Many trivial things at home made Wang Ke dizzy and 'flowery', and Wang Ke really felt unbearable. found Mrs. Wang and Dongyue, 'handed over' the matter to them, and slipped out of the house.

After coming out, Wang Ke felt that he didn't know where to go, and after wandering at the 'door' of his home for a long time, Wang Ke decided to go to see if Li Ke had made any progress in trying steel.

When he came to Li Ke's 'door', he actually saw that the signboard of the Gunpowder Manufacturing Bureau was really hung outside the big 'gate', Wang Ke smiled and greeted the soldiers guarding the 'door', and asked one of them to go in to inform Li Ke, leaning on the side of the car, and chatting with the rest of the guards bored.

After a while, I saw Li Ke, who was wearing a new military uniform, walking out with the soldiers who had just gone in to report.

Wang Ke deliberately circled around Li Ke several times before he spoke: "Your Highness is very good now, they are all major generals, look at this military uniform, it is much more majestic." ”

Li Ke scolded with a smile: "You kid, why don't you say that you still have the rank of lieutenant general, come here to laugh at His Royal Highness, do you want to die?" ”

Wang Ke immediately turned pale and said solemnly: "Your Highness's words are not right, this general, as an officer of the Right Guard, inspected his own barracks, and you, as a major general, saw that the commander was not respectful, but he used His Royal Highness's identity to oppress people." This is not in line with what the emperor said. Do you want to go to the emperor and make it clear! ”

Li Ke knew that Wang Ke was joking with himself, and he deliberately pretended to be scared and said: "Okay, okay, count me wrong, and salute Lieutenant General Wang now." That's fine. As he spoke, he raised his hand and pretended to salute Wang Ke.

Li Ke thought that Wang Ke would hold his hand and prevent himself from saluting, but who knew that Wang Ke was standing there motionless with his hands behind his back, just waiting for himself to salute him.

Li Ke was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had no choice but to put his raised hand up again and make a non-standard salute to Wang Ke.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ke replied to him with a standard military salute and said: "Your Highness's salute still has to be practiced, this is not good, when you see the emperor and the marshals in the future, how can you salute like this?" After speaking, Wang Ke rushed into the 'door' and entered the 'door'.

Li Ke looked at Wang Ke, he couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't have any ideas, Wang Ke's words and the last escape really made Li Ke want to punch him a few times.

Li Ke shook his head helplessly and walked into the 'door', but saw Wang Ke standing in front of him with a smile and looking at him. Li Ke took two steps, came to Wang Ke, and walked in with Wang Ke.

As Wang Ke walked, he asked Li Ke: "How is it, has there been any progress in steelmaking?" ”

Li Ke didn't say that it was okay, but when Wang Ke asked him like this, his brows immediately ran together, and his face became bitter and hateful.

Wang Ke walked for a long time without hearing Li Ke answer himself, turned his head and looked at Li Ke's appearance, and immediately knew in his heart that there must be no progress in this steelmaking. didn't ask anymore, and accompanied Li Ke to the place where the steel was smelted.

As soon as I entered, I saw a group of craftsmen gathered around, talking something. When these people saw Li Ke and Wang Ke coming in, they saluted one after another.

Wang Ke didn't have so much courtesy, and asked bluntly: "What is the situation now?" Who's going to talk about it first. ”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of them looked at Li Ke and didn't know if he should answer Wang Ke's question.

Li Ke nodded and said, "It's okay, just say what you have." ”

This person looked at Wang Ke and said, "This lord, there are many difficulties now. We also refined some, but after making the cannon barrel, it couldn't withstand the impact of the gunpowder at all, and all of them exploded. ”

Wang Ke frowned and asked, "What is the fuel used now?" Or wood? ”

The man shook his head and replied, "At first." Later, according to His Highness's orders, they were all changed to coal, and the quality was much better, but it still didn't work. ”

Wang Ke did not speak immediately, but looked up at the sky, looked at the roof for a long time and did not speak. The people in the room didn't know what he was thinking, and they all looked at Li Ke, Li Ke waved his hand, signaling not to make a sound.

He knew that Wang Ke was thinking about what was wrong. When he discussed something with Wang Ke before, as long as the problem was more serious, Wang Ke would make this action.

For a while, the room was so quiet that a needle could make a loud noise on the ground, and everyone's eyes were on Wang Ke.

Wang Ke stood there quietly, motionless. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and shouted, "That's right, that's it!" ”

The sudden scream startled everyone. But when they heard Wang Ke say right, they all knew that he must have thought of something, and everyone looked at Wang Ke eagerly, waiting for him to say what needed to be improved.

Wang Ke found a piece of scrap iron, squatted on the ground and drew a pattern of a kiln mouth, before looking up and saying: "Now we need to build such a kiln first, first smelt coal into coke, and then use coke to make steel, and the steel should be able to reach the quality we need." ”

I don't know who in this group of craftsmen came up with a sentence: "Why do you want to make this coke first, and then use this thing to make steel?" Can you explain the truth of this? ”

Wang Ke said embarrassedly: "This really stopped me." All I know is that I have to do this, but if I had to make a point, I wouldn't know. It seems that by doing so, the temperature required for steelmaking can be increased, and the quality of the steel can be better. I don't know the specifics, you just have to do what I say. I believe that even if you are wrong, Your Highness will not blame you. ”

Li Ke didn't have any other way at this time, so he said: "Don't worry about it, just do what the adults say, now I just want the result, regardless of the process, and after the steelmaking is successful, you can figure out the reason for yourself." Let's get started! ”

Wang Ke looked at Li Ke, he had been 'friends' with Li Ke for so long, and today was the first time he saw Li Ke make such a bold decision. Wang Ke couldn't help but appreciate Li Ke a little more.

Wang Ke stopped and was about to leave, and the craftsmen who were about to start work explained in detail the process of making coke and the matters to be paid attention to, until they all understood, and then waved them to leave.

After Li Ke waited for all the craftsmen to leave, he 'revealed' a worried look and said to Wang Ke: "Brother Wang, can it be done?" ”

Wang Ke said helplessly: "I can't say it either, but it should be okay." ”

Wang Ke thought for a while and said: "Also, you have to remember that you can't use pure steel to make cannon barrels, and you have to add some other metals to it when making steel, otherwise the rigid 'sex' is too strong, and the broken 'sex' is too big!" ”

Li Ke nodded understandingly, indicating that he remembered Wang Ke's words.
