170 A group of lovely and respectable old men

"Mine?"

Old Yan was also stumped by Ye Qingshan's sudden question.

After a while, he said to Ye Qingshan: "I am busy with so many things all day long. How can I have time to study your new mine?"

"No way, Mr. Yan,

I told you at the beginning that those new weapon blueprints I gave you were very important.

Why didn’t you study it?”

Ye Qingshan became anxious.

But Old Yan was not in a hurry, he chuckled and said, "Why are you in a hurry?

I don’t have time to research it, but I didn’t say it, and I didn’t let others research it.”

“Among the old guys who came with me, there was an old man with black-rimmed round glasses.

Do you remember? "

“Um, you’re talking about Mr. Zhang.

Of course I remember. "

Ye Qingshan nodded.

"Oh, that's right.

Old Zhang is the expert in studying mines.

I can not.

So, I gave the part about mines in the new weapon drawings you gave me to Lao Zhang to study.

Recently, the old guy seems to have done some good research.

When he met me two days ago, he said to me, "Goodbye, Commander Ye, I have a surprise for you."

You go and have a look now.

Let Xiao Wu take you there, he knows where Lao Zhang's workshop is."

Old Yan pointed at a young man next to him and said.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After hearing this, Ye Qingshan couldn't wait any longer and immediately walked down to the tunnel.

But after taking two steps, he returned and grabbed Old Yan, admonishing him, "I almost forgot.

Mr. Yan, didn’t I already give you the order to move quickly?

Why are you still here?

The Japanese Ninth Division outside is coming along Minsheng Road, and their target is our arsenal.

You guys need to move quickly, there is no time to delay."

“Hey, I know.

But our underground arsenal has so much wealth.

Even if you want to transfer, it takes time.

Commander Ye, go and do your thing.

I will take responsibility here. Even if I risk my life, I will never let the Japanese destroy our arsenal."

Old Yan assured Ye Qingshan not to worry.

"Okay, Mr. Yan, please."

At this time, Ye Qingshan was also overwhelmed and could only entrust the arsenal to Yan Lao and others.

Not long after, Ye Qingshan was led by an apprentice to a separate manufacturing room on the second floor of the underground tunnel.

I saw Mr. Zhang operating an old machine, cutting and polishing something.

When Ye Qingshan saw this scene, his nose suddenly felt sore. These weapons research experts were already nearly sixty years old.

They could have enjoyed their old age.

But now they have left their families and come to the dangerous city of Jinling, hiding in the dark tunnels, working day and night but never complaining.

It’s just because they love this country and nation, and they are unwilling to see a nation with a history of 5,000 years being bullied by these beasts, the Japanese devils.

If everyone is like this, who dares to insult our people!

Hearing someone coming in, Old Man Zhang didn't reply but shouted, "Get out, didn't I tell you to?

I can handle this by myself, I don’t need any help.”

"Mr. Zhang said that the new type of mine he was researching was too dangerous.

We were not allowed to come in to help, he researched and made it all by himself."

Xiao Wu next to him spoke to Ye Qingshan.

"Well, I understand.

Go and get busy. "

"Yes, Commander Ye."

After Xiao Wu left, Ye Qingshan approached the small tunnel and called out, "Master Zhang."

"Oh, it's Commander Ye.

Why are you here?"

When Mr. Zhang turned around and saw that the person coming was Ye Qingshan, his serious expression immediately turned into a smile.

"This is an urgent matter, so I'll be brief.

How is the progress of your research on the new type of mine?

Now, the Japanese three warships are coming along the Yangtze River.

I need the new type of mine you researched."

Ye Qingshan was in a hurry, so he went straight to the point and spoke to Mr. Zhang.

As a result, after listening to Ye Qingshan's words, Mr. Zhang suddenly became excited.

"The Japanese warships are coming?

Haha, God really has a good vision.

My new type of mine will sink a main battleship of the Japanese in its first battle?"

Mr. Zhang laughed excitedly.

Then, he immediately turned around, took out a long mine from a box, and placed it carefully in front of Ye Qingshan.

"Commander Ye, this is the design drawing of the new type of mine that I made based on the one you gave me.

After renovation, we utilized our existing conditions and materials.

A pressure mine manufactured.

Compared to the old traditional collision mines we used before.

The advantage of this type of pressure mine is that it is more sensitive and does not require the Japanese warships to come into contact with the mine.

It can explode.

Also, because of the use of the pressure-triggered principle, I have increased the size of the mine a lot.

More explosives can be placed, which will make the power greater.

Such a new type of pressure mine can be detonated at a relatively important position on the Japanese warship.

One shot is enough to blow apart the armor of the Japanese warship."

Mr. Zhang excitedly introduced his new type of mine.

Ye Qingshan then asked: "Have you done any experiments?

Also, what are the manufacturing costs?

Can it be mass-produced?

“The experiment has been done.

The manufacturing cost is not much higher than that of traditional mines.”

"That's enough."

Ye Qingshan smiled and nodded.

Then, Ye Qingshan said: "From now on, use the existing materials in your hands to start mass-producing these pressure mines."

“How much can be produced per day?”

"About a hundred."

"not enough."

Ye Qingshan shook his head: "We don't have much time, the Japanese warships should be here in two days at most.

By then, I will need at least five hundred of these new mines.

Can I?"

"can!"

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Zhang gritted his teeth and said.

“Is it really possible?

Mr. Zhang, there is no joking in the army.

If you say something, you must do it, otherwise it will delay the war."

Hearing Ye Qingshan's words, Zhang Lao said again: "Commander Ye, I can guarantee that we can make 500 new mines in two days.

But I also have requests.”

"You said."

“My request is very simple, that is, don’t let me lead others and move with the arsenal.

Let me bring people here right now and make it.

In this case, I can still give it a try with five hundred new mines in two days.

But if we move to a new place, it will take too much time.

By then, let alone five hundred coins.

Even two hundred would be enough.

How about it, Commander Ye, can you approve my request?"

"This will be very dangerous."

Ye Qingshan said hesitantly.

"Oh, Commander Ye, what time is it now?

Our little danger is nothing compared to the soldiers on the front line.

Don’t hesitate.”

Mr. Zhang said anxiously.

"All right! Just as you say."

After a moment, Ye Qingshan nodded vigorously.

At this point, he had no other choice.

"Haha, Commander Ye, that's right.

Just wait, my new type of mine will definitely not disappoint you.

If I can sink a Japanese warship, my death will be worth it."

When Mr. Zhang saw that Ye Qingshan agreed, he was as happy as a child and ran out to greet people.

"A group of lovely and respectable old men."

Ye Qingshan smiled and shook his head.
