,” Liu Weiguo said in a heavy voice.
“Dad, there will be more and more, our country will have more and more weapons,” Wangyou said firmly.
With the information provided by Wangyou, Liu Weiguo lost his appetite and packed up his food. The father and daughter returned to the military compound, and Liu Weiguo went to report back that very night.
Wangyou finished her dinner alone again, then washed the lunchbox and went back to her room to sleep.
The next day, Wangyou was invited to the large laboratory, where several experts were sitting. Some had gray beards, some were in their prime, and some were just starting out. But at that moment, they were all eager to learn and asked Wangyou some questions.
Because with their existing data and technology, they simply cannot build such sophisticated weapons, and they are really eager to know.
Wangyou was not stingy, but before she started answering everyone's questions, she asked someone to bring her a basin of water. Then she took out a packet of white powder from her bosom, poured it in, and then put her hands in to wash them.
"Dear uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, please wash your hands!"
The crowd was puzzled, but seeing that Wangyou had washed her hands, they didn't say anything. Instead, they lined up to wash their hands one by one until one person finished and the water turned green.
"This man is a spy!" Then, he quickly kicked the man, making him kneel down. Before the man could react, he chopped him in the neck with a chop, and the man immediately passed out.
"How did you determine that this was a spy?"
"Auntie, this is a secret. Let's get down to business today." Wangyou didn't answer, but instead told everyone to quickly look at the information and ask questions if they had any, as everyone's time was precious.
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped worrying about it and quickly took out the questions they had prepared to ask. As for asking a ten-year-old child if he had any sense of shame, the answer was absolutely no. Could a sense of shame compare to making the country stronger?
"Where did this formula come from, and why have we never seen it before?"
"It was recalculated; it should already be available overseas." Wangyou was prepared.
After reading it, everyone immediately understood and admired Wangyou's boldness and meticulousness, especially her pursuit of excellence in science.
But it must be said that she was successful; it doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat.
Then everyone started asking more and more questions, and Wangyou learned a lot from these experts, laying a solid foundation for her to create better guns.
During that time, apart from those who brought food, no one came out from inside. They discussed it for three days and three nights, and Wangyou simply couldn't take it anymore.
She admired the spirit of the big shots, but she was still a child and needed to grow!
Then, Wangyou forcefully ended the discussion, went to the adjacent lounge to rest, and asked the people outside to go in and pull the group of big shots out to rest as well.
Prolonged lack of rest can easily lead to sudden death, and given the current situation in China, we cannot afford to lose even one person.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Kingdom's arsenal was working overtime to modify machines according to blueprints and produce cannons.
At this time, a major event also occurred: the United States sent troops to Silla, planning to launch a war against Silla.
The Dragon Kingdom's territory borders Silla, and the relationship between the Dragon Kingdom and Silla can be described as interdependent; therefore, the Dragon Kingdom cannot stand idly by.
Hearing the news on the radio, Wangyou ran straight to the military region and saw Liu Weiguo and several of his comrades listening to it.
At that moment, Wangyou clearly realized that war was about to begin again, and her father and mother might once again go to the battlefield.
Wangyou stood there for a long time. She didn't go in to disturb Liu Weiguo, but returned to her small laboratory to prepare to make more advanced weapons. However, she found that there was an obstacle in the dark.
This means she's not allowed to research weapons anymore; she can't change too many things, and Wangyou is a little angry.
Unable to research weapons, Wangyou was somewhat lost for a moment. Considering the scarcity of various mineral resources in the Dragon Kingdom, she decided to research and find this machine.
Wangyou worked quickly, and soon she had finished making the mineral detector. A group of people took the newly made detector and set off.
Then, feeling helpless and heartbroken, Wangyou had no choice but to decline the arsenal's invitation. She didn't want to, more than anyone else, but reality wouldn't allow it.
Fortunately, the shells they had made earlier were still usable, which offered some solace to Wangyou.
Shells were being transported out in batches, but Wangyou always felt that there weren't enough. She suddenly had a fear, a fear called the fear of insufficient firepower.
Because she knew very well that the US had planes and tanks, while they did not. If they even had so few artillery shells, then this war could only be paid for with human lives. Among those lives would be her parents, her half-brothers, and countless Chinese soldiers, who might never return.
