Chapter 409 50 Little Girls (6)
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. There was no answer. Was it that they didn't want to? No, it was that they couldn't!
"Are you an expert in mechanics?" Wangyou asked as she approached an expert.
"I'm."
"Then, may I learn about mechanics from you?"
Why did you suddenly want to learn these things?
"Because dignity lies only on the edge of a sword, and truth lies only within the range of a cannon!"
I want to build powerful weapons so that no other country will bully us anymore.
"Okay, I'll teach you. As long as you want to learn, I'll teach you."
"Thank you. My name is Liu Wangyou."
"My name is Sun Chuanshu."
"Do you have any books that I can read?"
"Yes, I'll have someone send it to you when I get back. We need to lay the foundation before we can build a skyscraper."
The laboratory and military factory buried in the mountains have been found, so the matter here has nothing to do with Wangyou anymore.
After handing over the matters here to the local military, Liu Weiguo hurriedly returned to Kyoto with Wangyou and Hu Xiulan.
"If you work in Kyoto, then you must have a lot of power now, right?"
"No, it's all about serving the people."
"Then tell me your position!"
"Just a general."
"And what about you?" Wangyou asked Hu Xiulan.
"I am a field medic."
"You must have had a tough time during those years of war, right?"
"It's all in the past, our new life has begun."
"The future will be better."
Upon arriving in Beijing and settling into the military compound, Liu Weiguo and Hu Xiulan's lives became exceptionally busy.
They originally wanted to find someone to take care of Wangyou, but she refused, since she was already used to being alone anyway.
Wangyou visited Expert Sun and borrowed many mechanical books from him. However, she didn't take them for nothing; she exchanged them for the health-preserving pills she made.
After that, Wangyou buried herself in mechanical books, while her beloved medical books were temporarily set aside.
Wangyou has a good memory. Although she can't remember everything she sees, she can memorize it after reading it two or three times. As for logic problems, there's no need to worry about them at all. She seems to be born for this job.
With theory in hand, practice is needed. Wangyou wanted to find Expert Sun, but discovered that they had all suddenly disappeared without prior arrangement.
"Dad, do you know where Expert Sun went?"
Why are you asking this?
"I have some ideas that I want to put into practice, but I can't find anyone to help me."
"They went to do what they wanted to do."
Wangyou suddenly realized that not only did Expert Sun hear what she said that day, but he also took it to heart.
"Dad, I need a laboratory to test whether my idea is correct. If this theory can be put into practice, then the weight of our cannons can be reduced by at least half, while the power will be increased by more than 20%."
"Wangyou, can you take responsibility for what you said?" Liu Weiguo didn't refute immediately, but asked very seriously.
"I can do it, and I'm sure I can do it if you give me a lab."
“Okay, go back and wait, Dad will apply for it for you.” Liu Weiguo gritted his teeth and decided to believe in his daughter. Expert Sun had said that his daughter was a genius, and that she was born for this.
Despite pressure from all sides, Liu Weiguo applied for the equipment for Wangyou. On the day he received the key, Liu Weiguo's face was full of smiles.
Wangyou knew the pressure Liu Weiguo was facing, so she didn't want to disappoint him or let him be ridiculed. Therefore, she was determined to succeed.
There was only one machine tool, and it was a pipe dream to make all kinds of precision parts. But Wangyou did not complain because she knew that it was already good enough to be able to apply for one machine. The rest she could only rely on herself.
If the machine density is insufficient, she modifies it; if the functions are too few, she modifies them; if the strength is insufficient, she continues to modify it.
With no one to help her, she worked alone for two months to successfully transform the machine into a multi-functional machine tool that could cut large and small parts.
Wangyou's hands were covered in scars, but she didn't notice them as she was diligently drawing blueprints and making cannons.
After another month of polishing and cutting, the cannon that Wangyou had envisioned was born.
Wangyou locked the door and went straight to the military compound to find her father. "Dad, my cannon is a success. Can you find me a place to test it out?"
"Success? What did you mean, success?" Liu Weiguo didn't react for a moment.
"It's the cannon I made, hurry up, I can't wait."
"Dad will go with you."
"Wait, Lao Liu, I'm going too, bring more people." Another voice came from inside. Wangyou didn't recognize it, so she simply called out "Uncle" and pulled Liu Weiguo away.
Those behind quickly followed, regardless of whether it was true or not. With hope, how would they know if it was true if they didn't try?
They followed Wangyou all the way to her small laboratory. When Wangyou opened the door, everyone saw a cannon, which looked very simple.
Liu Weiguo went up and tried it out first, and found that he could easily pull it by himself. If it were two people, they could run away.
The person next to him also took a look. Wangyou picked up a box of shells and said, "Dad, take me to a place where we can test the shells."
"Forget-Me-Not, what's the range of your shells?"
"This shell can be disassembled into two parts. If you remove the top part, it becomes a shoulder-fired rocket launcher with virtually no recoil and a range of 1,000 to 1,500 meters. If you install the bottom part and adjust the caliber, the range can reach 8,000 to 12,000 meters, which is similar to those on the market."
"Daughter, you're not bragging, are you?!" Liu Weiguo was completely shocked; his daughter actually knew it.
"Whether it's bragging or not, we'll find out by trying," Wangyou said, unconvinced.
"Yes, Lao Liu, let's hurry up and... give it a try." The man next to him said excitedly. If this were true, it would be a cause for national celebration.
The group, some dragging and some carrying, arrived at an open space, which was also the site where an airport would be built in the future.
There's enough space; we can build whatever we want.
"Daughter, do you know how to use it? Or should Dad help you?"
"Dad, are you confused because you're nervous? I built it but I don't know how to use it. What are you talking about?" Wangyou walked past her father, loaded the cannon, adjusted the range, and then fired.
Five seconds later, everyone heard an explosion.
"Distance, 14,000 meters!"
This data stunned everyone present. Wangyou felt that the error was acceptable and could be improved. They were already preparing to dismantle the shells and test the shoulder-fired effect.
"Hey, Dr. Liu, you can rest now. Just tell me how to dismantle it," a bearded man rushed up and said solicitously.
“Just unscrew that screw,” Wangyou said, taking a step back.
"Okay." The man carefully disassembled the cannon as Wangyou had instructed. Wangyou then told him how to adjust the caliber and brought over the cannonballs from another box.
"Um, I...I'll try, but you can't get hurt."
